Meng Yunzheng walked over, leading his horse, and frowned as he watched the horse disappearing into the distance. "It's a courier soldier."
He carried a document bag on his back, most likely delivering urgent official documents. In this situation, even if they were run over and killed, it would be considered their bad luck, and the courier soldiers wouldn't be held responsible.
Zhao Xi sneered, "This courier soldier's horse riding skills are terrible. We specifically found a spacious place to stop and eat, yet he managed to run into us. The area ahead is narrow, if..."
He stopped mid-sentence, exchanged a glance with Meng Yunzheng, and whispered, "Could something happen?"
They were in front of a banished exile convoy, and the road shouldn't be spacious for them, especially with their large number of people and two mule carts. If the courier soldier continued to recklessly charge like earlier, something was bound to happen.
Meng Yunzheng's face slightly changed. If Shu Yu got off the carriage now, it would be fine since she was clever enough not to get hit. But if she was inside the locked prisoner wagon, it would be very dangerous.
Without hesitation, Meng Yunzheng leaped onto the horse and galloped away, holding the reins tightly.
"I'll go ahead and take a look. You find your own way to catch up."
After saying that, he disappeared without a trace.
Zhao Xi stood there in a daze, and a gust of wind blew. The hair hanging on his shoulders whipped against his face, causing him pain and making him howl, "Damn it, are you crazy? What do you mean by finding my own way to catch up? You've taken the horse away. How the hell am I supposed to catch up? Do you expect me to become a horse myself and pull the carriage to catch up? Come back, come back..."
Zhao Xi's desperate cry quickly dissipated in the whistling wind. There was no response from the person ahead, not even a trace of their figure.
Zhao Xi was in a terrible state. He turned his head and looked at the pot of food and dishes that had fallen to the ground, feeling a heartache that made it hard for him to breathe.
After a while, he muttered with a sigh, "Someone who values personal relationships more than friendships."
However, Meng Yunzheng was completely disregarding him at the moment. He had already heard the screams of panic from ahead.
Sure enough, the Shu family's exile convoy had been struck.
The Shu family had just finished their midday meal and was preparing to set off. When they started walking on the official road, the courier soldier came galloping on his horse.
The courier soldier started shouting from a distance, "Urgent official documents, no delays. Make way quickly ahead, or those who obstruct will die."
The Shu family members turned around in shock and hurriedly retreated, desperately trying to dodge to the side.
While they managed to avoid the collision temporarily, the two mules in front couldn't react in time.
The head official was driving Shu Yu's cart, and he skillfully turned the mules and moved to the side.
However, the other cart couldn't do the same. The driver panicked and failed to avoid the collision, causing Hou Shi and Sixth Miss to fall off the cart.
The cart immediately crashed into the one in front, and the mules that were previously calm became agitated. Not only did they move forward, but they also blocked the courier horse that was galloping towards them from behind.
The courier horse tried to stop, but it was too late.
Despite both sides pulling on the reins with all their might, the courier horse still collided with the mules.
Courier horses were known for their strength and vigor, especially when they had urgent documents to deliver. They were different from ordinary horses.
Naturally, the mules were at a disadvantage.
Indeed, the next moment, one of the mules let out a scream of pain and suddenly kicked its hooves, bolting forward.
