Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 654: The Mortal Girl Possessed by the Gu Queen (32)

This city is quite large, so He Wan plans to find an inn to stay overnight and let the horse rest.

As soon as he stepped onto the official road, He Wan felt something was wrong.

It was night time, and most people in the city were resting, but it was too quiet. He Wan smelled an unusual smell almost instantly.

She closed her eyes and spread out her spiritual sense, and found many soldiers ready to go. They were holding long swords and gathered in a house.

It looks like something big is about to happen.

Monks are not allowed to get too involved in the affairs of mortals. Apart from solving some matters involving demons and monsters, they are not responsible for anything else.

He Wan had no intention of intervening. She took out the forged document and prepared to hand it to the officer checking at the door, but was directly coaxed away.

"Go, go, go. The city gates are locked. No one is allowed to enter or leave."

He Wan had specifically investigated and found out that there were caravans entering and leaving the city at night. Seeing the ferocious attitude of the officers and soldiers, he knew that something big was probably going to happen inside.

Since that was the case, He Wan didn't force it. She changed her route and went to a forest outside the city, found a lush meadow, untied the horse ropes, and began to meditate on the spot.

Not long after, He Wan heard hurried footsteps coming from three miles away, followed by a large number of scattered sounds of pursuit.

It looked like a group of soldiers were chasing someone.

The person who was escaping seemed to be seriously injured and stumbled as he ran, but he did not forget to throw a stone in the opposite direction to divert attention.

Seeing someone coming towards her, He Wan didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so she didn't move, but just quietly hid her body.

As the footsteps got closer, a man in a black robe ran out from the dense woods. He was indeed seriously injured, and blood-soaked fragments of light could be seen on his robe through the moonlight.

The other person turned his head, revealing a pure and innocent face, but at this moment his expression was solemn and desperate. But the next second, when he saw a horse eating grass not far away, his eyes lit up.

Then he immediately dragged his injured leg and ran towards the horse.

He Wan's brows furrowed when he saw this scene.

The noise made by the man startled the horse and attracted the pursuers from behind.

"—This way! Chase him! Don't let him get away!"

"Your Majesty has ordered that the deposed Crown Prince be executed! Bring him his head!"

"Oh no! Why is there a horse there? He's trying to escape on horseback! Quick! Draw your bow! Shoot!"

A group of guards wearing black armor immediately took off the bows and arrows on their backs and shot thousands of arrows towards the horses.

Before Li Yu could touch the horse reins, he was kicked in the injured leg by the horse's hoof, and the pain made him fall to the ground.

To make matters worse, he could hear the sound of pursuers behind him. When he turned around, he saw countless arrows raining down on him.

There was no way he could hide from the dense crowd. Li Yu knew he was going to die here, so he closed his eyes unwillingly.

However, the predicted pain did not come. Li Yu opened his eyes and found that an invisible barrier seemed to appear in front of him. All the arrows coming towards him were blocked by the barrier and fell to the ground one after another.

Seeing this, not only the pursuers who shot arrows, but even Li Yu was stunned.

"what's the situation!?"

The leading general frowned and glared at the situation: "Something's wrong! Report this to Lord Qu immediately! Go!"

Li Yu didn't have time to think about it, and quickly got up from the ground, grabbed the reins and tried to get on the horse, but was bounced away by a gust of air and fell back to the ground.

He tilted his head and saw a woman in coarse linen standing in front of him, looking down at him: "This is my horse."

The young general's eyes widened when he saw someone appear out of nowhere not far away.

Seeing that she looked like a common peasant girl, the general immediately shouted at her:

"Who is coming!?"

"Anyone who dares to ruin His Majesty's good deeds will be killed without mercy!"

"Go! Capture them!"

The soldiers quickly surrounded the two men, causing the birds and beasts in the forest to scatter. In the moonlight, the long swords shone with a cold light.

Such a loud noise frightened the horse and it neighed. He Wan quickly put his hand on its neck to comfort it.

The young general saw that the peasant girl was not afraid at all, and his eyebrows were so strong that he could almost kill a fly.

He shouted again, "Who are you? Why are you interfering with our work?"

He Wan did not reply, but picked up an arrow on the ground, and sure enough, he found traces of tracking spell on it.

He Wan originally just couldn't bear to see the horse that had been with her for three months die under a hail of arrows, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to protect her horse. Unexpectedly, she discovered that these ordinary arrows actually had traces of magic on them.

She didn't have time to think about it and immediately protected both the man and the horse.

Now she confirmed that there was indeed something other than this world on the arrow, but the spell was very low-level. This kind of tracking spell was known to all Qigong disciples.

However, the world of cultivation has clear requirements that it is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of mortals, let alone interfere with the change of regime.

The group of people in front of him were obviously related to the royal family, and that person also mentioned the "deposed prince".

Could it be...

He Wan set his gaze on Li Yu.

Is this person the former prince?

In the original owner's memory, there was indeed a prince during the Qingde period, and his age matched the person in front of him.

However, the prince was deeply loved by the emperor, and the father and son often practiced riding and shooting together. He was being trained as the crown prince, so how could he have fallen into such a miserable state now?

Seeing He Wan didn't say anything, the young general's face turned cold. He had not forgotten the strange scene that had just happened. Seeing He Wan's fearless attitude, he was a little unsure for a moment.

Forget it, as long as Li Yu is dead!

The young general gave a wink to his subordinate on the opposite side, and the other party understood what he meant. He re-rode the arrow and pulled the bow, aiming at Li Yu's head behind He Wan!

All those present were elite soldiers trained at great expense, and the archers were even master archers who never missed their target.

The arrow was shot out with great force, but in the next second, when it passed by the woman in hemp clothes, she caught it with her bare hands in an impossible situation.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, He Wan raised his hand and glanced at the arrow in his hand, which still bore traces of magic.

The young general looked incredulous. He stared at the arrow in He Wan's hand, convinced that this uninvited guest was an enemy.

He Wan shouldn't have been involved in this matter. Even if there were abnormalities in human affairs, it was not her business as a demon to interfere. Moreover, she also had her own mission to accomplish.

But when He Wan saw Li Yu covered in wounds, he couldn't help but feel pity for him.

Even if he has great abilities, he cannot defeat someone who has the support of monks.

I don’t know who is behind this new emperor.

At this time, He Wan heard that another large group of people were rushing here. Not long after, a large group of armored soldiers surrounded them, and a man in armor walked out of the crowd.

Being able to wear armor, he must be a general of high rank.

"Who are you? How dare you go against His Majesty? You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about."
