"Yin Shuke, you Jurchens killed my people and humiliated my women. This blood feud is deep and deep, and I, Zhang Shixun, must avenge it. In this lifetime, I will not be a human being unless I destroy your Jin Kingdom."

Zhang Shixun said this with gritted teeth.

Yin Shuke snorted coldly, "Zhang Shixun, don't think you're so great just because you know some magic. Since the rise of our Great Jin Empire, we have swept across the world, crushing everything in our path. And you, a mere sorcerer, are making such bold claims, claiming to destroy our Great Jin Empire. You're so arrogant... Haha! I'm dying of laughter."

After Yin Keshu finished speaking, he looked up to the sky and laughed out loud.

The soldiers around him also laughed.

Zhang Shixun had no time for bickering and loudly ordered his men to lead the people into the village.

Only after most of the people had gone in did Zhang Shixun have Nianhan untied.

Zhang Shixun saw that Nianhan's eyes were dull and he was standing there motionless, so he pushed him and said, "Nianhan, you can go now. I hope you will turn over a new leaf and become a new man when you return."

After saying that, he waved his hand and led his men towards the village.

Yin Keshu rushed forward a few steps, put his arms around Nianhan, and said in a trembling voice, "Marshal, are you okay?"

A subordinate said, "General, cloth, cloth!"

"Get lost!" Yin Keshu kicked him and made him fall over. "It's nothing."

The subordinate, lying in the snow, said aggrievedly, "I'm reminding you that the marshal still has a cloth stuffed in his mouth."

Yin Keshu finally came to his senses and hurriedly removed the cloth from Nianhan's mouth.

Nianhan's mouth was free, and he opened it and said, "I am guilty! My sins are grave!"

Yin Keshu was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "Marshal Nianhan, are you...are you okay?"

"I am guilty! I am deeply sinful!"

The same thing.

Yin Keshu then realized something was wrong and looked up at Zhang Shixun and shouted, "Zhang Shixun, what did you do to my Marshal?"

Zhang Shixun turned around and smiled, "I didn't do anything to Nianhan. It's just that what he did was disgusting. I'm embarrassed to say it out loud. If you want to ask, just ask him himself."

Yin Keshu said, "If anything happens to my marshal, I will massacre your entire city!"

Zhang Shixun raised his middle finger at him and strode towards the village gate.

Yin Keshu quickly checked Nianhan's body and was relieved to see that he was safe and sound with no injuries on his body.

"Lift up the marshal and return to camp!"

The subordinates carried Nianhan and hurried back to the Jin army camp.

Along the way, Nianhan kept repeating: "I am guilty! I have committed grave sins!"

Wanyan Loushi came forward and saw that Nianhan was not in good condition. He asked hurriedly, "Marshal, what's going on...?"

"That scoundrel Zhang Shixun must have done something to him." Yin Keshu didn't bother to explain. He turned around and ordered his men, "Don't tell anyone about the Marshal's affairs. Also, no one is allowed to approach my tent. Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"

Then, he called the doctor who was accompanying the army.

He and Wanyan Loushi stood beside Nianhan, looking at him worriedly.

The doctor took Nianhan's pulse and examined him from head to toe before saying to Yin Shuke and the others, "The Marshal is not in serious trouble. He..."

"I am guilty! I am deeply sinful!"

Yin Shuke asked, "Why does he keep repeating this? Is there something wrong with his brain?"

The doctor shook his head and said, "There should be nothing wrong with his brain."

"That……?"

"I guess they gave the marshal some kind of love potion."

"Love potion?"

The doctor said, "It seems the drug was so powerful that Marshal Nianhan lost his mind."

Yin Shuke grabbed the doctor's hand and asked worriedly, "Can you recover?"

"He should be fine once the effects of the drug wear off. I'll prescribe him some medicine first. Let him take it and have a good sleep first."

The doctor said this and wrote out a prescription.

Yin Shuke hurriedly sent someone with the prescription to Kaifeng City to get the medicine.

However, before the medicine was retrieved, Nianhan fell into a deep sleep.

In the past few days, he was first tortured by Wang Dong's mental tactics and was not allowed to sleep. Later, he had several "battles" with the sows and was already exhausted.

Yin Shuke and Wanyan Loushi looked at Nianhan who was sleeping soundly, and no one spoke.

After a while, Yin Shuke finally sighed, "Lou Shi, if Marshal Nianhan can't lead the army, you and I will be in trouble."

Wanyan Loushi nodded, "Yes, the Marshal has something to do, and it's difficult to explain to the Emperor and the Prime Minister."

The two were just feeling worried when Jiemu lifted the curtain and walked in, followed by Wuzhu.

As soon as he came in, he asked bluntly, "How's Nianhan? Is he okay?"

Yin Shuke said: "I'm fine, I was just tortured badly by Zhang Shixun and need to rest."

Jiemu looked at Nianhan who was sleeping soundly, and seeing that he was snoring loudly, she nodded and turned her gaze to Yin Shuke and the other man.

"Now that Nianhan has returned, it's time for us to take action. We should quickly destroy Zhang Xiaozhuang and Gao Laozhuang, capture Zhang Shixun alive and skin him alive, so that we can withdraw our troops and return home."

The home he was talking about was naturally the Jin Dynasty.

Now that we have captured the capital of the Song Dynasty and captured the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and have taken everything we should take, what are we still doing here?

Yin Shuke gritted his teeth and said, "General, give the order. Once we capture Zhang Shixun, I will tear him into pieces."

Jie Mu patted his shoulder and said, "I'll leave Zhang Xiaozhuang to you and Lou Shi. I'll go attack Gao Laozhuang... They're just two small villages. We can take them down in just one day."

Yin Shu was not as optimistic as him. "General, the ice city wall is very high and slippery. It will not be easy to attack it."

Jiemu waved her hand and said, "That's no big deal. We can use dozens of catapults to attack them, and set up dozens of ladders. We will definitely take them down in one go."

Wuzhu, who had remained silent the entire time, listened to him speak so easily. He then said, "Zhang Shixun possesses supernatural powers and is adept at using heavenly thunder. His cousin Wang Dong can also use heavenly fire. They should not be underestimated. If we attack head-on, we will surely suffer heavy casualties and the loss will outweigh the gain."

Mentioning Zhang Shixun's supernatural powers reminded Jiemu of the last time they attacked Gao Laozhuang and the Jin soldier who pretended to be him had his head pierced through.

He shuddered and warned, "Wuzhu is right. Zhang Shixun is a thief who uses magic and can kill people from a hundred steps away. We must be on guard... To be on the safe side, each of you should find a substitute to prevent him from doing anything bad."

Seeing that the usually carefree Jiemu had a serious expression, everyone nodded in unison.

Wuzhu added, "I brought dozens of barrels of kerosene with me this time, all collected from the Great Song Military Arsenal. You can have the soldiers pile up the kerosene at the village gate and set fire to the ice wall."

Everyone present nodded in agreement. They had all seen the Song army defending the city use flaming oil. When that stuff burned, smoke and fire would appear, and even water could not put it out. It was truly powerful.

Jie Mu said, "Leave the task of delivering the kerosene to Pharmacist Guo's troops. This fellow is too cunning. He's been besieging Zhang Xiaozhuang for so long, but hasn't achieved any success... Humph! If he tries to play tricks on me this time, I'll chop off his head and kick it around like a ball."
