Chapter 267: The Death of Kai Kingdom Emperor
267 The Death of Kai Kingdom Emperor
While Soujin was visiting the Tian family, Lin Hong got the permission to leave from the emperor. He took off quickly and didn't bother looking back anymore.
The emperor sat on his throne calmly, thinking that everything was going to be alright. In the next moment, the peace was shattered with the ruckus from outside. The door to the hall opened and Prince Yang appeared with countless guards following after him. They didn't know how this prince got out, but he seemed to be really terrified.
"Imperial Father, the arrow came again!"
No matter how many times they meet, this prince always talked about the arrow that suddenly appeared. The emperor felt his patience going thin with the fourth prince who kept on talking about an arrow every time he went. Not to mention that he purposely locked the other party in a heavily guarded residence, how could he get out from there?
"Take him to his residence. Don't let him get away as you please."
"But Imperial Father," Prince Yang protested.
At that moment, an arrow suddenly passed by the prince's head and headed towards the emperor. Without anyone in the way of the arrow, it hit the emperor in one go. That one arrow immediately took his life away.
The officials were all stunned, they cannot react in time when the arrow suddenly appeared and killed their emperor. With body shaking, they turned toward the fourth prince.
"The fourth prince killed Your Highness."
Anyone with eyes would know that the one who did it was not Prince Yang, but the one who has been saying an arrow was Prince Yang. It felt like Prince Yang had been arranging for his father assassination and the arrow that suddenly appear just complete his story even more.
"I'm not…"
"Find the one who shoots the arrow!"
The whole palace was in mess because of that assassination. The size of the palace was extremely huge and to kill the emperor from that far of a distance, just how much skill the other party had?
Nevertheless, the other party should be still in the area of the palace. To shoot the arrow from outside the palace was something that was impossible. Without waiting for the order, they started to search the whole palace.
Another arrow suddenly shot towards Prince Yang, killing the other party real quick. Even though he was surrounded by the guard, the arrow can pass through the gap beside them without any problem.
Fear crept out on these officials as they quickly close the door. That way, they won't be targeted by the archer anymore. To shoot two important figures so easily, who can possibly do that?
"Your task is over, Fourth Prince. I don't need you to keep on chasing after the Jun Family anymore."
On top of one of the buildings, Jun Hua stood calmly with a bow on her hand. She was the one who shoots the arrow towards these two important figures. She was dressed in all black and there was a cloth covering her face.
The only reason she kept Prince Yang alive was to make him make a ruckus in the palace. This was the best way to lower the defense of the guards and let her came inside. After all, she didn't want to spend a long time to study this place, so using this person was the best option she could think of.
Looking towards the commotion, she turned back to go from the place. Using the roof of the building to travel, she quickly left the palace.
The guards who chase after her couldn't compare to her speed, and they quickly fell behind her. The guards were silently cursed their bad luck for encountering such a fast assassin.
She was about to hide when she passed by the residence near the palace. Her eyes look towards the building on her side as could see the festive decoration in the areas. Her brow creased slightly as she lowered her pace slightly.
From afar, she could see a finely decorated room. Her eyes stared towards the window, where she saw two people, a man and woman.
"Soujin…" so he did come to meet with Tian Ni.
Jun Hua pushed her raging feeling down forcefully. Moving her feet to go away, she quickly turned from the place, not wanting to see it anymore. The moment she walked away, she could faintly hear the woman yelling to Soujin and a loud commotion. However, she didn't stop and continue to run away from the place.
Soujin took out his sword and sheath it back after he uses it. He did his best to control his body as he looked towards the lady in front of him.
"What are you doing?" Tian Ni didn't expect that Soujin would just destroy the building right away. They were not hurt, but did he want people to see her looking like this? Didn't he worry about what the people might say about him?
Soujin looked towards Tian Ni. "If you want to destroy your reputation, you're free to do so. I don't have any interest in you, and I will never be."
"Why? You would even go against the decree of the emperor?"
"My life is my own. I would not let that person dictate it," Soujin answered and turned away, wasn't caring in the slightest about other people who see it.
"Only this time I would let you live. If you did it again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"SOUJIN! Come back here!" Tian Ni cried, why couldn't she get the person she loved and has him ignoring her all this time? She had been waiting for him all this time and tried to get close to him, but he just left her like this. He even said cruel sentences towards her.
They might say that he was the one taking advantage of her and should marry her, but if they did that, he would kill her. There was no way he would want to spend his life with a person he didn't love. This is the era of war. People dying was normal and no one would dare to say anything.
Of course, Soujin didn't need to do it by himself. He could just send people to do it. All this time, he was being patience because Tian Ni was his childhood friend. But, after experiencing this scheme, he no longer cared about her.
That scheme made him remembered about Jun Min and how he died because of a woman. He would not make the same mistake as him. Besides, he has someone whom he loved dearly and vowed to protect. There was no place for Tian Ni in his heart.
