Sacrifice the Knight... to Save the King?

"Hehe, you've planned this well!"

She did not want to go along with Qian Jiyun's plan. She wished she could stab herself with a knife, but she did not dare to.

The fear of death alone was enough to make her wish she was dead. She probably did not even have the courage to pick up a knife.

She wanted to live. She wanted to continue living and kill everyone who bullied her.

Hence, she hoped that person would send someone to save her on account of all that she had done for him.

Although the chances were slim, she still had hope.

Unfortunately, two days later, just before Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue rushed back to the military camp, Xue Ling was killed by the person backing her.

When Qian Jiyun heard the news, all he said was, "She deserves to die!"

"Deputy General Sun, did you tail after them?" An Jiuyue asked immediately.

"We did." Deputy General Sun nodded, but his expression was sour.
