Chapter 149 Flower God
Ming Huazhang hugged Ming Huashang tightly, and the demons in his mind gradually dissipated, leaving only. Time was running out, so he hugged Ming Huashang for the last time, stood determination up, and said, "The procession out of the palace has already left, I'm going to Furong Garden to stop Liao Yushan."
"I'll go with you." Ming Huashang also stood up hurriedly and was about to run out. Seeing this, Ming Huazhang hurriedly said, "Put on your clothes and be careful not to catch a cold. It will take time to prepare the horse. Go back and change your clothes first, and I'll see you in the stable later."
Ming Huashang glanced at her cloak and inner garment. Whether she could see people was secondary. This set was really inconvenient to move. She did not argue and hurried out. When she ran to the door, she paused and said, "Second brother, remember to prepare three horses."
Three horses? Ming Huazhang was wondering why three horses were needed, when he suddenly saw the people outside through the wide-open door.
In the early morning, the mist had not yet dissipated, and the rustling ancient trees were shrouded in the cold light. Su Yuji, dressed in a neat and energetic outfit, was leaning against the shadow of the wall, and his expression could not be seen for a moment.
Ming Huazhang was stunned for a moment, quite surprised: "Ruoshui? Why are you here?"
He thought of Ming Huashang's expression, paused slightly, and suddenly realized.
They had once trained in Zhongnan Mountain, and later all seven of them stayed in Chang'an, so they knew each other's true identities. Ruoshui's real name is Su Yuji, and she is Su Xingzhi's sister. The two of them are from Taiyuan Prefecture, the northern capital.
Su...
The nanny who took the other daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo away that year seemed to be surnamed Su. What's more, Ming Huashang's mother's ancestral home was Taiyuan.
It is obvious who Ruoshui is and why she appears here.
Ming Huachang had already run far away, leaving only Ming Huazhang and Su Yuji in the courtyard. There seemed to be a strange aura floating in the wind. Ming Huazhang took the initiative to break the silence and said, "Sorry."
Su Yuji held the knife and looked at him from a distance. She said slowly, "I don't know how to address you, Shao Yin, Nan Dou, or Your Highness the Prince?"
Ming Huazhang knew that he had let down the Ming sisters a lot, and it was normal for Su Yuji to be hostile to him. Ming Huazhang said, "Just call me by my name. Were you the one who persuaded Shangshang last night?"
"No." Su Yuji said coldly.
Ming Huazhang nodded and said sincerely, "Thank you. There are some things I don't know how to tell her. Fortunately, you came and she was able to cheer up so quickly."
Su Yuji snorted and turned to walk out without buying the bill. Ming Huazhang didn't mind, he took the initiative to lead the way and said, "The stable is here."
The horses were fed yesterday. Ming Huashang did not alarm the groom and quickly led out three horses. Su Yuji stood aside to take care of the horse's mane, while Ming Huazhang adjusted the riding gear for Ming Huashang. After a pause, he still said, "I know this is your own choice, but out of selfishness, I still want to say a few more words. I have been sorry for you these years. Don't blame the Duke of Zhenguo, he was helpless. Although he never said it, I know that he has always felt guilty for sending you away. If you are willing, I still want to invite you to meet him. He has not had an easy life these years."
When Su Yuji heard the name of the Duke of Zhenguo, his expression became even colder. Ming Huazhang stopped talking and said nothing more. After that, neither of them said anything. Ming Huachang ran over quickly and saw them standing on the left and right. Although the distance between them was not far, it seemed as if there was a galaxy between them.
It seems that they should have talked about it, but the result of the conversation does not seem to be optimistic. Ming Huashang seemed not to notice, and ran down vigorously, saying: "Let's go quickly, we have to hurry up and warn the saint before Jingzhao Yin!"
If one day you learn that someone wants to assassinate the emperor, what should you do? Ming Huashang never thought that one day she would actually think about this problem seriously.
Furong Garden is a popular tourist destination. The Flower Festival is approaching, and the Empress is leaving the palace to admire the lanterns. Today, the streets of Chang'an are deserted, and the people are swarming towards Furong Garden. The closer they get to Qujiang Road, the more congested it becomes. In the end, even the horses can't run and can only move among the crowd.
Ming Huashang's riding skills were not very good, so she had to work hard to control the reins to ensure that the horse would not be startled by passers-by. When she was considering whether to get off the horse and walk, her eyes suddenly lit up and she saw a familiar person.
