The Singing of the Empty City [6]
Liu Yue’s icy words made the arrogant and disbelieving Yelu Ji’s facial expression to change.
Could it be that what she is saying is true? Then…
She appeared to be calm and composed. Liu Yue lightly picked up the roasted lamb from the table and gave it to Yelu Hong who is sitting next to her. She didn’t even give another glance at the officials in the lower platforms. After hearing her words, the complexion of the officials seated in the lower platforms changed.
In a cold voice, Liu Yue said to Yelu Ji, “You aren’t benevolent and I’m not righteous. Don’t blame me for causing internal strife by sending troops here. After all, if you’re alive, then I am not. If I’m alive, you would be dead. Let’s see my 400,000 soldiers fight against your 100,000 soldiers. I really wonder which side would win.”
Once her icy-cold yet decisive words sounded, a cold wind roll into the hall. The sudden cold wind made everyone feel a chill run down their spine as they shiver in response.
Once the war starts, Sheng Jing would flow rivers of blood…
Outside Chen Lan Hall, one of the people who was concealed within the night immediately rushed away.
Cold wind, as well as thick killing intent, fluttered about outside Chen Lan Hall.
The night was silent. The common people weren’t allowed out at night. They also weren’t allowed to put out fireworks. The empty city of Sheng Jing was deadly silent.
And on this silent night, the sound of horse hooves. .h.i.tting the ground loudly sounded. The sudden sound was piercing in contrast to the dark night. Dust and smoke accompanied the sound, rolled towards the north city gate.
The sound of the horse hooves. .h.i.tting the ground is similar to the sound of thunder in the summer. The rumbling was so loud that the sound seems to almost reach heaven.
In the far distance of the night, there is a faint light. The fiery white light in the distance appears to be similar to a white line. Under the dark night, the bright line of light was so dazzling that people were unable to look away from it.
“Are you speaking the truth?” The general who was guarding the north city gate under the orders of Yelu Ji asked in shock. After listening to the report from the guard that had rushed out from the imperial palace, the general’s expression immediately changed.
“I am speaking the truth. I had heard it with my own ears.” The expression of the guard was extremely ugly.
The general, Wu Sha immediately frowned. If there really is 400,000 soldiers coming, then…
“General, general, there are troops approaching… general.” Just as the general and the guard were talking, the soldier who was responsible for guarding the city gates crawled and rolled in from his post to report.
When Wu Sha heard the news, he didn’t even have time to respond as he rushed towards the city gate.
The night scene is beautiful and elegant. In the sky, the stars twinkled and shined brightly.
Looking into the distance, the white line had slowly spread out, covering almost the entire horizon.
Suddenly, faint thundering sounds pierce through the horizon, heading directly in their direction.
