Ch.424 Identity Exposed (1)
Being completely surrounded, the only ones who could remain calm were only Gong Jue and Gong Yimo. They both looked at each other, as if both gaining strength in each other’s gaze.
Long Hanyan who had been hiding in the shadows the whole time was furious when she saw them having a heart to heart moment right now! She loved Gong Jue bitterly, but he would not even spare her a glance, and yet he was so protective of another woman! In a fit of rage, she actually walked out despite Gong Shi trying to stop her!
Only, she was now disguised and clothed conservatively. She had also drunk a medicine that made her voice sound hoarse. Neither Gong Jue nor Gong Yimo was able to actually recognize her for a moment, but it was also possible they never had much of an impression of Long Hanyan to begin with.
As soon as she stepped out, she immediately drew everyone’s attention. However, she only had eyes for Gong Jue, and they were filled with hate! And also...adoration.
“As soon as I give the order, these...innocent people will immediately be shot to death!”
Her gaze was resentful as they fell on Gong Yimo. “Even if you are good at martial arts, I’m sure...you wouldn’t be able to save more than a few of them, right?”
Her stare made Gong Yimo feel uncomfortable.
“What do you want?”
“It’s simple!”
Long Hanyan sneered at Gong Yimo as her eyes grew eager. “First, kneel in front of me and I’ll tell you!”
“Kneel?”
Gong Jue laughed, “Foolish and delusional.”
His words of mocking caused Long Hanyan’s face to blush red!
“Me? Foolish and delusional?”
With a wave of her hand, the archers on the roofs on the two sides drew their strings further back! The tense air of the atmosphere made many of the commoners very scared.
This move was unwise in Gong Yimo’s eyes.
Indeed, with so many civilians protecting her, anyone who wanted to touch her would have to first weigh their options. After all, with so many commoners dead or injured, this will no longer be a private matter. The emperor definitely wouldn’t ignore this. So, the previous group had only wanted to kill the commoners to cause chaos.
But when you encounter someone crazy like the other party who had no regard for anything, they really may not care for any of their lives.
Long Hanyan was pleased with that reaction. “So, finally scared? If you’re scared, then come kneel in front of me and we can talk about the rest later.”
She was looking at Gong Yimo with expectant eyes! Come, get down on your knees, kneel in front of her! She wanted to humiliate her, and get revenge for her lost fingers, and for having her beloved snatched away!
Gong Jue’s sword appeared in his hand once more. For some reason, the gaze that person used to look at his Imperial Sister really made him want to spill some blood.
Gong Yimo sighed and easily leapt off the parade carriage, walking towards Gong Jue.
“Kneel?”
Gong Yimo looked at Gong Jue, but her words were aimed at Long Hanyan.
“Do you know what happened to the last person who made me kneel?”
Gong Yimo’s words struck Long Hanyan. How could she not know what Gong Yimo dealt with Su Miaolan back then?
And now, through the crowd of guards, she watched from afar at how well they matched each other as they stood in a pair, and her heart felt even more twisted.
“Not kneeling, huh? Hmph! Shoot!”
At her command, all the archers prepared their bows!
On the other end, Gong Yimo and Gong Jue seemed to move with a tacit understanding! Gong Yimo rushed straight at Long Hanyan while Gong Jue and the guards leaped up! Before the rain of arrows fell, they shielded everyone behind them. For some time, the sounds of clanging would not stop!
The common people were so frightened that their legs grew weak and they didn’t dare to move. They were being protected at the very center. Meanwhile, Gong Yimo rushed forward with her blade and was instantly encircled by a dozen experts! If she wanted to make a move at Long Hanyan, then she would have to deal with these people first!
“Kill! Kill them all!”
