A guard chased into the alley on horseback.
With a silver needle, Gu Jiao knocked the guard off his horse. She then quickly mounted her own, as did Gu Chengfeng, who sat behind her.
Just then, Tang Yueshan arrived and lunged at them with a palm strike.
Gu Jiao spurred her horse to dash away, but it was a split second too late. The residual force of the strike hit Gu Chengfeng's back.
Gu Chengfeng spat out a mouthful of blood immediately.
His face twisted in agony. Why had he chosen to ride the same horse as her? Couldn't he have opted for another equally good horse?
The Marshal Residence's horses were indeed exceptional. Apart from the one Gu Changqing rode, the fastest horse Gu Jiao had ridden was this one.
The horse run fast, but its route was... awkward.
Seeing the horse seemingly running in a curved path, Gu Chengfeng inquired with a bewildered look, "Do you even know how to ride a horse?"
Honestly, Gu Jiao answered, "No."
"What?"
Gu Chengfeng was flabbergasted!
