Drunken Exquisiteness

Part 2 - Vast Sand West Wind in Northern Desert

A sharp cold air appeared from the corner of Yetian Ling"s lips: “You knew but did not report, helping Chi Rong to leave the military camp smoothly, causing the main troops to delay the right moment for battle, what crime do you think you have committed!”

Qui Pingyi was stunned, then raised his head to look at the few princes .

Yetian Xi looked serious . Shiyi smiled teasingly . Yetian Ling looked expressionless, but his eyes were as sharp as the tip of a knife, stabbing his lungs, causing him to tremble in surprise then quickly lowered his head .

“Fifth brother, what is the military procedure for this issue?” Yetian Ling turned his head asking .
Yetian Xi looked at Qiu Pingyi who had his head on the floor, said: “The punishment of a traitor is beheading his family up to nine relations . For those who conceal, hide and know but did not report, and other crimes similar to this will also be beheading but without affecting his relatives . ” He said that very slowly, each word was incomparably clear .

“Qiu Pingyi, do you understand?” Yetian Ling said slowly .

The arteries on Qiu Pingyi"s hand that was holding his sword were protruding, then he suddenly bend forward in respect: “This general understand, but hope that Your Highness can pardon my family . I will be filled with endless grat.i.tude!” After his sentence, he pulled out his sword from the scabbard, and sliced his neck before anyone could react . Fresh blood splattered within the tent .

n.o.body expected this outcome, the rest of the generals were surprised, while Shiyi was paused with one step forward planning to stop him, but he was still too late .

Yetian Ling looked at QIu Pingyi"s corpse in front of him, a raging waves quickly rose deep in his eyes, but turned into deep black when reaching the corner of his eyes, only his brows very slightly knitted without any trace, quietly said: “Command for all generals, return to your tent and re-organise your team, then we leave immediately to attack Wu Xu river!”

The generals left the tent after receiving their command . Shortly after, someone entered to take away Qiu Pingyi"s corpse .

Yetian Xi sighed after looking at the pool of blood on the floor: “Luckily, fourth brother was the one leading the front line . Not only you"re safe but was able to defeat Prince Gu Lan . Not being able to pick up with our plan, I was so worried . What is the plan for the remaining battles?”

“Prince Gu Lan withdrew to Ye Sha city after his defeat with a plan to wait for supporting troops from Prince Xiu Xie . We must destroy Prince Xiu Xie"s troops at Wu Xu river . ” Yetian Ling said: “We are winning this battle with the word "fast" . ”

Yetian Xi said: “Now that the main troops has gathered, they are not our opponents if we chase and destroy them . ”

Yet, he saw that Yetian Ling expression changed, while holding he left chest . Shiyi was the first to help him up: “Fourth brother!”

Yetian Xi asked in surprise: “Is fourth brother hurt?”

Shiyi knitted his brows, simply said: “There was a sneak attack . ”

“How is your injury?” Yetian Xi asked anxiously: “Quickly summon the medic . ”

Yetian Ling slightly closed his eyes, holding in the metallic taste in his throat, saying: “Not necessary, no need to make this matter known . There is definitely someone in our rank to gives out information to Turk . Otherwise, it would be impossible to be so clear with each of our movements . ” Coldness appeared in his eyes . Not only clear, they even know that him and Shiyi left the troops incognito . They are obviously very smart .

Yetian Xi hit the table with a "peng" sound: “It is really disgusting for Chi Rong to join the Turk . It is obvious that foreign clans can"t be trusted!” Then felt that what he said was not suitable in this situation . Yetian Ling"s birth mother, Consort Lian, was previously a Rouran"s princess . The two words "foreign clan" cannot be used easily . He saluted to Yetian Ling: “Fourth brother……I"m sorry, I didn"t mean anything……”

As though he did not understand the underlying meaning, Yetian Ling raised his hand saying: “The most important duty is the incoming battle . ”

“But your injury?” Yetian Xi said in slight hesitation .

“Not a problem . ” Yetian Ling simply said .

Yetian Xi nodded and said: “Eleventh brother, please stay with fourth brother to rest . I will go to supervise the troops, then we leave as soon as possible . ”

“I"ll have to trouble fifth younger brother . "

After Yetian Xi left the tent, Yetian Ling closed his eyes while adjusting his breathing, followed with this action, the pain in his chest slowly dispersed .

A short while later, he looked at the leftover traces of blood on the floor . With Qiu Pingyi"s action of suicide to acknowledge his crime, Chi Rong is set with a crime of joining the enemy . This is definitely out of expectation, yet causes people unable to doubt him .

Shiyi was thinking for a while next time, then suddenly said: “Fourth brother, this thing is strange . Even if Chi Rong has betrayed us and joined West Turk, the people who were after us that day did not look like they were from She Hu"s troop . ”

“That"s right, they looked more like the sub-division of Turk"s Shi Luo . ” Yetian Ling stood up . King Shi Luo brought his princess entering Tian Chao to see the Emperor to show that they will not collaborate with West Turk, but it looks like they cannot stand being alone . “Let"s go . Pa.s.s on my command, bring back Chi Rong alive or dead . ” He said coldly, when left the tent with Shiyi .
