At the pass where Jia Lian had just been drinking tea, Aqi heard the noise and walked out of the tent. When he saw Jia Lian riding his horse away, without thinking, he quickly walked to Ma Peng, untied his horse, and chased after him.
Xie Jun and others felt relieved when they saw this. Seeing the direction where the veiled woman came from, suddenly another fast horse chased out, also a young woman.
"Who is coming?" Xie Jun stepped forward to ask.
The woman in well-dressed eyes watched Aqi riding away, seeming to have some suspicion, and asked in a cold voice: "Did you just see a veiled palace maid passing here?"
"Just now, a veiled woman passed by here. She seemed to have lost control of her horse. Our commander has already caught up with her. Who are you? Without the Crown Prince's order, this place is not allowed to pass!"
The woman only listened to half of the sentence, then waved the reins to speed up. Realizing that Jun and others wanted to stop him, she whipped her horse and shouted: "I am Zhaoyang, anyone who stops me will die."
The woman's temperament was extraordinary. Xie Jun and others originally guessed that she was the noble lady attending today's meeting. But after hearing the word "Zhaoyang", they dared to stop her. They could only avoid the horsewhip swung by the other party, and then looked at her helplessly. Go away quickly.
…
On the other side of the mountain road, Jia Lian hugged the beauty's delicate body and fell to the ground.
As the world was spinning, he didn't know how many times he was hit by rocks and branches.
Finally stopping, Jia Lian quickly lowered his head and looked into his arms.
When he fell off the horse just now, although he tried his best to protect the beauty in his arms, he rolled several times on the ground. Jia Lian was still worried that such a delicate beauty would be injured.
"Hey, are you okay?"
Jia Lian shrugged and bumped the person in his arms to see if she was knocked unconscious.
However, it didn't happen. After seeing that she was safe, the beauty in her arms also looked up at Jia Lian.
This glance immediately stunned Jia Lian.
Originally, this beauty was wearing a palace maid's corset. Although Jia Lian judged that she was a rare beauty based on her figure, he could not be sure because she was covered with a veil.
At this moment, I don’t know where her veil has flown to...
A prosperous face appeared in his arms.
The cold and cold face, in terms of temperament and beauty, is comparable to that of Miaoyu, but it seems to be naturally more indifferent and calm, more aloof, as if it is a sacred aura that no one dares to violate.
This was the only time Jia Lian saw Qin Shi Keqing. The first time he saw a woman, he felt conquered.
Moreover, the figure in my arms feels similar to that of my nephew-in-law, soft, graceful, and very comfortable to hold.
Such a stunning beauty with such a beautiful appearance and figure, she should be more than just a palace maid.
If it wasn't a palace maid, could it be Princess Zhaoyang herself?
It's just that Princess Zhaoyang is only eighteen years old. This beauty doesn't look as green as an eighteen-year-old should, but has a mature and beautiful charm!
Could it be that Princess Zhaoyang is more mature than her peers, so that’s why she hasn’t been able to get married?
Jia Lian was bewildered by the beauty's beauty and forgot his movements for a moment.
The beauty was stunned for a moment when she looked at Jia Lian. Her eyes stayed on Jia Lian's face, which was slightly scratched by a branch and oozing with blood. After a while, she said in a clear voice: "Help me up."
Although the voice was pleasant, the tone was not gentle, and seemed to have a commanding tone.
Royal women are not easy to mess with, so Jia Lian quickly gathered his thoughts, supported the beauty up, took a step back and clasped his fists, saying: "Jia Lian, commander of the Xicheng Army and Horses Division, pays homage to Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyang.
The situation was urgent just now and I offended His Highness a lot. Please forgive me. "
Seeing that Jia Lian recognized her as Zhao Yang, the beauty only frowned slightly, then felt relieved, and seemed to feel a little inexplicable joy.
She nodded, and then looked forward, at the horse that fell beside the mountain road.
Jia Lian followed her gaze, and then he seemed to have discovered something, and walked over quickly.
The horse is a good horse with a strong body, but it fell to the ground and couldn't get up at all. Its limbs were twitching, and there was foam at the horse's mouth...
Jia Lian's face changed slightly. He squatted down to check, then looked at the beauty and said in shock: "Isn't this horse out of control? Is it poisoned?"
The beauty's eyebrows darkened slightly, and she didn't explain. She just looked at Jia Lian:
"I am accompanying the Crown Prince and others on the hunt. I don't want to be brought here by mistake due to my poor equestrian skills. I also ask the general to send me back as soon as possible so as not to worry the Crown Prince and others."
Jia Lian had no intention of provoking any princess or princess, but now that he had saved her, she was always cold and indifferent, let alone saying thank you, so he also lost his enthusiasm for the beauty.
The princess's horse was poisoned. This matter is unusual no matter how you look at it. Therefore, it is better to keep things official and have people protect the scene later. It is better to keep other things out of the mix.
So he led his white horse.
After many years of companionship, the horse he often rides has become familiar with human nature.
Although he was abandoned by Jia Lian just now, he turned back to look for his master not long after.
"Your Highness, please."
Jia Lian thought that the beauty was fragile and might not be able to mount the horse alone, but who knew that the other woman's body was very light and she stepped on the stirrup and jumped onto the horse in an instant, with a somewhat dancing-like beauty.
There are two people and only one horse, so Jia Lian has no choice but to take on the responsibility of leading the horse.
When he caught a glimpse of the veil hanging on a branch by the roadside, he walked over to help pick it up.
Suddenly hearing the violent sound of horse hooves, Jia Lian looked back and saw two men and horses jumping out of the mountain road.
The one riding in front is Aqi, and the one riding behind is also a woman.
I saw her beautiful appearance and heroic posture, chasing Aqi's horse. When she arrived, she seemed very excited to see the mature beauty on the white horse, and she immediately accelerated and rushed over.
"Uu~!"
The horse under the woman raised its front hooves high and stopped accurately in front of the beauty, showing its superb horse-riding skills.
"Emperor...are you okay?"
The beauty knew that the woman would reveal her identity, so she shook her head in advance to make her change her story. Then facing the woman's concern, the beauty said gently: "I'm fine, it was General Jia who saved me."
The woman glanced at Jia Lian casually and had no intention of paying attention to Jia Lian's male lust. She said with great remorse and self-blame: "It's all my fault that I didn't protect you well and you were frightened... I'm glad you're okay, otherwise I really don't know what to do." What should I do..."
The beauty still shook her head at her, "This is not the place to talk. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after we get back."
"Okay, I'll take you back now!"
The woman said, and immediately turned the horse's head to escort the mature beauty back.
From beginning to end, she didn't glance at Jia Lian.
This is also normal. To them, Jia Lian and others are just courtiers, and it is okay to be polite.
With such a big event happening today, I can't care so much.
Even if Jia Lian is to be rewarded, it will be done after they return to the garden safely.
Jia Lian was originally his duty to save people, and he didn't want to show anything, so when he was ignored by others, he naturally wouldn't talk or flatter him with a straight face.
On the other hand, the beauty who was rescued by her quietly glanced back at Jia Lian as she rode forward, and then the two of them rode away quickly.
"grown ups……"
At this time, Aqi also walked to Jia Lian's side. Seeing the color on Jia Lian's face, she was a little worried.
"I don't care."
Jia Lian quietly folded the veil in his hands into his sleeves and looked back at the half-dead horse lying on the ground. Then he had no intention of staying and rode a horse with A Qi back to the camp.
