Chapter 771
Who could forget how his most incompetent son was greatly shocked by the royal power shift ten years ago, turning into someone who killed without blinking? From a wimp everyone could bully, into a character everyone in the empire feared?
Faced with his son’s transformation, Gui Daocheng did not know whether to be relieved or indeed, rather relieved?
After all, his son had become more and more capable over the years. Wherever there was a war, his son was there. A handful of the vassal states, emboldened by the absence of a king in the Empire, had become increasingly threatening. Yet they were all subdued by his son’s troops, who almost never lost a battle.
Now, with a million soldiers under his command who all treat him like a faith, his son was indeed bringing honor to our Gui family!
Just as Gui Daocheng was pondering this, he suddenly heard his son Gui Baili say: “Third Elder, I give you a minute to remove these followers, or else, in one minute, you can prepare to collect their corpses.”
After speaking, he gave another order to the cockpit: “In one minute, if they haven’t withdrawn, wipe them all out!”
“Yes, Young Master Gui.” The person sitting in the cockpit is Gui Baili’s deputy general.
Gui Baili always chose subordinates who shared his temperament. They always seriously carried out his words, treating them like an imperial decree. This was known not only to the Fifth Elder but also to Geshu Tang.
Seeing Geshu Tang’s grim face, Ye Xingguang barely held back laughter. She said, giving face to Geshu Tang, “Hey little third, just let people retreat, they are all my subjects, I don’t want to see them turned into meat sauce by a missile and fed to the fishes. Don’t worry, I definitely won’t run away. My two friends are still in the palace, how could I abandon them and leave?”
Having said this, Ye Xingguang slipped her hand across the virtual screen, immediately cutting off the video call!
“Gui Baili, I am impressed by your title as Young Marshal.” Ye Xingguang’s lips turned up slightly, revealing a trace of a relaxed smile. “In the Empire, I don’t have anyone I can depend on. From now on, I can only rely on you, you know?”
Gui Baili frowned seriously, his expression terribly solemn. “I will not be your bed warmer.”
Pft…hahaha!
What a violent honest man he is! So adorable! He really took it seriously?
Ye Xingguang reached out to pat his back and braced herself: “I’m just joking, I only like my Big Poisonous Tumor.”
“Who’s Big Poisonous Tumor?” Gui Baili sighed in relief.noveldrama
“It’s my man Ye Junqing.”
Ye Xingguang sat back on the couch and sighed. “If only there were more loyal people like you in the Empire. Otherwise, look at me, being restrained even when I step out. I feel like a puppet, no, a prisoner!”
The aide who brought tea for the two heard Ye Xingguang’s words, and couldn’t control his voice. “Your Highness, our Young Marshal alone is enough to be worth a thousand army. The Young Marshal always tells us, ‘To be invincible, one must have a ruthless heart.’ This is the great truth that you taught him and it has become our Ghost Army’s motto on the sea!”
Ha ha! Ye Xingguang couldn’t help but feel a bit proud. Who would have thought that the motto of the Empire’s army would actually be her words?
Ye Xingguang was too embarrassed to say that, at that time, she had been so cowardly and with her mind blown by the death of “Qin Junye”, that she turned her grief and anger into strength, forcing herself to be ruthless, or else she would have died.
