Chapter 201: Evil Gets Its Just Deserts (4)

Back then, the token of command over the military had been split into two seals so that the Left General and Right General could act as a check and balance for each other. However, this bastard actually dared to betray him! Sinners couldn’t be left alive!

“As you will, Your Majesty.”

Old Man Gu’s heart lifted in delight. He quickly strode forward to receive the military seal from General Luo. Looking at the two military seals in his hands, he almost couldn’t hold back the urge to toss his head back in laughter.

Luo Hongtian, we’ve been fighting for so many years, and you’ve finally been defeated by my hand. You even lost because of this little brute, haha! From now on, I’m the only general in Azure Dragon Country!

“General Luo, do you regret it?”

Gu Ruoyun looked at General Luo, who was still kneeling on the ground on one knee, and asked in a light tone.

“Yun’er, I’m no longer General Luo. You can call me Uncle Luo from now on,” General Luo forced a smile and said, “A man must keep to his word. Even three years ago, I could tell that you were a remarkable person! I was afraid that you would be a danger to Azure Dragon Country in the future, so I said that sort of thing back then. However, I also gave you my promise that Uncle Luo would stand by your side if Azure Dragon Country ever treated you unjustly first. Even though I’m a little reluctant to let go of the military seal, what I really can’t let go of are the brothers who braved the battlefields with me! I don’t regret my decision at all!”

“Haha!” Leng Wujing burst out into laughter when he heard General Luo’s words. His eyes were spitting fire as he spoke, “It was Azure Dragon Country that treated her unjustly first? Where have We let her down? Luo Hongtian, do you mean to say that We have done wrong? No one in this world can ever say that We’ve done wrong! No matter what Imperial Concubine Ling has done, the only one who can hold her accountable to any crimes is this emperor! Who do you think you are?! General Gu, what are you waiting for? Take this woman in immediately!”

After he finished speaking, Old Man Gu waved his hand and gave a single order: “Kill!” In an instant, all the soldiers charged towards Gu Ruoyun, their murderous intent clear in their eyes.

The woman dressed in green stood in the middle of the encirclement without any change in expression, casting an indifferent gaze upon the men rushing towards her with raised weapons.

Boom!

Suddenly, a tremendous force burst forth from her surroundings and a violent storm surged up from the ground. Without having any time to react, the men within the storm’s reach were thrown up and away into the air. Following that, the young woman’s domineering voice resounded within the imperial gardens that were bathed in the light of the setting sun.

“Let’s see who else dares to come at me!”

Leng Wujing had made a reasonable assumption. He thought that she wouldn’t be able to face down an army, no matter how strong she had gotten. There were more than ten thousand troops here; even if they all went down, they would surely be able to exhaust her to the point of death.

However, he hadn’t thought that this woman would be even stronger than he had expected.

If this kind of person wouldn’t submit as one of his subjects, then… she could only die!

Imperial Concubine Ling retreated a few steps, watching Gu Ruoyun with a pale face. She bit her lip, and her eyes filled with malice. This woman just wouldn’t die! She’ll never be able to have a peaceful night’s sleep…

“Gu Ruoyun, I’m giving you one more chance to surrender. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”

Old Man Gu’s expression was dark and sinister. He looked at Gu Ruoyun with a sharp gaze.

Her dark hair sent flying from the strong winds around her, only accentuated the domineering air on her face. She raised an eyebrow and coldly said: “The Gu family… You won’t have to wait for too long. Once I’m done with Imperial Concubine Ling, it’ll be your Gu family’s turn…”

“What a boast!” Old Man Gu sneered, “You had Elder Yu’s protection last time, so I wasn’t able to kill you. Who do you think can protect you now?”

Whoosh!

After saying so, Old Man Gu drew his weapon and dashed towards Gu Ruoyun.
