At dusk, the setting sun was blood-red.

Xu Qi ‘an saw a sumptuous meal in front of her. A gentle old woman, a young man, a delicate woman, and two children of different ages were sitting at the table.

They were Zheng xinghuai’s family … “I’m now using Zheng xinghuai’s first-person perspective to look back on his memories … Xu Qi ‘an, who had experienced empathy once, immediately understood.

He quietly listened to Zheng xinghuai reprimand his son.

Zheng Xing was pregnant with two sons, and the eldest one had a career. Thanks to Zheng xinghuai’s guidance, his official reputation was very good and his future was boundless.

The second son was a dandy disciple who had nothing to do all day.

And because Zheng xinghuai’s upbringing was very strict, this second son did not dare to do things like bullying men and oppressing women. He could not even be a good -for-nothing hedonist.

A good – for-nothing.

Today, second young master Zheng had a conflict with an officer while drinking in a brothel and was ruthlessly beaten up.

Zheng xinghuai berated his second son with a stern expression.

Second young master Zheng was not convinced and said aggrievedly, ‘”‘Father, I only went to the brothel. It was that stupid man who started the trouble. I was the one who started it. What did I do wrong?”

That’s right, what’s wrong with visiting a brothel? Xu Qi ‘an felt that it was unfair for second young master Zheng.

“Father, I want to go back to my mother’s house. It’s my father’s 60th birthday next month, ”

At this moment, his daughter-in-law spoke.

Before Zheng xinghuai could speak, the second son waved his hand and said, “Are you crazy? Recently, the barbarians have been causing a lot of trouble outside and the Chu Prefecture city is so close to the border. What if we go out of the city randomly and meet the Barbarian cavalry halfway?” His face was filled with fear as he reprimanded his reckless wife.

“You cowardly thing, how could I have given birth to trash like you?” Zheng xinghuai said angrily.

Xu Qi ‘an could not see Zheng xinghuai’s face, but in the state of empathy, he could feel Zheng xinghuai’s anger.

He was both disappointed and helpless with his second son. He felt that he was useless and could not even compare to a strand of hair from his eldest son.

At this moment, a man in light armor rushed into the inner hall in a panic. He carried a bull’s horn bow on his back and had a long knife at his waist. It was Li Han.

Sir, ” Li Han quickly said, ” the Army from the city guards institution suddenly entered the city for some reason. They’re gathering the people. I don’t know what they’re doing.

Zheng xinghuai was taken aback, and he asked in a daze, ‘”‘The city guards institution’s Army is gathering the people? Where are they gathering, and who is leading them?”

Gather the people and carry out a massacre? Xu Qian’s heart trembled and he became alert. Then, he heard Li Han say,

“The people are gathered in the four directions, North, South, East, and West.

The one leading the Army is the commander, the country protector, que

Yongxiu. He should be in the South City now.”

Zheng xinghuai put down his chopsticks and stood up. “Prepare the horses, I want to see. Inform Mr. Zhu to come with me. ‘

Immediately, Zheng xinghuai brought the ” guest officials ” from his residence and rode towards the South City. Along the way, he saw the guards institution’s soldiers escorting the people in a group, but he had no idea where they were going.

“Stop! What are you doing?” Zheng xinghuai shouted to stop him.

The armed soldiers looked at him coldly without saying a word.

Zheng xinghuai shouted again, but still no one answered.

He had a bad premonition and did not continue to tangle with the soldiers. He whipped his horse and galloped along the streets towards the south of the city.

Following the soldiers along the way, Zheng xinghuai quickly arrived at his destination. He saw a black mass of human heads. A rough estimate was that there were more than a hundred thousand people.

There were commoners, merchants, and even officials from the government office. This group of people was gathered on a barren land in the south of the city, rubbing shoulders.

Thousands of soldiers armed with bows or crossbows surrounded the group.

Zheng xinghuai’s gaze swept across and locked onto the commander, que Yongxiu, who was high on the horse’s back, as well as the ten or so secret agents wrapped in black robes beside him.

The North-guarding King’s secret agent … Zheng xinghuai squinted his eyes and shouted in a deep voice,”Duke protector, what are you doing?”

“Zheng bu, you’ve come at the right time.” Que Yongxiu’s single eye looked at him coldly. “Lord Zheng, do you know why the barbarians have repeatedly invaded the border, burning, killing, and plundering?

Zheng xinghuai did not understand why he asked this question. He frowned. “What does this have to do with you gathering the people?”

Que Yongxiu pointed his spear at the hundreds of thousands of people and laughed.

“Of course it does. As a citizen of Da Feng, I will do my best for the stability of

Da Feng’s border. He had shed his blood and sacrificed his life for the great Feng Kingdom. Zheng bu, do you think what I said makes sense?”

“It’s so strange …”

Zheng xinghuai was just about to berate him when he suddenly saw que Yongxiu clip his horse’s abdomen and charge toward the people.

“Pfft!”

His long spear stabbed into a commoner’s chest and lifted him up high. Blood splattered out, and the man on the tip of the spear struggled in pain for a few moments before his limbs drooped weakly.

The scene instantly became chaotic. The surrounding commoners screamed in fear, while the commoners further away who didn’t see this bloody scene were still at a loss.

“Que Yongxiu, how dare you kill so many civilians? are you crazy?” Zheng xinghuai’s eyes were about to pop out.

The city-wide massacre was about to begin … Xu Qi ‘an already knew what was going to happen next. Through empathy, he deeply understood Zheng xinghuai’s shock and anger at this time.

“Don’t worry, Lord Zheng, it’s your turn soon.” Que Yongxiu shook off the corpse of the spear tip and waved his hand. “Release the arrows!”

Thousands of armored soldiers drew their bows together and aimed at the gathered innocent people.

“Swish Swish Swish .

An overwhelming number of arrows were shot out, as dense as locusts and as heavy as a storm.

Every arrow took a life. The people fell to the ground one by one, crying in despair. Their lives were like grass. This included the elderly and children..
