Suddenly, dust rose on the road, and two fast horses came galloping one after the other, equally matched.

When approaching the city gate, Ji Zhen sped up, determined to win. Unexpectedly, a team of fast horses rushed out of the city gate and collided with her head-on. Ji Zhen had no time to dodge, and Yu Bojun, who was following closely behind her, was horrified. Just as he was about to jump up and pull Ji Zhen over, he didn't expect her to squeeze the horse's belly tightly and shouted loudly:

"Treading snow! Be alert and take off!"

Ji Zhen leaned over the horse's back and pulled the reins. With a clear neigh, the white horse leaped high into the air and actually passed over the heads of the cavalry. Amid exclamations, it landed steadily on the opposite slope.

Seeing that Ji Zhen was fine, Yu Bojun loosened his grip on the reins. When his heart, which had been hanging high, finally settled down, he suddenly remembered that his general was the one who rode across the Wanren Mountain on the snow. A team of fast horses at the city gate was not enough for her.

The crowd entering and leaving the city gate was silent for a moment, and then burst into cheers.

Those carrying loads, pushing carts, and even the rich young man sitting in a sedan chair, all leaned half of their heads out of the small window, wanting to get a clear look at the god-like man riding a horse and wondering who he was.

Ji Zhen was not shy either. She waved her whip openly to signal to everyone, and she felt like a star taking her final bow, which made her want to laugh.

But before she could laugh out loud, the leader of the horse team she had stepped over came to her angrily and questioned her.

"How dare you! The Ninth Prince's carriage is here! Who dares to cross the line?"

The crowd that was cheering for her just now pointed their fingers at Ji Zhen immediately after hearing her words. It was so neat and neat. Ji Zhen looked up at the sky speechlessly. This group of spectators was really unreliable, even worse than fence-sitters!

Yu Bojun looked at the leader who looked fierce but was actually weak, and approached Ji Zhen without saying a word. He stood behind her, holding the reins tightly, tensing his body, just like he had done countless times in the northwest when he was ready to charge into the enemy camp, just waiting for Ji Zhen's order.

Ji Zhen naturally felt Yu Bojun's tension. She curled her lips, poked him lightly with the whip, and laughed softly:

"Why are you so nervous? What about the Ninth Prince or the First Prince? You haven't even seen their shadow yet, and you're already scared?"

"Then why don't you come? Beijing is not our territory like the Northwest, so don't come here."

Yu Bojun pointed at the gorgeous carriage parked at the back of the horse team and reminded Ji Zhen, but she sneered and whipped him lightly, scolding:

"Now that you have grown wings, you dare to control me, your boss?"

The leader, who was left aside by the two men, saw that they were talking back and forth and totally ignored her, so she raised her whip and whipped Ji Zhen's big baby, Taxue, to show her a warning. However, she didn't expect that as soon as she swung the whip, she was grabbed tightly by Ji Zhen who flew down, and she didn't even see when Ji Zhen moved.

"You are so brave that you dare to touch my horse?"

Ji Zhen's eyes flashed with coldness, staring at the leader like a substance, causing her to shudder, but she still said stubbornly:

"How dare you! You dare to block the Ninth Prince's carriage? Even if I chop off your horse, it won't matter."

"Oh?" Ji Zhen frowned. Not only was she not angry, but she even had a smile on her face.

Yu Bojun glanced at the smiling Ji Zhen, calmly took up Taxue's reins, gently stroked its smooth snow-white mane, and stepped aside with it and the black dragon, leaving a space for its owner.

As expected, Ji Zhen's hand shook, and before the leader could react, he was thrown up by a powerful force. It was right at the position of Taxue's horse head. The leader looked at Taxue in confusion, and Taxue snorted at her, spraying her face with snot. But before she could wipe it off, Ji Zhen threw her to the ground again, and she fell flat on her face.

Ji Zhen threw away her whip, took the handkerchief handed to her by Ye Feng, wiped her hands, and said coldly:

"The horse you want to chop down has followed me on a thousand-mile expedition to the Northern Di royal court to capture the enemy's head. Your Majesty has bestowed upon it the title of 'The Wind-riding Divine Horse, the Fierce General Who Defeats the Di'. If you chop it down, I'm afraid it will bring bad luck to Your Majesty."

The leader was shaking as much as she had been arrogant before. She thought of ten thousand ways to die in an instant, and in the end, she was so scared that she rolled her eyes and fainted.

The people watching the excitement around originally wanted to see her and Ji Zhen fighting each other, but they didn't expect that Ji Zhen said only three sentences and she fainted. They felt disappointed and left after pointing and criticizing.

At this time, a eunuch came running from the back of the convoy, bowed respectfully to Ji Zhen, and said:

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, please ask Your Highness Qingyan to move over and have a chat."

Ji Zhen looked at the gorgeous carriage behind the convoy, nodded slightly, and followed him.

When he reached the front of the car, Ji Zhen bowed very straight and said:

"I am here to meet His Highness Ninth Prince."

"Your Highness Qingyan, please do not bow."

A clear and gentle voice came out through the thick car curtains, without a trace of emotion.

Ji Zhen stood up, taking into account the distinction between men and women, and the difference between the emperor and his subjects, and then took a step back before standing still, showing a noble and dignified temperament. A breeze blew, blowing up a corner of the car curtain, revealing a primrose-colored robe corner. Ji Zhen lowered his head, observing the etiquette, and looked straight ahead.

Then I heard the person in the car sighed imperceptibly and said slowly:

"The team leader did not intend to offend His Highness Qingyan. I will deal with her properly after returning to the palace. I just hope that His Highness will not be angry with me because of this matter and become estranged from me."

Ji Zhen's eyes twitched and he dared not answer, he just bowed his head and said yes. The person in the car seemed to hesitate for a moment, then whispered again:

"The Queen Mother seems to be in a bad mood recently. Your Highness must be careful when dealing with her in front of the Queen Mother. Do not argue with the Queen Mother, which may only bring you temporary pleasure but may lead to physical pain."

Ji Zhen was a little choked up, she thought:

Your mother, the Queen, is in a bad mood, and I'm afraid it's because of me that she's upset. Isn't it a little late to talk about it now?

Fortunately, even though she complained, she still kept her composure and responded politely, and no one could find any fault with her at all.

The Ninth Prince in the carriage seemed to want to say something else, but was reminded by the eunuch serving beside the carriage:

"Your Highness, it's getting late. The convoy cannot block the city gate all the time. If someone reports this to His Majesty, I'm afraid His Majesty will blame us."

"Then, let's go. Goodbye, Your Highness Qingyan."

"Farewell to His Highness Ninth Prince."

Ji Zhen stood there and watched the Ninth Prince leave, waiting for Ye Feng to come over with her horse and Yu Bojun.

Yu Bojun followed her gaze to the rear of the convoy and shook his head.

“They all seem a little uncomfortable.”

Ji Zhen rolled his eyes, walked towards Fuchun Tower first, and said:

"Don't you realize what time it is? It's strange that you can be relaxed! Let's go have some tea!"
