Chapter 1540 - 1540 Held Her Around The Waist With One Hand1540 Held Her Around The Waist With One Hand
When she heard the commotion outside, Yaoyao, who was dozing off inside the horse-drawn carriage, immediately woke up.
Thank you readers!
They had been ambushed by assassins.
The realization sent chills down her spine. She was about to get up and escape when she suddenly heard strange knocking sounds on her carriage. She turned to look and saw a few arrows had pierced through the carriage. The sharp edge of the arrows glinted coldly.
She pulled herself together and picked up her cloth bundle. She was about to lift the blinds and make an escape when another arrow suddenly shot through the side of the carriage.
This time, it pierced through the side of the carriage as it flew straight toward her.
Her eyes widened. She quickly dropped to the ground and fell onto the shaft.

Yaoyao was still in shock. She was about to reply when she saw another arrow flying at him from the sky. She yelled out in a panic, “Look out!”
Beitang You did not even look at it. He swung his sword and knocked aside the flying arrow, guided only by his hearing. He stared at her obstinately. “Are you hurt?”
It looked like he would not let this subject drop until he found out if she was hurt.
Yaoyao could only reply loudly when she heard this. “I’m fine. I’m not hurt.”
Beitang You was visibly relieved when he heard this. He held her around the waist with one hand and jumped onto Snow White’s back.
“Sit still, Yaoyao,” he quickly instructed as he pulled on the reins and galloped forward.
“Hiyah!”
The assassins attacked them from the mountaintop as they fired arrows downward. The situation was unfavorable to them. If they continued staying where they were, the only thing that awaited them would be death.
If they leave, the assassins would be drawn downhill. Once that happened, they would counterattack, which would catch the assassins off guard.
Zhang Yu and Chen Jin led their men and followed behind him.
Yaoyao could not resist peeking from Beitang You’s arm when she heard the arrows whistling through the air behind them.
When she saw the rain of arrows targeted at the carriage, she realized that the assassins had thought Beitang You was still in the carriage, which was why they had focused their attack there.
The assassins hidden at the top of the mountain had figured out the situation by now and they shouted, “That damned Emperor isn’t in the carriage. Don’t let them escape. Get them!”
Yaoyao gave this some thought and said to Beitang You, “Let Uncle Zhang and the rest go in front. I have a way to handle these people.”
Beitang You had no idea what she was planning to do, but he trusted her. So, he ordered Zhang Yu and the others to go to the front.
However, Zhang Yu’s group refused.
Yaoyao had no choice but to take out a few medicine balls from her cloth bundle to pass to them. “Uncle Zhang, throw this at them.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZhang Yu took them from her. His eyes brightened immediately as he raised his hand and flung a ball out. The ball flew over everyone’s head and fell precisely in the midst of the assassins.
Bam! White smoke dispersed and the assassins at the front fell one-by-one without realizing what happened.
Their horses instantly neighed with fear as the remaining assassins were stopped and did not dare move forward.
It was the first time Chen Jin witnessed something so powerful. His eyes widened instantly as he stared at the pill-sized medicine in Yaoyao’s hands. He gulped and asked curiously, “What is that? It’s so powerful. Can I have one too, Princess?”
“Sure.” Yaoyao stuffed the medicine ball into his hand and instructed, “You can give one out to each person, but remember, the medicine ball contains coma-inducing medicine. You shouldn’t stand downwind or you’ll end up passing out too.”
Chen Jin took note of her instructions and gave out the medicine balls to the other guards.
Once the smoke dispersed completely, the remaining assassins came chasing after them. Chen Jin was the first to throw the medicine ball in his hand.
Bam! The medicine ball exploded and white smoke filled the area. This batch of assassins fell to the ground as well.
Chen Jin’s eyes widened as he watched the scene in front of him, flabbergasted.
The others were stunned as well.
Zhang Yu was not too surprised as he had seen Lu Liangwei use these before. Instead, he felt superior to his juniors who were watching the scene with their mouths agape. He explained with a smile, “This is a secret weapon created by the Empress of Great Shang which can kill without the enemy them noticing.”
