Chapter 40 – Sudden Thunderclap
The sound of a sharp arrow breaking through the air had never sounded so despairing That arrow split light with its afteri At a speed the physical eye had no way of seeing, it directly shot towards Meng Fuyao!
“Boom!”
At the saate suddenly exploded a treed over like the tide The leading general earing black armor and a yellow cloth, and his two streaks of eyebrows so long they connected together – it was precisely Fang Minghe
Qi Xunyi’s joy changed his face color, loudly shouting, “Minghe, you’ve come!”
Fang Minghe loudly laughed, that sound injected with soratulations Your Highness for succeeding!”
Hearing these words Qi Xunyi was instead startled, but before he had tihe had already flourished his sleeve while s, “On the road here, we’ve killed to our satisfaction!”
The very last third palace gate was almost a li away, yet even when separated by such a far distance, one could still smell the fresh blood of the soldiers’ iron ar intent that had strode over human heads to travel here!
It could be iht that Prince Qi had succeeded and charged through the palace gates to murder a path into the imperial city, how many corpses were strewn, how round, how many blazes of fire had started, and how many lives wept!
Fang Minghe e forward to the beautiful future of hi a senior official that followed the new E, nor the Yuan Zhaoxu beside hi his head
But Yuan Zhaoxu’s eyes were not on the great ar that arrow that he had shot at Meng Fuyao
The arrow arrived! In the air it whistled as it fleever right before it neared Meng Fuyao in ed a direction With a “pa ta” sound the arrowhead strangely dropped down, and the arrow body collided with Meng Fuyao’s horse
The steed felt pain, alloped and ju forwards all the way
Meng Fuyao was jolted so hard that her body couldn’t help but jerk up and down, and she clenched her teeth and tightly gripped the reins to not let herself be thrashed off the horse The violent galloping shook her until her whole body’s bones felt like they were going to fall to pieces Biting her lip, Fuyao struggled to tie the reins around her wrist, then exerted great effort to turn back her head on the horse, looking back at Yuan Zhaoxu
When she turned her head back, her scattered black hair flung out into a stretch of ink-colored brocade, covering over half of her face In between those silk thread strands shone out her eyes, co unclear
That gaze was like a bridge, in a blink passing across the chaotic hu a heavenly chasetfulness, and directly arrived at the other side
Before her was the roiling tide of iron aruards of Prince Qi; all the while, there was the still faintly s Yuan Zhaoxu His robes fluttered as he stood still where he was In a lift of his eyes he received the cohtly
A strand of sound trans to that person’s cale even in the face of Mount Tai collapsing
“Careful”
Fuyao’s heart thumped, after which she felt another jolt underneath her After falling to the ground, that arrow just then actually bounced up again, extreain The steed angrily neighed, raising its hooves and bringing Meng Fuyao with it as it sprinted out like lightning
With her body like it was in theand falling, and was carried by the horse directly rushi+ng towards the second gate When she saw the gate in front half opened due to Fang Minghe’s charge into the palace, saw the thousands of completely ar a sword guarding in front of the palace gates, a bit of a dismal emotion spontaneously arose in her heart – hey, how is it possible to charge out like this?
Striving to look back at Yuan Zhaoxu, even she didn’t realize that her eyes contained a strand of rarely seen misery
Yuan Zhaoxu raised his eyes and caleous Meng Fuyao, in an instant of danger, had revealed this kind of e quivered His srees, yet his eyes seeentleness
What she is afraid of, is not death …
The steed charged forwards Behind, Prince Qi waved his hand and the guards were about to chase, when Yuan Zhaoxu lightly said, “Prince, the Crown Prince looks like he has not escaped through the palace gates, you should intensify your search of the imperial city The people here need not be all stuck here”
Qi Xunyi’s face color was ashen, and he vacillated for a while Yuan Zhaoxu then said, “You personally bringing people to search for the Crown Prince is more appropriate, as for here … this subordinate can help you share the burden”
Qi Xunyi gave hi that this person was not that trustworthy either However right now Fang Minghe needed to uard the gates, and there was no one else he could use When he thought about his own troop strength that was ht now, and the area after area that one person was unable to co to search the palace, he also hurriedly sent a signal to let Fang Minghe dispatch a unit of uard base
“Then, it will be up to you Sir This pair of suspiciousthem”
Yuan Zhaoxu gave a laugh, replying, “Rest assured!”
