"Brother-in-law, be careful!" Chu Youzhao's heart jumped into her throat as she saw the galloping horses.
It is important to know that cavalry has an overwhelming advantage over infantry. When cavalry charges on the battlefield, it is like the arrival of death for infantry.
Murong Qinghe sighed. Since Brother Chu cares so much, she would try her best to save her brother-in-law's life later. She thought that the Prince of Qi would still give her face.
Zaun stood still with his hands behind his back, seemingly oblivious to the charging cavalry.
"Scared out of your wits, aren't you!" All the knights had the same thought in their minds. Originally, their charge was planned to be a flanking maneuver, completely cutting off the opponent's space to dodge, and finally forcing him step by step to have nowhere to hide.
Unexpectedly, this guy just stood there dumbly without dodging or avoiding anything, which made things even easier.
If he were hit by that galloping horse, his sternum would probably be half broken, but who told him to offend the prince?
A group of knights, a sinister smile playing on their lips, charged straight at him.
Just then, a sudden change occurred. The charging horses suddenly stopped, and in the blink of an eye, they went from extreme motion to extreme stillness.
Many riders were caught off guard and fell heavily to the ground due to inertia. Only a few with high skill levels were able to maintain their balance, but they swayed from side to side and were in a sorry state.
The riders who fell to the ground had no idea of such an unexpected turn of events. They were all bruised and battered, many even suffering broken bones. A few unlucky ones even braked face-first, knocking out half of their teeth. Their noses were bleeding, and their mouths were full of blood and foam, making them look extremely disheveled.
Everyone was stunned. Chu Youzhao and Murong Qinghe subconsciously rubbed their eyes, as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
The group led by the Prince of Qi looked at the suddenly out-of-control mounts with puzzlement. These were warhorses that had undergone rigorous training and were not frightened even on the battlefield amidst the roar of cannons. Why were they suddenly like this?
The toothless coachman on the other side of the carriage exclaimed in surprise, muttering to himself, "How did this guy do that? Even I can't figure it out."
Zuan looked leisurely at the knights groaning in pain on the ground and said jokingly, "It's not even the New Year yet, and you're all rushing to kneel and bow to me. I'm not giving you any New Year's money."
"You brat, you're asking for death!" The knights were furious. Ignoring their injuries, they drew their swords and charged at him. They hadn't used their weapons during the initial charge, but now they were truly enraged by this guy.
The knights' rage has increased by 999+999+999...
The remaining knights who hadn't been thrown off also rushed over.
Murong Qinghe explained from the side: "Most of these knights are fourth or fifth grade, and there are several sixth graders. The key is that they come from the empire's most elite field army and are proficient in the art of combined military formations. Even a seventh grade expert would be in danger if he encountered them alone."
Hearing her words, Chu Youzhao's heart, which had just been at ease, jumped again.

I went to bed around 1 a.m. last night, and was woken up before 6 a.m. by my child playing with all sorts of toys. I've decided that next time he has a holiday, I'll give him all the homework and tests for the next day in advance, so he can experience what it means to have a father's love as deep as a mountain, hmph...
The time for today's second update is still uncertain.
