653 Slaying Generals (1/2)

Kong Yao was pumped up, and many different emotions were rising up within her. When she finally settled down, there was only one thought in her mind-- 'I will die for him!'

'The country has treated me so well; I will repay them!'

However, moments later her heart calmed down, as she recalled what Zong Shou had done to her...

So he wasn't attracted to her beauty. From start to finish, it was just a ruse in order to poach her over for Gantian Mountain.

Logically speaking, one should be glad that someone has such high esteem for one's talents. However, why did she feel that this fellow was so annoying and hateful?

When Lingxuan and the others saw that the golden seal didn't have 'Middle Army' carved on it, but instead 'Left Army,' they all relaxed. Following which their hearts tightened. The position of the left was even higher than Zong Gang's Right Army.

They couldn't help but look towards Kong Yao with strange expressions.

Kong Yao didn't care at all. She expressionlessly put the edict and seal back into the wooden box. She coldly asked Zong Shou, ”Ruler wants me to direct this battle?”

Zong Shou was delighted. She had finally stopped calling him husband. Turning around and looking back at her in interest, for some reason, he felt terrified when he met her ice-cold gaze.

”That's right! Today you are the commander...”

Just as he said that, someone hollered from the side, ”Subject refuses to accept!”

Turning around his head, it was Hu Zhongyuan. At this moment his neck was strained and his face flushed red. ”This woman has not contributed anything to our Gantian. How can she be appointed Left Army Inspector? This decision is preposterous, I feel sorry for all the Gantian generals!”

Zong Shou looked at everyone. Although they didn't say anything, they were all frowning. He had expected such a situation.

”Kong Yao is my concubine!”

Hu Zhongyuan was stunned when he heard that. He didn't know what Zong Shou was getting at. Then, he heard Zong Shou laugh. ”What is wrong with getting her to help me command the army? If it is preposterous then so be it. I want to do this, so what can you do?”

Hu Zhongyuan was furious, thinking to himself, 'how could things be like that?' However, he knew his place and kept quiet. If Zong Shou went barbarian, none of them would be able to calm him down.

Kong Yao didn't pay attention to what Hu Zhongyuan said, only focusing on Zong Shou.

”If a subject commands the army, then Ruler can't interfere, and will only be able to look on from the side...”

”No worries!” Zong Shou replied without hesitation. He would be glad to see that happen.

The pupils of everyone around constricted. They all knew that the ruler's troop-leading ability was even above Zong Yuan.

”I am afraid my prestige isn't established, so Ruler, please give me the right to behead generals!”

This time Zong Shou hesitated. Was this woman using this moment as an excuse to kill all his men?

In the end, he tossed a sword over to her. He couldn't bear to give her the Nameless Sword so this was a reserve sword, but it was still really sharp, able to be considered a treasure sword.

”This sword will let you behead Generals grade-3 and below!”

He pointed at Hu Zhongyuan. ”If that fellow doesn't listen to you, you can take his life!”

Hu Zhongyuan's face was bitter. He was currently at secondary grade-3! He couldn't help but touch his neck, as a chill went down his spine. Was he really going to use him as an example? To be the lesson for everyone? Instantly, he decided it was best to be more well-behaved.

He only protested in his heart, about this devilish woman and how she had charmed the Ruler until he became dumb.

Everyone else was silent. Although the sword could only slay grade-3 and below, but Zong Shou's attitude already showed his warning tone towards all of them.

Kong Yao's eyes shone. She then bowed deeply, ”Subject accepts the edict!”

Her voice turned solemn, ”Ruler wants me to attack Great Shang?”

When she said that, the deck was totally silent.

Zong Shou's eyes suddenly turned cold as he looked opposite. He flew up and stepped towards the main island.

At first no one paid much attention, but when Zong Shou took his second step, a sword intent rose up which descended on their location.

With every other step he took, he caused the sword intent to increase. After ten steps, the strong intent could suppress everything in ten thousand miles!

※※※※

”Who knows whether or not this Gantian Mountain King will choose to stay or leave?”

On the main island, Weihai looked towards the giant navy with interest.

His chest was filled with shock. He had heard that the Gantian Army was strong, and could sweep a continent and wipe out Spiritual House Sects.

However he didn't think that way, and only felt that Gantian Mountain was really fortunate to have obtained the legacy of Wulie Country.

Apart from the Blood Cloud Cavalry, what other strong troops could this barbaric land produce?
