Chapter 268: Encountering the Garrison

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Li Yuan’an struggled and refused to accept his fate. “Let go of me. If you dare to kill me, my father will rip you apart.”

As he cursed, he was shackled and thrown into the prison cart.

There were more and more people watching, and it felt like the street was busier than during festivals.

Li Yuanshao arrived at the tallest teahouse in the city. From here, he could see the execution platform at the market. He had already reserved a private room and was waiting to watch.

Yang Jingwen pushed the door open and entered the private room. “Yuanshao, is this considered one of your wishes fulfilled?”

In front of the window, Li Yuanshao stood with his hands behind his back. His snow-colored robe outlined his cold and noble side. The aura of a delicate and weak flower was getting fainter. “Li Yuan’an is not dead yet.”

Yang Jingwen walked over and stood side by side with Li Yuanshao. She looked in the direction of the execution platform and said, “It’s just a matter of time.” Li Yuanshao raised his beautiful eyebrows slightly. “If the head hasn’t fallen to the ground, there are still variables.”

Yang Jingwen retracted her gaze and looked at the handsome and noble man beside her. “Yuanshao, what do you plan to do next?”

Li Yuanshao said concisely, “Wait.”

Yang Jingwen was puzzled. “Wait for what?”

Li Yuanshao did not want to reveal too much. “You’ll know when the time comes.”

Yang Jingwen turned to look at the execution platform. “Yuanshao, you’ll get what you want.”

After a moment, Li Yuanshao said, “I hope so.”

On the street, the prison cart was getting closer and closer to the execution platform. Li Yuan’an was making more and more noise, and he was getting more and more afraid…

“Let go of me, let go of me!”

“You can’t kill me. I’m the heir and the prince!”

“I won’t let you off!”

While Li Yuan’an was cursing, the prison cart finally arrived at the execution platform. He was roughly taken out and thrown on the platform.

Li Yuan’an looked up at the people around him. All of them wanted him dead. Why? Why?

“Li Yuan’an, do you have any last words?”

The governor looked around, wondering if that pair of brothers were around.

The previous governor was beheaded on the execution platform. Now that he had brought the First Prince to justice, would he also end up like his predecessor?

He was a little nervous.

“No, you can’t…” Li Yuan’an’s eyes were bloodshot. The fear in his heart had reached its peak. All the things he had done in his life kept flashing in his mind, but in the end, they all turned into darkness.

Li Yuan’an’s head rolled on the ground, leaving a trail of blood. His eyes were wide open and he died with endless grievances.

When the onlookers saw this scene, they cheered. Li Yuan’an used his status as the heir to kidnap innocent girls, and he also robbed people’s shops. He never paid for food in restaurants and beat up anyone he disliked. Now that Li Yuan’an’s head was on the ground, everyone was excited. It was simply awesome!

When Li Yuanshao saw this, his clenched fists slowly relaxed. He closed his eyes and let out a long breath. The resentment and hatred that had accumulated in his heart for so many years seemed to have dissipated at this moment.

As Li Yuan’an’s head fell to the ground, many things in the northern border city changed quietly. The most obvious thing was that the northern border city seemed to be even more lively.

Tong Yujie intercepted a batch of weapons at Jiuhua Mountain.

This mountain was only half a day’s journey away from Si Ming Mountain. If they were a step late, the weapons would have been transported to Si Ming Mountain.

These weapons were not swords but arrowheads. There were a total of five boxes with about 5,000 arrowheads.

Tong Yujie saw Tang Jinghong and quickly went up to him. “General!”

Tang Jinghong nodded at him. “Let me take a look at the weapons first.”

Tong Yujie and the secret guards quickly opened the boxes. There were boxes of arrows neatly placed inside. The arrows were sharp and brand new.

Tang Jinghong picked up an arrow from the box and looked at it. The arrowhead was neither light nor heavy. It was very even. The tip of the arrowhead was long and extremely sharp. It was better than the one made by the Imperial Court.

It seemed that the Lord of the Northern Border was also talented in this aspect!

“Yujie, go and get some people to transport these arrowheads to Maiji Mountain!”

“Yes, General.”

Si Ming Mountain.

The secret guard walked into the tent anxiously. “Your Highness, an urgent letter!”

The fake Lord of the Northern Border immediately took out the letter from the envelope and read it. As he read, his face turned ashen and the anger in his chest burned. “Tang Jinghong, I’m irreconcilable with you!”

The letter said that the grains had been hijacked by Tang Jinghong and his secret guards.

Previously, Tang Jinghong caught Qin Yajun and Qin Fengnian, causing him to not be able to continue pretending. Now, Tang Jinghong hijacked his grains, making food a problem for his army. He wished he could cut Tang Jinghong into pieces!

“Your Highness, what should we do now?”

“Send people to get the grains back! Oh right, which direction did they take the grains?”

“Maiji Mountain!”

The fake Lord of the Northern Border’s eyes narrowed. As expected of a divine general. He chose Maiji Mountain instead of so many other mountains. “Go, tell the troops to accelerate their march to Maiji Mountain and occupy that place before Tang Jinghong.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

As soon as this secret guard left, another secret guard came over. “Your Highness, I have something to report!”

The fake Lord of the Northern Border shouted, “Speak!”

The secret guard knelt on one knee. “The First Prince has been beheaded in public.”

The fake Lord of the Northern Border was stunned for a moment before returning to normal. The death of a good-for-nothing whose mind was filled with women was not important. “Did anything else happen in the Northern Border City?”

“The Seventh Prince is no longer as weak as before. He’s getting tougher now!”

“Has he been hiding all this time?” The fake Lord of the Northern Border was silent for a moment. He did not care about this. When he defeated Tang Jinghong, the Northern Border would still be his. These people were all ants in front of him. “Go to the city to collect grains and transport them to Maiji Mountain immediately.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

The fake Lord of the Northern Border came to the top of the mountain and looked at the approaching enemy army with a smile. This seemed to soften the scar on his face, but there was a cold killing intent under his smile.

“Tang Jinghong, can your letter be delivered in time?”

When the entire army was resting, Chu Qingzhi, who was sitting on a large rock, suddenly heard countless footsteps.

She immediately flew to the top of the mountain…

Over there in the next mountain, a large army was marching in the direction of Meiji Mountain.

“It’s indeed the army of the Lord of the Northern Border. Given how orderly the march is, it should be the garrison troops.”

“I didn’t expect to run into the garrison troops here.”

“Is there any way to stop them?”

Suddenly, Chu Qingzhi clapped her hands. “There is!”

She took out a jade flute from her sleeve and played a beast taming tune. The tune was hurried and rough.

Rings of spiritual light flew out of the jade flute, interweaving with some incomprehensible patterns that quickly spread into the air..
