Chapter IBMLS Ch.66 Salvation (4)
Mu Mingtang tried her best to catch up with the group of people in front of her. Upon hearing Xie Xuanji’s words “shoot the arrows”, Mu Mingtang’s heart turned cold. When Xie Xuanchen wanted a drink, she would cool it down to the right temperature, then she’d only pa.s.s it to him. How could Xie Xuanji let them shoot arrows at Xie Xuanchen?
Mu Mingtang was so angry that she almost lost her sanity. She wanted to rush over to stop Xie Xuanji, but a team of guards were protecting Xie Xuanji. Mu Mingtang couldn’t get through and could only shout from the crowd: “Xie Xuanji, how dare you!”
In front of everyone, Mu Mingtang bravely called out Xie Xuanji’s name, Xie Xuanji’s brows raised, but he held his temper back down. He glanced at Mu Mingtang patiently, and coldly said to the people around him: “Is this a place where a female should be at right now? Please escort the princess away!”
Mu Mingtang was fuming with anger. At this time, some soldiers had already stepped forward and tried to escort her away. With a cold gaze, Mu Mingtang shook her sleeves vigorously: “I’m the princess, let’s see who would dare to touch me!”
The soldiers actually hesitated. Xie Xuanji was already troubled enough, and Mu Mingtang had to create more chaos. Xie Xuanji couldn’t help but say coldly, “Where are the maids, are they all dead?”
The only two dowry maids were trembling, they didn’t dare to step forward. Mu Mingtang took advantage of this hesitation and gave them a violent push, she rushed out and stopped in front of the third group of soldiers: “Who would dare shoot those arrows without my permission!”
Mu Mingtang was standing in front, and the soldiers were put in a very tough spot as they didn’t dare to shoot, they couldn’t push her away either. At this time, Mu Mingtang saw a team of people with iron claws in their hands, they quickly walked across the corridor, formed a circle, and the moment they heard the command, they would throw them at Xie Xuanchen.
The tip of the iron claw was a sharp hook, even Mu Mingtang could see the reflection coming from the hook. Mu Mingtang even wondered if some sort of medicine was applied on it.
Barbed iron hooks like these, if he struggles after it is hooked onto his body, the hooks will go deeper, it’s much more painful and difficult to heal. Mu Mingtang’s heart was filled with endless chills. It turns out that this was how they all treated Xie Xuanchen when she wasn’t with him?
Mu Mingtang broke out in anger suddenly, pushed the guards aside with all her might, and shouted loudly, “Stop!”
“He is the great hero who defeated the Jie clan, who conquered North Tang, he’s one of the heroes that contributed to the founding of the country, so why are you all treating him like this! How dare you do so!”
Mu Mingtang’s cry already turned into a sobbing tone at the end, her voice as a female sounded much more obvious in the chaotic battlefield. Many people hesitated to attack. The soldiers holding the iron hooks didn’t know what to do, so they all looked at Xie Xuanji.
Xie Xuanji pinched in between his eyebrows again, he was having a terrible headache. When he raised his head again, he tried his best to speak to Mu Mingtang in a gentle tone: “You have never seen such a violent scene before, I can understand that your emotions are out of control. But this would be good for the second brother, if you’re afraid, you can step back, just don’t trouble us even more. “
“Who said that I was afraid?” Mu Mingtang was tearing up, and her gaze was bright and ruthless. “When he defended his country and expanded the Ye Empire, where were you all? He is just sick, he’s not some criminal, why are you guys lynching him?”
When Xie Xuanchen woke up today, he knew that something felt wrong in his mind. To make matters worse, Mu Mingtang wasn’t there. He stood up and tried to look for the Jing Er elixir that would stop him from turning into a maniac, but at that time, his mental disorder was already very serious, everything he saw was painted red, and everything looked hideous and terrifying in his eyes. Xie Xuanchen stumbled and knocked over a vase, which alarmed the guards outside. After the guards broke in fiercely, their provocations became the last straw, he completely lost control.