Ming Huashang ignored the crowd around her and immediately yelled at the top of her lungs, "Sister Ren!"
The Yulin Army is the emperor's personal army. Today, they are responsible for clearing the way, protecting, and isolating the people. Ren Yao was arranging the personnel when she vaguely heard calling her. She turned someone around in surprise and saw a young lady waving at her crazily from a distance.
Ming Huashang? Isn't she still recovering from her illness? Why is she here?
Although Ren Yao was surprised, he still let them pass and brought Ming Huashang in. When he got closer, Ren Yao found that not only Ming Huashang, but also Ming Huazhang and even Su Yuji were there.
Ren Yao looked at the three of them and felt that they were strange. Ming Huashang didn't have time to exchange pleasantries. As soon as she came in, she ran to Ren Yao's side and whispered something in his ear.
Ren Yao listened, her eyes gradually widened, and finally her face changed. She glanced at Ming Huazhang and Su Yuji, her expression was uncertain. Ming Huashang nodded at her and said, "Don't be shy, they know about this matter and can be trusted. Sister Ren, today's situation is special, you must not let the news leak out, do you know where the saint is now?"
Ren Yao scanned the crowd outside and his face became serious. It was scary enough that someone was trying to assassinate the Holy Chariot, but what was even more terrifying was that this was not a regular assassination, but an explosion. If it was not handled properly, it would cause panic among the people, or alarm Liao Yushan, forcing him to detonate the gunpowder in advance and die with everyone else. It would likely lead to pushing, trampling, and falling into the water, and the consequences would be disastrous.
Ren Yao immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. She gave up her original task without hesitation and said, "I don't know, but he should know. You guys follow me."
Jiang Ling is known as "Young Master Jiang" by everyone in the Northern Court. Today, he is on duty in the Yulin Army, and he is assigned the most relaxed and respectable position, which is the best place to show off in front of nobles. Jiang Ling looked at the noble ladies and young ladies talking and laughing politely not far away, and felt quite bored.
Ren Yao was maintaining law and order outside Furong Garden, catching people and thieves, how impressive, but he was standing guard here, which was really boring. He was counting the clouds in a daze, when suddenly a familiar voice sounded behind him: "Jiang Ling!"
Jiang Ling was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was hallucinating, and he actually heard the person in his mind talking to him. Ren Yao called him several times but there was no response, so he punched him in the head. Jiang Ling covered the back of his head in pain, good, now he was sure, it was not an illusion.
Jiang Ling turned around and was about to complain, and at this time Ren Yao also came over to talk to him. Inadvertently, Ren Yao's lips brushed the corner of Jiang Ling's mouth, and both of them were stunned.
Jiang Ling's ears suddenly turned red. Ren Yao was a little embarrassed at first, but then she thought that an explosion was about to happen here, so what did it matter whether they were close or not? She immediately threw those thoughts out of her mind, grabbed Jiang Ling's ear and said, "The murderer yesterday was the wrong person. The real perpetrator of the explosion was Jingzhao Yin, and now he wants to assassinate the saint. Control your expression and don't show any abnormality."
Jiang Ling blinked rapidly, then belatedly exclaimed "Ah".
There were so many events that his brain was burned out.
Ren Yao was originally worried that Jiang Ling's reaction would be too big and attract attention, but now it seems that she really overestimated this fool. Ren Yao said unhappily: "Don't just stand there, where is the saint, lead the way!"
Jiang Ling finally came to his senses and knew that this matter could not be taken lightly. He gathered his useless thoughts and said solemnly, "The Saint has taken Duke Heng, Duke Ye, Princess Taiping and others to the Lantern Festival. The King of Wei has prepared a float for the Saint, and the ceremony will begin at 9:00 pm"
Ren Yao glanced at the sun and said hurriedly, "It's almost time for si, let's go!"
Jiang Ling relied on his reputation to get special privileges and passed through unimpeded. But when they reached the lantern tower, they were stopped by the eunuch. The eunuch scanned them and asked with a vigilant look, "Who are you and which master are you following?"
Jiang Ling was about to bring up his father's name, but Ming Huazhang really didn't have the patience to waste time in such a place, so he said coldly: "I am the Shao Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, and I am here to look for Jingzhao Yin."
The Jingzhao Yin was indeed on top of the lantern tower, but the eunuch still looked critical and looked them up and down.
