Chapter 26: Elite troops loyal to His Majesty Ning
Another burst of night winds rose, lifting the handkerchief froer Xie's hands Under the eyes of everyone present, it was blown into a lantern stand about half a man tall, where the linen ca Xiaoyao grinned This was good, death of the principal witness had destroyed the evidence E Xiaoyao
Ning Xiaoyao knew that the eer wanted to bite her death this very uts, she should turn into a zombie and then bite her!
Lou Zigui was still standing with support froenerals as he spoke in a low voice ”It looks like Your Majesty fulfilled the last wish of the dead and took back the testamentary edict”
Fang Tang and the rest were still speechless This was the first time they'd discovered their Supreme Commander had the potential to tell tall tales Thethat had happened here had turned into a joke between the imperial mother and son!
”I Xiaoyao was a typical exaaining an advantage ”You should have held on tighter to the iood keepsake None of theup lies to cheat them now?”
”These subjects don't dare,” the ain Who would dare to accuse the e?
Eer Xie tasted blood in her , Your Majesty should've told This Dowager sooner”
Ning Xiaoyao said, ”Oh, Imperial Father's death caused Zhen too ot to mention it”
E a faceful of blood at Ning Xiaoyao Were these still human words?!
”It's all right, you can all leave now,” Ning Xiaoyao told the gathered officials ”You're all still loitering around, do you want Zhen to invite you out for dinner?”
None of theXiaoyao's words If they said His Majesty was joking, he still looked serious when he spoke If His Majesty wasn't joking, which one of the then?
”You really want lared She still hadn't eaten anything yet! The gyrfalcon was too lazy to peck Ning Xiaoyao again for using ” His Majesty
A shrewder h to pay his respects ”This subject takes his leave”
One after the other, the ministers and officials took their leave Whether or not the royal court would fall into the Xie father and daughter's hands see on His Majesty's side, there would probably be another ugly faceoff at the assembly in three days' time
Eer Xie allowed Lai mama to support her out the doors of the Hall of Punishui died fro Xiaoyao could on Guards Ning Xiaoyao didn't speak as she watched Eer Xie leave, but ran into the courtyard to loosen the Dragon Guard's bonds
”Go help,” Lou Zigui told Fang Tang and the rest while he sat down on a flight of steps beneath the eaves
When Ning Xiaoyao reached the Dragon Guards, she finally realized why none of theed with cloth The gyrfalcon gave a cry and flew to the youth kneeling at the head of the crowd He nuzzled his head affectionately against the ht This gyrfalcon had abandoned her so naturally; didn't he feel any reluctance at all? Was he casting her aside after using her? (Author: Can you think of so useful instead?)
”Get to work,” Fang Tang called towards the eunuchs on the side How could the few of them untie all 300 plus people?
Ning Xiaoyao took out the gag fro in concern, ”Are you alright?”
Shadowgale and the Dragon Guards behind hinorant Theirfro one foot in the grave
The gyrfalcon stood cutely on Shadowgale's shoulder to express his gratitude ”Your Majesty, thank you I'll definitely catch you lots and lots of rabbits”
”Spare the rabbits,” Ning Xiaoyao whispered What was the point of carrying around a sackful of rabbits? Give me money instead, little falcon brother!
Shadowgale was at a loss ”W-what?”
”Nothing, haha,” Ning Xiaoyao laughed as she pulled hih to ascertain that this fellow had been tortured, but the injuries weren't enough to hurt his bones andfor a few days After being hauled to his feet, Shadowgale looked blankly as Ning Xiaoyao helped loosened the bonds of Shadowthunder and Shadowbolt1 on his left and right After Ning Xiaoyao pulled up Shadowbolt as well, Shadowrain ran over to kneel with a thump
Ning Xiaoyao hastily jumped to the side and said, ”No need, no need to kneel”
Shadowrain's kneeling awakened Shadowgale to his senses as he fell on both knees as well Shadowthunder and Shadowbolt had been pulled to their feet by Ning Xiaoyao, but quickly followed suit to kneel in turn Shadowgale knocked his head heavily against the ground in ko as he spoke, ”Servant Shadowgale thanks Your Majesty!”
The Dragon Guards all followed suit to thank Ning Xiaoyao for saving their lives With 300 people kneeling towards her at the saave an aard s, ”There's no need to be polite, i-it's what should've been done”
Her own randfather were the assailants here, a fact that on Guards who'd narrowly avoided death As Shadowgale knelt on the ground, he still couldn't fully control his e Xiaoyao reached out a hand to pull hiale straight off the ground Next came Shadowthunder, Shadowrain, and Shadowbolt When she looked up and saw theXiaoyao gritted her teeth Slowly, she'd pull theet everyone on their feet before going to eat!
Lou Zigui sat on the steps as he watched Ning Xiaoyao toil along in low spirits to help up the Dragon Guards one by one Supreon Guards would have a new ained a battalion of elite troops that would obey her without regard to the Xie father and ui's face darkened as he watched Ning Xiaoyao pulling these Dragon Guards up and patting their backs Didn't this person know that men and women should keep their distance?
