Chapter 964: Double Take
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
By the time the Imperial Censor staggered downstairs to protect Empress Dowager Yunzi, Jiang Yue had already gone up to the roof.
Some of Shao Zhongxi’s men had been shot down from the roof, so more men had gone up and tried their best to drag Prince Yings two archers to the ground.
The two archers were arranged on the rooftops on both sides. Based on the angle and location, it could be shown that their archery was very accurate.
She had already observed that the two people on the roof were the ones who posed the greatest threat to Empress Dowager Yunzi.
Not only were they much more skilled and accurate, but they also seemed to be the people in charge as they commanded those on the ground to seamlessly work together. The masked men below would occasionally watch the two people on the roof for leads.
With that, she decided to go up to the roof.
She was only a little girl, and it was so chaotic at night that the people had limited vision. Even if she made some noise, no one would see her coming. Naturally, no one would see her nimbly and quickly climb up to the roof and approach the archers.
The masked man was waving his saber and fighting fiercely with Shao Zhongxi’s men.
Shao Zhongxi’s men were pestering him so much that he had been unable to free up his hands to aim his bow and arrow at Empress Dowager Yunzi.
“Oh…” Suddenly, another of Shao Zhongxi’s men was hit back, but thankfully, he did not roll off the roof. He rolled right in front of Jiang Yue’s feet and vomited a large mouthful of blood.
Seeing a pair of small feet in front of him, the person who vomited blood was stunned as to why a child was on the roof. Then, his gaze slowly moved up. When he saw that it was a female child, he was even more stunned.
When Jiang Yue saw this person’s confused look, she knew that this person did not know her.
As for Shao Zhongxi’s subordinates, to be honest, she had not met many of them. It was no wonder that she was unrecognizable.
However, she still reached out a small hand to bring the man up.
Although the person was confused and dazed, when he saw a small hand reaching out in front of him, he somehow understood what the girl meant and obediently gave the little girl his sword. He passed out the moment he passed the sword to her.
As soon as Jiang Yue took the sword, she walked towards the masked man expressionlessly.
The masked man was only concerned with dealing with the people who were obstructing his main target. He did not notice that a small child was quietly and sneakily coming from behind him.
Jiang Yue walked behind the masked man and stabbed him.
The person laying on the ground was fighting to stay conscious to watch what Jiang Yue was going to do next. When he saw this scene, he was immediately dumbfounded. Did a child just brutally murder a person?!
The masked man was shocked.
He clearly didn’t feel that there was someone behind him, so he focused on dealing with the front.
How did he get stabbed?
The masked man immediately turned his head to look behind him, and the look on his face turned somewhat frightening.
However, before he could see what was behind him, the few people in front of him had already taken this opportunity to stab him with their swords.
“Oh…” The masked man’s eyes widened.
Jiang Yue saw a few sword tips sticking out from the back of the masked man. Blood started to come out of the masked man’s mouth and body. She did not want to be stained with blood, so she let go of her sword and took two small steps back.
Shao Zhongxi’s men drew their swords at the same time.
The masked man, who had already stopped breathing, had no more support and fell straight down. His eyes were still wide open, as if he did not know how he had died.
It was only when the masked man fell that Shao Zhongxi’s men in front of him saw a little girl behind the masked man.. The tip of the little girl’s sword was also painted red…
