"Please spare my life, King Qianhuang, please have mercy on me and spare my family!
I will definitely be loyal to King Qianhuang and will never have any second thoughts.
If I break this oath, I will suffer divine punishment... I will be struck by lightning every day and shattered to pieces, and after death I won't even have a place to be buried..."
As he spoke, Zhao Tongpan burst into tears, raised his hands, and swore a poisonous oath to the sky. His voice was choked with extreme panic and sounded creepy.
At this moment, Magistrate Liu, who was also frightened out of his wits, gradually came to his senses.
His usually pampered and majestic face was now distorted. Tears welled up in his eyes as he followed Zhao Tongpan and begged for mercy with a mournful face.
"I beg King Qianhuang to show mercy and spare my family's life!
From now on, I will serve King Qianhuang wholeheartedly. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I will never retreat a single step. I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
However, in the face of the two men's desperate pleas and swearing, Chen Yong was as cold and ruthless as an iceberg, and he didn't even raise his eyelids.
He slowly stood up and walked in front of Zhao Tongpan and Liu Zhifu with steady and powerful steps.
Then, without any warning, Chen Yong suddenly stretched out his right hand and stuffed the two poison pills in his hand into the mouths of the two men at lightning speed, and shouted sternly,
"Swallow it for me!"
Looking at the two people in front of him who were in pain due to the poison, Chen Yong's eyes were still as cold as ice, without a trace of pity.
He just stood there quietly, staring at them coldly.
Magistrate Liu was trembling all over, wishing he could spit out the poison in his mouth.
But he didn't dare to vomit. After taking the poison, he still had seven days to prepare.
If he didn't eat it, looking at the murderous look on Chen Yong's face, he would probably vomit it out and his head would fall to the ground.
Magistrate Liu swallowed the poison with a painful expression, as if he had used up all his strength.
The moment the poison slid down his throat, he collapsed to the ground.
Zhao Tongpan was trembling constantly and tears were falling uncontrollably.
He is now in his prime and his career is on the rise. He really doesn't want to die.
The poison stayed in his mouth for too long, and the venom that melted out was so bitter that he wanted to vomit.
Zhao Tongpan closed his eyes tightly, gritted his teeth, made up his mind, pursed his lips, rolled his throat slightly, and then used all his strength to swallow the deadly poison.
Shen Yong on the side watched all this with an expressionless face. After seeing that both of them had successfully swallowed the poison, he turned around without hesitation and walked slowly towards the door with steady steps.
Prefect Liu and Judge Zhao had never expected that Chen Yong would leave so abruptly, without even saying a word.
They stared at each other with wide eyes and astonishment, and they could see deep confusion and puzzlement in each other's eyes.
Then, almost at the same time, both of them raised their hands and tried to reach into their mouths to pick out the poison they had just swallowed.
However, at this moment, Shen Yong's cold voice suddenly entered their ears like a ghost, "Pick it out and feed it!"
These four simple words were like a thunderclap exploding in the hearts of the two people.
Upon hearing these words, the two of them froze in place instantly, and the fingers that were about to touch their throats seemed to be under a spell and could not move.
After hesitating for a moment, they could only put down their arms in disappointment, with embarrassed and helpless expressions on their faces.
Shen Yong walked to the door, stopped, bent down and picked up an unconscious guard.
He stretched out his right hand and gently pressed the back of the guard's neck.
The guard only let out a low groan and then slowly woke up.
The moment he opened his eyes, what caught his eye was the stern face of the strange man in front of him.
The guard's pupils trembled suddenly, and a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart.
Without time to think, he quickly reached for the sword at his waist and shouted loudly, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Liu Mansion!!!"
However, before he could touch the hilt of the sword, Shen Yong had already made his move.
He just flicked his wrist and lifted the guard up easily like a chicken, then threw him forward mercilessly, directly in the direction of Prefect Liu and Judge Zhao.
With a muffled "bang" sound, the guard fell heavily to the ground, screaming in pain.
“Ah~hiss~”
The guard propped himself up with his arms filled with resentment. As soon as he raised his head, he saw Magistrate Liu and Judge Zhao kneeling beside him.
I saw that Prefect Liu and Judge Zhao had stunned expressions on their faces, staring straight at the guard who was thrown in front of them. It was obvious that they had no idea what Shen Yong's intention was.
The guard was startled and quickly knelt down, saying in a trembling voice, "Master Liu..."
However, when he looked up at the two adults, he instantly understood the current situation.
He clearly felt the unbearable pain on the back of his neck, and his mind flashed through what had happened before - just now, a person suddenly appeared from nowhere and knocked him unconscious without anyone noticing!
And now, someone dared to be so bold as to break into Lord Liu's study and successfully kidnapped and coerced the two lords to stay here.
Thinking of this, the guard couldn't help but feel secretly shocked.
Judging from the man's ability to knock him out so easily without being noticed, his martial arts skills must be far superior to his own.
But now, at this critical moment, he was the only one who appeared in front of the two adults.
Although he knew that the enemy was strong and he was weak, as a guard, he had no choice but to do his best to protect the safety of the adults.
Just as the guards were nervously thinking about countermeasures, they suddenly heard a light sound of footsteps coming from behind them.
In an instant, he stretched out his hand without hesitation and drew the sword from his waist. His movements were as fast as the wind, and he was on full alert as if facing a great enemy.
There was only a crisp sound of "clang"! Before the guard could thrust out the sword in his hand, Shen Yong suddenly flicked his finger with lightning speed and sent it flying.
With a dull "clang" sound, the sword body, which was originally shining with cold light and extremely sharp, fell straight to the ground in an instant.
At the same time, there was also an extremely harsh and terrifying sharp sound.
The guard stared in astonishment and amazement at the sword that had already flown away from his hand. He stood there as if petrified.
He only felt waves of piercing pain and numbness in his entire right arm, and even lifting a finger became extremely difficult.
At this moment, his heart was filled with disbelief and fear.
