The prince's personal bodyguard

Bai Xinyin watched Bu Shiren and the other person walk away, and asked Mei Jiu what to do if he really came to propose marriage in three days?

"The hermit has a clever plan." Mei Jiu winked at Bai Xinyin.

Bai Xinyin knew that Mei Jiu was a safe person, so she just smiled and didn't take it to heart.

The group walked around happily. Looking at the clay figurine maker on the street, the figurines were very lifelike. Ah Luo liked it very much and asked the maker to make one based on her image. She looked at it from left to right and couldn't let it go.

At this time, someone was heard shouting, "Dongcheng Hou, Lord Hou, is that you?"

A few people looked up and saw a beautiful girl dressed in foreign clothes, followed by a group of guards, who quickly appeared in front of everyone.

"Princess Jia Lan?" Bai Xinyin bowed to Jia Lan.

"Oh, I'm so happy to run into you." Princess Jia Lan jumped up. "I sent a letter to Prince Rong's mansion to invite you out, but Prince Rong refused, saying that you were busy. Are you that busy?"

As for this matter, Bai Xinyin touched his nose and said vaguely: "I was busy for a while, but it's okay today."

"That's great, let's go walking around the streets together. This is my first time walking around the streets of Kyoto as well."

"Okay then!" Bai Xinyin saw that Princess Jialan had no ill intentions and it was difficult to refuse.

As they were talking, suddenly a few horses came running on the road in the distance. The horses were running very fast, and because there were so many people on the street, they immediately caused a commotion.

"Who dares to act so wildly on the streets of Zhao's capital? I'll teach him a lesson!" Princess Jialan was very indignant. She was a person who hated evil and was fearless. When she saw some people acting so rampant, her hands were quicker than her brain and she whipped the leader on horseback.

The leader was none other than Wei Wuji, a great general of the State of Wei. This man was meticulous, brave and resourceful. Today, when he had just arrived at the city gate, even though an official from the State of Zhao came to meet him, he ignored him. After they met and exchanged greetings, he deliberately let his horse gallop ahead to test the strength of the capital of the State of Zhao.

Wei was already a powerful country, and Zhao had just risen. If Zhao was humble in front of Wei's envoys, it meant that Zhao was weak; if Zhao was tough, it meant that Zhao had a capable person. In other words, they would ride a fast horse to test the situation. If someone was in charge, it meant that the capital was heavily guarded and the military strength should not be underestimated; if no one was in charge, it meant that the military discipline was lax and the management was loose. A glimpse of the whole picture can reveal the whole picture.

The official who had just received them was a civil servant named Wen Zhishan. He was neither humble nor arrogant, and knew when to advance and retreat. But he still wanted to test it out.

But today, by coincidence, he was stopped by Princess Jia Lan after running a few steps.

Wei Wuji quickly pulled the reins and dodged the whip Princess Jialan threw at him, but he didn't expect that the horse would deviate from the direction when he pulled the reins. The horse raised its front hooves high and headed towards the roadside. There was a five or six-year-old child who had just bought a clay figurine on the roadside. He was looking at the clay figurine with interest and had not left yet. If the horse's hoof fell, it would definitely step on the child, and he would be injured if not killed.

At this critical moment, everyone was stunned. Suddenly, Luo, who was closest to the child, rushed to the child and pushed him aside. The child fell down and burst into tears.

And one of the horse's hooves landed heavily on A'Luo.

"Ah!" A'Luo fell face down on the ground, screaming in pain on her back, and the clay figure in her hand fell to the ground.

"Why did you push the child? Huh?" The adult whose child was pushed didn't see the situation clearly at first and was about to blame A-Luo. But when he saw that A-Luo was trampled by the horse's hooves, he was shocked. He quickly helped the child up and said to A-Luo, "I'm sorry, thank you for saving my child."

Then he stood up and cursed at the man on the horse: "Don't you have eyes? How can you ride such a fast horse in the street with so many people?"

Wei Wuji was not a barbaric and unreasonable person. If the princess had not suddenly whipped him with a whip, he would have been able to control the horse. People make mistakes, and horses stumble. This was well explained at this moment.

