Chapter 305: Killing with a Knife
Qu Jingyao also noticed something strange on the city wall at this time, and she frowned.
"Yaoyao, what are you looking at? Be careful!" Qu Qingchen's pupils emitted a cold light.
Her brows were furrowed, and she moved closer to her brother, motioning him to look towards the city wall.
There were not many guards on the city wall to begin with, and now half of them were gone.
"Something happened in the city?"
"I think so, brother. We can't delay any longer, otherwise we will all be in danger."
Qu Jingyao was now certain that there must be someone inside the city supporting these people, otherwise why would the people suddenly...
She ordered Baiguo to remind Xuanfeng.
Looking at Baiguo's figure running away, she ordered the wolf king to protect him.
"Master, don't worry."
"You should also be careful."
The brother and sister looked at each other, their eyes full of determination, and leaped towards the enemy together, their hands raised and their swords slashed, with such ruthlessness that people couldn't help but shiver.
The people in the city kept charging at the garrison troops who were trying to stop them. No matter how Xuan Yu tried to persuade them, it was of no avail. If this continued, the city gates would be broken through by their own people long before the enemy troops could break through.
His face turned red in an instant, veins popped out on his neck, and his eyes were bloodshot, his anger seemed uncontrollable.
At this moment, Qu Jingyao could no longer wait and told Baiguo to protect her brother. She jumped up quickly. With her unmatched lightness skills, it was easy for her to break through the enemies and fly onto the city wall.
"Master, be careful. Sister Baiguo blocked the arrow from the dark."
Qu Jingyao's cold eyes paused, then she quickened her pace and leaped onto the city wall in one go.
"Who are you?"
"Don't do it, this girl is here to help us."
The soldier beside him pulled the guard back and nodded at her apologetically.
Qu Jingyao glanced around and said with a gloomy face: "Where are the others? Why is there only this little one left..."
"Miss, you don't know that the people in the city revolted, and the Xuanyu Guards took some people to suppress them."
As the general finished speaking, Qu Jingyao flew towards the city.
Under the gloomy sky, the streets of Ruyang City were filled with people. The man in silver armor must be Xuan Yu, who was leading the guards to stop the people from approaching the city gate.
At this time, Qu Jingyao discovered that there was a man with a curtain in the crowd, who was barking the loudest there. The gloomy coldness in her eyes was like a storm coming.
"Xuan Yu, guard these people, and leave the rest to me." Qu Jingyao flew to Xuan Yu's side, her eyes never leaving the stranger who was shouting the loudest.
Xuan Yu followed her gaze and noticed something strange. The man was obviously constantly inciting the people, and these people were stupid enough to think they were pursuing some truth and were fooling around.
"boom"
Qu Jingyao quickly dodged, picked up the man in the crowd and threw him at Xuan Yu's feet.
Before the man could react, a pair of embroidered shoes stepped mercilessly on his cheek.
"Tell me, who instructed you to take over Prince Li's mansion at this time? You don't care about the lives of the people in the city? Aren't you afraid of extinction by doing such a thing?"
Qu Jingyao channeled her inner strength into her voice, letting the words spread throughout the entire street. She knew that someone must be watching them in the dark.
She just wanted that person to hear it so that she could reveal her true identity.
"Ugh...let...let me go."
The man under Qu Jingyao's feet kept struggling.
The people around were just stunned by Qu Jingyao's actions, but now they started to make trouble again.
She discovered that there was more than one person instigating this among the crowd. Okay! Then she would use this as an example to scare the monkeys. A fierce look flashed in her eyes, and she raised her knife and slashed. The man under her feet was instantly dead.
"Let me see, you ignorant people, don't you know what kind of people are out there? Those beasts have already slaughtered most of the villages outside Ruyang City.
They burned and killed everyone, no matter how old the elderly were or how many babies were not yet full-term, even the sisters in the family were harmed by these beasts.
Are you guys still making trouble? Are you still going to leave? Okay! Xuan Yu will open the city gates and let them go to die. No one can stop them.
Qu Jingyao's words silenced even the last stubborn voice in the crowd. It was very quiet, and the only sounds that could be heard outside the city were the clashing of swords and fighting.
Xuan Yu was really scared just now, and was really afraid that the lady would ask him to open the city gate.
Looking at the aura of the person in front of him, Xuan Yu's lips curled up slightly. The master really did not choose the wrong person.
Qu Jingyao watched as the troublemakers in the crowd quieted down, and while the iron was hot, she asked who of them wanted to leave, and she would grant them the favor!
"No, no, I have something to do at home so I'll go back first."
"I remembered that dinner wasn't ready yet, so I went back."
"What are you still doing here, you bastard? Do you really want to send me and my child to die? Go back now."
Watching the crowd gradually dispersing, Xuan Yu looked at the mistress beside him with admiration, and bowed his hands in gratitude, saying, "On behalf of the people of the city, I, Xuan Yu, would like to thank you for your righteous help."
Qu Jingyao glanced at her and reminded her not to let her guard down. The traitor in the city had not made any move, and she didn't know what would happen next.
Xuan Yu's heart had just settled down, but it was now lifted up again.
He kept thinking in his heart when his master would come back! If this continued, he was really afraid that he would not be able to hold on for another two rounds.
None of them noticed that at the corner of the alley not far from the city gate, there were two black figures staring at this side.
"Master, you see... that woman is really difficult to deal with. She's a bit like Prince Li in her ruthlessness. I wonder what her relationship is with Prince Li's palace?"
The man opposite was playing with the jade gourd in his hand, with a sinister cold light at the corner of his lips.
"Since she's an eyesore, just make her disappear."
"Yes, I understand."
Seeing his master turn around and leave the carriage, the man in black slipped two darts from his hand and shot them straight at Qu Jingyao.
Qu Jingyao, who was talking to Xuan Yu, felt a cold light in her peripheral vision. She swiftly turned sideways and dodged the hidden weapon. Before she could see clearly, the second dart was about to hit her between the eyebrows.
"Be careful little one!"
Leng Yanxiu flew over, hugged Qu Jingyao and turned around, and the dart hit Leng Yanxiu's shoulder.
"Well......"
"you......"
"Master!" Xuan Lei flew over and his face changed with fear when he saw his injured master. His voice, with a cracked tone, broke through the crowd.
"Mo Xiu, you...how are you? Wake up? Wake up!" Qu Jingyao was a little flustered at this time. She didn't expect this man to appear. The sticky feeling on her hand made her wake up instantly.
"Blood......"
"Miss Qu, please hand the master over to me first. I will take the master to the doctor."
Xuan Lei took a step forward, his face full of nervousness. He reached out, picked up his master, and ran towards the city.
Seeing this, Xuan Yu did not dare to be negligent. He said a few words to comfort them and quickly led his men back to the city wall.
