Su Xi-er glanced at the candlestick on the table, being sure to take a match and a safety fuse before following him out .
She saw Yu Xiao heading towards the entrance of the street when she stepped out of the Literary Association . Minding her own business for now, Su Xi-er immediately went to the shop she had seen earlier and kicked the door in .
Darting in, she knelt as she hid in a secret spot, pressing her ears to the ground . She could only hear soft sounds of horse hooves for a moment before they vanished .
Wei Mohai has instructed everyone to dismount their horses; or perhaps Yu Xiao’s medicine has worked .
However, Wei Mohai isn’t so easily dealt with just by using some fainting medicine . Thus, Su Xi-er could only quicken her movements as she lit the safety fuse and piled a small bit of straw on top of it .
She was afraid that the fire later would implicate the commoners’ houses nearby; thus, she had used the safety fuse to limit the damage to this one house while still preventing Wei Mohai from completing his mission .
Just as she was fanning the flames, Su Xi-er heard the sound of swords being drawn from outside . She stood up and looked out through the window, only to see Yu Xiao surrounded .
Despite that, Yu Xiao took the wine pot from his waist and began to drink, slowly dealing with any guards who approached him as he drank .
Although his moves seemed like they had no technique to them, every punch of his was very structured and profound . Su Xi-er’s gaze deepened . Yu Xiao is fighting with Drunken Fist .
I have heard of Drunken Fist a long time ago, but I haven’t witnessed it personally .
Su Xi-er observed the scene carefully, noticing that Wei Mohai was holding up his bow and preparing to kill Yu Xiao with one shot . She immediately hastened to fan the flames of the fire before running out of the house and hiding in a dark corner of the street .
Once the straw house was set ablaze, Su Xi-er shouted at the top of her lungs . “Fire! Quickly put out the fire!” She picked up a stone and nimbly aimed it at the window of a commoner’s house .
Doing the same to a few other houses in the vicinity, Su Xi-er went to a neighbouring bustling street, and proceeded to continue striking people’s houses with stones .
Rattle! Soon enough, the noise was enough to have many commoners awake . Candlelight immediately began to light the windows of each home .
Wei Mohai lowered his bow . We can’t finish Prince Yun’s mission tonight . Tomorrow, we will definitely… His brows furrowed, and the hand grabbing the bow was very tightly clenched . He saw more and more candlelights coming to life, accompanied by commoners who had come to find the source of the fire .
With a flash, Yu Xiao drew the sword from the waist of an Imperial Army Guard, hurling it towards Wei Mohai’s stomach as he laughed .
The sword was thrust at Wei Mohai with sufficient strength to pierce straight through . Spinning his waist in an attempt to dodge, Wei Mohai was just a bit late; and although it didn’t pierce through him as intended, the sword caught him on the side of his waist .
He carefully sized up Yu Xiao, immediately raising his horsewhip . “Everyone, retreat immediately!”
Apart from the few guards who remained on the ground because of Yu Xiao’s medicine, the rest of Wei Mohai’s forces immediately retreated .
Yu Xiao kicked the guards and coldly snorted . The imperial family’s guards are really useless!
Currently, the commoners from all around the area had woken up and found the source of the commotion . With the fire getting increasingly larger, people began to panic and try to extinguish the fire with their water buckets .
After two hours, the fire was finally under control .
Su Xi-er walked out and informed the commoners, “There are people lying on the ground in the distance . ”
Because they were so busy with putting out the fire, the commoner’s hadn’t bothered taking in their surroundings . Now that they were reminded, however, they immediately spotted several bodies lying in the distance .
Everyone instantly went forward to investigate . By the time the commoners arrived, Yu Xiao had already stowed away his wine pot . “These few people are the Imperial Army guards from the imperial palace . I don’t know what’s going on, but they suddenly started yelling and trying to kill me . . . ”
Su Xi-er suddenly interrupted him . “You belong to the Literary Association, so killing you is tantamount to attacking the Literary Association . Since His Majesty doesn’t control the court, the Imperial Army was definitely acting under orders from Prince Yun . ”
The commoners were all baffled . “What’s happening? Prince Yun has always loved the citizens and treated the scholars leniently . It’s impossible for him to attack the Literary Association . ”
Yu Xiao smiled and crouched down, pulling apart the Imperial Army guards’ clothes . “Look, all of their shoulders have the imperial palace’s symbol imprinted . ”
Fear appeared on the commoners’ faces as they hollered, “Prince Yun actually attacked the Literary Association!” Their voices became increasingly loud, eventually echoing through the night sky .
