Chapter 127: Pure and beautiful

When Liu Jin heard this, he looked at the sesame cake stall.

The price was half cheaper than in Zhuo Commandery; after all, Luoyang was stable and the capital of the imperial court, so it naturally couldn't be compared with other commanderies.

Moreover, with no bandits causing trouble, society was stable, and food prices were naturally cheaper than elsewhere.

Liu Jin led the people around him, strolling leisurely along the street, occasionally buying some local specialties of Luoyang City.

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out, and the surrounding common people screamed and scattered to both sides.

A carriage was seen rushing towards them, the coachman's face pale, waving his whip and shouting!

"Quick, quick, move out of the way!"

"The horses are startled!"

The carriage was seen hurtling wildly towards them.

When Liu Jin saw this, he raised an eyebrow and immediately wanted to get out of the way.

But then he looked at the crowd of common people behind him; if the carriage crashed into them, there would probably be many casualties.

He hesitated for a moment, then commanded!

"Yun Chang, you and I will stop this carriage."

Guan Yu nodded upon hearing this, immediately flexing his muscles.

The carriage was seen rushing towards them relentlessly.

As the carriage was about to pass, Liu Jin and Guan Yu, without any hesitation, reached out and directly pulled on the reins.

With a terrifying force, the runaway horse was pulled, its front hooves immediately rearing high, and its head involuntarily bent slightly.

A neighing sound was heard!

Even so, the galloping speed still dragged Guan Yu and Liu Jin several meters forward before they finally came to a stable halt.

After the horse was reined in, Liu Jin loosened the reins in his hand.

The coachman on the carriage had a look of terror on his face, even still somewhat startled.

But seeing his horse stopped by two strong men, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Liu Jin and Guan Yu beside him, he quickly clasped his fists and respectfully said!

"Thank you, two brave warriors, for saving us."

Liu Jin nodded upon hearing this, not bothering with the matter; since the runaway horse was stabilized, he had no intention of staying here.

He immediately led Guan Yu, Zhao Teng, and the others, preparing to leave.

Just then, the curtain of the carriage was pulled aside, revealing a pair of flawless white jade hands, followed by an exquisitely perfect face.

Rosy lips, curved willow-leaf eyebrows, and a fair complexion gave others a gentle and elegant sense of beauty.

Her lips parted slightly, and a clear, pleasant voice came through!

"Gentlemen, please wait a moment."

Liu Jin was about to step away when he heard the voice and turned to look.

A woman, dressed in a light green gauze dress, was seen stepping down from the carriage, supported by a maid.

Looking at her pure and beautiful face, he couldn't help but secretly praise her.

Since he had arrived in the Han Dynasty, this was only the second time he had seen such a beautiful woman.

Of course, the first time was Lady Zhen, whom he had seen at the Zhen Family; that kind of beauty was one of mature charm.

This woman before him possessed a beauty that was docile, proper, and well-educated; there was a significant difference between the two.

If he had to choose, Liu Jin still preferred the mature Lady Zhen.

The woman who had stepped down originally wanted to thank these men for their help.

If the carriage hadn't been stopped and it had crashed into the crowd, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

But when she saw Liu Jin dressed in brocade robes, with a silver seal and green ribbon at his waist, she was slightly stunned.

She had originally thought that the people before her were just some rich young masters walking on the street, who had offered their help.

She never expected that the leader was actually an official of two thousand shi.

Moreover, his appearance was so young, which made her a little dazed for a moment.

However, she quickly returned to normal, her fair face showing respect, and she said softly!

"The daughter of the Yin Family greets this nobleman."

"Many thanks to this nobleman for helping today, otherwise, this humble girl would have been to blame."

Liu Jin heard this and felt no surprise; this woman was graceful, gentle, and virtuous, so she must have come from an extraordinary background and naturally could recognize the silver seal and green ribbon at his waist.

His face remained calm, and he said with a smile!

"It's nothing, merely a small effort."

"Besides, as an imperial official, I naturally have to help when I see danger."

Miss Yin heard this, and a look of surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes; her gaze towards Liu Jin held a hint of approval.

One must know that a carriage was charging towards them, and a slight mistake could have been life-threatening, yet in the eyes of this nobleman, it was merely a trifle.

It seemed that this young nobleman was different from other noblemen.

His clear voice continued to come through!

"Miss Yin, if there's nothing else, I shall take my leave first."

After saying this, Liu Jin immediately led Guan Yu, Zhao Teng, and the others, preparing to depart.

Miss Yin heard this, hesitated for a moment, and quickly called out!

"May I ask, nobleman, if you would be so kind as to tell me your name, so that my father may visit to express his gratitude for saving my life today?"

Liu Jin heard this, but without turning his head, his voice slowly came out!

"Liu Wenyi."

Miss Yin heard this, her beautiful eyes dazed for a moment, and her lips muttered to herself!

"Liu Wenyi, this name sounds so familiar; I seem to have heard it somewhere, but I can't recall it at the moment."

After thinking for a moment, she found no clue and shook her head.

Looking at the departing figure, Miss Yin's lips pouted slightly!

"Hmph~"

"This young nobleman is truly aloof."

She couldn't help but wonder if her beauty was no longer enough.

Other noble young masters would have burning eyes upon seeing her, wishing they could chat with her more.

In contrast, this man merely glanced a few times and then calmly left.

She saw the surrounding common people pointing and discussing what had just happened.

Seeing this, Miss Yin had no intention of showing her face in public; supported by her maid, she re-entered the carriage.

Under the coachman's direction, the carriage slowly proceeded straight ahead, heading towards a mansion within the city.

After leaving this street, Liu Jin took Guan Yu and the others for a stroll, but the several gentlemen eventually found it a bit boring.

They decided to return to the inn where they were staying and began to read some military strategy books, to increase their knowledge for future use on the battlefield.

Yin Family Mansion!

In the main hall, a dignified middle-aged man was seated at the head, holding a teacup and drinking tea.

His eyes were slightly narrowed, as if he was deep in thought.

Just then, footsteps sounded, and Miss Yin, with a smile on her face, quickly walked in!

The middle-aged man seated in the hall, upon seeing his daughter return, his thoughtful expression instantly vanished, and with a smile, he asked!

"Yue'er, did you enjoy your outing to admire the flowers outside the city today?"

Yin Yue heard this and looked a bit helpless, muttering!

"Father, everything was fine at first, but after entering the city, the horses were startled and bolted wildly, almost charging into the crowd."
