Chapter 354: The one who fears pain the most, yet did not utter a single word!

No information was revealed.

Afraid that this information would be exposed.

Thus arousing suspicion among everyone.

Of course, they did not want the Crown Prince and those around him to know.

After all... this matter is no small thing!

Upon hearing the information, Wang An and Wang Qingyang wore bitter expressions.

The former spoke first: 'I understand your meaning... but we cannot decide this matter.'

'I know.' Lu Yuan nodded: 'It's best that you do not expose any of your information.'

'Also, do not let others know about this.'

Wang An nodded, his expression becoming even more solemn than before.

Yeah, they cannot tell anyone; otherwise, why would they have so many brothers?

Clearly they could have been saved, but due to severe wounds they were literally sickened to death!

Wang Qingyang also seemed to recall.

The complex color in his eyes was about to overflow.

He shook his head, looking helpless.

How could he not know, those brothers who once lived and worked together day and night?

Most were killed by the poisonous insects.

Even those not killed suffered such agony that life was worse than death.

They didn't even have the chance to stand up.

They did not want their brothers to suffer, so they took out the daggers meant to assassinate enemies and viciously stabbed them into those people's hearts.

They watched helplessly as their brothers died.

Afterwards, the number of deaths kept increasing.

Even that brother, the most fearful of death and the youngest.

Under the insects' gnawing, he fell into an incurable illness.

He reached out his hand, pleading with Wang An and Wang Qingyang.

Begging them to end his own life.

Wang An still remembered that youthful face, filled with pleading and pain.

He was the one who feared pain the most, and also the most pitiable.

Even when he died, besides the tears of pain in his eyes,

there was a smile that came from the depths of his heart.

Wang An did not understand how someone who feared pain so much could smile.

Why, even in pain, he would not utter a cry.

He would only shed tears in anguish.

Wang An struggled inwardly.

But he understood.

This matter had already been settled.

It was impossible to save, the fact that that youthful smiling face had departed.

'Alright.' Lu Yuan interrupted Wang An's thoughts.

He looked at the moon, estimating the time.

'The sky is about to brighten; if we hurry, we can still set up two more camps.'

'Lu Yuan plans to...'

'Yes, tell me where the camp is, and I will go find it myself.'

Lu Yuan interrupted Wang An's words, he was in a hurry.

He could not protect all the soldiers, but whatever he could do, he would still do it himself.

Thus, Lu Yuan made this request.

Upon hearing this, Wang An turned his head and made eye contact with Wang Qingyang; the two silently nodded.

Thus, the latter directly drew a sharp blade.

He fiercely pulled from inside the blade.

The blade clattered and fell out.

Only the hilt remained, gripped tightly.

Lu Yuan??? I go, what a secretive hiding method!

One can actually use the blade's body to conceal crucial items.

Aren't you afraid someone will collect and take it away?

Seeing Lu Yuan's doubt, Wang An patiently explained.

It turns out this blade is extremely sharp; to open it, one must use a fingerprint.

Only the captain has the fingerprint; even the vice-captain cannot open it.

If the captain dies, the blade's fingerprint will be set to the vice-captain, and so on.

These troops are all trusted confidants.

There will be no traitors.

They are the most mysterious organization.

It is the Great Qin Dynasty, an organization that cannot be touched.

They are black shadows hidden in the dark, and may descend upon some people's heads at any time.

They are the General's people, and also one of the Grand General's most loyal subordinates.

The wind blew gently, lifting Wang Qingyang's hair, lifting the smile he already wore.

He reached out, pulled out a scroll; the scroll was small, about the size of a palm.

After doing all that, Wang Qingyang flicked the knife's hilt; instantly, the knife made a 'hiss' and returned to normal.

Lu Yuan…… how does it feel as if a tongue had licked it?

It's a bit hard to endure!

Wang Qingyang unfolded the scroll; upon it, streaks of light like stars showered onto the scroll.

The light was not strong, gentle and pleasant.

Not dazzling, yet just right.

Lu Yuan frowned slightly, pointed at the scroll, and said: "What's the situation with this scroll?"

"The scroll is a special product of our country; if Mr. Lu Yuan is interested, I can have someone prepare some for you."

Wang Qingyang smiled, withdrawing the hand that had been dragging the scroll.

In an instant, the scroll floated in midair, and its body quickly grew at visible speed.

It grew to the size of a long table.

Of course, it was a bit smaller than the Shanghe Tu.

"This isn't going to be used for some kind of sacrifice, is it?"

Lu Yuan stepped back with a look of resistance.

He didn't understand why, in the Great Qin Dynasty, so many things seemed to be about sacrifice.

Is it really that hard to just be a person?

Lu Yuan unconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingyang couldn't help but burst out laughing 'hahaha'.

"Mr. Lu Yuan, you're overthinking it; this item won't cause any problems."

"And no sacrifice is needed."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan seemed to deflate, slowly exhaling a breath.

As long as there's no sacrifice, everything can be discussed.

"Good, good, good; since we've agreed, please say a few kind words to the General on our behalf."

"So that our agreement can proceed smoothly."

Lu Yuan smiled with ill intent.

Yeah, why not take advantage of something free?

Slacking off is absolutely slacking off.

But... when it's time to grow, we must develop in a lewd way!

This is Lu Yuan's current creed.

I just wonder what the two beauties are doing; do they miss me?

At this moment, Su Liyan held Gu Qingwan as they slept.

A gentle fragrance drifted in the air.

Feeling the warm Gu Qingwan, she didn't move but lifted her head to gaze at the moon in the sky.

After being entwined with Lu Yuan for so long, she actually felt reluctant to see him leave.

But... how does he feel that today's moon is a bit strange?

Gu Qingwan showed a look of confusion; just then, her nose tip itched.

The two women simultaneously let out an 'Ah-qiu'.

Gu Qingwan?

Su Liyan?

A flush of crimson stained Su Liyan's cheek.

She lifted her head and looked toward Gu Qingwan beside her.

She playfully stuck out her tongue.

"Hehe, Elder Sister Gu, aren't you asleep?"

Gu Qingwan shook her head.

She had long sensed Su Liyan's condition.

Su Liyan wasn't asleep.

Although her breathing was steady, with no problems.

But her twitching eyelids told her that Su Liyan wasn't asleep.

Like Gu Qingwan, she too was worried about Lu Yuan.

"Elder Sister Gu, I don't know how Lu Yuan is doing."

"Don't worry, Lu Yuan's strength is here; there won't be any problems."

Saying this, Gu Qingwan gently rubbed Su Liyan's hair.

The two were so intimate it was unreal, as if they were real sisters.

It had nothing to do with Lu Yuan at all.

If Lu Yuan saw this, he would surely be overjoyed.

The two women can enjoy their happiness harmoniously; it will surely make people happy.

The two women can happily continue their harmonious joy, until they grow old together, spending the rest of their lives!

The clear wind blows, blowing into the window, blowing the hair strands of Su Liyan and Gu Qingwan.

It also stirs up the two's long-lasting, unending longing……(End of chapter)
