After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Jiang Ci'an kept thinking about the assassin tonight.

He had already made comprehensive deployments, not only increasing the defense force, but also ordering the patrol time of each general to be extended.

It’s just that the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, and no matter how many troops I have, it is difficult to resist the opponent’s cunning.

After thinking about it, Jiang Ci'an thought of someone.

After Xiao Yujing arrived at the hunting ground, Jiang Ci'an hurried to the prince's tent.

"Your Highness, General Jiang requests to see you."

Eunuch Wu was helping Xiao Yujing change her clothes when a young eunuch came in to deliver a message.

Jiang Ci'an?

Xiao Yujing put on his coat and said, "Announce."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Jiang Ci'an strode into the tent and bowed.

Xiao Yujing nodded, "Sit down."

Jiang Ci'an sat down at the lower seat.

"General Jiang, what are you doing here?"

"Your Highness, the number of dignitaries participating in the autumn hunt has increased by nearly one-fifth compared to previous years. In order to protect the safety of all the dignitaries, I have doubled the number of guards and strengthened patrols. But just in case..."

Jiang Ci'an gritted his teeth and said, "I would like to borrow one of your Jingwei for use."

Crown Prince Xiao Yujing has twelve secret guards, each of whom leads a group of Jingwei.

The twelve secret guards each have their own duties, and each of them is an elite trained by Xiao Yujing. No one knows what they do specifically because they only obey Xiao Yujing's orders.

The main task of the Twelve Jingwei is to protect Xiao Yujing's safety.

Hearing that he wanted to borrow Jingwei, Xiao Yujing looked at Jiang Ci'an.

General Jiang has been in the military camp since he was a child. He fought in the battlefield at a young age. He is brave and resourceful. Today he came to borrow the Twelve Jingweis.

Is something big going to happen?

Thinking about the recent changes in those people...

Jiang Ci'an lowered his head, and his back was already sweating.

If the prince investigates further, he will have to explain it clearly.

"Okay." Xiao Yujing's voice rang out.

Jiang Ci'an was stunned, then he felt relieved and let out a long sigh.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Burchi." As the prince's voice fell, a guard quietly appeared in the tent.

"For the next two days, you will follow the orders of General Jiang."

"Yes!" Burch responded.

The matter was settled, and Jiang Ci'an left Xiao Yujing's tent.

After coming out, Jiang Ci'an couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead, feeling a little scared.

It is said that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Looking at the Crown Prince's current aura, he is even stronger than the Emperor.

Jiang Ci'an left quickly to arrange for guards.

At three quarters past noon, everyone arrived at the square in front of the tent.

The women were waiting beside the platform, while the men were standing at the entrance of the paddock, leading their horses and waiting for instructions.

Jiang Ci Yan and Jiang Ci Jin were also among them.

Although Jiang Ci Yan was a civil servant, he learned the art of riding and archery from Duke Jiang since he was a child, and his level was even better than that of ordinary children.

He glanced at Feng Yijun from afar, his heart pounding with excitement, and he rarely felt the desire to compete.

Jiang Ci Jin's riding and archery skills were average, but when he thought of the roasted rabbit that Jiang Ruoli was thinking about, Jiang Ci Jin still had some confidence.

It’s just a rabbit, what’s so difficult about it?

Look at him hunting eight or ten.

Emperor Chengren ascended the high platform and the hunting ceremony officially began.

Beat drums, fire cannons, and release hawks.

As Emperor Chengren shot the first arrow, the autumn hunt officially began.

The eldest prince, Xiao Yuyan, was at the front, shouting to Emperor Chengren: "Father, look, I will hunt the biggest one for you!"

Emperor Chengren was in high spirits and said loudly, "Okay! Everyone, go ahead and hunt. If you catch anything good, I will reward you handsomely!"

The eldest prince jumped on his horse, and with a shout of "Gee", he rushed out first.

The sons of various officials followed closely behind.

The autumn wind blew hard, a cloud of dust rose, bows and arrows clanged, the men of Dacheng were unrestrained and the sound of horse hooves soon disappeared into the jungle.

Emperor Chengren's health has been deteriorating in recent years, and coupled with the long journey today, he felt a little tired after shooting this arrow.

So he told the female members of the family not to be restrained and to have fun as much as they wanted.

Everyone knelt down and respectfully sent the emperor off.

Concubine Jia stepped forward and helped Emperor Chengren down from the high platform.

Emperor Chengren smiled and patted her hands, "You should go and have fun too. It's a rare opportunity to leave the palace and relax."

"I obey your order." Concubine Jia laughed sweetly, her expression lively and her voice gentle and pleasant.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, saying that she was worthy of being the favorite concubine of the current dynasty to receive such care from the emperor.

Jiang Ruoli raised her head slightly and looked in the direction of Concubine Jia.

