1830: Protection 3

Protection 3

Ouyang Mingjing's frustration grew as these individuals became a hindrance to their plans.0

Snow Territory had plenty of women available, so why couldn't they wait before taking action against the girls from the Saint Divine Land?

He looked at Gu Chaoyan with a serious expression and stated, "I will give you a resolution."

Then he shifted his attention to Longqing.

Finally, he turned to the guards who had recently made a mistake.

These guards were all familiar faces and highly capable individuals working under Longqing. However, their behavior had crossed the line.

"All of you are dismissed, and you will receive 20 lashes," Ouyang Mingjing declared.

Longqing appeared taken aback by the decision.

These guards were exceptionally skilled and valuable assets. Firing them seemed excessive.

"City Lord, they are outstanding employees. You can punish them, but please reconsider firing them," Longqing interjected, expressing his dissatisfaction.

After a moment of contemplation, he reluctantly proposed, "Alternatively, they can marry these women. Would that be a suitable resolution?"

Upon hearing the guards' objection, a wave of unwillingness swept through them.

These guards were popular and ambitious individuals under Longqing's command, and they aspired to have their pick of excellent partners. Marrying low-class women from the Saint Divine Land was not part of their plans. These women were meant for pleasure, not for marriage. They desired pure-blooded women as their wives, not these maids.

The maids and hidden guards from the Saint Divine Land were filled with fury and indignation at this humiliating proposition.

And in response to their words…

Gu Chaoyan took immediate action.

Swiftly, she seized Sword One's sword and launched herself at the guards. In a matter of seconds, she severed their hands, leaving them screaming in pain. Not stopping there, she continued her assault, severing their arms one by one. Her movements were lightning-fast, a testament to her assassin training from her previous life.

Before Ouyang Mingjing and Longqing could comprehend what had transpired, Gu Chaoyan tossed the bloodstained sword to the ground, addressing Sword One, "The sword is tainted now. Dispose of it. I will provide you with a sharper one once we return to the Saint Divine Land."

Facing the others, Gu Chaoyan shifted her gaze towards Ouyang Mingjing and Longqing, her voice firm and decisive. "Since it took you both so long to come up with a solution, allow me to make a decision on your behalf."

"….."

"These individuals have not only insulted the maids from the Saint Divine Land but also physically harmed them. Therefore, the punishment is simple: sever their hands. Whether or not they are fired is inconsequential to me."

"…."

"In this way, they will never insult girls from our country" she continued, her voice chillingly calm, without even blinking at the sight of blood."This incident is closed."

However, a thought struck her, causing her to add with a touch of scorn, "As for the notion of marrying them, I'm sorry to inform you that your guards are unworthy of such honorable women."
