How could it turn out like this?

Even if it was a variable, how could it turn out like this?

At this moment, Shang Ruyi didn’t even have time to grieve; the excessive shock left her unable to react. It was only until the thunderous angry shouts erupted around her, sounding like thunder, and more chaotic figures began to turn their horses around to rush backwards, did the tense atmosphere finally pluck her frozen heartstrings slightly.

She instinctively wanted to dismount, but the surrounding galloping horses didn’t allow her to move.

She could only slowly turn her stiff neck amidst the flowing crowd and ear-splitting roars, and only then did she see that people around her finally understood what had happened. Several soldiers immediately stepped forward to help up the arrow-struck Shali Khan and Prince Yiasu, but such heart-penetrating arrows left no chance for survival.

Shang Ruyi’s eyes were bloodshot, watching Yiasu’s pale, handsome face, now lifeless.

He was just inside the Yatai talking with Lei Yu, assuring her he would protect her, but those bright, lively eyes would never open again.

"Avenge the Khan!"

"Someone’s rebelling, Ashina Zhuxie’s rebellion!"

"Kill them!"

Just as Shang Ruyi’s heart finally stirred and began to fill with sorrow, more angry shouts once again filled her world. She turned back once more, only to see the team of Heavy Cavalry had returned completely behind him, lined up neatly, and all swiftly drew their arrows and readied their bows!

And Ashina Zhuxie’s pair of sinister, cold eyes coldly watched everything around.

Earlier, when he shot the first arrow, those who followed him were the archers who had long been mentally strained by the imminent battle, but when he shot the second arrow and Shali Khan was struck, those archers had realized. Their extreme shock prevented them from moving, and the arrows that followed the second shot were all from this batch of Heavy Cavalry.

Only two arrows.

Only two arrows and he killed the Western Turkic Khan and the Khan’s most beloved Prince Yiasu, utterly eliminating his political enemies.

No wonder he agreed to hand over the Heavy Cavalry for only one arrow.

It was all for today, this moment!

This was Prince Zhu Xie’s most powerful, decisive counterattack in a dire situation!

But— 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Shang Ruyi trembled, turning back once again to look at Prince Yiasu lying on the ground, already in a pool of blood, long dead. She never dreamt Yiasu would die before her eyes.

How much pain is Lei Yu in?

She’s carrying Yiasu’s child, even hoping to tell him the good news once the situation stabilized.

Now, what to do?

Just as Shang Ruyi’s mind was in chaos, a small group of soldiers had already reacted. Seeing several Generals immediately roaring wildly, leading their troops to charge at Ashina Zhuxie, that towering figure stood unwavering under the protection of Heavy Cavalry.

Ashina Zhuxie suddenly raised his hand, holding the arrow high.

Upon seeing this, some soldiers stopped in shock.

That after all belonged to the Khan!

Moreover, in the initial moments of shock and rage, and driven by the subconscious influence of several Generals, some gradually came to their senses. Were they truly going to kill Ashina Zhuxie?

He was the only remaining—

Just when this thought emerged, Ashina Zhuxie suddenly shouted, "The Khan is dead, Yiasu is dead, I am the only heir of the Western Turks!"

"Killing me is to extinguish the future of the Western Turks!"

"Today, all who surrender to me are great heroes of the Western Turks, and I will definitely reward you; but anyone who tries to oppose me is an enemy of the Western Turks, is rebelling!"

Upon hearing these words, more people halted their horses!

Indeed, though many were dissatisfied with Ashina Zhuxie, considering the orphan of the Zhuxie Tribe couldn’t inherit the Khan position, now that Shali Khan was dead and even the designated successor Prince Yiasu was dead, the entire Western Turks were left with only this one heir.

What frightened everyone more—

Just now, they did not know how many among them had followed Ashina Zhuxie’s first arrow and hit Shali Khan!

If Ashina Zhuxie was to be declared a traitor, then the arrows they just followed and shot, wouldn’t they also be judged guilty, and by then, wouldn’t they all be doomed?
