There was a shortage of water in the village, so the way to wake Batur up was to whip him hard.
When Sha Si whipped Batur, his clothes were torn and a blood mark appeared.
"ah--"
Batur screamed and was then tied to a wooden stake in the yard.
The scorching sun beat down on his head.
Batur was trembling all over and opened his eyes in fear.
"Young Master...you——"
Seeing Li Qingluo, Batur could hardly hide his surprise.
Li Qingluo: "Are you surprised to see that I'm still safe and sound?"
"Batur, you are indeed a traitor."
A look of panic flashed across Batur's face.
But he has been in this desert for decades, so how could he give in so easily?
He quickly calmed down his panic and shouted, "Young Master, I... I am wronged..."
"It was the guards around you who suddenly went crazy and killed Lord Yalikun! I was unable to stop them."
"He falsely accused me of being a traitor, but I couldn't stop those people who suddenly jumped out to kidnap you. How can you conclude that I betrayed you?"
"Thank goodness, Young Master, you are safe and sound. Even if I have to endure some hardship, it won't matter."
Hearing that he was still quibbling, Zhui Yu calmly drew his sword.
The sword light was as cold as ice, and Batur trembled all over with fear.
"What else do you want to do?"
"Do you still want to commit murder in front of the young master?"
"What a jerk!"
Li Qingluo: "Shut up! You're the bastard!"
"You're still trying to quibble."
"I heard your accomplices say with my own ears that you wanted to sacrifice me to Nabaza. Batur, you deserve to die!"
"If I can kill your accomplice, I can kill you too."
"Liu Li, come out!"
The surrendered Han people then walked in with their heads lowered.
When he saw Liu Li and realized that this yard was Liu Li's home, Batur's face changed drastically.
He almost burst out cursing, but finally held it back.
Batur cried aggrievedly, "Young Master, I've been loyal to the company all these years... Even if I haven't made any contributions, I've certainly worked hard, right?"
"Yet you believed the words of the treacherous man and easily put such a big accusation on me!"
"Have you forgotten how I diligently brought you into the desert, through the sandstorm, and into Eagle City?"
"If I wanted to betray you, I would have sold you out to the city lord long ago, or I would have let you die in the desert. Why would I go through all this trouble with you, and end up getting myself into trouble?"
"Does the old boss know that you treat me like this? God has eyes, don't you fear divine punishment?"
"The old boss has handed the business over to a young boss like you who can't tell right from wrong and doesn't know good from bad. I think our Tianfeng Business won't last long in the future. It will be destroyed by a foolish girl like you sooner or later!"
Li Qingluo listened to his distortion of right and wrong without saying a word, but Liu Li couldn't stand it anymore.
"Batur, shut up!"
"I told the young master everything."
"You want to separate the Tianfeng Trading Company in the Western Region. You want to control all the shops and businesses in the Western Region in your own hands."
"You've clearly amassed a lot of wealth over the years, yet you're still not content."
"Back then, the old boss not only saved your life, but also saved mine."
"So, I can't be ungrateful."
"I just couldn't find the right opportunity to expose you, and I had no choice but to succumb to your tyranny and dared not speak a word."
"But seeing that there will be a master like the Young Master in the future, I dare to risk it all. I will not be afraid of you!"
"You brought the Young Master and his men to Eagle City safely, wasn't it because you didn't get the Young Master's seal and token? Once you get these things, you plan to present the Young Master to Lord Bazaar."
"In the end, you don't care whether the young master and his family live or die."
"You got what you wanted anyway."
"Batur, your ambition has been fully exposed. The young master is a man who can distinguish right from wrong and has long known your evil ambitions."
"You're still trying to quibble, but you're nothing but a clown!"
Batur's mask was completely torn off.
He stopped pretending.
With a ferocious face, he roared in anger: "I will kill you——"
"Liu Li, you are a Han Chinese who settled down in Yingcheng. If it weren't for my care for you over the years, would you have been able to marry, have children, and live a peaceful life here?"
"Now you're betraying me!"
"You cowardly traitor, what good are you?"
"You killed someone in the Central Plains and fled to the Western Regions, hiding here and there for all these years. Do you think you can wash the blood off your hands?"
"You are a heinous criminal. Even if she believes you today, she will never believe someone like you who is already guilty of original sin in the future!"
“Haha, haha, hahahaha——”
Liu Li's face turned pale and blue.
He hardly dared to look up at the young master, but just trembled his shoulders and tried very hard to suppress his anger.
"Look after?"
"Your care is to suppress me with all your might, so that I have been just a manager for many years?"
"I just revitalized a shop, and right after, you sent me to a desolate place! This has happened to you at least once over the years."
"It's obvious that I like this woman, but you turned around and took her as your concubine."
"Even if I married my current wife, she would be a mute, unable to shout or speak. Would you be able to flirt with her while I'm away?"
