Strongest Eccentric Consort - Chapter 224

Chapter 224: Lady Mo’s Feet Sank

All the Qingyun City residents felt dizzy.

“Oh my God! Am I having auditory hallucinations?”

“These people actually said that they were all here to help Lou Qianxue save those two?”

“I… I heard it too!”

“How is it possible? How could there be such a thing?”

“How could Lou Qianxue know so many big shots? How could so many people come to help her?”

“Yeah! Lou Qianxue is just an unremarkable figure in Qingyun City… It wasn’t until a month ago that she gained a little fame. How could it be possible for her to make connections with so many big shots in such a short period?”

“How did she do it? She isn’t even sixteen years old! What magic power does a girl under sixteen have that so many people willingly came all the way to this city for her?”

The crowd was going crazy.

Amidst their shock, An Shaoning grabbed a precious horse from a guard of the An Family, then put Lou Xiaoxiao on the horse’s back. “Wait for me here. I will help you save them.”

Lou Xiaoxiao had received heavy injuries the previous day, and she could not recover in just one day. Now that so many people had come to help her family, she could let go of the heavy burden on her shoulders. Therefore, she nodded. “Okay.”

Everyone could only see that Lou Xiaoxiao was wearing an Asian conical hat, and they couldn’t recognize her. But seeing An Shaoning treat her like this, they were curious to know more about her.

After An Shaoning finished speaking, he drew out a long sword, flew up from his horse, and dashed toward the city wall.

Others did not dare to act rashly because of Yan Gongqing’s presence.

Vaguely, all these people who had come to Qingyun City to help Lou Qianxue had acquiesced to Yan Gongqing’s leadership.

Ci!

The long sword drew across the city wall and instantly cut off one rope. One person had been freed, and just when An Shaoning was going to cut the other rope—

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Mo Family guards on the city wall suddenly started attacking.

A series of sharp arrows flew toward him without any hesitation.

“Young Master An!” Lou Xiaoxiao shrieked.

An Shaoning’s expression remained unchanged. He stepped on the city wall and hugged the rescued man in one hand, then waved his sword like rain in the other. He successfully blocked many feather arrows as he leaped back.

“Young Master!”

“Huh! Mo Family, you’re really bold. How dare you hurt my young master!” The An Family guards were enraged. They immediately stepped forward to cover An Shaoning.

After a moment, the two armies met, and An Shaoning escaped in an instant. An Shaoning had succeeded in rescuing one person without taking any damage.

Seeing this, the An Family guards retreated one after another. Under the gates of Qingyun City, they confronted the Mo Family guards, who were holding crossbow arrows.

At that moment.

Lady Mo had arrived on the city gate tower after rushing. She had been the one who had given the order to release the arrows.

As soon as she climbed the tower, she saw the densely packed heads below. Her feet suddenly went soft. She tried to stay calm, but her face became awkward. “Why are there so many people?”

Her subordinates had not answered when she asked yet again. “Who is that?” She pointed at An Shaoning, who had just rescued one of her hostages.

The guards on the city wall were also shocked by the waves of people coming to help the Lou Family. At this time, the faces of all of them were pale. “T-that’s the young master of one of the four big families in Liuyun Prefecture. Young Master An Shaoning from the An Family.”

“What?” An ugly expression appeared on Lady Mo’s face. “Didn’t the Li and Bai families of the four big families come here? Why is the An Family here too?”

“Lady.” The guards around her were so sad that it seemed their parents had passed on. “All of the four big families in Liuyun Prefecture are here, and not only them…”

The guard then explained the forces and the identities of each person under the city wall to Lady Mo. As Lady Mo listened to it, beads of sweat rolled down her face and her face became increasingly pale. In the end, even her sturdy body couldn’t help but tremble.
