Chapter 332: Descendant of the Chanyu

~6 min read 1,018 words

The Great King was speechless: "You don't believe what I say, so why are you asking me again?"

"I have seen the Emperor of Great Jin; you don't resemble him at all."

"I take after my mother; my mother is a fairy, so I am good-looking!"

Lian Xi couldn't believe it.

Just this guy killed his master?

What this person thinks is almost written on his face; the Great King quickly defined him as 'a martial man with little scheming'.

The Great King leisurely crossed his legs, then said: "If you want to capture me to avenge Lan He, I've already swept clean the entire Northern Border; when did you infiltrate? Inside the city are just those fifty-plus outside? How many reinforcements are there outside the county town?"

Lian Xi's face changed drastically: "How do you know how many people there are?"

The Great King advised him on his own: "You say you have so many people; just come straight to capture me—why involve innocent civilians? Oxen are precious; if you say you'll burn them, you'll delay farming and incur heavenly punishment! Isn't your grassland superstitious?"

Why do you look at me like that? At first I thought you were skilled, and as the Great King I cherish talent and hate to kill you, but now if any civilians are hurt or killed, it's all on your head!

"I ask you, how do you know there are fifty outside?" Could this be a trap? Where was the leak?

That's obviously because the Great King counted them on the map!

Even with his hands tied and lifted together, it can still be used.

Along the way, the Great King pulled up the map of Secluded Prefecture, located their position in Dragon Head County, went all the way to the stronghold, and with him lying on the ground for a while, the number of heads exposed outdoors was about fifty.

Seeing the comings and goings of the scouts in familiar clothes, the Great King estimated it was about eighty or ninety percent.

Inside Dragon Head County, it's just these people.

"Fifty is not few; the border fortifications are under construction—how did they not notice you?"

The Great King still wondered how these people entered Secluded Prefecture, nagging at him.

"Why did you bind me? For revenge or for silver?"

Lian Xi was also suspicious; when he brought this guy in, everyone was hidden in the dark, so how did Bai Li Jing know their numbers?

He immediately went out to notify everyone to change the plan, fearing a change.

As soon as he left, the Great King had no qualms, directly opened the interface, and clicked 【Recover】, 【Summon】 at Ling Yin and Chang Li's positions.

In a moment, two living people appeared out of thin air.

At that time, Chang Li was still touring the dock, Ling Yin was searching the streets alone; they only had time to find an empty hiding place, narrowly avoiding becoming living people.

Ling Yin at least knew the whole story, while Chang Li was just confused.

He narrowed his eyes to adapt to the darkness of the room, and found the 'Wise Lord' lying on the ground.

"What are you playing at?"

The Great King stretched out his hand; Ling Yin dragged him up and also cut the cloth binding his hand.

"Kidnapping? And playing! I, the Great King, am miserable! By the way, is Wei Shen alright?"

"No problem, just a leg injury."

The Great King then relaxed, pointed outside to explain to Chang Li: "I've been kidnapped! I've figured it out—inside the city there are only about those fifty outside; Chang Li, it's your time to perform."

Chang Li drew his sidearm and resignedly said: "I'm just a general; I have nothing to do with Ling Brother." This colleague's swordsmanship has surpassed my understanding—no comparison, no comparison.

The Great King is a good leader: "I trust you! But I still don't know how these Xiongnu people infiltrated the border; I'll definitely keep a live one."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people outside rushed in; hearing voices inside, they entered and truly turned into living people—adding two more!

The guard who had been watching the door all along was dazed; he hadn't left at all—how did these two get in?!

But this obviously wasn't important anymore; it was the Great King's turn to stand arrogantly with arms akimbo: "Anyone who dares to kidnap me will not be spared!"

With Ling Yin as this big killer, the battle had no suspense.

The charging Xiongnu men quickly fell in swaths; the remaining finally realized these two were not on their level, and they lost the will to fight. Though no one fled directly, they desperately covered Lian Xi's escape.

The Clever Great King immediately saw through it, rubbed his chin, and gave random orders: "The one who carried me over—first chop off his two hands!"

A guard desperately covering Lian Xi wiped blood from his face and shouted: "Kid, you dare!"

The Great King innocently said: "Why wouldn't I dare?"

Seeing his own side lose another dozen in an instant, realizing the tide had turned, that man snarled: "Lian Xi is our Chanyu's descendant; if you kill him, aren't you afraid of the Xiongnu iron cavalry charging south?!"

Upon hearing that, the Great King, with the little seal clapping in the corner, exclaimed: "Oh dear, there's an unexpected surprise!"

"Scary! The Great King fears most digging pits after battle to bury the Xiongnu iron cavalry—big bodies need big pits!"

Ling Yin: ……

Chang Li: ……

That Lian Xi was so angry his complexion looked abnormal……

The Great King sized up Lian Xi with a glance, and oh, Lan He, as the Left Virtuous King and the Xiongnu's top martial expert, how could his disciple be a nobody?

"Spare his life and let the Xiongnu Chanyu pay money to ransom him!" The Great King instantly figured out how to write the letter to send to the Xiongnu.

That guard breathed a sigh of relief; no matter what, the Third Prince's life is temporarily safe.
