Chapter 52: The Paranoid Emperor vs. the Convicted Minister's Wife



Chen Yunheng didn't know why Lu Jinyue had nothing in her hand just now, but suddenly such a black thing appeared in her hand for no reason.

And when this thing made a sound, his body seemed to be injured!

He tried to speak, but instead he growled in pain.

The once glorious Crown Prince Shen Yunheng now lies in a pool of blood in a miserable state.

This scene stunned everyone's eyes. They didn't see clearly how Shen Yunheng was injured.

By the time I saw him, he was only half dead.

Of course, Lu Jinyue would not inflict a fatal injury with her first strike. The gunshot hit his thigh, and his moon-white clothes were stained red with blood.

He was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, and he stared at Lu Jinyue as if he wanted to eat her.

Over there, Wu Jin suddenly fell to the ground, his eyes wide open in death.

Three crossbow bolts were stuck in her chest.

Immediately afterwards, a series of crossbow arrows were shot towards Shen Yunheng's men.

They had no time to react and were killed by the crossbow arrows one after another.

Even Lord Qin and several other aides who were hiding behind and preparing to escape were killed by crossbow arrows.

The crossbow arrows they had been pursuing for so long finally appeared to them in this unexpected way.

But they didn't have the chance to study it again.

Everyone was dead, leaving only the seriously injured Shen Yunheng.

The Prince's Mansion had already been surrounded by Shen Yunxiao's men, and he appeared in front of Lu Jinyue in military uniform.

"Ayue!" Shen Yunxiao walked quickly towards Lu Jinyue, his face full of worry.

As soon as Lu Jinyue saw Shen Yunxiao, she quickly put away her pistol, stood up, and hid in Shen Yunxiao's arms with a panicked and frightened look on her face.

"My husband, I'm scared! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to kill me and Xue Ning!" Lu Jinyue leaned her head on his chest and smiled at Shen Yunheng where Shen Yunxiao couldn't see.

Shen Yunheng's eyes widened with anger, his head tilted, and he fainted.

It is very likely that he fainted because of Lu Jinyue's anger.

Shen Yunxiao naturally comforted him for a while.

"Sister! Sister!!!" Wu Lie's hands were pressed behind his back, and his eyes widened when he saw Wu Jin lying on the ground, dead.

He was a big man nearly two meters tall, and it took four people to hold him down when he struggled.

"Chen Yunxiao! Do you think that by killing Wu Jin, you can destroy our power? You are too naive!" Seeing that he couldn't break free, Wu Lie simply calmed down.

Lu Jinyue was just about to say something when there was a commotion at the exit of the secret passage.

Two soldiers were holding torches to illuminate the cave entrance, with knives in their hands.

If the person coming out is one of our own, it's still easy to deal with, but if it's a foreigner, then we'll just raise our sword and kill him with one blow, strangling the enemy in the narrow cave.

But fortunately, it was Hua Wuyang who came out.

He was covered in dust and blood, and it was obvious that he had fought a bloody battle.

And the battle was very fierce!

"These bastards actually ambushed us in the secret passage! They set up so many traps that several of our brothers were injured! This will be settled sooner or later!"

Hua Wuyang wiped the blood off her face fiercely, and when she looked up she saw Shen Yunxiao.

"Your Majesty, you are here! That's great! Don't worry, Miss Lu is safe and sound!" Hua Wuyang grinned, revealing eight big white teeth.

Lu Jinyue was fine, but his sister Hua Xuening was seriously injured.

When Hua Xue Ning heard her brother say this, she felt both angry and amused.

Several people packed up Shen Yunheng and took him away, and took the bodies of Wu Lie and Wu Jin back to the capital.

The plaque of the Prince's Mansion was split into two halves by Shen Yunxiao's sword.

From now on, there will no longer be Shen Yunheng’s Prince’s Mansion in this world.

The most severe punishment will be waiting for him when he returns to the capital!

Although we won a great victory here, General Hua had to go through some trouble.

He had seen all kinds of hardships in marching and fighting, but he encountered an enemy surprise attack hundreds of miles away from the border!

When the scouts sent out did not return within the specified time, General Hua felt something was wrong!

They walked to a plain area where there were no obstructions. If they stood on a high place, they could see everything.

That day, the sky was gloomy and it seemed like a storm was about to come.

But General Hua would never dare to stop to rest in such a place. If there were enemies on high ground, they would surely be trapped!

"Pass the order down, pass quickly!" General Hua frowned and looked at the situation in front of him. He always had a bad premonition.

And the fact is exactly as he thought!

Bean-sized raindrops fell on the ground, creating thousands of rays of light.

Someone shouted "Release!"

Arrows filled the sky and attacked them like clouds covering the sun.

General Hua thought to himself that something bad was going to happen, and immediately reorganized the formation. The shield bearers all raised their shields to block the arrows.

But the effect is minimal, and they are still at a disadvantage in the low position.

The enemies on high ground saw the flaw at a glance and pushed down stones as tall as a person.

The stone rolled down with an impact that disrupted the formation.

The soldiers ran and scattered, but if they ran out from under the shield, they would die!

Just one stick of incense before the battle, they suffered heavy casualties.

"Prepare the crossbows!" General Hua gave an order, and the crossbowmen lined up one after another, and the scattered troops gathered together again in an instant.

"Shoot!" With the majestic command, countless crossbow arrows were shot out.

The enemies standing on high ground were hit by arrows and fell down before they could even see what kind of weapon it was.

General Hua has been through hundreds of battles, and the soldiers he leads are also battle-hardened.

This kind of terrain is similar to a city gate. The team specializing in attacking the city took out their flying claws and threw them upwards. The claws hooked onto the stone wall, and they used the force to fly up.

Another wave of crossbow arrows was fired. Even if the enemy wanted to retreat, it was too late.

Because the soldiers who came up also carried newly made crossbows, which were more useful and sophisticated than their weapons.

After several rounds of fighting, the enemy suffered countless casualties.

The biggest leader ran into the jungle with the remaining people. General Hua sent a team of people to chase them, and the rest of the people hurried to clean up the battlefield and speed up their journey.

When Shen Yunxiao took Lu Jinyue on the carriage back to the inn to rest, Lu Jinyue took out the black pistol.

Shen Yunxiao then realized that this was probably another weapon made by his good queen.

As for what material it is made of or how it works, he doesn't want to know.

He now has absolute trust in Lu Jinyue.

"Husband, this is called a pistol." Lu Jinyue showed the pistol to Shen Yunxiao. "Don't be fooled by its small size, but it's very lethal! Shen Yunheng's leg was injured by this thing. The bullet hit the thigh, and he would be crippled if not killed."

According to modern medical conditions, it is still quite difficult for Shen Yunheng to save his leg without leaving any sequelae.

But there is no need for that.

Such people will be executed if they return.

Shen Yunxiao reached out and touched the pitch-black little thing. It felt slightly cold, and the pitch-black muzzle gave him an inexplicable sense of oppression.
