Chapter 153
Before I parted ways with Anhui, I saw the thunderbolts that rained down on the bandits of the Green Forest split apart. I swung my black cloth mercilessly at the axes of the bandits in front of me.
Their blood, dissolving into handfuls of gore, dripped down their bodies and stained their robes.
“Heh, heh, heh, Grand Duke.”
As An Hui and Kangxi parted ways, Fang Xiang spoke up, her entire body covered in blood. Since we were in such a tight spot, unable to even look at each other’s bodies, I didn’t worry about it, but answered first.
“Speak.”
“……Are you sure we’re hostages?”
“What do you mean?”
“What good is it if the road to Jiangxi has already been leaked by a traitor?”
“……You’re asking because of the princess’s safety.”
“Nothing else, at this point.”
Exactly. In this situation, the princess’s safety is the most pressing concern.
The purpose of the Reverse Heavenly Assembly, to take the princess hostage, has been exposed, but they don’t seem to care. Their determination to focus on Gangseo, not Mugangok, was evident.
So I was worried. They went to Gangseo.
“Once again, there are only a few people we can trust now. Fang Sojourner…….”
“……Alright, I’ll pass it on as soon as I get to Anhui, please take care of yourself.”
I was worried about Fang Xiang’s seven vials of blood, but there was nothing I could do about it in this moment of time.
I grabbed the sword the bandits had left behind and handed Fang Xiang the black cloth at my waist.