He had seen many people like this. In order to show off in front of the noble, they would dare to establish any relationship. Since Jingzhao Yin did not bring Shao Yin upstairs, it meant that he was not qualified to accompany him. If he let anyone up, what would the noble need them for?
The eunuch said in an ambiguous tone, "Maybe Shao Yin remembered it wrongly. Jing Zhao Yin had already gone upstairs. I don't remember him mentioning that he had a companion."
Ming Huazhang was really when talking to the eunuch. Seeing angry that his face darkened, Ming Huashang quickly grabbed his hand and said with a smile: "You have worked hard, eunuch, but we do have an appointment. We came with the East Palace. If you don't believe me, go ask Xie Sheren who is beside the prince. He knows us."
Ming Huashang smiled and spoke softly, but her expression was calm and she looked very confident. The eunuch glanced at her, and fearing that she had really offended someone, he turned around and went upstairs to ask.
After a while, a young man in blue came down from the building. The eunuch followed him flatteringly and asked, "Master Xie, these are the people. They said they followed you, but somehow got left outside. See..."
Xie Jichuan looked at Ming Huazhang, Ming Huashang and others, his face was flawless, and he smiled gently and said, "Indeed. Your Highness asked them to go get something, but I didn't expect them to be delayed for so long. Thank you, eunuch, for passing on the message."
When the eunuch heard that they were indeed the prince's men, his attitude immediately changed, and he bowed and sent them in. When they reached the corner, Xie Jichuan stopped smiling, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you doing?"
Ming Huazhang had no time to waste time talking to him. He lifted up his coat, jumped up several steps in one step, and ran upstairs at full speed. Ren Yao followed without saying a word, and Ming Huachang fell behind. He kindly explained to Xie Jichuan: "We have all fallen into the trap. Do you remember that after Yan Jingcheng was sent to the charity house, something seemed to be missing from his body? I found it on Zhaocai last night. It was a palm-sized gold plate with the word 'empty' engraved on it."
When Ming Huashang said this, Xie Jichuan remembered that when Yan Jingcheng performed an autopsy, he did find such a gold medal, but it disappeared inexplicably later, so he didn't pay attention to it again. Unexpectedly, it ended up on Zhaocai's body.
This must have been done by the murderer, who was able to touch the corpse after the autopsy and take the things without alerting the charity house guards...
Xie Jichuan's mind worked very quickly, and he connected the dots in a flash. This person could only be Jingzhao Yin. There are many combinations of sun and moon, but if you add the word "empty", there is only one person in the world.
In the first year of Tianshou, the empress ascended the throne and issued an edict to create a new character. The sun and the moon were in the sky, illuminating the world, so it was named Zhao.
Xie Jichuan and Ming Huashang looked at each other. He understood what Ming Huashang had not said, and Ming Huashang knew that he understood. Xie Jichuan glanced at Ming Huazhang who was at the front, and asked in a low voice: "So what should we do now? What are you doing?"
"Save her." Ming Huashang said simply and to the point. She didn't even use the word "rescue" as if in her eyes, the empress was just a concrete person. She held up her skirt and ran up the stairs, saying, "Brother Xie, please stay here and guard the exit. Don't let anyone destroy the retreat passage."
Xie Jichuan raised his head slightly. Light leaked in from the upper floors, like the exit of a time tunnel. They plunged into the light without hesitation, while he was left alone in the darkness.
Xie Jichuan thought, another thing he couldn't understand happened. Why save her? If she died, wouldn't it be a great thing for the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, the Marquis of Jiang'an Mansion, and especially for Ming Huazhang?
Why would someone risk their own life to save the enemy?
Ming Huazhang ran up the stairs first. This building was newly built by the King of Wei to please the Queen. There was a spacious viewing platform on the second floor, which was extremely luxurious and exquisite. At this moment, a gorgeous lantern slowly approached in front of the viewing platform.
The lantern was made to look like the goddess of flowers, and was three stories high. The goddess of flowers had a kind look on her face, and was wearing colorful clothes and jewelry, ready to rise in the wind. In her hand she held a phoenix flower, which was about to bloom shyly. Under her feet, all things came back to life, and all flowers bloomed.
Under the hands of the goddess of flowers, a narrow platform was built, on which a group of dancers wearing ribbons and garlands were dancing. Sometimes they separated, sometimes they joined together, walking on the narrow wooden board as if it were flat ground, their dancing was light and beautiful, just like fairies among flowers.
