Prodigious Princess Qin Zetian - Chapter 37

I called for my father’s horse, with the use of one unique whistle.

“The both of you, be careful”

They nodded, then Weishen hugged Roushi.

“Girls no matter what happens, tie your identity jades to your waste tightly. I need to go now”

I shifted my body. When Maximus came I jumped on air and landed on him. I shifted the position of my body and ride on top of the horse safely. The sword on my scabbard dangled dangerously as we travel the lonely night. From where I am positioned I hurriedly move to the back of the line. The leader of the guards is an imperial shadow guard and his strength is good. Captain Yang Yulo an infantry commander who got a promotion from the emperor.

“Captain, make sure that no matter what happens today you will protect the Princess and my fourth sister. No harm shall befall on them, make sure you arrive safely to the manor. And have the place a lock down. I have ways to enter the manor so do not worry about me. This journey won’t take long, I will stay here because I have some matters to attend to. Keep everyone safe”

“Does the young miss intend to stay?”

“Hmm, I intend to, send a message to my parents that they shouldn’t worry for me. I am safe no matter where I go”

“Then this servant shall wish for the miss’ safety”

I stopped at a good distance and stared at the leaving carriages.

Coldness flashed my eyes, the wind blew stronger this time. And the clouds covered the moon.

The leaves sang a haunted lullaby and the bats flew together.

Shiver run down my spine.

“Show yourselves!”

Assassin uniformed guards surrounded me. And a carriage suddenly appeared in front. The exterior was covered in a luxurious coat of black and the gold patterns is something a royal family member possess. I smirked, what did I do this time? I wonder how bad my luck is for attracting so many imperial members.

The guards move by batch as they tried to rope me in. I used tiny blades to slit through their necks and my horse shocked me when it grew some wings. A batch of guards dyed the soil red as they fall to the abyss of nothingness. Another batch set their arrows at me, luckily I have a good sword.

I brandished the sword and the arrows flew back, killing half of their batch. Then a short dagger flew out of the carriage, it has eyes. It flew so fast but what made me dumbfounded is when I was suddenly trapped in the arms of a tall man. Who has a the dagger at hand pointing towards my veins. My arms are stiff and my legs are weak. How did he appeared?

The speed of a lightning meant years of training. But how did he do that?

Trapping me between his arms with a dagger on my neck.

“We need to talk” he said

And that changed everything.
