236 Untitled (2/2)

Feeling resentful at how slow she was, the guinea pig gave her a slap, jumped and squeaked as it pointed towards a corner.

There was a black and long line, which didn't seem like a line under close scrutiny. It was instead a crowd of black-clothed warriors who rode on handsome horses. Even from Meng Fuyao's position, she could feel the magnificent presence of the warriors, who had an aggressive and dauntless vibe that ordinary people would not possess.

On their waists, a dark red belt could vaguely be seen. Against their black clothes, the contrast was even more distinct.

Meng Fuyao sucked in her breath, but it was stuck at her throat.

The Black Wind Cavalry!

Other than Zhan Beiye, no one could be more familiar with the aura of these people. Worse still, the Black Wind Cavalry only ever appeared when Zhan Beiye was around, so… Empress Zhan had arrived?

'Oh my god… what a turbulent world…'

In a flash, Meng Fuyao released the curtains, and she stared at the guinea pig in a daze. ”Heavens, that aggressive man is here.”

The guinea pig looked at her pitifully. 'Meng Fuyao, you are in such good luck. If my master is here, probably no trouble will arise, but it is that fool who is here…. you're done for,' thought Lord Yuan Bao.

Still, in a stunned state, Meng Fuyao sat down and the more she thought about it, the more worried she was. Secretively, she opened the curtains again, but she was in for a shock. The Black Wind Cavalry was right beside her and patrolling in the vicinity behind the security clearance. Right in the center of the cavalry, a man dressed in a black and magnificent robe reined in his horse, turned his head coldly and took a long glance towards the carriage.

Meng Fuyao shot up in an instant, and she felt like crying. ”Heavens, why is he staring at the carriage? He can't be so phenomenal to the point that he can recognize me pass the walls, right?”

Beside her, the guinea pig brushed its mustache. 'The fool is indeed very phenomenal today…'

Even more phenomenal things awaited her…

Just as Meng Fuyao had completed her sentence, the carriage suddenly slanted to one side!

As though it had stumbled on stones, the wheels of the carriage tilted towards the left. The 18 well-trained horses immediately tried to pull and correct the position of the wheel, but one of the horses suddenly let out a long neigh and collapsed. This led to a domino effect, whereby a number of horses subsequently tripped and fell too. The gold strings shook, and the carriage was about to collapse towards the left side!

Caught off guard, Meng Fuyao rolled from one side of the spacious carriage to another in a giddy state. However, she did not dare to use her martial arts. In a frenzy, she extended her hand with much difficulty and quickly grabbed the guinea pig, which had been rolling around the carriage.

”Protect the Empress! Protect the Empress!”

The solemn and neat welcoming entourage immediately became a state of chaos. Everyone dashed forward and tried to raise the phoenix carriage, but the carriage was surrounded by eunuchs who were raising giant flags and parasols, and attendants who were carrying incense burners and valuable vases. They could not possibly put away the items in their hands, and they would have no strength to raise the heavy carriage. As such, they blocked the Regent King, who tried to rein his horse and turn back. There was still the heavy ceiling of the carriage, which seemed about to be crashing to the floor in an instant!

While the eunuchs shouted, a yellow figure shot by. The Regent King no longer tried to squeeze past the chaotic crowd on his horse. Shooting up into the sky like a shooting star, he dashed towards the carriage.

But he was one step too late.

Another black figure flashed by like a radiant flame and appeared at the side of the carriage. Snatching over the parasol from a frightened eunuch, he turned it upside down and raised the wooden handle towards the sky.

The collapse of the phoenix carriage was halted in an instant.

It leaned precariously on a thin wooden handle.

The black figure moved at such incredible speed and executed the action with such accuracy that the commoners could not help but exclaim their admiration at the sharp and clean move, even if they did not understand martial arts.

However, the wooden handle could not possibly carry the weight of the phoenix carriage, which was heavily studded with gold and jade. Just as the handle creaked, signifying its impending break, the man extended his hand and carried the weight of the carriage with his bare hands.

Everyone sucked in their breaths and were stunned by that immortal-like strength. But that handsome man gently bent his back.

He leaned forward and stopped in front of the window, blocking the view of others. The slanted window frame had already broken, and the curtains were tugged away by him as well. The noble woman in the carriage, while dizzy, stared back at him in fear with an unfamiliar face and an unfamiliar pair of eyes.

The corner of Zhan Beiye's lips raised as a sign of confirmation. Without any further words, he extended his hand, and his fingers reached for the woman's skin!

”How dare you!”

The woman screamed indignantly, and the shrill and prideful tone slightly stunned Zhan Beiye, but he did not give up and continue reaching towards her face.

Suddenly, the woman looked down and viciously bit on Zhan Beiye's fingers with her sharp teeth.

The bite was so forceful that there was a deep mark on Zhan Beiye's fingers and blood flowed out of the mark.

”How can an impertinent man like you be so frivolous in front of me!” After spitting out the blood in her mouth, she barked in anger. Her voice was filled with haughtiness, and her attitude was one of disdain. She sounded impatient and vain, making her seem noble and cold. A ceremonial scepter symbolizing power and good wealth.
