1339. Little Dumpling Was So Scared (1)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad

"You can't run away. This is my place!"

After all, that was the ruler of a kingdom. Being held a hostage, he didn't seem to panic or what. At first, he had made up his mind to touch Ling Jingxuan and his son, but unexpectedly, Han Buba came out of nowhere and ruined his plan. However, it didn't matter. He seemed to care about that little fat boy very much, and if he captured him, he wouldn't believe that Yan Shengrui and Ling Jingxuan would not listen to his words.

"Qi Liancheng, don't you think you underestimate me?"

With a dangerous squint of his eyes, Ling Jingxuan turned his wrist and suddenly inserted the scalpel against his neck into his arm.

"Ah..."

Qi Liancheng reflexively cried out in pain, while Ling Jingxuan coldly drew the scalpel out, instantly the blood soaked his clothes, and then a suppressed cry of pain gently sounded.

"Your Majesty!"

The generals who were lying on the ground and unable to move shouted with all their might, and the imperial shadow guards surrounding them instantly narrowed their encirclement. Ling Jingxuan glared coldly and held the sharp tip of the scalpel tightly against Qi Liancheng's bleeding arm. There was no doubt that if they dare approach any closer, he would definitely stick it in. Things had come to this point, and none of them could be merciful to each other anymore.

"Stand, stand down!"

Enduring the sharp pain, Qi Liancheng's malevolent eyes swept over the imperial shadow guards. His body had been ruined by the invasion of toxins for years, and now it was even more fragmented. If they continued like this, he was absolutely convinced that Ling Jingxuan would poke holes in his body. It was all due to his carelessness. Due to the sudden disturbance outside, it gave them an opportunity to exploit!

"Got it!"

The imperial guards looked at each other and had to slowly back off. At the same time, Ling Jingxuan turned to look at his man. Yan Shengrui came forward tacitly. The crowd only heard a clicking sound, and Qi Liancheng's hand got twisted behind him. One hand holding his almost useless hand, Yan Shengrui grabbed his neck with the other. Ling Jingxuan then took out the silver needle that had been used to make him unable to move, and the scalpel was still tightly pressed against his neck. The couple held him hostage and moved step by step, and Sikong Cheng and Xue Wuyang also brought their people to move over. There was no need to care about whether they would find that they had already collaborated.

When Ling Jingxuan's scalpel was pressed against Qi Liancheng's neck, no, to be more precise, when Qi Liancheng touched Little Dumpling, the war had already begun.

"Where do you want to take His Majesty to?"

As they passed by those generals, General Chen threw his dagger eyes at Ling Jingxuan. If he had already wanted to kill him when showed disrespect to Han Buba's body, now he wanted to cut him into pieces. Their actions were tantamount to humiliating their Dong Kingdom!

"Wait until you can stand up before you care about it!"

Lowering his eyes to coldly look at him, Ling Jingxuan walked out with Yan Shengrui holding Qi Liancheng. The generals were so mad that they gritted their teeth. Qi Liancheng's shadow guards surrounded them tightly and waited for an opportunity to rescue their master.

The posthouse was very large. Ling Jingxuan and his companions lived in the east side. It was necessary to pass through several corridors from the main hall. It was inevitable that there would be some inconvenience in the night. As the gunfire got louder and louder, they seemed to have faintly heard the cries of the little Dumpling. Yan Shengrui and Ling Jingxuan were so anxious that they almost dragged Qi Liancheng, who was not cooperating, to the courtyard where they were at.
