Chapter 264: The First Time Stabbing a Living Person

Ye Linghan's face became increasingly gloomy, his dark eyes staring deeply at Su Xing, as if he wanted to see into Su Xing's soul.

After a while, he asked word by word: "Su Xing, is the only thing on your mind that concerns the life and death of others?"

What about him? Just don't care about his life or death?

You keep saying you like him, but at the critical moment you value others more?

Did this damn guy ever think about what he would do if he died?

Su Xing's whole body trembled, and his red eyes trembled violently.

"No..." He couldn't help choking up: "It's not like that..."

His heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. Ye Linghan's questioning was like a knife stabbing his heart.

Of course, he cares about Ye Linghan the most. For Ye Linghan, he can even give his life.

But he couldn't let Ye Linghan kill innocent people for his own sake, he couldn't do it!

What should he do? What should he do?

Why did they have to go through so much?

They were about to get married, but then this kind of thing happened... Why is he so unlucky?

Su Xing lowered his head in pain, shaking it left and right. If he hadn't been held hostage by Wu Huan, he probably wouldn't have been able to stand.

At this moment, Wu Xiao's voice suddenly came: "Let my father go, I will commit suicide!"

Before everyone could be shocked, the Emperor of Wu exclaimed: "No!"

"Father!" Wu Xiao knelt on his knees and explained: "My life was saved by Master Su. Now that Master Su is in trouble, I should repay you."

The Emperor of Wu was unaware of the secret between Wu Xiao and Su Xing, and was stunned when he heard this.

After a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind and turned his head with a serious expression: "Wu Huan, let your brother go, and I can give you my life!"

This statement immediately caused an uproar, and the soldiers of Wu State all fell to their knees and shouted that it was not allowed.

Wu Huan seemed shocked as well and was silent for a moment.

After a moment, he suddenly laughed out loud towards the sky. His laughter was extremely creepy because it was filled with deep hatred.

After a while, he suddenly stopped laughing, and when he looked at the Emperor of Wu again, his eyes were red and filled with tears: "Father, you have always been partial, you only like him and not me!"

"It's your fault that we are like this! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have thought of fighting. This is all your fault!"

Wu Huan became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice became sharp and piercing at the end, but he soon calmed down again.

He looked at the carriage with hatred, his expression twisted, and his voice was as shrill as a ghost: "You want me to let him go? Don't even think about it! You all have to die!"

After saying that, he looked at Ye Linghan again: "Prince Regent, if you want to save your future princess, act quickly, otherwise I will regret it!"

Ye Linghan withdrew his gaze from Su Xing, exchanged a quick glance with Wu Huan, and then turned around quickly.

At this moment, Su Xing's hand suddenly retracted into his sleeve. At the moment when everyone's attention was attracted by Ye Linghan, the hand he retracted into his sleeve suddenly attacked Wu Huan's abdomen.

There was a "Puff!" sound, and everyone was stunned. Just as they were about to turn their heads to follow the sound, they heard a scream: "Ah..."

The next moment, Ye Linghan suddenly turned around and disappeared from the spot like lightning.

When everyone came to their senses, Su Xing had already been held in Ye Linghan's arms, while Wu Huan bent over in pain, holding his abdomen and about to fall to the ground.

What's going on! What happened!

Under the gaze of everyone, Su Xing slowly raised the knife in his hand that was still dripping with blood. It was the one he had used to hold Wu Huan hostage before.

This was the first time he stabbed a living person with a knife, and he suffered a great shock both psychologically and physically.

The sound of the knife piercing his skin still echoed in his ears, as if it was branded into his ears.

Ye Linghan noticed Su Xing's abnormality, and immediately took the knife away and threw it away, then pressed his head against his chest and said forcefully: "Don't think too much, it's not your fault."

Su Xing didn't hear clearly what Ye Linghan said, he just hugged Ye Linghan instinctively, as if he wanted to hide himself in Ye Linghan's body.

Because only by doing so can he ease the panic in his heart and prevent himself from losing control.

Tianyi rushed to Wu Huan as soon as the accident happened. He picked up Wu Huan angrily and threw him aside regardless of his wails of pain. Then he stood in front of Ye Linghan and Su Xing, looking around vigilantly.

General Wang did not wait for the Emperor of Wu to give another order. He went straight forward and grabbed Wu Huan. He looked in the direction of the carriage and asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do with you?"

The Emperor of Wu and Wu Xiao had already recovered from the upheaval just now. Seeing this, they immediately frowned and shouted majestically: "Throw him into the death row first, and then punish him severely after all his crimes are investigated!"

It was unclear whether Wu Huan had fainted from the pain or had accepted his fate. He did not resist anymore and kept his head down without saying a word.

General Wang ordered his men to send Wu Huan away, then ran to the carriage and said, "Your Majesty, I will take you back to the palace."

The Emperor of Wu raised his hand and motioned for him to wait.

"Regent." The Emperor of Wu looked at Ye Linghan who was still holding Su Xing tightly and said, "This time, it is all thanks to you. I owe you a big favor. I will order the troops to withdraw now."

Su Xing had recovered and immediately let go of Ye Linghan upon hearing this.

He knew that Ye Linghan had something important to discuss, and his current behavior was really ridiculous.

But Ye Linghan did not let go, he just turned around and looked at the Emperor of Wu coldly: "The grudge between Wu and Ye is probably not as simple as withdrawing the troops."

The Emperor of Wu's face froze for a moment before he spoke again: "Although I was not aware of the fact that Wu Huan and Marquis Mu Yuan secretly colluded to send troops to Ye Kingdom, I cannot escape blame."

"Also, this time, both I and the Crown Prince have received favors from the Regent, which is indeed a great favor." The Emperor of Wu said as he pondered for a long time, and suddenly gritted his teeth: "If the Regent has any requests, please feel free to ask, as long as I can do it, I will definitely fulfill it."

Everyone in the Wu State knew the significance of these words and couldn't help but show expressions of panic.

Because they all knew how terrifying Ye Linghan was. If he asked for too much...

Although Su Xing felt that the old emperor was somewhat pitiful, he dared not speak a word at this time, otherwise Ye Linghan would really be pissed off to death by him.

But he still couldn't help but raise his head and secretly glance at Ye Linghan.

Ye Linghan seemed to be negotiating with the old emperor, but most of his attention was on the person in his arms.

Su Xing's every move did not escape his sight. He immediately lowered his eyes and looked at Su Xing.

Su Xing was scared to death, like a mouse seeing a cat. He quickly lowered his eyes and buried his head in Ye Linghan's arms, wishing he could get his whole body inside.

Ye Linghan was so angry at Su Xing's useless look of wanting to be a good person but afraid of being scolded by him that his handsome face sank. He stared at the black head for a long time before looking at the Emperor of Wu again. His thin lips moved slightly...
