Not long after, Nanny Qin and the others came back, having bought a cart full of things.

There's nothing we can do because there are so many of them.

Then they continued on their way.

Because Lin Shubin didn't have a horse, he sat in the front of Qin Ma's carriage, next to the driver.

In fact, that position was quite comfortable, especially since Nanny Qin gave him a soft cushion.

The convoy gradually moved farther and farther away from the city, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road.

An hour later, in the carriage.

Shen Jingyi looked at King Xuan with bright eyes and held his arm.

"My Lord, please take me for a horse ride!"

King Xuan, the sun outside this morning is not too hot.

So, I pinched her nose lovingly and she agreed.

"Okay, I'll fulfill your wish to ride a horse today."

When the two men got off the carriage, someone immediately brought King Xuan's horse over.

King Xuan stroked the horse's mane and soothed it.

"Yier, its name is Lightning, come and touch it"

Shen Jingyi looked at the tall and strong horse in front of her and started to ride it with great interest.

Lightning seemed a little repulsed, and wanted to raise his head, snort, and move his legs irritably.

However, it was soon suppressed by King Xuan.

"Can I... can I ride it?"

Shen Jingyi was a little hesitant. Although she could ride a horse, this was lightning!

She had heard of it.

This horse is not allowed to be ridden by anyone other than King Xuan.

Didn’t you see that it has been running by itself all the way?

I didn't want her to touch me, but she insisted on touching me.

"of course can!"

King Xuan smiled, his eyes revealing a doting look.

"I'm here, it's okay, you can try it."

After some encouragement, Shen Jingyi finally nodded.

With the help of King Xuan, she easily got on the horse.

King Xuan held the reins firmly behind her to ensure that she would not fall.

The horse moved irritably on the spot, seemingly not very happy.

King Xuan pulled the reins, and a low and gentle voice sounded,

"Are you ready?"

"Yeah!" Shen Jingyi was a little nervous, but more expectant.

She felt the slight body temperature of King Xuan and felt at ease.

"Then let's go!"

"drive"

King Xuan gave an order and gently patted the horse's butt. The horse immediately galloped away, raising a cloud of dust.

"Wow——" Shen Jingyi screamed.

As the horse speeds up, the surrounding scenery quickly recedes.

Her heartbeat quickened.

"Don't worry, I'm here!"

King Xuan's voice was like a warm wind, lingering in her ears.

Shen Jingyi quickly adapted to the speed and bumps of the horse.

I felt an unprecedented sense of joy in my heart, and the sound of the wind in my ears was like cheerful music.

"I'm not afraid. We can go even faster."

Shen Jingyi shouted happily.

The view from a horse is vastly different from the view from a carriage.

Sitting in a carriage, one can only see limited scenery outside through the window;

While riding a horse, you can look around freely, feel the wind, the sunshine and the vastness of the earth.

The scenery in front of me passed by quickly, with green trees, overlapping mountains and gurgling rivers. Everything became so vivid and real.

King Xuan laughed out loud and said, "Hold on tight."

"drive"

"drive"

I immediately felt that the horse was much faster than before.

This is hard for those who follow behind.

The carriage was no longer visible.

The fifty men following behind were chasing him on horseback.

However, their horses were not of the same level, and their efforts seemed unable to make up for the gap between the horses.

As time went by, the horse's butt gradually disappeared.

"Should we stop and wait for them?" Shen Jingyi turned around and the person following her was gone.

"No, they will catch up." King Xuan said confidently.

Suddenly he looked at Shen Jingyi with sharp eyes.

"Would you like to try to learn to control it?"

"Okay!" Shen Jingyi's face was full of excitement.

She tried to steady herself, clamped her legs around the horse's belly, and pulled the reins, trying to control the fast horse.

King Xuan advised: "Relax a little and follow your heart."

With his encouragement, Shen Jingyi gradually found the rhythm of riding and felt an unprecedented freedom.

Shen Jingyi's horse riding skills are incomparable to King Xuan's.

So, the people following behind finally caught up with them.

......

Cangzhou Prefecture Office Study

A fifty-year-old man sat in the main seat.

Below, there were two tall, rough-looking and fierce-looking men sitting on one side and several officials sitting on the other side.

At this time, everyone looked at the person who was speaking with respect.

"King Xuan is going to He County and will soon pass through the border of Cangzhou.

Tell your men to be more restrained and not to run into King Xuan's sword.

I'll also keep an eye on Jade Mountain. Make sure to strengthen the guards and don't let anyone inside escape."

"Yes, sir." Everyone agreed.

What he didn't know was that Jade Mountain was well guarded, but just because the people inside couldn't escape, it didn't mean they couldn't go in.

At this time, Chuwu and his two men had just been escorted to Yushishan.

They looked at the people in front of them, their fingers calloused from long-term labor, their clothes ragged, their bodies skinny, their faces covered with dirt, and they looked lifeless.

Whenever someone fell down due to exhaustion or was found slacking off, the guards nearby would whip him or her until his or her skin was torn.

The sounds of crying, begging and screaming were all audible.

The three of them immediately showed a look of fear on their faces.

One of them was trembling all over, and his voice was filled with obvious fear:

"Sir, is this the place you mentioned where you provide food and lodging? It doesn't look like it..."

Another person echoed, "We don't want to continue, please let us go. Don't worry, we will never reveal a word about this."

However, the other party sneered and said, "After coming here, do you still think you can go back? Take them away and teach them a lesson."

"No, sir! If we get injured, we won't be able to serve you!" one of them shouted in horror.

"You still have some brains. Then I tell you, don't try to escape. Otherwise, once you are caught, you will die."

Then he pointed to a small manager and said, "Take them away and keep an eye on them. Let them do their job well."

"Yes, Master Li. Don't worry. Once they get here, they won't be able to leave."

This Mr. Li is the brother of Lord Lin's concubine. He leads a group of people to bully men and women everywhere.

Sometimes when he sees outsiders coming to the city to find work, he would trick them into coming over, so a scene like today's was not the first time it had happened.

After the man finished speaking, he swung his whip twice in the air.

Seeing that the three men's faces were filled with fear again, he laughed, put away the whip, and led the three of them inside.

The three of them looked at each other, lowered their heads and followed behind that person, but in fact they were quietly observing the terrain and positions here.
