Chapter 1481: Chapter 1482: Husband, Take the Chance Now...
Emperor of Chilin no longer cared what Linghe had to say, and harshly reprimanded the guards, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and play her to death! What, do you need me to undress for you?"
The guards, left with no choice, reluctantly put down their swords and knives and slowly approached Linghe.
Seeing the guards’ hesitance, the Emperor of Chilin reprimanded again, "If you keep stalling like this, I will castrate you first, then kill you to make an example!"
The guards, upon hearing this, quickly stripped off their clothes to play with Linghe.
"No... No..." Linghe retreated in terror, but ultimately she had nowhere left to flee.
The Emperor of Chilin watched from the side, strangely satisfied at seeing Linghe being toyed with by so many.
Once Linghe was truly played to death, the Emperor of Chilin first had her body discarded in the wilderness, then ordered the death of his three-year-old simpleton son.
Although his son was simple-minded, he was still his child. The Emperor of Chilin still arranged for a coffin for his foolish son and buried him in the imperial mausoleum with the status of a Prince.
Due to the loss of a million soldiers, the Emperor of Chilin ignored the opposition from his ministers and forcibly conscripted again. This time, every household had to send twelve-year-old boys with no physical disabilities to join the military.
Moreover, because the national treasury didn’t have enough military pay to supply the military camps for war, the Emperor of Chilin imposed heavier taxes.
From then on, not only were the people of Chilin in turmoil, but distress echoed everywhere.
...
An Jing and Ye Zhi had prepared the explosives and planned to blow up ten major mountains of the Chilin Kingdom.
To convince others it was an act of heaven, the mission to blow up the mountains was still known only to An Jing, Ye Zhi, and Xiao Changyi.
Xiao Changyi, as the Great General against the Chilin, was the supreme commander and had to oversee the military. He couldn’t personally handle the mountain mission, so he had to let An Jing and Ye Zhi take care of it.
Originally, An Jing and Ye Zhi planned to split up and blow up the mountains, thinking it would be quicker. But considering they’d have each other for support, and Xiao Changyi could be a bit more reassured, An Jing and Ye Zhi decided to act together.
Xiao Changyi already had someone draw a map of Chilin for An Jing, so when the time came, she only needed to follow the map to locate the mountains.
When An Jing and Ye Zhi prepared all the items they needed to bring, it was already dark, so they had to wait until the next morning to set off.
That night, Xiao Changyi held An Jing tightly, unable to sleep.
Because he was worried.
An Jing looked at Xiao Changyi’s worried expression and laughed, comforting him, "Husband, rest assured, I won’t be in danger. I don’t need to infiltrate the cities; I’ll traverse through the wilderness."
"The wilderness is even less safe."
"Ye Zhi and I won’t head deep into the mountains, even if there’s danger, it won’t be too serious. Don’t worry, Ye Zhi has a gun, and we’ve plenty of bullets. Even if we encounter wild beasts, we’re not afraid."
Xiao Changyi felt a bit more at ease, but his heart was not entirely calmed.
An Jing raised her hand, smoothing the wrinkles on his forehead, and smiled softly, "Husband, when I go, I might be back in one or two months at the shortest, three to four months at the longest. You have to think of me."
"When am I not thinking of you?" After a pause, "I will think of you."
"Mm-hmm," An Jing smiled sweetly, "I will think of you too."
Xiao Changyi did not smile, but he held her tighter.
"Husband, we won’t see each other for so long, how about we kiss a few more times now?"
Xiao Changyi immediately lowered his head and kissed An Jing on the lips. Once both were slightly out of breath, he murmured, "We previously agreed, neither of us will leave the other..."
