Chapter 683: Trap (2)

Soon, an orange-red light shot into the sky and suddenly exploded in the sky with a bang, as if another sun had appeared in the blue sky.

Almost everyone in the capital could see the signal flare in the sky. However, those ordinary citizens thought that it was some kind of firework, and those officials knew at a glance that it was a signal flare. They associated it with the funeral bell and the teams of royal guards surrounding the various prefectures. An uneasy feeling rose in everyone's hearts.

At this moment, Chu You, who were at the foot of Tianxi Mountain, also saw this signal flare that looked like a rising sun from afar.

He subconsciously tightened the reins, and the black horse under him raised its front hooves excitedly.

"Your Highness, it's a signal flare!"

His servant pointed in the direction of the capital in the east and shouted excitedly, his voice trembling from excitement.
