Allure of a Country Maiden-Chapter 1272 - 1269_1

Once Gong Qinghua pulled out the Imperial Guard token, everyone was stunned!

The Imperial Guard token?

The Imperial Guard token on the Emperor’s person?

So...

This infuriated and dispirited person without bearing any regal aura was their Emperor!

How was it that the Emperor’s dominance, was less than that of an imposter!

Who could anticipate the true Emperor to be infuriated and dispirited, while the imposter was calm and composed?

But he was being impersonated! The Emperor’s fury and distress were understandable, weren’t they!

"Kill him!" Gong Qinghua gritted his teeth and said.

The soldiers quickly turned their guns towards Shangguan Xuanyi.

Shangguan Xuanyi realized that his ruse was over as soon as Gong Qinghua brought out the Imperial Guard token!

He swiftly flung a dart, knocking Gong Qinghua’s Imperial Guard token out of his hand, then swiftly engaged him in combat.

Shangguan Xuanyi was swift, and they exchanged more than a dozen blows in an instant, then Gong Qinghua quickly fell at a disadvantage!

If he could seize the moment and kill Gong Qinghua today, then capturing Nangong Country would be even faster!

Gong Qinghua was extremely taken aback! How skilled were Shangguan Xuanyi’s martial arts that he had been constantly suppressed by him?!

Gong Qinghua barely escaped Shangguan Xuanyi’s lethal attack, then irritably said to his bodyguards: "Quick! Kill him!"

At this moment, Shangguan Xuanyi as if flustered and exasperated, told his guards, "Kill him!"

Because after exchanging more than a dozen blows, the soldiers could not discern which one was the real Emperor!

They hesitated for a moment and failed to make a move instantly!

Gong Qinghua felt like vomiting blood!

The commotion here quickly spread! The leader of the Imperial Guard appeared outside the Emperor’s study with numerous soldiers.

Thousands of archers surrounded them all around!

Additionally, there were thousands of sword-wielding soldiers!

Seeing this, Shangguan Xuanyi thought: As expected, they have laid a massive trap waiting for me!

"He’s a fraud, I am the real one! Zhang Yuan! Kill him!" As soon as Gong Qinghua saw the Imperial Guard leader, he immediately said!

He had internal injuries! Why didn’t he know earlier that Shangguan Xuanyi was a better actor than the drama performers!

Gong Qinghua was smarter this time, after speaking he immediately took off his dragon robe to allow the bodyguards to recognize him.

Zhang Yuan heard the Emperor calling his name, this time he was certain who the Emperor was!

"Kill him! The one impersonating!" Zhang Yuan pointed at Shangguan Xuanyi!

Shangguan Xuanyi sneered contemptuously, just depending on them?

He took out two bottles, simultaneously using his thumbs to uncork them, pouring one bottle’s liquid swiftly into the other, then with extreme speed, he threw it towards Gong Qinghua.

The bottle exploded near Gong Qinghua!

Everyone thought it was venom, they could not believe that mixing two liquids would create such a formidable force!

Therefore, everyone blocked their faces with their sleeves and held their breath to prevent poisoning!

Then tragedy struck! They all got injured in the explosion!

Since the bottle was thrown towards Gong Qinghua, who was closest to it, he can be said to have suffered the most severe injuries! ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Shangguan Xuanyi took advantage of the moment of explosion to throw a dart at Gong Qinghua’s vitals, and then when everyone had not reacted, he swiftly left using qinggong.

The surroundings were filled with soldiers, Shangguan Xuanyi had no desire to prolong the battle, he flew onto the roof to escape.

Though there were people on the roof too!

"Release arrows! Set net!" Seeing Shangguan Xuanyi fly to the roof to escape, Zhang Yuan immediately gave the order.

As Shangguan Xuanyi flew onto the roof, thousands of arrows were shot towards him all at once.

Shangguan Xuanyi took out his cloak, swung his hand, and then shook it rapidly at an incredibly fast speed. The incoming flurry of arrows, some were swept up by the cloak, while others were deflected away, aiming back at the Imperial Guard of Nangong Country!

Many bodyguards from Nangong Country were struck by arrows!

Just as Shangguan Xuanyi escaped the shower of arrows, a giant net was thrown towards him!

But the speed of the giant net couldn’t match his Qinggong!

They underestimated him!

Shangguan Xuanyi dodged the net with a swift body movement, swiftly threw a few darts, killing the people on the rooftops, then turns around, using his Qinggong to leave.

"Keep shooting arrows, don’t stop!" Zhang Yuan quickly shouted!

He didn’t believe that with such a large amount of arrows, he could dodge them all!

However, stringing and shooting arrows also take time, after the second shower of arrows was released, Shangguan Xuanyi had already left at a speed they could hardly imagine!

"Quickly chase him, don’t let him escape!" Zhang Yuan quickly shouted!

Today, his subordinates had made a mistake distinguishing the real and fake Emperors!

If they also let the counterfeit Emperor escape!

The Emperor would definitely be infuriated, off with their heads!

Consequently, thousands of bodyguards chased in the direction of Shangguan Xuanyi!

Shangguan Xuanyi’s Qinggong was swift, dodging the bodyguards in a few quick movements and disappearing into the night.

This was his reason for daring to break into Nangong Country’s Imperial Palace alone! He was no longer the person from his attack on Xiyue Country!

His current strength, he was confident that he was not the world’s number one, he was surely the world’s number two at least!

Furthermore, his strength had recently increased!

After avoiding everyone’s gaze, Shangguan Xuanyi quickly arrived at the Cold Palace, went through the tunnel, changed into regular commoner’s clothes in a secret room, left the room and tunnel, then quickly departed using his Qinggong skill.

By this time, the city gates had already closed.

But if Shangguan Xuanyi wished to leave the city, it was not entirely impossible, aside from charging through, he could also gracefully ride a horse out!

Because he had taken quite a few things from Gong Zixuan’s secret room just now! Among those was a token!

Shangguan Xuanyi did not want to waste time, Xiao’er was still waiting for him to bring back the medicine pill to awaken her! The children were also waiting for him to return!

He decided to leave overnight.

Tonight’s haul was massive! Things in the secret room had all been taken by him!

Furthermore, he had injured Gong Zixuan, even though he had narrowly missed hitting a vital point, his darts were poisonous! The new poison developed by Xi’er, if the poison was not counteracted within a day, even the Gods couldn’t save him!

Shangguan Xuanyi found a deserted spot, summoned a horse from his dimensional space, and rode the horse at full speed towards the city gates!

"Open the gate!" Shangguan Xuanyi showed the token, uttering only two words.

The guards at the gate received the token, got a look at it, and immediately showed a respectful attitude!

"Open the city gate! Quickly, open the city gate! Don’t delay the important task of an official!"

The other soldiers promptly opened the city gate upon hearing these words.

Shangguan Xuanyi retrieved the token from the hands of the soldier and swiftly rode his horse away.

The heavy city gate closed off again!

Shortly after Shangguan Xuanyi departed on horseback, people from the palace emerged!

Zhang Yuan spoke to the city gate guards: "An assassin has injured the Emperor, the entire city is on alert! No one is allowed to leave the city!"

Having said this, Zhang Yuan asked the gate guards if they had noticed any suspicious people.

The guard thought of the person who had left the city just now, but he had the token to leave the city, personally issued by the Emperor.

Even if the city was on high alert, anyone with that sort of token could still leave the city!

So, he shook his head.

After hearing this, Zhang Yuan decided to conduct an overnight search!
