Chapter 92: A Second Meeting!
“Haha, who would have thought that the decisive, selfless, and ruthless War God general would have a woman’s charity? He actually trusted the people sent over by Zhengguo Court and drank the soup they had poisoned.
“Jiang Zhennan, it’s not just my master who wants you dead. You were born to be a jinx, so your father and stepmother want you to die. Your siblings are jealous of you because you are the defender-general of the state. Jiang Zhennan, your life is a failure, don’t you think?”
Once the leader was done, the other men in black cackled.
Jiang Zhennan was severely poisoned, and the poison had attacked his heart. His face under the mask turned from red to yellow to purple and then white. The palm of his hand that was holding the hilt of the knife was sweating and trembling constantly. The heart-wrenching pain almost made him lose the strength to speak. However, Jiang Zhennan was ultimately the War God of Long Yan Country. His perseverance and endurance were not comparable to ordinary people.
Even in the face of the enemy’s arrogant mockery and sarcasm, he didn’t back down.
He supported himself with the hilt of the knife and stood up straight. The purplish lips under the mask retorted in a mocking tone. “Even if I’m seen as a stumbling block by your master, and even if the people from the Zhengguo Court hate me, I’ve made my way from a small soldier to the defender-general of the state. I am known and even worshiped by the people. I have a clean and upright life!
“On the other hand,” his sharp eyes glanced at the Men in Black and said disdainfully, “even under the hot sun, you can only wear black clothes and black masks. You can never show your true appearance and can only live in darkness forever. You are the most pitiful people in the world!”
Jiang Zhennan used the last of his strength to speak. Blood immediately gushed out of his chest, but he tried his best to suppress it.
The expression of the men in the black changed. The leader shouted angrily, “Jiang Zhennan, you’re still gloating even when you’re about to die. Since you like to be a general that much, I’ll send you to hell to be a ghost general!
“Brothers, go! Once we bring Jiang Zhennan’s head back to our master, we will get ten thousand taels of gold!”
The men swarmed forward.
Jiang Zhennan’s group of five was already exhausted after being hunted all the way. Jiang Zhennan was poisoned. Jiang Zhennan’s men wanted to save their general, but not while saving themselves. They couldn’t do both. It was why Jiang Zhennan had ordered them to abandon him.
Jiang Zhennan gave his orders again. Guo Bing and the others were in tears. They were determined to break out of the siege so that one day, they’d avenge their general.
However, their enemies had the advantage in numbers, while they were poisoned or heavily injured. Very quickly, they were surrounded.
Their hope of escape dwindled. The four either lay or knelt on the ground.
Little three and little twelve were lying on the ground, bleeding from their abdomens. Their legs were twisted. One of their hands was holding a knife, while the other was grabbing the soil on the ground. Tears were flowing from the corners of their eyes. They were unwilling to die like this!
A man doesn’t shed tears easily unless it is because of something truly heart-breaking.
