With crisp jingling sounds, this kind of carriage can only be used by the master of the palace.
Xu Wang has not returned from the war outside, so the people in this carriage are only...
Gan Lin didn't think much about it, he whipped the horse's buttocks fiercely with the whip in his hand, and rushed towards the carriage.
At this moment, hundreds of people are shouting loudly: "Demon girl, get out and die!"
Looking at the crumbling carriage in the crowd, Gan Lin was extremely worried, and couldn't help shouting loudly: "Stop! She's not a witch, she's not!"
But his voice was immediately drowned in the angry cries of the crowd, and even he himself couldn't hear it.
The crowded crowd pushed each other, and his mount couldn't squeeze in at all. Gan Lin pushed away and held the hand of his entourage, and squeezed towards the carriage.
Linglong, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!
He didn't know where his strength came from, but he just tried his best to push away the bustling crowd around him, and got in through the crowd. During the struggle, the jade crown on his head fell down, was trampled to pieces by the crowd, and his brocade robe was torn to pieces. It was a mess, with sweat and dust all over his body, but he really squeezed into the crowd and reached the side of the carriage.
Trying to push away the countless hands stretching towards the carriage, Gan Lin climbed onto the carriage and shouted out of breath, "Stop!"
No one listened to him, his voice disappeared like water droplets into the sea amidst hundreds of angry cries, and could not be heard at all.
Gan Lin was alone and couldn't deal with these angry people at all. He was thinking about Yu Linglong, so he didn't think much about it, so he opened the curtain of the car.
"Linglong, are you alright?"
Sitting in the carriage, Yu Linglong frowned slightly when she saw his distressed look: "Why are you here?"
Gan Lin said anxiously, "I'll save you!"
Yu Linglong's pretty face darkened, save her? This kid is really beyond his control.
At this moment, seeing Gan Lin climbed into the carriage, the situation outside suddenly changed.
Most of these people are ordinary people, and there is no leader. Facing Yu Linglong's carriage, they just vented their anger by pushing and yelling, but did not take any further actions. After getting into the carriage and raising the curtain, revealing the true face of the so-called demon girl inside, everyone's anger finally reached a critical point.
Immediately, someone followed Gan Lin's example and climbed up to the carriage, reaching out to grab Yu Linglong, and yelling: "Demon girl, you ruined my family, I will kill you!"
Gan Lin turned pale in shock, quickly reached out to touch the man's hand, and shouted: "You misunderstood! She is not a witch, she is—"
Ling'er obviously doesn't have as much patience as Gan Lin, and she still has the heart to explain to people blinded by hatred that she has only one purpose, that is: whoever dares to hurt the princess will die!
Seeing Linger pull out the dagger in her hand, Yu Linglong immediately stretched out her hand to hold her hand.
Ling'er turned her head, her face was puzzled and surprised: "Princess!?"
Everyone has rushed into the carriage, isn't the princess still willing to do it? This is not the style of the princess at all!
Yu Linglong kicked the man who had climbed into the carriage lightly and deftly, and said in a deep voice, "Do you want me and the lord to be charged with this inhumane crime of killing innocent people!?"
Hearing these words, Ling'er was enlightened, and immediately understood Yu Linglong's intentions.
Yu Linglong has never been a person who is good at forbearance, but in the face of so many people's misunderstandings and such a dangerous situation today, she has been holding back and not doing anything, not because she is timid, but because of her identity It's Princess Xu.
In this sensitive period right now, if Yu Linglong makes a move, even if it only hurts a commoner, it will have a huge impact on King Xu. The hearts of the people were completely disintegrated.
You don't need to think about it to know that the mastermind behind this matter is very likely to be the crown prince. Only he can count people's hearts so carefully. He knew that with Yu Linglong's temper, he would definitely not let the common people bully him, so he gathered countless people and surrounded Yu Linglong as Yu Linglong was a demon girl. The exquisite carriage provoked trouble. In this way, Yu Linglong can't bear to resist and then the prince can use the excuse of Princess Xu's violent beating of common people to tarnish King Xu's reputation.
This is a battle for the hearts and minds of the people. The people who are excited are like a large grassland covered with weeds. It only takes a little spark to ignite a raging fire.
Whoever provokes this spark will fail.
Therefore, Yu Linglong chose silence and patience.
After fighting with the prince for so long, Yu Linglong has already figured out the prince's routine, and it is precisely because of this that she cannot be fooled.
It is not easy to hold back one's temper, especially for someone like Yu Linglong, but forbearance is also a means of attack.
