The Three Spirit Stones

Every March, Xiongzhou people would organize a boat race on the Baigou River to worship the water god, and Liao people on the other side of the river would also come to watch.

Therefore, the banks of the Baigou River have been bustling with activity these days, as people are preparing for the various matters related to the sacrificial activities.

An ordinary horse-drawn carriage passed through the villagers who were dressing up for the boat race and slowly drove towards the dock. There were several guards in front and behind the carriage. It seemed that they were the women of a wealthy family.

Inside the car, Ah Cai was folding her arms and complaining to Yelu Yuan who was sitting opposite her.

"Can't you get a Flying Horse? This one makes me want to throw up my breakfast."

Yelu Yuan said helplessly, "Your Feichi brand carriage is not available even if you have money. There are only a few dozen of them in the entire Song Dynasty. How do you want me to get one?"

"Do I have to ride in this carriage all the way to the grassland?"

"That's not true,"

"...,"

"You can still ride a horse,"

"what?!"

Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead, and people rushed to watch. The road was immediately blocked.

Yelu Yuan sent someone to see what happened. The guard went for a while and came back to report that two villagers who were participating in the boat race had quarreled over trivial matters.

She frowned and ordered the carriage to pull over, and summoned all the secret guards in foreign uniforms to guard the carriage.

The quarrel in front seemed to be getting more and more intense. More and more villagers from both sides joined in the quarrel, and more and more people gathered around to watch the quarrel.

Yelu Yuan felt something was wrong and was about to order the car to turn around and go back the same way.

At this point, the quarrel escalated into a fight. Dozens of people pulled out sticks, oars, and bamboo poles and started fighting.

The onlookers fled in all directions, and the crowd suddenly filled the area around the carriage, making it unable to turn around. The scene was filled with screams, curses, and the wailing of women. The secret guards around the carriage were also dispersed by the crowd.

Suddenly, with a whoosh, a cloud-piercing arrow shot up into the sky.

"kill……"

As the shouts of killing started, countless Xiongzhou officers and soldiers in disguise and undercover spies from the Jiyisi simultaneously drew their weapons and attacked the Liao guards.

The Liao people were unintentionally planning this, but they were suddenly at a disadvantage when they encountered this incident.

Yelu Yuan's pretty face suddenly changed, she was shocked and angry, she cursed inwardly, pulled out a sword from the carriage, dragged Ah Cai's hand and jumped out of the carriage to kill the crowd.

Suddenly, a silver light appeared, as agile as a flying dragon, like rippling water, and like a fire tree and silver flower, immediately killing the Song soldiers who intended to stop them.

The morale of the Liao guards immediately increased and they counterattacked together.

Ah Cai was dragged all over the place and screamed in fear. She felt as if her wrist was being clamped by an iron clamp and she couldn't get it free.

Just when she was in pain and fear, she suddenly heard a familiar voice calling her,

"Teacher Cai~"

Ah Cai looked around in the chaos and saw that it was her student Yang Yan. She shouted in panic,

"Xiao Yang?!!"

"Teacher Cai, lie down,"

Yang Zhi shouted and took out a crossbow from behind him. At the same time, dozens of people beside him also took out crossbows. The cold and shining arrows on the crossbows were pointed at Yelu Yuan and his group.

Ah Cai immediately responded and lay down.

Swish swish swish~

Crossbow arrows flew over her head and shot towards the Liao people.

“Ah, ah~”

Several Liao people behind him were shot with arrows and screamed in agony.

Yelu Yuan instinctively stepped back and let go of Ah Cai's hand.

She raised her sword and swung it several times. Ding-ding-dong-dong, all the crossbow arrows were knocked to the ground.

Yang Zhi took the opportunity to grab Ah Cai's arm and ran out with her. Yelu Yuan was about to chase after him, but fortunately a second batch of crossbow arrows came right after, stopping her steps for a moment.

Yang Zhi dragged Ah Cai and ran away desperately, but she couldn't run any further after running for a while.

She panted, waved her hands and shook her head, and said, "...No,...I can't run anymore."

"Teacher Cai, we have to run. The Liao people will catch up with us soon."

"...I...I am about to die,"

Yang Zhi was extremely anxious. He happened to see two horses tied up on the side of the road.

Very good!

He rushed over to untie the reins, then carried her onto the horse and stuffed the reins into her hands. He then rode on another horse and was about to gallop away when he saw Ah Cai still sitting there in a daze. He hurriedly said, "Teacher Cai, run faster. You don't have to wait for me."

After saying that, without waiting for Ah Cai to react, he poked the horse's butt with a crossbow arrow.

Whistle, whistle, whistle~

The horse felt the pain and suddenly ran away with all four hooves. Ah Cai was so scared that she almost lost her soul. She hugged the horse's neck tightly and screamed loudly.

"I can't ride a horse~~"

When Yang Zhi heard this, he was completely stunned.

what? ?

Teacher Cai doesn’t know how to ride a horse?

...No wonder the Marquis often takes her with him when they go out.

Oops!

He pedaled his horse and chased after him, and at this time Yelu Yuan also caught up on horseback.

The two horses were chasing after him. Yelu Yuan could see that Ah Cai didn't know how to ride a horse, and he couldn't help scolding her in his heart for being useless and not being able to ride a horse.

But no matter how much she is scolded, this woman must be saved.

She and Yang Zhi rode on either side of Ah Cai. Yang Zhi stretched out his hand to her and said, "Teacher Cai, please reach out your hand."

"Wow! I don't dare!"

"Hurry up, there's a cliff ahead!"

"Wow~"

Ah Cai screamed in fear, but she didn't dare to let go of the horse's neck.

Seeing the cliff in front of him, Yang Zhi's hair stood on end with fear. Just when he was at a loss, Yelu Yuan pressed his palms on the saddle and stood on the galloping horse. Then he jumped at the right time and sat behind Ah Cai.

She originally wanted to control the mad horse, but the cliff was so close that it was too late. She kicked Ah Cai's stirrups with her feet, hugged her and fell to the side. They both landed on the ground at the same time. The huge inertia made them roll continuously, and then they rolled uncontrollably towards the cliff. The mad horse also fell down.

At this critical moment, a pair of hands tightly grasped Yelu Yuan's collar.

It turned out to be Yang Qian, who was lying on the edge of the cliff, holding onto Yelu Yuan with both hands. Yelu Yuan held onto Ah Cai and pressed against the cliff wall, with his feet on the slightly protruding rocks.

Fortunately, the cliff was not very steep, but had a slight slope, and there were some protruding rocks, otherwise Yang Zhi would not be able to catch them at all.

Looking at the abyss below, Ah Cai was so frightened that her legs went limp. She was trembling all over and crying out instinctively.

"Husband, save me, where are you?"

"Wow~"

"If you don't want to die, don't scream or move."

Yelu Yuan gritted his teeth and said,

Ah Cai didn't dare to shout anymore. She looked down with tears in her eyes. It was bottomless and the horse was nowhere to be seen.

Just when I was about to ask what to do, I saw from the corner of my eye that the jade Guanyin statue on my neck was emitting a dazzling white light.

She had been hiding this jade Guanyin inside her clothes. Maybe she rolled on the ground just now and it fell outside her collar.

She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly wanted to slap herself a few times.

Why am I so stupid?

I can’t even remember it, is there water in my brain?
