Fearing being killed for his overwhelming merits, the empress decided to marry him.

"Hahaha, it's mine! Now this whole place is mine! Hahaha!"

After the fall of Rangzhou City, the Shatuo immediately led the leaders of various tribes in Liaodong to occupy the Goguryeo royal palace.

Sitting in what was a magnificent palace to him, touching the pure gold dragon throne, Shatuo's eyes were filled with greed.

The other commanders did the same, touching and exploring the palace like Liu Grandma visiting the Grand View Garden, truly having their eyes opened.

"I never imagined the city could be so wealthy. I never even dared to dream of these things. Now they're ours?"

"Haha, how do you think this porcelain is made? It's so beautiful, look, there are even flowers on it."

"And this chair, it's so comfortable, it's even cool to the touch, it's really nice..."

Shatuo, who was originally quite satisfied, couldn't help but darken his face when he saw the tribal leaders hugging and kissing the gold and silver utensils in the hall.

The thought of having to give away what should have been entirely his to these guys filled him with intense resentment.

Thinking of this, he suddenly straightened his posture and said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, you have worked hard. Now this city belongs to us."

"Chief Sha is mighty!"

Upon hearing this, everyone shouted in unison and waved to Shatuo with smiles.

Shatuo waved his hand, instantly placing himself in the position of a king, and began to use PUA on everyone with a disdainful attitude.

"After this battle, I discovered a key point. Do you know what it is?"

Everyone shook their heads as if they were fools.

"That means as long as all the tribes in Liaodong cooperate sincerely and unite together, those Goguryeo people are no match for us at all!"

"Therefore, all the tribes in Liaodong should unite and elect a Khan as their leader. Only in this way can we obtain greater wealth and honor in the future. What do you all think?"

After he finished speaking, he waited expectantly for everyone's response.

But unexpectedly, no one responded to this perfect call.

Some even raised objections: "The Shatuo chieftain's words make sense, but now we have already breached Rangzhou City."

"Once Goguryeo is destroyed, what need is there for a Khan? The most important thing right now is to distribute food and women, don't you all agree?"

Good heavens, taking down a city is equivalent to destroying a country? It's a good thing Shen Lang isn't here, or he'd be laughing his head off.

But these words quickly received a response.

"Yes, Chief Ju is right. Goguryeo, which oppressed us for hundreds of years, has already perished."

Spring has arrived for all the tribes in Liaodong. We don't need any Khan; let's hurry up and distribute the grain and people."

"Yes, we've been out for so long, the tribespeople are getting impatient. Why don't we take this opportunity to divide up what's rightfully ours?"

"Chief Shatuo, hurry up and distribute the people and food. We are all eager to return to the tribe and reunite with our people."

Anyone who becomes the leader of a clan is a complete fool; they are all incredibly shrewd.

They may lack vision and fail to see the bigger picture, but they are by no means Tang-like; they clearly understand that the Shatuo intend to use this opportunity to control their tribe.

This is absolutely intolerable.

However, the Shatuo tribe was too powerful for these small tribes to provoke, so they could only pretend to be stupid and try to get away with it.

Seeing that no one supported him, Shatuo became furious.

In fact, he had no ambition whatsoever to unify the various tribes of Liaodong and then contend for the world.

He simply wanted to become the Khan and, in his capacity as leader, seize the resources that rightfully belonged to the various tribes.

Seeing that they all disagreed, Shatuo was filled with rage.

"Fine, then let's wait until we leave Rangzhou City and send troops to attack those tribes and take back what belongs to me."

Thinking of this made Shatuo feel a little better.

“Everyone is right. I was just joking. Now that Rangzhou City has been captured, it’s time to claim what we agreed on.”

Upon hearing that the spoils were to be divided, everyone immediately perked up.

Just then, Shen Lang strolled into the palace hall, accompanied by the brothers Hailanyin and Hailanzhou.

Before Shen Lang could speak, Shatuo immediately put one leg on the throne and said casually, "The Duke of Zhenguo is here, please sit wherever you like."

At this moment, he was arrogant, completely regarding himself as the master of the place.

Shen Lang chuckled lightly: "You're all here? That's perfect, I don't need to look for you. I'm here today to discuss something with you."

Shatuo immediately waved his hand to stop him: "Duke Zhenguo, there's no need to say anything more. We have an agreement that when the city falls, our agreement will be officially null and void."

"If you'd like to come here for a cup of tea, you're welcome. But if you want us to risk our lives again, then please do as you please. I'm sure the Duke of Zhenguo is very busy right now, so we won't keep you company."

"Ha, Chief Shatuo is far too heartless. I have come here today because I have important matters to discuss with you."

As they spoke, the brothers Hailanzhou and Hailanyin had already closed the palace gates.

Shatuo raised an eyebrow: "Duke Zhenguo, what are you trying to do? Do you intend to break the agreement?"

Although he was still wary of Shen Lang's strength, Shatuo didn't believe that Shen Lang would dare to make trouble for him with so many people in the palace.

"Don't misunderstand, I will naturally fulfill my promise to you. I've come to you now because I have other matters to discuss with you and the clan leaders."

"what's up?"

Shen Lang slowly walked to the center of the main hall and smiled coldly: "It's nothing much, I just want to borrow something from the clan leaders. I hope you won't refuse."

Shatuo asked suspiciously, "What do you want to borrow from us?"

Shen Lang made a throat-slitting gesture and smiled slightly: "I'll borrow your heads for a bit."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell into an unusual silence.

The first to react, Sha Tuo slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Shen Lang! How dare you break your promise?!"

puff-

As soon as he finished speaking, Hylan suddenly threw a flying axe, which pierced directly into his head.

Shatuo died on the spot without uttering a sound.

Upon seeing this, the other commanders immediately stood up and drew their swords.

"Warriors, we've fallen into a trap! This bastard dared to scheme against us! Get him immediately..."

Before the clan leader could speak, Shen Lang's icy voice rang out in the hall: "Make your move."

blow--

puff-

As soon as Chief Na finished speaking, Hailanzhou pierced his throat with an arrow.

"Leave no one behind."

"Yes!"

Shen Lang completely dropped his pretense, uttered a single sentence, and without even glancing around, walked directly to the throne, kicking Sha Tuo's corpse off the throne.

Behind them, the sounds of fierce fighting echoed endlessly.

But after a brief battle, everything quickly returned to calm.

"Sir, the matter has been resolved."

Hailan and Hailanzhou, their faces covered in blood, bowed respectfully to Shen Lang.

This was the task Shen Lang gave them, and also a pledge of allegiance.

After today, the Solon tribe will no longer be able to coexist with the other tribes in Liaodong. Their only chance of survival is to steadfastly follow Shen Lang.

“Very well, Hylanin, may I borrow your bow and arrows?”

"Yes."

Taking the Goguryeo military-made arrowhead from Hylanin, Shen Lang quickly wiped the arrowhead, and the next moment, without hesitation, plunged it into his shoulder blade...
