The number one rebel of the Great Wu

Upon hearing this, Jiang Boheng was slightly taken aback, but then suddenly realized what was going on.

"As expected of Young Master Chen, I admire you greatly!"

Chen Changgeng grinned, waved his hand, exchanged a few polite words, and then turned his gaze to Jiang Baiwei.

"How is Miss Jiang's health?"

"I accompanied His Highness back to Jiangxia these past few days and wasn't able to help you with your medical treatment. Are you alright?"

Although Chen Changgeng asked this question, he was not worried at all.

It's just low blood sugar; there's no further threat. As long as Jiang Baiwei eats properly, she'll be fine.

Speaking of this, Jiang Baiwei recalled something.

"I've been following your advice these past few days, and taking the jujubes has indeed been fine."

"However, if I go back, it will be difficult to buy candied dates."

"I was thinking of buying a few more pounds of jujubes to take with me before I leave Beijing."

At this point, Jiang Baiwei paused slightly.

Chen Changgeng immediately understood.

"I was just about to buy some snacks for His Highness, how about we go out for a stroll together?"

Jiang Baiwei turned her head slightly and looked at Jiang Boheng.

The old man chuckled and readily agreed.

……

The capital city is quite large; the small courtyard where the Jiang family lives is equivalent to being within the Second Ring Road.

The two rode their horses towards the commercial street, which took about ten minutes.

However, Chen Changgeng was born into poverty, and if it weren't for his experience riding horses in his previous life, he would probably have lost face today.

Jiang Baiwei couldn't help but chuckle as she watched from the side, guiding Chen Changgeng while giving him various instructions.

Those who could ride horses in the capital were naturally high-ranking officials and nobles. Ruffians and commoners on the street would know to stay away, and under normal circumstances, nothing would go wrong.

But just as the two turned a corner, a magnificent horse suddenly galloped past them.

The horse was entirely chestnut red and had a robust build. It galloped past the two of them like a blazing fire.

This fleeting moment startled both of them, causing them to back down in surprise and raise their heads high.

Fortunately, Chen Changgeng reacted quickly and gripped the horse's belly tightly, preventing him from falling off.

When the two of them finally landed and looked up again, the wild horse had already galloped off, crashing into several passersby and overturning countless roadside stalls.

The innocent civilians who were trampled and thrown into the air were all lying on the ground, screaming in pain and vomiting blood!

"Strange, why is no one riding this horse? Where did it come from?"

Jiang Baiwei was secretly startled and immediately turned her head to look.

Only then did they see several hundred meters behind them, where several horsemen, panting heavily and looking pale, were chasing after them.

He waved his riding whip while shouting, "It's over! It's over!"

Just then, a series of light footsteps came from the eaves above their heads.

A figure, as swift as lightning, chased after them along the roof ridge.

Then, with a leap, he landed straight on the horse's back, grabbed the reins tightly, and pulled it up!

With a neigh, the red horse almost stood upright.

The man, however, remained motionless, as if firmly attached to the horse's back.

The wild horse, once restrained, instantly became temperamental, jumping and kicking as it desperately tried to throw the person on its back off.

But the man seemed to be a skilled equestrian; no matter how the wild horse moved, he seemed to be one with it, as steady as a rock.

This has caused hardship for the local people.

One was kicked away, another was so frightened that he fell to the ground and wet his pants; the scene was horrific.

The man seemed to know that this couldn't go on, so he simply dismounted, grabbed the reins tightly, and pulled them down.

With a soft "poof!"

The wild horse was pulled so hard that it fell face-first to the ground!

"What incredible strength!"

"What superb horsemanship!"

Chen Changgeng and Jiang Baiwei both exclaimed in unison in praise!

It's important to know that the strength of a wild horse struggling is so great that it can overpower a small car that's only started or running.

To be able to pull it to the ground with just a rein, that would make him a general with superhuman strength in ancient times!

Of course, martial arts still exist in this world, so Chen Changgeng wasn't too surprised.

"Yo yo!"

The wild horse struggled to get up, but the man simply flipped over and sat down on its chest.

It lay on its side on the ground, pinned down and unable to move.

"Move again, and I'll kill you!"

The man snorted coldly, drew his long sword from his waist, and plunged it into the ground in front of the wild horse with a thud.

The wild horse immediately calmed down.

"Oh my, my little darling, you've finally stopped."

"Thank you, thank you so much, sir!"

The coachman finally caught up, his face full of gratitude, and he almost knelt down before the man.

"Please, sir, hand over the horse to me now."

"I'll take him back immediately and keep a close watch on him."

The man looked up, his face turning cold.

"Your horse has caused trouble along the street, injuring more than twenty pedestrians."

"You think you can take it away without paying some money?"

Upon hearing this, the coachman's previously fawning expression instantly turned frosty.

Do you know whose horse this is?

"So what if a few lowly people get injured? Even if they die, they can only blame their bad luck!"

The man was immediately displeased upon hearing this.

"Oh? Whose horse is it?"

"Tell me about it!"

"This is a prized horse captured from the grasslands, destined to be presented to the Fourth Prince!"

"Not only is it priceless, but it is also the object of the Fourth Prince's affections."

"Your forceful pulling of the horse just now has already injured this precious thing. Since you helped me catch the horse, I won't hold it against you."

"If you continue to be so ungrateful, then I'll have to be very strict!"

"baby?"

"No matter how much you treasure him, he's still an animal! He's not as important as a human life!"

"If so many people are injured and don't receive medical treatment, they will only die."

The man glanced at an old man coughing up blood at the end of the street, then immediately raised his sword, ready to send the wild horse to meet the King of Hell.

"Wait a moment, chivalrous hero!"

Chen Changgeng and Jiang Baiwei had already walked up to each other.

Jiang Baiwei is also a straightforward person. Seeing the man's chivalry, she admired him and naturally didn't want him to get into trouble.

"Since these fine horses are the Fourth Prince's treasures, why not let me handle them?"

"I will also cover the medical expenses for these injured people."

"How about I wait until the Fourth Prince comes looking for the horse, and then let him ask for it back?"

The swordsman looked up at Jiang Baiwei and was secretly surprised to see that she was a woman, but he still asked a question.

How can I trust you?

"You don't need to trust me. All you want is to use the horse to seek justice and pay back the money owed to this person."

"I'll give you the money!"

Jiang Baiwei smiled and touched her waist, but her smile suddenly froze.

Wait, why did she forget her purse when she went out?

Jiang Baiwei immediately looked embarrassed and could only look to Chen Changgeng for help.

Seriously... Miss, you're just putting on an act, but you expect me to pay for it? Is that appropriate?

"Mr. Chen, please help us! You don't want to see these innocent people die tragically, do you?"

Chen Changgeng rolled his eyes in anger. You might not be willing to part with him, but he is.

The Fourth Prince is a figure of immense status; how could I possibly afford to offend him!

If you forget about this, and tomorrow the Jiang family packs their bags and runs away, won't I be the one who suffers in the end?

"Knowing you is the worst thing that could have happened to me!"

Helpless, Chen Changgeng took out a hundred-tael silver note and handed it over.
