The man directed his men to rush towards Zhang Liang, attracting the attention of those on the wall.

His voice was filled with madness and despair, as if he had already seen the scene of his own victory.

While slowly backing away, he approached the direction of the dog hole.

At this moment, among those men, one person's eyes were fixed on the man's every move, and this person was the undercover Er Gouzi.

After noticing his action, Ergouzi narrowed his eyes and then walked in his direction.

Just as the man came to the dog hole, a hint of humiliation flashed in his eyes.

After all, how could a man go through a dog hole? But if he didn't go through a dog hole, he would only die.

Thinking of this, the man's face immediately became ferocious.

He then gritted his teeth and whispered, "Damn Zhang Liang! You deserve to die just like your father! After I leave, I will report this to the court, have you apprehended, and repay today's humiliation a hundredfold."

After he finished speaking, a younger brother who was shot by an arrow covered his chest and slowly retreated to his side. He then grabbed the man and said with a painful look on his face, "Boss!"

Seeing his appearance, the man pushed him away in disgust, then bent down without hesitation and crawled towards the dog hole.

The man originally crawled into the dog hole with hope. However, when his body was stuck in the hole, half inside and half outside, he suddenly felt an ominous premonition.

A strong sense of anxiety surged in his heart, and he kept muttering: "It's almost there, it's almost there, just a few more steps to get out."

With this eager mood, the man's movements became faster and more powerful.

However, just when he thought he was about to escape successfully, a powerful force came from behind him, as if something was grabbing his ankle tightly, trying to drag him back.

The man's face turned pale in an instant, and the strength in his hands involuntarily increased a bit. He struggled desperately, hoping to break free from the restraints.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not resist the force coming from behind.

He felt his body being pulled back into the courtyard little by little, and the despair in his heart surged like a tide.

In the blink of an eye, the man was pulled completely back into the courtyard.

The man who was suddenly dragged back to the courtyard turned his head with a fierce look on his face, his eyes as sharp as a knife, trying to find out who dared to ruin his good deeds.

However, when he saw that the man was Ergouzi, a hint of surprise and confusion flashed in his eyes.

Ergouzi has been very loyal these days, which makes the man very confused. He doesn't understand why he suddenly attacked him.

Filled with questions and anger, the man quickly got up from the ground, grabbed Er Gouzi by the collar, pulled him close, and asked in a low but stern voice, "What on earth do you want to do?"

His voice was full of doubt and anger, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with Ergouzi's behavior.

However, there was no trace of panic or guilt on Er Gouzi's face. His tone was calm and even, as if he was answering a very common question: "Boss, where do you want to go? Are you trying to escape?"

After hearing Ergouzi's words, the man frowned slightly and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

He said in a deep voice: "How could I possibly escape? I'm just going to get help!"

"Er Gouzi, you should know that among all these people, the one I admire most is you! You must not let me down!"

His words were full of trust and expectations for Ergouzi, hoping that he could understand his difficulties.

However, Ergouzi raised a sneer on his face, and his eyes revealed disdain and ridicule.

"Boss, your words are really nice to hear."

He said slowly.

"If I were an ordinary person, after hearing what you said, I would probably be moved to tears."

His words made the man feel something was wrong, and an inexplicable uneasiness surged in his heart.

Then, the man immediately grabbed Er Gouzi's neck and asked sternly, "What do you mean?"

His actions were swift and decisive, and it was obvious that he had developed deep suspicion of Ergouzi.

After coughing a few times, Ergouzi showed a strange smile on his face.

"I wonder if you really don't pay attention to your subordinates?"

He smiled and said, "I'm obviously not your subordinate, but you didn't realize this. How pathetic!"

His words made the man understand everything instantly. His eyes widened, his face full of astonishment and anger.

"No wonder the investigation was so quick! It turned out to be you! It's you who's behind this!"

The man roared, his voice filled with shock and anger.

The man stared at Ergouzi's mocking face, burning with anger, wishing he could eat him alive.

He never expected that the subordinate he valued most would be from Zhang Liang's side.

This discovery filled him with remorse and anger, and he involuntarily increased the strength in his hands, wanting to strangle the traitor to death.

Er Gouzi felt the force gradually tightening on his neck, and his eyes began to become unfocused, but a disdainful smile still hung on his face, as if mocking the man's powerlessness and despair.

The man looked at that smile and became even more furious. He gnashed his teeth and roared, "What the hell are you laughing at, you damned fellow! You're about to die!"

However, just as he finished speaking, an arrow suddenly flew from a distance and pierced his arm.

Severe pain spread throughout his body in an instant, and the man had to let go of the hand that was pinching Ergouzi's neck.

Ergouzi took the opportunity to fall to the ground, covering his neck and coughing continuously, with a hint of provocation and sarcasm on his face.

The man covered his injured arm and took a few steps back in pain, with disbelief flashing in his eyes.

After a while, Ergouzi slowly got up from the ground. Although his body was a little shaky, his eyes revealed determination and coldness.

He walked to the side, picked up a knife, and smashed the man's head and body with the back of the knife, making sure that the man had lost the ability to resist.

Afterwards, Ergouzi dragged the man who could no longer move and placed him in front of his men.

He shouted to the crowd, "Your boss is already dying, do you still want to continue resisting?"

His voice echoed in the courtyard with an unquestionable majesty.

After hearing his words, all the men who were still resisting stopped.

They looked at the man with a bloody head and bruised face in horror, their hearts filled with confusion and fear.

However, when they thought that they might not escape death even if they surrendered, they clenched their knives tightly and decided to fight to the end.

After all, for them, resistance might give them a glimmer of hope, while surrender would mean complete failure and death.

At this moment, Zhang Liang slowly spoke, his voice calm and firm, echoing in every corner of the courtyard.

"Put down your weapons now, and I will forgive you and spare your lives."

"If you continue to resist, you'll all die. It's just that if we kill you all, our losses will be a bit greater."

After hearing these words, the subordinates who originally wanted to resist to the end began to waver.

They looked at each other, with a hint of hesitation and fear in their eyes.

Finally, driven by the instinct of survival, they laid down their weapons one by one and gave up resistance.

The entire courtyard suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of swords falling to the ground and the occasional gasp.