But after Emperor Chengren turned and left, Concubine Jia picked up the handkerchief on the tray next to her, wiped the back of her hand vigorously, and threw the handkerchief into the trash can beside her.

The hand that Concubine Jia was wiping was the same hand that Emperor Chengren had clapped just now.

Are you disdaining Emperor Chengren?

Jiang Ruoli lowered her head, feeling surprised and confused.

After Emperor Chengren left, Concubine Jia regained her superior expression and said indifferently:

"I am a little tired too, you guys go and have fun by yourselves."

After saying this, he stood up and left with the help of the palace maid.

"Farewell to the noble concubine."

As soon as Emperor Chengren and Concubine Jia left, the atmosphere in the venue became lively.

Feng Yijun asked Jiang Ruoli: "Did my sister arrange a suitable horse this time?"

"My third brother prepared a pony for me," Jiang Ruoli pursed her lips, "but I don't know how to ride it."

Feng Yijun was a little surprised. Dacheng did not restrict women from learning horse riding and archery, so most young ladies in the capital knew how to ride a horse.

What's more, Jiang Ruoli is the daughter of General Jiang, Duke of Jiang. Logically, her riding and archery skills should be better.

But when I think about how Jiang Ruoli used to be timid, I can understand her.

Thinking of this, Feng Yijun said softly: "It's okay, riding a horse is very simple, I will teach you later."

Jiang Ruoli was a little looking forward to it.

But after seeing the horse, the anticipation in my heart turned into fear.

She is afraid of heights and has an instinctive resistance to anything with her feet off the ground.

Two young stable boys came over leading two horses, one red and one white.

"Ms. Feng, this is your horse. Its name is Chi Ling."

When Feng Yijun saw the chestnut pony, he liked it very much and took the carrot from the horseman's hand and started feeding it.

"Miss Jiang, this is the horse that Young Master Jiang prepared for you. It's named 'Xue Ai'." said another young stable boy.

Jiang Ruoli looked at the snow-white pony in front of her. Although it was not particularly tall, its fur was smooth and bright white without any other colors.

Even a layman like her could tell at a glance that this horse was extraordinary.

but......

"Xue Ai" suddenly snorted.

Jiang Ruoli was startled.

Otherwise she should just forget it.

Feng Yijun had already coaxed her horse into submission by this time, and she stepped on the stirrups and turned over, her movements quick and decisive.

Seeing Jiang Ruoli hesitating, Feng Yijun consoled her: "Don't be afraid, sister. The ponies here are very gentle. Just feed them and cultivate their relationship."

The groom next to her also advised: "Miss, don't worry. Xue Ai is gentle and won't hurt anyone."

Jiang Ruoli swallowed her saliva, plucked up the courage to pick up a carrot and fed it to "Xue Ai"'s mouth.

Perhaps sensing Jiang Ruoli's fear, "Xue Ai" gently took a bite of the carrot in her hand.

Jiang Ruoli breathed a sigh of relief.

"laugh."

There was a scoff from behind.

Jiang Ruoli turned around and saw Princess Yuyao riding on a horse in a fiery red outfit, looking down at her.

Suddenly I had a headache.

"Are you Jiang Ruoli?" Xiao Yuyao asked.

Jiang Ruoli saluted respectfully, and Feng Yijun also hurriedly dismounted from his horse to salute.

"Your humble servant pays respect to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Xiao Yuyao looked at Jiang Ruoli.

In the palace, she heard Princess Ningyang praising Jiang Ruoli for her bravery in Baixiang Tower and thought she was a courageous person. She didn't expect that she was afraid to even ride a horse.

"Tch, coward."

Xiao Yuyao snorted coldly and rode his horse into the woods.

Jiang Ruoli felt helpless. It seemed like she didn't provoke her.

This little ancestor really attacks indiscriminately.

Feng Yijun asked worriedly, "Sister, are you okay?"

Jiang Ruoli shook her head and saw the women around her riding their horses towards the paddock one after another.

"Sister Feng, you should go play soon too. I can practice on my own in the inner court."

Feng Yijun was a little worried, but Jiang Ruoli insisted that she could do it, so he had no choice but to jump on the horse and gallop into the paddock.

Jiang Ruoli looked at "Xue Ai" and took a deep breath.

Others riding horses looks easy...

Well, let her try.

She didn't believe it yet.

A quarter of an hour later.

Jiang Ruoli took great effort to finally sit on the horse's back, but she hugged the horse's neck tightly and refused to let go.

Mom, she gave up.

This is too high!

"Xue Ai" was also speechless and felt a little suffocated.

The young stable boy standing by felt helpless.

But no matter how he tried to persuade her, Jiang Ruoli just closed her eyes tightly and refused to let go.

Xiao Yujing had just walked out of the tent and saw the scuffle from afar.

A pause in his steps.

This is again...

What are you doing?
