Chapter 408: Going to Miaojiang
Xuan Ling was slapped to the ground heavily. He could feel his internal energy slowly dissipating.
The King of Beirong sat on a high place. Even though he was exhausted, the imperial power on him was still inviolable: "Xuan Ling, you still don't want to tell me now?"
The man who attacked Xuan Ling was the deputy commander of the Jinwu Guard. He was middle-aged and originally thought that he could firmly hold the position of commander of the Jinwu Guard, but he did not expect Xuan Ling to suddenly appear and he could only be relegated to the position of deputy commander.
Now that we have the opportunity, of course we will take advantage of the situation.
With three palms, he destroyed Xuan Ling's internal strength.
If you are unfaithful once, you will be useless for the rest of your life. Anyway, it is impossible for the King of Beirong to use Xuan Ling again.
Rong Zhang didn't think it was a big enough matter, and he fanned the flames: "Father, it was wrong for me to steal the military token. I did it to catch Su Chenyu. It was because Xuan Ling insisted that I return immediately that night that I let the tiger go back to the mountain."
Xuan Ling remained silent. He did have selfish motives at the time, but he was also just following orders.
King Beirong stared at Xuan Ling and said, "Xuan Ling, why did you let Su Chenyu and her group go?"
Xuan Ling knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I am only following your orders."
Seeing Xuan Ling was so stubborn, the King of Beirong waved his hand and said, "Drag him away and kill him."
The Jinwu Guards must be absolutely loyal to him. He regarded Xuan Ling as the sharpest weapon in his hand, but Xuan Ling actually had selfish motives, which was something that King Beirong could not tolerate.
After Xuan Ling was taken away by the deputy commander, the King of Beirong looked at Rong Zhang and said, "I can forgive you for this incident, but next time, if you do something like this again, don't blame me for being cruel."
"Yes." Rong Zhang knew that the matter was over.
"And as for that town, do you know what to do with it?"
"I will make that town disappear forever."
In order to cover up the crime of massacre, Rong Zhang must burn down the entire town.
The deputy commander pretended to obey the order but actually disobeyed it and did not kill Xuan Ling. It was not out of kindness, but because he felt that killing Xuan Ling directly would be too easy for him.
The deputy first crippled Xuan Ling's weapons, then cut off all his tendons and veins, and threw the dying Xuan Ling into the wilderness. He wanted Xuan Ling to consciously feel his life slipping away bit by bit, and the fear of facing death was what Xuan Ling should endure.
The deputy commander threw Xuan Ling into the wilderness. Snowflakes began to float from the sky and soon accumulated into a layer. Watching Xuan Ling being slowly covered by the snow, the deputy commander felt pleased and walked away.
When the snow almost buried Xuan Ling completely, Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing appeared. They brought Xuan Ling, who was still breathing his last breath, onto the carriage.
Just after settling Xuan Ling, Su Chenyu saw a fire through the window of the carriage. Which direction was that?
Su Chenyu narrowed her eyes. It was the place where the town was located.
"Yan Qing, we can't let those townspeople die in vain."
"What do you want to do?"
"Doesn't Rong Zhang like to set fires? Then let's set him on fire too."
…
When Rong Zhang set fire to the town, the camp also caught fire. The fire was fierce, and with the help of the wind, it quickly spread to the entire camp.
