Chapter 242 - The Ink-blood Tower Turned Out in Full Force (1/2)
The soldiers outside the post house were all a little perplexed by Bai Aoxue’s sudden appearance.
Seeing that Bai Aoxue rushed towards the stable, some soldiers looked at each other in speechless despair, knowing more or less about the reason why Bai Aoxue went to the stable in their hearts. It was not a good time to walk a horse.
Unless… Bai Aoxue would leave here!
Following Bai Aoxue to the stable, the officers and men wanted to stop Bai Aoxue from leaving in time, but they didn’t find anything unusual about her.
There was a stalemate on both sides.
Those people who wanted to stop Bai Aoxue dared not to act since Qi Liange had told them not to hurt Bai Aoxue before. They were afraid that once they acted, they would hurt Bai Aoxue. In this case, they would be sentenced to death at that time!
Bai Aoxue didn’t intend to kill those innocent people indiscriminately, but these men would not make way for her at all. Taking a look at the soldiers before her deeply, she thought for a while and roughly came to understand that Qi Liange told them not to hurt her. She had an idea in her heart.
Bai Aoxue touched Xiaobai’s horsehair gently and said slowly, “Xiaobai, go ahead in full force later. Don’t be afraid.”
After saying that, she turned over to mount the horse.
“Go ahead!” Bai Aoxue yelled softly when she raised the rein gently.
Xiaobai lifted its four hooves and galloped out quickly as if it understood Bai Aoxue’s words.
As Xiaobai lifted its four hooves, Bai Aoxue raised the long whip in her hand, scaring away the soldiers who intended to approach her.
As soon as Jun Yeyan chased Bai Aoxue out of the post house, he saw Bai Aoxue’s figure pass by him.
The silent words came from her light red lips. Her phoenix-like eyes were like the crescent moon that was dyed red in the sky, showing some resolution. They were very pretty and coquettish.
Watching Bai Aoxue’s figure, Jun Yeyan naturally heard what she said to him when she came to him.
“I will leave now.”
These simple words demonstrated her determination and persistence.
She would go to the Mobei Dynasty, and nobody could stop her, even including Jun Yeyan.
Although she knew that the road was full of peril, she would still proceed without hesitation. Then what could he do? And what could he say to stop her?
Bai Aoxue scared the soldiers off with her whip all the way, rushing out of the trap to the city gate. And a soldier among them, who had already raised the longbow, was ready to shoot Xiaobai that was hurtling.
“Right! Shoot the horse to death! Stop Miss Bai from leaving here!” Someone said loudly.
The man holding the longbow was just about to shoot, but a weird iron fan already cut open his throat.
“Sorry. Since my master wants to leave, nobody can stop her!” Liushuang said slowly with his pretty and coquettish peach-blossom-like eyes blinking gently.
Grasping the iron fan tightly in his hand, Liushuang was ready to leave, leading a horse.
“The emperor has given the order! Everybody is forbidden to leave. Kill anybody who puts up resistance, except Miss Bai!” The general among those soldiers said in a deep voice while looking at Liushuang, with a homicidal intent revealed in his eyes.
On hearing the words of the general, Jun Yeyan slightly darkened his phoenix-like eyes. Qi Liange was really so persistent to Xue.
Liushuang said lightly while looking at Jun Yeyan, “The 5th Princess, these small-beer people are left to your subordinates. It seems that the emperor cares about my master very much. I will go to find my master first.”
He had no interest in the personal grudges between Jun Yeyan and Qi Liange at all.
Qi Liange might have his own plan by doing so. Since he began to stop Bai Aoxue here, the city gate was definitely the same. And Bai Aoxue’s emotion was not stable at all at this moment, so Liushuang was concerned about Bai Aoxue very much.
Hearing Liushuang’s words, Jun Yeyan’s long and narrow slanted eyes were narrowed slightly.
“They are left to you.” Jun Yeyan said slowly while looking at Li Xiao and others behind him.
“Master, you can be at ease. We will fulfill the task definitely and then go to meet you!” Li Xiao and others said in a low and deep voice.
Seeing that Zhao had brought the horse here, Jun Yeyan jumped up and mounted the horse. Then he said while looking at Liushuang, “She is my wife, so I should be the one who is concerned about her. It’s none of your business.”
After saying that, he raised the rein and went in the direction where Bai Aoxue left.
Such a fool! Even if she wanted to go to the Mobei Dynasty, he would accompany her! Why was she so stubborn? Couldn’t she rely on him?
She should be taught a lesson after she was caught by him!
Thinking about this, Jun Yeyan pushed the horse to move forward faster.
Watching Jun Yeyan follow Bai Aoxue to leave, Liushuang was unwilling to lag behind and kept up with him immediately.
On this side, Bai Aoxue who left first went all the way to the city gate, believing that Qi Liange would not let her leave the Nanyue Dynasty certainly since he had blocked all of her routes of retreat now.
No matter what she did, Qi Liange would send his men to chase her. So, she would go out of the city gate directly.
She didn’t have time to act in a roundabout way with Qi Liange.
But Bai Aoxue who went directly to the city gate didn’t expect that Qi Liange was also heading for the gate with his subordinates.
Luckily, Qi Liange had gone out of the city to rescue Qi Muyuan, who was still controlled by Liu Muwei and his daughter.
“Stop! Now the gate is closed. According to the order made by the emperor, anyone is forbidden to go out of the city at this moment.” The soldier guarding the city came up to stop Bai Aoxue when seeing her.
Bai Aoxue turned over and got down from the horse. She walked to the side of the soldier and said lightly, “I have something urgent. Could you please give me a favor?” Bai Aoxue said, giving the soldier several bank notes.
And that soldier was obviously surprised to receive so many bank notes from Bai Aoxue who was so generous.
