At this moment, the wicked husband was chatting idly with Wang Jian, and even though a hellish massacre was unfolding before their eyes, it did not affect the two of them in the slightest.
"Grand Commandant, General, look! I've caught a big fish!" Chun Ning's excited shouts came from afar, and the two who were chatting subconsciously turned their heads to look.
Then Chun Ning rode up at breakneck speed, followed by a dozen soldiers. It was the dead of night, and the moonlight was dim, so it was hard to see what kind of big fish he had caught.
"The Prime Minister of Yan?!" Wang Jian exclaimed in surprise, his gaze fixed on the captured man being escorted by Chun Ning.
At this moment, Li Fu's clothes were tattered, his face was deathly pale, and his eyes were filled with deep fear and resentment. When he was dragged in front of Wang Jian and his wicked husband, a complex look flashed in Wang Jian's eyes.
The wicked man smiled faintly and then asked, "You're quite lucky, kid. Erniu killed the Lord of Changguo, and you captured this Prime Minister of Yan... you've made progress in tandem."
Chun Ning jumped off her warhorse and kicked Li Fu hard, cursing, "That old bastard runs fast! He almost ruined my hard-earned merit!"
The wicked man nodded, his gaze falling on Chestnut Belly, and said sarcastically, "I am the Grand Commandant of Qin, E'fu, and I greet the Prime Minister of Yan."
Chestnut belly glared fiercely at her wicked husband and cursed, "Butcher...you have such a ruthless scheme!!"
Upon hearing the word "butcher," the wicked man paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, his voice deep and imposing: "I, the Grand Commandant, quite like this title. Thank you for the Prime Minister's praise."
Li Fu's face was pale, clearly unfazed by his wicked husband's provocation. He sneered, "People say that the Qin Grand Commandant is brave but reckless, bloodthirsty and tyrannical, yet he never uses his brain..."
"Now it seems the rumors are unreliable. The Grand Commandant's scheme today... I truly admire him," Li Fu replied coldly.
These words left the wicked husband bewildered, and he retorted, "You keep saying that I used open schemes, how come I didn't know that?"
"but...."
The wicked man changed his tone and said with a smile, "The rumors are not wrong. This Grand Commandant does not like to use his brain. It is only because my Qin army is strong and powerful, and I am as brave as the war god Chi You, why should I use my strategies and schemes against you chickens and dogs?"
Upon hearing this, Li Fu remained silent for a moment, seemingly rendered speechless by her wicked husband's retort. After a long while, she finally said, "What a joke! If I weren't afraid of being unable to defeat the combined forces of Yan, Zhao, and Chu, would I have driven away civilians to disturb my peace of mind?"
"You are truly treacherous, forcing me into a dilemma. If you let them into the city... Rao City will surely fall; if you don't let them in... I will be condemned for all eternity..."
"Oh?" The wicked man raised an eyebrow, his sharp gaze cutting off his words. "Don't overthink it. I admit this move was indeed intended to demoralize you, but I never considered it this deeply."
"However... what you said is true!"
"This Grand Commandant has no fear of bearing a bad reputation, but I have never truly intended to harm these innocent people. You might as well calculate carefully... whether these people died more at your hands or at the hands of my Qin army?"
"I can attest to that!" Wang Jian interjected with a smile, teasingly saying, "This kid isn't brainless, he just doesn't want to use it. But if he had used his brain to plan, today's outcome... would have been a hundred times more cruel than this."
Outsiders may not understand a wicked husband, but he does... This guy is full of wicked schemes, let's see what he's got... There's not a clean spot in his belly.
Li Fu frowned upon hearing his wicked husband's words, his anger rising even higher. His face was pale, but he still stared firmly at his wicked husband, a cold smile appearing in his eyes: "If it weren't for the powerful army of your Qin state, and your reckless actions, this would have happened."
The wicked man wasn't angry; instead, he spoke with a hint of mockery: "The victor is king, the loser is a bandit. If you're so good, you try it yourself... If not, shut up." His tone was calm, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.
Chestnut clenched his teeth; clearly, his wicked husband's indifference and threats made him feel an unprecedented sense of oppression. But he also knew that his wicked husband was right.
"You wicked man, you will not have a good end... Your methods are even more ruthless than Bai Qi's, and your fate will be a hundred times more tragic," Li Fu said angrily, his tone full of provocation.
The wicked man chuckled softly, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "I don't know what my fate will be, but your fate and that of the Yan Kingdom are right before our eyes!"
Li Fu was deeply stung by his husband's words, and he couldn't help but sneer: "Do you really think Qin can always be so successful? Your tyranny will eventually provoke a rebellion, and then... will you be able to control it?"
The wicked man's smile did not diminish in the slightest. He glanced at Chun Ning and then turned away.
Chun Ning stepped forward and said expressionlessly, "Prime Minister... let's go." As he spoke, he slowly raised the battle sword in his hand.
Chun Ning gripped the hilt of her knife, its cold light flashing, and the atmosphere suddenly froze. A trace of extreme resentment and anger flashed in Li Fu's eyes. He stared intently at the wicked husband and Wang Jian, but he was still powerless to change the situation before him.
"Prime Minister, farewell." Chun Ning said coldly, raising the knife in her hand slightly, the blade gleaming coldly in the moonlight.
Li Fu remained silent, a complex emotion flickering in his eyes. His body trembled slightly, but a cold smile still played on his lips: "The Qin Kingdom... will surely be overthrown because of its tyranny..."
Chun Ning lowered her head, her eyes flashing with cold light. She swung her battle sword fiercely, the cold light flashing like lightning slicing through the night sky.
"Prime Minister... I'll see you off."
"No..." Faced with death, a look of fear flashed in Chestnut's eyes. He suddenly exerted his strength and struggled to escape, but he was tightly bound. His strength seemed pale and powerless under the suppression of the soldiers.
Chestnut-belly gritted his teeth and said, his voice filled with intense anger and resentment, "You will all pay the price for this!"
Chun Ning remained silent as the blade flashed, slicing through the air and aimed straight for Li Fu's throat.
"laugh--"
The blade pierced through with unerring precision. Instantly, a look of astonishment and indescribable pain flashed in Chestnut's eyes. However, as blood gushed out, his eyes gradually lost focus, and the light of his life quickly faded away.
"Noisy!" Chun Ning said coldly, her eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.
Wang Jian stood aside, remained silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "Take him away, take his head, and keep it to prove our military achievements after our triumphant return."
Chun Ning grinned and nodded slightly, signaling the soldier to take Li Fu's corpse away.
"The general trend of the world... how can human power stop it?" Wang Jian said softly, his eyes filled with contemplation. "Perhaps this is the ruthlessness of war: the victor gains the world, and the loser only dies."
Upon hearing this, the wicked man sneered: "No matter how much he struggles, the fate of the Yan Kingdom is already sealed. What can his struggles change?"
Wang Jian gazed deeply into the distance. The night wind billowed his cloak, and he seemed to sense an invisible force rising quietly. A complex expression flashed in his eyes.
