Chapter 2457: This Aunt, Thank You
“This aunt, thank you for speaking out for justice.” The high priest cupped his hands at Ning Shu.
“I’m actually under fifteen,” Ning Shu said speechlessly.
The high priest was silent for a moment. “You gave birth quite early.”
“General…” Xiao Ke looked at Xuan Yuanhao, “What should we do now?”
“The simplest way is to kill everyone here,” Xuan Yuanhao said.
Xiao Ke nodded.
Xuan Yuanhao showed his true ability this time and killed a person with one slap.
“Ah Si!”
“Xuan Yuanhao.” The high priest stared at Xuan Yuanhao. “How dare you kill our people.”
Both sides attacked and fought with their lives on the line. Ning Shu directly kidnapped Xiao Ke.
Xiao Ke had a bit of skill, but she wasn’t as good as Ning Shu.
“Hand over the spirit stone, or I’ll strangle her to death.” Ning Shu clutched Xiao Ke’s neck.
“Release Xiao Ke.” Xuan Yuanhao tensely shouted at Ning Shu.
“Give me the stone and I’ll let her go,” Ning Shu lifted her chin and said.
“Don’t worry about me, General. You must never give her the spirit stone,” Xiao Ke yelled sadly. “Don’t worry about me, the spirit stone is the most important.”
Ning Shu: …
This time she really ended up in the role of the malicious supporting female lead. This situation…
“Release Xiao Ke and I’ll give it to you.” Xuan Yuanhao took out a palm-sized stone.
It was very thick and completely black, but it was still not as big as Li Sanlang’s tablet.
“General, don’t do that. We suffered so much hardship to find that thing. Don’t give it to her because of me,” Xiao Ke said anxiously. At the same time, she was very moved that the general would hand over the spirit stone to save her.
“Give him the spirit stone.” Ning Shu used her chin to point toward the high priest.
Xuan Yuanhao calmly threw the stone to the high priest, who quickly caught it.
“High Priest, is it real?”
“It’s real, it’s real.” The high priest put the stone to his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief.
“Great! The spirit stone has been found.”
Xuan Yuanhao’s face was ashen. He gnashed his teeth and said to Ning Shu, “Release Xiao Ke.”
Ning Shu continued to clutch Xiao Ke’s neck and retreated, saying to the high priest, “Go quickly.”
“Thank you.” The high priest ran away with his men.
Ning Shu: Wait for me too, aaah…
“You’re just a short-sighted village woman. Do you know how many people who fight on the frontlines every day will die because of you? So many soldiers will be buried at the border. How many mothers and wives wait hopefully for their sons and husbands to return? Do you know what you’re doing?”
“Li country depends on these soldiers for protection. How many lives could we have saved with the spirit stone?” Xiao Ke said in a sharp voice.
“Soldiers guard their homes and defend their country as their responsibility. War is the result of high-ranking men’s ambition. Don’t act like it’s so noble and lofty,” Ning Shu said dully.
To lead an army, one must fulfill their duty.
“You’re really cold-blooded,” Xiao Ke said angrily.
“I am this cold-blooded,” Ning Shu said shamelessly.
“Little girl, whose treasured daughter are you?” Ning Shu continued to hold her by the neck and chatted purposelessly, “Does your family know that you joined the army?”
Don’t tell her that the women in this world could join the army?
“What are you talking about? Are you blind? You keep insisting that I’m a woman,” Xiao Ke said angrily. She looked at Xuan Yuanhao, “General, don’t listen to her nonsense. I’m not a woman, I’m a man. I’m with you every day. You should know that.”
Ning Shu rolled her eyes, then rolled them again.
