"Big brother!" Xie Xun pushed past Feiying, Cui Lansong, and Xu Zhou, staggering to kneel beside Xie Zhang. His longsword fell to the ground, his face streaked with tears. It was a despair he'd never known before. "Don't... big brother..."
He was the most skilled general in Yanyang at archery and horseback combat, yet he died pierced by countless arrows.
He dared not touch Xie Zhang. His body was riddled with arrows, and there was no chance of saving him. His brother had drawn enemy fire, only to be betrayed by the Crown Prince at Three Cross Street.
The Crown Prince narrowed his eyes, glancing towards Chen Mo and Lin Cheng. He said coldly, "Bring Feng Shu back!"
"Yes!" Chen Mo and Lin Cheng received the order and descended the stairs, leaving the Shadow Guards to protect the Crown Prince from the high tower.
