Although Shen Du didn't die, he was scared half to death.

He was protected by his attendants, his face pale and bloodless.

He stammered, "What...what are you doing?"

"Are you trying to rebel?"

"I am the chieftain elected by the Shen clan!"

"I am the only son in nine generations of the Shen family!"

But no one paid him any attention.

The deputy captain, the squad leader, and Nurse Shen all sized each other up.

It wasn't until Nurse Shen spoke leisurely, "Heh, you speak so righteously, but what are you doing here?"

"And this one, he must have been sent by Zhou Xiong of Pukou City, right? Is he here to exercise surveillance powers? Is this how you're supposed to be spying?"

After hearing this, both the corporal and the deputy squad leader were speechless.

Then, the three of them exchanged glances.

Immediately...

"Shall the three of us go together?"

"Yes, there's strength in numbers!"

"No problem, kill Shen Du and present him to the Duke!"

They were of one mind and prepared to take action.

Shen Du needed to pee.

He quickly slipped behind the attendant, while simultaneously berating him, "You, how dare you act so recklessly! Have you considered the consequences?"

"Are you guys really courting death?"

Just like before, no one paid any attention to him.

The deputy captain, the squad leader, and Shen, the head nurse, stood in a semi-circle, each holding a short knife in their right hand, and slowly approached.

Every step they took was inexplicably synchronized.

As they drew closer, they generated immense pressure.

This forced Shen Du and his entourage to retreat.

Just when the pressure reached its peak, the corporal suddenly shouted something.

"Brothers, let me have Shen Du's head. Watch me deliver a fatal blow!"

He was about to rush out, unleashing a fierce slash.

He was grabbed by the vice-captain.

"I'm your brother, how can I let you take such a risk? I have to do it!"

"Shen Du, take this little knife of mine, can you block it?"

The vice-captain then charged forward.

Then... he was stopped by the quick-witted and agile Nurse Shen.

"Okay, okay, we agreed to play together, and you guys are trying to steal kills?"

"Shen Du's head is mine, and you can't take it away!"

As expected...

The sergeant stopped him.

Immediately, the newly formed trio of brothers fell into chaos.

"The head is mine, it must be mine!"

"We agreed to split it equally, but you're trying to take it all for yourselves. That's outrageous!"

"Seriously? You two are both going to be generals, how can you be so shameless?"

"Ha, what's a face?"

……

Seeing the chaotic situation, Shen Du, who was standing nearby, secretly thought that there was hope.

He quickly said to his loyal follower, "Quickly, quickly, take me with you, let's go find the clan chief."

"I'm going to kill these three people!"

The attendant turned to face him, revealing a cold and cruel smile, and said, "Chief, it's too late!"

Immediately, the waist knife was reversed and pressed directly onto Shen Du's shoulder.

The blade was pressed tightly against Shen Du's neck.

In an instant, his neck was slashed, and a trickle of blood oozed out.

The voice of a close attendant rang out.

It was addressed to Shen Du, and also to the three people who had not yet made their own judgments.

"This head is mine!"

"The pledge of allegiance is mine!"

"I want to surrender to the Duke!"

"I absolutely refuse to be bombarded with these two bastards' constant displays of affection anymore! They're insane, completely insane!"

"He/She has a serious illness!"

The sound shook the roof tiles!

The trio stopped in their tracks!

Immediately... his face was filled with pain!

isn't it?

brothers!

We spent ages fighting for it, and you got all the credit?

His entourage was quite generous.

He smiled and said to the three men, "Brothers, how about we consider this a joint achievement of the four of us?"

"However, there is also Su Lanxiang, who is a member of the Tongxin Alliance."

"We have to take it down."

"I heard that the Duke has a Demon Suppression Division, and they're particularly interested in the members of the Alliance of Hearts. We can't miss this opportunity!"

Before the three team leaders could react, Shen Du shouted, "Don't touch Lanxiang! If you have a problem, come at me!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

After three slaps, Shen Du had no choice but to shut his mouth.

The deputy captain, the squad leader, and Shen, the head nurse, immediately took their knives and went to the next room, where they dragged Su Lanxiang off the bed.

"What are you doing?"

Confused, Su Lanxiang saw the deputy captain and exclaimed, "I know you! Aren't you the one General Zhou Xiong sent to monitor the Shen clan?"

"You, you, you dare disobey General Zhou Xiong?"

The vice-captain chuckled: "That's none of your business."

"However, to be fair, you are truly beautiful, Madam. If I weren't going to serve the Duke, I would really like to have a heart-to-heart talk with you!"

Su Lanxiang's face instantly turned deathly pale.

The deputy captain snorted coldly and, along with the other two brothers, carried Su Lanxiang and Shen Du, who was already tied up, out of the room.

As soon as I arrived at the gate, I saw flames outside the chieftain's mansion.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that a large group of people had arrived outside the door, all of them members of the Shen clan, numbering in the hundreds!

They all gathered at the entrance, each carrying a weapon!

Upon seeing this scene, the deputy captain, the squad leader, Shen the guard, and his personal attendant all changed their expressions drastically, while Shen Du seemed like a person on the verge of death who had found a way out of a desperate situation.

The power seemed to spring from nowhere.

He shouted at the clan chief in the crowd.

"Chieftain, save me! Save me..."

"Help me..."

"These people are rebelling! Chieftain, kill them quickly and rescue Lanxiang and me!"

The crowd parted, and the clan chief slowly emerged, sighing, "Oh dear, Shen Du, it's not that I didn't want to save you, but didn't you see? I've been tied up too!"

"I'm barely able to take care of myself, how can I save you?!"

"When we get to General Zhang Shi's camp, don't blame me. Blame yourself."

"You could have surrendered to General Zhang Shi and enjoyed wealth, honor, and the preservation of your family's legacy and the Shen bloodline. But you insisted on going against the Duke for the sake of a woman."

"They've lost the people's hearts..."

"I can't help it!"
