Chapter 963: How Did We End Up Here?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There were people fighting fiercely on the rooftops on both sides of the inn.
On each of the rooftops were masked men in black with bows and arrows on their backs. It was obvious that they were Prince Yings men. Those who were masked were Prince Yings men, whether they were on the rooftops or below.
However, the two men in black who were carrying bows and arrows were obviously much more skilled than Shao Zhongxi’s men. They easily beat Shao Zhongxi’s men, causing them to fall off the roofs.
Sending such an expert over showed that Prince Ying truly wanted to kill Xue Yan and the Empress in one fell swoop. It was just that they wanted to kill the Empress Dowager right now.
Suddenly, the window of a room on the second floor of the inn broke. A masked masked man was kicked out of the window and fell heavily to the ground. He immediately choked up blood and died.
With the light from the room on the second floor s.h.i.+ning down, Jiang Yue could see that it was an old woman who had kicked him. The old woman had eyes that were as fierce as a dragon and was dressed in luxurious clothes. With a sharp sword in hand, she sheathed it back into her scabbard and stayed calm.
She stepped on the window frame and jumped down.
She directly stepped on the shoulders of a masked masked man who was fighting below and landed softly. The sharp sword in her hand immediately stabbed down at the masked man. The masked man immediately screamed and died.
Judging from the old woman’s posture, she should be Empress Dowager
Yunzi. She was someone who had been on the battlefield for many years.
Right then, an idea popped up in Jiang Yue’s mind. As expected, many people rushed over to the commotion.
“Empress Dowager! Be careful, Empress Dowager!” Two white-haired old men were leaning against the window frame and screaming. Half of their bodies were out, and they were extremely worried as they shouted for help.
Jiang Yue knew that the Empress Dowager had come to Xinyuan County with the Imperial Censor and the Minister of Justice. According to their age, the white-haired old man should be the Imperial Censor, and the white-haired old man with some streaks of black in his hair should be the Minister of Justice.
The two of them were both scholars and did not have any martial art skills.
They could not help much at the moment and would even be a burden to Empress Dowager Yunzi if they tried.
Although the Empress Dowager was strong and fierce, she had significantly aged. After dealing with the two men in black, she started to feel a little exhausted.
Afraid that something would happen to their Empress Dowager, the Imperial Censor and the Minister of Justice quickly turned around and picked up a knife from the ground. Then, they hurried down the stairs.
They avoided the battle and came to the Empress Dowager’s side. They stood in front of her to let her catch her breath and did their best to protect her.
Empress Dowager Yunzi leaned on her sword and panted a little, but her eyes were sharp as she swept her gaze across the battle. The situation seemed to be getting worse.
She had underestimated the people who had come to a.s.sa.s.sinate her. These people were more skilled than she had thought.
Who was it that could send out so many experts?
She might cause the death of the Imperial Censor and the Minister of Justice if she makes a mistake here.
If she hadn’t underestimated them, she would have captured those who dared to trail her the moment she discovered that she was being followed all around. She would have waited a little longer and waited for her men to secretly transfer the guards over. Otherwise, this situation wouldn’t have happened.
“Doctor, be careful!” The Minister of Justice had been holding a knife with both hands, but when he saw the 80-year-old Imperial Censor almost tripping over the corpse on the ground, he dropped one knife and supported the Imperial Censor with the other.
“Don’t worry about me, protect the Empress Dowager. Protect her at all costs.” The Imperial Censor was still in shock as he shook off the Minister of Justice.
Empress Dowager Yunzi’s maid, Hui Xiang, was already injured. Even so, she still charged over and protected her Empress Dowager and the Imperial Censor with grit..
