The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

Chapter 565 This old servant would rather die than implicate His Majesty in such a humiliating disgr

"Lord Jiao, the alliance agreement has been brought. Please review it. If there are no errors, I will sign it. We will return to Xuchang first and then discuss the rest..."

Inside the prison, Zhang Liang hurriedly walked away, holding the covenant already stamped with the imperial seal.

But when he actually got close to the prison where Jiao Bo was being held, his movements suddenly slowed down.

Not right.

Although he was a civil official, he had also been to the battlefield.

He is also very sensitive to the smell of blood.

No one in the prison dares to torture Jiao Bo anymore; the wounds from the severe torture inflicted a few days ago should have almost healed by now.

How could there be such a strong smell of blood?

"What's going on? Did you torture Lord Jiao again without authorization?"

"Do you really want your country to be destroyed?!"

Hearing Zhang Liang's angry rebuke, the jailers were stunned.

Torture?

Huang Hao had given instructions to treat them well; who would dare to torture them?

Not to mention torture, the prison where Jiao Bo was held was deliberately cleaned up; you couldn't even find a sharp object.

But the smell of blood is undeniable.

The head jailer simply shrugged innocently.

“My lord, we are only acting under orders. How could we possibly torture anyone on our own? We have no grudge against that lord.”

They would not voluntarily torture any prisoner unless ordered by their superiors.

After all, those who can be imprisoned here are not ordinary people. If they gain power later, it would be easy for them to take revenge on a lowly jailer.

"Then where does this smell of blood come from?!"

At this moment, Zhang Liang would rather these people admit that they had used torture on Jiao Bo!

If it wasn't the jailer who did it, the situation would only be worse!

At that moment, his bad premonition reached its peak.

When he arrived at the cell, he saw the situation inside and couldn't catch his breath; he felt dizzy for a moment.

Jiao Boxiang's expression was just as it had been when he watched Liu Bang rise to power and execute Sima and eliminate the gentry.

The lines of bright, blood-red characters on the wall behind him were so glaring that Zhang Liang could hardly bear to look at them.

The bloodstains almost extended outside the prison gate.

Seeing this scene, the prison guards were completely panicked.

Huang Hao had instructed them to keep a close watch on the prisoner.

They treated them just like ordinary serious offenders, keeping them under strict guard and confiscating all sharp objects from the prison.

But I never expected this person to be so ruthless.

Judging from the ferocious look on his wrist, it must have been his fingernails...

"Emperor Wen of Great Wei received the throne from Emperor Xian of the Liu family, and thus received the mandate of Heaven!"

"The incompetence of the rebels in Shu today, and their favoritism towards treacherous eunuchs, further demonstrate that the mandate of heaven for the Han Dynasty has come to an end."

"How could a tyrannical ruler receive such favors from His Majesty? How could a eunuch be worthy of ruling this empire?"

"The seven prefectures cannot be ceded, the capital cannot be given up, and the alliance cannot be signed!"

"This old servant would rather die than implicate Your Majesty in such a humiliating disgrace!"

"It is a pity that this old servant will not be able to witness Your Majesty unifying the world. I can only offer my early congratulations to Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live ten thousand years! May our Great Wei live ten thousand years!"

Seeing the lines of blood-red characters, Zhang Liang felt even more dizzy.

From beginning to end, he believed in Jiao Bo's loyalty.

But he never imagined it would come to this.

He couldn't even imagine how difficult it must have been for Jiao Bo to make such a decision.

And how painful it must be to die like that!

This is no less severe than any form of punishment!

"Is this how you treat the envoys of my Great Wei?"

"Go and tell your Lord Huang that the alliance has been torn up. Tell him to wait for the million-strong army of our Great Wei!"

"I want to see just how he can conjure up troops to stop my Great Wei!"

At this moment, her admiration for Jiao Bo and her resentment for her previous forbearance towards Huang Hao completely erupted.

"I have already informed Lord Huang. Please wait a moment, sir. He will surely give you a satisfactory solution!"

The Han officials who were sent to accompany Zhang Liang in releasing the people also panicked.

He quickly tried to dissuade them, while giving them a look that signaled the jailer to go and report the situation.

Before the jailer could even move, Zhang Liang had already drawn his sword and stabbed him to death.

He then turned around and plunged his sword into the Han official's abdomen.

"This is not a discussion, this is a notification."

"Lord Jiao is dead, the alliance is null and void, and the Han Dynasty is doomed!"

The remaining jailers scattered and fled, but Zhang Liang did not pursue them. He simply looked at the deputy general who had come with him to pick up the prisoners.

"Go and inform General Wen Yang that the negotiations have broken down. Have the soldiers put on their armor and prepare to fight their way out of the city."

"Also, send a messenger to inform His Majesty, saying..."

"Forget it, I'll handle this myself. What you need to do is break through!"

"As ordered!"

……

How much trouble can a person really cause?

Upon seeing several prison guards hurrying over and hearing their report, Huang Hao had this thought in mind.

Is this the kind of trouble that a human could cause?

"What did we tell you back then? We told you to make sure you took good care of him?"

"What did you do? How could you let him die?!"

He was furious.

At this moment, the prison guards dared not utter a single word of argument.

Even though they had done nothing wrong in the matter of Jiao Bo's death, they were still derelict in their duty and could only obediently tremble and kowtow.

Unfortunately, Huang Hao didn't even bother to glance at them.

"Kowtowing? You don't still want to live, do you?"

"Drag them away and skin them alive. Send the women to the army camp and behead all the men."

Before leaving in a hurry, he left these words behind.

When Huang Hao arrived outside the palace, he was met with three thousand fully armed elite soldiers and Zhang Liang, who was wearing armor.

"Sir, things shouldn't be that bad yet, right?"

"In the end, it was all because Lord Jiao couldn't see things clearly."

"However, our Han Dynasty does bear some responsibility for this matter. How about this, give us some face, and after Wei cede seven counties to our Han Dynasty, our Han Dynasty will take the lead in attacking Eastern Wu. What do you say?"

Faced with the menacing Zhang Liang, Huang Hao quickly shamelessly approached him.

The more arrogant they were before, the more humble they are now.

He was just one step away from successfully signing the alliance agreement, and he didn't want to give up this excellent opportunity!

Unfortunately, he clearly underestimated his own importance.

"Give you face? Who do you think you are?"

"He's just a castrated dog, does he think he deserves my respect?"

Zhang Liang threw the torn and crumpled covenant in his hand at Huang Hao's face.

"You still dream of making our Great Wei cede territory? You don't really think I'm showing weakness because you're strong, do you?"

"Wake up, you eunuch! The Han Dynasty is doomed!"

Huang Hao: "?"

"Just because of that eunuch? He's just a eunuch like us!"

"How could he, a mere individual, possibly affect relations between the two countries!"

At this moment, he was confused.

“Eunuch? You are a eunuch, but he is not.”

"His Majesty promised him that he would be granted a marquisate soon. He is not a eunuch; he is a marquis of our Great Wei!"

"General Wen Yang, charge out! It would be best if you could kill this eunuch dog to appease Lord Jiao's spirit in heaven!"
