Those who have witnessed the Battle of Kunlun Pass know that the momentum of a galloping horse cannot be withstood by human flesh.

  Pedestrians on the street hastily dropped their baskets and threw away their shoulder poles, avoiding both sides of the road. Some careless parents even abandoned their babies in the middle of the road.

  That little boy was only two or three years old, and he was intently holding a piece of rice cake to eat, still unaware of what had happened.

  And that galloping horse was now less than three zhang away from him.

  Without hesitation, the three of them rushed towards the child together. Chen Ke was the closest and with a swift movement, he pushed the child out of the way and rolled to the ground himself, trying his best to avoid the fierce horse.

  Who would have thought that the horse, two steps in front of him, suddenly leaped into the air. All he heard was a loud "whoosh" sound, and Chen Ke only saw a red shadow pass over his head.

  When he looked again, the red horse was on all fours, and there was a woman in a green tunic on its back. She held the reins tightly, didn't even glance at Chen Ke, and galloped away.

  "Bastard!" The brothers rushed up to him and saw that he had already jumped up, pointing in the direction where the horse had disappeared, jumping and scolding loudly.

  The people on the side of the road also came to their senses and loudly accused: "Lucky to have run fast, otherwise you would have been taken away by the officials!", "Remember this horse, next time we see it, report it to the officials!" "Right, can't just let it go like this!

  Chen Ke hated this kind of 'seventy-eight scoundrel' the most in his previous life, but the other party had already disappeared, and he could only fiercely spit out a mouthful. He turned around viciously and glared at the parents who had returned to their child's side: "How do you take care of your child?" Looking at the child again, except for being scared and crying loudly, he hadn't suffered any injuries. Chen Ke scolded them harshly: "Are there such parents like you?"

  The couple was shocked and frightened, feeling ashamed, could only hold their child, repeatedly saying: "Thank you, benefactor..."

  "Thanks for nothing! Take better care of the kid from now on!" Chen Ke was also startled and silently scolded himself: "This impulsive stinky habit, when will it ever change?! Just now, even if that horse hadn't jumped up, he felt like he could have dodged it, but what if there had been a mistake... This is truly a die-hard unrepentant attitude.

  After calming down a bit, he patted the dirt off his body and cursed: "Damn it, the bookcase is all smashed..."

  The people on the side of the road looked at each other in dismay. This gentleman was clearly a scholar, so why did he speak so... coarsely?

  "It doesn't matter, our store will give the martyr the best coffin!" But don't worry, Tokyo people are most generous to martyrs. The owner of a nearby coffin shop immediately patted his chest and said: "Large capacity, fully functional, beautiful style, sturdy and durable..."

  He's not just the owner of a humble box store. When they see that his clothes are tattered, the owners of the garment stores, boot stores, hat stores, belt stores, and even perfume stores all rush to offer him their finest attire.

  Chen Ke was confused: "Why are you guys sending me stuff?"

  "If no reward for the righteous, then fewer righteous deeds will be done." A merchant-like fellow smiled and said: "Scholar, you go ahead, when you come back we'll treat you to wine." The people of Bianjing on the side all had an air of it being a matter of course.

  Chen Ke was bewildered and confused, dressed up from head to toe in new clothes, with flowers pinned on his head and perfume sprayed all over his body, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

  Then he was pulled by the merchant and several elders to go drinking.

  Not long after he left, the street returned to its original appearance and became bustling again. After about a short while, that chestnut horse which had galloped away into the distance came back from where it had gone.

  People who have experienced such a scene suddenly became tense, fortunately this time the horse walked rather than ran.

  Look, the horse is being led by a tall and slender girl in green clothes. Behind her, there are several girls with bobbed hair and dressed in plain clothes, as well as a group of maidservants and houseboys, who are also leading several other small horses.

  Just by looking at this scene, it's clear that they're from a wealthy and influential family... Not to mention the servants and maids, just this chestnut red horse alone would be a limited edition Ferrari in later generations. And with those robust and sturdy slaves added on top, it's really enough to make common people dare not speak out in anger.

  Of course, everyone can glare at them with contempt.

  She stopped in her tracks, threw the reins to a servant and, with a rather masculine gesture, bowed to the crowd with a clenched fist: "I startled the horse just now, I'm afraid I've startled all of you!" Her voice was as clear and melodious as pearls falling onto a jade plate.

  "...". The crowd fell silent in response.

  The woman knew that the crowd was in silent protest, and she clenched her fist again: "Excuse me, was anyone injured just now? Where did that child go? And where did the man who saved him go?"

  It wasn't until then that someone replied, "Consider yourself lucky that no one was hurt. The child has already been taken away by his family. As for the good Samaritan, he's been invited by the officials to go have a drink. With so many wine houses in Bianjing City, who knows which one he went to?"

  "Please help me find them." The woman said in a crisp voice: "There must be a way!"

  At this time, a girl behind her whispered: "Sister, nothing's wrong with anyone, let's go back." Being stared at by contemptuous eyes wouldn't make one feel comfortable anywhere.

