Chapter 241: Execution (1/2)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
The poker-faced Gong Qianyu walked straightly past the young man without taking a glance at him, and kept striding towards the fierce battlefield emotionlessly...
The young man was no longer vexed by Gong Qianyu’s ignorance. He then turned around to look at the fighting soldiers, and ordered in a cold tone, “Kill them all!”
“Aye!” responded the soldiers in deep voices. They slashed in a fiercer and faster way, among whom a figure dressed in light purple appeared vaguely...
All of a sudden, Gong Qianyu halted his steps, looked up, and saw the beautiful face of Murong Xue. He widened his eyes to confirm-- it was her indeed!
“Stop! Nobody move!”
On hearing the cold order, the soldiers stopped, and looked doubtfully at Gong Qianyu.
But he only fixed his gaze on Murong Xue and put on a gentle smile, his clear dark eyes mirrored pureness and unsophistication...
“Your Highness.” the young general couldn't help reminding Gong Qianyu who spoke nothing, only staring at Murong Xue and Murong Ye.
Interrupted by the general, Gong Qianyu knitted his dashing eyebrows and squinted at the armor on Murong Ye. He then growled with a furious glare, “Let go of them!”
To his shock, the young general looked at Gong Qianyu apprehensively and responded, “Your Highness, they are from Qingyan military camp. Setting them free will bring about danger. I don’t think we should let go of them...”
He didn’t dare finish his sentence for a tremble of fear came over him when he sensed the piercing gaze of Gong Qianyu.
“Let them go.” said Gong Qianyu in a commanding one.
“Aye!” Soldiers from Nanjiang were frightened to hear that, so they sheathed their swords, and gave way quietly by moving aside.
Murong Ye was confused by Gong Qianyu’s decision: we were sworn enemies of his kingdom, so he should have either killed us now, or had us tied up to pillars in front of his military camp. How come Gong Qianyu just let go of us that easily...
“Let’s get out of here.” Murong Xue said calmly and took a glance at Gong Qianyu. She turned around and strolled backwards, sighing to herself that she would owe him another favor each time they met...
Gong Qianyu looked inexpressibly mysterious and noble, standing in the forest with his hands clasped behind his back and his dark sleeves fluttering. Staring at Murong Xue’s receding figure, his dark eyes lit up...
Noticing Gong Qianyu had focused only on Murong Xue and Murong Ye, the young general narrowed his eyes. He took out a bow and instantly put an arrow on it before he shot mercilessly at Murong Xue’s back...
The sound of slicing the air burst upon Murong Xue’s ears, she turned around immediately and saw a sharp arrow dashing towards her, too swiftly to be dodged...
She frowned and was about to avoid the shot at her heart. However, at this very moment, Gong Qianyu appeared, waving his hand fiercely, from which a curved flame broke out. It burnt the approaching arrow completely and its edge mercilessly swept across the neck of the young general.
Only a tearing sound could be heard before the young general froze, maintaining his archery posture. After a moment, he collapsed on the ground, with his indignant eyes wide open...
