The True Death Match (2)

Li Hong Yuan thought to himself, as expected of the youngest head cabinet minister that he singlehandedly promoted up in his past life. Because their experiences were different, he matured even faster than in the past life. This kind of talented and wise person, if not for getting involved with Wan Wan, he was still willing to continue using. However, there weren’t that many ifs in the world.

Seeing a general lead several hundred Qi Yuan soldiers closer and closer, the same uniform attire, the shining blades, and moreover, each person all had a bow and arrow in hand, their speed increasingly quick; the bow on the back in fact had already been taken down. No matter how one looked at it, it was harboring ill-intentions.

“Ah Yuan, quickly leave, you’re their true target. As long as you can escape…….” Jing Wan anxiously pushed him.

“Wan Wan.” Li Hong Yuan softly interrupted her, “Even if able to leave, I still won’t leave. Where you’re at is where my heart belongs. You must know, as long as you’re in their hands, then I will undoubtedly offer myself up. Moreover, if they use you to threaten me, then prior to saving you, I will do anything for them.”

Jing Wan’s eyes instantly reddened, her teeth loudly gritting, “If not for me, if not for me…….”

“If not for you, then there’s no meaning in restarting my life. Wan Wan, you should actually blame me. It was I that had you dragged into this. However, even if starting over a hundred, a thousand times, I will still do this. That’s why, don’t say words like this, this husband will be heartbroken.” Li Hong Yuan’s thumb wiped across the bottom of Jing Wan’s eyes, “As long as I have you, I can accept any defeat. That’s why, Wan Wan, will you face death together with me?”

“Alright!” Jing Wan didn’t hesitate in the slightest, resolute and decisive. The only regret was probably just their child being unable to be born, needing to accompany them together. However, it didn’t matter. Jing Wan believed that in the next life, they will still be a family.

After mentally preparing, Jing Wan wasn’t that tense anymore. Seeing those Qi Yuan soldiers drawing the sword and bow before even approaching, there was nothing left to say. Their guesses were all a reality.

Li Hong Yuan and Jing Wan got surrounded. Even though they all heard Li Hong Yuan and Jing Wan’s words, they still dutifully and diligently protected them, holding the blade in hand, facing outward, assuming a defensive stance, even if facing several hundred people holding bows and arrows. They were truly too tiny and powerless.

That General Sun walked out, appearing rather honorable and upright of a person, seemingly really not having done anything bad before. But, the people at present all knew how to disguise themselves all too well, so the saying, ‘the appearance is born from the heart’, also isn’t that reliable. Just like the saying, to know the person, to know the face, yet don’t know the heart.

General Sun fixedly stared at Li Hong Yuan for a moment, suddenly cupping his hands, “This subject, greets wangye.”

“Within five relations of the Ding Duke, you all don’t exist, so which branch of the Sun clan are you from?”

“Hearing wangye say this, wangye must have quite the understanding towards the Sun clan. Generally speaking, even an imperial prince holding great power all won’t go learn this meticulously, right? After all, at present, it’s no longer the era of the noble clans ruling the world, so who would still go study the ancestral records. And someone who would do this kind of thing certainly won’t just be purely curious. Jin Qinwang having no good points, exactly who said these words?” General Sun sighed with a regretful look. As for his own birth, it was something that he didn’t want to mention the most, because that was a stain that was unable to be washed away, causing him to only be able to be cooped up in this poor and desolate mountain for the rest of his life. Aside from muddily living through the days, it was still just muddily living through the days. Just, he never thought that the heavens would actually give him this kind of opportunity.

“The ones that say this are quite many. In the Sun clan, at least half have said before, and the remaining half certainly must have also thought of it before.”

General Sun’s face warped. This was mocking their entire clan for being blind! However, subsequently, he coldly sneered, “So what? Jin Qinwang has always been hiding, deceiving everyone, yet will soon die here out in the wilderness, not even leaving behind a corpse.”

“Since coming from a prestigious noble family, then how come just don’t know to leave a bit of leeway when speaking? Regardless of whether or not the target has died, all shouldn’t leave behind pretext for gossip.”

“Wangye sure has good composure. But, then again, if one didn’t have a bit of composure, then how could one hide from everyone for this long. Just now, prior to this subject’s arrival, reckon that wangye has already realized something wrong. Unfortunately, it’s still too late. Otherwise, wangye probably won’t be standing here, instead like a stray dog wearily fleeing for one’s life. In the capital, the other princes all have wangye viewed as a threat, wishing to quickly eliminate. And in reality, you are indeed a big threat, not only just having imperial favor that simple. If I were to have wangye’s head sent back to the capital to give to Kang Qinwang, perhaps I might not ascend the heavens in one step, but I can at least still rapidly rise up in status.”

TN: All

Jing Wan frowned. Even if her husband right now is a fish on the cutting board, he still isn’t someone that anyone can just humiliate. However, Jing Wan didn’t open her mouth. She indeed had the resolve to die, but until the last moment, she absolutely won’t give up that easily.

Li Hong Yuan’s expression didn’t change, even meaningfully nodding, “The imagination is quite good.”

“Imagination? That is a fact! Prepare—–”

“Wait.” Li Hong Yuan lifted his hand, “Where’s Sun Yi Lin? He probably very much want to personally see this prince die, right? Where is he? He didn’t come along?”

