The Swordsman of the Gods

050. The Killer Turns Out to be Yuze

Princess Yu Jie came and blocked the movement of the two people. Neither Yongchun nor the assassin spoke, they were both speechless and shocked at Yu Jie's whereabouts.

“What are you doing here, Princess? Get out of the way or he'll do something to you!”

“No!” yu Jie Screeched. A frightened face, unstable emotions because there were some things that disturbed him and worried about the actions he was currently doing, was clearly visible to Yongchun.

Since Yu Jie was in the way, then the caped killer took his chance by using Yu Jie as a hostage.

“I was expecting this to be like this. Yesterday, Wang Jiayi was targeted.”

“Mr Yongchun! I hope you'll leave us! This person ...this person is ..” Yu Jie hesitated to say something to her. So that his tongue was bitten accidentally when a dagger scratched his neck.

“What are you saying, Princess Yu Jie! Hey, you too! Quickly let go of him!”

“No! This man is my brother! Don't hurt him!” yu Jie scream.

In this kind of situation, Yu Jie still intended to deter Yongchun from attacking him. But after Yu Jie told him who the assassin was currently holding him hostage, Yongchun stepped forward without hesitation.

“No! Waitaminute! Sir!”

No matter what Yu Jie said, Yongchun continued to step forward and get him injured bit by bit. Not a hint of emotion was emanating from within him at the moment, so he easily slashed at the killer's back.

That way, the attempt to make Yu Jie a hostage ended even faster.

“Eh?”

Princess Yu Jie cried and the murderous blood splashed onto her face. Slowly turned his head and saw the black-clad body lying down with blood pooling.

“Thank God, Princess Yu Jie wasn't hurt any worse than this. Come with me,” said Yongchun reached out to him.

“What are you doing?! He's my brother!”

Yu Jie went berserk and he was incessantly crying because the killer who intended to hurt him was his brother.

“He's alive. Take it easy, Princess Yu Jie.”

Either because of the season or because of Yongchun himself. He looked cold today, not once did he have compassion for Yu Jie's brother, because he already knew how crazy he was.

***

In the room of Wang's main residence.

Princess Yu Jie and Yongchun were sitting in the same room as some of Wang's followers as well as Relia. Not long after, Nia and Bing He finally came as well.

“You what is he, brother?” ask Nia. Asked what Yongchun did to Yu Jie.

“I slashed at the back of the assassin who turned out to be her brother Yu Jie. The son of the present Emperor Ming. Even though Princess Yu Jie told me about it before but I still did,” Yongchun said without feeling guilty.

Everyone stared at Yongchun cynically. Including the followers of Wang. To think that this blind man was completely insane. Not only did it lift even attack the emperor's own son.

Yongchun was not a person from this region after all. Then they all knew who Yongchun really was. So why hide in the mask any longer, while soon the plan to overthrow the empire will be imminent.

“I'm sorry Princess Yu Jie. I attacked him because back then the Princess was injured because of him. So forgive me,” said Yongchun.

“Don't be pessimistic, Princess Yu Jie. He also came to kill me and you. I will not just be silent like a fool there,”, said Yongchun as he pointed at Wang's followers.

Princess Yu Jie looked at Yongchun's face, a radiant look like never before that looked cold.

“Before this, Bing He must have said what my message to you. Your choice will be the final determination of this region,” added Yongchun with a serious face.

“What do you mean?” asked Yu Jie.

Yongchun smiled faintly without looking at his face and then said, “Decision.”

It's really suspicious. Sometimes cold and sometimes like a plain person. Yongchun's mind is not easily guessed by many, which is why he is often referred to as a petty person.

The message in question was none other than a message for Princess Yu Jie. He asked if Yu Jie wanted to live or not, and Yu Jie's answer was clear that he wanted to live freely. Therefore, Yongchun always saved his life indirectly or directly as before.

Excluding Princess Yu Jie. Because other than him, the other imperial families including Emperor Ming would also definitely be the target of the rebels.

***

Yuze's life, that of Emperor Ming Guo's son, hasn't fully gone well since childhood.

Ming Fu, as the first emperor in the northeast region is reported to have died due to the age factor but that is not entirely true. Back when Guo, his son managed to seize the throne, Ming Fu was in a condition with a body full of wounds.

Guo was a child who was basically an evil character.

While Yuze himself, is a jolly child who needs the most affection he wasted. Only her mother loved Yuze at the time.

And because of something, Guo is disappointed in his son and makes him choose between himself or his grandfather, Fu.

At Guo's insistence, Yuze held a sword before his grandfather in trembling.

Though he only wants affection but Yuze is confronted by several choices that actually sound the same. Yuze's mother cries and asks Guo to stop his actions but he never listens.

Yuze commits the inevitable murder. Due to the insistence by Guo, his mentality fell, causing Yu Ze to be insane.

Standing breathlessly facing the body of an old man, his body trembled with a bloodstained knife in the small hand.

It was an incident that made Yuze unlike what he used to be a jovial and affectionate thirst.

That memory is still ringing by him at this time. Yuze got up as soon as the worst thing he had ever experienced came back to mind, and he involuntarily grabbed Yu Jie by the hair and clasped his neck firmly.

“This guy is stubborn!”

Yongchun took action, forcibly pushing Yuze's body along with clutching his wrist to keep Yu Jie from suffocating again.

“Relia, take Princess Yu Jie away from here!”

Reliance immediately distanced them. Yongchun held back his movements bit by bit stronger as Yuze continued to rebel.

“Hey, don't go any further. It's not time for you to die today, but later!” Yongchun lashed out at him with much stronger intimidation.

The entire room was terrifying, the black concentration of Yongchun's aura instantly made everyone there unable to move and just lowered their heads in fear.
