Chapter 194: Unforeseen Events at the Banquet 4 (2/2)

The commander of the imperial guards suddenly narrowed his eyes, and shouted, “It's gunpowder. Dodge quickly!”

“Yes, sir!” Imperial guards hurriedly looked for shelters here and there. The civil officials, aristocratic women, and girls protected by them also hurriedly trotted after them. The whole square fell into disorder again.

Wooden snakes suspended in the sky from top to bottom. ‘Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh’ came the sound from the wooden snakes while they recklessly threw down gunpowder to bomb the square frantically.

Under the protection of guards, the Emperor and Empress rapidly entered a relatively safe corner.

Murong Xue, Ouyang Shaochen, Yuan Fangfei and Mu Liufeng also took quick steps to shield themselves behind a stone wall. Through the carved interspace on the stone wall, they looked out quietly.

Gunpowder was thrown onto the square one after another. High stages, golden chairs and tables were blown up; fruits were scattered on the ground; and the whole square was blasted into chaos.

Murong Xue frowned as a response. She was about to speak when a package of gunpowder was thrown down to the stone wall where they hid.

“Watch out!” Ouyang Shaochen’s guard was up in an instant. He stretched out his arms and pulled Murong Xue towards him. Then he suddenly flicked his jade-liked fingers, and his powerful internal force was violently shot to the gunpowder package.

“Bang!”, came the explosive sound of the gunpowder package from the above, which was deafening. Heads and bodies of those people were scattered with smoke dust and debris.

Being in a towering rage, Yuan Fangfei waved her hands so as to scatter smoke dust quickly, and cursed in rage, “What a ruthless bastard! Neither did we rob away his wife, nor did we dug up his ancestral graves. Why did he send so many ghosts and wooden snakes to encircle and suppress us. It seems that he will not stop until all of us are slaughtered .”

Mu Liufeng looked up at the dense wooden snakes in the sky, and slightly squinted his charming eyes.
