Book 25 Chapter 11 - Exacting Sweet Vengeance
At the darkest hour before dawn, a long procession of nearly three thousand hu Windstoruidance is a few torches
From the appearance of the procession, it is evident that these refugees are in a state of panic and disorder Intermittently broken up into several sections, each batch of travellers arethe women and children to their own devices at the back of the procession, no assistance is rendered to the fallen
Although everybody detests Lu Buwei to the core, they are filled with syht before their eyes
Xiang Shaolong pondered: “I only wish to take the life of Old Traitor Lu Is there a way of singling Lu Buwei out from so many people?”
Xiao Yuetan coldly chortled; “Given Old Traitor Lu’s self-seeking character, he would definitely be at the head of the pack”
Pointing to the front of the convoy, he indicated: “There are a few human-pulled carts Old Traitor Lu must be inside one of them”
Xiang Shaolong instructed: “In this case, once the first batch of hundred odd individuals exit the valley, we can seal the valley ood and stones It’ll be easier to capture hio free!”
The ees left the iant boulders ca down suddenly froulfed by a huge cloud of dust and the boo objects shocked everyone out of their wits
The wood and rocks that are pushed off the cliff instantly separated the procession in the ees on both sides of the obstruction fled for their lives in opposite directions a the cries and shouts for help
Some of them naturally fell down and were trampled all over by their fellow travellers It felt like the apocalypse
For those whoahen scores of torches are being lighted As two hundred Wu Family Warriors rode towards Lu Buwei from all directions, they did not harm any of the porters and followers They si Lu Buho is presently protected by ten odd bodyguards
In a split second, Lu Buwei is completely surrounded and he has reached the end of his tether
Standing in the centre of a protective circle formed by his family warriors, Lu Buwei’s face is deadly pale and he is panting non-stop
Together with Tu Xian, Xiao Yuetan, Teng Yi, Jing Jun and Ji Yanran, Xiang Shaolong rode out froh up on his horse, he thundered: “Lu Buwei, years ago when you ambush my forces and murdered my wife and maids, did it ever cross your mind that there will be a day like today?”
Noticing Tu Xian and Xiao Yuetan, Lu Buas bristling with anger and hatred As his body shook uncontrollably, he pointed his finger at them and bellowed: “Well done! To think that I, Lu Buwei, have been treating you tith benevolence, how dare you conspire with outsiders against me”
With a ‘pui’, Tu Xian spat a glob of saliva on the ground Clenching his teeth, he cursed: “Shut your sainst you Despiteloyalty, you chose to sacrifice my bosom buddies in order to direct suspicions away from yourself You are not fit to be human”
Xiao Yuetan scorned: “In the face of death, you are still incorrigible and full of shameless nonsense Today, I am personally here to witness your dehteous ways of Heaven How dare you dispute the truth and make willful accusations?”
Lu Buas briefly du the hundreds of arrows aiue
In her shrill voice, Ji Yanran ad has always treated you with kindness However, you cold-bloodedly poisoned hi Yi roared: “The deaths of Xu Xian and Lu Gong were all because of you Heavenyou alive for the past few years”
Jing Jun instead bellowed: “You bunch of fools, are you thinking of acco him to his deathbed? Thron your weapons at once and scras can carry you”
The falances with one another After the first weapon is discarded, everyone disappeared in a flash What’s left is a freshly betrayed-by-his- alone in the centre of their encirclement
Xiang Shaolong and his companions leapt off their horses and advanced towards Lu Buwei
JIANG!
Xiang Shaolong unsheathed Hundred Battle Sabre
Within a second, his mind has experienced countless flashbacks of theered by Lu Buwei
Chunying and her fellow maids, his trusted subordinates, one by one, they started bleeding and eventually collapsing on the ground; in the pri into a lifeless corpse in his ar’s eyes as he passed away; Lu Gong dying with his eyes wide open, these ies simultaneously recurred in his vision
Feeling as if a huge boulder has been casted into his tranquil, rief
Out of the blue, he discovered the Hundred Battle Sabre in his hand has penetrated the abdomen of Lu Buwei
It was Lu Buwei’s body that suddenly lunged forward and pierced itself against his Hundred Battle Sabre Actually, Lu Buas s hi, he could hear Teng Yi praying: “Princess Qian, this is for you May your soul in heaven be appeased”
By the ti, he has turned into a lifeless corpse All the fa to do with him anymore
Although Xiang Shaolong personally killed his ne empty His mind totally blank, he did not experience any joy froeance
He has grown to detest the s of humans
The sky is finally brightening
After three days and two nights of continuous riding, Xiang Shaolong and his followers could not withstand the fatigue any tents, they took a break
They are one day’s journey away from the farms
During their voyage, Xiang Shaolong is extremely quiet
That very night, the weather is excellent Accompanied by a new crescentover the entire horizon, the stars are twinkling in clusters of varying sizes
Leaving the ca and Ji Yanran ascended a srass that is tall enough to reach their knees, they soak in the aenuine and deep love as husband and wife
Xiang Shaolong started to relax Presently, Lu Buwei’s issue seems to be miles away and the threat of Xiao Pan is literally non-existent
He suddenly recalled athat he watched in the 21st century Lu Buwei certainly did not die the way he did
After being i Lao Ai into officialdo and exiled to shi+yi, Henan Province
Nonetheless, still bearing malicious intentions, Lu Buwei remains in cahoots with the rich and powerful of the six States Eventually, he was forced by Yingzheng toletter
Knowing that he cannot escape the gallows, Lu Buwei chose to co poisonous wine
However, Xiang Shaolong was obviously the one who killed Lu Buith his sabre Did he unconsciously change the course of history?
In the midst of his wild reflections, Ji Yanran’s shrill voice sounded beside his ear: “Hubby, a penny for your thoughts?”
In the spur of thenearly wanted to round’ to his lovely wife Ultie and bitterly s about”
Ji Yanran cos are really bizarre Sooal but once we succeeded, ould feel so empty and lost inside Fortunately, this is not the trend for everything For exaet better with tio by Of course, there are also friends ould become your enemies!”
Xiang Shaolong nodded his head: “Listening to Yanran speaking is one of the greatest pleasures of ether with Yanran at the borderlands, what more can I ask for?”