Jing Wan slightly turned her head, glancing at Li Hong Yuan. Her husband seemingly was a bit strange. Even at this time, still thinking of his ‘love rival’, isn’t that a bit……..

“Wangye wants to see me?” A strained voice sounded from behind the soldiers directly in front.

The soldiers successively made way, and a person dressed in black slowly walked forward. Midway, they even clenched their hand into a fist, pressing by their lips and coughing a few times.

Different from what Jing Wan had seen previously, he was wearing a large hood, practically covering his eyes. When he had his head lowered, one for the most part was unable to see his face. And when he lifted his head, his face had a mask.

Previously, he was still very nonchalant about it, yet covering up at this time…….

Jing Wan casted a glance at General Sun. For the sake of working together nicely, covering up was also normal.

“Indeed quite want to see wangye die. At this time, if one doesn’t say a bit of something, seemingly would feel very stifled. Ever since realizing that wangye isn’t simple, one just knew that to want to deal with wangye, it won’t be easy, so can only have you overestimated. After all, when having the ability to deceive everyone in the world, if underestimated, afraid one would die tragically. That’s why, one mustn’t act blindly without thinking and must patiently bide one’s time, quietly waiting, even needing to meticulously plan. Afterwards, it was just defeating in one strike. Don’t look at how previously, Ruan Fang Fei and them were bouncing around that vigorously. I simply never felt that they would succeed, and the reality was indeed just as I’d expected. However, coming to this step now, in my eyes, it seemingly wasn’t as difficult as expected.”

Sun Yi Lin looked directly at Li Hong Yuan, his eyes even getting covered by the edge of the hood a little, terrifyingly dark.

“In the end, I still won.”

“Is that so? Are you sure?” Li Hong Yuan calmly asked back.

Sun Yi Lin’s gaze slightly shifted, landing on Jing Wan, “Wan Wan, come with me, alright? The words that I once said will always be effective.”

“Don’t be dreaming in the middle of the day, quickly wake up.” Jing Wan expressionlessly said.

Sun Yi Lin knew, if previously Jing Wan still had a bit of emotional reaction towards him, then this while, there was just nothing left. He’d won, but did he really win? The turnaround in his fate seemingly just start when he fell for her. Because of liking her, yet she was someone long eyed by Jin Qinwang, that’s why he would get heartlessly suppressed, and afterwards get pushed step by step towards oblivion. Did he blame her? Actually, Sun Yi Lin knew that he shouldn’t blame her. She didn’t do anything wrong. But, sometimes, human emotions weren’t that easy to control.

That’s why, Sun Yi Lin had to admit, when getting ruthlessly tormented, getting driven insane, he had blamed her. And the more it was like this, the deeper the obsession, the more he wanted to obtain.

“If it’s with her as the target of our battle, then I seemingly indeed can’t win against you.” Sun Yi Lin could tell, she really will follow after him to the yellow springs. “Really make one jealous.”

“Wan Wan isn’t an object. For you to have her viewed as an object to be fought over, Sun Yi Lin, right now, I very much suspect whether or not you really like her?” Li Hong Yuan frowned, looking to Sun Yi Lin, just like as if recategorizing him.

Sun Yi Lin blanked. He liked Luo family’s third miss, this bit, he has always firmly believed, wait, Luo family’s third miss?

“Yi Lin, what are you wasting your breath with them for? If you really like this Jin Wangfei, just kill the others and have her snatched over.” General Sun said it as such, yet his eyes flashed with mockery. An esteemed di young master of the Ding Duke Manor, how noble of a status, yet can’t stop thinking about a married woman. This kind of person, no matter how capable, was still limited.

However, Sun Yi Lin simply didn’t pay him any attention.

General Sun’s complexion was somewhat pale, “Prepare——”

“Who gave you permission?” Sun Yi Lin looked over.

General Sun’s face instantly stiffened, his gaze somewhat distant, and afterwards just gave the order to put down the arrow.

“Puppet gu?” Gong Jiu softly muttered.

The people nearby all heard. Just hearing that name, one just knew its effect. Instantly, Jing Wan just recalled, could it be that Sun Yi Lin also wanted to give her this kind of gu?

“Wan Wan, you really won’t considered for a moment? If you agree, I can even spare Jin Qinwang’s life.” Liking or not, he also didn’t want to look into.

“Sparing as in living worst than death.” Jing Wan coldly laughed.

“That is still being alive, is it not good to be alive?”

“Just like you, just like a rat living in the shadows? As the former number one young master of the capital that was like the clear moonlit sky, you feel that right now, you’re also very well?” Jing Wan mocked.

He was ultimately once a prideful noble young master, so Jing Wan’s words stabbed until his heart was drenched in blood. Well? Not well at all! “Since that’s the case, then there’s nothing left to say. In any case, I can’t obtain your heart, so leaving behind the shell is also enough.” Sun Yi Lin turned around, “Send them on their way.”

Even though they were already mentally prepared, when it came time, facing several hundred fully drawn arrows, thinking of how they will soon be pierced full of holes, one still couldn’t help but feel somewhat scared. However, none of them closed their eyes.

Li Hong Yuan grasped Jing Wan’s hand, and Jing Wan also tightly held his. Li Hong Yuan squeezed her fingers, “Wan Wan, don’t be scared.” His eyes were deep and serene, saying a few words that Jing Wan couldn’t understand.
