Chapter 20: Across the Sky
The knife went in a finger's width.
Han felt the sting, and the warm run of blood down his ribs, and then the wall of the pavilion exploded.
Black stone flew across the room.
The lanterns blew out.
In the dark a figure stood in the hole in the wall, with white hair blown straight up by the wind.
His eyes burned.
Mo's wrists were raw to the bone where the silver had held him.
He had torn out of the array, and run the whole way.
"Get away from him," Mo said.
It was not loud.
Four of Fu's guards charged anyway.
Mo took the first by the helmet and threw him through the roof.
He broke the second man's sword with a closed fist and the third man's arm with the flat of his hand.
The fourth went down before Han saw him move.
Fu stood very still, with the knife in his hand, and the blood on the point.
"Lord Mo," he said. "Be reasonable."
Mo crossed the floor in two strides.
He took Fu by the throat, lifted him off his feet and held him there.
Fu's smile vanished.
His boots kicked the air, and his gold armor cracked under those fingers.
"Xuanyi," Han said.
His mouth barely moved.
"Not here. He has to answer. In front of them."
Mo's red eyes slid to him.
They were wild.
For one long moment Han thought the Lord would crush that neck anyway, and he didn't know if he would try to stop it.
Then Mo opened his hand.
Fu fell, coughing, and scrambled backward over the broken stone.
