The Prince and Jin Zhong had fled, and when the leader of the Imperial Guard discovered this, his soul nearly left his body in fear. He had risked committing the grave crime of treason to pledge loyalty to The Prince, but now that he had fled, wasn't he destined to die without a place to be buried!
Just as he was struck with terror, Nangong Yi suddenly thrust his sword, piercing him through and sending a chill to his heart. Looking down at the treasured blade that ran through his body, he collapsed weakly to the ground.
The coveted position of the Great General to protect the nation, promised to him by The Prince, would never be his!
Even his life was no longer his own!
Such is the fate of those who betray their master out of greed—he knew it now, but alas, it was too late!
Seeing their leader slain, the Imperial Guard were disinclined to fight any longer, and one by one, they raised their hands to surrender and lay down their weapons.
