After the emperor was captured, he was taken into a room where there were other beggars besides the emperor.
Everyone looked dejected.
After pushing the emperor into the room, the servants locked the door from the outside.
"Where is this? Why are those people arresting people?" the Emperor asked the crowd as he sat up from the ground.
His face looked very pale.
“We don’t know what these people were thinking. They were just begging on the street, and they ended up being dragged here,” a beggar nearby replied, looking pale and sickly.
"What's even more hateful is that they haven't given us any food for three days. I think they want to starve us to death."
The other beggars remained silent simply to conserve their energy.
"I was also inexplicably caught up in a random excuse."
"These damn benefactors, I'm already a beggar, and they still make my life so miserable."
The emperor was also furious upon hearing this.
He was originally a good emperor, but he ended up in this state.
On the other side, after the butler entered the mansion, he headed towards a courtyard.
A hint of joy appeared on his face.
He has fulfilled his master's instructions, and he will surely be rewarded.
A short while later, they entered a courtyard and walked towards the person sitting in the main seat.
"Young Master, all the men are ready."
"Well, that's good. We've invited quite a few brothers this time, so we can have a good time," the young master said with a smile, a hint of satisfaction on his face.
"Well done, go and collect your reward." The young master then said to the steward sitting below him.
Upon hearing this, the butler quickly expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you for the reward, Your Highness." After saying that, he left with an excited expression.
Three days later
"Hurry up, all of you, come out here."
"If you keep dawdling, I'll give you a beating."
“You have delayed the master’s important business, and none of you will be spared.”
...
The previously closed door was opened from the outside, and a group of servants went inside, urging the beggars to follow them out.
The emperor was no exception and was also taken away.
The group was then taken to a grove of trees.
After bringing the person there, the servants all left.
The beggars, who had been starving for several days, also looked weak.
Although I don't understand the current situation, I couldn't have imagined so much.
Hunger consumed their thoughts.
The emperor and the beggars here were naturally no different.
However, compared to the beggars, they were naturally more wary, observing their surroundings.
"Today, let's see who shoots the most."
"Alright, since that's the case, there should be a prize. Take this dagger of mine that can cut through iron like mud."
"I'll take this jade pendant and give it a shout-out."
"Alright, alright, since you're all here, I'll join in the fun too."
...
The group rode on horseback from the other end of the woods.
Everyone looked excited, carrying bows and arrows on their backs, and each person's arrows were marked with a unique symbol.
Upon approaching the beggar, the nobles' eyes lit up, and they dispersed.
One of them aimed and fired at a beggar.
"Whoosh!" The arrow flew out.
It shot directly into the beggar's right chest.
"Ugh!" The beggar screamed and collapsed to the ground.
"What's going on?!"
"Someone's dead! Someone's dead!"
"Run!"
...
The beggars who were originally scattered in the woods were frightened by this sudden change and ran away in all directions.
Even the emperor was running. At this moment, no one showed any signs of the dejection that had persisted for days without food. In this life-or-death situation, they all burst forth with strength, running and hiding desperately.
However, even so, two legs cannot outrun a horse, and soon a nobleman caught up with them.
"call out!"
"call out!"
"call out!"
Several beggars fell to the ground.
The emperor finally realized that the reason these people had captured them was simply for their own amusement!
They didn't care about their lives at all!
Realizing this, the emperor desperately tried to dodge and escape.
However, the sound of horses' hooves was gradually getting closer from behind...
"Haha, it's your turn." An arrow was aimed at the emperor's vital spot.
"Whoosh!" The arrow left the bowstring.
"Ugh!" The emperor's eyes widened to their limit as he stared at the arrow piercing his heart, then collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with resentment...
