Quack!
The frog at the bottom of the well croaked again.
Li Huan chuckled: "That's right! You fucking stay in the mud and accept Buddha's punishment!"
"No! No!" Kumārajīva cried out with all his might, "This humble monk knows his mistake! Please, Alliance Leader Li, have mercy! Spare this humble monk's life!"
Li Huan said, "I have already shown you mercy, letting you experience the feeling of being a 'frog in a well,' and also letting you taste the deliciousness of being a 'frog in a well'!"
Pfft! Wang Yuyan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Murong Fu said to Duan Yu, "Young Master Duan, you have abundant internal energy. Quickly go and grab a huge rock to weigh down the well opening!"
Duan Yu said, "Kumārajīva has lost all his internal energy. No matter what, he cannot escape from the dry well. Why worry?!"
Murong Fu said, "Although Kumārajīva cannot escape from the dry well, farmers will pass by after dawn and will surely hear Kumārajīva's cries for help!"
Duan Yu nodded: "That makes sense... However, trapping Kumārajīva at the bottom of the well and letting him starve to death is too cruel..."
"Cruel?" Murong Fu sneered unhappily. "May I ask, Young Master Duan, who just ordered four Tibetan warriors to move stones to the foot of the mountain to block the well?"
“Kumārajīva!” Duan Yu replied.
Murong Fu asked, "Does Young Master Duan think that Kumārajīva's methods are cruel or not?"
"Cruel!" Duan Yu's eyes blazed with anger.
Wang Yuyan said angrily, "Kumārajīva, as a monk, assisted the Tibetan prince in applying for the position of consort of the Western Xia, and poisoned my cousin and Young Master Duan. His methods are more than just cruel!"
Murong Fu sighed: "Alas... Young Master Duan is too cowardly. I will personally move stones to weigh down the well opening!"
"Good!" Li Huan gave a thumbs up, deliberately praising, "As expected of the Murong Clan of Gusu, they used the enemy's own methods against him!"
Murong Fu changed the subject: "However, I suffered internal injuries earlier and I'm afraid I can't move any larger stones... Cousin, could you help me move them?"
“Okay!” Wang Yuyan agreed without hesitation, “I’ll lend my cousin a hand!”
Upon seeing this, Duan Yu quickly said, "Miss Wang is too frail to move the stone. Let me move it!"
After saying that, Duan Yu quickly left, heading towards the foot of the mountain.
"What an excellent sycophant!" Li Huan praised with admiration.
Murong Fu said, "Fortunately, Alliance Leader Li arrived in time; otherwise, I would not have been able to attend the banquet at Xihua Palace tomorrow, nor would I have been able to propose to the princess!"
Instantly, Wang Yuyan's eyes dimmed slightly.
Li Huan thought to himself, "It wasn't that Laozi arrived in time, but rather that Kumārajīva arrived in time, coincidentally disrupting Murong Fu's plan and stopping his attempt to kill Duan Yu."
"If Young Master Murong dies, and Xu Zhu becomes the Prince Consort of Xixia, who will I ask for money to buy five thousand boxed meals?"
Li Huan deliberately teased Murong Fu, looking directly into his eyes.
Murong Fu's expression was solemn: "If I unfortunately perish, after Xu Zhu becomes the Prince Consort of Western Xia, Bao Butong will surely fulfill the bet and offer 500,000 taels of silver to buy 5,000 boxed meals from Alliance Leader Li!"
"The Murong clan of Gusu believes that a gentleman's word is as good as his bond, and we never break our promises. This is my principle in life!"
Murong Fu's tone became firm and powerful, displaying an awe-inspiring righteousness.
Li Huan said, "You have countless riches, enough to rival a country. You could live a carefree life in Yanziwu, Suzhou. Why do you insist on becoming the son-in-law of the Western Xia? Why do you have to break Miss Wang's heart?"
Murong Fu looked at Wang Yuyan: "My difficulties should be understood by my cousin."
Wang Yuyan lowered her eyes and remained silent.
