Consort of a Thousand Faces - Chapter 104

Chapter 104
Every plant and bush was at the same time familiar and strange . That year, when the civil unrest had just ended in Nanzhao, she had returned to great fanfare . She had been happy and optimistic for Nanzhao's future at the time, believing that at the end of the bitter struggle were happier days .





All those endless hopes ultimately turned into nothing . They're really such 'happy days' .

Su Xi-er sarcastically sneered . Yun Ruofeng's horse carriage was just behind her . Doesn't he love to ride horses, why is he sitting in a horse carriage the whole way?

She hadn't made a move for days, but now… Su Xi-er took out a thin and sharp pine needle from her sleeve . She had secretly picked it up from the road, being sure to meticulously select an extra 'thick and st . u . r . dy' pine needle . As long as I exert enough force, there shouldn't be any problem with piercing this into the horse's leg .

Let's see how he's going to rest calmly in the horse carriage .

A glint flickered across Su Xi-er's eyes, and she quickly lifted the curtain to glance around . All of the imperial guards on horses were looking straight ahead, with none of them paying attention to their surroundings .





If I don't do it now, I won't have another opportunity . Su Xi-er's eyes narrowed slightly; using just enough strength, she flicked her wrist, sending the pine needle straight into the horse's leg .

The horse that was p . r . i . c . ked in the leg suddenly neighed and raised its head as if it was provoked by something, crazily running towards the bush on the side of the road .

Chaos immediately ensued, with many of Nanzhao's soldiers calling out to Prince Yun as they urged their horses to chase after his carriage .

Su Xi-er knitted her brows . It was just a pine needle . Even if I had used a lot of force, the horse should at most just neigh and kneel down after its leg trembled . It's impossible for it to have freaked out like it did .

In the middle of her thoughts, the sound of galloping horses accompanied the whistle of arrows in flight . Su Xi-er didn't even have time to open the curtain of her carriage when she heard the thuds of a few arrows harshly striking her carriage .

Su Xi-er immediately became alert, dodging to the left as an arrow shot through the carriage and nailed itself to the wall .

With the situation outside becoming more and more chaotic, staying inside the carriage would only get more dangerous as time went on . I must get out right away . With this in mind, Su Xi-er lowered her head and got out immediately .

As she dismounted the carriage, an arrow suddenly flew in the direction of her head . Su Xi-er immediately moved to evade, but as the arrow grew closer, it was shot down by another .

Ding! Both arrows landed on the ground . Su Xi-er looked up and coincidentally saw Pei Qianhao putting his bow down . He was the one who had saved her when she was in danger .

"Someone is attempting an a . s . sa . s . sination!" A loud voice could be heard from the bush . A horse then raced out from the undergrowth- it was the horse that had pulled Yun Ruofeng's carriage . The reins had fallen to the ground, and the carriage was separated from the horse .






Unruffled, Pei Qianhao urged his horse towards Su Xi-er, grabbing her hand and throwing her onto another horse .

"Head down, lie on the back of the horse, and pull the reins . " After that, Pei Qianhao raised his whip and lashed it heavily on the horse's b . u . t . t .

The horse raced forward towards the capital city .

Su Xi-er turned her head to look behind her . Men clad in black rushed in from all directions to fight with the imperial guards of Beimin, and the soldiers of Nanzhao .

These people must have been laying in wait since this morning . It was not my pine needle that caused the horse to go crazy, but that these people had drugged the horse .

What a coincidence for these people to make their move right when Pei Qianhao is about to enter Nanzhao's capital .

Su Xi-er narrowed her eyes slightly before sitting up straight after the horse had run for some time . Her legs sandwiched the horse while her right hand pulled the reins back, and her left hand patted the horse's head .

The familiarity in her movements showed that not only could she ride a horse, she could also ride it well . Finally, the horse gradually became obedient and stopped under her commands .

Su Xi-er manoeuvred the horse to head towards another direction in the outskirts . Since they're hiding in the dark, I can do the same . Who's the culprit behind the attack? Was it Yun Ruofeng who deliberately put on a show, or was it really an a . s . sa . s . sination?
