Chapter 196: Thunder
"Jiang Yao." Zhao Ce called softly, "Su Qianji won't be coming back, so why bother keeping this child?"
"I kept this child because he is mine. What does it have to do with Su Qianji? And even if he doesn't come back, you have no right to dispose of my child."
"Then don't blame me for being rude."
Jiang Yao wanted to laugh. When had he ever been polite to her?
"Release the arrow."
Jiang Yao closed her eyes, concentrating on feeling the spiritual power in her body, but she couldn't help but look at the arrows. She was extremely scared and couldn't calm down.
"Let go!" Zhao Ce roared out this word cruelly.
Jiang Yao's pupils shrank, and he reflexively hugged his stomach, trying to protect himself with the only spiritual power he could summon.
“Whoosh!”
Arrows flew one after another, each carrying a burning medicine bag, and landed beside Jiang Yao, but were blocked by an invisible force.
But Jiang Yao couldn't hold on for long if this continued, she knew it, and Zhao Ce knew it too.
"Let me play it again until she admits defeat."
"You have to let me admit defeat, unless I die."
Jiang Yao held her belly and concentrated on exerting the little spiritual power in her body.
Another arrow flew from the restaurant towards Jiang Yao.
This time it was faster and more than before.
Jiang Yao felt desolate. Was she going to die in this place today?
My child, please be more careful in your next life and don’t come to me like this.
She used up her last bit of spiritual power, but knew she couldn't hold on any longer. She glanced at Zhao Ce and slowly closed her eyes.
Zhao Ce's red clothes made his bloodshot eyes look even redder, and he stared at Jiang Yao with cruelty and ruthlessness.
"Miss Jiang Yao."
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind him. Jiang Yao turned around in surprise, and his breath was covered by a wet cloth.
"Miss Jiang Yao, hold on tight."
It was the voices of Honglin and Nan Ke, as well as the guards of the Anan tribe.
Honglin pulled her into his arms and hugged her: "Miss Jiang Yao, don't worry, we are here to save you."
"Red Forest."
"It's me."
"Is there any water?"
"Yes, Miss Jiang Yao gave it to you."
Jiang Yao took the water, quickly opened it, drank a sip, rinsed his mouth, and then cleaned his nasal cavity.
"Cough cough cough."
Honglin patted her back and said, "We've heard it all along the way. If you don't want to get married today, no one can force you. Don't worry."
"Thanks."
"Don't be so polite with us. You are my first friend in Jincheng."
"But why are you here?"
"It's Mr. Jiang." Honglin's voice was tinged with sadness. "He once served in the northern part of the Anan tribe for several years. He sent us a map of the northern defenses in exchange for the Anan tribe taking Miss Jiang Yao away."
Jiang Yao's eyes were red. She didn't expect that Jiang Ao had paved a way out for her before he died. He knew that if he left, the whole Jincheng would not be able to accommodate her, so he wrote a letter to the Anan tribe.
"But don't worry, Miss Jiang Yao, we won't look at the defense map. You are a friend of the Anan tribe, and there is no price to pay for saving a friend."
"Honglin, take Miss Jiang Yao away quickly."
Lan Ke shouted.
"Miss Jiang Yao, let's go."
"Wait a moment."
Jiang Yao picked up the box on the ground, took off her wedding dress, and then pulled Honglin back.
"Eunuch Yuan, quickly light the city on fire. The Anan tribe's invasion of Jincheng is considered provoking war and all will be killed."
Jiang Yao looked back at the cruel words Zhao Ce said, feeling sad. She and Zhao Ce were destined to be enemies.
"Stop looking and go."
Lan Ke held Honglin in one hand and Jiang Yao in the other, and ran out of the city with them.
After all, this is Jincheng, and there are defenses everywhere. Lan Ke didn't bring many soldiers with him, and he was surrounded as soon as he ran out of the city.
"Miss Jiang Yao, follow Honglin closely." Lan Ke drew his sword and looked around coldly.
"I'm sorry, Master Nan Ke, I've caused you trouble."
"What's the point of saying implicate or not? Miss Jiang Yao wasn't afraid of the disease when she helped my Anan tribe cure the foot-and-mouth disease in sheep. She wasn't afraid of being implicated either."
Honglin took her hand and said, "We will definitely take you away today."
"None of you can leave."
Zhao Ce brought out a large army, more than twice the number of troops brought by Lan Ke.
The city walls were soon filled with archers.
If this continues, if a war breaks out, they will be constrained and will have no power to fight back.
Jiang Yao was startled. He pulled his hand away from Hong Lin and stepped forward. "Zhao Ce, Zhao State and the Anan Tribe have an agreement. The two countries cannot go to war."
"It is the Anan tribe that has violated the agreement." Zhao Ce said resolutely: "I will kill him today."
"No." Jiang Yao panicked: "I promised to go with you, please let them go."
"Miss Jiang Yao, don't go with him. We may not lose."
Jiang Yao looked back at Lan Ke and saw him take out the whistle. She shouted in alarm, "No, no, Master Lan Ke."
She had been to the Anan tribe and knew of their unique skill of calling wolves with a whistle. However, wolves were animals that could only be called upon and not allowed to surrender, as they would most likely hurt themselves.
Lan Ke also knew this, and he looked directly at Zhao Ce and asked, "Prince, do you want to see the wild wolf army of the Anan tribe?"
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Zhao Ce said, almost madly: "I have plenty of soldiers, I don't believe I can't kill a few beasts."
"The prince is ready."
Zhao Ce raised his hand and the archer drew his bow.
"No, no."
Jiang Yao shouted helplessly, but her voice was no match for the shouts of the soldiers.
She didn't want these people to sacrifice themselves for her, and she didn't want Lan Ke and Hong Lin to risk their lives for her.
She doesn't want to be a waste anymore, doesn't want to be a coward anymore, and doesn't want to hide and need protection from others anymore.
"don't want!"
Jiang Yao shouted, and the arrow flew over.
The sky and the earth suddenly changed color, and a bolt of thunder fell, striking outside the city wall and landing accurately on Jiang Yao.
The moment Jiang Yao was struck, he felt his whole body become transparent, and the power was transmitted from his dantian to every part of his body.
My body felt more open than ever before.
Everyone stopped and looked at the girl who slowly rose into the air. All the arrows stopped in mid-air.
Jiang Yao closed his eyes and endured the thunder from the sky.
Zhao Qi once said that obtaining spiritual power was only the beginning of cultivation. If one wanted to truly become a member of the Yutian Kingdom and possess super spiritual power, one had to overcome the test of heavenly thunder. Almost no one in the Zhao Kingdom could withstand the heavenly thunder.
So Zhao Qi only asked her to learn some spiritual power to protect her body, and didn't let her learn too much, for fear that she would not be able to withstand the heavenly thunder.
But none of the thunderbolts that hit her now made her feel uncomfortable. It was like a very light voltage, tingling and numb, but not uncomfortable.
Three bolts of lightning struck down in succession, and then the girl in the air slowly appeared.
"Miss Jiang Yao." Honglin called out, but did not dare to speak again.
The girl floating in the air was still dressed in green. The wind lifted her hair, revealing her beautiful face.
That peerless beauty was breathtaking. Her slowly raised eyelids revealed a pair of fox eyes with an icy look. There was a teardrop mole at the right corner of her eye, and a red dot between her eyebrows, which was extremely charming.
