Chapter 142: Saving the Crazy Mistress in Sheep's Clothing
Song Yizhi panicked when he saw Ling Han aiming his arrow at his leg. He said hastily, "Wait! Whatever the princess promised you, my Song family will give you three times as much!"
After hearing this, Ling Han narrowed his eyes and chuckled softly, "You can't afford what I want. After all, there aren't three Wen Yangs in this world."
As soon as he finished speaking, the third arrow flew straight towards Song Yizi's left leg, piercing through it.
Song Yizi let out an uncontrollable scream, his face turned pale with pain and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
It was also at this time that Song Yizi realized from Ling Han's words Ling Han's feelings for Wen Yang. It was not just the feelings of a guard for a princess, but the love between a man and a woman!
Moreover, Ling Han clearly had no intention of letting him go...
Seeing Ling Han raise his bow again and aim it at his right leg, Song Yizhi cursed in despair, "You were once just a lowly concubine, and now you're just an ordinary guard. Do you think that by serving Wen Yang like this, he'll become yours? Don't dream! You'll always be a male concubine who's not worthy of being seen in public!"
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Ling Han paused holding the bow.
Song Yizhi seemed unsatisfied, and continued to curse: "Even if Wen Yang went to Jiang Kingdom, she would only become the plaything of the Jiang Kingdom's emperor. What can you, the Ling Kingdom and the former guards, do then?! You can only watch her become someone else's woman! Hahahahaha..."
Song Yizi's laughter echoed in the woods.
When Ling Han's subordinates heard this, their faces changed instantly. They didn't expect that someone would dare to provoke their master like this... Everyone subconsciously raised their eyes to look at Ling Han, wanting to see what expression their master had now.
However, Ling Han's expression at this moment was surprisingly calm. He put down the bow in his hand, quickly approached Song Yizi, and then raised his leg and kicked Song Yizi's head with lightning speed.
In an instant, Song Yizi's laughter stopped abruptly.
The sudden heavy blow made his head buzzing, and even his cervical vertebrae seemed to make a "crack" sound. The severe pain made his neck unable to return to its original position for a long time.
However, before Song Yizhi could recover from the severe pain, Ling Han coldly ordered his subordinates beside him, "Bring the knife."
The accompanying subordinates did not dare to delay and immediately handed a sharp dagger to Ling Han.
After Ling Han took it, he walked to Song Yizi and squatted down. He stretched out a hand and grabbed Song Yizi's chin tightly. Song Yizi's mouth was controlled by this force and opened involuntarily.
Ling Han raised the dagger with his other hand and slashed it hard in Song Yizi's mouth. In an instant, Song Yizi's tongue was split in half.
Song Yizhi couldn't even scream at this moment. He was even nailed to the tree, unable to move. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, dripping down his chin, staining the soil beneath him red...
This was not the end yet. Immediately afterwards, the dagger in Ling Han's hand flashed, and Song Yizi felt a tearing pain in his wrists and ankles.
Ling Han actually severed the tendons in his hands and feet.
But now Song Yizhi's tongue had been split in two, and he couldn't scream out loud. He could only make an unformed whimper from his throat...
Moreover, the tendons and veins in his limbs were all broken, and Song Yizhi had completely lost his strength. He was like a puppet with its strings cut, paralyzed there, without any ability to resist...
At that moment, Song Yizhi truly experienced what despair was, and a deep regret welled up in his heart. If he had known this would happen, he would have been caught by the Iron Eagle Guards just now, at least he wouldn't have ended up in such a tragic end. Now, even if he wanted to end his own life, he couldn't do it...
After cutting the tendons in Song Yizi's hands and feet, Ling Han looked at Song Yizi with a cold gaze, as if he was looking at a dead person.
After all, Song Yizi now has nothing left except his eyesight and hearing. He cannot speak, nor can he convey any information through writing. He has become a complete useless person!
Ling Han handed the dagger stained with Song Yizhi's blood back to his subordinate standing beside him. He stood up, looked down at Song Yizhi, and spoke slowly, "Let me tell you a secret. I'm not a guard of the Ling Kingdom, nor am I from the Ling Kingdom. I'm the fourth prince of the Jiang Kingdom."
Song Yizhi's pupils suddenly constricted upon hearing this. Ling Han was actually the Fourth Prince of Jiang State!? He remembered that the Fourth Prince of Jiang State was supposed to be under house arrest in the Honglu Temple of Ling State. How could such a person become a concubine in the Wenyang Mansion? However, he never had the chance to ask these questions aloud.
Because at this moment Ling Han picked up the longbow again, he put an arrow on it, and this time, he aimed at Song Yizi's heart.
Before Song Yizhi could react, the silver-white arrow streaked across the night sky like a meteor. The next second, it pierced Song Yizhi's chest, splashing blood as it sank into his flesh. Song Yizhi's body suddenly stiffened, and then he collapsed, losing his life forever...
Seeing that the man nailed to the tree was no longer breathing, Ling Han's subordinates asked respectfully, "Master, what should we do with this body?"
Ling Han glanced at it and said calmly and indifferently, "Just leave it here, don't worry about it."
Song Yizi's body will sooner or later be discovered by the guards around Wen Yang. He believes that Wen Yang will have his own judgment on how to deal with it when the time comes.
"Let's go, those people should be here soon." After saying that, Ling Han and his subordinates quietly disappeared into the night again, leaving behind only Song Yizhi's body nailed to the tree...
......
It was half an incense stick of time later when Luo An and a small team of Iron Eagle Guards arrived here after searching. As soon as he approached the woods, he smelled a strong smell of blood.
Luo An's brows furrowed unconsciously. He quickly reached out to stop his subordinates who were following closely behind him and said in a low voice, "Be careful, there's a strong smell of blood here, I'm afraid there's something fishy going on."
Upon hearing this, the Iron Eagle Guards nodded, exchanged glances with each other, and walked more lightly.
Luo An gripped the spear tightly in his hand, and his sharp eyes vigilantly scanned every shadow in front of him before he moved forward cautiously again.
Suddenly, when passing by a patch of grass, he stepped on something hard. Luo An stopped immediately and whispered to his subordinate holding a torch, "Go forward and light up this place."
Upon hearing this, the subordinate immediately stepped forward and extended the torch towards the ground under Luo An's feet.
The flickering flames dispelled the darkness, and Luo An could see the scene clearly. What he had just kicked was actually a corpse.
The corpse looked horrible, like a hedgehog with arrows piercing its body. Blood was gushing out of it, staining the surrounding grass dark red.
Luo An secretly sighed in his heart, no wonder the bloody smell here is so strong...
After carefully looking around and confirming that there were no unusual noises, Luo An relaxed his guard a little.
He squatted down and carefully examined the clothes on the body lying on the ground, only to find that the nightgown worn by the body was exactly the same as those worn by several assassins captured by the Iron Eagle Guards before.
A question suddenly popped up in his mind: Who killed these people? Could it be that besides them and the assassins, there was an unknown third party?
