Chapter 314: Sacrifice the Knight… to Save the King?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The fear of death alone was enough to make her wish she was dead. She probably did not even have the courage to pick up a knife.

She wanted to live. She wanted to continue living and kill everyone who bullied her.

Hence, she hoped that person would send someone to save her on account of all that she had done for him.

Although the chances were slim, she still had hope.

Unfortunately, two days later, just before Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue rushed back to the military camp, Xue Ling was killed by the person backing her.

…

When Qian Jiyun heard the news, all he said was, “She deserves to die!”

“Deputy General Sun, did you tail after them?” An Jiuyue asked immediately.

“We did.” Deputy General Sun nodded, but his expression was sour.

“We ended up at Prince Lei Ting’s, but I have a feeling that he has someone else backing him. Otherwise, Xue Ling would have died long ago.”

There were a few days between Xue Ling’s message and her death. Prince Lei Ting could not possibly be only thinking about how to kill her during this time, right?

An Jiuyue sneered.

Would Xue Ling have died long ago? Or did that person do it on purpose?

“She died at the right time.”

“Uh…” Deputy General Sun was stunned and looked at An Jiuyue in confusion.

He guessed, “You mean they attacked first because they knew the General was coming back and were afraid he would pry something out of Xue Ling?”

“A small fry like Xue Ling is not worthy of knowing anything,” Qian Jiyun said in a deep voice with his hands behind his back.

“Then…”

An Jiuyue looked at Qian Jiyun and said, “They’re sacrificing the knight to save the king.”

“Sacrifice the knight… to save the king?”

Deputy General Sun looked at An Jiuyue and then at the General, still confused.

An insignificant person like Xue Ling would not be considered a “knight” in the eyes of a vicious person who disregarded human lives, right?

“It’s Prince Lei Ting!”

He quickly realized that the abandoned knight was Prince Lei Ting, not Xue Ling!

After all, they had tailed the person who killed Xue Ling, exposing Prince Lei Ting. On top of that, if Yan Nuo could find more information, Prince Lei Ting would only have one end, even if he was royalty.

“General, who is that person? He can even abandon Prince Lei Ting!”

Qian Jiyun chuckled and replied dryly, “Heaven knows.”

That person had planned such a massive flood that killed so many people. The entire country was shaken by the epidemic, and so many people were kidnapped!

No matter how powerful he was, Qian Jiyun would ensure he died without a burial place.

“What should we do now? Have we lost all our leads, General?” Deputy General Sun asked.

“Why would they be lost? Prince Lei Ting knows who he’s working with,” An Jiuyue reminded him with a smile.

“So…” Deputy General Sun looked at An Jiuyue in confusion.

So what if Prince Lei Ting knew? He would not tell them who it was.

“So hurry up and send someone to guard Prince Lei Ting. Don’t let him die too!” An Jiuyue reminded him.
