Chapter 408
Emperor Murong hated his sense of superiority, he no longer concealed his identity and removed the mask on his face. He sneered while meeting Baili Jia Jue’s eyes and said, “Your Highness has to be alive to slaughter my whole clan. Hehe, judging from the prevailing situation, do you really think you will be able to escape? Even the shadow guards that you sent out just now have to return. All the soldiers of the Green Dragon are now under my control. If you’re sensible enough, you better surrender yourself without putting up a fight so as to avoid the people around you from suffering. After all, the fire arrows have no eyes…”
Baili Jia Jue remained silent.
None of the shadow guards were shaken. They remained calm and looked ahead with flashing eyes.
Nonetheless, Baili Jia Jue did not ask for their protection. He took a step forward, slowly and so gracefully that the people around him had forgotten to pull their bows back.
“Do you really think that I would just let you invade and not make any preparation?”
Such a cold and nonchalant tone was the best weapon in a moment like this, echoing in the air and raising a dispute.
Emperor Murong said in disbelief, “The so-called preparation that Your Highness has mentioned before, is it asking for reinforcement from other military barracks? It’s a fool’s errand. None of them will send their troops!”
Master had made an order himself. All the military barracks under the four influential families were not allowed to leave their encampments!
This time, Baili Jia Jue would, certainly, die!
“Who told you that no one would send troops?”
All of a sudden, an indolent voice that sounded cold could be heard from the fog in the west direction.
“Who’s there!” Emperor Murong was irritable as he was interrupted. He waved his arm gesturing all the archers to raise their bows and they started shooting up the dark figure.
The voice vanished for a mere second and reappeared soon after!
“Me.”
The fog slowly drifted away, leaving a tall and slender silhouette. This person’s legs were long and straight, they were more beautiful than those of the models. She stood in the rolling smoke, her long black robe moving along with the breeze. There was a unique handgun strapped at her waist. It was of the highest quality with an excellent streamlining, shining through its simplicity and luxuriousness.
The silhouette was standing in the white fog. Her lips were curled up a little at the corners, looking charming and evil. However, they were unable to see her face clearly.
They could only vaguely see her indolently putting her long fingers on the gun and looked at Baili Jia Jue not far away with a faint smile on her face. Her aura was perfectly harmonious and penetrating.
A row of people was dimly visible behind her. All of them were wearing black armor and they were unarmed. They were tall and slender, their marching speed was as fast as lightning.
People were prone to disregard their appearances. Looking from afar, they looked like a black tilted mountain that was arriving soon.
The soldiers were bewildered, they were holding bows in their hands but their hands were shaking.
“It’s a flag!”
The black thing that was dancing up and down above the army, was actually a huge flag!
There were two lively and vigorous words flourished in calligraphy on the flag… Hidden Army!
The Hidden Army??!!
“That’s… that’s…” The magistrate was unable to say anything. His leg gave way, sending him tumbling backward.
Whoever had joined the military before would definitely know that the Hidden Army was the one and only ingenious army in the world!
Emperor Murong gazed at Helian Wei Wei as she moved closer. His eyes went wider and wider, as though he saw a grim reaper walking out from hell.
Meanwhile, Murong Changfeng was standing beside Emperor Murong, he stopped breathing for a second.
He was impressed and astonished!
But most of all, he felt an unknown fear!
Everyone thought that the Hidden Army was wiped out after the family had changed hands.
Unexpectedly, it appeared without warning!
And the leader…
Murong Chang Feng lifted his head abruptly and looked at the face of the slender figure.
It’s her!
It’s actually her!
Murong Changfeng’s eyes were jerking violently.
All these years, the reason he never interfered when the others bullied Helian Wei Wei was because he thought she was an id*ot. He thought she would be of no use to him in any aspect, which was why he obeyed the order of his father to try by hook or by crook and divorced her!
But now… she actually became the leader of the Hidden Army!?
A huge feeling of remorse flooded his heart, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to hide the feeling.
So, it turned out that he had long since regretted, but the feeling was stronger than what he would have felt earlier.
Yun Biluo stood at the corner of the wall and witnessed the scene before her. Her face went pale.
She thought Helian Wei Wei had left after listening to what she said.
Why?
Why would she turn up at this place together with the Hidden Army?
How did she get such a powerful army?
Yun Biluo bit her thin lips, she said that Helian Wei Wei was a coward to run away, but now… this was such a major slap in the face to her!
Unlike the others, Emperor Murong was not flustered at all, so what if they are the Hidden Army.
No matter how great they are, I still have more people than them!
Emperor Murong thought of his reinforcement and sneered at Helian Wei Wei, “A trash like you is quite an eye-opener for me this time.”
“You’re welcome,” No one could beat Helian Wei Wei at being cocky. She looked at Emperor Murong and smiled dazzlingly. “This is nothing. You’ll have a thorough experience of the power of the ingenious army when we beat you until you cry your heart out for your father and mother.”
Emperor Murong’s face turned dark as he was furious. He gritted his teeth and said, “The chances of winning and losing are uncertain. You want to contend my thousands and thousands of troops with your 100 people? You’re so pathetically dumb.”
“Pathetically dumb?” Helian Wei Wei’s hand brushed against the gun, lifting the corners of her mouth into a smile and said slowly, “You’re the pathetic dummy. Have you ever wondered why none of the soldiers from the remaining military barracks came since you invaded the city with your troops.”
Emperor Murong would never discover the problem if Helian Wei Wei did not ask the question.
Upon hearing her question, the expression on Emperor Murong’s face changed completely, and his face was ashen!
He dragged the soldier beside him closer and growled, “Where are the soldiers from the other military barracks?”
“I, I don’t… I don’t know.” The soldier who was scared trembled with fear.
Emperor Murong pushed him away with force and rebuked, “Trash!”
Right at this moment, a flurried soldier rushed over, the hat on his head was a bit slanted. He panted while reporting, “P… prince, there are enemy troops outside the city. We are not sure which military barrack they are from. The front and back of our reinforcements are outflanked by them, hindering the way to the city!”
“Stop panicking!” Emperor Murong gave him a slap as the soldier’s words had obviously cracked their spirit. He waved his long sleeves, forced back the confusion in his mind and sneered, “Listen to me, everyone! Even though they are the ingenious Hidden Army, there are only 100 of them and we have thousands and thousands of army. It is impossible for them to defeat us! There’s nothing to worry about. Raise your bow and we can defeat them with only one bow from each of you!”
“Is that so?” Helian Wei Wei lifted her beautiful brows upon hearing that. She turned to talk with Little Bald Head behind her and smiled wickedly, “Little Seven, go and bring Third Aunt the gun. The Prince wants to win through numerical superiority, so we would have to change our weapon too.”
