Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

The veins on his hand holding the knife were bulging and his knuckles were white from the force.

As a military general from a humble family, he had long been fed up with the Liu family's tyranny and the county governor's exploitation in this county town.

Previously, the suppression of Black Wind Ridge was a military order, and he had no choice.

But now... it is the Liu family and the county magistrate who have cut off their own path!

It is Liu Yueli, the legendary female Zhuge Liang.

It gave him a chance to turn sides with dignity and rebuild his career!

"Bang!"

The main water gate leading to the inner city of the city wall had a heavy bronze riveted door. Inside, there was a loud noise of mechanisms turning and iron chains rubbing, and then it was watched by countless pairs of astonished eyes.

Slowly open inward!

The ones guarding this gate are none other than Wei Zhong’s personal soldiers!

Led by Wei Zhong's confidant, they took control of the door hinge mechanism without encountering any decent resistance!

"Wei Zhong has rebelled!" Terrified screams pierced the sky from the top of the city walls, from inside the inner city walls, and from the county magistrate's mansion!

The shouts and cries of killing inside and outside Old Master Liu's study were deafening.

The Ever-Victorious Army's vanguard and internal supporters worked together to break through the servants' defense line outside Liu's mansion.

They were fighting a desperate battle with the well-equipped clan soldiers who were defending the inner courtyard.

Flames rose between the rockery and corridors, reflecting the gleam of swords and blood. The once majestic and noble Liu Mansion has become a Shura field.

"Old Master! We can't hold on any longer! Go! Go through the secret passage!" The old butler was covered in blood, with a broken arrow stuck in his shoulder. He crawled into the study, his voice desperate.

Old Master Liu wasn't looking at him. His old eyes, which had once looked down upon the world, were fixed on the huge family map on the table, which he had once been most proud of, with salt roads, fields, and mineral veins marked on it.

It was splattered with the dark red blood that he had just vomited.

When he heard the news that Wei Zhong had defected and the water gate was opened, everything went completely dark before his eyes, as if his soul had been pulled out.

It’s over.

The trend is over!

The business that had been painstakingly built over decades collapsed in the hands of a peasant who was unknown just a few months ago!

"No, I can't go..."

Old Master Liu's hoarse voice sounded like a ghost crying, but there was no fear on his face.

All that remains is the most vicious madness that burns life.

"If I can't leave, they won't have an easy time either! The County Magistrate, that idiot, deserves to die! He thinks he can get away with it by disowning the county magistrate? He's dreaming!"

He suddenly pulled out a token from the secret compartment under the table.

The token was neither gold nor jade, and was as black as ink, with a strange nine-headed snake emblem engraved on it.

This is the most secret power of the Liu family, the killing order of the Nine Snake Guards!

He kept it hidden close to his body for twenty years and never showed it to anyone.

He pressed the token into the butler's bloodstained, trembling hand, his fingers as cold as iron.

"Nine Snakes! Go see Master Jiu and tell him to kill County Magistrate Huang, no matter the cost! Tonight! Right here and now! Then throw his head and the governor's secret letter in front of the camp gate at Changbai Mountain! I want them all to become a mess, a complete mess!"

The butler looked at the token that looked like the key to hell, his face as pale as paper.

This will immediately turn the County Magistrate's Mansion into a second battlefield and completely ignite the final fire of madness!

It was also his own dead end...but looking at the old man's eyes that were crazy to death.

He clenched the token tightly, his teeth chattering, and in the end, there was only silent obedience:

"I obey your orders! I will make sure that old dog takes the blame for the old master!"

The butler turned around and pushed open the entrance to the secret passage behind the bookcase.

The hunched figure disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

The entrance to the passage closed with the sound of a mechanism, blocking out the increasingly approaching shouts and screams from outside.

In the study, only the shaky and withered figure of Old Master Liu remained.

He walked tremblingly to the table, picked up a jade bottle with a very good seal, and pulled out the cork.

Drink up the smelly dark green liquid inside.

That was one of the great gifts he prepared for the destruction of his family.

In less than half a minute, there was an unprecedented huge explosion, mixed with countless screams and the sound of collapsing bricks and stones.

It actually came from the direction of the main building of the County Magistrate's Mansion!

A ball of dazzling fire suddenly rushed up, illuminating half of the night sky!

When Wei Zhong saw that the North Water Gate was finally breached by the battering ram under the attack from both inside and outside.

The Ever-Victorious Army rushed in shouting like a flood breaking through a dam.

When he saw the water gate passage of the city wall that he had opened himself.

Chang Baishan was already holding a heavy saber, and surrounded by his personal guards, he looked like a bloody god of war.

Stride in.

Moreover, when he saw the sudden explosion in the direction of the county magistrate's office, a chill rushed up his spine to the top of his head.

He knew that Liu Yueli's promise in the letter that if the general could open the door, he would reap the benefits, had been half fulfilled.

He also understood that the attack and explosion at the county magistrate's mansion must have muddied the waters before him.

This is a godsend opportunity and also the last chance!

"Send me the military order!"

Wei Zhong suddenly drew his sword, pointing the blade directly at the chaotic city wall and the terrified defenders under the county governor.

"Clear the traitor Liu's private soldiers! Assist General Chang in pacifying the county capital! Anyone who obstructs will be treated as a traitor and executed without mercy!"

"Clear out the traitors! Kill them!"

The soldiers under his command were also oppressed and had seen clearly which way the wind was blowing.

At this moment, he finally found an outlet to vent his emotions and a way to clear his name, and pounced like a hungry wolf on the Ever-Victorious Army that had just tried to stop him.

At this moment, the comrades are leaderless.

Another melee broke out in the city instantly!

Chang Baishan stepped into the corridor, stepping on the bricks, rubble and sticky bloodstains on the ground.

The thick smell of fireworks and blood filled his face. The flames danced on his young face, yet it was etched with the frost and blood of his bloodshed. The sharp edge in his eyes pierced the night. He saw the sudden outbreak of internal strife within the city wall, and also saw the flames rising from the county governor's mansion.

"The Liu family's mad dog bit its owner?"

He smiled coldly, as if everything was calculated, but also as if he was just mocking the mockery of fate.

Without a moment's hesitation, he swung his massive saber across the air, a cold arc etched in his direction. His goal was crystal clear:

"Target, the Liu Mansion treasury! Team one, follow me! Teams two and three, cooperate with General Wei to clear the way and take the County Magistrate's Mansion! Military Advisor Liu's assigned troops, keep a close eye on the official granary! Pass the order! Whoever breaks into the treasury will be rewarded with an endless supply of gold and silver, which will be the first batch of food and wages distributed by our Ever-Victorious Army to the poor people of the world! The main culprit in this city is the Liu family! Kill them!"

"The chief culprit, Liu! Kill him!"

"Move the gold and silver! Distribute the food and wages!"

A roar filled with so much anger and desire.

It resounded once again over the smoke-filled and chaotic county town.

The iron stream of the Ever-Victorious Army, guided by sabers, was like countless bloodthirsty sharks.

With precision and ferocity, they pounced on their first core prey.

The heart of the Liu family.

That treasury containing countless sins and wealth!

In the vortex of blood and fire, the fate of the county town was swept in an unpredictable direction by this new, wild but powerful torrent.

A bloody storm broke out inside the vermilion gate of the Liu Mansion.

The real storm has just begun.
