The martial law in Jianye Capital has not been lifted. At dusk, the streets and alleys of the capital will become deserted. However, it is now noon, so pedestrians on the streets are still coming and going, and the traffic is busy, which is quite lively.
The crown covers the capital.
Yang Ning was riding a horse on the long street beside the Qinhuai River. Riding a horse was a fashion in the capital. Not only the princes and princes liked to decorate their horses beautifully, but also some literati. Riding horses through the streets is a fashion in the city of Ye.
The literati rode by on horseback, all smiling and looking up unconsciously. They did not need to look to the side or down, because the people there wanted to look up to them.
They only look at the colorful pavilions and the pink and green mountains in the red pavilion and pink pavilion.
Talented men and beauties are inherently good stories. They pretend to be elegant and roam around the Qinhuai River, don't they just hope to create a good story
The Qinhuai River is full of painted boats, and from time to time I see a noble and elegant man walking out of the cabin and standing on the bow of the boat, followed by a few people, looking like he is guiding the country.
This is a landscape that can be seen every day on the Qinhuai River.
This was the first time for Yang Ning to pass by the Qinhuai River seriously. It was still early, so he was not in a hurry. Yuan Rong followed Yang Ning on horseback, but he was a little confused. He didn't know that Yang Ning was going to take him with him. Where to go.
When Yang Ning left the house, it was naturally difficult for Duan Canghai to stop him. However, the prince had been in danger these days. He wanted to personally escort and follow him. Yang Ning knew that Duan Canghai, Qi Feng and others were working very hard these days, so he only Duan Canghai was asked to find two random guards in the mansion to follow him.
After passing the Confucius Temple, Yang Ning turned onto a long street. This street was very different from the bustling streets along the Qinhuai River. As soon as he turned into the street, bursts of floral fragrance wafted over. As he looked around, he saw red flowers and green leaves. , colorful, there are many flower shops on both sides of the street, but it is a flower market.
Yang Ning was surprised. It was already October, but he didn't expect that there was still a flower market running. He actually didn't know much about flowers. As he rode by, the fragrance of flowers filled his nostrils, and he saw all kinds of exotic flowers and plants. Many varieties were really unprecedented. I haven’t seen them yet, but I thought that they can still bloom and release leaves during this month. These flowers and plants must not be cheap.
However, the climate in the south is pleasant, and even in the golden autumn of October, the weather is still warm.
Yuan Rong suddenly understood something and said with a smile: "We've been making trouble for a long time, brother, are you going to take me to the Marquis' Mansion in Wuxiang? Haha, I haven't seen your brother-in-law for some time. We just happened to go and meet him today. he."
"Brother-in-law?" Yang Ning was startled and turned to look at Yuan Rong, but did not ask.
He knew that his current behavior was very different from that of the former prince. He could not know some of his connections, but he could not ask them frequently, otherwise it would inevitably make people suspicious.
Just when he turned his head, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure not far away. There were many people coming and going in the flower market, but most of them were women. The figure was tall and very conspicuous in the crowd. Yang Ning saw it at a glance and felt in his heart. The next moment, he recognized at a glance that the man was the gray-robed elder who was pretending to be an eunuch last time.
Yang Ning saw this man twice. The first time he looked like a rather elegant elder, but the second time he was disguised as a eunuch. This time he was wearing a gray robe and a long beard.
"Why is this guy here?" Yang Ning became alert and dismounted. The gray-robed elder obviously didn't pay attention to Yang Ning and passed through the crowd.
The identity of this old guy is uncertain, but Yang Ning is sure that the beard on his mouth must be glued on. Otherwise, he saw that he has no beard a few days ago, and there is no way it will grow out in just a few days.
He couldn't help chasing after him and squeezing his way through the crowd. Yuan Rong didn't know why and shouted: "Brother Ning, where are you going?"
Yang Ning saw the gray-robed elder not far in front of him, and quickened his pace. Suddenly, he heard an "ouch!" as he passed by a flower shop and bumped into someone. The voice was quite delicate, and it seemed to be a woman. Yang Ning didn't care to apologize for the moment, and took a few steps forward, only to see that the gray-robed elder had disappeared among the crowd.
He stopped and looked around blankly. People were coming and going, but there was no trace of the gray-robed elder.
Yang Ning frowned. At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hoofbeats, and a sound of horse hoofbeats as tight as a drum came from the other end of the long street.
Yang Ning frowned, thinking to herself that this was a long market street, with people coming and going. Although she was riding a horse, she was only walking slowly, but now the sound of horse hooves was as fast as raindrops. Could it be that it would trample people to death
As expected, pedestrians on the long street were seen ducking out of the way, and some people couldn't dodge and flew aside, shouting.