  "Yes, yes, let's go back." The other girls also whispered to persuade her, but unexpectedly, the woman in green clothes turned around and glared at them fiercely. She was originally a head taller than those women, and she had a pair of phoenix eyes, which made the girls shrink their necks together and dare not make another sound.

  At this time, the street officer in charge of this area came over and asked them to go to the patrol pavilion to make a record... When the matter of running horses on the street had already been reported, they were worried that they couldn't find the perpetrator, but they took the initiative to surrender.

  "You all go back first." The woman in green clothes glanced at the crowd of unwilling girls and said lightly, "I'll go myself."

  Meanwhile, Chen Ke and others, after having enough wine and food, were led by a young man who volunteered to be their guide. He took them out of the Zhuque Gate east wall, across the Longjin Bridge south, past the Imperial Academy, and then there was a horizontal street. Five li south of the street, it was all large areas of civilian residences, with streets and alleys crisscrossing inside, like a net. If not for this young native of Bianjing leading them, they might have really been unable to find that old bridge alley hidden deep within.

  "We're here." He led them to the second door inside and said, "Call out and see if it's right or not. If not, we'll look again."

  One called out at the gate, and the one who opened it was a pretty maid servant. She looked at this group of uninvited guests and said: "Who are you looking for?"

  "Excuse me, is this the residence of Chancellor Chen?"

  "Yes, who are you?"

  "We are his family" Chen Ke and this group of bandits naturally wouldn't keep quiet: "Who are you again?"

  "Wait a moment, you." The female servant was greatly embarrassed, and she curtsied before turning around to enter the house. She said to a woman sitting in the hall, "Madam, there are several men outside who claim to be relatives of the official. Should we let them in or wait for the official to return?"

  "You won't let others in either." The woman who was called the wife, was a beautiful young woman with bright eyes and white teeth, and a face as smooth as jade. She had a Yang Fei hairstyle, with golden phoenix hairpins on her temples, wearing a lotus-colored embroidered skirt with gold thread patterns. Due to the cold, she also wore a red cloud-patterned cloak with rolled edges, looking radiant and resplendent, noble but not arrogant.

  The girl turned around and almost bumped into Gorō's chest, startling her so much that she jumped back, staring at the unexpected visitors with wide eyes.

  The woman smiled slightly and said: "I suppose you are Sanlang, Silang, Wulang and Liulang?"

  "Yes." Chen Ke sang a song and said: "Haven't asked for advice yet?"

  "My surname is Cao, and I'm a friend of your father's. You can call me Aunt Cao." The woman had a faint blush on her face, but she smiled politely: "Come in quickly and sit down. Now that you're home, why don't you put down your luggage?"

  Without waiting for orders, several maids who were standing by in the house went to fetch Chen Kui's trunks.

  "You haven't eaten yet." The woman then instructed the maid: "Immediately go to the restaurant and order a table of dishes."

  "No need to trouble you, we've already eaten." Chen Ke and the others were all about to burst with anger, yet couldn't bring themselves to speak up, so they could only sit down first before saying anything.

  "We were just guessing, you guys won't come until next month... I was just calling someone to clean the house for you, didn't expect you to arrive so suddenly." The woman also felt a bit embarrassed, she hadn't expected to run into these people, and it wasn't clear what was going on.

  Both sides ate tea and spoke awkwardly, with a few words here and there, just passing the time, waiting for Chen Xiliang to come back, so they could each go their separate ways.

  A cup of tea, Chen Xiliang, who received the news, rode a donkey back and smiled at his sons: "I'm here. Let me introduce you to my good friend, call her Aunt Cao."

  "Hey......" doesn't mean nothing was said...

  "Yunxi, you go back first." Chen Xiliang turned to the woman and said: "Wait for me to settle them down, then I'll invite you over."

  "A big man like you can't be left unattended, I'll have Lan Pei and Lan Hui stay here." The woman who should be Cao Yunxi got up with a red face and said: "I'll go back first, if there's anything just let me know."

  "Uh-huh." Chen Xiliang nodded. A house full of young people got up to see her off: "Auntie, come visit us often..."

  "Wait, wait..." Although the woman's aura was already not weak, these six or seven feet tall men, each with a strange smile on their faces, would be unbearable for anyone.

  As soon as Cao Yunxi left, Chen Ke and others shifted their strange smiles to Chen Xiliang's face. Song Duanping smiled and said: "Uncle Chen, is this the stepmother you found for them?"

  "Don't spout nonsense." Chen Xiliang glared at him, his old face flushing red as he continued, "Anyway, let's just say that was the plan - to get you two to meet and then get married, but for now..."

  "Wow......" Chen Ke and the others suddenly gained energy, ignoring their travel fatigue, and asked excitedly: "What identity, looks very noble?!"

  "But noble air" Chen Xiliang couldn't help but smile wryly, thinking to himself, the emperor's little aunt, how could she not have a noble air?
