章節 96: Imperial city underseige

He had hurt Ji Yao and was so scared he would do it again. It was because of this he decided to stay as far away as possible while protecting him from the background.

But what he didn't realise was that Ji Yao didn't take kindly to his decision. Rui Fei pursed his lips and decided not to say anything.

While Rui Fei was ridden in guilt the party reached the gates of the imperial palace. The emperor seemed to have assigned the big guns to this station.

The imperial guards were heavily armed as though preparing for war. The guards were in line formation with their spears pointing in their direction and shields protecting them.

It seemed this time the emperor didn't cheapen out. The latrion on their spearheads was of good quality but the problem was how they were going to get close enough to strike them. Atop the tall wall was a line of archers with their bowstrings stretched ready to fire at any moment.
