Chapter 80 - Chapter 27 Encounter_2

"This is a carriage from your house? How can this be a carriage from your house? Little one... I truly didn't know, I also bought it from someone in the market with silver... it's not my fault!"

The two men looked cold, and one of them barked,

"You don't need to explain this to us, go see our Young Master. The Young Master will decide your fate!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out to grab Gu Shi Yi. Gu Shi Yi was greatly startled and dodged to the side, waving his hands continuously,

"Please hold on, big brothers, let's talk this out. I am an honest person, you can't just grab someone like this in the middle of the road!"

The man who had reached out grabbed at nothing and was momentarily stunned. He hadn't become suspicious yet, just thinking Gu Shi Yi had happened to dodge. But having been evaded so easily made the man lose face and become even more enraged; he shouted,

"You dare to dodge!"

As he spoke, he reached out to grab him again. Gu Shi Yi cried out in terror,

"Help! Save me! Someone is kidnapping people in broad daylight! Save me!"

This place was the official road of Li City, just five or six miles out from Twin Sages City. There were many pedestrians on the road. When he started shouting, the bystanders all turned to look, some of the more nosy ones already came over to see what was happening. Seeing this, Gu Shi Yi shouted louder,

"Quick, report to the officials! These two are trying to kidnap someone on the road, in broad daylight. Is there no justice left, no law of the land!"

She yelled and clamored. The two men had originally wanted to deal with the matter quickly, but they hadn't expected Gu Shi Yi to start making such a scene. Now that the issue would reach the ears of the noble's son, it was likely they would be punished!

Therefore, anger was evident on the faces of the two men as they both reached out to grab Gu Shi Yi. Gu Shi Yi let out a piercing scream, rolled off the carriage, and lay on the ground. She quickly flicked her fingers twice towards the underbelly of the horse's next to the men,

"Hiss..."

"Hiss..."

Both horses were startled and leapt up. The two men, caught off guard, were nearly thrown from their saddles. Fortunately, they had excellent riding skills and squeezed the horses' bellies with their legs to steady themselves. But doing so caused the horses more pain and they neighed out again. Immediately, they jumped around and unexpectedly turned and bolted toward the direction of Twin Sages City,

"Whoa..."

The men's arm muscles bulged as they pulled on the reins with force, but the horses, as if gone mad, galloped away...

At this time, Gu Shi Yi climbed up from the ground, knowing that she had incited trouble. She wanted to leave the carriage behind and flee but couldn't bear to abandon her old horse. She had no choice but to jump onto the carriage and fiercely whip the horse,

"Run! If you don't run now, we'll be doomed!"

Having been well cared for by her over these days, the old horse had regained some strength. With a smack on its rump, the horse neighed in pain and then set off at a gallop down the road. The pedestrians on the official road saw the carriage thundering past and were so frightened that they dodged to the sides of the road. The carriage kicked up a trailing cloud of dust as it raced away. Gu Shi Yi, after fleeing for two miles, saw a fork in the road and quickly turned the horse's head onto a side path. After running another two miles on this small road, she finally stopped the carriage.

Gu Shi Yi jumped down from the carriage and reached out to unfasten the old horse,

"It seems I can't keep this carriage!"

She hastily untied the old horse. Gu Shi Yi slung her bundle over its back, held the Big Boss with one hand, and grabbed the reins with the other. Then she sat on the bare back of the horse,

"Run!"

She patted the top of the old horse's rear, and with a low neigh, the horse started trotting forward. And at that moment, the sound of horse hooves approached from behind. Gu Shi Yi knew she was being pursued. Glancing back, she indeed saw the man leading the chase was the handsome man she had encountered before. Even from afar, she could see his face filled with murderous intent and a ferocious look. Alarmed, she patted the horse's behind again,

"Faster!"

The old horse neighed and galloped along the narrow path...

Meanwhile, poking her head out with difficulty from Gu Shi Yi's jerking chest, Li Yaner asked,

"Shiyi, Shiyi, why didn't you explain to him? Our involvement with their family's troubles has nothing to do with us!"

This carriage was abandoned in the mountains by the mountain bandits after they robbed it. At worst, we just picked it up to use. Couldn't we just explain ourselves clearly?

Gu Shi Yi let out a wry smile,

"Yanyan, you're too naive!"

Gu Shi Yi was no rookie to the Itinerant World. People from high-ranking families always did as they pleased. An ordinary person like her would have to avoid them even on a normal day, let alone getting involved in such an incident. Regardless of whether she was responsible or not, once they caught her, no matter what she said, they would lock her up and administer their own justice. A beating was inevitable!