This matter was related to him. So he got off the horse and apologized, but Ah Luo was in so much pain that she didn't even raise her head.

The horse's reins deviated a little as he pulled hard. Otherwise, both hooves would have fallen on Luo. With the weight of the horse and the weight of the person, Luo would have been crippled.

Bai Xinyin and the others saw this and were very nervous, so they ran over. Bai Xinyin quickly checked Luo and touched the bones on her back. Fortunately, the bones were not broken, but it seemed to be very painful, so it should be a fracture.

He ordered people not to touch A'Luo, and to find a stretcher to carry A'Luo back.

Princess Jia Lan, one of the perpetrators, did not expect this to happen. Although she was arrogant, she was also a reasonable person. She was busy running around and said to A Luo, "I'm sorry."

A'Luo smiled, her face pale, which made Princess Jialan feel even more guilty, and her evil fire was directed at Wei Wuji.

"Where are you from, a barbarian? How dare you ride your horse recklessly in the long streets of Zhao's capital? The streets are full of people. Don't you know how to cherish the lives of women and children?"

Wei Wuji thought: If it weren't for you, how could I have made such a mistake? But now was not the time to be quick-witted, so he said: "You blame me for being reckless. I am willing to compensate the girl for all medical expenses and losses!"

Bai Xinyin looked at him. He was very majestic and calm. She felt that he was not a simple person. Before she could say anything, she saw a group of people chasing after her. The official in charge, Wen Zhishan, shouted, "General Wei, wait a minute. The capital is under the feet of the emperor. We cannot act recklessly. The patrol camp of the capital has just warned me. If I run so fast, someone will stop me. I can only walk back to the posthouse."

When the soldiers arrived, they found a group of people gathered around them. After asking about the situation, they rolled their eyes and curled their lips, thinking: This general of the Wei State is not a teenager anymore, how can he do things so recklessly? But for the sake of the diplomatic relationship between the two countries, he can't just ignore it. So he asked: "Who are the relatives of this girl?"

"Me." Bai Xiyin said.

Wen Zhishan took a look and dismounted, "It's you, my Lord. I apologize for the inconvenience. This is General Wei Wuji, the distinguished envoy sent by the State of Wei, who is here to congratulate our dynasty on the Thousand Autumn Festival. You should take this girl home first and settle all the expenses when you return to the post station."

Then he looked at Wei Wuji, and then at Bai Xinyin: "May I ask, Lord, where should we place this girl?"

"Xinglin Hall." There is a place to take care of patients in Xinglin Hall. Luo can stay there temporarily so that she can be taken care of.

"it is good!"

At this time, the stretcher arrived. Wen Zhishan glanced at Wei Wuji again, and seeing that there was no movement, he took out a silver note from his pocket and said, "This is 100 taels of silver. I'm going to advance General Wei's medical expenses. You can use it first. If it's not enough, go to the post station to ask for more."

"Okay!" Although Xinglintang was opened by themselves, they still had a hard time getting paid by someone. Besides, they should be the ones to pay the compensation.

It was impossible to go shopping on the street. Bai Xinyin felt that she must have a fortune-teller before going shopping next time. Every time she came with high hopes, she would leave disappointed. What was wrong with the Kyoto streets?

When Wei Wuji saw this, he quickly asked someone to take out a silver note and return it to Wen Zhishan, and then took out two more and handed them to Bai Xinyin.

"My Lord, it was all my fault for being reckless. I will come to visit you another day and apologize!"

Mei Jiu originally wanted to scold him a few words, but when she saw that he was sincerely admitting his mistake, she gave up.

Bai Xinyin and others followed the stretcher back to Xinglin Hall, and Princess Jialan also left in disappointment. Wei Wuji was about to climb onto the horse when he accidentally discovered a clay figurine next to the girl who had just been trampled by the horse. Out of curiosity, he bent down and picked it up.

Looking at the lifelike appearance of the clay figurine, Wei Wuji laughed secretly. Blessings and misfortunes go hand in hand. Who would have thought that it would be so effortless to get it?
