ATSWM Chapter 17.4

Chapter 17.4 Slip Of Tongue And Misconduct

　　There’s even a sobbing sound in the voice.

　　The piercing howl of the underworld demons broke through the jade token, so King Sang couldn’t not believe it.

　　”You Wuming.” Sang Yuanyuan called.

　　He flew behind her, still looking as indifferent as before.

　　”Didn’t you say that Royal Uncle and my cousins are Han Shaoling’s men?” Sang Yuanyuan asked, “His men, but why do they want to kill him?”

　　You Wuming blinked innocently and shrugged: “You ask me, who do I ask?”

　　He raised his hand and tapped his forefinger on the side of his forehead: “Maybe there’s something wrong with their heads?”

　　Sang Yuanyuan also knew that this was not the time to fuss over this. She took a breath and said, “Shrink the defense. After a day and a half, my father will definitely come to help.”

　　March at the fastest speed, from the Sang border to the western border of Han state, will also take one and a half days.

　　”Little Mulberry,” the fake smile on You Wuming’s face faded, “Why should I put my head in your hand?”

　　On the other side, Han Shaoling’s forces have moved. They moved slowly to the north, intending to enter through the northern gate a hundred li[1] away.

　　In the overwhelming tide of the underworld demons, the army was struggling like they had sunk into a swamp. 

　　Marching will expose a great deal of flaws. In the blink of an eye, countless soldiers have been knocked down by the underworld demons.

　　Sang Yuanyuan could foresee the next tragic scene——when the ‘Tail Roar’ strikes, the casualties of the army will be even more severe. The troops that are almost completely wiped out, after all the trouble, have finally moved to the next gate, but what awaits them is the reapers who take time to wait for them.

　　Since King Sang’s younger brother has rebelled, he will definitely not have any scruples. He will lead the troops, leisurely following the prey that is fleeing in desperation from above the wall, waiting for them to enter the range and give them a fatal blow.

　　This is the case in the book. However, the accusation was put on the head of King Sang in the end.

　　You Wuming stared at Sang Yuanyuan with a pair of dark eyes. His stares made her have goosebumps all over.

　　Finally, he said leisurely : “Running away with their tail between their legs, Han Shaoling was able to do it, but I can’t. Then go to the wall and defend. “

　　Sang Yuanyuan’s heart was both happy and heavy.

　　Happy that he is willing to believe her, heavy that she is not sure whether they can safely survive a day and a half.

　　If they flee, there is still a chance of survival. But if they stayed, if there is something wrong with King Sang, or the defense line is broken, then they will surely die.

　　”It’s fine. It’s fine.” he grabbed her shoulder affectionately, and his voice was brisk. “If something really happened, I’ll kill you as the sacrificial flag before leaving. Little Mulberry’s blood is so fragrant that after I offered the sacrificial flag, I will definitely gain a complete victory. “

　　Sang Yuanyuan ：“……”

　　She believed that. If they really couldn’t hold it anymore, this man would definitely kill her with his own hands and never let her die in the hands of something else.

         Incidentally offered a sacrificial flag, as if he is not wasteful at all.
