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

On a sunny morning, a shocking piece of news swept across the Daqian Empire like a gust of wind - the emperor was going to cede land and pay compensation to the northern barbarians!

This news was like a bombshell, instantly igniting public emotions and spreading throughout the streets, alleys, and fields in just a few days.

When people learned about this, the whole of Daqian was in an uproar.

Feelings of anger and dissatisfaction spread rapidly like a surging tide.

The people were outraged. They could not accept that their country would bow to the enemy.

In the streets and alleys, people gathered in groups of three or five, shouting loudly that they wanted to fight a decisive battle with the northern barbarians to defend their homes and uphold the dignity of their country.

However, in the face of the people's calls, the court chose to turn a deaf ear and even ignored them.

Perhaps for those high-ranking officials, the voices of the people are too weak to attract their attention.

What's worse is that due to the need to pay a huge amount of compensation to the Northern Barbarians, the incompetent monarch Li Tiancheng once again issued an outrageous order - to double the taxes!

Moreover, this levy covers almost all taxes for the next twenty years.

Once this order was issued, it was like adding insult to injury. The people's already difficult lives suddenly became unsustainable.

Under the heavy pressure, many desperate people finally couldn't bear it anymore. They raised the simple weapons in their hands and resolutely embarked on the road of uprising, vowing to overthrow this corrupt and decadent dynasty.

A single spark can start a prairie fire. At first, it was just a small group of people protesting, but as time went on, more and more people joined this vigorous uprising.

The flames of the uprising quickly spread to every corner of Daqian, and its scale and impact far exceeded the court's expectations.

The news quickly reached the heavily guarded imperial palace. When Li Tiancheng heard the reports, he simply snorted disdainfully and uttered a cold word.

"What a bunch of damned pariahs! If it weren't for my mercy and protection, they would have already become the victims of those brutal northern barbarians. I never thought they would be so ignorant and dare to rebel!"

His voice was filled with anger and disdain.

In his view, these rebels were just a mob and not worth mentioning at all.

"Send me a large army to suppress them all!"

Li Tiancheng gave the order.

After hearing his words, the general who came to report the matter nodded and then stepped out.

As the army's actions unfolded, the uprisings in various places were gradually quelled.

However, the turmoil was not over yet. Within Daqian, people's dissatisfaction with the court was growing.

After the general left, Li Tiancheng turned his gaze to Wei Zhong beside him.

His eyes were filled with dissatisfaction and anger, and he asked in a cold voice, "Hasn't that damned bastard Zhang Liang been dealt with yet? It's been so many days!"

Wei Zhong swallowed, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

He knew very well how much the emperor valued this matter, and he also knew that if he could not give a satisfactory answer, the consequences would be disastrous.

He quickly replied, "Your Majesty, all the men we sent were dealt with by Zhang Liang. But please rest assured, give me a little more time! I will come to you with Zhang Liang's head."

After hearing Wei Zhong's answer, a cold light flashed in Li Tiancheng's eyes.

He said to Wei Zhong, "Wei Zhong, since you've followed me for so many years, I'll give you one more chance. If this doesn't work, then come to me with your head on your shoulders."

After saying this, Li Tiancheng told Wei Zhong to get out.

Watching Wei Zhong's disappearing back, Li Tiancheng swept everything on the desk to the ground.

He gnashed his teeth and said, "Zhang Liang, you damned bastard! I shouldn't have spared your life in the first place. I should have sent you to die with your damned father!"

After saying this, Li Tiancheng kept breathing heavily.

The entire palace was silent, with only the emperor's angry voice echoing in the air.

After Wei Zhong left, his face was as gloomy as water, and his heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

He knew the importance of this mission. If he failed again, he would not be able to explain to the emperor.

Therefore, he decided to use the last trump card in his hand - the most elite killer organization.

This killer organization is composed of a group of well-trained and highly skilled assassins who are good at stealth, assassination and intelligence gathering.

Wei Zhong gathered them together and assigned them tasks in detail.

He asked them to complete the task in the shortest time possible without leaving any traces.

After receiving the task, the killers took action quickly.

They divided into several groups and sneaked into Ninggu City from different directions.

However, as soon as they stepped into the city gate, they found themselves in a huge trap.

It turned out that Zhang Liang's intelligence agency, Akatsuki, had already known about their action plan and had made preparations in advance.

After the killers were dealt with, Zhong Tian and others came to Zhang Liang's mansion and told Zhang Liang that they had successfully dealt with the killers sent by the court.

After hearing this news, Zhang Liang put down his brush and a faint smile appeared on his face. He asked, "How many waves is this?"

Liu Yu next to him immediately replied: "Young Master can't remember it anymore."

As soon as he finished saying this, Zhang Liang laughed at himself.

Then he asked, "You all came to see me today, is there something important you want to tell me?"

After hearing Zhang Liang's question, Zhong Tian's eyes flashed with determination.

He took a deep breath, then said slowly: "My lord, I think it's time for us to take action."

Although his voice was not loud, it was full of power and confidence.

Zhang Liang's hand paused for a moment, then slowly put down the brush.

His eyes became deep, as if he was thinking about something important.

Zhang Liang knew what Zhong Tian’s words meant, and he also knew that this decision would change the fate of the entire Daqian.

Everyone else present held their breath, waiting for Zhang Liang's answer.

There was a tense and expectant atmosphere in the air.

They all know that this decision will affect their future and the direction of the entire country.

Wang Wu took over the conversation and continued, "Young Master, the power we have developed now is enough to take action against Daqian. So don't wait any longer, let's take action."

There was an urgency and determination in her voice.

The others present looked at Zhang Liang, their eyes full of anticipation.

They all hoped that Zhang Liang could make the right decision and lead them to victory.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Liang took a deep breath and his eyes became firm.

He seemed to have made the final decision and was ready to take the step that would change his destiny.

"If that's the case, then let's take action!"

Zhang Liang's voice was full of determination and strength.

"It's time to end this corrupt dynasty."

After saying this, a gleam of light flashed in Zhang Liang's eyes.

He knew that this decision meant they would face huge risks and challenges, but he also believed that as long as they united and moved forward courageously, they would be able to overcome all difficulties.

Zhong Tian and the others smiled when they heard Zhang Liang's words. They knew this was an important moment and a historic turning point.

They are all proud and excited to be part of this great cause.

Zhang Liang walked up to them and continued, "Now that we've made the decision, let's go down and prepare carefully! After all, this is no small matter. If we fail, our lives could very well end here."

Zhong Tian nodded and assured him, "Don't worry, my lord. We will make preparations immediately after we leave and ensure that nothing goes wrong."

There was a firmness and confidence in his voice, which made Zhang Liang feel at ease.

Others present also expressed their willingness to do their best to complete the task.

Then, Liu Yu said, "Master, let's go down and prepare first."

There was an urgency and determination in his voice, as if he couldn't wait to start taking action.

Zhang Liang nodded in agreement.

He knew that time was running out and that preparations had to be made quickly to ensure the success of the operation.

So, he patted Zhong Tian and the others on the shoulders and encouraged them, "Okay, go down!"

Zhong Tian and others felt Zhang Liang's trust and support, and their confidence became stronger.

They all bowed to Zhang Liang, then turned and left the study.
