The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife: The Sly Lady-Chapter 265 - Assassinating Gong Qianyu

After all, swamps of difference sizes were everywhere in the jungle, so it was extremely difficult for Qingyan troops to get through the jungle safely even though they had figured out a method.

However, they could locate the accurate position of the swamps with the help of the map and put trunks of appropriate length onto the swamps according to the size. In this way, troops could pass the jungle smoothly and head to Nanjiang military camp directly.

The Nanjiang soldier, who assisted Nanjiang’s mortal enemy, Qingyan troops to invade Nanjiang by leaving the map must have his own purpose.

Murong Xue walked past Murong Ye with her bright eyes slightly narrowed. As she strode forward, her farewell rang in the wind. “I gotta dash.”

Watching her receding figure, Murong Ye was confused. It was so odd that his sister suddenly came to him with a strange question but walked off, leaving him in confusion.

When Gong Qianyu reached the jungle, Qingyan troops had already invaded Nanjiang station and attacked the Nanjiang troop fiercely with long swords. As Nanjiang soldiers got stabbed and fell down, the strong smell of blood spread in the air.

With a solemn look, Gong Qianyu slightly stretched his arms under his sleeves and shot dark blue fireballs at Qingyan troops in a merciless but masculine way.

Despite Duan Wuluo stood right next to Gong Qianyu, Duan Wuluo still couldn’t see clearly how Gong Qianyu made his move. All Duan Wuluo could see was fierce fire from his black sleeve hitting Qingyan troops, leaving bloody gashes on their skin.

Amputated limbs scattered everywhere and dyed the land red. Nanjiang vice generals on the sidelines turned pale and frowned tightly when the strong blood smell made its way to their noses.

The vice generals had been martial artists since childhood and learned the deadly fighting techniques. After years of practice, they had been proficient in those techniques, but they were still in an entirely different level from that of Gong Qianyu.

Faced with hundreds of Qingyan troops, Gong Qianyu killed them all even before the vice generals could unsheathe their swords.

How impressive Gong Qianyu’s martial skills were!

“Duan Wuluo, bring me the materials from Mingzhou. I need to reorganize the troops,” Gong Qianyu ordered with a solemn look when he looked at the jungle.

“Got it!” Duan Wuluo responded in a low voice before he turned around and strode forward.

“Vice General Wang, remove all the dead bodies,” Gong Qianyu ordered again after taking a glance at the amputated limbs all over the ground.

“Yes!” Vice General Wang said in a low voice and strode to him. When passing Gong Qianyu, Vice General Wang had a gleam crossing his eyes as he pulled his sword on Gong Qianyu.

With a vigilant look, Gong Qianyu avoided it swiftly. The knife cut a gash on Gong Qianyu’s sleeve, with blood oozing from his shoulder. Ignoring the gash, Gong Qianyu shot a piercing gaze at Vice General Wang. “What are you doing?”

“Killing you, Your Highness,” Vice General Wang answered word by word with a cold look.

“You mean you, killing me?” Raising his eyebrows, Gong Qianyu looked at Vice General Wang with contempt and sarcasm in his bright eyes.

“No, I mean we,” Vice General Wang said in a low voice with a mysterious smile.

All Nanjiang vice generals walked to the back of Wang with a hostile gaze at Gong Qianyu.

“All you guys are here to kill me.” Gong Qianyu looked at them blandly, not irritated by their betrayal at all.

“Your Highness, don’t blame us. It’s an order,” Vice General Wang said with a solemn gaze at Gong Qianyu.

“From whom?” Gong Qianyu looked at him coldly.

“Lord Rui, Gong Qianze!” Vice General Wang said, stressing each syllable.

“Vice General Wang!” another vice general warned Wang hurriedly with a sullen look. That they worked for Lord Rui was confidential and shouldn’t be revealed with no reason before they achieved their purpose.

“Since we’ve worked together, let’s tell him the truth before his death,” Vice General Wang said and waved his hand, not taking the other vice general’s warning seriously. With his eyebrows raised, Vice General Wang added when looking at Gong Qianyu, “Lord Rui wants to be the emperor. But you’re Lord Rui’s strongest opponent since you are a top martial artist and are already a crown prince. That’s why Lord Rui wants you dead.”

“When did you start to work for Gong Qianze?” Gong Qianyu asked with a piercing gaze at Vice General Wang. Gong Qianze managed to make the vice generals in outlying areas work for him. How impressive!

“A couple years ago,” Vice General Wang answered proudly. It had been long since he left the capital to guard the border. But his family lived in the capital and sought refugee with Lord Rui, so they were also on Lord Rui’s side.

“Lord Rui ordered us to kill you when you reached Mingzhou. But you were so skillful in martial arts and always prefered to be alone, so we couldn’t find a chance to kill you until today.”

“It’s all our arrangement that Qingyan ruined your traps and invaded Nanjiang. We did that to make you less vigilant and find a proper excuse for your death.”

“The Crown Prince, Gong Qianyu sacrificed when Qingyan troops invaded Nanjiang station.” This would make Gong Qianyu’s death glorious and was such a reasonable excuse that the emperor and all officers and officials wouldn’t suspect the cause of his death.

“You think you can kill me, huh,” Gong Qianyu said with a disdainful gaze at those vice generals.

“Of course we can’t. But with some trick, you may lose.” Vice General Wang put on a tricky smile.

When feeling the sudden sharp pain in the shoulder, Gong Qianyu lowered his head with a sullen look and saw the blood on the wound had already turned dark.

Gong Qianyu narrowed his eyes slightly and shot a piercing gaze at Vice General Wang. “You put poison on the sword!”

Vice General Wang smiled, “All of us can’t defeat you at all since you have excellent martial skills. So we have no choice but to pull off this dirty trick to complete Lord Rui’s order. Forgive us, Your Highness.”

“Shame on you!” Gong Qianyu rebuked when looking at the vice generals indifferently.

“Eagles don’t catch flies. Since you know the truth, you can die with no regret.”
