Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 340: Heaven will bring disaster

After about an hour, the sun rose completely into the sky. The gold-pink red carpet on the floor of the palace, under the sunlight, turned into a magical road paved with golden bricks, extending all the way to the main gate of the palace.

Just as Shui Furong said, although they set out very early, when they officially passed through the imperial city, it was probably at noon when the city was most crowded and bustling.

When passing through the main gate of the palace, in the midst of the bustle and joy, Ji Anni seemed to have returned to the time when she first followed Yun Zhen into the palace.

At that time, she saw Shui Furong for the first time when she entered the palace in a sedan chair outside the palace. Perhaps it was fate, and now she and Shui Furong were leaving the palace together again.

After leaving the palace gate, there were dense forests on both sides, and two rows of armored guards stood neatly beside the forest. Although the team was only deployed in one day, looking at their well-dressed and majestic appearance without any flaws, I couldn't help but admire their superiors.

I don't know whether these soldiers were arranged by Liuguang or An Youchen. If it was Liuguang, Ji Anni would really look at him with new eyes.

After walking out of the palace gate, there was a long ramp. Ji Anni subconsciously turned back to look in the direction of the palace gate, and saw several golden canopies. The dazzling golden light was like a few more suns hanging in the sky, so bright that Ji Anni could not open her eyes. She subconsciously said "Wow..." and her mouth opened wide unconsciously.

Shui Furong beside her followed her gaze and also looked back, saying, "That's probably the carriage of the emperor, the queen mother, the princess, and the prince consort."

They are the protagonists of today's wedding and of course they are sitting in the most gorgeous vehicle.

"If something unexpected really happens, wouldn't it be telling the enemy clearly that the important person is here..." Ji Annie muttered to herself subconsciously.

"Don't say such unlucky words. Who would dare to sabotage the princess' wedding?" Shui Furong has always been optimistic and open-minded. Seeing Ji Anni frowned, she kindly comforted her.

At this moment, Concubine Gan, who was riding in the same carriage with them, suddenly cried out "Ah". Everyone else in the carriage turned to look at her, only to see Concubine Gan staring nervously at the woods beside her.

"What's wrong?" Ji Anni subconsciously moved a little closer to Concubine Gan.

Concubine Gan said in panic, "No... No, there are strange noises coming from the woods..."

"Strange sound?" Everyone looked at each other and pricked up their ears to listen carefully, but they didn't hear any strange sound.

Concubine Gan was always gloomy, so everyone thought she was hallucinating and didn't pay much attention to it. Concubine Gan kept looking deep into the woods, as if she could see some wild animals lurking there.

Ji Anni sat very close to Concubine Gan, and she could touch the back of her hand with her hand. Although Ji Anni did not hear the strange sound that Concubine Gan mentioned, she saw Concubine Gan's panicked expression as if she was really scared, so she comforted her softly: "Concubine Gan, don't worry, it's probably the sound of the wind. There are so many guards protecting both sides of the forest, no bad guy dares to jump out."

"Yes, yes." Shui Furong also hurriedly responded.

At this moment, a sharp horse neigh suddenly came from the front of the team. After the horse neigh, the team suddenly stopped, and a faint clanging sound of metal could be heard.

At this time, the ladies in the car finally realized that something was wrong. The brave ones stretched their heads to look forward to the team, while the timid ones huddled together tightly.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Ji Anni and Shui Furong were both brave people. They stood up at the same time and leaned their upper bodies out of the car window to look.

After just a few seconds, the metallic sound in their ears suddenly became louder, and a creepy "rustling" sound came from the woods. After a short period of daze, everyone simultaneously realized that the strange sound coming from the woods was not the sound of the wind, but the footsteps of a large group of people and horses rushing out. The footsteps were mixed with loud roars, which fluttered all the birds in the woods and flew high to escape.

"Something happened." Shui Furong's expression became nervous and she subconsciously pulled Ji Anni into the car.

The guards stationed on both sides of the woods quickly divided into two teams, one team was responsible for blocking external enemies, and the other team gathered towards the vehicle as quickly as possible and guarded closely outside the vehicle.

"Brother guard, what happened?" Although Ji Anni's body was pulled into the carriage by Shui Furong, her heart was still outside the car. She couldn't help but ask the guard who was standing near the window.

The guard raised his weapon and looked around vigilantly, and replied hastily, "My lady, it seems that there are rebels lying in ambush. You must not get off the carriage."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang and an earth-shaking explosion came from not far behind him.

