Time passed quickly.
After running for nearly an hour, Qin Mu could already vaguely see the pass ahead.
"Honey pomelo fragrance, is this the only pass west of the Imperial City?”
"Although I've never left the palace before, I've read in the books that there's only one Sunset Pass in the west of the city." After passing the pass, we will reach Yuzhou."
"Do you know how to ride a horse?" Qin Mu pointed at the twelve horses running ahead and asked.
Pomelo Fragrance was stunned for a moment before nodding."Yes, the palace has taught me."
When Qin Mu heard that, he took out another cigarette and lit it up.""Then, after you pass the first hurdle, you can lead two horses and walk the rest of the way yourself.”
"Ah?" Mi Youxiang's body trembled as she looked at Qin Mu in disbelief. She mumbled,""What…what do you mean?"
"I mean it literally." Qin Mu exhaled a mouthful of smoke and said faintly,""After we pass the trial, we'll kill your father and split up. Let's part ways here."
Mi Youxiang's eyes instantly turned red. She grabbed the corner of Qin Mu's clothes and cried,""Are you joking?"
"No, I'm serious."
"Then I won't leave! I want to go with you!"
Qin Mu turned his head and looked at the pomelo fragrance on her face. He said seriously,""Only corpses can follow me.”
"Corpse…corpse?" Pomelo Fragrance was confused.
Qin Mu patted the spatial pocket on his waist and didn't explain further.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the pass.
The general guarding Sunset Pass stood at the top of the pass and vaguely saw the Emperor's carriage. Although he did not know why there were no guards, he still led the soldiers to open the door and respectfully welcome them.
As the carriage got closer and closer, the general could clearly see the scene inside the carriage. He was in a mess, and his head was buzzing.
Transforming the lantern in his hand into a long scythe, Qin Mu pressed it against the emperor's body and said loudly,""Get out of the way and let the carriage pass. Otherwise, I'll pierce a few bloody holes in your emperor's body.”
The general came back to his senses and pulled out his sword with a clang. He pointed it at Qin Mu and roared,""Release the emperor! Aren't you afraid of being cut into pieces?"
Qin Mu decisively used the scythe tip to dig into the emperor's body, creating a bloody hole.
"Ah!" The Emperor screamed.
"These subordinates of yours are really vicious…"
"Get lost! Get lost! Get lost!"
"Your Majesty…"
"Puchi!"
Another bloody hole…
"Get lost!" The Emperor was on the verge of tears.
He was angry, painful, and aggrieved.
Only then did the general realize what was going on. He hurriedly led his soldiers to make way for the carriage to pass.
After leaving Setting Sun Pass, Qin Mu turned the sickle back into a lantern and sat down. He turned his head and said to Pomelo Fragrance,""In a while, find a fork in the road and leave on a horse. I'll continue to drive the carriage to help you divert the pursuing army.”
Mi Youxiang bit her lips, lowered her head, and shook her head.
"No, I don't. I'm not leaving. I want to go with you.”
"I told you, only corpses can follow me.”
"Then I'd rather become a corpse!" Mi Youxiang raised her head. Her big tearful eyes were filled with seriousness.
Qin Mu was stunned and looked at her in disbelief.
Rumble…Rumble…Rumble…
At this moment, Qin Mu's ears twitched and he heard a faint sound. He hurriedly stood up and looked behind him.
Behind the carriage, dust and smoke rose everywhere. Hundreds of cavalrymen maintained a triangular formation and chased after them on horseback.
"Elite!"
"They're chasing after us."
Qin Mu's expression turned cold, and he turned his head to shout at the three horse coachmen,""Stop the car!"
Hearing this, the coachmen hurriedly pulled on the reins and slowly stopped the carriage amid a series of neighs.
Qin Mu picked up the dying emperor and transformed the lantern in his hand into a sickle again, placing it on his neck.
With the speed of the carriage, it would never be able to outrun the warhorses.
Therefore, if he wanted to get out of this situation, he still had to negotiate.
Five minutes later.
Accompanied by the noise of horse hooves, the cavalry surrounded the carriage.
Under the protection of more than ten guards, the second prince rode his horse out and looked at Qin Mu.
"Second…Second Prince?" Pomelo Fragrance covered her mouth in shock.
"Oh?" Qin Mu sized up the youth and said,""So you're the second prince of the Qilin Palace?”
Second Prince's expression was cold and he didn't say a word. He took a bow from the guard and nocked an arrow. He aimed at Qin Mu and pulled it full.
A look of astonishment flashed in Qin Mu's eyes, but he concealed it immediately and said solemnly,""I advise you not to move. Otherwise, I'll cut off your father's head.”
The Emperor spat out a mouthful of blood and said weakly,""Lin 'er, don't listen to him. He won't…"
"Sou!"
Before the Emperor could finish speaking, the Second Prince let go of the arrow!
The sharp arrow brought with it a sharp whistling sound as it accurately hit the Emperor's throat…
"Drink…drink…"
Blood flowed out from the wound on his throat. The Emperor looked at the Second Prince in disbelief and gasped.
He had wanted to persuade his second son not to believe Qin Mu's words, but he had never expected that his son would actually make a move.
And so decisive.
The horse grooms were shocked.
Pomelo Fragrance was also shocked.
Qin Mu's face turned even darker, and he immediately understood the second prince's plan.
Once the emperor died, the next emperor would naturally be chosen.
The Second Prince, who had caught the 'murder', was naturally the best candidate.
Qin Mu released the useless emperor who was still twitching and took out his spatial pocket to put him in. He then tightened his grip on the sickle and pulled Pomelo Fragrance behind him.
"The life of the royal family is really exciting.”
