Chapter 207: Chapter 167: False Title

Blood trickled down the sword.

Wen Ranchen glanced at the sword, with a hint of disdain, he held it further away from himself.

“Does anyone else have objections?”

The soldiers were silent as chickens.

This objection was something they dared not have, they were a bit frightened.

The dead ones had intricate connections with Prince Bai Luo. If Prince Bai Luo claimed himself as the Emperor of Yan Gui City, then those three who died earlier could be considered his chief ministers.

Wen Ranchen killed them without a shred of hesitation, let alone ordinary soldiers like them.

Wen Ranchen, General Wen, clearly surnamed Wen, but acted without any hesitation.

He is simply a god of slaughter.

“Just now, those few people abused their authority and forced you all to block me. Now, I’ve eliminated the evildoers, so you all can rest easy.”

Pang Hu scratched his head, what’s the General suddenly talking about, he doesn’t understand.

Yet after hearing these words, the soldiers suddenly retreated like a tide, as if they had never appeared at all.

Only Wen Ranchen’s subordinates, who were full of admiration for their General Wen, remained.

The General is so handsome, swiftly cutting down three men, shas ha!

However, can these people be killed so casually? Just now, listening to the General’s words, it seems these three had some small official positions?

“General…”

Someone wanted to ask how to deal with these three, but didn’t know how to start.

Wen Ranchen remained graceful, gently tapping the sword in his hand and instructed, “Wipe the Imperial Sword.”

Alright!

Wait!

The Imperial Sword, well then, no problem.

Pang Hu was as dimwitted as ever, only after Wen Ranchen left did he blankly ask the person next to him, “Why did the General only kill three people, and all those soldiers just left? When we fought battles before, unless we wiped out the enemy forces, they wouldn’t retreat.”

Chang Qing, the smartest among Wen Ranchen’s subordinates, explained upon hearing, “The General, though he only killed three people, scared the soldiers out of their wits. When marching to battle, aura matters; if they are scared by the enemy, how can they win the fight? Better to run.”

Pang Hu clapped his hands, so that’s it.

Wen Ranchen, with sharp hearing, overheard accidentally.

Although it’s not exactly like that, it’s close enough, as long as you’re happy.

Wen Ranchen looked towards the direction of the Capital, his gaze gradually softened, Yan Gui City is a good place, if it were gifted to His Highness, I wonder if His Highness would like it.

The day he left, he didn’t see His Highness, felt a bit aggrieved.

It would be nice if His Highness could hug him when he returned.

…

On the fourth day of Shen Jingxian’s practice of boxing, she realized an important truth despite not gaining much physical fitness.

She can no longer trust the maid’s praises!

In the maids’ mouths, she was as strong as a mountain and unparalleled in the world, a martial arts prodigy!

But she knew that she was just a soft puncher, with unstable footing—a total rookie!

The current Hidden Guard is not honest enough.

Thus, Shen Jingxian began to ponder if there’s any weapon she could quickly master.

She didn’t want to consider swords; she feared accidentally slicing herself with such long swords.

“Does Your Highness want to try hidden weapons?”

Hidden weapons!

Shen Jingxian’s eyes sparkled!

Seeing this, Xiao Qi immediately understood the princess’s desire and straightforwardly took off the sleeve arrow from his hand and put it on the princess.

“If Your Highness encounters a crook approaching you, press here, and the sleeve arrow will shoot out. The arrow is poisoned, once it draws blood, the poison will act.”

Shen Jingxian curiously asked, “What symptoms does the poison cause?”

Bleeding from seven orifices maybe?

Xiao Qi pondered seriously, then answered, “Collapse.”

Everyone: …

Shen Jingxian nodded, “Uh-huh, collapse, and then?”

Xiao Qi shook his head, “Nothing more, just collapse.”

Then Xiao Qi added, “If you find you’ve hit the wrong person, open this part of the sleeve arrow, the antidote is here.”

Shen Jingxian nodded, this hidden weapon’s design is quite user-friendly.

Other maids were puzzled, why do their hidden weapons not have antidote pills… Oh! Remembered, they usually don’t hit the wrong person, but Xiao Qi frequently misidentifies targets, so if he’s found he hit the wrong one, Xiao Qi would feed them an antidote pill.

Speaking of which, the princess was so happy holding the hidden weapon; they wanted to gift the princess hidden weapons too!

Yet heard Shen Jingxian’s excited voice, “This is great! Then I’m not afraid of hitting the wrong person!”

The maids retracted their outstretched hands, if the princess also tended to hit the wrong target, then better to use Xiao Qi’s hidden weapon.
