Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Looking at the sky, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. King Chujiang’s military camp was already in chaos, with fighting noises everywhere.

Xiao Nanye sat on Zhui Yun’s back and watched everything quietly.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from afar. Seeing the man on the horse rushing into King Chujiang’s tent, Jiang Peihuan’s lips curled into a cold arc.

“Your Highness, there is a trouble!” someone cried

King Chujiang was fighting with Jiang Changbai. Hearing this, he subconsciously turned his head. In that instant, he was stabbed in the chest by Jiang Changbai’s sword.

Then, King Chujiang fell from his horse.

Jiang Changbai stepped forward with his sword, but was stopped by the people beside King Chujiang.

Ignoring the wound on his chest, King Chujiang looked directly at the man who arrived. “What happened?”

“The mansion has been set on fire,” was the reply.

“W-what did you say?”

Hearing this, King Chujiang’s eyes darkened.” Where’s the prince?”

“King Chujiang, your son, the Prince Chu, is here,” someone announced.

As King Chujiang’s words fell, Lin Xingchen rode up on his horse. In his hands was a bloody head that King Chujiang recognized as his eldest son’s at a glance. “You… what have you done?” King Chujiang stuttered.

“King Chujiang, surrender now,” came a cold command.

At this moment, Jiang Changbai raised his sword and aimed it at King Chujiang.

“Haha…”

Hearing Jiang Changbai’s words, King Chujiang laughed as if he had heard a hilarious joke, though his eyes were devoid of any mirth and filled with coldness.

He looked at Jiang Changbai and said coldly, “Today, 1 will have you buried with me.”

As he spoke, King Chujiang suddenly revealed a crossbow in his hand, aiming it directly at Jiang Changbai.

Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan’s face changed drastically.

“Elder Brother, be careful!” she warned.

When Jiang Changbai heard the warning, he subconsciously dodged, but he was too close to King Chujiang to completely avoid the attack.

At this moment, an arrow flew straight towards them, knocking the bolt from King Chujiang’s crossbow out of the air.

This arrow was shot by Xiao Nanye.

Still holding his bow and arrow, Xiao Nanye shot a second arrow, aiming directly for King Chujiang’s neck.

King Chujiang’s neck was pierced by Xiao Nanye’s arrow.

The man rode his horse forward and chopped off King Chujiang’s head.

Holding the severed head in his hand, Xiao Nanye spoke coldly, “King Chujiang is dead. Lay down your weapons, and I will spare your lives. Otherwise, none shall be spared.”

The people of King Chujiang’s mansion initially wanted to resist, but after hearing Xiao Nanye’s final words of ‘none shall be spared,’ everyone froze.

One of them was the first to drop their weapon, and eventually, all the soldiers laid down their arms.

“I’ll leave this to you guys,” Xiao Nanye said after glancing at Jiang Changbai and Lin Xingchen, before turning to Jiang Peihuan. “Huan Er, let’s return to the camp.”

“Alright.”

Jiang Peihuan was still concerned about the man’s injury. Those two arrows that Xiao Nanye had just shot must have aggravated his wounds.

But in front of so many people, Jiang Peihuan said nothing and just nodded.

However, just as they were about to return to the camp, they saw a group of people rushing over.

Hearing the sound, Xiao Nanye instinctively shielded Jiang Peihuan behind him.

But when the newcomer approached Xiao Nanye, he immediately dismounted.

“Greetings, Your Highness, King Cheng,” the man kneeling on the ground said. He was dressed in brocade, but his expression was timid.

Seeing him, Han Feng whispered into Xiao Nanye’s ear, “Master, this is the illegitimate son of King Chujiang, Jiang Cheng.”

“Jiang Cheng, are you aware that your father is already dead?” Xiao Nanye spoke directly.

Jiang Cheng, who was kneeling on the ground, had already seen the corpse at Chujiang’s Mansion. When he heard Xiao Nanye’s voice, he lowered his head and said in a low voice, “Father deserved what he did. However, Your Highness, our King Chujiang’s Mansion had no intention of rebellion.”

“On behalf of King Chujiang’s Mansion, I am willing to surrender our land and titles. We only hope that His Majesty will spare the lives of the hundreds in our mansion.”

“You represent King Chujiang’s Mansion?” Hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, a hint of surprise appeared in Xiao Nanye’s eyes.

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng looked up, and after a moment, he said firmly, “Yes, 1 can represent King Chujiang’s Mansion.”

“In that case, you will accompany me to return to the capital,” Xiao Nanye declared.

“Yes, thank you, Your Highness.”

After saying this, Xiao Nanye didn’t look at Jiang Cheng anymore and directly returned to the tent with Jiang Peihuan.

As soon as they entered, Jiang Peihuan said to Han Feng, “Take off your master’s clothes.”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Han Feng was stunned. After a few seconds, he hurried forward.

Seeing the cold look in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes, Xiao Nanye felt a little guilty.

Looking at Jiang Peihuan, he said softly, “Huan Er, I didn’t… ah…”

Before he could finish speaking, a sharp pain radiated from his chest wound, and Xiao Nanye glared at Han Feng darkly.

Sensing Xiao Nanye’s warning gaze, Han Feng said with a bitter face, “Master, the wound has stuck to the gauze.”

Jiang Peihuan initially wanted to ignore Xiao Nanye, but hearing this, she couldn’t help but step forward.

Xiao Nanye was wearing armor, so his wound had not touched water, but the wound had adhered to the gauze.

After carefully examining it, Jiang Peihuan looked at Han Feng and coldly ordered, “Go prepare some white wine.”

“Yes.”

Han Feng felt relieved and hurried away.

After he left, Xiao Nanye tried to hold Jiang Peihuan’s hand, but she immediately pushed it away.

“Ah…”

“You?”

Hearing the man’s cries of pain, Jiang Peihuan showed some concern, but when she was held by him, her eyes revealed some anger.

“Huan Er, i really didn’t do it on purpose. Please don’t be angry.”

“I’m not angry, I just…”

Just…heart ache.

When applying medicine to Xiao Nanye, Jiang Peihuan noticed that his body was full of scars—cuts from swords and knives; there were several just on his chest.

“Eldest Miss, the white wine is here.”

At this moment, Han Feng lifted the curtain.

Jiang Peihuan didn’t say anything else. Instead, she took a clean handkerchief, dipped it in white wine, and then used it to moisten the gauze on Xiao Nanye’s wound.

Xiao Nanye couldn’t help but gasp sharply when the white wine touched his wound.

But he didn’t make a sound.

After the gauze was wetted by the white wine, Jiang Peihuan carefully peeled the gauze that had stuck to the wound.

Then, she carefully sprinkled medicine on the wound.

After dressing the wound, Jiang Peihuan didn’t look at Xiao Nanye; instead, she looked at Han Feng.

Han Feng had been standing quietly by the side. Seeing Jiang Peihuan suddenly looking at him, his heart trembled. This lady in military attire seemed colder than his master.

“Eldest Miss, do you have any other orders?”

“If Xiao Nanye uses any more strength again, his right arm might be crippled.”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Han Feng was stunned..
