Upon hearing this, Huang Long's chest heaved violently, and his bloodshot eyes practically spitting fire.

He glared angrily at Kim Gun-in, his body twisting and turning.

Seeing him staring at him like that, Kim Geon-in's eyes narrowed, and a sinister smile appeared on his lips.

"Have all the people been arrested?" Jin Jianren asked.

"Your Highness, they've all been tied up and can be taken back to the prison," a subordinate replied.

Jin Jianren smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying, "No rush, bring Madam Huang over."

Upon hearing this, the subordinate's heart tightened, and a strange look appeared in his eyes, but he quickly replied, "Yes, Your Highness."

When Huang Long, who was lying on the ground, heard that he was going to bring his wife over, his heart skipped a beat and an ominous premonition arose in his mind.

"Waaah!" He twisted his body desperately.

Kim Geon-in laughed heartily at his appearance, stroking his beard as he said, "Your eyes look like you want to eat someone alive. It's terrifying, really scary...hehe."

"If you like watching, then watch more of it later."

Soon, two men brought Madam Huang to the main hall.

Like Huang Long, she was also bound and gagged with a strip of cloth. Tears streamed down her face. As soon as she saw Huang Long lying on the ground, she hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Jin Jianren.

Jin Jianren scrutinized her closely, then sighed and said, "It's a pity she's not as beautiful as Lady Huwei."

"Hmm, she's in Beiliang... I'll have to go there sometime..."

At this point, he stood up with a smile, walked to Huang Long's side, and then tore the gag out of his mouth.

As soon as the strip of cloth was torn off, Huang Long immediately started cursing.

"You bunch..."

Before he could finish speaking, a flash of cold light appeared, and Jin Jianren suddenly had a dagger in his hand. He smiled and plunged the dagger into Huang Long's mouth. Before Huang Long could react, the dagger was already swirling inside his mouth.

Almost instantly, a piercing scream rang out...

Blood and shredded tongue flesh fell to the ground, and Huang Long almost fainted from the excruciating pain.

Jin Jianren had already stopped, and he smiled faintly, saying:

"This method is more convenient, and it saves you from being so talkative."

Madam Huang, tears streaming down her face, twisted her body and crawled toward Huanglong.

Kim Geon-in waved his hand, his handsome and cheerful face flushed with excitement, and he laughed heartily, saying:

"close the door."

As the door closed, Jin Jianren, carrying a dagger, grinned and walked towards Madam Huang...

Then came the continuous, piercing screams...

Outside the door, several guards stood with their heads bowed, their bodies trembling slightly, as if the people inside were demons crawling out of hell...

——

Prince Qing's Mansion.

A dark room.

"Father, my elder brother has already led his men to Huanglong's residence. From now on, the Huang family's military power will be handed over to my elder brother."

"I plan to send the Thousand Machine Battalion to assassinate Qin Ze, of course, under the guise of a henchman seeking revenge for Huang Long."

Jin Jiande looked at Prince Qing, who was sitting in the chair.

Prince Qing did not speak, but picked up a finely crafted wooden pot from the table, poured some powder out onto the table, and then lowered his head and took a deep breath of the powder.

Immediately, he shuddered and his face flushed.

After a long pause, he chuckled and said, "Hmm, not bad, this snuff is quite good."

His gaze shifted to Jin Jiande, and he said, "Send the Thousand Machine Battalion to kill Qin Ze? It seems... not so easy."

Jin Jiande frowned. "Father, they are highly skilled in martial arts and proficient in various assassination techniques. They will definitely be able to kill Qin Ze."

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems!"

Prince Qing smiled slightly, "I don't think so."

"Qin Ze was able to kill so many Hu soldiers, so the people around him must be loyal and the defenses must be tight. They won't be easy to kill."

"Although you are going to send assassins, it would be a waste to send them to their deaths in vain."

Jin Jiande frowned. "Father, what you mean is...?"

Prince Qing remained calm and snapped his fingers with a "snap".

Then, a man dressed in crimson embroidered robes pushed open the door and entered. He was carrying a small wooden box, only about five or six inches in size.

"Open it," Prince Qing said.

The man opened the wooden box, and Jin Jiande looked up to see a spherical object inside, wrapped in oiled paper.

Jin Jiande lowered his head, sniffed the smell, and then raised an eyebrow: "It smells like saltpeter?"

Prince Qing picked up the teacup beside the table, took a small sip, and then smiled faintly:

"Hmm, not bad."

"These were sent from overseas by Jianzhong a few days ago. There weren't many, just a few, but after the Shenji Battalion tested them, they were quite powerful."

"Place it on the ballista and fire..."

At this point, Prince Qing stood up, suddenly opened his arms wide, his eyes widened, and he laughed loudly:

"Bang!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Watching his father's exaggerated performance, Jin Jiande involuntarily took a step back, a bead of cold sweat trickling down his forehead. He forced a smile and said:

"I'm getting less and less understanding of the Shenji Battalion's stuff...heh."

Prince Qing walked to Jin Jiande's side, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Times have changed, son."

"When Jianzhong went overseas, I realized how vast the world is, how many expansive lands there are, and how many novel things there are! It was truly an eye-opening experience!"
