All Novel Full Luo Qianqian frowned and steered her horse successfully, but an old man with a crutch stood transfixed in the middle of the street, he was too scared to move.
Luo Qianqian darted to the old man without hesitation, she managed to grab the old man’s arm and saved him from being trampled.
“Are you all right, senior?” Luo Qianqian dismounted from her horse and looked the old and down, trying to make sure he was all right.
The old man raised his head slowly, Luo Qianqian found it odd that this old man’s face was young in a mismatching way! She found it even more odd after she took a closer at that face, it was too plain to be remembered.
All of a sudden, the man’s eyes sparkled and he wielded a dagger, charging at Luo Qianqian.
Luo Qianqian shook her head resignedly, ‘I just saved this person, and he is here to kill me!’
Luckily, she had been practising martial arts hard recently, she grabbed the man’s hand with one movement and took hold of the dagger.
The old man turned around knowing he had failed already, he threw away the gray hair wig and blended in the crowd.
Luo Qianqian cut the man’s left arm, trying to leave a mark on him so that it would be easier to identify him.
The man groaned and continued walking in spite of the pain, soon he blended into the crowd.
Luo Qianqian tried so hard to recall what the man looked like, she was surprised that she couldn’t recall anything, plain features, plain clothes, he was such a perfect fit for his job.
She was glad that she had cut his left arm in desperation, at least she could identify him by that wound later on.
It happened so fast that the crowd didn’t have the chance to offer a hand.
Luo Qianqian mounted on her horse, she was determined to find that ‘old man’ and interrogate him who sent him.
‘Is it the empress? Is it some old acquaintance?’
Luo Qianqian was surprised that she had offended so many people in this time and space, she couldn’t even pinpoint who wanted to kill her.
Now the curtain on the carriage was lifted, a girl looked at Luo Qianqian with surprise.
It was Yue Qiqi.
Yue Qiqi soon gained her composure, “I can’t believe I’m seeing you here on the street.”
Luo Qianqian smiled slightly, she stared at the dagger in hand and wished there were fingerprint identification system in this time and space.
“Luo Qianqian, what a capable young lady you are! Hahaha, it looks like you have aroused a nest of hornets that even a stranger on the street you have saved is here to kill you.” Yue Qiqi gloated.
Luo Qianqian withdrew her gaze from the dagger, she shot a glimpse at Yue Qiqi, “Miss Yue, hmm,, it makes me wonder is it you who has sent that man?”
Yue Qiqi clenched her fists with a frown, “What nonsense you are talking about! I’m General Yue’s legitimate daughter, no way will I stoop so low!”
Luo Qianqian was sounding Yue Qiqi out, she knew Yue Qiqi was a very straightforward girl, she wouldn’t do anything under the table. She was the girl who had asked the emperor to betroth her to Murong Yun in public.
Yue Qiqi wouldn’t hire someone to kill Luo Qianqian, she would do it by herself, and she would admit it if she really had hired an assassin.
Luo Qianqian liked that about Yue Qiqi, she wouldn’t act one way to her face and another behind her back.
“I’m glad to here that!” with that Luo Qianqian whipped her horse and was ready to go.
Yue Qiqi fidgeted in the carriage, she envied Luo Qianqian because she could ride a horse, she was forced by her father to take a carriage despite she longed for riding a horse, and her father was worried about her future so he forced her…
“Hold on!” Yue Qiqi shouted at Luo Qianqian.
“What can I do for you?” Luo Qianqian turned around.
“What do you want to do after you find the man who tried to kill you?”
Luo Qianqian didn’t answer her.
Yue Qiqi chuckled slightly, “You can’t find him.”
Luo Qianqian was confused, “How can you be so sure?”
“I don’t think that man will hide in the city, chances are he has already left the city. Plus, what can you do if you really find him? Will your father support you?”
Even Yue Qiqi knew Prime Minister Luo wasn’t trustworthy, he only treated Luo Qianqian wit respect when he found her useful, most of the time he wasn’t in the least concerned about her and he would just let Luo Qianqian run her own course.
Plus Prime Minister Luo was busy looking for the perfect match for Luo Yuyan, he didn’t have time or energy for Luo Qianqian.
Luo Qianqian suppressed the laughter, she wasn’t counting on Prime Minister Luo, but she didn’t know why Yue Qiqi would point that out, “What are you implying, Yue Qiqi?”
Yue Qiqi replied, “I don’t have much to do today, and you are not hurt by that man, let’s have a bet, shall we?”
“What bet?” Luo Qianqian halted.
“You are riding a horse, I have a horse right here as well, a horse racing it is then. If you win, I will ask my father to find that man for you, my father is General Yue, I’m sure he can find that man in no time.”
“And what if you win?” Luo Qianqian felt like she knew where this is heading.
“If I win!” Yue Qiqi said it loud and clear, “If I win, you need to break up with Prince Eighth and you can’t sabotage the betrothal between him and me!”
What Yue Qiqi said was exactly what Luo Qianqian had expected, it looked like Yue Qiqi hadn’t given up on marrying Murong Yun.
And Yue Qiqi had her father General Yue to rely on no matter what would happen, but she had no one to rely on except Murong Yun.
“What do you say? Do you have the guts?” Yue Qiqi provoked.
Luo Qianqian stroked her horse, what Yue Qiqi said made sense, she didn’t need to bother Murong Yun if General Yue could help.
“All right, I will take that bet.” replied Luo Qianqian after she thought for a while.
Yue Qiqi beamed, she jumped out from her carriage and mounted on the horse.
It looked like Yue Qiqi was no stranger to riding horses, but Luo Qianqian was confident.
However, Murong Yun was standing not afar, he had seen what had just happened, ‘I’m the wager? What does she take me for?’
All of a sudden, Luo Qianqian felt like the temperature had dropped drastically, she turned around and she turned stiff on seeing Murong Yun.
