Bailuyuan is located thirty miles west of Xijing.
There are fertile fields with crisscrossing paths and rich soil. It is the best arable land in Xijing.
In the past, this place would be bustling with people and a busy farming scene.
Now, there are also a lot of people coming and going.
But instead of cultivating this fertile soil, they trampled on it rudely.
War horses ran recklessly in the fields, tents and deer horns were scattered all over the fields, smoke rose, and there was a lot of noise and bustle.
And in the middle of this field, there is a manor that is being ravaged by fire, with thick smoke billowing and crackling sounds.
Clothes, furniture and even corpses were scattered around the manor, creating a mess.
A huge square was filled with thousands of soldiers wearing different armors and carrying various weapons.
Their faces were filled with excitement, their eyes were full of fanaticism, and they shouted from time to time.
In the middle of the square, a group of gorgeously dressed men, women, young and old were tied up, kneeling together, shivering and crying.
A fat, pale middle-aged man, covered in sweat, his eyes full of fear and despair.
A large pot was placed on the square, with a blazing fire underneath. The water in the pot was boiling and emitting mist.
On the temporary wooden platform in the middle, a team of armored guards surrounded a bearded man.
The big man had bronze skin, a rough face, and fierce and complacent eyes.
He sat upright on a throne, looking at the person kneeling in front of him with amusement.
"Niu Tianwang, the water has boiled!" A man who looked like a leader strode over and reported to the bearded man.
"Haha, now that the water is boiling, let's put Yinxuan the pig into the pot and cook it!"
Upon hearing this, Niu Tianwang stood up and walked to the edge of the platform while speaking.
The generals and guards behind him also came over in a hurry.
"The King of Heaven has ordered that the King of Han be boiled in the pot now!" The leader shouted to the soldiers who were responsible for guarding the group of men, women, and children in the middle of the square.
"As you command, put it in the pot and cook the King of Han!"
The soldiers below also shouted loudly.
"Cook the King of Han, cook the King of Han!"
The soldiers watching were extremely excited and cheered loudly.
The fat middle-aged man was so scared that he turned into a puddle of mud, with yellow liquid flowing out from his crotch.
"Haha, he was scared to death!" The soldier pointed at the King of Han and laughed.
The people around were laughing so hard that they were bent over, looking extremely happy.
The person who is about to be thrown into the pot and cooked is the fourth son of the current emperor, the King of Han, whose fiefdom is in Bailuyuan, Xijing.
The nobles who usually live high and mighty, with luxurious clothes and delicious food, as if they were living in heaven and were beyond reach, are now like pigs at the mercy of others.
It turns out that these royal masters can also be afraid!
Many of the common people who had been exploited and bullied were also watching the scene. They joined the rebel army at the first opportunity, took up arms to attack the King of Han's guards, robbed the food in the manor, and set fire to the King of Han's mansion.
"I have given you everything. Can't you just let us live?"
The King of Han made his final plea amid the waves of condemnation.
The fiefs of the King of Han and the King of Qin were both in Bailuyuan.
When Li Chenghua led the imperial army to Linzhou to join Tian Zun and Pei Lun and look for Li Jingang's main force to fight, the King of Han and the King of Qin were still indulging in wine and women and oppressing the people.
They never imagined that the rebel army would reach Xijing so quickly.
After all, Xijing is such an important place, the imperial court will definitely guard it with heavy troops.
However, the development of the matter was beyond their expectations. Li Jingang's brave vanguard Niu Desheng led an army of 100,000 volunteers and advanced all the way with great momentum. Within a few days, they conquered the Phoenix Valley and entered the land of Xijing.
On the way, there were common people leading the way, and more common people continued to join the team.
When they reached Bailuyuan, Zhang Zhongfang, the commander-in-chief of Xijing, had only 4,000 soldiers and horses and did not dare to leave the city to fight.
Prince Yinbing of Qin was the first to get the news. He abandoned his manor, took only some valuables, and ran into Xijing City with his family, thus escaping the disaster.
However, King Yinxuan of Han believed that these rebels were robbing money and food for wealth, and that they could be sent away as long as they were given enough money and food.
So he didn't choose to run away.
When Niu Desheng's army arrived, they first looted all the supplies in the King of Qin's manor, and then set the manor on fire.
Then he came to King Han and found that King Han and his family had not left. Niu Desheng was immediately happy.
He ordered the arrest of the King of Han's entire family, and then prepared to boil the King of Han in the square in front of tens of thousands of people.
Niu Desheng saw the King of Han speaking, so he had the soldiers bring him over. Then, staring at the King of Han, he taunted him, "Foolish! I'm going to kill you and your whole family. Aren't the things in your manor also ours?"
"But don't worry, I will take good care of your wife and daughter for you! As for the women in your house, my brothers will all be gentle with them, haha!"
Niu Dejin burst into a terrifying laugh, which made the King of Han feel uneasy.
"You want to kill me!"
The King of Han knew that he had no way out and was disheartened.
He only regretted why he was so stupid for not running away and getting his wife and children into trouble.
"We, the Yin family, are rebelling against you and want to kill all of you Yin family members! Do you think I can still keep you here?"
Niu Desheng said coldly, "Yinxuan, do you still remember the fire at Niujiazhuang on Bailuyuan ten years ago?"
"My Niu family, with over 30 households and over a hundred people, was burned to ashes by the people you sent in the middle of the night. I was the only one who escaped!"
"For over ten years, I have been hiding my identity and working as a postman in Xiazhou. I could barely make ends meet, but I certainly can't count on you for revenge."
