Chapter 446 - Something Happened (2/2)
“Then where are they now?” Ling Chuxi’s heart was slightly calmer. Among the five elders of the Ling family, Fifth Elder’s temperament was fiery and hated evil as if they were his enemies. His cultivation may not be the best but his experience of fighting other people had definitely far surpa.s.sed the other elders. Second Elder would be much safer with his company.
“They saw that we could not withstand anymore and ran away to the direction of Wu Yan City. You guys better hurry to save them. Second Elder was already heavily injured in order to send me away. He might not be able to hold on for long now.” Ling Yuanhong propped up his body worriedly and fell down heavily again after he had finished saying these words.
“Luo Li, I will hand him over to you. You must make sure that he survives.” Ling Chuxi said to Luo Li.
Although there were a lot of unpleasantries between the both of them previously, Ling Yuanhong was a descendant of the Ling family after all. He had risked his life this time to rush to the capital to seek for help, and he also had somewhat the guts of the Ling family’s sons. Ling Chuxi would not let him die just because she bore grudges of what had happened in the past.
The few of them dashed downstairs. Fu Chengyu had already ordered the servants to prepare the horses. This matter had happened because of him, so of course he would not keep himself out of it.
Three horses departed from the capital under the night skies. They headed quickly in the direction of s.h.i.+ Qu Town and left behind a string of crisp hooves sounds.
Normally the city gates had long been closed at this time. But as they saw the token in Fu Chengyu’s hand, the guards guarding the city immediately used their fastest speed to open the city gates. Actually even if without this token, as long as anyone saw these three people, who would dare not to let them through obediently?
These four people. Who among them was not Nan Xia Country’s most popular people at present, and even becoming the emperor’s highly favored people by his side. If they had wanted to do anything, it was reckoned that even the emperor could not stop them, let alone them as the few little guards guarding the city.
The sound of hooves which were more dense than the sound of raindrops had broken the silence of the night and echoed for a long time between the mountains.
The winds in the night were refres.h.i.+ng yet ice cold. But the few of them on their horses were completely drenched in their sweat. They had whipped their horses to go faster along the way and the few of them did not stop even for a short moment. Even the st.u.r.dy horses under them which had been chosen among thousands were so tired until they were gasping for air and could collapse at any time, no longer able to get up, but no one dared to slow down.
