Chapter 495: Chapter 170: The Little Prince of Great Zhou! The Destiny Coffin Appears Again! (A 10,000-Word Mega Chapter, Subscription Requested)_1
"My goodness... Mother, that was too close! Almost got hit," a vegetable vendor at the side of the road muttered as he patted his racing heart, angrily glaring at the two frantically galloping horses.
Unable to hold back, he burst out cursing, "Two idiots, are you blind in broad daylight? Can’t you see this road is so... mmph mmph mmph!!"
Before he could finish his sentence, someone quickly ran to him and covered his mouth.
The person who covered his mouth urgently whispered, "Shush! Are you looking to die, kid! Do you know who those people are?"
Seeing that the vegetable vendor finally stopped shouting abuses.
Only then did the person let go of his hand that was covering the other’s mouth.
The vegetable vendor gasped for air, his face filled with surprised and puzzled expressions, and couldn’t help but ask, "Why can’t I curse them... who are they?"
The person who had covered his mouth explained, "Didn’t you see the clothes that child was wearing?"
The vegetable vendor was taken aback.
He took a moment to recall more carefully, and remembered the brief glimpse he had caught of the other’s clothing.
Wait a minute!
The vegetable vendor’s eyes suddenly widened, as he finally realized who the other was: "People from the... palace?!"
"Yes!" the person who had covered his mouth said with emotion, "If they were the petty kind, the few words you just cursed out could have been enough for them to hold a grudge against you."
"Hss!" The vegetable vendor shuddered.
He was scared.
After all, he was just an ordinary commoner and didn’t know any high-status individuals. Once entangled with such an existence,
there would be no turning back.
...
Elsewhere,
Yun Jiuqing also saw the two tall horses charging from behind. The one in the lead was robust and obviously an expensive steed.
A brown horse followed at a distance. Although it too was a good horse, it wasn’t as extraordinary as the one in the lead.
Listening to the rapid clinking sound of horseshoes on the stone slabs,
hearing the screams of the little brat on the back of that lead horse, and the anxious voice of the person on the horse behind,
Yun Jiuqing didn’t get out of the way.
Neither did Xing Fengzi.
They both did not move aside because Daoist Fan Wu did not move aside.
"Aaah!" The little brat with two hands clutching the reins tightly, his pale face and bulging eyes staring at the people in front, couldn’t help but shout, "Move... move away, I can’t stop it! It won’t respond!!"
As a collision with the people ahead seemed imminent, the little brat on the horseback had his eyes clenched shut in fear.
He felt as if he could foresee the gory scene of the tall horse crashing into those people, and the intense pain as the horse would tumble down crushing him beneath.
"Hu Banban" following behind was even more horrified, aware that if the Little Prince’s horse collided with the pedestrians,
whether it was those struck pedestrians or the colliding horse, they would likely fall to the ground.
The Little Prince would be in grave danger!
However...
Just as the little brat’s tall horse was about to collide with Fan Wu and the others,
the horse seemed suddenly aware of something, its eyes opening wide in terror.
As if a wild horse had encountered the King of Beasts!
Alarmed, the tall horse tried desperately to halt its galloping hooves, which clashed violently against the stone slabs of the road, sparking fiercely.
"Whinny!!!" The tall horse let out a long shriek of panic.
Its front legs lifted high, standing on its hind limbs, the horse forcefully stopped its momentum.
This threw the little brat on its back off balance, as he failed to hold the reins tightly or clutch the horse’s back.
He fell from the horse, shrieking in terror.
And as his little head was about to meet the sturdy ground for a close encounter,
At that moment,
Xing Fengzi acted swiftly, lunging forward in a single step, grabbing the little brat’s right leg and hoisting him upside down. The little brat’s head was barely an inch from the solid stone pavement.
If Xing Fengzi had been just a half-breath slower, the little brat would likely have been disfigured.
If it were more severe,
it could have resulted in a concussion!
"Phew!!" The person who had been following the little brat on his horse quickly pulled the reins to stop and dismounted with fluent ease. He rushed over to Xing Fengzi, gingerly took the terrified little brat into his arms,
and after carefully checking that the little brat had no injuries, he couldn’t help but let out a deep sigh of relief as if a huge weight had been lifted from his chest.
Speaking in a high-pitched voice filled with gratitude, he said, "Thank you, brave sirs... for your heroic rescue!"
Though the phrase "heroic rescue" felt somewhat out of place in the current context, in such a moment of relief, it was the best he could come up with.
"Are you a eunuch?" Xing Fengzi observed that the person had no facial hair,
and the yang energy about him was odd, somewhat like a man’s but weaker.
