Chapter 1773 The Figure in Nanyan's Eyes
Everyone immediately said, "Okay!"
Suddenly, they rushed out from the night and rushed forward.
Originally, the imperial guards were still fighting with the wolves, when suddenly they heard a burst of shouting and killing in the dark night, and everyone was stunned.
Looking more closely, they saw countless torches suddenly lit up in the dark night. Those torches were like phosphorous flames that suddenly appeared in the dark night, swaying, and then floating towards them quickly.
When they got closer, everyone saw those ferocious eyes in the firelight.
Everyone was shocked.
"What's going on?"
"Everyone be careful, there's an assassin!"
"It's not an assassin, it's a bandit. Everyone be careful, the bandits are coming!"
When Ran Xiaoyu heard about the sand bandits, her breathing paused.
Nan Yan frowned slightly and murmured, "Sand bandits...?"
Ran Xiaoyu immediately said, "My Lady, we must be careful!"
But Nan Yan didn't care about this. Instead, with a slight flicker in her eyes, she said, "The Sand Bandits are here? So, they were the ones driving the wolves?"
"Mother?"
Nan Yan looked back at her and said, "It's okay."
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Nan Yan and said softly, "My Lady, those bandits are probably coming for you. We must be careful. What if, I mean, what if, the imperial guards can't hold on—"
Before she finished her words, she heard Nan Yan say in a deep voice: "No."
“…”
"We have to trust them."
“…”
"These people are the elite selected by Lord Ying Shao. They know what they should do."
Ran Xiaoyu said worriedly: "I am just afraid that I will disturb you."
“…”
"It's been over three months."
Nan Yan just glanced at her and said nothing.
Ran Xiaoyu looked at her, then looked at the hand she was holding her belly, thought for a moment, and said, "My Lady, are you scared?"
Nan Yan said: "This palace——"
Before she could finish her words, she heard the imperial guards outside taking action. The leader suddenly shouted, "Dispatch!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the group of soldiers standing on the innermost side, protecting the yellow cloth wall, suddenly break away from the battle circle with the wolves.
Like a figure separating.
Suddenly, the shadows on the yellow cloth wall became more messy.
Because after those sand bandits rushed up, the wolves stopped rushing up, so some of them finally had time to free up their hands. Seeing those sand bandits rushing up, they rushed forward fiercely.
"Leave these sand bandits to us!"
The bright light of the sword cut through the sky, and with the shining torches, it was like two clouds of fire colliding with each other.
In an instant, there was a burst of killing sounds outside.
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide and watched the messy figures fighting continuously. The figures were swaying and the wolf-like figures were moving around, as if drawing the most vivid, brightest and cruel picture of killing on the yellow cloth wall.
Some people had just rushed to the side of the yellow cloth wall and were about to swing their knives to cut the yellow cloth when they were chopped down by a tall figure who suddenly appeared behind them. With a scream, blood splattered into the dark night sky.
Some people wanted to break directly into the yellow cloth wall.
The guards on both sides were not willing to let it go. Several of them rushed forward, and with a few flashes of cold light, the man broke into several pieces and fell to the ground.
The bright red blood dyed the corners of the yellow cloth wall red.
Gradually, the blood dyed the snow and even the sand on the ground red, and that crimson color gradually spread to their feet.
The strong smell of blood rushed into their noses.
It was as if they were surrounded by a river of blood.
If this situation happened under normal circumstances, not to mention others, even an ordinary woman would be scared to death. And Nan Yan, who was three months pregnant, was the target of these wolves and these sand bandits.
But she sat by the campfire, as steady as a rock.
Ran Xiaoyu was very worried.
How could she be in such a dangerous environment when she was pregnant? Nan Yan watched helplessly as the blood sprayed on the yellow cloth, and even some fine blood foam drifted in with the wind and fell on her face.
But she still kept her eyes wide open, watching the scenes with a complicated expression.
Ran Xiaoyu almost wanted to cover her eyes with her hands.
She said, "My Lady, are you really, really not afraid?"
Nan Yan didn't look back, but said calmly: "No."
"Why?"
"because--"
Before she could finish her words, suddenly, amid the deafening sound of killing outside, there seemed to be some more sounds.
At first, they thought it was the wind.
But gradually, they felt something was wrong. If it was just the sound of the wind, it would not have such an overwhelming momentum, nor would it have the power to make even the earth tremble. Ran Xiaoyu protected Nan Yan as they stood by the campfire, as if frightened by the momentum. The flames were swaying constantly, as if trembling.
What's going on?
So, what is it?
After just a moment, the sound was getting closer and closer. It was then clearly heard that it was the sound of heavy horse hooves, breaking through the ice and snow, and descending from the sky with great momentum.
Ran Xiaoyu's heart suddenly trembled.
This is--
Before she could think of anything, the crowd of people killing outside had already felt it, and everyone's movements were delayed for a moment. Everyone turned their heads and looked towards the direction where the cold wind was howling.
A dark shadow.
Like divine soldiers and generals!
Everyone stared with their eyes wide open. Some didn't know what was going on and even thought it was the most terrifying dust storm in this wasteland. But if it was dust storm, it wouldn't have such a suffocating murderous intent.
They could only open their eyes wide and watch the tall black shadow rushing towards them like black lightning.
In an instant, it was right before my eyes.
Achai, who was driving away the wild wolves, was standing at the innermost part and was almost approaching the yellow cloth wall. He opened his eyes wide, and the tall black shadow was reflected in his eyes. Finally, it reached a small area that could be illuminated by the firelight, and he could see it clearly at once.
"That's—"
His words stayed in his throat.
Because next, a sharp steel knife cut off his head in an instant. The round head flew high into the sky, blood spurted out, dyeing a large area of the night sky red, and then fell down, rolling to Nan Yan's feet.
"Empress!"
Ran Xiaoyu exclaimed.
She almost couldn't help but reach out and hold Nan Yan in her arms to prevent her from seeing such a horrific scene. However, Nan Yan kept her eyes wide open, watching the blood spurting and the head rolling down.
As I watched, a man on horseback suddenly jumped in from the yellow cloth wall.
At this moment, there was panic all around, the howling of wild wolves, the screams of people, and the muddy sound and stench of blood and ice and snow made the world seem to have returned to the ancient primitive world.
But there was a figure in Nan Yan's eyes.
The only figure, clear and bright.
