kingly way

Chapter 40 Chapter 040
Ying Luo has already taken off his clothes, wearing old and greasy clothes, and painted a little black ash on his face, looking like a little beggar;

Now that he has something to eat and doesn't have to worry about being recognized by the people sent by the palace, he couldn't help laughing secretly;
Anyway, his purpose of going out this time is not very strong, but he is tired of staying in the palace, and wants to come out and go to Ju country to find his father;

Although Ying Luo was dressed in rags, his noble temperament, fair and delicate skin did not match the clothes on his body,
Walking on the road, passers-by looked at his pretty face curiously, and some thought he was the orphan of that down-and-out nobleman;
"It's worth it..."

Suddenly there was a rush of hoofbeats,

Ying Luo turned his head and saw a team of horses galloping towards him. A man who looked like an officer was riding a tall steed at the front, followed by five horses. On each horse sat four soldiers and a blue-clothed man. middle-aged people;

They galloped on horseback, looking as if they were in a hurry, and passers-by fled;
Ying Luo's eyesight is particularly good, and he felt that the man in blue looked familiar, and he just wanted to take a closer look...

"Yaya... Yaya..."

Suddenly, a woman's scream came from the opposite side.
Ying Luo followed the woman's voice and saw a child about five or six years old stumbling into the middle of the road, followed by a young woman;

Seeing the galloping cavalry, the young woman's face turned pale, her hands and feet were confused, and she desperately chased after the child...

Ying Luo was startled. He knew that if a child was trampled by a horse, he would be crippled if he didn't die. He subconsciously raised his hand holding the biscuit, and shot at the joint of the horse in front with the technique of projecting a silver needle;
The biscuits are very fast, making a "swoosh..." sound,

The officer in front also found the child, he pulled the rein tightly to rein in the horse and forced the horse to stop...

The horse made a long chirping sound,
Yingluo's biscuits hit the horse's joints as accurately as an arrow,

The steed suddenly felt a pain, neighed long and hard, and knelt down on the ground as soon as its front feet softened;

Ying Luo himself was also taken aback. He subconsciously projected a piece of sesame seed cake out of impatience, but he didn't expect it to have such a great power. This power was beyond his expectation;
In the past, he used the method taught by Dr. Han to shoot dead medicine corpses. This time, he shot the joints of the horse's feet with the method of shooting silver needles on his own initiative, and he shot the joints of the running horse accurately with sesame seed cakes. Of course, Ying Luo knew that , Shooting the joints of a horse is much easier than shooting the wings of a mosquito. This time, this method of shooting silver needles is applied to actual combat again, and it is also used in emergencies. It is just a piece of cake, but its power is beyond his surprise... …

The officer's martial arts is obviously not weak. When the horse fell to the ground, he jumped up, turned somersault in mid-air, and landed lightly beside the child, then picked up the child and jumped to the right, landed on the ground, and stabilized The coherent movements of the body appeared to be unrestrained and free, and the frightened audience beside him immediately applauded.

The next five people were different. Although they tightened the reins of the horses,
The first horse behind the officer still collided with the horse in front due to inertia, immediately fell to his knees, knocked him off the horse, fell firmly to the ground, and let out a cry of pain;

The other four horses neighed a few times, their front hooves lifted off the ground, their hind feet stood on the ground, their bodies stood upright, and they became a mess;
Four of the five men were good horse riders, and their martial arts were not weak. They stabilized the horse. After the horse's front hooves hit the ground, they let the horse circle in place, and then slowly stopped in the middle of the road;
Although they steadied their horses, the four of them were already out of breath, with thin sweat dripping from their foreheads.

The people next to him immediately gathered around.
"Changshi Lu?!"

Ying Luo finally saw the man who fell on the ground clearly, and exclaimed,
The person who fell to the ground was Lu Changshi who served Yingluo in the Palace of King Dan;

"It's good that the child is fine. In the future, we must take care of the child and not let him mess up. The road is very dangerous."

The officer carried the child back to the shocked young woman,
The young woman's face was already pale with fright. She cried and hugged the child tightly, as if she was afraid that he would run away again;
The other four soldiers immediately got off their horses, ran to Lu Changshi, and helped Lu Changshi who was still in shock from the ground;
Lu Changshi was also frightened and turned pale, crying;
'My mother must have sent Lu Changshi and the others to look for me, but they can't let them find me. '

Worried about being seen by Lu Changshi and the others, Ying Luo turned around and withdrew from the crowd.

The officer's horse struggled to its feet, limping and turning its body because of joint injuries;

'Just now my horse's front foot seems to be hit, who hit it? "

He looked in amazement at the shattered sesame seed cakes that fell on the ground. He was able to hit the joints of a running horse with the sesame seed cakes accurately. This person's martial arts is definitely very high. There is such a master in the capital?
The military looked around the crowd with sharp eyes, but found nothing unusual;
"It was that expert who helped me just now?"

The officer picked up the broken biscuits, looked at the onlookers and asked;
There was silence all around,
'In Ziling City, are there any people with such good martial arts? '

He thought for a moment, and turned;
"Changshi Lu, how is your injury? Can you still ride a horse? Do you want to go back for treatment?"

The officer walked up to Lu Changshi and said;

"Cough, no need, my injury is fine, the most important thing is to find the prince as soon as possible."

Lu Changshi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said;

"You take my horse back and exchange it for another one. We will rush over to find Shizi first, and you will come over later."

The officer looked around again, but he didn't see anyone suspicious. He knew that it was important to find the prince, and he didn't think too much about it. He exchanged horses with a soldier beside him, and told him to take the injured horse back to exchange.

The soldier pulled the wounded horse back, and the other five rode on the horse and continued to gallop forward...

Ying Luo watched them gallop away from afar, and let out a long breath.

He usually lives in the royal residence, and he has to think about spending money. It is natural that he didn't bring copper coins when he went out this time, but for him who went out alone, his board and lodging became a problem.

On the way, he ate some biscuits when he was hungry, and begged for some water when he was thirsty. The life of the poor turned out to be so sad.

During the day, when he was hungry, he also asked for something to eat besides eating biscuits.

At night, when he was sleepy, he found a grass shed and slept for a while,
'How nice it would be to have a horse and some copper coins! '

Sometimes he also flashed this idea, and it passed like this for another two days,
"It's impossible to go back. Now I don't even have money for food and lodging, let alone buy horses. If I go this way, I don't know how long it will take to get to the country of Ju. Now I don't even have the energy to practice. What should I do?" How about that?"

Ying Luo was thinking while walking, and he told himself that no matter how hard it was, he had to keep going; he finally understood the pain of not having a source of income.
