Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1172: Only capture the bandits, do not hurt the civilians!
The loud noise was like a heavy hammer, shattering all the restlessness and chaos. For a moment, no one among the hundreds of people on and off the altar could speak.

Everyone was stunned.

At the same time, after being terrified, Liang Shide seemed to immediately understand something from the loud noise, and then he burst into laughter wildly.

“Haha. Haha. Haha. Hahahaha…”

This rampant laughter seemed particularly frightening in such a quiet environment.

Guan Chiying seemed to be a little bit unconvinced of what he heard. He hoped that the loud noise just now was just an illusion, so he trembled and said, "You, what are you laughing at!?"

Liang Shide looked back at them and laughed crazily, "Did you hear that? It exploded!"

Without waiting for anyone to refute him, he continued with a big laugh: "Even if you stop me, what does it matter? Even if you save the Shangdong Gate, Jianchun Gate, and Tong Gate... what does it matter?"

No one spoke, and even Pei Xingyuan's face showed an expression of anger and despair.

He's right.

Although Jiang Wei's men stopped Liang Shide from using gunpowder in the city to blow up Shangdong Gate, Jianchun Gate and other places, Hui'an Gate was different. It was one of the gates closest to Ziwei Palace in the outer city of Luoyang. Once Hui'an Gate was blown up, Ziwei Palace would definitely be affected. If the people he arranged in Ziwei Palace also detonated the gunpowder, then the documents, treasures... and even the people's hearts left in Luoyang City would be destroyed!
If this is true, Liang Shide cannot escape blame even if he is cut into pieces.

"you--"

Guan Ao gritted his teeth, took a step forward and glared at Liang Shide, but he was not a martial artist after all, and he could not do anything more brutal. Even though his fists were clenched in his sleeves, he could only watch Liang Shide reveal an even more smug expression.

Although Liang Shide was smiling the whole time, that smile looked hideous and twisted, as if hope and despair had turned into two wild beasts, tearing at his soul at the same time; and as he was torn like this, the strength in his body seemed to slowly drain away as the blood flowed from his scarred neck. He staggered two steps, turned his head to look at Pei Xingyuan and Liang Youying, who were pale and depressed, and sneered maliciously: "So what if you catch me? So what if you kill me? Luoyang City is destined to be buried with me!"

As if in response to his last arrogant and desperate words, a loud rumbling sound rang in everyone's ears again, but this time, the sound came from the opposite direction and was closer, so close... even the ground beneath their feet began to tremble noticeably.

Along with the thunderous sound, a firm and high-spirited voice also sounded at the same time -

"You're dreaming!"

This voice, this familiar voice, shocked everyone even more than the loud noise just now.

Pei Xingyuan, in particular, almost jumped up the moment he heard the voice. He turned around in a hurry and saw the sun rising in the east and the gurgling Luo River. In the dazzling sunlight and sparkling waves, a shadow like a black cloud was rushing over, covering the sky.

A closer look revealed that there were thousands of heavily armored cavalrymen! Each of these cavalrymen was of sturdy build, and their war horses were tall and strong, all wearing heavy armor. When they came together in a rapid march, their hooves were so heavy that they almost overturned the entire earth. The murderous aura condensed in the sun, shocking the people around the altar so much that they held their breath and heartbeats, and retreated in fear. Even the few people on the altar stared at this scene with wide eyes, losing the ability to react.

Although there were thousands of heavily armored cavalrymen, everyone's attention was focused on the only person among them who was not wearing armor.

She took the lead, and although she was wearing plain clothes, her eyes were sharp and her aura was as powerful as a rainbow, as if the thousands of soldiers behind her were just her foil. When Pei Xingyuan saw her face clearly, he immediately jumped up on the altar with joy.

"Hey! Hey! I'm here!"

He jumped and waved his arms vigorously, then watched with joy as the group of people got closer and closer.

Although he was jubilant, others were obviously terrified, especially the officials and common people under the altar. Although the gates of Luoyang were closed these days and they could not go out at all, they also knew about the war outside. Previously, the army of Luoyang defeated the King of Qi sent by the Dasheng Dynasty and forced them back to Cijian. But later, the King of Qin Yuwen Ye sent by the Dasheng Dynasty led a large army to the east and swept across the eight passes of Luoyang, invincible. It was also under his prestige after hundreds of battles that the useless King of Qi Yuwen Cheng stood up again and led his army to besiege Luoyang City again, which caused the predicament in their city.

Now, with this large group of people coming over, and looking at Pei Xingyuan's posture, could they be Yuwen Ye's people?

If such heavily armored cavalry were to come charging at us, I’m afraid no one here today would survive!
When they thought of this, the people below immediately became chaotic. They even ignored the fact that the two sides were originally in confrontation and their "King Xia" Liang Shide was still being held hostage on the altar. They all retreated in fear.

"Quick, run away!"

"They're going to kill someone!"

Seeing them about to run towards the city gate, the man riding his horse in the front raised his hand and said, "Stop them!"

At this command, two teams of cavalry immediately rushed out from the flanks, like a pair of wings suddenly spread out behind her. While shocking the panicked people, they bypassed the altar and galloped towards Luoyang City, intercepting those who wanted to escape back to the city.

Those soldiers were shocked and frightened, and raised their swords to resist. However, faster than them, the heavily armored cavalrymen drew their swords at their waists in unison. They saw flashes of cold light, the chill emanating from countless blades, and the strong smell of blood, which frightened them so much that they stood still, not daring to move.

Even the people who wanted to follow them did not dare to move.

Immediately afterwards, the team of more than a thousand people rushed over and joined the team in front, surrounding the entire altar.

In an instant, the heavy horses' hooves kicked up a cloud of dust that enveloped the entire altar. Everyone was blinded by the dust. Just when everyone was stunned and at a loss, a horseman and a horseman passed through the dust and galloped directly to the bottom of the altar.

"Just capture the bandits, don't hurt the people!"

A loud shout resounded throughout the area, and she raised her right hand high while holding the reins with her left hand. The horse under her neighed and stood up, and she soared high into the air. For a moment, all the sunlight and even all eyes were focused on her. She had a slender figure, but was agile and strong. She commanded the heroes and enforced their orders, just like a god descending to earth.
