Chapter 644: Frightened Horse
After Wan Quan changed his clothes, the group finally left the general's mansion. Fubao had already sent someone to deliver a letter to Liu Shiyu and arranged a meeting place. Fubao asked Wan Quan to take them there and wait.
The place where Fubao made an appointment with Liu Shiyu to meet was a teahouse. Fubao and Wanquan arrived first. They ordered a pot of tea at the window seat. Fubao could only drink scented tea, so Wanquan ordered a pot of jasmine tea, which was fragrant and added some honey. Fubao drank several cups.
"It's getting late and Miss Liu hasn't arrived yet. Banxia, are you sure you delivered the letter?" Wan Quan looked at the sky outside. The sun was already high in the sky.
"General, it was given to Yin Qiao by the maid herself. Miss Liu must have received it, but I don't know whether she will come or not."
As Banxia spoke, she glanced out the window and saw a carriage parked outside the teahouse. A master and servant got out of the carriage. The master covered her face with a veil, but the maid did not. Banxia recognized them at a glance. They were Yin Qiao and Liu Shiyu.
"General, people are coming." Banxia pointed down and said to Wanquan with a smile.
Fubao and Wanquan immediately turned their heads and looked down, and indeed saw two people.
Just as Fubao was about to wave and say hello to Liu Shiyu, he saw a horse rushing towards him.
"Get out of the way! The horse is frightened! Get out of the way!" A young man on the horse pulled the reins hard and waved the whip in his hand to warn everyone along the way. However, this was the main street and there were many people at this time. Many people had been trampled by the horses. There were wailing sounds on the street, but the horse became more crazy and ran faster.
"General! The horse is frightened, Miss Liu..."
Banxia and Baizhi both saw a horse rushing towards Liu Shiyu and her servant.
Fubao stared at the horse with his big frightened eyes full of fear. Banxia and Baizhi were also sweating.
"Banxia, Baizhi, you two go save the people. I'll control the horse. Be quick. Miss Liu can't make any mistakes."
Wanquan said this and had already leaned half of his body out of the window.
Banxia and Baizhi jumped down from the windows on both sides, one by one, and pulled Liu Shiyu and her servant away to the side of the road.
As soon as the two men left the spot, the horse flew out, brushing against their clothes.
Wan Quan seized the opportunity, swooped down from the sky, and landed steadily on the horse, throwing the person on the horse off.
It is not easy to tame a frightened horse, and this horse has trampled many people, and it is not known whether anyone has died.
It takes time to tame the frightened horses, but who knows how many more people will be harmed during this period?
Wanquan acted decisively, bent down, pulled out a dagger from his boot, and stabbed it into the horse's neck.
The horse felt the pain and became even more crazy, but Wan Quan's aim was still good and hit the horse's trachea just right. The horse didn't jump for long before it fell to the ground with a bang. Wan Quan jumped to the side from the horse's back and somersaulted several times on the spot before he stabilized himself.
The streets were already in a mess at this time. Wherever the horses passed, people and horses would fall to the ground and scream in pain.
Just then a patrol team heard the news and came over. When they saw Wan Quan, they immediately stepped forward and saluted.
"Greetings, General Wan. I wonder what happened here?"
"This horse got scared and injured many people. You should help to resettle them and try to restore order on the street as soon as possible. Also, arrest the owner of the horse and send him to the government office for questioning. He should compensate for all the losses on this street and pay for the medical expenses of the injured."
"Yes, General, I will take him away right away."
Liu Shiyu, who was already standing in the teahouse at this time, stood by the window. She witnessed the whole process of Wan Quan training and killing horses. Her heart couldn't help but beat fast, and she felt an unprecedented emotion in her heart. She looked at Wan Quan's tall figure and the aura of a superior, and she was deeply immersed in it and couldn't extricate herself.
Fubao secretly covered his mouth and laughed.
"Sister Shiyu, is my big brother very powerful?"
Liu Shiyu's face turned red, and she quickly lowered her head and took a sip of scented tea to cover it up.
"Sister Shiyu, did you use the wrong cup? This seems to belong to my older brother, and he seems to have already drunk it."
Fubao never stops saying something shocking, and Liu Shiyu was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Liu Shiyu hurriedly put down the cup, feeling that the day had already made her sweat a lot.
"Um, Sister Fubao, didn't you ask me to go shopping? Let's go now?"
Liu Shiyu quickly changed the subject, stood up, and hurried downstairs as if a hungry wolf was chasing her.
But the more anxious a person is, the easier it is to make mistakes. Liu Shiyu was walking down with her skirt lifted up, when suddenly her head bumped into a strong chest.
"Hiss..." Liu Shiyu covered her forehead, which already had some red marks.
She looked up, and her watery eyes met a pair of dark eyes.
"Miss Liu, are you okay? I offended you." Wan Quan didn't know how to deal with girls. Looking at the red mark on Liu Shiyu's forehead, he was thinking: How come this woman's skin is so tender? He didn't feel anything, but her skin was already red.
Wan Quan couldn't help but move his gaze downwards. When he saw Liu Shiyu's exposed snow-white neck, he knew that he shouldn't let his imagination run wild and quickly turned his head away.
"General Wan, it was my own fault that I didn't see it clearly. It's not your fault." Liu Shiyu bowed as a salute to Wan Quan.
"Sister Shiyu, why are you running so fast? Eh? Big brother? You're back?"
Fubao chased after them and saw the two of them standing at the corner of the stairs, staring at each other.
However, thanks to Fubao, the happy guy, the atmosphere soon eased.
"Let's go shopping, shall we? Sister Shiyu, my big brother wants to buy some clothes, so I'll leave it to you. I don't know how to buy clothes for adults anyway, so Sister Shiyu, please help my big brother with some advice."
Liu Shiyu was so frightened by Fubao's words that she almost choked on her own saliva.
Although the two are already engaged, isn't it a bit too against etiquette to buy clothes for the future husband?
"Sister, I'm here to go shopping with you today. Just buy what you want, as well as things to bring back for grandma and your family. Don't worry about anything else." Wan Quan saw that Liu Shiyu's face was so red that blood seemed to drip out, and he knew that Fubao's proposal was definitely too much to ask. Besides, he really didn't need clothes.
Fubao's attention was immediately diverted by Wanquan.
The few of them strolled until the sun set before returning home.
Fubao also made his own decision and bought a set of jewelry for Liu Shiyu, saying that he picked it for his brother.
Liu Shiyu watched Fubao choose the jewelry with her own eyes. The jewelry was not cheap. Even if they were buying such expensive jewelry in the capital, they would have to think twice before buying it. But Fubao didn't even blink an eye. It was either that the general's mansion was very rich, or that the general doted on his sister.
But Liu Shiyu is more inclined to the latter. Her parents told her yesterday that General Wan came from a grassroots background and had no family background. When they get married, they will prepare more dowry for her.
Liu Shiyu didn't know that the general's mansion had become a mountain of gold and silver.
