Chapter 110 The Consequences of Not Keeping Promises
Chapter 110 The Consequences of Breaking a Promise
Xin Wenyuan led the group as far away as possible, only to find that the area ahead was in complete chaos.
After the mules and horses fell to the ground, arrows flew towards the refugees, and many people were hit by the flying arrows and fell to the ground crying out in pain.
Some people reacted quickly and hurriedly hid behind horse-drawn carriages and oxcarts, panting heavily.
"How dare the soldiers of Wan'an Prefecture kill indiscriminately in the streets?" A hint of anger flashed in Han Zhao's eyes.
“That’s because someone is condoning it.” Xin Wenyuan said with a solemn expression. “Given the current situation, we’d just be targets in the past. Let’s wait and see.”
Everyone looked somewhat frightened.
Both sides were open spaces, and in this critical situation, no one knew where to hide.
The refugees who had rushed ahead of them had already been forced back dozens of steps by the arrows and were hurriedly trying to find a place to hide.
However, the other side did not give them a chance to hide.
With a shout of "The Prefect has ordered that anyone who attempts to trespass shall be killed without exception," another volley of arrows rained down on the crowd in the darkness.
Xin Wenyuan frowned, and under the shimmering light, everyone's figures disappeared into the night once again.
Lieutenant Wang was leading his archer battalion men in a relentless advance.
They had already noticed a large group of troublemakers with ill intentions standing in front of them, but then...
They disappeared within minutes.
What a hell.
At the same time, Liu Huo led a group of the Crown Prince's personal guards to a nearby location, and also noticed that his master and the others had disappeared.
The group of men looked at each other and then exchanged a glance with Captain Wang and his group opposite them.
Lieutenant Wang immediately became alert and raised his hand, shouting, "Ready, fire!"
Hundreds of archer soldiers behind him fired arrows in unison.
Clusters of cold light swept across the sky. Behind Liu Huo, a group of people raised their swords and slashed at the arrows flying in front of them, a hint of anger appearing on their faces.
"How dare you! Who are you? Do you know..."
Lieutenant Wang didn't even wait for them to finish speaking before ordering a new wave of archers to attack.
After three rounds of arrows, Liu Huo and the others' anger surged.
"Are you the garrison of Wan'an Prefecture? Stop right now! We are His Highness the Crown Prince's personal guards, here on His Highness's orders..." Liu Huo didn't want to waste words with them, so he took out his waist token to show his identity.
However, the other side was like a pack of mad dogs, relentlessly attacking them and not giving Liu Huo a chance to finish speaking.
Liu Huo was furious.
Then, looking up, I saw the little girl, expressionless, suddenly appear in the enemy camp.
On the other side, hundreds of people were actively drawing their bows and nocking their arrows.
Suddenly, a strange person appeared beside their captain.
An archer standing nearby glared at the girl, about to shout, when he saw his captain being lightly slapped to the ground by the girl.
That was such a light slap.
To everyone else, it seemed as if the girl effortlessly swept her palm across the room with a gentle touch.
Lieutenant Wang tripped and fell face-first into the dirt in front of everyone, stumbling and falling heavily to the ground.
The archers were all startled and considered turning their arrows around.
Unfortunately, arrows are only good for long-range attacks; they have absolutely no advantage in close combat.
Xin Nian snapped an arrow in the hand of an archer with her finger, staring coldly at him, "Want to die?"
The archer felt an overwhelming pressure for no apparent reason, shuddered, and obediently lowered his hands.
The broken bowstring fell to the ground with a thud.
There was complete silence. All the archers stared blankly at the woman who had suddenly appeared beside Captain Wang.
Her arrival was completely out of the blue, and the timing of her appearance was extremely unusual. No one in the archer battalion knew how she had managed to appear among them so silently.
Looking down at Captain Wang, who had been stomped to the ground by the girl, everyone kept quiet.
"Isn't killing fun?"
In the silent, dark night, only Xin Nian's voice slowly rose, sounding somewhat eerie and magical.
Lieutenant Wang was trampled until he vomited blood, but he still insisted on his opinion: "The Prefect has ordered that no one who is sick is allowed to enter the city. Anyone who trespasses will be killed without mercy."
"I'll kill your sister without mercy." Xin Nian stomped on his foot again, her voice rising slightly at the end. "Do you think I look sick?"
Captain Wang coughed up blood three times, but still stubbornly insisted, "Even if you're not sick, you can't just trespass."
"I paid the fee." Xin Nian glanced down at the other person, her face full of confusion. "Are you going back on your word now?"
"We've already paid the city entry fee, and you keep stopping us time and time again. Do you think I'm a pushover?"
Captain Wang was almost speechless from being trampled on by the little girl.
He felt a tightness in his chest and spoke haltingly, “The checkpoint ahead is ringing the gong… The gong has been rung, you are all trespassers.”
Xin Nian lowered her head and smiled softly, her smile chillingly cold. "I should have killed all those little things in front of me, and all of you."
"Tsk, I'm so kind. Sigh." She let out a long sigh. "This is just asking for trouble."
"you……"
Xin Nian raised her hand and slapped two archers who rushed in front of her across the face.
She flung the two young men so hard they spun around 360 degrees, staring at her with utter bewilderment.
“You guys are really annoying.” Xin Nian raised an eyebrow and uttered a sentence with a half-smile.
For some reason, when the little girl uttered those words in a sinister tone, all the soldiers in the archer battalion couldn't help but take a small step back.
Despite the humid and hot night, I inexplicably felt a chill creep up on my heart, which was strangely terrifying.
"Young men, let me send you all on your way." Xin Nian suddenly raised her right hand, and a warm light formed a transparent storm in her palm.
Just as they were about to set off, they suddenly heard the city gates behind them burst open, and someone shouted, "This humble official was unaware of Your Highness's arrival. I hope Your Highness will forgive my failure to greet you properly."
Xiao Jinzhi walked slowly to Xin Nian's side, naturally pulled down her raised hand, turned his head and smiled gently at her, "I'll take care of it."
The prefect of Wan'an Prefecture led a group of civil officials out of the city quickly.
Liu Huo and the others instantly surrounded Xiao Jinzhi and Xin Nian, protecting them in the middle, their faces cold as they drew their swords.
"Your humble servant Wang Yinghui greets Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"These are Magistrate Yang, Prefect Zhou, and..."
Before Prefect Wang Yinghui could finish his introduction, His Highness the Crown Prince waved his hand.
Zhu Yan suddenly drew his sword.
His sword strikes were incredibly fast, far surpassing the speed of a whirlwind.
All the onlookers saw was a sword cleaving through the night, a streak of blood flashing before their eyes.
In an instant, Captain Wang, who was lying on the ground, was decapitated.
Wang Yinghui's whole body trembled, but he still forced himself to remain calm.
"I gave you face?"
"Since when have you little ants been able to stand up and speak to me?"
Wang Yinghui's heart skipped a beat.
In an instant, he was enveloped by an incomparably powerful aura, his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground, bowing his head and kowtowing to the ground. "Your Highness has come from afar. I... I have failed in my duty. I did not know that Your Highness had been waiting outside the city for so long. I deserve to die."
I'll update tomorrow afternoon; I've been very busy these past two days. I'll wait until I'm well-rested and refreshed...