Understanding Yu Linglong's intentions, Ling'er couldn't help but clenched the dagger in her hand. She looked at more and more people rushing up from outside, and she couldn't help but feel anxious in her voice: "Princess, do we just have to wait like this?" ?”
Yu Linglong's eyes darkened, and she responded to Ling'er's words with actions.
With a sudden kick, Gan Lin was kicked off the carriage and fell on the crowd closest to them. People subconsciously dodged Gan Lin's body falling from the sky, and the crowded crowd finally loosened a little.
Yu Linglong seized the opportunity, snatched the short sword from Linger's hand, and stabbed it fiercely on the horse's hip.
The horse pulling the cart was caught off guard, and after suffering such a heavy blow, it immediately stood up in pain and let out a long and miserable hiss.
The frightened horse suddenly exerted its strength and rushed out into the crowd. The crowd couldn't avoid it, and was knocked back and forth, and was rushed out of the way by the horse.
Before people could react, the horse had already rushed out of the crowd and galloped towards the street.
How could a person's feet catch up to a frightened horse? Seeing the carriage gallop away, people didn't react for a while.
It wasn't until Yu Linglong's carriage disappeared across the street that people came back to their senses and became even more annoyed.
There were so many people surrounding the two women, yet they escaped!
I don't know who shouted: "Report to the authorities! Let the authorities catch the demon girl!"
One sentence reminded everyone, and everyone immediately shouted: "Yes! Report to the official, report to the official!"
Gan Lin got up from the ground in embarrassment, but when he heard such words, he saw the crowd walking towards Jingzhao Yin's Yamen in unison, and he felt relieved just now when he saw Yu Linglong escaped the dangerous situation, and he suddenly raised his heart again.
Looking at the crowd in the distance, Gan Lin stomped his feet fiercely, and ordered his attendants who had finally found him: "Go and find Dad—"
He had only said three words before he suddenly stopped. Because of the prince's rebellion, those close to the prince were ordered to confine their feet, and Taifu Gan was also under house arrest at home, unable to do anything at all.
Gan Lin gritted his teeth, turned back and got on the horse.
The entourage quickly followed up: "Young Master, where are we going?"
Gan Lin clamped the horse's belly and said, "Enter the palace! I'm going to beg my aunt!"
Taifu Gan couldn't see the emperor, but the empress was in the palace. Even though she knew that the empress was also implicated in the prince's affairs, Gan Lin really didn't know who to ask besides the empress.
He can't just watch Yu Linglong being in danger, he has to do his best to protect her!
…
The carriage rushed out of the crowd and ran out of the city quickly. Yu Linglong and Ling'er had to try their best to hold on to the wooden frame of the carriage in order to barely maintain their balance and not be thrown off by the rushing carriage.
I don't know how long it took before the exhausted horse fell to the ground, panting heavily, and was too tired to stand up.
The carriage finally stopped. This place is already far away from the capital, surrounded by dense forests, and the situation outside cannot be seen.
Ling'er hurriedly got out of the car, and reached out to help Yu Linglong: "Princess, you come down first—"
Before the words were finished, a whistle suddenly sounded in the woods, and immediately after that, countless rustling sounds suddenly sounded from the bushes that were still silent just now, approaching them quickly.
Yu Linglong was startled, the hand that had just been placed in Linger's hand tightened immediately, and she pulled Linger back into the carriage. She raised her head and looked around, only to see countless figures flashing among the thick leaves, who were encircling approach to them.
dangerous!
Yu Linglong looked down at the foaming horse, reached out with her bare hand, and pulled out the bloody dagger on the horse's hip, the horse twitched in pain, subconsciously trying to get up .
Before the horse stood up from the ground, a long arrow flew out from the bushes and shot straight into the horse's head. The seriously injured horse fell to the ground without even grunting. up.
Yu Linglong's heart tightened, the enemy actually has archers!
She immediately pulled Ling'er into the carriage, and just after the curtain was lowered, another arrow cluster followed. It was nailed to the shaft where they were standing just now, and the tail of the arrow trembled slightly, which made people unable to bear watching shudder.
This is the wilderness, and the horse pulling the cart died again. There were only two of them, but they were surrounded.
Although Ling'er was very skilled, she still turned pale with fright at the situation in front of her. Without saying a word, Yu Linglong set up the small table in the carriage, blocked the door, and pulled Ling'er to sit in the middle of the carriage. place, as far away from the wall as possible.
She had just finished arranging when she heard the sound of arrows being released one after another from all around.
