Upx Chapter 83 (2/2)
Second Steward Xie covered the back of his neck where he’d been slapped before forcing out, ”The Grand, the Grand Preceptor doesn’t drink oil”
All of the Dragon Guards felt their mouths twitch
”Looks like oil won’t do it Are there any other ideas?” Ning Xiaoyao didn’t have time to ponder why the Grand Preceptor didn’t drink oil Her face was anxious as she sought help froale and the rest
”There’s an oil shop at the end of the street,” Shadowbolt said ”I could go buy some?”
”I didn’t bring anyIt was half filled with sugar beans but didn’t have a single copper coin
Shadowbolt’s fair face stiffened ”This subordinate has o buy the oil” Thus, the fourth coon Guards ran towards the end of the street
Meanwhile, Shadowgale took out a dagger and tested out the wall before telling Ning Xiaoyao, ”No good, there’s brick beneath the outer layer of dirt” If it was a dirt wall, they could dig the animal out, but brick wouldn’t do
Ning Xiaoyao sprawled on the ground as she checked the hole holding the snoolf pup in place ”Well dang, it’s rocky down here too I won’t be able to pry him out”
”Xiaoyao,Xiaoyao grew evenperiods of tiet injured
”How about I jump over the wall and pull him from the other side?” Shadowrain came up with another idea
Ning Xiaoyao pressed her ears to the wall for a listen ”No good, there’s people co”
The Dragon Guards held their breath and listened against the wall as well Indeed, they could catch the indistinct sound of footsteps Ning Xiaoyao leapt up froround There was no ti oil would even work?
His Majesty Ning came to a decision ”Let’s tear down the wall”
”………” said Second Steward Xie
”………” said the Dragon Guards
ain?
Currently, Prince Zhi was leading the imperial clansh the flower gardens and the , they’d reach the courtyard in front of his study The courtyard walls were bordered by a pleasing barove, and Prince Zhi stopped here to speak ”Gentlemen, there’s no need to be too troubled Even if His Majesty has teamed up with Xie Wenyuan, they won’t be able to dismiss the vassal lords unless they killed us”
Outside the walls, Ning Xiaoyao had taken off her outer robes and tied it around her head
Shadowrain asked, ”We need to conceal our faces?”
Ning Xiaoyao replied, ”What if we’re caught? Where am I supposed to find the money to pay the prince back for his wall?” There were people standing right on the other side
The Dragon Guards thought this , they copied Ning Xiaoyao and tied their outer robes around their heads Second Steward Xie stood on one side, afraid to even et it Was this person really His Majesty? You’re already the emperor So what if you tear down Prince Zhi’s wall? Even if you dis against you Do you really need to cover up your entire head?
Shadowgale took out his saber and prepared to smash the wall
”That won’t do,” said Ning Xiaoyao ”If you break it down like that, the little ill get hurt”
Shadowgale asked, ”Then what does Your Majesty plan to do?”
”……” said Xie Laifu That fat furball’s a wolf?!
Ning Xiaoyao backed up a few steps, took a deep breath, and raised her leg to kick viciously at the wall
Inside the walls, the irove after hearing Prince Zhi’s words
”His Majesty wants to kill us?” Prince Xi asked Prince Zhi
Ning Xiaoyao’s foot made contact with the wall, which shuddered twice The iround beneath them quake
Ning Xiaoyao next slaainst the wall A few pieces of wall came loose froan to show cracks like ruptured ice Inside the courtyard, the iht The courtyard wall stood staunchly for a fewspray of flying rocks knocked two i heads
&Sigon Guards We really didn’t mean it!
Ning Xiaoyao quickly took the snoolf pup into her ar Then she stuffed the wolf down the front of her robes By the tiain, it was to see Prince Zhi They were separated frorove of bamboo trees
”S-should we run?” Shadowrain asked in a tre voice
Ning Xiaoyao thought it over before touching her face, which was still wrapped up in her clothes ”What are we afraid of?” Ning Xiaoyao told the Dragon Guards ”That prince was having a private affair with the Northern Hu Today’s the perfect chance to beat him up!”
It was ‘private business deal,’ not ‘private affair’ Shadowrain wanted to correct His Majesty’s words, but Shadowgale had already led the other Dragon Guards towards the imperial clansmen with sabers drawn before he could speak up In the end, Shadowrain unsheathed his own saber and followed theround and prepared to charge forhen Shadowgale ran back to shi+eld her behind him
”Your Majesty, you can’t attack,” he said in a sure is too obvious”
Ning Xiaoyao stiffened in place as she weighed the brick in her hands She was as flat as an airport runway and as skinny as a stick Indeed, her figure was quite unique
”Who are you people?!” Prince Zhi shouted Everyone on the streets had heard the couards, retainers, and the other guards of the iale waved his saber and joined the fight anew Ning Xiaoyao glanced at the brick in her hands, then at Prince Zhi, as still shouting for identification from Shadowrain She aimed for Prince Zhi’s face and threw her brick
”Prince!” a guard felt so off with the wind currents by Prince Zhi and pulled him aside to duck the blow
”AHHH!”
The guard had done his best, but Prince Zhi still let out a wretched screaed to preserve his eyes and nose, but not his teeth Over half of the by the brick
”Kill!” Shadowgale shouted
Second Steward Xie wanted to kneel at His Majesty’s feet Just what kind of ruckus was this, ahhhhhhhhhhh?!?
