Chapter 1867: 093, Shoot to kill 3
The first reason is that this place is remote, far away from the Dayong Capital City for a long ti. Even if Cheng Yuexiu escapes, there will be no way to survive.
The second reason is that He Lienuo has sharp eyes, having already seen that Cheng Yuexiu is not a determined woman. If she really didn’t want to marry into Xiliang, she should have hanged herself with a rope when the marriage was bestowed, so why wait until now?
Speaking of it, He Lienuo is truly a person with sharp insight, recognizing Cheng Yuexiu’s weakness at a glance.
However, this ti, he was still too confident.
It was just past noon, and because the weather was a bit gloomy, it looked as if it were already evening.
He Lienuo was leisurely sitting in a sturdier carriage, eating various collected gourt fruits, feeling quite at ease.
Suddenly, the distressing cries of a few lone wild geese were heard.
He Lienuo’s ear twitched, and the grape in his hand was imdiately thrown away.
The tall and short n guarding the carriage imdiately beca vigilant. Although their skills were not bad, in terms of intuition and awareness of danger, they could not match the sowhat paranoid He Lienuo.
And this ti, it was obviously not a false alarm.
The short man had just placed his hand on his waist and was about to pull out the long whip hanging from it when several sharp arrows ca piercing through the sky straight at him.
“Protect the master!”
The short man let out a long whistle, drew out the whip twice his height from his waist, and with a bounce of his legs, started dancing with the whip in the air.
“Hey!”
The tall man wasn’t idle either. He didn’t have the short man’s agility but possessed a robust physique.
He forcefully lifted He Lienuo’s carriage over his head and then waved his arms, playing with the carriage like a ball in his hands.
But what he was actually doing was using the rotating carriage’s force to deflect the arrows.
He Lienuo, as he threw the grape, had already pressed a hidden button inside the carriage. The panels on the carriage’s walls responded, shielding the people inside the carriage completely and securely.
The tall and short n blocked the rain of arrows densely, but the other people in the bridal team suffered.
The rain of arrows didn’t concentrate on He Lienuo’s carriage but scattered, causing the greatest harm to those defenseless maidservants and palace attendants.
For a while, screams were endless, and the scene before everyone’s eyes was only filled with flying arrows and glaring blood.
The banners that were once proudly held high had long been thrown to the ground in disarray, the neat team had been disrupted, and the palace attendants who luckily escaped the arrows ran frantically like fleeing rats.
However, compared to soone trapped in the carriage, these palace attendants who could still run were indeed luckier.
Because Cheng Yuexiu, sitting in the second carriage, had already been shot full of holes by the incoming arrows.
This carriage was indeed sturdy; it was just a pity that He Lienuo’s montary kindness and her sudden hosickness had sent her down the path of no return.
That wide-open window was the demise of this one-way path.
As the arrows flew, Cheng Yuexiu was still staring dumbly at the endless bridal team behind her, still lanting that she had already left her holand and arrived in a new country.
She even had a mont when she rembered the man she had once fallen in love with during her youthful emotional awakening, and the hateful little village girl that man cherished.
But when the arrows flew and pierced into her chest, Cheng Yuexiu’s chaotic thoughts left only one notion.
Pain, such pain!
So this is what it feels like to be pierced by an arrow. No, perhaps this is what it feels like to die?
Thump!
Thump!
The second arrow, the third, even the fourth, the fifth, she no longer knew how many arrows eventually pierced her body one after another.
The last thought in Cheng Yuexiu’s mind disappeared without her realizing it. She didn’t even think of running away and was nailed dead straight there in the carriage.
A pair of eyes, worn out and devoid of life from the long journey, stared blankly and emptily at the carved floral ceiling of the carriage. Cheng Yuexiu’s final thought before death was self-mockery.
She had thought that coming to Xiliang would start a new life. Even if she was far from her loved ones, as long as she put her heart into her pursuits, she might live well.
But alas, she couldn’t even step into Xiliang’s possibility, only to be shot dead at the very first step into Xiliang Territory.
