The white sword light appeared and disappeared in an instant.
The supervisor's eyes widened as he held his neck in disbelief. Blood gushed out from between his fingers and his throat made a gurgling sound. He pointed at Jiang Yu and wanted to say something, but in the end, he could only fall weakly from the horse's back and convulse a few times.
The cold wind blew.
It was desolate and somber.
“……”
The city was terrifyingly quiet. The air was filled with the thick smell of blood, uneasiness, and shock.
Countless gazes were fixed on the young man standing in the middle of the pool of blood.
Fear, anger, hesitation, gratitude…
Within a day, he had killed two important officials of the imperial court and beheaded them on the streets!
This was probably the first time such a treasonous thing had happened during the reign of the empress. No one knew what to do next. No one knew how Jiang Yu would face the wrath of the court and the empress.
The atmosphere fell into a strange silence and oppression. No one spoke.
At the same time.
Outside the Great Wall of Southern Border.
The thundering sound of hooves was like the rumbling of ten thousand hectares of waves. The earth trembled, making people's hearts tremble.
Under the scorching sun, the yellow horses were snorting, and the scaled flower knights were wearing dark and shiny heavy tungsten steel armor. They were like the scythes of the Grim Reaper, cold and murderous.
Half a day ago, the Great Wall of Southern Border was in a state of emergency.
A large number of Horse Gangs were besieging the Great Wall of Nanjiang, and they were about to break through the border defense and march straight into Heluo. Hua Mulan had no choice but to lead the army to help Nanjiang.
However, when the cavalry arrived at the southern border, Hua Mulan stared at the scene in front of her.
A few Horse Gangs were fighting with the Southern Border Guards, but it was far from an emergency. With the Great Wall as a natural barrier, even some old, weak, sick, and disabled soldiers were enough to keep the enemy outside the city wall.
Her heart could not help but sink, and her beautiful face was covered in frost, so cold that it was a little scary.
In the distance.
Suddenly, he saw a wisp of green smoke rising from the northwest, straight into the clouds.
Smoke from the border defense!
The Protectorate House is in danger!
"We've been tricked!"
He whipped the horse whip, and Hua Mulan turned red. She bit her lips tightly, her beautiful eyes filled with anger.
The Great Wall and the protectorates were in sight. The Great Wall had Wei Protector-General's assistance, and the protector-generals had Wei Great Wall's assistance. They were each other's horns, and if the lips died, the teeth would feel cold.
However, someone had deliberately sent her to the Great Wall of Nanjiang and ambushed the Protectorate House. From here, it would take at least five days to travel even if she traveled at full speed. By the time she arrived, she would probably have already settled down.
"Jiang Yu! You have to hold on for me!"
This valiant general at the border defense was in a rare state of panic. Hua Mulan gritted her teeth and ordered the knights to march toward the protectorate headquarters. Now, she could only pray that Jiang Yu, who was in the area around the protectorate headquarters, could hold on.
Governor House, Guanshi.
"Gulp…he killed someone, he killed an important member of the imperial court!”
"It's over, it's over!"
"What should we do?"
"Capture the traitor! This person killed the Military Supervisor and General Xing, so he should be executed by a thousand cuts!! Take him down!"
……
The soldiers were panicking and at a loss. Someone suddenly shouted to take Jiang Yu down.
After all, they were still soldiers of the Tang Empire, and Jiang Yu, who had killed an official of the Tang Empire, had obviously fallen into a rebellious and heinous situation. It was not wrong to capture him, right?
"Who dares? Without my command, no one dares to move!”
Suddenly.
With a thunderous roar, Su Lie, who had regained his senses, suddenly stood in front of Jiang Yu. His burly and broad back was as heavy as a mountain. His muscular arms were open, and his tiger eyes were wide open.
Not a single soldier dared to move.
Su Lie had been on the border for a full ten years. He had risen from a nobody to a general because of his bravery, strategy, decisiveness, and love for his soldiers. He had an extremely high prestige in the hearts of his soldiers.
"Hurry up and leave, Jiang Yu! I'll take care of everything here! Sheng, it was my incompetence that broke the promise of closing the city. Quickly bring your people back to the Golden Court!”
Turning his head, Su Lie shouted at Jiang Yu and Sheng.
With so many pairs of eyes watching, Jiang Yu's crime of killing an official of the imperial court could not be absolved no matter what. Su Lie could not protect him for long.
However, since Jiang Yu stood up for him, Su Lie could not watch Jiang Yu die.
The common man was so angry that his hair stood on end.
A strong man's anger could break mountains and rivers!
Jiang Yu looked at Su Lie calmly and pushed away the arm that was protecting him. He smiled indifferently and said,"General Su, Guan City still needs you. Sheng, go to Thousand Caves City. Jialuo might be in danger. Go back. Since I caused the trouble today, I will bear it alone.”
"All of you, look carefully. This is the head of the supervisor. I cut it off. It has nothing to do with General Su!”
Holding the head of the supervisor high, Jiang Yu looked around.
No one dared to look him in the eye.
He was so young, but he was so sharp and unyielding, making countless self-proclaimed heroes bow their heads in shame.
"Jiang Yu…"
Sheng looked at Jiang Yu in a daze. He was inexplicably touched. This guy would rather betray the imperial court than betray Su Lie and himself?
"Report-the protectorate is in an emergency! Commandant Pei requests for general's assistance!"
At this moment.
A fast horse rushed over. There were a few arrows on the horse. The armored soldier, covered in blood, rolled on the ground and roared with his last bit of strength.
