On the official road, two swift horses galloped past, carrying a girl in green and another in white. Both were exceptionally beautiful and carried themselves with a heroic air.
Suddenly, another horse came running from the opposite direction, its rider, a man in a white robe, lay prone, his clothes almost completely soaked in blood, dripping onto the ground, his life hanging by a thread.
Witnessing this, Chu Qingzhi and Ge Lihua instinctively stopped.
With a gentle gesture, Chu Qingzhi summoned a bamboo leaf to her hand and with a light blow, the oncoming horse also came to a halt.
They dismounted and approached the man.
The man's horse was restless, shifting uneasily and flicking its tail in distress.
Chu Qingzhi gently stroked the horse's head, calming it down.
When Ge Lihua saw the man's jade pendant, her eyes narrowed. She quickly lifted the man's hair and shouted in disbelief, "Senior Brother."
