Chapter 200 (1/2)
In Haitang's hand, the blade was like the wind, twirling around Fan Xian He ju all kinds of strange and comical positions Between each pose, he used all of his forether
The blade stuck into the er of his right hand, and fell onto a dewdrop next to his throat
He was i's eyes She had been training since childhood, and her innate skills were outstanding She had a natural confidence with the blade, and save for the four grand Fan Xian, no matter how one considered hi in such a difficult situation, was her blade still not enough? Every time she tried to stab him, his body seereatest danger, shi+fted by inches!
The sweat on Fan Xian's brow dripped onto the erous At a nuh her speed and accuracy with the blade was not quite that of Wu Zhu, it was still reret, and felt that he shouldn't try to evade her but instead face her head-on as recklessly as before, overwhel her calmness with his intrepidness
But as things stood, there was no other way
At a life-or-death moment, Fan Xian rolled across the dew-ed He would have no chance to co if such a talented fighter was still unable to harh the air, headed toward Haitang's face At that 's attention was cohtly, allowing the arrohistle past her cheek
Following after it were two more—three more arrows!
A densely packed and deadly hail of arrowsaround on the floor like a puppy, dodging toward Haitang
Haitang sighed and brandished her blade in a circle, sweeping away one arrow after another Her wrist began to feel numb, and could not help but become somewhat startled; how could the puny bows of the cavalry let forth such a powerful volley?
Shortly after, a blade flew forth with unstoppable force - it belonged to Tiger Guard Gao Da! The point of the blade stuck into theher to step back
The sound of horses' hooves ruhts had finally dashed to the e Hundreds of hooves restlessly galloped They see an air of terror to the hts drew their bows, ai of a village girl
”You're lucky” Haitang floated lightly away, retreating a distance froh her hair as she spoke to the distant Fan Xian, as struggling to get up
Fan Xian laughed bitterly, not saying a word as he watched the distant village girl wave goodbye
The hts dismounted their horses one by one and chanted all at once ”Commissioner, it is an honor”
Fan Xian turned around and saw the chilling cavalry He finally calmed down somewhat and spoke rather wearily ”This place is poisonous Be careful that your horses are not har to the camp, an imperial physician who had followed the hirave and stern as he entered the camp He told his subordinates that today they would rest, and toe of Wuduhe
”Who was it?” Fan Xian was not in a goodQinian bowed ”The person who opened the carriage door was so The spy in the Council also had soe of Wuduhe, the aruise, but we discovered that they were private forces of the Northern Qi general Lü Jing Lü Jing first served in the aro, and since then he has risen quickly through the ranks
Fan Xian nodded The wound on his shoulder had begun to ache He frowned ”Xiao En is connected to Shang Shanhu, I could guess that So it's only nor Xiao En was able to leave prison thanks to Xinyang's tricks But if they kneere going to arrive safely in Shangjing, I don't see why they arranged an attempt to set him free?”
His head ached, and he could not understand just what the secret agreement between the Eldest Princess and Northern Qi entailed
”It's very clear The Eldest Princess and Shang Shanhu both hope that Xiao En does not fall into the hands of the royal fa Qinian conjectured ”It seems that the royal family of Northern Qi wants Xiao En's secrets, but not Xiao En himself”
”In that case, if Xiao En arrived safely in Northern Qi, perhaps he would die of old age in prison instead of wielding power No wonder he was so desperate to escape” Fan Xian frowned as he talked to hi Emperor of Northern Qi is no fool Perhaps he also understands the connection between Shang Shanhu and Xiao En”
”But what kind of secrets could make the royal fa to silence hio free? Why was he not willing to have him killed?”
