"Pooh!"
Zhang Liang swept his gaze coldly across the room, spitting out a mouthful of blood that landed directly on the face of the jailer who was aiding and abetting the tyrant.
"Damn it, you dare insult your father? I'll fucking beat you to death, you piece of trash!"
The jailer wiped away the blood and then violently struck Zhang Liang's body with the clamps.
This caused even this physically gifted wandering swordsman to be beaten until his limbs twitched.
"Stop hitting him! If you kill him, it'll be too easy on him!"
Lü Ying hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.
Zhang Liang's son, Lü Ling, walked directly up to him, revealing a morbidly sinister smile. "Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang, weren't you so smug? Huh? Back in the day, that little girl dressed in flowers tried to seduce me on the street, and I granted her wish. Before I could even do anything with her, you stepped forward to play the hero, didn't you? Huh? You've got guts, haven't you?"
"I hate it, I hate that I didn't kill you, you beast, in the street that day... cough cough..."
"Damn it, still dare to talk back!"
Lu Ling flew into a rage and slapped him hard across the face. "Today, I'll make you taste the pain I felt back then! Grab him and take him to the execution chamber!"
"promise!"
In less than a moment.
Zhang Liang lay on the table, his clothes tattered, his body covered in wounds.
"Someone, feed him a few eggs first, then apply some ointment! We can't let him die of pain during the execution."
"promise!"
After the jailer beside him had completed all the preparations, he immediately picked up a sharp knife from the table next to him. It was about seven inches long and had traces of blood from bone removal on the blade, so it seemed to be a knife that was used specifically for bone removal in the past.
"Hehehe, this is my first time castrating someone today. I've been practicing on animals before, so I might have used a bit too much force. Please bear with the pain!"
"Ah...ah!"
Zhang Liang closed his eyes, but strangely, he didn't feel any pain. Instead, he heard other people screaming.
"Master Zifang, we are late! You have suffered!"
"Long Er?"
He opened his eyes again, a hint of relief at surviving the ordeal in his eyes. "That was close, Long Er. If you had arrived a moment later, I, Zhang Liang, might have committed suicide because I couldn't bear the humiliation!"
"Ah, this is all thanks to Lord Han. He took advantage of the terrain and used the power of the river to break through the city gate. Then the brothers came to attack, and it only took half an hour to completely take down Julu County!"
"Lord Han? Could it be Han Xin, the prime minister's most accomplished disciple?"
"It is indeed this person!"
"When I first arrived in Julu, I found the terrain to be quite ingenious and highly useful. I never imagined that someone would share my thoughts. This Han Xin truly deserves to be called the Prime Minister's outstanding disciple!"
Zhang Liang couldn't help but sigh a few times, and then, with Long Er's help, he got dressed.
Then, with the help of Qin soldiers, he walked out of the prison.
Outside the prison.
It's already a complete mess.
Under this massive flood...
With officials and soldiers acting as accomplices to the enemy, how could they possibly be focused on their duties?
Everyone was anxious about their own lives and property, and each acted independently. As a result, no sooner had Lü Ying and his son escaped than they were blocked at the prison gate by the restless crowd.
"Long San, organize a team to help drain the floodwater in the city."
"promise!"
"The rest of you, seize the Lü father and son!"
"promise!"
"What are you doing? Release me! Release me! I am a distant relative of Lü Buwei, the former prime minister who once dominated the Qin political arena. You have offended me, so don't blame His Majesty Lü Zheng for exterminating your entire clan!"
"What an arrogant old scoundrel! How dare he insult His Majesty's bloodline! Kill him!"
Han Xin drew his sword and pierced his throat with a single stroke.
"Anyone who insults His Majesty shall have their entire family exterminated!"
"kill!"
"Don't kill me, don't kill me! My father is crazy! My father is crazy! I'm not crazy! I'm a good person! I've never hurt anyone! It was my father who did all that! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
Lu Ling collapsed to the ground, watching helplessly as her own father was stabbed to death by Han Xin, who was riding on horseback.
He immediately gave up the will to resist.
He knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, trying to beg for mercy.
"Haha, you really are a very filial son. If your father were alive, he would be very pleased to know how dutiful you are, wouldn't he?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I am a filial son, I am a filial son!"
"Since you're so filial, and your father is already dead, then go down and keep him company, so he won't be lonely in the afterlife!"
"Ah...no!"
His pupils widened suddenly, and before they could contract, a sharp sword pierced his chest.
"Issue the order: Han will temporarily act as the magistrate of Julu County, effective immediately. Anyone who disobeys Han's orders will be executed without mercy. Anyone who colludes with the Lü clan's traitorous faction will be executed without mercy. Anyone who opposes the imperial decrees will be executed without mercy!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"What a fine Han Xin! He truly deserves to be the brilliant student of the Prime Minister, whose wisdom and strategies are beyond compare. Seeing him now, I, Zhang, am quite envious of his might!"
With the help of the Qin soldiers, Zhang Liang witnessed Han Xin's moment of glory and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
At this moment, Han Xin had just filled the emptiness in his heart with this huge sense of satisfaction, and instantly regained his confidence in life. Perhaps the inferiority he had in his earlier years had already gone away from him forever?
