However, the distance was too close, and it seemed that both the hidden weapon and the bullet were about to hit Prince Yong at the same time, making Zhao Shu's heart jump into her throat.
Just at the critical moment, a rebel suddenly rushed over. He was very fast, and he rushed out almost the instant the gun was fired.
How many seconds does it take for a pebble to fall to the ground? Bullets and hidden weapons are faster than that.
