After our homes were confiscated and we were exiled, the women in my clan and I raised a million sol

The man's words were like sharp blades in the cold wind, piercing into the hearts of each of his men.

He looked around with a sharp gaze, as if he could see into everyone's heart.

Those subordinates were intimidated by this momentum and lowered their heads to avoid looking at him.

"Everyone should be well fed and well watered tonight. There might be a fierce battle in the evening!"

The man's voice was deep and firm, full of unquestionable power.

There was a fierce glint in his eyes that made people shudder.

When the men heard this, they trembled involuntarily.

They recalled the brutal acts committed by men in the past, and those bloody images lingered in their minds.

They nodded quickly to show their obedience.

After arranging these things, the man waved his hand and signaled his men to retreat.

They left one after another to gather their strength and prepare for the upcoming battle.

The man stayed alone and drew his sword.

He gently wiped the blade with a cloth, and a red light flashed in his eyes from time to time.

He murmured quietly, "It's almost time! It's almost time! I'll send that bastard to see you tonight!"

After saying this, he quietly looked at the cold light that flashed across the knife, as if waiting for some important moment to come.

After Ergouzi returned to the room, he carefully looked around and made sure that there was no one around. Then he took out a carrier pigeon, tied a note on its leg, and released it.

Not long after, Wang Wu received the news from Ergouzi. He immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and quickly found Zhong Zheng and Liu Yu and told them the news of the man's upcoming action.

The three of them looked solemn, knowing that they had to report this information to Zhang Liang as soon as possible.

"Now we must tell the lord this news."

Liu Yu whispered, his tone full of urgency.

Upon hearing this, Wang Wu and Zhong Zheng nodded in agreement. The three of them then stood up and walked quickly towards Zhang Liang's residence.

At this time, Zhang Liang had just finished his official business and was sitting in the courtyard of his home, enjoying a moment of tranquility, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand and sipping it gently.

Qin Youlan sat quietly beside him, carefully adding tea for him. The atmosphere between the two seemed particularly harmonious.

At first, when Zhang Liang saw Qin Youlan, he had a thought of escaping. After all, he had been deliberately avoiding contact with her in the past few days to avoid the embarrassment of being urged to get married again.

But on second thought, he felt a little guilty for avoiding her for several days, so he decided to stay and drink tea with her, enjoying this rare peace.

Fortunately, Qin Youlan did not mention the marriage this time, but just accompanied him quietly. This made Zhang Liang secretly relieved, and the tension in his heart also dissipated a lot.

Zhang Liang had just put down his teacup when a maid hurried into the courtyard. She bowed to Zhang Liang and Qin Youlan and said, "Young Master, General Liu and the other two want to see you now."

Hearing this, Zhang Liang nodded slightly and gestured, "Bring them in."

There was a barely perceptible seriousness in his tone.

Qin Youlan heard this and immediately stood up and said softly, "Uncle, I'll leave first."

Zhang Liang nodded again and secretly decided in his heart that this matter involved a man's revenge. In order not to make Qin Youlan worry, it would be better not to let her know.

He looked at Qin Youlan's departing back gently until her figure disappeared outside the door, then he withdrew his gaze.

As soon as Qin Youlan left, Liu Hu and others walked in quickly.

Wang Wu said to Zhang Liang anxiously, "My lord, that man is about to take action."

"Do we need to inform General Yan and General Zeng later and ask them to dispatch some Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to protect you? After all, these people are here to seek revenge on you."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden exclamation from the side.

Turning around, they found that it was Qin Youlan who came back with a plate of snacks. It seemed that she had heard what they had just said.

Her expression changed slightly, obviously shocked by the news.

Zhang Liang noticed the worry in Qin Youlan's eyes, smiled and waved his hand, saying to her, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I will make all the necessary preparations."

After hearing his words, Qin Youlan nodded, but the worry in her eyes could not be dispelled.

But since Zhang Liang has already said so, I can only suppress this bit of worry.

After putting down the snacks, Qin Youlan turned and left, but she kept looking back as she left, obviously still worried.

After Qin Youlan's figure completely disappeared, Zhang Liang said to Wang Wu and the others, "Zhong Zheng, please prepare a small courtyard. I will stay there tonight."

"You let our people lead those people to that small courtyard."

Zhong Zheng immediately nodded and said, "Yes, my lord."

He knew the importance of this matter and dared not slack off in the slightest.

Zhang Liang then turned to look at Wang Wu and Liu Hu and continued, "And you two, go inform Yan Sheng and Zeng Guodong and have them mobilize a team of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to ambush near that hut."

"Once those people arrive, we'll destroy them all."

Hearing Zhang Liang's words, Wang Wu and Liu Hu immediately nodded and said in unison, "We understand. Please rest assured, my lord."

After discussing the general details, Wang Wu and the other two left immediately.

They knew time was running out and they had to act quickly.

The entire courtyard returned to tranquility again, with only Zhang Liang sitting there quietly, a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

Before long, Wang Wu and his team had everything ready.

At the same time, Zhang Liang also came to the courtyard and sat there quietly sipping tea, as if waiting for a long-lost friend to visit, with no fear or urgency on his face.

After a period of rest, the man and his men were ready to go.

The man looked around at his men, his eyes revealing a cold glint. He warned again, "If any of you dare to drag your feet this time, I will kill you."

Then the man changed the subject, a smile appeared on his face again, and he said, "But if you can get rid of that person, I won't be stingy with the reward!"

Feeling the strong murderous aura emanating from the man, the subordinates nodded in agreement.

One of the men said viciously, "I'll chop that guy into pieces!"

Another subordinate echoed, "That's right, don't worry, boss!"

Hearing these words, the man nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at Er Gouzi and said to him, "Er Gouzi, lead the way for me now."

After hearing the man's words, Er Gouzi showed a flattering expression and quickly responded: "Boss, please follow me, I will take you there right away."

As night fell, the entire Ninggu City was shrouded in silence, with only the occasional sound of the wind breaking the tranquility.

At this time, Zhang Liang in the house was getting a little impatient because he had been waiting for too long.

He stood up, stretched, and said helplessly, "Why are these people so slow? Are they not planning to come today?"

After saying this, Zhang Liang couldn't help laughing out loud.

After all, no one has ever been so calm when he knows that someone wants to take revenge on him and kill him. He would not run away immediately, but would even stand there hoping that he would come quickly.

He raised his head and looked at the night sky quietly.

There was no moonlight tonight, and large patches of fog covered the entire sky, making the entire Ninggu City look even more eerie and terrifying.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Liang murmured softly, "It's a dark, windy night, perfect for murder. Today is indeed a good day to kill and bury a body."

After watching for a while, Zhang Liang picked up the pastries on the table and took a few bites.

Having waited here for so long, he was already hungry.
