Chapter 234: Chapter 234. Great Killing Weapon
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Yes, our people were all blown up into pieces. Flesh and blood flew everywhere.”
The soldiers kneeling below were trembling in fear. They were afraid that the First Prince would take their hearts. Escaping at the last minute was a capital offense, and their First Prince was vicious. He was bloodthirsty and loved to eat human hearts and drink wine.
“Since when did the Great Xia Kingdom have such a capable person?”
Ye Lui Heng’s thick fingers twirled back and forth. His narrowed eyes flashed with a sinister light. He raised half of his eyebrows and revealed a faint smile. The light in his eyes was the excitement of a wild beast before it plundered.
Interesting. If he had such a killing weapon, he could become the Emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, let alone the Emperor of the Tartan Kingdom.
The Tartan soldiers kneeling on the ground saw the First Prince’s uncertain expression and didn’t know how he would deal with them. They were silent out of fear, not daring to breathe loudly.
“Your desertion has ruined the reputation of our Tartan Divine Soldiers.”
As expected, Ye Lui Heng remembered they had fled at the last minute. His narrowed eyes suddenly opened, and his large palm, like a bear’s paw, smashed the table before him.
The Tartan soldiers kneeling on the ground trembled in fear and kowtowed to beg for their lives.
“Men, if anyone doesn’t get beaten fifty times, 1 won’t let them off if there’s a next time.”
Ye Lui Heng, however, was uncharacteristically lenient with them. Fifty strokes of the rod were too light compared to beheading. These Tartan soldiers hurriedly kowtowed to express their gratitude.
After chasing these defeated generals out of the tent, Ye Lui Heng asked the military advisor standing at the side,”
“Has the Third Prince returned?”
“Reporting to the First Prince, the Third Prince returned to Ta City yesterday.”
The military counselor, Ye Hechang, was a skinny old man. The wrinkles on his face were like windmills. The wrinkles were white inside and black outside. He was as dry as an old tree bark. He had no eyebrows and a pair of eagle eyes. At first glance, he looked like an old sparrow that had become a spirit.
He wore a loose Daoist robe, like a child stealing an adult’s clothes. It was hilarious, but no one dared to laugh because his eyes were terrifying. When he looked at you, it was as if he could penetrate your heart and see through all your thoughts. It was so sinister that it made people’s scalps go numb.
His voice was also very unpleasant to hear. It was so sharp that it sounded like a eunuch who had been strangled. However, this person was quite powerful. He was skilled in witchcraft and had raised a team of assassins impenetrable by swords and spears. Over the years, he had helped the First Prince eliminate dissidents and was deeply favored by him.
” Third Brother is looking for doctors everywhere to treat his paralyzed mother. It’s not a problem. However, Second Brother needs to be more careful. This kid has always been dishonest.”
Ye Lui Heng twiddled his fingers faster, his narrowed eyes filled with ambition.

“If the old thing doesn’t die, 1 won’t be the true ruler of Tartan.”
“Eldest Prince, you don’t have to worry. The night of the full moon is when the old Emperor ascends to heaven.”
Ye Hechangsheng laughed three times at Ye Lui Heng; his sharp voice was so pleasant to Ye Lui Heng’s ears. He laughed loudly at Ye Hechangsheng,”
“Haha, you’ve worked hard, Military Advisor.”
“Men, bring those Han women we just captured to the military counselor’s tent.”
Ye Hechangsheng liked women, but they had to be virgins, so he used them to practice the Yin-Yang Harmony Technique.
“Many thanks, First Prince.”
Ye Hechangsheng smiled like a big chrysanthemum, his eagle-like eyes flashing with eagerness.
Ye Lui Heng took advantage of his happiness to raise his request,”
“Advisor Jun, 1 want that great killing weapon. Help me get it.”
“This is easy to handle. As long as the First Prince does this….”
Ye Hechangsheng’s voice became softer and softer, and Ye Lui Heng laughed out loud,”
“Advisor Jun is indeed my lucky star. With you around, why worry about my great cause?”
Su Qing didn’t know that he had been targeted. He and the girls had finished five bundles of detonators overnight. They didn’t have the materials to make more. They could only leave the city tomorrow to find a swamp and then look for saltpeter soil.
This room was filled with injured people. The other girls could go home to sleep, but Ji Xiaoying and Su Qing had nowhere to rest.
Xiao Ying was so sleepy that she kept yawning. Su Qing also felt a little tired.
“Sis, where are we going to sleep?”
Xiao Ying yawned as she asked Su Qing. Her two big eyes were like grapes that had been washed with water.
“Su Qing, Xiao Ying.”
Ji Shuisheng walked into the house from outside. The temperature inside was much higher than outside because of the stove. It was freezing in Mo City at night. The cold wind was bone-piercing, and it froze one’s blood.
Seeing Ji Shuisheng enter the house with a cold aura, Xiaoying quickly went to get a bowl of hot water for her brother.
The big pot was filled with boiling water to satisfy the drinking needs of the wounded at any time.
” Yong Kang has found a private house for you. The brick bed is already hot, so he asked me to bring you over.”
Ji Shuisheng had come to pick them up. Madam Li was already waiting for them in the house over there.
“Alright.”
Su Qing stretched her stiff neck. Ji Shuisheng saw her movements and asked her with concern,”
“Are you tired?”
“A little.”
Su Qing told the truth. He kept his head lowered as he made the detonator. His neck was as stiff as an iron plate and very uncomfortable.
“Let me give you a massage.”
Ji Shuisheng walked over and whispered to Su Qing. He used his two strong hands to massage Su Qing’s shoulders and neck. He had learned massage from his godfather, so massaging was a piece of cake for him.
Su Qing felt very comfortable. She raised her head slightly and felt his warm and powerful hands rhythmically pinching her stiff muscles. Ji Xiaoying watched them from the side and smiled. Yang had never looked at other women with such gentle eyes.
Sister Su Qing retracted her cold aura before him and looked like a harmless little white rabbit.
Xiao Ying wanted to leave first to give her brother and Sister Su Qing some space to be alone, but it was dark outside, and the wind was blowing like a child crying. She didn’t dare to go out, but if she didn’t dare to go out, she could go in and see the injured.
“I think I heard someone asking for water?”
Xiao Ying found an excuse and scooped a bowl of hot water before entering the house. Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng were the only ones in the outer room. Su Qing leaned against Ji Shuisheng’s strong arms. Ji Shuisheng’s hand moved down from her shoulder and gently pulled her into his arms so her head could lean on his shoulder. He lowered his head and pressed his cheek against Su Qing’s.
Her skin was as smooth as silk and felt a little cold. Ji Shuisheng used his cheek to warm her up and slowly rubbed against her. He whispered in her ear in a low and magnetic voice,
“Thank you for your hard work.”
His gratitude came from the bottom of his heart. His beard had just grown out, and the stubble was tough. When it gently brushed against her skin, Su Qing felt his skin go numb as if it had been electrocuted.
He still remembered how he looked when he first met him. He had a big beard and looked very manly and wild. His eyes were like the vast deep sea, hiding endless thoughts and hatred.
Now, he was more mature and calmer. He was no longer the boorish man he was when they first met. He had grand ambitions, and she wanted to be the one to help him achieve them.
“Shuisheng, I found it..”
