Prince Ono and Princess Sakuya heard the sounds of slashing and killing coming from behind them.
The two men were furious.
They launched into a tirade of curses.
"Baka yarou, you bunch of greedy idiots."
"They betrayed the two of us for a mere million taels of silver. Those idiots deserve to die a horrible death."
"I never imagined that these people could be so stupid."
...
Jiang Tian's residence.
Prince Ono and Princess Sakuya knelt before Jiang Tian.
"My lord, I have lived up to your expectations and have captured Prince Ono and Princess Sakuya in Penglai County." Shen Lian knelt on one knee.
Jiang Tian glanced at Prince Ono.
Ono-sama looks like a mentally challenged person; his eyes are almost cross-eyed, and not only that, Ono-sama's eyes are also far apart.
When I saw Prince Ono's face a couple of days ago, I immediately thought of Tang Shi'er.
It seems that in this day and age...
The practice of inbreeding within the Japanese imperial family is already quite serious.
Otherwise, a child with Down syndrome like this wouldn't have been born.
"Jiang Tian, do as you please, kill me or torture me." Before Prince Ono could speak, Princess Sakuya had already spoken.
"Alright, I'll follow your suggestion. You probably don't know how formidable the Xiongnu cavalry are. I'll send you to them first, hoping your body can withstand the abuse of tens of thousands of wolf-like Xiongnu cavalry." Jiang Tian smiled coldly.
Sakuya-hime couldn't utter a single word.
It was clear that the woman was kneeling there, trembling all over.
"What, are you scared already?"
"Where did that tough attitude you had just displayed go? It vanished so quickly?"
Sakuya-hime turned ashen-faced and collapsed to the ground instantly.
"A woman like that dares to be so tough." Shen Lian scoffed.
"My lord, how should we deal with this Prince Ono? Should we execute him by slow slicing, or should we skin this beast alive?"
Shen Lian placed a brocade spring knife on Prince Ono's head.
Just then, Jiang Tian smelled a strong odor of urine.
He frowned and walked up to Prince Ono: "Tell me, how do you plan to die? Lingchi execution is just putting a fishing net over your body first."
"The executioner will take a sharp knife and cut your flesh through the holes in the fishing net."
"They will definitely cut you 3600 times first. After all 3600 cuts are done, all you will be left with is a complete skeleton."
Prince Ono was so frightened that he lost control of his bladder.
A stream of yellowish liquid flowed onto the ground.
Jiang Tian covered his nose.
"It seems you enjoy being executed by slow slicing, so I'll grant your wish?" Jiang Tian snapped his fingers.
Three Imperial Guards stepped forward again. One grabbed Prince Ono by the hair, while the other two held his arms and tried to pull him out.
Prince Ono screamed in terror, "No, no, no! I don't want to be executed by slow slicing! I don't want to be executed by slow slicing!"
Jiang Tian snapped his fingers.
The three Imperial Guards released Prince Ono.
Jiang Tian walked over, raised his right foot, and stepped on Prince Ono's head, slamming his head to the ground.
Sakuya-hime, who was standing nearby, saw her own brother being treated this way.
The woman was about to say something, but she didn't dare to open her mouth.
Sakuya-hime could only tremble all over, shaking like a leaf.
"It seems you're planning to choose the second way to die."
"Peeling daylilies is interesting. It involves peeling off your skin, stuffing it with dried grass, and letting wild dogs eat your flesh and bones."
Jiang Tian snapped his fingers.
The executioner next to him sat there with a whetstone, sharpening a razor blade with huff and puff.
I heard the sound of sharpening knives.
Prince Ono was so frightened that he didn't know what to do: "I don't want to die, I just want to live."
Jiang Tian stomped Prince Ono's face into the mud: "I heard from the Embroidered Uniform Guard that you saw those corpses hanging on the trees when you entered the city last night."
I think you could keep them company.
Ono shook his head.
"I don't want to keep them company, I just want to live."
Jiang Tian continued to exert force with his foot.
Prince Ono's face was scraped raw and bloody on the ground.
"You're always thinking about good things. There aren't that many good things in this world."
Prince Ono was at a loss for what to do; he could only feel that he could hardly breathe.
Jiang Tian lifted his foot.
Prince Ono then straightened his knees.
"How about this, I'm a very kind-hearted person." Jiang Tian used his toe to lift Prince Ono's chin. "I'm a benevolent person, how about I let you be the emperor of your Japanese island?"
Prince Ono could hardly believe his ears.
The Emperor of Japan, Ōmono-no-Shu, is still alive. If he wants to become Emperor, he must wait until Ōmono-no-Shu dies.
The owner is strong and healthy; he probably won't die for at least twenty or thirty years.
"Sir, please don't joke around."
"Who the hell is joking with you?" Jiang Tian slapped Ono no Ueko hard across the face. "Do you think I'm in the mood to joke with you?"
Prince Ono stood there, stunned.
"As long as your Emperor Omono-sama doesn't die, you can never hope to become Emperor. Now I'm taking pity on you and letting you become Emperor of Japan. Are you satisfied or not?"
"Satisfied, very satisfied." As long as he isn't executed by slow slicing or skinned alive.
Prince Ono can do whatever he wants.
Moreover, Jiang Tian plans to support Prince Ono as the Emperor of Japan.
Prince Ono was secretly overjoyed.
"Sir, you're not joking with me, are you?"
Do you think I'd be interested in joking with someone with Down syndrome like you?
"My ships will take you across the sea in the next few days. After you return, I will send a force of ten thousand men to support your seizure of power."
"Think it over carefully: do you want to be executed by slow slicing or skinned alive, or do you want to go back and become the Emperor of Japan?"
Three options were presented to Prince Ono.
What should he choose? It goes without saying.
"Your Excellency has shown me immense kindness, and I know what I should do."
"Rest assured, sir, I have always been your loyal dog. I will do whatever you ask."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian laughed heartily: "Learn to bark like a dog twice, so I can hear it."
"Woof woof woof... woof woof woof..." Prince Ono's imitation of a dog's bark was incredibly lifelike.
"Give him a bone and let him taste the joys of being a dog."
"promise……"
Prince Ono has been completely tamed.
Sakuya-hime knelt there beside her, unsure of what to do.
Prince Ono, with a bone in his mouth, wolfed it down like a dog, chewing every last bit of bone before swallowing it.
Prince Ono turned around and glanced at Princess Sakuya: "My lord, this woman is my younger sister, and also my future empress. Could you please show some leniency and spare her?"
