As the battering ram slammed against the city gate again and again, the people inside the city were terrified.
Song Lianhe had just been led down from the top of the city wall when a tall figure loomed over her. Then, a huge hand slapped the two guards watching her—CRACK, CRACK! The blows sent their heads spinning as they collapsed.
"Granny! Jintang is here to save you!"
E Jintang grinned, revealing a set of straight teeth in a simple, honest smile.
"Let's go! Hurry!"
Song Lianhe urgently grabbed his arm and started running.
E Jintang asked, confused, "Granny, why are we running? Isn't that King Qing breaking in?"
Remembering the arrow that had been aimed at her, Song Lianhe closed her eyes, her body trembling instinctively.
"Even if it is him... we still have to run for our lives."
'At the very least, I have to protect myself first.'
Even though she knew he had made the right decision, the seed of fear from that moment had already been planted.
