Chapter 73 Crisis
Yuan Ziyu had a layer of cold sweat on her forehead. She held the reins of the carriage tightly, but the horse was stimulated by something and could not be controlled at all. It ran wildly in the streets of the downtown like crazy, and people and horses fell wherever it went.
It would be fine if it wasn't in the downtown area. Just let the horse run wildly, and Yuan Ziyu would always find an opportunity to jump down with Qingzhi.
But now, in this busy city, she was surrounded by helpless civilians. She simply couldn't bear to watch them get injured because of the frightened horses.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly! The horse is frightened!" Qingzhi saw that he could not help Yuan Ziyu, so he opened the small window of the carriage and kept shouting outside the carriage.
"Oh, that kid..." The people hiding on the street looked at the carriage rushing towards them with horror, while a boy of four or five years old seemed to be frightened and didn't know how to dodge. He just stood in the middle of the road, looking at the carriage rushing towards him.
"Ah... my child, save my child! Please, save my child..." A woman ran towards the child like crazy from a distance, but distant water could not quench immediate thirst, so she could only run and cry!
But who would dare to risk his life to pull the child away at this time?
There was desperation in the woman's voice.
Yuan Ziyu looked at the child getting closer and closer, feeling anxious. He pulled the reins hard, but the horse remained unmoved and continued to rush straight towards the child. There were constant exclamations from all around, and some people even closed their eyes because they couldn't bear it.
If it crashes into him like this, the child will surely die.
Yuan Ziyu gritted his teeth and swung the whip in his hand fiercely, hitting the left side of the horse's head hard.
The horse felt the pain from being whipped on the head, and cried out a few times. Then the horse's hooves staggered a few steps to the right and galloped forward again, just avoiding the position where the boy was standing.
But the next moment, the boy was about to crash into the carriage.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise!
Yuan Ziyu hooked his foot on the carriage door, bent down on the galloping carriage, grabbed the boy in his hand, and threw him towards the nearest burly man: "Catch him!"
Although the man did not dare to step forward to pull the boy away, he was still agile and courageous. Seeing Yuan Ziyu throwing the boy over, he hurried forward a few steps and caught the boy in his hands. However, the momentum was too great and he could not help but take a few steps back. Fortunately, the people behind him hurriedly supported him, so he was not hurt.
Yuan Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the man catch the boy steadily. He turned over with a little skill and sat on the shaft of the carriage, trying hard to control the frightened horse. Fortunately, the people behind him were prepared, and the carriage rushed towards the east gate safely.
"Child, my child!" The woman finally ran up to him and saw that the boy was safe and sound. She immediately hugged the child and burst into tears.
At this time, the boy seemed to feel fear and hugged his mother and cried heart-wrenchingly.
The people around were sighing and lamenting the boy's good luck. The scene just now was extremely thrilling.
Suddenly someone exclaimed, "Oh, I remember now, that was...that was Miss Yuan Er from the Yuan Mansion!"
"What? Who did you say that person was?" Someone asked hurriedly, "Miss Yuan Er, are you sure?"
"Yes, I recognize her. She is Miss Yuan Er from the Yuan Mansion. During the Lantern Festival, I was not far from Miss Yuan Er. I saw her clearly at that time. I recognized her. It was her!" The man said hurriedly with a look of pride on his face.
"It really is Miss Yuan Er!"
"Oh my god, this Miss Yuan Er is so amazing!"
"But why is Miss Yuan Er's horse frightened?"
"Yes, will Miss Yuan Er be in trouble?"
"Do you want to go to Yuan Mansion and tell them?"
…
For a moment, everyone became worried about Yuan Ziyu's safety.
Yuan Ziyu barely managed to control the galloping carriage, rushed out of the east gate of the capital, and headed east.
The horse was so fast that not only the soldiers guarding the city gate were stunned, but even the person who was ordered to protect Yuan Ziyu could not catch up for a while and could not help but become anxious.
Yuan Ziyu gritted his teeth and pulled the reins hard. The road outside the city gate was even more bumpy, and the carriage was shaking even more violently. The rough rope soon made Yuan Ziyu's palms bleed.
The horse can't be allowed to run like this anymore. Yuan Ziyu frowned tightly. She instinctively felt that if it continued to run like this, it would be surrounded by the enemy, but she couldn't cut the reins. If that happened, she might be fine, but Qingzhi would be in danger.
Yuan Ziyu thought quickly and soon made a decision. She inserted the dagger into the shaft of the carriage and tried to use the force to jump onto the horse's back, but this action was too dangerous. If she was not careful, she would fall under the carriage and be trampled by the galloping horse.
Yuan Ziyu did not dare to be careless and adjusted the angle of his jump with the help of the dagger.
"Second Miss, don't, that's too dangerous!" The warm curtains in the carriage had already fallen down on the way, and Qingzhi saw what Yuan Ziyu was going to do at a glance.
Qingzhi was very anxious, but she was too weak to help Yuan Ziyu at all. At this moment, Qingzhi hated herself very much for not practicing martial arts well before.
But she couldn't just watch Yuan Ziyu take risks.
"Second Miss, I'll do it!" Although she was nervous, Qingzhi still moved out little by little by holding on to the wall of the car.
"Hold on tight and don't move!" Yuan Ziyou noticed Qingzhi's movements and shouted, "Otherwise, I won't want you when we return home."
"Second Miss..."
"Don't you listen to me?" Yuan Ziyu glared.
"Your servant..."
"Shut up!"
After Yuan Ziyu finished speaking, he found the right angle, took a deep breath, and jumped onto the horse's back. Then he grabbed the horse's mane and managed to stabilize his body.
Qingzhi in the carriage covered her mouth tightly, fearing that any sound would disturb Yuan Ziyu and put her in danger. Only when she saw Yuan Ziyu successfully riding on the horse did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Yuan Ziyu rode on the horse's back, took a deep breath, then leaned forward and put his hand on the horse's forehead. With a thought, a small handful of spring water appeared in Yuan Ziyu's palm. The spring water flowed down the horse's face and into its eyes and mouth.
Soon, the horse began to slow down. Yuan Ziyu seized the opportunity, grabbed the horse's mane tightly, and let out a long sigh!
Finally, the carriage stopped and Yuan Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's great, Second Miss, I..." Qingzhi's voice came from the carriage, but suddenly stopped!
Yuan Ziyou was startled and looked back quickly.
