Chapter 49: Shocking Horses
The urchin boy from nowhere threw a lit cannonball at the foot of a horse pulling a luxuriously shaped carriage.
The cannon exploded at his feet with a "bang", and the horses were frightened, and immediately galloped wildly, and under the city gate in front of them, a caravan leading camels into the city was being inspected.
Frightened horses and wagons rampaged through the streets, screaming and fleeing in all directions.
The coachman yelled anxiously, "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" ”
The noble lady in the carriage and the maid who accompanied her were already so frightened that their faces were pale, and their bodies were swayed left and right by the bumpy carriage, and their heads hit the carriage several times, and they almost fainted.
This shocking change naturally attracted Wen Shu's attention a long time ago, and at this moment she was clasping the doors and windows with both hands, poking her head out of the curtain, and staring closely at the carriage rushing in front of her.
Lu Xi, who was driving the cart in front, held the reins and tried his best to bring the horse's head to the right, so as to miss the horse with the startled, but the horse pulling the cart didn't know whether it was frightened or out of instinct, so the horse's head kept twisting in the opposite direction.
Seeing the frightened horse rushing towards him, Lu Xi's face turned pale, and his anxious sweat was about to come out.
Wen Shu also looked sweaty, but she neither knew how to train horses nor drive, seeing that the horses were out of control, and the startled horses in front of her were about to rush over.......
Critical moments! She made a decision immediately, loosened the door frame with both hands, rushed forward, and rolled to the ground with Lu Xi in her arms from behind!
Out of control, the horse instinctively ran to the left, and narrowly brushed past the startled horse!
At the same moment, the luxurious carriage also collided violently, and the wall behind the carriage fell off, and a woman with a beaded head rolled off from it.
"Madame! Madam! Several exclamations rang out.
The frightened horses continued to run forward, and the soldiers guarding the gate came up one by one with their guns as if they were facing a great enemy, ready to slaughter the horses on the spot.
"Steward Lu is okay, right?" At this end, Wen Shu, who had fallen to the ground, got up from the ground and pulled Lu Xi by the way.
Lu Xi obviously hadn't reacted from the sudden fall of the horse, and was about to answer, when he heard a child's scream in front of him.
"Grandpa!"
Wen Shu heard the sound and looked, and saw the startled horse rushing towards the city gate, and turned around and rushed back at a distance of one zhang from the city gate, and at some point rushed out of the street An old man who was over the age of six, and the target was to knock over a vegetable basket in the middle of the road.
His grandson, who was standing in the crowd, saw this scene and ran out screaming, intending to protect the old man.
It's just that the speed of the horse is too fast, and the old man is obviously inconvenient in his legs and feet, seeing that the old and the young are about to die under the horse's hooves, Wen Shu didn't have time to think about anything, so he subconsciously rushed up.
At the same time, a man and a horse rushed from the direction of the city gate.....
A long dark purple shadow rose into the sky, a few flips and movements, his legs straddled and sat firmly on the back of the startled horse, he reached out and slashed at the horse's head a few times, the horse neighed, and the front hooves were raised high.........
1,000 evenly shots! In front of the horse, Wen Shu scooped up the grandfather and grandson and rushed to the side of the road!
The horse's hooves fell and continued to run forward, but before he had gone two steps, he was crooked, and he lay on the ground foaming at the mouth, and even the carriage with the back of the horse rolled on its side, and the coachman jumped out of the car when he turned around.
In the chaos, Wen Shu struggled to get up from the ground, and at the same time helped his inconvenient old man and his eight-year-old grandson up.
"Uncle, are you okay?"
"It's okay, thank you little lady, thank you little lady." The old man came back to his senses and was full of fear, and he regretted Fang Cai's impulse, if it weren't for the little lady in front of him, their grandson would really be buried under the horse.
Wen Shu waved his hand to look at the street, the startled horse fell in the middle of the road at this time, someone in the carriage on the side trembled and squirmed out, Lu Yuancheng was ordering the soldiers guarding the city to drag people out, and Lu Xi had already run to the city gate to lead his escaped carriage and horse.
Seeing that there was no need for his own help, Wen Shu turned his gaze to the other end, three feet away from the place where the frightened horse overturned, a woman lying on the ground with a head full of pearls and emerald and brocade clothes was lying on the ground unconsciously, not knowing whether she was dead or fainted, and the people around had not yet recovered from the fright, and no one came forward to watch or ask.
Wen Shu trotted forward and touched the side of the woman's neck, feeling that there was still a pulse beating, and breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Lu Xi had already led the carriage in the distance, and was helping the soldiers defending the city to help the wounded get into the car, he shouted: "My lord, there is another one here." ”
Lu Yuancheng watched them help the last maid ring into the carriage, and then turned to her with his footsteps, and when he got closer, after seeing the sleeping man's face clearly, he couldn't help frowning: "Mrs. Qin? ”
He glanced at Wen Shu.
Wen Shu hurriedly waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with me, she fell off the carriage by herself." ”
Lu Yuancheng glanced at her speechlessly, and shouted backwards: "Lu Xi, bring the horse over." “
As he spoke, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in front of him, and after a while, a column of uniforms ran over, led by a bearded man thirty miles away, who was the military patrol envoy in charge of the security of the capital.
Looking at the chaos on the street, and then looking at the carriage that fell to the ground, the beard felt a sigh in his heart, looking at the shape of the carriage, I was afraid that the people in the carriage were not small.
Just as he was in shock, he saw a man and a woman squatting on the ground in front of him, the man stood up, turned to him and said: "Inspector Wang, Mrs. Qin fell off her horse and fainted, we will send it to the hospital nearby, and the Prime Minister's Mansion hopes that you will send someone to inform you." ”
"Lord Lu!"
The Military Patrol Court is in charge of the security of the capital and the criminal and prison proceedings of temporary cases, and there is an intersection with Dali Temple from time to time, and Wang Xun's envoy naturally recognizes the second-in-command of Dali Temple.
Hearing him talk about the Prime Minister's Mansion, he also called the noble lady on the ground Mrs. Qin, and immediately understood that this was the wife of the new Prime Minister of Qin.
Shocked, he nodded hurriedly, and ordered his subordinates to go to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion to report.
Mrs. Qin is a female dependant and the mother of a house, and Lu Yuancheng is not easy to touch as a man, so the task of holding people into the car naturally fell on Wen Shu's head.
Lu Xi led the carriage over, and looked at the three people who had fainted in the carriage and were lying on their backs: "Childe, the carriage is too small, and it is already the limit to fit three people, this Mrs. Qin..." he shook his head.
What Lu Xi said was the truth, the car he picked up and dropped off Wen Shu was just an ordinary Qingbu carriage, not a big carriage for the ladies of the Hou Mansion to travel, not to mention the three people who were lying in a daze now, even if they were all awake and sitting upright, this carriage could not fit four people.
Hearing this, Wen Shu turned his head and said, "I remember that there is a medical hall at the corner of the street in front of me, and it is not far away anyway, so it is better for me to carry this lady directly." ”
Inspector Wang just wanted to say that with your little arms and legs, how could you carry Mrs. Qin, it is better to find a strong woman on the street, or ask a few more women to help carry it.
It's just that before he opened his mouth, he saw that Lu Shaoqing nodded: "It's okay, then you can go here, if you can really save Mrs. Qin's life, you will have your own benefits." ”
Wen Shu glanced at him, and said in her heart that although she loves money, she is not so indiscriminate, she is going to die now, how can she have time to worry about this.
