I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1014: Turning against guests
Seeing this, Huvishka was secretly delighted and quickly got up to lead the way: "Your Highness, please follow me."

Soon, the two arrived at a secret room.

Despite being called a secret room, this place is more like a Buddhist shrine.

The walls of the secret chamber are covered with Buddhist murals, and a golden Buddha statue is enshrined in the center, with wisps of smoke rising from the incense burner.

After closing the door, the obsequious smile on Huvishka's face gradually disappeared, replaced by the imposing presence of a provincial governor. He strode forward, reaching the foot of the Buddha statue, and turned back to say:

"Your Highness, I am truly impressed. Judging from your expression, you must have sensed something was wrong with the wine, yet you still dared to drink it all in one gulp?"

"What, perhaps you don't want to appear timid in front of a beauty?" Huvishka sneered. "I don't know whether to call you arrogant or stupid."

Su Yao stood with his hands behind his back, a faint smile playing on his lips: "Why isn't the governor pretending anymore? I thought you would stall for time, waiting for the poison to take effect or something."

Huvishka shook his head: "There's no need for that."

"This poison is called Datura, a rare Indian poison. It is fragrant but contains boundless killing intent. Anyone who drinks this poison will die within half an hour."

As they were speaking, Huvishka twisted the mechanism of the Buddha statue, and the secret door of the chamber suddenly opened. Dozens of fully armed warriors rushed in and surrounded Su Yao.

"You think you can take me down with these small fry?" Su Yao looked around, his tone eerily calm.

Huvishka retreated behind the warrior and said smugly, "I know you are highly skilled in martial arts, but the poison has already entered your throat. The more you circulate your internal energy, the faster you will die!"

"Now you're a caged bird, unable to fly away!"

"Surrender obediently, and I might grant you a quick death!"

Su Yao looked around and suddenly burst into laughter: "Interesting, very interesting. I heard that the Provincial Governor and the Northern Governor-General don't get along, so there's no need for you to take such a big risk for him. So you mean you want to use my head to curry favor with Prince Bo Diao?"

"prince?"

Huvishka snorted coldly:
"No one in this world is worthy of my loyalty."

"The Governor-General of the North will personally take action to kill the prince, causing a sensation throughout the land."

"And I will carry out justice after incorporating your army, take your place, and become the new overlord of the North!"

A glint of ambition flashed in Huvishka's eyes:
"As for you, Your Highness, King Tang, your head will be the first stepping stone for me to ascend the throne!"

"But don't worry, I will take good care of your people. In this foreign land, they probably don't have any other means besides obeying me."

"That's it?"

Su Yao scratched the back of his head, sighed, and said:

"I thought there was some grand conspiracy, but it turns out it's just the petty ambitions of some small fry."

"What?! Small fry?!"

Huvishka was angered by Su Yao's nonchalant attitude and scolded him:
"Recognize the situation, Han general!"

"You guys are getting people to go around praising and promoting you, are you even starting to believe your own hype?"

"Does he really think he's an omnipotent war god?"

"Let me tell you, the poison I gave you was enough to incapacitate even an elephant!"

"If you dare to utter such arrogant words and disrespect this governor again, I will have you punished!"

puff!

As the candlelight in the Buddhist hall flickered, a fleeting shadow flashed by.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere.

One, two, three heads shot into the sky before the guards surrounding Su Yao could even react to what was happening.

"You're the one who hasn't grasped the situation, Your Excellency."

In a daze, Huvishka suddenly collapsed to the ground. He looked at Su Yao, who had appeared in front of him at some point, and gently shook his fingers to wipe away the blood droplets from his fingertips.

His movements were as graceful as brushing dust off his sleeves, while headless corpses lay scattered on the ground.

Su Yao's expression was relaxed and carefree, with only a slight upturn of his lips. To Huvishka, that smile was as sinister as a demon, as if to say, "Killing you is as easy as killing an ant."

"This...this is impossible?!" "Poison! I clearly saw you drink it!"

Huvishka finally screamed in terror, sitting on the ground and shuffling backward, leaving a trail of water in his wake.
"poison?"

"What makes you think it will work on me? That's utterly ridiculous."

Of course.

Even without Su Yao's breakthrough, his poison resistance was greatly improved when he previously pointed out the medical skills.

Now, with his breakthrough in cultivation, all the so-called rare poisons in the world are as harmless to him as water.

Su Yao looked down at the limp Huvishka and slowly raised his hand: "Now, let's..."

"No! Don't kill me!"

Huvishka suddenly lunged forward like a madman, trying to grab Su Yao's leg:

"I surrender!"

"I surrender!"

"I'll agree to anything you ask!"

"I'll do whatever you want me to do!"

"Get away from me for now!"

With a whoosh, Su Yao vanished before his eyes, almost instantly appearing atop the tall Buddha statue, pinching his nose as he said:
"Your urine smells so strong!"

Huvishka then realized that he had been so frightened that he had lost control of his bladder, and was immediately filled with shame and indignation. He struggled to get up, only to see that Su Yao had already jumped down from the Buddha statue and was standing three steps away, fanning his nose in disgust.

"Your Highness, spare my life!" Khuvishka knelt on the ground, his forehead pressed against the earth. "I'm willing to offer up all my wealth, just to save my life!"

Su Yao sneered, "Now you know to beg for mercy? Where did your ruthlessness go when you poisoned me?"

Huvishka trembled all over and, disregarding his dignity, kept begging for mercy.

Just then, perhaps hearing the commotion inside, the door to the secret chamber suddenly opened, and a general led dozens of men in, who were immediately stunned.

All they saw was their own governor, who had wet himself, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy from the man who should have died from the poison.
"What...what's going on?" The leading general was dumbfounded, and almost dropped his sword.

Su Yao turned to look at the intruders, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Perfect timing, saves me the trouble of searching for them one by one."

Upon seeing this, Huvishka was terrified and immediately shouted:
"What are you all standing there for?!"

"Kneel down and pay homage to the True God!"

The sight of Huvishka sprawled on the ground and the corpses scattered everywhere completely demoralized the invading guards.

One by one, they dropped their weapons, staring nervously at Su Yao, unsure of their fate.

However, compared to the previous assassins, these people were lucky; Su Yao didn't kill anyone else, but instead chose to surrender.
"Give you two choices."

Su Yao picked up the sword from the ground and pointed it at Huvishka, saying:

"Either submit obediently and follow my orders; or..."

"I will obey! I will be loyal!"

Before Su Yao could finish speaking, Huvishka kowtowed and shouted:

"From this day forward, I will be your most loyal servant. If I ever betray you, may I be struck by lightning!"

When the dancer Aisha led Guo Jia and the others to the door of the secret chamber, they saw a comical scene of Huviska kneeling and wiping the bloodstains off Su Yao's boots.

The provincial governor had a fawning smile on his face, looking like a lapdog wagging its tail.

Seeing that Guo Jia and the others had arrived safely, Su Yao called out from afar:

"Pass down the order that the provincial governor has converted to the heavenly gods, and the city gates can be opened to welcome the army into the city. Also, invite all the officials in the city to come to the government office for an audience."
