Chapter 435: Chapter 435 Nangong Yi’s True Feelings(5)_1

"Really?"

Huo Yuan was overjoyed.

Cai Wei gave a bitter smile and said, "Of course it’s true, but what could be done even if it is true?"

At that moment, the voice of the Chief Guard suddenly rang out.

"Prepare——"

The archers heard their superior’s command. Their bows were drawn fuller, and they seemed ready to shoot the arrows in their hands at any time. Ready to riddle Cai Wei with holes.

Huo Yuan hugged Cai Wei, whispering, "Don’t worry, my sister, Mr. Huo won’t let you die. Just don’t forget what you’ve just said..." Then, protecting Cai Wei behind him, he loudly said, "Hold on! The Huo family possesses a life-giving Iron Scroll Dan Book granted by the late Emperor. It provides one death exemption."

The Chief Guard heard this, immediately waved his hand, telling his men to pull back their bows and arrows. He looked at Princess Zhao Yang and asked, "How should we go about this, Princess?"

Princess Zhao Yang was also taken aback and asked Li Ruizhu, "What is this about?"

Li Ruizhu thought for a moment and said, "I’ve heard my mother say that during the war between the Great Jin Kingdom and the Liaodan Kingdom, the Huo Family donated eight hundred thousand taels of military salary to our Great Jin soldiers and also provided two hundred thousand loads of food. The late Emperor appreciated the Huo Family’s loyalty and righteousness and bestowed upon them an Iron Scroll Dan Book. If any of the Huo descendants committed a grave crime that is unforgivable, they could use the Dan Book to be exempted from death once."

When Princess Zhao Yun heard this, she let out a cold snort and said, "Even if the descendants of the Huo family were exempted from death, what does that wretched slut have to do with it? Chief Guard, order them to shoot!"

The Chief Guard hesitated and said, "Princess, this..."

Li Ruizhu shouted, "What’s the matter? Didn’t you hear Princess’s commands? Hurry up and shoot!"

The Chief Guard was frightened by Li Ruizhu’s shout and shrank his neck. Although this legitimate daughter of the great general seemed gentle and amiable, she was not to be messed with when she lost her temper. Everyone knew to mess with the crown prince rather than her. Evidently, this Miss was quite formidable.

He quickly raised his hand again, ordering his archers to ready their bows once more.

Seeing them raise their bows and arrows again, Huo Yuan, protecting Cai Wei behind him, was shocked and said, "My Huo family has the life-saving Iron Scroll Dan Book, do you dare to disobey the edict?"

"Enough talking, shoot!"

Princess Zhao Yang gave a low shout and glared fiercely at the Chief Guard.

The Chief Guard panicked under her gaze, hastily raised his hand, ready to bring it down to command his men to shoot once more. However, before his hand could come down, a powerful force suddenly struck him from behind, sending him flying five or six meters away. He managed to stop himself only after he landed.

"Pop——"

The Chief Guard landed heavily and spat out a mouthful of black blood. Struggling to get up, he wanted to see who dared to take a shot at the royal guard.

However, when he raised his head and saw King Qin’s face, as cold as ice, his rage faded away, leaving not even a spark.

"Kin... King... Qin..."

"Get out——"

Nangong Yi shouted angrily, glaring at him.

At this moment, if it weren’t for the many official sons and daughters present, Nangong Yi would have really wanted to smack him to death with a palm strike. If he had come a moment later, the little girl might have been shot through with arrows. The thought of it made his heart ache.

"Yes..."

The Chief Guard performed a head-knocking ritual, crawled up, and left with his subordinate archers in a staggering manner.

"Brother——"

Seeing Nangong Yi angry, Princess Zhao Yang timidly called out. Although her brother had been loving her since childhood, she was still scared of him. She knew her brother wasn’t as docile as he seemed. When he was angry, even their mother had to give him face. This time, it seemed like her brother was truly angry!