As the explosion sounded, Ji Anni's eardrums seemed to be shattered, and a sharp pain came from the roots of her ears to the depths of her brain. Her vision suddenly went dark, and her body was pushed forward by the huge waves caused by the explosion. Fortunately, she was still some distance away from the explosion site, and the power of explosives in this era was not as strong as in modern society, so she only felt a shaking of the ground, and there was no other feeling, nor did she suffer any skin injuries.

"Xiao Zhao." Shui Furong nervously grabbed Ji Anni's arm. The explosion just now made his ears buzzing, as if he was a dream.

This terrible explosion was just the beginning. Immediately afterwards, several loud "boom" noises were heard in succession. Along with the loud noises, there were also the screams of the ladies in the carriage. Those screams resounded through the sky and almost drowned out the sound of the explosion.

Ji Anni and Shui Furong stood in the swaying carriage and subconsciously grabbed each other's arms as support.

"It's a landmine! A landmine!" The crowd panicked. Some timid guards forgot to fight the enemy and fled everywhere. The defenses around the carriage were suddenly vacant.

The deafening explosion frightened the horses pulling the cart, and the horses neighed loudly. Neighing, screaming and fighting sounds could be heard everywhere. The magnificent and chaotic scene was no less than any war movie that Ji Anni had seen.

Ji Anni, who was present at the scene, had a blank mind. For a brief moment, she couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes.

The team was clearly still playing joyful music just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye it turned into a horrible scene with dust everywhere and people and horses falling to the ground.

Who or what organization has the ability to set up an ambush and bury explosives near the palace?

It seems that in any era and any place, there are terrorist organizations running rampant. However, Ji Anni, who has been imprisoned in the palace, is completely unaware of the magnificent activities of the anti-imperialist organizations outside the palace.

Before Ji Anni could come to her senses in surprise, she heard a terrible explosion very close to her. The sound was so loud that it seemed like an explosion under her feet. Without giving her any time to think, her body flew into the air with the huge explosion.

The carriage was lifted up, and all the ladies in the carriage rolled in the tilted direction without exception.

Ji Annie was pressed down by the ball of human flesh and couldn't move. It felt like her internal organs were about to be squeezed out and her body was about to turn into a meat patty.

The explosion occurred diagonally opposite the carriage, breaking it into several pieces of tangled boards.

The horses, startled by the explosion, neighed and ran away, dragging the broken boards as they ran through the crowd.

Ji Anni's body suddenly moved after she fell to the ground. When she reacted, she had been dragged more than ten steps away by the frightened horse. It turned out that her right foot was stuck between the carriage and the shaft. After the horse was frightened and ran away, it dragged her forward and slid for a long distance. If it weren't for the hard wooden board behind her, I'm afraid Ji Anni would have died long ago.

"Xiao Zhao! Xiao Zhao!" Shui Furong shouted anxiously, watching Ji Anni being dragged away by the horse. He wanted to catch up, but he was pressed down by the human meat ball and couldn't get out at all.

There were several scratches on Ji Annie's shoulders, and her right ankle was so painful from being stuck on the shaft that it felt like it was about to break. Even she, who was always strong, could hardly hold back her tears.

The crazy horse was still running forward. If Ji Annie couldn't escape in time, she would be dragged to death by it.

At this moment, there was another loud "bang" and the wooden board behind Ji Anni was blown up again.

Riding on this storm, Ji Anni's body also floated into the air.

In her panic, she accidentally grabbed the reins.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Even she herself didn't know what happened in that instant. She only knew that when she came to her senses again, she had already climbed onto the horse's back.

She hugged the horse's neck tightly, holding the life-saving reins firmly in her hand, and her body was shaken by the galloping horse, as if she might be thrown off its back at any time.

The screams and explosions in her ears became sharper and more rapid. Ji Annie pulled the reins tightly, trying to force the galloping horse to stop, but the horse was no longer under the control of the reins. Even if Ji Annie broke the reins, she could not stop the horse that was frightened and mentally disturbed by the explosion.

The broken board dragged behind the horse's buttocks hit the ground several times, and then broke into pieces, flying everywhere. If Ji Anni hadn't climbed onto the horse's back in time, she would have been torn into pieces along with the broken pieces of wood. Ji Anni looked back at the broken wood on the ground, feeling a little scared. A layer of cold sweat oozed out of her back, and her face turned as white as wax paper.

Crazy horse carried her into the depths of the woods. Ji Anni didn't know what would appear ahead, nor did she know when she could stop.

She was getting farther and farther away from the center of the chaos, and she looked back nervously at the fierce fighting between the imperial guards and the rebels.

She saw dust flying all over the sky, and in the dust, she saw several huge canopies torn into pieces.

That is the carriage of the emperor, princess, prince consort, and queen mother...
