The next morning, Li Cheng went to look for Ji Yunshu.
Just as he was about to knock, the door suddenly opened.
Song Zhi was about to leave with a thick and yellowed book under his armpit.
Because he lowered his head, he almost bumped into Li Cheng.
When he raised his head, he was startled.
"Prince Cheng? Why … why are you here? "
Li Cheng stretched his neck to look inside and asked, "Where are they?"
"No."
"Not here?"
"He went out early in the morning."
"Out? Where did he go?"
Song Zhi shook his head. "I'm not sure. It seems like... he's looking for something."
"Looking for what?" Li Cheng was elated. Could it be that his sister was right? He then stared at the bookworm in front of him and asked, "Where are you going?"
Song Zhi replied, "I'm going to take a walk on the streets. I'm planning to buy a few books to read. I feel like I'm lacking in knowledge. It's time for me to learn more."
"Oh! Then you go buy the book, I'll go in and wait for them. "
"Hmm …"
Before Song Zhi could react, Li Cheng directly walked past him and entered.
It was as if he was at home.
Of course, Song Zhi wasn't in a position to say anything. He could only say, "Then, when Prince Cheng leaves, remember to close the door for me."
Li Cheng smiled. "This place is so remote and there's nothing important inside. Even thieves wouldn't want to come here."
Song Zhi: "…"
He stood there in a daze.
After a while, he said, "The things aren't expensive, but they're all very precious! I still have a few books in my room, but they are no longer available on the market. Someone bought them from me and even offered a high price, but I couldn't bear to part with them, so I kept them with me. If a thief really broke in and stole my books, then I … "
Before he could finish, Li Cheng raised his hand and interrupted him. With a face full of disdain, he said, "Stop, stop, stop. I got it. I'll definitely close the door for you when I leave. You can rest assured now, right? Hurry up and go buy books. If you're late, they'll be bought by someone else. "
"Prince Cheng is right! I must hurry. "
"Go, go."
Song Zhi took the book and left.
Li Cheng was speechless. He was too lazy to talk to that bookworm.
He turned around and walked towards the hall, but before he entered, he paused at the door.
He looked around the room.
His face was full of disgust!
This place was so simple that there wasn't even a cup of tea.
It even had a sense of age!
He simply sat on the bench on the veranda beside the courtyard and waited.
It was a little cold.
He could only wrap his clothes tightly around himself.
Unbeknownst to him, Ji Yunshu, Jing Rong and Bai Yin were sitting in a tea house.
He ordered a few cups of tea.
Bai Yin's expression remained dark as she glanced down at the street below. She said to the two men opposite her, "I've asked around Gaoding yesterday. There's no one with the surname Cha, let alone Cha He."
No wonder he had so many things on his mind.
Ji Yunshu took a sip of tea.
"Could it be that the person called Cha He has already left Gaoding?"
"That's possible."
"But if that's the case, Third Master wouldn't have been so sure that we would come to Gaoding directly."
"But even Gao Ding doesn't have that surname," Bai Yin said. "Gao Ding is so big. We might not be able to find it in a day. Since we are already here, we should search carefully. Even if he really left Gaoding, we should still find a direction. We can't keep going around in circles. The longer we stay, the worse it will be for us.
。”
Bai Yin nodded.
After the three of them finished eating.
They left the teahouse.
They planned to continue their search.
The streets of Gaoding were crowded with people and students.
It was very lively.
Suddenly, the crowd in the distance began to move.
They ran to the sides and the front.
"Ah!"
"Run!"
The commoners fled.
What was happening over there?
A man shouted, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! All of you, get out of the way! "
At the same time.
The sound of hooves, horses neighing, and wheels rolling on the bluestone pavement could be heard.
It was very urgent.
It was getting closer and closer.
As the crowd was pushed apart, Jing Rong and the other two saw a luxurious carriage speeding towards them out of control.
The horses seemed to be startled as they galloped at full speed.
Some people couldn't dodge in time and were knocked to the side by the carriage.
The surrounding stalls were flipped over one by one.
The entire street was in a mess because of the carriage.
It was a complete mess.
The people were screaming.
It looked like they were about to crash into more people.
Jing Rong and Bai Yin looked at each other, understanding each other's intentions.
Then, Jing Rong turned to Ji Yunshu and ordered, "Hurry and hide to the side."
Ji Yunshu nodded.
She retreated to the side.
Jing Rong and Bai Yin rushed in the direction of the carriage.
The coachman driving the carriage was scared out of his wits when he saw the horses trampling on so many people. Now, there were two people who were not afraid of death and were rushing towards them.
Were they trying to extort money?
Were they really going to run into the muzzle?
No matter how hard the coachman pulled on the reins, he couldn't stop the out-of-control horses.
The wild horses charged forward in a frenzy.
No matter what they hit, they wouldn't stop.
They just wanted to charge!
The coachman could only grab onto the seat of the carriage to prevent himself from falling too hard.
They saw —
The horses had already met Bai Yin and Jing Rong.
They were about to … collide!
Suddenly, the two of them leaped forward, each grabbing the ropes around the horses' heads.
The horses were hindered and their front hooves were raised high.
The two of them were still holding onto the rope tightly. As the horse's front hooves were raised high, they also pushed off with their feet. Their bodies made a complete somersault in the air, and when their feet landed on the ground, they exerted force with their wrists again, pressing down the horse that was out of control.
The horses' front hooves were forced to kneel on the ground.
As a result, the entire carriage tilted forward.
The coachman screamed and fell from the seat to the ground.
Four legs in the air.
Fortunately, he was fine!
But what he didn't expect was —
There was someone else in the carriage.
A pink figure rolled out of the carriage.
"Ah!"
The woman screamed in panic.
Her body was about to hit the ground.
When Jing Rong saw this, he let go of the reins and rushed forward to catch the woman.
He held her firmly in his arms.
The woman was at a loss.
She was even more panicked.
Her face was pale with fright.
She was still in shock.
She only calmed down when her feet touched the ground.
She hugged herself tightly in front of her chest.
When she raised her head, she was met with Jing Rong's stern, hawk-like gaze.
At that moment, the woman was stunned.
The man's face was deeply imprinted in her eyes.
When Jing Rong saw her strange gaze, he realized that he was still holding her.
He immediately let go.
He took a step back.
"Are you alright?"
The woman hugged herself tightly in front of her chest and looked at him with her beautiful eyes. She bit her lip and shook her head. "I'm fine."
Her voice was soft and there was a hint of fear in it.
The woman looked to be about seventeen years old.
