On the small hillside, the Langya Prince once again revealed a look of satisfaction. Finally, my reinforcements have arrived! Jiang Han, you won't be so arrogant for much longer. How dare you scheme against me! Once I get out of here, I will definitely settle the score with you.
Over the years, it turns out that my subordinate, Wu Quncheng, is more reliable than my own sons. At this moment, the Langya Prince felt an overwhelming sense of hesitation. The thought of his two sons made him wish he could die among the disaster victims, just so they could inherit the throne and family fortune!
As he thought about his subordinates, each one brave enough to risk their lives to save him, he couldn't help but feel how absurd it all was. Jiang Han, oh Jiang Han! You have gone to great lengths to plot against me. Yet now, in this time of crisis, I see clearly who I can rely on and who I cannot trust!
The Langya Prince gazed down at Fang Zheng and was suddenly filled with mixed emotions. He murmured to himself, "This can also be considered a blessing in disguise!" Once I get out of here, I will show mercy and only torment you three times. Each time, I will beat you to near death before saving you! When you, Jiang Han, have recovered from your injuries, I will beat you half to death again. In this way, after three rounds of torment, I will have relieved my resentment.
The Langya Prince never believed that the two thousand Household Guards led by Wu Quncheng would be defeated by these disaster victims. Moreover, the peak of their desperation had already passed. What remained was simply waiting for the disaster victims to falter before I make my grand entrance and carve a bloody path through them.
"My lord, the number of disaster victims surrounding us has decreased significantly!" one of his guards suggested. "Shall we fight our way out?"
"There's no rush!" The Langya Prince felt no urgency now that he was out of immediate danger. He replied leisurely, "As a dignified Langya Prince, how could I allow myself to be besieged by disaster victims and flee in disgrace?"
If this matter spreads across the nations, my reputation will be ruined!
Let’s wait a bit longer, until the disaster victims have completely lost hope and their morale has dissipated!
Then, the five of you and I will charge out together, creating a legendary tale of defeating thousands of rioters!
But, my lord, safety is paramount!
Jiang Jiang grew anxious and insisted, "Face doesn’t matter!"
Not at all! I have won countless battles. If I hastily flee from this small hillside today, how will the leaders of the world view me afterward?
The Langya Prince insisted on waiting for the right moment to join forces with the Household Guards to strike at these disaster victims from both inside and outside.
I am a man who values his reputation!
Having fought valiantly and defeated the Xia Kingdom’s army multiple times, I am known as the War God of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
If this War God were to be chased around by rioters, how could I manage my troops afterward?
Many Jiang Jiang were left speechless. Is the prince now considering more than just his life after escaping danger?
My lord!
My lord, even if it means losing face today, life is more important!
You can’t do this, my lord! Just a moment ago, you wanted to save your life by shouting for help!
Now that you are safe, you don’t want to leave easily? You can’t have it both ways!
Indeed, my lord! Let’s take advantage of the chaos and break through!
The five Jiang Jiang, all trusted subordinates of the Langya Prince, spoke without reservation.
In their eyes, practicality was most important; reputation didn’t matter.
The best choice now is to quickly make our escape.
My lord, I offer you three strategies once more!
That retainer spoke again; it was Liu Le who said: "My lord, for the best strategy, let’s abandon our pride and flee quickly—life is what matters most!"
"Zhong Ce, let's wait a moment, see how things unfold, and then we can make our move!"
"Last Resort, we will wait until the victims can no longer hold on. You and the five Jiang Jiang will break through together and create a legendary tale for the army."
The five Jiang Jiang looked at Liu Leqing, their expressions souring instantly.
"At this moment, you still want to show your face? Are you afraid that the prince won't remember your contribution?"
"This prince chooses Last Resort!" The Langya Prince made his choice with utmost certainty.
"Huh?" Now it was Retainer Liu Leqing's turn to be bewildered. "I’ve told you, staying here is Last Resort. Why do you keep choosing Last Resort every time?"
"What I mean is, taking a detour to tell you that running away isn’t shameful; that’s the best option!"
The five Jiang Jiang and three Retainers stared blankly at the Langya Prince, then glanced outside at the victims.
"Your Highness, what’s going on in your head? In this situation, we need to run!"
"You don’t have to look at me like that! I know that the best strategy is the one that benefits me the most; your faces don’t matter."
"Yes, let me tell you plainly: I am a person, and as a person, I have my temper."
"Jiang Han has plotted against me like this; I can’t just let it slide!"
The Langya Prince was resolute; he wouldn’t back down. Even a clay statue has some spirit left in it.
"You Jiang Han are messing with me like this; if I don’t give you something big in return, even if I escape, I’ll be so furious that I won’t sleep all night—and it might even shorten my life."
Hearing this, the Retainers and Jiang Jiang were utterly speechless; the prince was clearly in a bad mood.
The prince knew very well how to choose in order to maximize his own benefits. But just as he said, he was a person with feelings.
Having suffered such an indignity was too much to bear.
"Your Highness!"
"Prince!"
Several of Jiang Jiang still wanted to persuade him.
The Langya Prince waved his hand, signaling that they need not say anything further. With the advantage in hand, he was merely waiting to deliver a fatal blow to the disaster victims later.
He focused on the battlefield where the disaster victims clashed with Wu Quncheng's Household Guards, nodding slightly. It seemed that the Household Guards were performing well, continuously suppressing the disaster victims. Even the disaster victims disguised as Imperial Guards found it difficult to withstand the onslaught of the Household Guards for the time being.
The advantage is mine!
Jiang Han, you’re in trouble!
The Langya Prince turned his gaze toward the distant Jiang Han, a glint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes. He was contemplating what specific methods he could use to torment Jiang Han and relieve his pent-up resentment.
"Prince! Prince!"
"Prince! Prince!"
The four Jiang Jiang shouted anxiously.
The Langya Prince's reverie was shattered as he impatiently exclaimed, "What are you shouting about? Are you calling for a soul?"
"No, Prince! Look over there! The weapons of the disaster victims are suspicious!"
One Jiang Jiang hurriedly shouted, pushing at the Langya Prince. The others also gestured for him to look in that direction.
Upon hearing this, the Langya Prince turned to look and was instantly dumbfounded!
What the hell! They’re even using Oil Saws!
Is this a weapon that disaster victims can wield?
