Welcome?
Who is he welcoming?
Yun Zong was momentarily bewildered, but soon, all his thoughts were replaced by fear!
"W-How is it you—"
Where Xi Chenzhou had retreated, a figure appeared. The figure was slender and graceful, draped in a magnificent brocade cloak. Her steps were leisurely, yet her aura inexplicably exuded an unapproachable majesty, causing the surrounding soldiers to involuntarily take a step back, their expressions filled with astonishment and doubt.
That is...
A girl with an exceptionally beautiful face.
A girl who looks exactly like the girl in the dragon robe on the city wall!!
A chorus of gasps of astonishment rose up, loud enough for everyone to hear clearly, without the need for screams. Interspersed among them were many gasps of surprise and disbelief.
"How can there be two of them?"
"Why does this woman look exactly like His Majesty?!"
"To be honest, the one on the city wall who was crying his eyes out, and the one the general led out, was quite composed and dignified..."
"I...I think I know something, oh my god...can this even be possible?!"
Ignoring the clamor and doubts, the girl slowly removed her hood: "If you ask how General Xi knew, it was of course I who told him."
The flickering firelight cast a breathtaking crimson hue over her stunningly beautiful eyes, which shone with a captivating clarity and arrogance.
She chuckled softly, her tone seemingly sincere, yet it left Yun Zong speechless and seething with rage:
"I really have to thank Your Excellency for this. You gave me so many travelogues and novels that I've read them so many times that I know them by heart. When I arrived in Qin City, I remembered that a certain travelogue mentioned that hidden path. I told General Xi about it, and General Xi sent people to investigate. It turned out that we were able to send a vanguard team to infiltrate Qin City silently."
She raised her chin, her tone cold and solemn: "Now that I am already in the capital, what is Your Highness still doing holding onto that substitute? My orders—will you obey or not?!"
"How could this be—it's absurd!"
When Yun Zong saw Tong Su's appearance, his body instantly turned cold. Now, his trembling, curled fingers barely pointed at her, and his lips trembled as he tried to say something, but his voice was hoarse and dry.
In his opinion, even if Xi Chenzhou was the one who took Tongsu away from the palace, he should have killed her long ago.
He's already raised an army; how could his goal not be the throne? The title of "Tongsu" is just a name; does he really want to hand over the throne so easily?!
But Yun Zong never expected this.
Xi Chenzhou not only didn't kill Tong Su, but he actually protected her and took her back to the capital!
You really should give her the throne!
fear.
Despair welled up in his heart. Yun Zong's lips lost all color, turning a terrifying grayish-white. Now that his last resort had failed, what way did he have to stop Xi Chenzhou?!
In his panic, he carelessly tossed the terrified stand-in aside and turned to flee.
This action further demonstrated to the thousands of people which of the two girls was real and which was fake. The soldiers roared even more furiously, grabbed their weapons, and charged toward the towering city walls!
Xi Chenzhou drew his bow and nocked an arrow. The sharp arrowhead gleamed like snow, and with a whoosh, it pierced through the firelight and night, tearing the heavens and earth from bottom to top, suddenly shattering the human world and spitting out a spray of bright red blood!
Yun Zong let out a heart-wrenching scream of pain—
He was pierced in the shoulder by the arrow that was suddenly shot, and he fell forward. The arrow pinned him firmly to the city wall, with no way to escape!
