Chapter 231: Embroidered Dragons
The crowd gathered around the horse and two bodies lying in the muddy street grew larger, with people discussing animatedly. Someone holding a lantern shouted, “Quick, move the horse away to see if they can still be saved!”
Han Ruzi was greatly alarmed. He jumped off his horse and ran over, kneeling on one leg to examine them. Du Chuanyun and Prince Ying were pale, their condition unclear. The horse’s body twitched slightly – it wasn’t completely dead yet.
People came forward to lift the horse. As Han Ruzi stood up to help, someone pulled him away.
Prince Donghai whispered, “This isn’t something you should be doing.”
“You’re worried about that at a time like this?” Han Ruzi could barely contain his anger.
“Finding the culprit is more important than saving them,” Prince Donghai said, beckoning to several attendants to help with the rescue.
Han Ruzi suddenly calmed down. This was clearly an assassination attempt. While Prince Ying’s poor horsemanship was understandable, Du Chuanyun had grown up in the pugilist world and spent years on horseback – there was no way he would simply fall from his horse.
The assassin was likely still nearby, and Prince Ying and Du Chuanyun might not have been the only targets.
Han Ruzi looked around and suddenly spotted someone fleeing on horseback. “Yuan Zifan! He’s getting away!”
