He had sweat on his nose, his deep, dark eyes reflecting the warm yellow glow of the flames, making his gaze seem even colder and more solemn.
Xiao Rongyan’s eyes fell on the Rong heavy shield camp. A cavalryman on a completely black horse, donning a ghost mask with blue faces and fang-like teeth, and dressed in Rong attire, emerged.
If Xiao Rongyan remembered correctly, that was the newly emerged Ghost Mask General of Nanrong.
The Ghost Mask General was not of noble birth. During a royal hunt, the King of Nanrong was saved by the Ghost Mask General, who was then a slave. This act elevated him to the King’s personal guard and, later, to a general.
Xiao Rongyan gripped his longsword with one hand, pulling Princess Mingcheng by the arm with the other, shielding her behind him. Seeing that the Yan Army and his own Hidden Guards were at a disadvantage, Xiao Rongyan gritted his teeth and said, “Get off the carriage! Stay close to me!”
Princess Mingcheng nodded, clutching the lotus-embroidered pouch in her hand tightly as if it were the source of all her strength.
Just as Xiao Rongyan pulled Princess Mingcheng from the fire-stricken carriage, the Ghost Mask General aimed his arrow at him and shot.