The empress led many royal relatives to stand in front of the railing, stroking their hands and applauding. Ming Huazhang took a look around and immediately noticed the phoenix flower in the flower god's hand.
The places where the Queen visited had to go through many procedures and repeated inspections. Even a fly could not hide in the building, let alone explosives. However, the floats transported from outside were different. The guards would only search the dancers for weapons, but would not check whether there were any hands or feet in the lights.
Especially since this move was made by the organizer, it could be done without anyone noticing.
The Flower Goddess Lantern and the Lantern Tower were both commissioned by the King of Wei, who had carefully calculated the distance. The place where the dancers danced was slightly lower than the second-floor observation deck, so the Queen could easily see the dance, and the Flower Goddess's hand holding the flower was only slightly higher than the observation deck.
In other words, if this place explodes, the aftermath will undoubtedly reach the observation deck.
And now, the Flower Goddess Lantern has stopped in front of the Queen, and the dancers are waving their slender hands to imitate blooming flowers, and are about to light the lantern.
Ming Huazhang held the hidden weapon between his fingers and threw it towards the Flower God Lamp without hesitation: "Get out of the way! There is explosives in the lamp!"
The lead dancer carefully designed the dance. When the lantern car came in front of the queen, she led the dancers to collectively imitate the flowers and light the phoenix flowers above. At that time, ribbons and petals would fall, which was auspicious and beautiful. The nobles would definitely like it. Who would have thought that when she performed the most proud move, a flying knife suddenly shot out and went straight to her wrist.
The lead dancer was startled and her hands instinctively loosened, causing the lighter to fall downwards, and the flying knife also stuck to her arm and pierced deeply into the lantern behind her.
After this series of events, Ming Huazhang's voice was heard. The dancers were completely stunned, and when they saw the empress, the prince and others being escorted downstairs, they finally realized what had happened and screamed in panic.
The most important thing about the performance is the beauty, no one considers the convenience of the dancers, so the dance partition is floating in the air, and there is no up and down passage. They didn't think it was a big deal during the rehearsal, but now that they have to escape, they realize the despair.
This is really a case of no way to heaven and no door to earth.
After Ming Huazhang stopped the dancer from lighting the fire, he immediately ran towards Liao Yushan. However, since Liao Yushan was ready to die, how could he not have a backup plan? He did not hide at all, but took out a small crossbow from his sleeve and activated it without hesitation.
The specially treated crossbow arrow burned, streaking through the air like a meteor, and accurately shot at the fuse. With a crackling sound, the fuse burned rapidly and sank into the phoenix bud in an instant.
It was too late when Ming Huazhang wanted to stop him. His face was grim and he quickly shouted to Su Yuji beside him, "I'll leave him to you," and ran towards the lantern without looking back.
The fuse had been lit, but fortunately the Phoenix did not explode immediately. Ming Huazhang knew that in order to ensure the power of the bomb, Liao Yushan must have designed other switches inside, and it would take time for these switches to be activated.
No one knew how long the start time would take. Ming Huazhang had no time to hesitate. He immediately pulled out his whip, jumped onto the railing, and threw the dancers to the ground one by one.
They have dancing skills and whips to cushion the impact, so they shouldn't fall too badly. Even if they break an arm or a leg, it's better than being killed by the explosion.
Liao Yushan was completely done pretending and wanted to burn the stairs with a crossbow, but was shot in the shoulder by a dart from Su Yuji. Liao Yushan was indeed a veteran of the Xuanxiao Guards, he even suppressed his instinctive physiological reaction, his hands did not even tremble, and he continued to shoot crossbow arrows.
Su Xingzhi also came along today. He had lost contact with Su Yuji for a long time and was very upset, so he stood in a corner and sulked. It was also because of this that he and Liao Yushan were not far apart.
When he saw Su Yu Ji rushing up the stairs, he thought he was dreaming. Then Ming Hua Zhang gave the warning and Su Yu Ji shot darts. Although Su Xingzhi did not hear what Ming Hua Zhang shouted, he instinctively cooperated with Su Yu Ji, slashed Liao Yu Shan's shoulder with a knife, and knocked Liao Yu Shan's crossbow arrow away from behind.
With this moment of buffer, Su Yuji also caught up. She raised her legs and hit Liao Yushan's abdomen with her knees without mercy, and then she twisted her hands behind her back and pressed him to the ground.
