Beside the road, a group of refugees in tattered clothes, carrying pots and basins, with sad faces, pulled children, women and the elderly, and walked towards Yangzhou Prefecture.
However, the journey was long, and everyone exuded a sense of decadence, looking extremely exhausted.
A child looked at the old man holding his hand with sad eyes and couldn't help but said, "Grandpa, I'm hungry."
"Just bear with it a little longer. When we get to Yangzhou Prefecture, we'll have something to eat."
A man held a baby girl in his arms. Even though his lips were so dry that they were cracked, he still poured all the remaining water in the kettle into the baby girl's mouth.
"Kid, we'll be there soon, you've got to hold on." The man looked tired, his eyes bloodshot, and it seemed he hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.
The baby girl's face was blue and there were a lot of pus-filled sores on her forehead, as if she had some kind of disease.
The baby girl soon vomited out the water she drank, along with fishy and yellow impurities.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of galloping horses at the end of the road. Dust was flying on the road, and several horses could be seen faintly coming.
The horses were good horses. In the blink of an eye, they had closed the distance of hundreds of feet. More than ten horses rushed out from the yellow dust.
The leader of this group of people was a young man from an aristocratic family who was dressed in luxurious clothes. He looked like the kind of person who lived a life of luxury, was arrogant and doted on by his parents.
Behind him were tall guards dressed in tight clothes, each with a sword on his waist and a ferocious look on his face.
Seeing this, the refugees all hid to the sides of the road, fearing that they would be hit by this group of people in time.
However, this group of refugees included both young and old. The old ones were already exhausted, and their legs were not nimble, so they suddenly had no way to hide in time.
Seeing that the beloved horse of the young master of a noble family was about to hit an old man, the old man had no intention of slowing down or stopping the horse. Instead, he showed an inexplicably excited smile and swung the whip in his hand fiercely at the horse pigu.
Bang!
In an instant, the horse hit the old man hard and knocked him away with an unstoppable momentum, causing the surrounding refugees to shout and be shocked.
Who are these people?
Is there any justice in the world? When he saw someone, he not only didn't slow down, but instead bumped into them. It was obviously intentional!
After hitting the person, the young man laughed even more happily, waving his whip and trying to leave quickly.
But at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side of the road and stood in the middle of the road fearlessly.
But it was a girl in a blue dress.
"Why did you hit someone on purpose?"
The young master of aristocratic family laughed loudly: "How dare you, you dare to block my way? You are looking for death."
After saying that, he controlled the horse under him and charged towards the girl.
Seeing the tall horse charging towards her, the girl was frightened, but she didn't move an inch. She still raised her arms and shouted, "It's wrong for you to hit me!"
Seeing that the horse was about to hit her, her fate would be exactly the same as that of the old man before.
In an instant, an arm suddenly appeared, grabbed the girl's shoulders and pulled her behind him.
As everyone watched, the horse suddenly collided with the man who took action when he saw injustice. Some people were reluctant to see the scene and could only close their eyes silently.
At this critical moment, the man moved.
He stretched out his other hand calmly and easily pressed the neck of the horse under the young master of a noble family.
Bang!
As everyone imagined, the situation of the man being knocked away did not happen. Instead, the young man who suddenly appeared actually stopped the galloping horse with just one arm.
"Ouch!" The horse let out a mournful cry as its neck was broken by Qin Yuesheng's blow. The horse then collapsed limply to the ground. The young master of a noble family sitting on the horse had no chance to react and immediately fell out uncontrollably, rolling several times on the ground.
"Young Master!" Seeing their young master encounter such a thing, the guards pulled the reins hard, jumped off the horses immediately, ran quickly to the side of the young master from the noble family, and helped him up.
"Master, Master, are you okay?" The guards looked very nervous and were extremely worried.
This young man from aristocratic family is named Zhang Huangzhi. He is the eldest son of the Jianghe Salt Gang in Yangzhou Prefecture. The Jianghe Salt Gang is a major force in Yangzhou Prefecture, and Zhang Huangzhi is deeply favored by the gang leader. If anything happens to him, these guards will never be able to stay in Yangzhou Prefecture again, and even their lives may be in danger.
They were able to escape, but the elderly and children in their families who lived in Yangzhou Prefecture could not escape. They were inevitably captured by the Jianghe Salt Gang, put into sacks, filled with stones, and their bodies were sunk into the Gusu River.
Zhang Huangzhi fell off his horse without any preparation. The inertia of the fall was not small, and the ground was full of sand and stones. The skin exposed outside his clothes was rubbed into a bloody mess, which was a horrible sight.
"Ah! Kill this man! Kill him!" Zhang Huangzhi roared with anger. In his rage, he only knew that it was the man who stopped the horse who hurt him so badly, but he ignored the fact that the other party was able to stop the horse, and how strong he would be.
Qin Yuesheng looked at the group of people in front of him with calm eyes. He was just passing by here. Seeing that this person was so arrogant and domineering, relying on his family background to not take other people's lives seriously, he couldn't help but stop him.