A few horses galloped over from across the long street, their horses hooves were rushing, and when they saw the people on the long street flipping over their horses, they didn't show any sign of slowing down. Yang Ning frowned, and was about to get out of the way, but suddenly his heart sank, but he found something in the middle of the street. , there was a child of seven or eight years old squatting on the ground playing with a clay figurine. There was no adult around him. The child grabbed a clay figurine with one hand and was playing happily, completely unaware of the danger.
Those horses were galloping, apparently unaware that the child was squatting in the middle of the street. Someone nearby had noticed this scene and screamed.
At this time, Yang Ning had already rushed over like an arrow from a string.
Yang Ning was very fast, but those horses were just a few feet away from the child. With Yang Ning's current speed, if he threw himself in front of the child, if the horses could not restrain him in time, he would probably He was knocked away together with the child.
But he didn't hesitate at all.
He knew that at this moment, the only one who could save the child was himself. If he tried hard, there was still hope, otherwise the child would be trampled under the feet of the horse and there would be no way to survive.
Amidst the screams and screams, many people turned their heads and couldn't bear to look at the thrilling scene.
The horses were good horses, as fast as lightning. I could see that the horse in front was only a few feet away from the child, and Yang Ning was also only a few feet away from the child.
Same distance, but different speed.
The speed of the horse was certainly not comparable to Yang Ning's. He felt a chill in his heart. In desperation, he could only concentrate all his strength on his legs. Seeing that he was about to take a step slower, Yang Ning roared. , that is, at this moment, I actually found that the strength in my chest poured down like a torrent, pouring into my breasts.
The moment power poured into his legs, Yang Ning kicked off his legs. Like a cheetah, he grabbed the horse's head, grabbed the child's arm, pulled it into his arms and rolled to the side.
The horse neighed, raised its front hooves, stood up, and then fell down. It was stepping on the spot where the child was just now. If Yang Ning had missed it by one point, the child would have died under the horse's hooves at this moment.
"boom!"
While Yang Ning was rolling, she couldn't catch up and bumped into the flower bed of a flower shop in front of the door. She felt a pain all over her body. Fortunately, she stopped the momentum at this time and raised her hands to hold the child in the air.
"Ah...!" There was a scream, and a woman had already grabbed her and said in a crying voice: "Ding'er, Ding'er, how are you...?"
Yang Ning felt a cold sweat break out all over her body. When she heard the woman crying, she turned around and saw that she was a woman under thirty. She looked like she was a member of a rich family. She knew that this child must be related to her. Passing the child over, he forced a smile and said: "He... he should be fine, don't worry...!"
The woman hugged the child and checked up and down. She was relieved when she saw that the child was safe and sound. When she saw Yang Ning sitting up, she hurriedly said: "My dear, thank you... Thank you for saving my Ding'er... What a kindness." Virtue, I will definitely repay you...!" He said anxiously: "My benefactor, you... you are bleeding." Without caring about anything else, he took out an embroidered handkerchief and handed it to Yang Ning, "Quick, wipe it first, and I'll treat it to you. Doctor...!"
Only then did Yang Ning feel blood flowing on his forehead, and a burning pain. He knew that it was just a flesh injury caused by hitting the flower bed, so he refused to pick up the embroidered handkerchief, shook his head and smiled: "It doesn't matter...!" He wanted to get up, then I found that my legs, which were full of strength just now, were now sore and weak, and it was difficult to get up for a while.
"Good brother...!" Yuan Rong rushed over with a look of horror on his face, "You... are you okay?"
Yang Ning raised her hand and wiped the blood on her forehead with her sleeve, and shook her head. Her legs were weak and weak, which frightened Yang Ning.
Just at the critical moment, he felt something. His legs suddenly became strong, as if the energy from his Dantian was transferred into his legs in desperation.
If it hadn't been for the influx of strength, he would never have had the strength to save the child before the horse.
But at this moment, the power disappeared and the body was gone, and his legs were a little numb and cramped. Duan Canghai had warned him before that he must not mobilize his strength easily. This time, he had no choice but to do it, but he didn't know if it was harmful to himself. body caused harm.
“I, Mr. Ge, still have some abilities!”
A voice came over, it was not the official dialect of the capital, and the tone was quite arrogant. Yang Ning's face darkened, and he looked up, only to see a tall and majestic horse not far in front of him. On top of the horse, there was a person condescendingly speaking. Looking at Yang Ning, the sun shone slantly on the rider, dragging out a long shadow on Yang Ning's body.
Several fast horses have also followed.
Several people were dressed in dark green clothes, but with white cloths wrapped around their heads and scimitars at their waists. Although they did not look tall and powerful, each of them had shining eyes. An expert could tell at a glance that they were practicing martial arts. It's definitely not low.
These people are obviously well-trained. At this time, they are holding the horse's reins with one hand and pressing the handle of the scimitar with the other hand. They are all staring at Yang Ning. Their eyes are like knives. It seems that Yang Ning is responsible for the trouble. By.