After Ren Yao ran up the stairs, he immediately went to rescue the empress. She shouted "Guard the carriage" loudly while escorting the empress, the crown prince, Princess Taiping and others to retreat. Soon Jiang Ling also came to help. In the chaos, Ren Yao turned around and found that Liao Yushan had been controlled by Su Xingzhi and Su Yuji. Ming Huazhang was saving the dancer on the lantern, and Ming Huashang was maintaining order at the stairs. Everything was in order in chaos.
However, these royal relatives had been pampered for so long that they hurried down the stairs and were slow. If the people in front didn't walk fast enough, the people behind couldn't leave. But Gunpowder wouldn't reason with people. At this speed, at least half of the people wouldn't be able to leave.
Ren Yao quickly glanced at these royal relatives. At the critical moment of life and death, those princesses, princesses, and princesses who were called noble ladies were no better than her. They were all panicked and couldn't even walk properly.
However, she had to save these people because she needed to make a contribution. She needed enough merit to win the favor of being a woman inheriting the Marquis's Mansion.
Ren Yao gritted his teeth, suddenly pushed aside the crowd and went up the stairs, then climbed up the pillar and jumped down. Jiang Ling was startled, and instinctively reached out to pull her but failed. He rushed to the railing and shouted, "Ren Yao, what are you doing?"
However, when he saw the scene below, he was so shocked that his eyes were red with anger: "Ren Yao, you are crazy, come back soon!"
After this series of changes, the downstairs was in chaos. The groom who drove the flower carriage had already run away. The horse pulling the carriage felt the restlessness and snorted nervously. Ren Yao jumped downstairs, jumped onto the horse, and spanked the horse's butt hard.
It looked like she was planning to take the lantern away by herself.
Yes, the explosives were placed in the lanterns. One idea was to make the nobles escape from the lanterns, and another idea was to pull the lanterns away from the nobles.
Even Ming Huazhang was shocked by this sudden change. However, Ren Yao rode away without hesitation. All the dancers on the lanterns had been sent off by Ming Huazhang, or thrown off. Only the lantern stand was left on the carriage, which was not very heavy. The magnificent and extraordinary flower god lantern swayed and soon flew away.
Before Ming Huazhang could react, another shadow jumped down from his peripheral vision. Jiang Ling's legs and feet were never so nimble. He grabbed someone else's horse, whipped it hard on the horse's butt, and chased after Ren Yao without caring.
Just as Marquis Jiang An was escorting Princess Taiping to the ground, he saw Jiang Ling's back, his eyelids twitched violently, and he shouted angrily: "Rebellious son, what are you crazy about? Come back quickly!"
Ming Huazhang glanced around and saw Ren Yao pulling away the explosives. It seemed that the upper floors no longer needed to be evacuated. He also jumped downstairs neatly and shouted to the remaining companions: "Protect the people here and don't let anyone take advantage of the opportunity."
He didn't care if anyone else heard him or not, he jumped onto the horse and flew away like a flash of light. He caught up with Ren Yao's carriage and said, "There is a lake not far away. As long as you get to the lake and immediately cut the carriage in half, and then drive the horse back, you can avoid the explosion. Can you do it? If not, jump off and I'll take over."
Ren Yao laughed disdainfully. Her features were handsome, and her eyes were gleaming with determination. She was aggressive and arrogant, and it was hard to look at her. She said loudly, "I am the best in riding. Who says I can't do it? Get out of the way. Don't block my way."
Ming Huazhang also laughed. He felt happy at such a dangerous moment. Ming Huazhang pulled the reins away from the carriage and ran ahead to clear the way for Ren Yao: "Okay, then I will escort you."
Jiang Ling rode on the other side, constantly looking at Huadeng and Ren Yao. The flower god was high above, swaying as if he was about to fall, as if he was about to take off with the wind. His heart began to beat rapidly, and he had a premonition that the gunpowder was about to explode.
The rope that tied the cart was so thick that if she hadn't cut it in time, she would have been dragged into the lake or been by the gunpowder. Jiang Ling suddenly released the reins without warning and jumped onto the cart. Ren Yao felt a weight behind him, turned around and saw that it was him, and said angrily: "What are you doing? Get off!"
Jiang Ling cut the hemp rope vigorously, not caring about the blood on his hands. He lived a life of luxury in the mansion, and before he met Ren Yuan, the heaviest thing his hands had ever held was a teacup. He once thought that life should be enjoyed to the fullest, and nothing is more important than living happily, but after meeting her, he realized that there are such people in the world who can give up all happiness for their goals.
