An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 227 An Unexpected Incident (Part One)

Yun Shang was shocked and her mind went blank. She almost fell down from the horse.

Prince Jing's heart skipped a beat as he saw the scene. He roared at Yun Shang, "Yun Shang! What

are you doing? " She was riding on a horse and lost in thought. Did she know that if she fell down from

the horse, there were thousands of troops behind her even if she didn't die. If the soldiers behind her

didn't have time to rein the horse, they would trample her to death.

Yun Shang heard a roar of Prince Jing before she came to her senses. She felt as if her heart was

burning on the fire. She gritted her teeth and held the reins. "Jing Wenxi, if mother or brother get into

trouble, I will kill your whole family."

She only regretted that she hadn't remembered such an important episode when she heard that

JingWenxi went to the Laifeng Palace.

Hearing her voice with hatred, Prince Jing was in a daze. Did something happen to Lady Jin?

Yun Shang turned around while thinking, "mother is in danger. I'll go first." Then she whipped her horse

and the horse under her galloped away like an arrow from the string.

Prince Jing frowned and thought, 'if Xia Houjing and Li Jingyan really lead their troops to stop Emperor

Ning from leaving, she will be in danger. So he shouted hastily, "come back!"

However, the woman in front of Prince Jing didn't know that at all. Her mind was full of mother and her

newborn brother. Prince Jing gnashed his teeth in anger and said, "Yun Shang, are you tired of living?

If caught by me, you will pay for this. " After saying that, he raised his voice suddenly. "What is the

secret guard waiting for? Go and chase her! If she dies, you will die! "

A gust of wind blew from his head, which made Prince Jing's heart tense. But there were soldiers

behind him, and he didn't know what would happen along the way, so he had to go with the army.

Yun Shang rode all the way, and the horse under her was worn out. She gritted her teeth and thought

to herself, 'I'll learn Qinggong (*TN: A Chinese martial arts technique that supposedly helps one lift and

travel in the air.) some day.

Since Emperor Ning had made his decision to go back to the palace, he would surely go on the official

road. Yun Shang thought that if they set out in the morning, they would probably go less than a fifth of

the way. With a carriage, they moved slowly, hoping they could make it.

After more than three hours, Yun Shang was thoroughly drenched in sweat. The noon sun was sinister,

but she didn't care much. As she saw a forest not far away, she felt a little relieved. She rode the horse

into the forest, and within a kilometer from the forest, she suddenly strangled the reins and shuddered.

The road in front of her was full of corpses and stretched out for a long time. The roads were stained

with blood. Yun Shang's heart sank. She got off the horse and turned over a corpse lying on the

ground. The body was still hot. He should have died a little while ago, and he was wearing the armor of

the soldiers, but not the armor of the soldiers of the State of Ning.

Did he work for Xia Houjing? Yun Shang had her own guesses in her mind, but she was more flustered.

After two steps, she saw some other corpses lying on the ground in ordinary cyan clothes. With a

touch, she touched a hard thing on his chest. She opened his coat, and his soft armor was exposed.

Yun Shang was surprised. No ordinary soldier could afford such soft armor. She placed her hand on his

waist and found a token with words "darkness".

Yun Shang's face suddenly turned pale.

Prince Jing had told her that there was a guard army of around twenty thousand people around His

Majesty, which only existed to protect him. Was it the secret guard of His Majesty?

The secret guards and Xia Houjing's soldiers had already been in a fierce battle. Yun Shang felt her

body soft as she looked at the corpses lying all the way in front of her. She even lost the courage to lift

her feet.

After a long time, Yun Shang swallowed and got back to her senses. She held the horse and walked

forward. Suddenly, a woman's cry came from ahead, and Yun Shang's heart was suddenly drawn. She

rushed forward, and saw several carriages at the end of the corpses on the ground. The decoration of

the carriages looked splendid, and the cries came from the carriagesHere it comes.

Yun Shang's heart jolted. She ran to the carriage where blood had been splashed. Her hands were Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

trembling. She gritted her teeth and searched the carriages one by one, only to find that none of the

well decorated carriages was there. The cries came from a cyan carriage in the distance. Yun Shang

walked to the carriage for a long time before she pulled down the curtain. A scream came from the

carriage, "ah Help Help! Please don't kill me! Please! "

Yun Shang took a closer look and saw a face of a strange woman in the carriage. Her face was full of

horror, her eyes closed, her body trembling, and she was holding a little boy about five or six years old

in her arms.

Yun Shang frowned and thought, 'maybe it's just a passer-by of the official road who was scared by the

horrifying scene.'.

Yun Shang let out a sigh. Despite her great anxiety, she said calmly, "don't worry, madam. I'm just

passing by."

With a bit of hesitation, the woman slowly opened her eyes and cried out when she saw Yun Shang.

Yun Shang frowned when she saw a pretty face stretched out from the woman's arms and stared at her

blankly. Yun Shang kept silent for a while and said, "I'm sorry. I want to ask what happened here. Have

you seen it? It's very urgent. My family will pass this place on their way home. I came to pick them up,

but I didn't see anyone on the way... "

The lady was too scared to say anything. The boy looked up at Yun Shang and blinked. "We didn't see.

When the carriage came to this place, It stopped. The coachman screamed and seemed to run away.

Then mom reached out her head and wanted to see what happened, and she saw... "

Yun Shang nodded, turned around, and mounted the horse. After a moment of silence, she said, "the

road is not very safe today. You'd better take your mother to another one." After a pause, she knew that

there must be secret guards following her, so she called one of them out and ordered him to send the

woman and her son out. Then she waved the whip and continued to walk forward.

There are more than a thousand people in the forest. Yun Shang noticed that there seemed to be few

dark guards in the forest, and father didn't seem to be at a disadvantage. She checked the carriages

ahead clearly and saw the logo of royal household on them. She didn't know whether they were empty

or were ambushed on the road, so she had to leave the carriage without seeing mother and father. She

should have felt relieved. Now it was the best news that she didn't see the dead body. Thinking that

there was an ill intentioned woman by her side, she became even more anxious. Where were my

mother and others?

Yun Shang kept silent for a long time. She bit her teeth and called all the shadow guards out. "I know

Prince Jing sent you here to protect me, but I'm fine now. I'm worried about father and mother, so you

use Qinggong to go there first to check if they are nearby."
