We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

As soon as Li Che finished speaking, Qiu Bai behind him drew his sword in a flash.

laugh--

In just a moment, the manager saw a cold light in front of his eyes and felt a chill on his neck.

He was about to say something else when he suddenly felt his vision begin to tilt, and the figure of the young man in front of him gradually moved downwards.

Then there was a dizzying feeling, and in the last second before he lost consciousness, all he heard were screams.

Perhaps Qiu Bai was not strong enough, and the sword failed to completely cut off the head, and half of it was still connected to the torso.

Seeing this, Hu Qiang stuffed the pancake in his arms, stepped forward and grabbed the manager's hair.

With a light lift, a head was torn off with a teeth-grinding sound of bones breaking.

Hu Qiang walked to Li Che's side, holding the bloody head, and offered it with both hands with a silly smile: "Your Highness, this is the head you asked for."

Li Che covered Qiu Wen's eyes with his hands and looked at Hu Qiang helplessly.

This kid is honest, but he is too honest. He follows orders without hesitation.

He suppressed the fear in his heart and forced himself to stare at the head with its eyes open.

This was the first time he had come into such close contact with a dead person, and the person was killed by his own order.

Although he had killed someone before, the guy fell to the ground too quickly and I didn't get a close look.

Unlike now, even the facial features can be seen clearly. The disgusting smell of blood drilled into his nose and almost made him vomit.

He tried his best to suppress his anger, picked up the head and threw it at a tooth dealer.

The ivory dealer was startled and sat on the ground with his head trembling in his arms and his legs limp.

"Go, deliver this great gift to your master." Li Che tried his best to make his voice sound calm, "Tell him that I'm here waiting for his return gift."

The tooth dealer's eyes were dull, as if he was frightened and stood there in a daze.

Seeing Li Che frown slightly, Qiu Bai understood what he meant, took a step forward, and pierced the tooth dealer's throat with a sword.

Qiu Bai lifted the head of the steward from the dealer's arms and looked at the others with a sinister grin, "Is there anyone still able to move?"

As he spoke, he shook off the blood on the sword.

A brave tooth dealer quickly stood up, took the head, and ran out like crazy.

"There are still some smart ones." Qiu Bai smiled and looked at Li Che, "Your Highness, what should we do with these remaining cubs?"

Li Che looked at the tooth dealers and saw that they all had pale faces and pleading expressions.

Li Che had no expression on his face and uttered two words coldly:

"killed!"

"Yes!" Qiu Bai bowed and accepted the order, licked his lips, and raised the sword in his hand again.

Blood splattered everywhere, and several tooth dealers collapsed to the ground in a pool of blood.

Li Che quickly walked to the outside of the wooden cage where the little girl was, reached out and pulled the gate of the wooden cage, but it didn't move.

"Aqiang, open the door."

Hu Qiang took a step forward, grabbed the gate, and pulled it back suddenly.

The gate shattered into pieces in an instant, and wood chips flew everywhere.

Li Che reached out and carried the little girl out.

Uncle Yang quickly took off his coat and handed it over, and Li Che gently wrapped the little girl's body.

"Do you have a name?" Li Che asked softly.

The little girl looked at him numbly and said nothing.

Li Che frowned slightly. Could it be that those beasts made her mute?

The little girl frowned when she saw Li Che, as if she was frightened, and she struggled to jump out of Li Che's arms.

Li Che was stunned for a moment and was about to pick her up again.

But he saw the little girl standing barefoot on the ground, dancing her petite body skillfully, performing a charming Hu Xuan dance.

Li Che swallowed hard, anger rising in his heart: "Why are you treating yourself like this?"

"To survive." The foreign woman in the wooden cage beside him suddenly spoke.

Li Che looked at her, and she smiled miserably: "On ordinary days, if those beasts frown, we will be beaten."

"This little girl is also used to please the nobles. She knows that only by practicing dancing well can she avoid being beaten."

"You just frowned, which is why she did this."

Li Che was struck by lightning and stared at the little girl in a daze.

The little girl had a smile on her face, but that smile was empty and numb, without any beauty. Li Che only felt waves of fear.

Qian Bin's hands were shaking as he muttered, "This kind of beastly behavior is unheard of! They deserve heavenly punishment!"

Li Che slowly turned around and looked at the slaves in the room.

The eyes of those imprisoned in wooden cages were filled with numbness and despair.

Li Che took a deep breath and said, "Aqiang."

Hu Qiang stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I'm here."

"Tear down all these wooden cages."

"it is good."

Hu Qiang walked towards the wooden cages, grabbed the gates casually, and pulled them down easily as if he were removing building blocks.

The slaves regained their freedom, and some of them climbed out of the wooden cages in tears, thanking Li Che for saving their lives.

Some people seemed not to see it and continued to curl up in the wooden cage, even though the prison door in front of them was open.

Li Che walked forward, squatted beside a strong man, and asked softly: "The prison cell has been opened, why don't you leave?"

The sturdy man gave him a blank look and whispered, "Where can you escape to? You'll be caught again..."

Li Che nodded and said nothing more.

This man is useless. Even though the cage is destroyed, the shackles in his heart are still unbreakable.

Even a little girl knows how to struggle to survive. This strong man's heart is not as strong as the little girl's.

People who have no will to live are not worth saving, and you don't need such people under your command.

"Qiu Bai, gather those who are willing to go with me."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Li Che looked at the little girl again. At this moment, she had been picked up by Qiu Wen.

The little girl was so thin that she could hardly feel her weight, and even Qiuwen, a weak woman, could easily pick her up.

"If those children are homeless, take them away as well..." Li Che sighed softly.

My heart is still not hard enough...

However, although children are a burden, fortunately they are very malleable.

If you train them well, they will be of great use in the future.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

Wang Sanchun, who was standing at the door, walked in and bowed to report, "Your Highness, someone is coming this way."
