Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 358 - 356 Sun Heng Escapes

In the midst of this noisy chaos, one person took the opportunity to escape.

That person was none other than Sun Heng.

At this moment, Sun Heng, accompanied by two guards, followed a path he had previously marked and ran.

Throughout his escape, he sprinted while continuously looking back.

Fearing that someone might spot him.

If spotted, he would be captured and brought back, a scenario currently very unfavorable for him.

Previously, he could claim to be an Envoy, and the Emperor of You Country dared not treat him harshly.

But now, both sides have engaged in a duel to the death.

Taking advantage of this situation, the enemy could easily eliminate him without bearing any blame—this was why he chose to flee quickly.

However, along the way, no matter how often he looked back, no pursuers were in sight.

This greatly relieved him, especially after running ten miles and seeing the empty woods around him, which calmed his mind somewhat.

It was tough for this Scholar who had no force of arms.

Although he lived on the grassland, his identity was somewhat special.

Thus, he did not wield weapons like the other men, which is why his physical condition was not exceptional.

Running such a distance in one breath to save his life was indeed exhausting for him.

As for why he didn’t flee on horseback, well, joking aside, escaping on a horse would hardly be feasible.

"Sir, the enemy should not be able to catch up with us now. Should we find some horses and quickly return to our grassland to report the situation?" one of his companions suggested.

His two companions were in better physical condition than Sun Heng, despite the long run.

After surveying the surroundings and seeing no enemies, they respectfully spoke to Sun Heng.

"Do not be negligent. These Han people are very cunning. They might have realized I am missing and could already be sending people after us.

Let us keep running along this path a bit longer. Remember, do not step onto the main roads, or we will be discovered."

The two men, obviously lacking Sun Heng’s sharpness, nodded in agreement after hearing his words and helped Sun Heng to continue along the path.

What they didn’t notice was that after they left, a figure swiftly slid down from a large tree, wearing a camouflage uniform.

Only one type of person in this ancient society wore camouflage—soldiers of the Nanshan Guards.

Indeed, this route was already filled with spies of the Nanshan Guards, which was part of Lin Yi’s plan.

This was merely a minor incident; meanwhile, at the battlefield where bodies lay scattered all over,

It’s safe to say that apart from the living, everyone present was incredibly exhilarated, with some raising their hands and cheering loudly.

For many years, much pent-up frustration had been released today.

Since the old Emperor’s demise, the new Emperor had been heavily restrained.

His foreign policy was utterly weak; nearly being bullied by others.

These barbarians frequently violated the borders to plunder and kill.

You Country was deeply afflicted by this pain.

But there was no choice, as the young Emperor could hardly mobilize enough resources to counter.

Even maintaining his throne was already challenging.

But today, in one stroke, the 1000 invaders were all laid down—how could this not excite them?

The officials who had been on the fence now made up their minds.

They must stand with the young Emperor!

And through today’s trial, they also realized something—that Lin Yi was a formidable figure. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

With Lin Yi around, the Emperor’s position was securely maintained.

Even now, belonging to the same faction, they still did not know exactly what had happened.

They did not know what the Nanshan Guards held in their hands,

Which could emit such powerful force that even the fierce barbarians were knocked down instantly,

Facing an enemy double their number, what would happen if they faced their soldiers, or those from the Imperial Camp?

Without a doubt, these Nanshan Guards could fight three, perhaps even four or five soldiers from the Imperial Camp.

Although the Nanshan Guards did not number many, only over three thousand, their current momentum indicated that these 3000 could withstand twenty thousand.

Moreover, with the troops that the young Emperor controlled, he had become one of the three most powerful figures in terms of military authority within You Country.

"This is impossible! Absolutely impossible! Why would they have such power?

What should be done?

This time, the Prince had negotiated terms with the barbarians, but now they have all been slaughtered; what to do?

If the Emperor finds out about this, what should the Prince do?

Could it truly be time for the Prince to rebel?

But even though the Imperial Camp has been under the Prince’s control for years, if he really rebels, how many would follow him?"

In the crowd, the Sixth Prince watched everything unfolding before him, his mind utterly shaken, and he murmured to himself continuously.

This was the reaction from You Country’s side, while looking at the remaining hundred or so barbarians, who already felt their courage shattered.

They dared not ride their horses anymore, fearing that the horses might take them straight towards the sharp spears.

As such, they clumsily dismounted and stood on the ground, trembling severely.

Looking around at the menacing soldiers of You Country, they resembled lambs fallen amongst wolves.

They had the spirit to resist, but not the strength.

Especially when their eyes fell on those soldiers in strange attire approaching them, and more so when they saw the iron rods in their hands, they were even more terrified.

As the saying goes, the unknown is the most frightening.

Just like at this moment, facing those iron rods that were previously disregarded, every one of them was extremely fearful.

Fearing that those objects would again emit flames and take their lives on the spot.
