The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife: The Sly Lady

Chapter 266: Vice Generals Killed

Vice General Wang and other vice generals stood up at the same time. Bringing chills with swords, they rushed to stab Gong Qianyu from all directions.

When Gong Qianyu stood still, his fingers hidden in his sleeve let out bursts of dark blue flames which shot directly at the vice generals.

Flames flared and leaves fell as the intense fight continued.

Vice generals armed with swords combated with dark flames, which floated onto the ground after being hit. On the back of two vice generals’ necks, two slim blood lines respectably set in and then gradually enlarged, resulting in clothes being dyed red as blood ran down. Eventually, they fell to the ground with their eyes widened in shock.

One of the three men on their feet lost his left arm from the shoulder. With blood pouring from the wound, he looked as white as a sheet and rocked back and forth as if he might faint at any minute.

The flames also burnt Vice General Wang and another vice general on their chests so that blood oozed from the gashes and dyed their clothes red.

Vice General Wang turned horribly sullen, stunned by Gong Qianyu who caused so many casualties only within several rounds. Although Gong Qianyu had such excellent martial skills, the toxic would kick in faster when he utilized internal strength.

Looking at Gong Qianyu whose face turned pale, lips turned dark and body trembled, Vice General Wang was pleased that the toxic kicked in.

Suddenly, a drop of black liquid from Gong Qianyu’s finger fell onto the ground silently and dyed the brown ground black in no time.

Gong Qianyu was utilizing internal strength to discharge the toxic! “Was he trying to detoxify himself and attack the vice generals? Don’t even think about it!”

Vice general Wang and another two vice generals looked at one another and stabbed Gong Qianyu fiercely with long swords.

When the swords were just an inch away from him, Gong Qianyu vigilantly snapped his fingers and directed his strong flames at the vice generals’ chests.

As soon as the flames penetrated through the vice generals’ chests, blood spurted out into the sky.

With an aggrieved gaze at Gong Qianyu, the vice generals got stiffened at the killing gesture before they fell down with no breath.

Gong Qianyu stood among dead bodies with an awful look. When the strong blood smell made its way to his nose, he felt like a vomit of blood and turned dizzy. With all strength gone, he couldn’t help collapsing.

“Gong Qianyu.” Murong Xue landed on the ground and strode to Gong Qianyu, when he breathed weakly with his eyes closed, his fair face and red lips turned dark, and stinky dark blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

“What happened to him?” Ouyang Shaochen strode to them and asked gently when his white sleeves fluttering but free from dust.

“The toxin has reached his heart. Fortunately, it’s just kicked in. We can save him!” Murong Xue said gently. She took off the pearl head-ornaments, untangled the silver threads inside the ornaments, and did acupuncture on his chest gently with the threads.

“What happened?” Duan Wuluo rebuked as he strode to them. With a horrible look, he took a glance over the poisoned Gong Qianyu and the vice generals’ bloody dead bodies. It had been just a short while since Duan Wuluo left them to issue an order. How come so many things happened in such a short time?

“Isn’t it obvious? Nanjiang vice generals failed to kill Gong Qianyu and ended up being killed instead,” Murong Xue said peacefully. She knew the one who dropped the map must have a unique purpose when she saw the jungle map, but it didn’t occur to her that the man wanted to kill Gong Qianyu.

With a tight frown, Duan Wuluo refused to believe her but he couldn’t deny that vice generals were killed by Gong Qianyu because Gong was the only one who could manipulate the flames.

“Why did they do that?” As a commander, Gong Qianyu stopped 30,000 Qingyan soldiers from attacking 10,000 Nanjiang soldiers all by himself. Despite the vice generals were arrogant, they should have combated with Qingyan troops instead of stabbing their general.

“Gong Qianyu was a barrier for them to assist Lord Rui to succeed to the throne, of course they would eliminate Gong Qianyu,” Ouyang Shaochen answered casually.

Astonished by his words, Duan Wuluo put on a complicated look and was at a loss of what to say.

“Lord Rui who is obsessed with ambition wants to kill his sibling in order to ascend to the throne. With solid proof, do you still not believe that, Prefect Duan?” Raising his eyebrows with contempt, Ouyang Shaochen gazed at Duan Wuluo.

When Ouyang Shaochen spoke Duan Wuluo’s mind, Duan shifted his eyes and sighed heavily. In this dynasty of only two princes, Du Wuluo thought it was out of the question that Lord Rui who appeared to be a gentleman would kill his sibling.

However, the fact told Duan Wuluo that things were not so easy as he imagined, neither were people’s minds. That princes fought for the throne was not a rare phenomenon throughout history. The number of princes didn’t change the situation.

Gong Qianyu gradually returned to normal. When he opened his eyes gently with his eyelashes trembling, Murong Xue’s pretty face came into his eyes. His dark eyes sparkled as he said, “Murong Xue, you saved me.”

Murong Xue responded with a smile, “Most of the toxin has been cleared. You can recover completely after taking some medicine.”

“Thank you!” Gong Qianyu said blandly as he stood up with the help of his hands and shot a piercing glance at the dead bodies. “Prefect Duan, I need to go back to the capital. You’re in charge of Mingzhou now.”

After a daze, Duan Wuluo said hurriedly, “Leading troops to fight is beyond my ability.”

Gong Qianyu suddenly snapped his fingers and directed some dark blue flames, which blocked Qingyan soldiers like a flaming screen in front of the jungle. No matter how hard Qingyan soldiers tried to strike, they failed to break through.

Gong Qianyu said in a charming voice, “Before I leave, I’ll cast an enchantment around this place. You don’t have to lead troops. Just keep guard at Mingzhou with the troops.”
