Chapter 359 - 359 Captain of the Dark Team
359 Captain of the Dark Team
Seeing Ao Jie ascend the throne, Lin Shu was relieved. However, less than two seconds later, when she walked past Qiao Yanhui, his words made her expression change drastically. “You’d better behave yourself. Otherwise, you and your son will die. You know who I’m talking about!”
Lin Shu didn’t doubt Qiao Yanhui’s words at all. After all, he was a ruthless person who could even kill his own sister, who he had lived with for more than twenty years. Therefore, Lin Shu kept a low profile for the time being.
As for Qiao Yanhui and Ao Jie, the most important thing was still the mysterious team from the royal family.
Because Ao Heng had died an unnatural death and didn’t hand over the information about this team in time, the captain of the secret guards took the initiative to appear in Ao Jie’s study, where Qiao Yanhui was as well.
The captain of the secret guards was about forty years old and had an ordinary appearance. He was the kind of person who wouldn’t be noticed in a crowd. This kind of person was most suitable for assassination missions. However, his eyes were filled with killing intent. It was obvious that he had trampled on many corpses to get to this position.
The captain of the secret guards looked at Qiao Yanhui and gestured for Ao Jie to chase him out. After all, there were some things that only he and the emperor of the Ancient Kingdom could discuss.
How could Ao Jie let Qiao Yanhui leave? Qiao Yanhui had no intention of going out either.
The captain was speechless.
He had no choice but to speak up himself. However, his tone was arrogant. “Your Majesty, please leave.”
Before Ao Jie could say anything, Qiao Yanhui suddenly used a killing move, scaring the captain of the secret guards into hurriedly dodging.
“General Qiao, what do you mean by this?” The captain of the secret guards seemed angry that he had been challenged.
Qiao Yanhui pursed his lips, his eyes flickering with killing intent. His attacks were extremely ruthless. After a while, he grabbed the captain’s throat. Now, as long as he squeezed gently, the captain would die.
The captain of the secret guards looked at Qiao Yanhui in shock. He, the captain of the secret guards, actually couldn’t even withstand three moves from him!
“Do you think you’re worthy of being a henchman of the king? Trash.” Qiao Yanhui smiled disdainfully and threw down the captain of the secret guards.
The captain of the secret guards fell to the ground with an embarrassed expression.
“Since you can’t become a useful henchman and are disobedient, leave. Don’t waste the country’s resources.” Qiao Yanhui’s tone was calm and nonchalant, as if he had only dismissed an ordinary regiment.
“Since General Qiao has already decided it’s useless, disband,” Ao Jie said calmly.
The captain of the secret guards felt terrified. He finally put away his arrogance and said, “I know my mistake now. Please show mercy, Your Majesty.”
“Mistake?” Ao Jie’s tone was nonchalant. Did this person really know what his mistake was?
“I shouldn’t have exceeded my place and taken matters into my own hands!” The captain of the secret guards could only think of this reason.
“Heh,” Ao Jie snickered coldly.
“Your Majesty, please show mercy.” The captain hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Ao Jie sneered. “What right do you have to ask for mercy?”
The captain of the secret guards broke out in cold sweat. That’s right, what right did he have? From the beginning to the end, their team had only been the “knife” of the emperor of the Ancient Kingdom. If the emperor wanted them dead, they couldn’t live. Then what right did he have to face the emperor of the Ancient Kingdom with an arrogant attitude? All along, all the emperors had been wary of them and relied on them, which slowly raised their ambitions.
“I know my mistake now. Your Majesty, please punish me.” The captain of the secret guards knelt on the ground and tried to be as humble as possible.
“Actually, you guys don’t have to die…” Ao Jie paused after saying.
The captain of the secret guards originally thought that he was doomed. After all, he acted haughty in the face of imperial power. Therefore, when he heard this, his eyes lit up.
Ao Jie tapped the table. “But your strength is really disappointing.”
“I will definitely train day and night,” the captain of the secret guards said in fear.
Ao Jie smiled mockingly. What was the use of following their training methods? With their current strength, how could they fight against the secret families? Their only hope was Qiao Yanhui. He suddenly said sternly, “From tonight onwards, General Qiao will be your master. You guys can’t disobey him.”
Qiao Yanhui was also a little surprised, but then he thought of something. Ao Jie was afraid that this team would fall into Lin Shu’s hands. After all, he still had Ao Jie No. 3 in his body…
The captain’s expression changed drastically and he said firmly, “Your Majesty, please take back your order.”
“You want to disobey the emperor?” Killing intent flashed in Ao Jie’s eyes. Although he looked gentle, he wasn’t an indecisive person.
“No! Because this army has to protect the royal family over generations and absolutely can’t fall into the hands of anyone other than the emperor of the Ancient Kingdom.” It was rare for the captain of the secret guards to have such determination.
“When did I say that you guys would betray the royal family? I’m only handing you guys over to General Qiao to create a true royal secret guard team. Don’t be so useless.” Ao Jie stared at the captain of the secret guards in exasperation.