She knew perfectly well what Murong Fu's true purpose was in wanting to become the son-in-law of the Western Xia emperor.
"Alliance Leader Li, please have mercy! This humble monk knows his mistake... knows his mistake..."
Kumārajīva continued to cry out for mercy from inside the dry well, his voice growing increasingly hoarse.
A few minutes later, Duan Yu returned carrying two huge rocks.
Good heavens, these two boulders weigh several thousand kilograms each!
This shows that Duan Yu's strength greatly increased after absorbing Kumārajīva's internal energy!
Thud! Thud!
Duan Yu placed two huge stones down, firmly pressing them down on the well opening.
The boulder was so heavy that it crushed the blue bricks at the wellhead.
Even if Kumārajīva had not lost his profound internal strength, he would not have been able to break the two boulders from the bottom of the well.
Duan Yu asked, "Second Brother, should we add a few more stones?"
Damn, they claimed it was too cruel before, and now they want to add more stones.
Duan Yu was born to "pursue Wang Yuyan" and "win Wang Yuyan's heart".
Murong Fu said, "There's no need to weigh down the stones anymore. We should pick some branches to cover them up!"
After speaking, Murong Fu walked towards a large tree.
He examined the tree trunk and declared loudly, "If I am not injured internally, I can break this tree in two with my bare hands!"
Seeing Murong Fu's pretentious manner, Li Huan's palms itched, and he almost slapped him.
Murong Fu stared at the big tree, pretending to practice his internal energy.
Wang Yuyan hurriedly said, "Cousin, please do not use your inner energy, lest you aggravate your internal injuries! Please ask Alliance Leader Li to strike the tree down!"
Murong Fu then said, "Very well, Alliance Leader Li's martial arts are unparalleled; breaking a large tree is effortless for him!"
boom!
Li Huan used the "Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms" to easily break the tree, which then crashed to the ground.
"Excellent palm technique!" Murong Fu complimented with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, Li Huan dragged the large tree and placed it horizontally in the location of the dry well.
In this way, passersby would hardly notice the huge stone covering the dry well.
Murong Fu hurriedly reminded him, "Alliance Leader Li, Kumārajīva has brought four Tibetan warriors!"
Li Huan pointed to the roadside: "There's a warrior here, and three more lying at the foot of the mountain!"
Murong Fu said, "They should all be thrown into the dry well!"
Li Huan said, "Don't be ruthless. The four Tibetan warriors didn't deserve to die."
Murong Fu said, "Although their crime doesn't warrant death, they will inform us."
As he spoke, Murong Fu walked to the roadside and kicked the skinny warrior in the chest.
Snap! The skinny warrior died instantly.
Murong Fu said, "Young Master Duan, you still have plenty of energy. You can kill the other three Tibetan warriors!"
Duan Yu hesitated.
Li Huan instructed, "Fourth brother, go back to the foot of the mountain, tie the hands and feet of those three warriors, silence them by striking their pressure points, and then throw them into the ditch."
Duan Yu agreed and left again.
Murong Fu stood in front of the large tree that blocked the dry well and the boulder, listening carefully.
"Hahaha, Kumārajīva's cries for help can't reach the well opening at all, so we can rest easy!"
Li Huan cursed inwardly!
You damn hypocrite! You're the one who can rest easy!
Without Kumārajīva's assistance, the Tibetan prince will find it difficult to stir up trouble at tomorrow's palace banquet.
A moment later.
Duan Yu hurriedly returned.
"Second brother, I have tied the hands and feet of those three Tibetan warriors and thrown them into the ravine."
Li Huan grunted in agreement and raised his hand, saying, "Withdraw!"
Duan Yu hurriedly said, "Wait! We haven't caught the frog yet!"
Li Huan raised an eyebrow: "Catch a frog? How about I throw the kid back into the well and catch that frog instead?"
Duan Yu waved his hand: "No need, no need. Leave that frog for Kumārajīva to eat."
He obediently followed Li Huan, heading towards the hotel in the city...
