Upon hearing Song Siyuan's words, the head of the Mi Kingdom's guards immediately started rolling his eyes.

Everyone in the Mi Kingdom knows that General Shenwei greatly admires fine steeds. If that horse is indeed, as this man says, a top-quality steed bought from Qirong, wouldn't it be a great opportunity for him to be promoted and make a fortune if he could capture it and present it to General Shenwei?

Thinking of this, the guard leader said menacingly to Song Siyuan, "I haven't seen any of your horses. Get out of here now, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Sir, I clearly saw it coming this way. Are you sure you didn't see it? By the way, my horse was completely black with a white crescent mark on its head. It was very easy to recognize."

That horse cost me ten thousand taels of silver; if I lose it, I'll be bankrupt!

"I already said I didn't see it, hurry up and go!" Hearing Song Siyuan say this, the guard leader was even less willing to tell him the horse's whereabouts.

A horse worth ten thousand taels of silver is hard to find in the entire Mi Kingdom. If we just drive these people away, the horse will be ours.

However, just as the guard leader finished speaking, the sound of hooves came from afar again. It turned out that Wanfeng had circled around and, seeing that the guards had not caught up with it, had turned back.

"My horse, that's my horse! Quick, go and bring it back!"

Upon seeing Wanfeng, Song Siyuan no longer cared about the guards and ordered his men to chase after her.

Upon seeing this, Wanfeng immediately changed direction and ran back into the heart of the Mi Kingdom.

"Stop! Stop right there!" Song Siyuan and the others shouted at Wanfeng as they ran after it.

The guards of the Mi Kingdom were at a loss when they saw this, unsure whether to stay or go and bring those people back.

"What are you all standing there for? Go and bring those people back!" the guard leader shouted angrily.

Then, he took a horse from the side, quickly mounted it, and chased after the direction where Song Siyuan and the others had disappeared.

Seeing this, his men also picked up their spears and followed.

Seeing this, Shen Man felt that this was their best opportunity to infiltrate the Mi Kingdom, and immediately said to everyone, "Everyone, listen to my command, follow me down the mountain and into the Mi Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, everyone grabbed their weapons and followed Shen Man down the mountain.

The guards at the checkpoint had all gone after Song Siyuan and his group, so Shen Man led everyone across the checkpoint without breaking a sweat and into the territory of Mi Kingdom.

"We need to find a place to hide so we can meet up with Song Siyuan and the others!" Shen Man glanced around and found that the area was overgrown with weeds, and several dilapidated wooden houses were scattered crookedly by the roadside, clearly uninhabited for a long time.

Cui Jinrong lowered his voice and said, "This place is too open and not conducive to hiding. We need to go deeper into the area."

The group followed a path strewn with pebbles, and soon a dense forest appeared in the distance. The tall, thick trees provided perfect cover for them.

Shen Man waved her hand, and everyone quickly disappeared into the woods.

She arranged for several team members to set traps on the outskirts of the woods, while the others dispersed and hid among the dense foliage.

Unlike the Crimson Flame Kingdom, the Mi Kingdom is too small, consisting of only one main city. Normally, only its own people enter and leave, so the city gates are virtually undefended.

Wanfeng ran wildly along the road and unknowingly ended up in the city.

Song Siyuan and his group hadn't run far when they were stopped by the guard commander.

The guard commander reined in his horse, his sinister gaze sweeping over Song Siyuan's pale face. He lifted Song Siyuan's chin with his spear. "A horse worth ten thousand taels of silver? Hmph, in Mi Kingdom, your life is worth far less than a horse's."

The soldiers behind him, brandishing gleaming swords and spears, surrounded Song Siyuan and his men, their blades gleaming coldly in the sunlight, as if they might fall at any moment.

Suppressing his fear, Song Siyuan forced a smile and said, "Sir, this horse was a gift from me to the buyer. If it gets lost..."

"Enough with the nonsense!" the commander suddenly roared, slamming his spear down at Song Siyuan's feet, the flying pebbles tearing at his calf. "Leave your horse or leave your life! I want to see which is worth more, your head or that horse!"

Just then, a guard stumbled in: "Commander! That black horse has entered the city and is heading straight for Jinhua Street!"

The commander's expression changed drastically, and he grabbed Song Siyuan by the collar: "Quickly stop it! Jinhua Street is full of high-ranking officials and gentry. If anything happens, they'll lose their heads!"

However, at this moment, Wanfeng sped along and had already arrived at Jinhua Street.

All it knew was that its master had sent it to Mi Kingdom to cause trouble, the bigger the commotion the better. It figured that as long as it went to places with lots of people, the trouble would be significant.

On Jinhua Street, people were terrified and scattered in panic when they saw the suddenly appearing galloping horses.

The driver of an ornate carriage jerked the reins in alarm, trying to avoid a collision, but the wind-blown mane brushed against his cheek, startling the horse so much that its front hooves lurched off the ground, and the noblewoman on the carriage screamed as she fell onto a roadside stall.

A street vendor's bamboo basket was knocked over, and fresh fruits and vegetables rolled to the ground, attracting a scramble from the crowd.

"Stop it! Stop this mad horse!" A young master dressed in fine silk shouted, waving a folding fan. Several attendants quickly found a bundle of hemp rope and tried to lasso Wanfeng, but it nimbly avoided them.

Someone tried to lasso it with a long pole, but Wanfeng suddenly stood upright, its iron hooves drawing a cold light in the air, frightening everyone into retreating.

In the chaos, a guard rushed out of the Princess's residence, shouting, "Make way! The Princess's entourage is here!"

Before the words were even finished, Wanfeng had already rushed straight towards the ornately decorated carriage.

The horses pulling the carriage were startled, neighing and breaking free of their reins, confronting the wind in the middle of the street.

"What's going on?" The sedan curtain was lifted, and Princess Su Jingrou of the Mi Kingdom peeked out with her brows furrowed.

The guard in charge of driving the carriage hurriedly reported, "Your Highness, a wild horse has run off from somewhere and is running amok, making a complete mess of Jinhua Street!"

"Quickly return to the manor and report to the general, and have him send men to subdue that horse!" Upon hearing this, the guard immediately turned and ran towards the Princess's manor.

Upon hearing the report, General Meng Qi, the Divine Might General, immediately changed into his armor, leaped onto his beloved horse, and galloped out the door like a gust of wind.

In a short while, he arrived at Jinhua Street and saw that the princess's carriage was blocked by a horse that was entirely black.

A fervent light flashed in Meng Qi's eyes. He could tell at a glance that Wanfeng was a top-quality steed, better than any horse he had ever seen.

"All of you, step back!" he roared, brandishing his double maces like dragons emerging from the sea, dispersing the guards who had been blocking his way.

Wanfeng's ears suddenly perked up, as if sensing danger. His whole body tensed up, and he entered a state of high alert.

When Mengqi reached out to grab the reins, it suddenly turned around and retreated rapidly along the way it had come.

"Chase!" Without hesitation, Meng Qi mounted his horse and chased after Wan Feng with all his might.
