The Singing of the Empty City [7]
Wu Sha raised his head to look at the sky. The sky was cloudless and clear. It doesn’t seem like it would rain. Then the only explanation would be that the sound that he’s hearing is the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground. When an army of horse hooves hit the ground, the sound produced is similar to thunder.
In the distance, dust and smoke hid the sky and covered the earth. The sand and stone flew along with the cold wind, it almost blew right onto his face. Everything in front of his was dark and obscure, making it impossible to see anything. Only a large number of horse hooves can make such a large scale of sand to act this violently.
Heavens! How many soldiers and horses would be needed to have this kind of imposing manner?
In a flash, Wu Sha began to panic.
“You have to quickly report to Prince Qin. You have to tell him that a large army is approaching. Quickly…”
“A large army is striking…”
A large army is invading…”
In an instant, like the news has wings, the news immediately traveled from the north city gate to the Imperial Palace of Bei Mu.
At this time, the time that Prince Qin has appointed has also arrived. His troops and horses began to march towards the Imperial Palace to force Liu Yue to abdicate her position.
The night is as dark as ink. Killing intent can be felt everywhere.
-In Chen Lan Hall of the Imperial Palace-
The lights are bright and glorious. Yet it couldn’t conceal the dense shadow beneath the fire.
In the tense and quiet moment, Hua Yulong, clad in an armor suddenly broke through the dark night and entered Chen Lan Hall.
“Reporting to Regent, General Han Fei has sent a message via the pigeon.” The person clad in armor bowed as he knelt down to salute Liu Yue.
“Read the message.”
“Already three miles before reaching Sheng Jing. City Lord, please give your instructions.” Hua Yulong said in a loud voice as he reveals the message in his hand.
Once his voice fell, the heart of everyone in the hall instantly tightened. They really came?
And right at this moment, a soldier covered in sweat rushed into the hall from the dark entrance.
Yelu Ji continued to deny that Liu Yue would have 400,000 soldiers approaching Sheng Jing right now. However, his expression immediately changed when he saw the soldier that had just rushed in. That soldier works under him. Why did he come?
The guard that had just arrived glanced around the hall to see the situation. He looked at Yelu Ji and hesitated to speak.
When Third Royal Uncle saw this, he loudly said, “What’s the matter? Speak.”
When the guard said that Yelu Ji didn’t object, he immediately said, “General Wu Sha, who is guarding the north city gate reports that a large army is approaching. The large army is about 3 miles from the city gate. It’s a large scale… large scale army…”