To this day, he still doesn't understand her actions. Why would she risk her life to achieve merit? Are the three words "Marquis of Pingnan" really that important?
He didn't understand, but he wanted to make her happy. If she could only be happy if she got this title, then he was willing to help her achieve it.
Seeing that Qujiang Lake was just ahead, Jiang Ling cut one side of the rope, held the other side, and shouted without raising his head: "Ren Yao, didn't you eat? Don't slow down, run forward!"
Ren Yao gritted his teeth, shouted loudly, and drove his horse at full speed towards the lake. Ren Yao felt the side loosen up, and the horse realized that it had broken free and rushed forward excitedly. At this time, a pair of hands behind him firmly grabbed the broken rope and used his flesh and blood to forcibly hold the cart and horse.
Ming Huazhang was leading the way. He noticed the situation and said, "Ren Yao, pull Jiang Ling along when you turn back. Jiang Ling, when you see the opportunity, jump onto Ren Yao's horse."
Jiang Ling was like a savior being tortured, being firmly pinned between the cracks, unable to speak. Ren Yao's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, so fast that she could hardly hold the reins tightly.
She wasn't afraid when she jumped down just now, and she wasn't afraid when she drove the explosives towards the lake, but now she was afraid. She was afraid that she would be a step slower and couldn't hold Jiang Ling, that the explosives would explode prematurely and Jiang Ling would be the first person to be hit, and she was even more afraid that her ambition would kill him.
He has been rich and prosperous since he was a child. He doesn't need to do anything because he has a title waiting for him at home. He should be a happy playboy forever, so why does he have to do these things?
The bright sunlight reflected from Qujiang Lake made her want to cry. Ming Huazhang had slowed down and waited on the shore. The moment the horse's hooves stepped into the lake, Ming Huazhang suddenly said, "Retreat!"
Ren Yao immediately tightened the reins, the horse raised its front hooves and neighed, Ren Yao only relied on her legs to hold the horse's belly, turned around and pulled Jiang Ling. Jiang Ling also stood up at this time and held her hand tightly.
Jiang Ling used the momentum to jump onto Ren Yao's horse. Ren Yao rode his horse and jumped left and right in the chaos. Miraculously, he jumped over the float and rushed to the shore. The lantern carriage behind him rushed straight into the water. The flower god lantern was already shaking in the bumps and was about to fall. Now it was hit by the water.
Ming Huazhang and Ren Yao were the two riders, and they did not dare to hold back any strength, and they ran forward with all their strength. A loud bang came from behind, and the wind and water rushed towards them with the force of thunder. Jiang Ling hugged Ren Yao tightly from behind, and Ren Yao did not dare to look back, and rushed forward desperately.
After an unknown amount of time, maybe a lifetime, or maybe just a moment, Ren Yao was finally able to hear the sound again. Ming Huazhang was half a horse's length ahead of Ren Yao and was the first to rein in his horse. He patted the water off his body and said, "Fortunately I made it in time. Are you all right?"
Ren Yao still had the buzzing sound in her ears. She shook her head blankly, then suddenly realized something and turned around quickly: "Jiang Ling, Jiang Ling?"
Jiang Ling leaned on her shoulder, completely unresponsive. Ren Yao called him several times, but he didn't move. Her face turned pale. At this time, the person on her shoulder suddenly opened one eye and said in a sly voice: "Hey, you're scared!"
Ren Yao felt her heart beating again, and she looked at Jiang Ling again, completely furious. Jiang Ling saw that the situation was not right, and quickly jumped off his horse, yelling: "Help! The imperial officials are being beaten!"
He yelled and rushed towards Ming Huazhang, who was wiping the water off his body with a handkerchief. Jiang Ling grabbed him and pushed him away with disgust, saying, "You are all wet, don't touch me."
When Ming Huachang ran to Qujiang Pond, panting, he saw Ren Yao chasing Jiang Ling and beating him. Jiang Ling screamed and circled around Ming Huachang. Ming Huachang was trapped between them, and every pore of his body revealed disgust.
Ming Huachang heaved a sigh of relief, and then squatted down, holding her abdomen in pain. Ming Huazhang saw this, and immediately left Jiang Ling and hurried towards her.
"Shang Shang, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." Ming Huashang waved his hands weakly and said, "I ran too fast just now and got a stitch in the side."
