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

As time passed, night gradually fell, and the stars hung high in the night sky, flashing a faint and mysterious light.

On the streets, apart from a few refugees shivering in the cold wind, there were almost no other pedestrians to be seen.

The whole city seemed to be shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.

In the teahouse opposite the inn, Huang Xu, who had just finished a sumptuous meal, was staring at the direction of the inn.

His eyes revealed a sense of urgency and anticipation, as if he couldn't wait to see the next scene.

When he saw the lights in the inn rooms go out one by one, a glimmer of light flashed in Huang Xu's triangular eyes, which was a signal that the conspiracy was about to succeed.

He turned his head and looked at the officials of Ning Gucheng beside him, with an unquestionable majesty in his eyes.

Noticing the change in Huang Xu's eyes, Li Zhong immediately straightened up, a flattering smile on his face, and asked cautiously, "Mr. Huang, are you going to take action?"

Huang Xu nodded, a cold smile appeared on his lips, and he said lightly: "You can start now."

However, when his eyes swept over the innocent refugees downstairs, the expression on his face suddenly became a little ugly.

He frowned, seeming to be annoyed and dissatisfied with the presence of these refugees.

"My lords, before you start, please get rid of those damned untouchables down there first!"

Huang Xu's voice was full of indifference and ruthlessness.

"I don't want anyone else to know about this. Besides, if these things get out, it will be disadvantageous to you, right?"

After hearing Huang Xu's order, Li Zhong's face showed no hesitation.

He nodded slightly and responded in agreement: "Mr. Huang is right. We will immediately send someone to deal with these untouchables!"

In his eyes, the refugees on the street were as insignificant as ants and could be easily crushed to death with just a slight raise of his hand.

Then, Li Zhong waved his hand, signaling his men to prepare for action.

After receiving the order, the men nodded in understanding without any hesitation, then quickly and quietly left the teahouse and sneaked into the darkness downstairs.

Downstairs, those innocent refugees were still immersed in their own little world, unaware of the impending disaster.

They either huddled in a corner to keep warm or whispered about the hardships of life, completely unaware that death was quietly approaching.

The men moved in the darkness like ghosts, their movements swift and precise, making almost no sound.

Before the refugees could react, they had already covered their mouths and noses and dragged them into an even darker alley.

Deep in the alley, tragedies occurred one after another.

The men broke the necks of the refugees one by one with expressionless faces. Life seemed so fragile and helpless at this moment.

As the last slight sound of struggle disappeared, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing those refugees being dealt with quickly and quietly, a look of satisfaction appeared on Huang Xu's face.

He nodded slightly, as if proud of his decision.

In his eyes, those refugees were nothing but insignificant ants, and their lives and deaths were not worth mentioning at all.

Noticing the change in Huang Xu's expression, Li Zhong immediately caught this subtle signal.

An even more flattering smile appeared on his face, trying to further curry favor with the powerful Mr. Huang.

He raised the wine glass in his hand and said respectfully, "Mr. Huang, I toast you. Now we just need to wait for our men to take action."

Huang Xu glanced at him, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

He took the wine glass and took a sip gently. His movements were elegant and calm, as if he was savoring the taste of victory.

However, he knew in his heart that these officials were just pawns in his hands, and their loyalty and flattery were based on the power and resources in his hands.

After putting down his wine glass, Huang Xu said calmly, "You'd better pray that this operation will be successful, otherwise..."

Although he hadn't finished his words, the threat he contained was already evident.

The man's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but soon returned to normal.

He nodded and bowed quickly, saying, "Don't worry, Master Huang. We will do our best to ensure that this operation is foolproof."

Huang Xu snorted coldly and said nothing more.

He turned and walked to the window, his eyes fixed on the figures of the men in black dressed in night clothes sneaking into the inn.

After the man in black entered the inn, he quickly and cautiously sneaked towards Zhang Liang and his friends' room.

The leading man in black stopped in front of the door of the room, turned around, and looked at his men to ask if they were sure everything was correct.

The men nodded in agreement, and one of them whispered, "We've already confirmed it. These are the rooms! Furthermore, those people haven't come out since they went in. There's absolutely no problem!"

The leading man in black breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but he still remained highly vigilant.

He asked again, "Have those people in the inn discovered your whereabouts? We can't be careless in the slightest, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

The reason why he was so cautious was that if they failed, they might face inhumane means from those adults.

Therefore, he had to make sure everything was perfect.

The men all shook their heads and answered firmly, "Absolutely not, Boss. Don't worry. We're well hidden. There's no way they'll find us."

"And we have been keeping an eye on every move in the inn. Those people have not come out since they went in, so there is no need to worry that they are not in the room."

After hearing these answers, the doubts in the leader's heart were slightly alleviated.

The leading man in black glanced sternly at his men, signaling them to remain alert and prepare for the next move.

Noticing the leader's gesture, the men nodded, carefully took out long tubes from their arms, and gently poked a hole in the window of the room.

The movement is so slight that it makes almost no sound.

The leading man in black lowered his voice and warned sternly, "Be careful later. Only a tiny amount of this poisonous smoke can be fatal. If you get infected, I won't collect your bodies!"

"If someone is so stupid that he can't even do a small thing, then he's dead."

His tone was cold and threatening, and it was obvious that he took this mission very seriously.

However, at this moment, a strange voice suddenly came from behind: "Really? So this poisonous smoke is so powerful! This is the first time I've seen it."

"I've really learned a lot today!"

The sound was quite loud and seemed particularly abrupt and dangerous.

Hearing this voice, a trace of anger flashed across the face of the leading man in black.

He quickly turned his head and lowered his voice to scold: "Who on earth is it! You're shouting like that? Do you want to die?"

Although he was scolding, he kept his voice low to avoid alerting Zhang Liang and others inside.

The subordinates were also startled by this sudden situation and looked around nervously, trying to find the talkative person.

As soon as the leading man in black finished speaking, a figure slowly walked out from the darkness. It was Zhang Liang.

He had a relaxed smile on his face, as if everything was under control.

"That's what I said. After all, I'm the one you're dealing with!"

Zhang Liang's voice was particularly clear in the silent night.

As soon as these words were spoken, an expression of horror instantly appeared on the face of the man in black.

They obviously did not expect to encounter the target person in such a situation, and they did not expect Zhang Liang to appear in front of them so calmly.

However, before they could react and take any action, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry appeared around them like ghosts.

These well-trained soldiers acted swiftly and decisively, subduing or eliminating most of the men in black in the blink of an eye.

Only the leading man in black was left standing there, his eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief.

He wanted to shout to warn Huang Xu and others outside, but only a faint whimper came out of his throat.

Zeng Guodong had already grabbed his neck with such force that he almost suffocated him and could not make any sound.

Seeing this reversal, the leading man in black was filled with despair and fear.

He knew that his plan had completely failed and that he might even lose his life.
