Chapter 409: Soldiers Surrounding City (2)
The surrounding noises from outside only grew louder. Even Jin Yun could hear them now. “There’s no time! Let’s go! This time, listen to me!”
Although Gong Yi Mo didn’t want to, the troops were close to barging in. Not wanting to hold them up even longer, she waved her hand and a sword appeared in her palm. She led Jin Yun onto the roof of the building and fled in a random direction!
They had planned for this though. Just as she leapt into the air, numerous arrows rained towards her! Jerking Jin Yun to the side, zing zing zing!–the arrows landed onto the roof tiles, emitting sounds of deadly force.
Gong Yi Mo led Jin Yun to hide underneath the rim of a building, turning to him and firmly stating, “I can’t take you with you. It would be too dangerous.”
She was truly worried about the possibility of becoming overwhelmed and letting Jin Yun get hurt.
“No!” Jin Yun tightly held onto her sleeves, his gaze determined and said, “I must go!”
Gong Yi Mo stopped refuting him, hugging Jin Yun tightly to leap, escaping to the outside!
However, Jin Sheng knew of Gong Yi Mo’s abilities and reputation, so he had brought quite a large number of people. He not only called upon the 20,000 soldiers stationed freely in the city, but the troops in the imperial palace as well. Whoever could trap Gong Yi Mo and catch her alive would be heavily rewarded!
But catching her alive didn’t mean she couldn’t have sc.r.a.ped skin or a broken leg. Arrows could be used, as well as poisonous gas. With all these weapons being used, the entire imperial city was a wreck!
They no longer cared about Yun Er’s safety!
“Your Majesty! Yun Er is your flesh and blood! He’s in Gong Yi Mo’s hands because she’s definitely brainwas.h.i.+ng him! How could you not care about Yun Er’s safety?!”
On her horse, Yun Jin frantically pleaded with the emperor, but for some reason, the emperor who was usually lenient and kind to her had a cold look on his face. His mind had been made up already!
She was simply a woman with too lacking a knowledge of the way the world worked. She didn’t understand that in a man’s heart the most important thing wasn’t a woman, but power.
And so she desperately begged, hatred becoming to fill her heart, but Jin Sheng didn’t hear a single word that she spoke.
A woman that even the Yu Emperor could not catch and someone he wasn’t willing to release was obviously someone Jin Sheng wanted to capture as well. The legendary firearm! He had wanted to meet her for a long time!
Gong Yi Mo felt that the usually quiet capital was now buzzing with activity from troops! From every corner, the metallic clinking of armor could be heard! It left the air with a cold breeze, as if the mountain wind had blown over.
Every house had bolted its doors. Full of fear, the citizens had no idea of what was going on. The only thing that was clear was if they decided to leave the house at this time, they’d definitely lose their life!
The entire imperial city appeared to be a ghost town. Even the travelers had all disappeared. Besides the troops, no one else was outside wandering the streets.
Gong Yi Mo surveyed the surrounding from a high place. From there she saw the movements of a fire dragon*. Tn*: referring to the people with torches
The streets and small roads were all filled with people. The smoke they inhaled was from the flames that the oil upon the torches had produced. There was no way the smoke wasn’t annoying.
She had been completely trapped!
Every exit was guarded! There was also no moat surrounding the city. It was impossible for her to escape with Jin Yun. On top of that, this was Jin Yun’s home. She couldn’t take him away like this.
So, she looked Jin Yun in the eye, saying softly,
“Go back.”
