Chapter 75 Spare their lives
"Please help us!"
"Please help us!"
Hundreds of refugees poured into the horse farm in an instant!
They cried out, "Savior! Please save us!"
Before the guards could react, they had already surrounded Qin Jinzhi and the others on the horse track!
"Assassins! Protect Your Majesty!"
Upon seeing Qin Jinzhi surrounded by refugees who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, the Empress immediately stood up!
"Quickly, save my Golden Branch!!! Go now!"
If someone hadn't stopped her, the Empress would have loved to go up and save the person herself.
The emperor also stood up anxiously, "What's going on! Seize them at once!"
He glared angrily at the audience below and shouted, "Du Chong! What's going on here!"
Du Chong, his face still bandaged, disregarded his injuries and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty! I don't know what happened either?"
The emperor, seeing him still kneeling there, angrily rebuked him: "Then hurry up and save her! If anything happens to the princess, I will hold you accountable!"
The panicked young ladies and gentlemen, along with the noble families who had come with them, once again recognized the status of this Princess Jinzhi after hearing His Majesty's words.
His Majesty's two sons were also trapped, but His Majesty's first concern was for this little princess!
Du Chong immediately led his men over.
Some of the guards stayed behind to protect the emperor, empress, and other dignitaries.
The rest of them rushed over to rescue people.
Cui Ying could hardly believe what she was seeing!
Qin Jinzhi actually pulled the seventeenth prince off his horse!
"Help! The Seventeenth Prince is in danger!"
For some reason, these people came straight at them.
The large number of refugees surrounded Qin Jinzhi and her group.
Xiao Chuan felt as if countless people were stepping on his face, body, and legs.
It looks like he has several broken ribs!
There were still people living around, and he was being shaken.
However, most people crowded around Qin Jinzhi.
The guards immediately drew their swords, and many refugees died on the spot.
Immediately, there were wails, screams, and roars.
The refugees began to flee in all directions, but the people surrounding Qin Jinzhi still did not disperse!
The men at the front even tried to pull Qin Jinzhi off her horse!
The guards became even more ruthless in their haste!
The people at this horse racing track are all top-tier individuals from the capital!
If any of them get into trouble, they'll all lose their lives.
Especially this little princess, the Empress and His Majesty were so anxious they almost jumped off the stands!
Cui Ying's horse was startled and reared up, trying to throw her off!
She barely managed to stay upright and avoid being thrown to the ground.
Although she possessed some martial arts skills, horseback riding was not her forte.
Just when she thought she was about to be thrown to the ground, a hand suddenly pulled her away!
"yue..."
Cui Ying slammed into the saddle, landing face-first on Qin Jinzhi's horse.
Qin Jinzhi quickly drew a whip from her waist.
The whip wrapped around the horse's body once, then lashed out with a "snap!" at the person pushing against the horse.
A brief open space appeared around them.
Pei Jinnian was also swaying precariously on his horse.
Qin Jinzhi came to his side, reached out and hooked his reins, turned his horse around, and flicked its rump. Pei Jinnian was immediately pulled by the horse towards the guards, but was stopped by the guards after only a few steps.
The guards rushed to Qin Jinzhi, "Princess! Are you alright!"
Taking advantage of the gap in the crowd being dispersed, the guards finally arrived at Qin Jinzhi's side and protected her behind them.
Qin Jinzhi said condescendingly, "Hurry up and seize them! If anything happens to the two princes, you will all lose your heads!"
Upon hearing this, the guards rushed towards the trapped sixth prince and the seventeenth prince who was surrounded by the crowd!
Qin Jinzhi, after abandoning Cui Ying with the Cui family's servants, rode her horse to the stands and addressed the emperor, saying, "Grandfather, the Qiankun Bow!"
The Qiankun Bow, originally intended as the prize for this polo match, was hung in front of the Emperor and Empress's stands.
The emperor immediately ordered, "Quickly give her the bow!"
The guard immediately went to fetch the bow, and cleverly, he didn't forget to bring the quiver as well.
Qin Jinzhi drew three arrows from the quiver and nocked them on the bow!
She frowned and drew the bowstring taut, and three arrows, whistling through the air, struck the three people at the forefront of the riot!
The three were the ones who were trying to bring Qin Jinzhi and Cui Ying down from their horses.
"Surrender now and we'll spare your lives! Otherwise, we'll all be shot on sight!"
Qin Jinzhi's voice was cold, but her words were firm and resolute!
Fear, terror, cries of injustice, and wailing filled the air.
They were only there to express the people's plight. Due to the floods in Jiangnan, they had been displaced and had only thought of finding a way to survive after hearing that there was a banquet being held here today.
In no time, all the fleeing refugees were subdued!
Just then, Du Chong suddenly received a signal from Du Zhong.
Du Chong's eyes widened. His great-uncle had actually ordered him to kill all these refugees.
Du Zhong of the Du family was a man of his word, and Du Chong immediately gave his subordinates a meaningful look.
The guard closest to him suddenly drew his sword and stabbed the nearest refugee into the body.
Qin Jinzhi drew an arrow and aimed it directly at the neck of a guard who was raising his knife to strike again.
He was about to kill an old man when he closed his eyes in despair.
Suddenly I felt warm liquid running down my face.
The moment he opened his eyes, an arrow pierced the neck of the guard in front of him!
That warm liquid was spurting blood!
Du Chong roared as he charged toward Qin Jinzhi, "Qin Jinzhi! What are you doing!"
With a hint of anger on her face, Qin Jinzhi slung her bow over her shoulder and instantly wrapped the whip around Du Chong's neck!
She braced one foot against Du Chong's shoulder and tightened the whip in her hand!
"I said I'd spare their lives, don't you understand?"
Du Chong's men panicked when they saw their colleague who had just been shot to death and Du Chong who was about to be strangled. They didn't know what to do with the knife in their hands.
Just then, a voice as chilling as hell rang out, "Who else wants to test my arrows?"
Du Chong looked at Qin Jinzhi's cold and expressionless face, gripping the whip tightly, as if he was afraid that if he loosened his grip even slightly, he would stop breathing!
Qin Jinzhi really wanted to strangle him!
Du Chong's men dared not make any further moves.
Du Zhong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Princess Jinzhi! What are you doing! Release Du Chong at once!"
Qin Jinzhi didn't even glance at him, but instead said to the other guards, "Anyone who dares to lay a hand on you will be killed without exception! Bring these refugees before the Emperor's grandfather and grandmother!"
She then released the whip and kicked Du Chong to the ground.
He rode his horse back to the Emperor and Empress.
Many people at the racecourse changed their expressions.
Amid the chaos, many people had already guessed the identities of these refugees!
How did these refugees end up in the horse ranch?
The disaster they had tried so hard to contain had somehow reached His Majesty's ears!
Du Zhong looked at Du Chong, who was panting heavily on the ground, and cursed him in his heart as a good-for-nothing!
