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

Zeng Guodong lifted the woman up from the ground. His movements were rough and quick, as if she were just an insignificant object.

The woman struggled in his grasp, but it was in vain; her feet left the ground and her body swayed helplessly.

Zeng Guodong suppressed his anger, his eyes sharp as a knife, his voice low and threatening: "Where is our lord? Tell me!"

His tone was full of unquestionable command, as if the woman would suffer even more severe punishment if she did not answer immediately.

The woman's heart was filled with doubts and fears. She had no idea who the "lord" Zeng Guodong was talking about was.

She replied tremblingly, "Sir, who is your master? I don't know him."

Zeng Guodong frowned, obviously dissatisfied with the woman's answer.

He further explained: "It's the man who brought the two girls today. The old bald donkey said he sent them to you."

His words revealed his contempt for abstinence and his suspicion of women.

"Don't play tricks, otherwise..."

He paused deliberately, letting the woman imagine the unfinished threat herself.

Hearing these words, the woman's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, her face turned pale in an instant, and tears flowed uncontrollably again.

Only then did she realize that Zhang Liang's background was far more complicated and dangerous than she had imagined.

If she had known this earlier, she would never have provoked him.

Zeng Guodong stared coldly at the silent woman, mistaking her silence for a refusal to answer. Burning with rage, he raised his heavy hand again, ready to give her another, even more severe lesson.

The woman's eyes widened in horror, realizing that begging for mercy was urgent. She hurriedly shouted, "Sir, please don't hit me! That handsome boy is in that room!"

After saying that, she quickly stretched out her slender finger and pointed to a room in the distance.

Seeing this, Zeng Guodong suddenly pushed the woman into the hands of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers waiting behind him.

Then he turned around and led a team of elite soldiers towards the room the woman pointed to.

Zeng Guodong kicked the door open with one foot. The huge impact force caused the door panel to shatter instantly, making a deafening sound.

The scene in the room was clearly visible - several women were surrounding Zhang Liang, intending to attack him.

Their movements came to a halt when they heard a loud noise, and they all turned to look at the door in surprise.

The women who were about to start cursing were so frightened when they saw Zeng Guodong wearing armor and looking aggressive that they stood there in a daze, their lips slightly open but no sound coming out.

The air was filled with tension and anxiety, and even breathing seemed to become heavy.

Zeng Guodong's gaze swept across the room and finally landed on Zhang Liang, who was almost naked.

His face instantly darkened, and his eyes flashed with anger and dissatisfaction.

He strode into the room, his voice echoing like thunder: "How dare you guys do this to my lord?"

His words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of everyone present.

The women were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear and confusion. They obviously had not expected things to develop to this point.

Zeng Guodong stood in the center of the room, his eyes as sharp as a knife, as if he could see through everyone present.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner anger, but his tone was still icy cold: "Let him go immediately, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

After hearing Zeng Guodong's threat, the women's faces turned even paler, and they quickly retracted their hands from touching Zhang Liang, as if he was carrying some terrible virus.

They pushed each other, trying to get as far away from Zhang Liang as possible, and finally they all huddled in the corner of the room, their eyes filled with fear and anxiety.

Seeing this, Zeng Guodong strode to Zhang Liang and carefully put clothes on him.

However, when he saw Zhang Liang's powerless appearance, his worry and anger became even stronger.

"My Lord, what's wrong with you?"

Zeng Guodong asked anxiously, his voice full of concern and anxiety.

Zhang Liang opened his eyes slightly, his gaze somewhat dazed, but he still managed to concentrate and answer, "The bald donkey here drugged me, and now I feel weak all over."

His voice was weak and hoarse, as if every word required a huge effort.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Guodong frowned and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Zeng Guodong turned his head abruptly and shouted to his men behind him, "Hurry and bring that bald donkey outside in!"

His voice was filled with anger and urgency.

After hearing the order, Hubao immediately nodded in agreement and took quick action. Soon he dragged Jiesese into the room.

At this time, there were obvious scars on Jiesese's face, and it was obvious that he had suffered a lot of torture outside.

Seeing this, Zeng Guodong's rage intensified. He took a few steps forward and punched Jiesese hard in the face. Then he gritted his teeth and demanded, "What kind of poison did you give the lord? Where is the antidote?"

"Please tell me, otherwise you won't be able to live anymore."

Jie Se, who was beaten black and blue, barely endured the pain, raised his head with difficulty, and tried to explain: "Sir, I did this to prevent them from hurting those women..."

However, these words did not calm Zeng Guodong's anger, but made him even more impatient.

"I'm asking where the antidote is!"

As he said that, he slapped her again, interrupting Jiesexing's words.

"Why are you talking so much? Just tell me!"

Jiesexing's voice was trembling, with a barely perceptible cry in it: "I... I just gave you a little knockout drug. The antidote is with me. I beg you gentlemen to spare my life and stop beating me."

His words were full of fear and pleading. After all, he had never been treated like this since he became the host here.

Normally, those people would either call him "master" or "host" before meeting him. He had never seen such an unreasonable person before.

Hearing this, Zeng Guodong snorted coldly, obviously not completely believing what Jiesex said, but he still decided to get the antidote first.

He walked quickly to Jiesese, reached out and took out a bag of powdery substance from Jiesese's arms, and without even looking at it, he directly mixed it with water and fed it to Zhang Liang.

"My lord, drink it!"

Although Zhang Liang was weak, he still managed to sit up, took the cup and drank the liquid in it.

As the antidote entered his body, it didn't take long before he felt a warm current begin to flow through his limbs and bones, and his originally weak body gradually regained its strength.

About a quarter of an hour later, Zhang Liang was finally able to stand up from the bed by himself.

Seeing this scene, Zeng Guodong seemed relieved and stepped forward to support Zhang Liang just in case.

However, Zhang Liang waved his hand gently, indicating that he did not need help.

"no need."

He said, his voice still a little weak but full of determination.

"I feel much better now and can walk on my own."

Seeing this, Zeng Guodong nodded, retracted his outstretched hand, and looked at the trembling Jiesexing with a complicated look.

"My Lord, what are you going to do with this guy now?"
