Chapter 965: Chapter 968: Who Set the Fire
Heartbroken and speechless, Su Yan cried until she was incoherent. She grabbed his hand, opened her mouth, and just as she was about to question him.
The sound of fighting was heard; a troop suddenly emerged from somewhere, commanding the citizens of the city to rise in rebellion. Chu Yuxiao’s army could hardly suppress them.
In an instant, the entire Fengdu City descended into chaos.
Chu Yuxiao picked Su Yan up, ordered his subordinates to prepare the carriage, then swiftly carried her down the city tower. Protected by guards, he placed her inside the carriage.
Throughout the entire process, Su Yan remained silent, dazed, allowing him to do as he wished.
Perhaps noticing her stupor, Chu Yuxiao held her face, saying solemnly: "You must leave first. Remember to protect yourself, understand?"
After saying this, he gave her a deep look, ready to turn away, but his wrist was suddenly grabbed by Su Yan.
Turning back joyfully, he saw Su Yan staring blankly at him, her mouth moved but the words of concern failed to come out.
Seemingly understanding her feelings, Chu Yuxiao smiled at her and softly said ’Don’t worry’, before getting off the carriage, arranging for people to escort her away, then joining the battle himself.
No matter what, he must stop this chaos!
The carriage sped along, tossing Su Yan inside until she finally became alert.
She pulled back the curtain and looked behind.
Flames soared into the sky, lighting half the heavens, the sounds of fighting were wretched and bleak, as if roars from hell, chilling to the bone.
A guard, assuming he understood Su Yan’s thoughts, approached and said to her: "Your Majesty need not worry, the Emperor will surely eliminate the remnants of Cangyue Country and return safely."
Su Yan was momentarily stunned, a trace of doubt flashed through her mind, she tried asking: "Who started the fire?"
"Naturally, the remnants of Cangyue Country. Hmph, they disregard even their own people, truly insane!"
What...
Su Yan was taken aback, unsure whether to feel relieved or burdened.
Turns out it was Cangyue Country’s own people who set the fire.
Thankfully, it wasn’t Chu Yuxiao...
But then, those trapped inside the city weren’t capable of causing such chaos. How could they have started the fire?
Even if they deliberately sparked a few places, they would surely be noticed and controlled, how could there be so much fire...
Su Yan remembered the troop she saw earlier.
They were clothed in common garments, but their bearing was akin to battle-hardened soldiers, certainly not organized by ordinary citizens themselves.
