The guards outside the Court Hall failed to stop the soldier from bursting in. They stood, ready to take him away. "Your Royal Highness—!"
Wu Jiangfeng raised a hand and waved them off. This soldier was in an ugly state and the panic in his eyes startled the Crown Prince. Whatever this young man saw must have spooked him to death. The guards bowed and left the wounded soldier alone.
Once the door shut, Wu Jiangfeng spoke. "Calm down, soldier. You can speak whenever," He gave the poor guy permission.
The worn out soldier took a huge gulp of air. His body exuded smells of burning smoke and the end of his hair was burnt. His robes were torn in some places where you could see his skin tissue had been damaged by a burst of fire. Not only did he smelt like smoke, but also the stench of rotten bodies.
