Chapter 15: Feng Shuwan's Crisis
Imperial capital.
Changping Street.
This is the most prosperous place in the entire capital. The streets are lined with businesses and pedestrians.
It was close to noon, and the spring sun was very pleasant.
In the crowd, three people stood out in particular.
At the head was a young man with a jade crown and hair, dressed in an inky moire robe, and holding a folding fan.
Beside him was a woman, who wore a white gauze hat to cover her face, a royal blue dress and a white veil, and walked with a gentle temperament.
And behind the two, there was also a little girl wearing a double flat bun, wearing a pale pink dress, and walking and jumping.
"Xiaoyu, there are a lot of people on the street, you can stop for a while and walk well." Feng Shuwan turned around and said to the little girl behind her.
Xiao Yu's mouth deflated when she heard this, and she walked obediently.
Wei Zhuang smiled at Feng Shuwan and said, "You and Xiaoyu finally came out for a trip, and if she is happy, let her have a good time." It's you, Shuwan, the weather is so good, you still wear a veil, aren't you stuffy? ”
Feng Shuwan shook her head: "Now that I am identified, it is better to cover my face when I come out." ”
Wei Zhuang looked at her and felt a little funny, so he teased her: "You always said that you wanted to come to the people to hang out, why did you pay attention to your identity and put up a shelf when you came out now?" ”
Feng Shuwan's face was slightly red when she heard this, and she replied angrily: "I'm not as noble as you, how can I put on a shelf, wearing a veil is not to protect your face." ”
According to the rules of this era, the aristocratic women in the palace are not allowed to come out at will, and even if they are allowed to come out, they will all sit in a sedan chair, anyway, they will try their best to hide their faces for the sake of the royal face.
However, Wei Zhuang, a new youth in the 21st century, obviously didn't care much about this kind of feudal rules.
"So be it." Wei Zhuang chose to follow Feng Shuwan's wishes.
Who knew that Feng Shuwan was unhappy in her heart: "Hmph, I won't wear it anymore." As he spoke, he took off his veil.
The veil was removed, and Feng Shuwan's delicate face was even more perfect in the sun. And the people around him, regardless of men, women, and children, instantly cast the eyes of more than a dozen people to this side, and everyone was shocked by this peerless face.
Feng Shuwan immediately panicked when she saw so many people looking at her, and put on her veil again with a blushing face. The people around them also withdrew their gazes in disbelief. This also made Wei Zhuang laugh, and at the same time, he felt a burst of pride in his heart, thinking that if this was in modern times, Feng Shuwan would definitely be at the level of a big star.
The three of them talked and laughed like this, and walked forward.
They were discussing their next trip when they suddenly heard a commotion behind them.
"Get out of the way!"
A loud shout exploded in the street, followed by the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground.
As soon as Wei Zhuang turned around, he saw that the crowd was panicked, pushing and shoving each other like a tide to spread out to the surroundings, and some people didn't even bother to get up when they were pushed to the ground, crawling to the side of the road with their heads in their hands, and the screams were endless for a while.
Seeing that the crowd was about to rush here, Feng Shuwan and Xiaoyu were also a little overwhelmed, Wei Zhuang's heart sank, and he immediately protected the two of them and hid on the side of the road.
In this way, the originally crowded street was torn apart, and then more than a dozen carriages rushed in a row. The driver at the front was still yelling at passers-by.
……
"It's really dangerous, fortunately, Lao Tzu hid quickly."
"Who's to say it isn't, it's over if you almost get bumped into!"
"These people, lawless!"
The people around him scolded in a low voice, and there was anger in their eyes. Wei Zhuang's face sank, listening to the words of the people around him, it was obvious that this was not the first time this situation had happened.
The imperial capital is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and these people who can be so lawless here must not be ordinary people.
Wei Zhuang was thinking about whether to teach them a lesson, but there was a neighing of a horse in his ears.
"Oh, hide, the horse is scared!"
One of the horses at the back of the train was touched by something around him, and suddenly his hooves left the ground and let out a neigh, and then he shook his head and rushed along the border of the crowd.
Wei Zhuang pulled Feng Shuwan and Xiaoyu to follow the crowd back, but the two women were wearing long skirts and it was inconvenient to move, and as soon as the crowd retreated, the three of them actually went to the front row, but fortunately, everyone retreated far enough to be separated from the carriage by some distance.
However, just as the carriage was about to whizz past with dust, the groom in the carriage panicked and pulled the reins hard. At this pull, the startled horse instantly raised its front hooves high.
And under the horse's hooves, it is Feng Shuwan!
Feng Shuwan only felt a cool breeze in front of her, and the huge figure of the horse covered the sky and the sun. All the thoughts in her mind were to dodge, but just as she was about to move, she felt that her feet were weak and she couldn't move, so she subconsciously closed her eyes.
Several people shouted at Feng Shuwan.
"Get out of the way, girl!"
"I'm scared, this girl is scared!"
"It's over, it's over, it's over......"
"Miss, come here!" Xiaoyu anxiously wanted to reach out to pull her, but it was too late.
Feng Shuwan's heart trembled, and a cold feeling spread all over her body in an instant.
It's over, it's really over! Have you just made up your mind to face a new life, and you are about to say goodbye to this world?
Listening to the screams in her ears, Feng Shuwan's face showed a look of despair.
However, the next moment, several exclamations rang out. Feng Shuwan suddenly felt a tightness in her waist, and then a strong force held her in the air and turned quickly.
When she opened her eyes again, Feng Shuwan saw Wei Zhuang's face in front of her.
At this time, Feng Shuwan had already arrived at Xiaoyu's side, and Wei Zhuang wrapped one hand around Feng Shuwan's waist and turned his back to the startled horse. At that moment just now, Wei Zhuang hugged Feng Shuwan and changed positions, and all the movements took less than a second......
And the hooves of the startled horse almost fell against Wei Zhuang's back.
Wei Zhuang's face was covered with cold sweat.
There was silence on the street, and everyone was stunned by the sight in front of them.
Xiaoyu hurriedly came over to support Feng Shuwan, her face full of worry: "Miss, Miss!" Are you okay? ”
Feng Shuwan's face turned a little pale, and she shook her head in shock, "It's okay......"
Seeing that Feng Shuwan was fine, Wei Zhuang let out a long breath, let go of the arm that was holding her waist, and then slowly turned around.
He was confronted by the startled horse, who was looking down on Wei Zhuang to be exact.
Wei Zhuang stood still, his body was like a long sword, and his eyes erupted with bursts of killing intent.
The startled dark eyes suddenly dodged and took two steps back. Wei Zhuang stared straight into its eyes, and slowly stepped forward step by step, and the originally restless startled horse actually lowered its head and retreated like a lost dog.
Everyone around gasped.
A person can scare off a startled horse with momentum.
This is also too godly......
In this way, the carriage was forced step by step by Wei Zhuang to the middle of the road, and the groom had not yet recovered from the panic by tugging on the reins.
"Well done!"
I don't know who in the crowd shouted, and the next moment there was a lot of people, and for a time the praise resounded through the streets. Wei Zhuang sighed, and the anger in his heart also dissipated a little in this cheer.
At this moment, the carriage, which had gone far ahead, stopped, and a person walked down from the carriage, walked up to the coachman with a gloomy face, and slapped him without saying a word.
"Idiot, you can't even get a carriage, what's the use of asking you!"
