Chapter 1618: Despicable!
Translator: Lonelytree
Listening to the threat from Lin Yuelan’s mouth, Xiao Jingrui frowned. He obviously didn’t expect that this matter would turn out like this.
According to his plan, neither Jiang Zhennan nor Lin Yuelan would ignore these villagers. Therefore, they would agree to his conditions no matter what.
He was determined to get the metal detector!
With this thing, his entire country would be rich.
With money, the army would become stronger. With iron, they could forge more weapons.
His eyes were not only fixed on the Black Clouds Country but the entire world!
He wanted to become the emperor who unified the world!
At this moment, even though he was threatened by Lin Yuelan, Xiao Jingrui didn’t look nervous.
He smiled and said,” If you don’t know how to use this thing, it’s just a piece of trash in your hands! If the princess of Guguo wanted to destroy it, then so be it. However,”
He changed the topic and swept his sharp gaze across the hundreds of villagers who were being restrained. There was no pity in his eyes. Instead, he said in an extremely ruthless manner,” Once you destroy that thing, these people’s lives will be buried with you! Princess Guguo, what do you think?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand. The knives in the hands of the soldiers who were holding the civilians were stuck in the throats of the civilians. Some of them had even been cut by the sharp blades with traces of blood.
So ruthless!
Even Liu Yichen had to admire Xiao Jingrui’s ruthless means. If he couldn’t get it, he would destroy it.
Since he wanted to obtain it, he would use all means!
In this aspect, Jiang Zhennan was no match for him.
They were only evenly matched on the military battlefield, but when it came to methods outside the battlefield, Jiang Zhennan, with his upright personality, was really inferior!
As soon as Xiao Jingrui’s words fell, those people who were far away couldn’t hear what they said because they didn’t have internal energy. However, Xiao
Jingrui deliberately let them hear some of his words, so he used some internal encl by .
For example, he purposely called out Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan’s names.
Therefore, whether it was the hostages or their families, they all knew their identities. One was the Defender General, and the other was the Princess of Guguo.
In an instant, many villagers kowtowed to Lin Yuelan and the others.”
General, Princess Gu, please save us!”
“Great General, Princess Guguo, please save our leader.”
“Save my son!”
The sounds of people begging to save people rang out in this empty space, making it seem very noisy.
Liu Yichen heard this and hated Xiao Jingrui in his heart. However, he looked at Lin Yuelan worriedly.
Based on his understanding of Lin Yuelan, she could ignore these commoners.
But now, she was the princess of the Guguo, and her fiancé was a general of the country. Their duty and right were to protect these ordinary people. If she just watched the villagers get killed, she would not be able to get over it.
However, the thing in her hands was so important.
If Xiao Jingrui really got it and knew how to use it, it would be like giving him more power.
In time, Xiao Jingrui might really lead his troops to attack the imperial city of Longyan Country, occupy Longyan Country, and even dominate the entire world.
Therefore, regardless of whether it was private or public, this thing should not be given to Xiao Jingrui.
But the problem now was that they knew about the big situation, but the villagers who were kneeling did not.
What they knew was that they felt that a great disaster was imminent and that they were in despair. Their only life-saving straw now was Jiang Zhennan, the Great General, and Princess Guguo,
“Great General, Princess, I beg you, please save my child. He is only three years old!”
Lin Yuelan, Jiang Zhennan, and Liu Yichen looked over and saw a three-year-old child being held by a man in black. He was forced to kneel on the ground, and his head was pressed to the ground by the black man. A sharp, glinting sabre was placed on his neck.
Jiang Zhennan was the most angry when he saw this. He gritted his teeth and said coldly,” Xiao Jingrui, you’re so despicable! He’s only a three-year-old child. How can you treat a child like this? Has your conscience been eaten?” Xiao Jingrui smiled and said with a self-deprecating smile,” Hehe, conscience? It was really funny. A great general of the Longyan Kingdom who had killed countless people on the battlefield was actually talking about the conscience with this prince. This is really a big joke.. Haha…”
