Hearing Jia Yugong shouting loudly made most of the winged cavalry furious. The empress quietly raised her bow to shoot an arrow which did not have a bottle of sarin gas attached to it. In the blink of an eye, it reached the front of Jia Yugong's face.
Jia Yugong's long-handled broadsword was seen being hurled in front of him and a loud sound ensued. He lost his balance and retreated seven or eight steps before managing to stabilize himself again.
Looking at the surface of his broadsword, he saw an indentation. The arrow was also shattered.
He was shocked at the force delivered by just one arrow. However, it also made him realized that the empress had ran out of ideas, and he immediately regained his composure.
"All soldiers, prepare!" At Jia Yugong's order, the foremost soldiers mounted the arrows lightly on their bowstrings, with the bows slightly tilting downwards.
As for the Zhu Mu Elders, they hid in the vicinity and waited to ambush Qi Zixiao.
