The Destiny of Love in Ancient Times
The Siege of Living Corpses

ALL the bodyguards that were around An Daiyu glanced at each other and finally noticed the surroundings. They sharpen the sense of hearing. The silent atmosphere made the sound of leaves rubbing against the wind also become clearer.

Indeed from within the forest, the sound of a broken branch being stepped on was faintly heard. Initially, the sounds were slow and rhythmic, now getting faster and messier.

They're all alert. Not knowing what was coming out of the forest, they prepared to pull out the sword from its sheath.

"Master, maybe some ferocious beasts have surrounded us." One of the guards guessed.

In the end, his other comrades immediately tensed up.

"Are you sure? Then why do they look like walking corpses?"

The word 'they' mentioned certainly made An Daiyu pay attention to one of the points. There, a group of shabby black-robed people emerged from within the forest. Rather than being considered walking, it seemed more like running towards them.

An Daiyu knew that these black-robed people who appeared were undead as told by Gu Yihao. They wear large hoods so that their faces do not look perfect. But for sure, his face did not please the eyes.

"Kill! Use fire to destroy them!" An Daiyu gave a strict order to his subordinates.

A group of slightly panicked bodyguards immediately pulled out torches and lit a fire. Some use swords and arrows to kill. But it seems that swords and arrows are ineffective.

In the end, they only used torches to burn them. And it worked even though the results were not completely dead. But at least it would hinder the enemy from pursuing them.

"Go quickly!" An Daiyu was very serious, holding a torch on the right side and another hand holding a horse rope.

A simple horse's summary was heard several times. Accompanied by the sound of horse legs. Unfortunately again, the road they passed this time was at least still quite far from a place full of sunlight.

"Sir, why did they show up?" One of his bodyguards was ground with curiosity.

"All around us there is no sunlight. This group of walking corpses could not appear in the sunlight. So we have to hurry, "he replied.

Some of the walking corpses did indeed reappear and attack them. Unfortunately, some of the guards were caught and killed by the walking corpse

An Daiyu could not allow his own people to sacrifice lives. He asked everyone to light torches and burn them more.

Instantly, many torches lit up, illuminating the surroundings with a warm light. The undead began to slow down. Reluctant to attack them. The heat from the flames made the undead a little afraid.

Making use of this, An Daiyu immediately ordered his guards to hurry over. The horse neighed again and drove. Not caring about those undead, the horse bumped into him like stepping on grass.

But every now and then, the bodyguards unsheathed the sword to kill the undead who dared to pounce.

When they came out of the forest path, the undead did not dare to touch the sunlight. They retreated back into the darkness as if they had never appeared.

An Daiyu saw that, sighing in his heart. It was fortunate that he had little knowledge of the undead after hearing Gu Yihao's story.

They also continued their journey. Arriving at the capital later, An Daiyu had to inform Gu Yihao of the matter.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

At night, the capital is not as crowded as usual. Many residents choose to close the door early and warn children not to wander around.

Ever since the victims were killed by the undead attack, they had been so unwilling to see the starry night.

That night, An Daiyu arrived early due to not much rest during the trip. Plus, he was worried about the undead attack again. When he reached the capital, he went to the imperial palace to greet Emperor Gu first before finally looking for Gu Yihao.

But tonight Gu Yihao was at Qing Mao's house, having dinner quietly. Han Baimo also came as a guest. Qing Mao asked Hyou to be with the chef at home to prepare a lot of food.

After all, calm days might not last forever. Who knows if there was an accident in the middle of the road. Especially Han Baimo who had always strayed mysteries. No matter how hard Qing Mao asked, Han Baimo still shook her head.

Let heaven decide. It's ridiculous. At least, to Qing Mao, this was quite ridiculous.

Fortunately Qing Mao was not stubborn. He also knew Han Baimo's always mysterious temperament.

As the dinner progressed, one of the maids told Qing Mao if someone had visited tonight. He said that person wanted to meet with Gu Yihao to take care of an important matter.

Qing Mao put the chopsticks in place. "Who's coming?" tanyakanya. He asked Hyou to bring that person in.
