The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending

Chapter 477

Rushing out of the dark forest, the outside suddenly became bright with the silver moonlight pouring down, and under the light, three horses leisurely ate grass.

Seeing the horse but no people, Gu Xi momentarily felt something was amiss.

“Third Master, be careful.” The captain guard’s expression changed, knowing that something was wrong.

“Whoosh!”

A sharp arrow was suddenly shot from the darkness, like lightning, piercing through the thick night, and brushing against Gu Xi’s ear. The sharp aura made his hair fly up, and the arrow accurately hit the brow of the guard behind him.

An arrow pierced the skull and the bloody tip of the arrow shot out from the back of the brain.

The power of this arrow was evident.

Both Gu Xi and the captain guard knew that the person who could shoot such arrows just now was not ordinary. This arrow was not aimed at Gu Xi, but was a demonstration for him to see!

Immediately after, the torches were lit one by one in front of them, and 20 or 30 cavalry soldiers approached them calmly from about ten feet away.

Led by a young man wearing a frost-colored robe and holding a long black bow. The light from the torch outlined the young man’s handsome features, displaying his temperament as cold as the cool night breeze.

The captain guard recognized the other party and blurted out, “Yu Fuyun!”

Gu Xi’s face became even more ugly, and his heart went cold.

How could Yu Fuyun be here?!

“Whoa, whoa, whoa!”

The cold wind in the middle of the night was fiercer as it blew the branches and leaves in the forest behind, sounding like it was roaring and wailing…

The cold moonlight pours down on them, such as frost spreading all over the ground.

The next morning at the court, the royal guard head officer Yuan Minggang was on his way to the emperor to give his report about extinguishing the fire at the Jiuqi Garden. “Your Majesty, the Tai’an Palace was burned down and a charred corpse was found. Although most of the beaded crown and clothes were also burned from the remnants’ body, we were able to distinguish that it belongs to Imperial Consort Fang.”

The court was in a sudden uproar.

The courtiers looked at each other, and many whispered in pairs.

Some of the well-informed courtiers actually heard about the fire in Jiuqi Garden yesterday, but half of them had only heard about it until now, especially when Imperial Consort Fang died in this big fire.

They all remembered the incident when Empress Dowager Liu scolded Imperial Consort Fang yesterday telling her to accompany the late emperor, which made Imperial Consort Fang ashamed and angry that she had set herself on fire last night?

Some of them could not help but start to worry, Imperial Consort Fang was not an ordinary concubine of the late emperor; she was the biological mother of Wang Yu.

To put it bluntly, Imperial Consort Fang’s role in the capital was as a hostage. However, now that this hostage has gone, what would Wang Yu do?

Wouldn’t Wang Yu raise his troops in anger over the death of Imperial Consort Fang?!
