Da Niu's nose pricked, and he stared blankly at Da Niu. He could have left directly, but he came back just to minimize the casualties of these brothers and sisters.
"Da Niu, listen to me. As long as you open the gate and surrender, King Chu won't do anything to us, not to mention so many people following you!" Wang Er hurriedly shouted twice, stopping the remaining people from acting.
"Don't make a move. Da Niu will listen to me, he will listen to me!" Wang Er stood in front of the long spear. "He was very obedient when he was a child."
"This king gives you the time it takes for one incense stick to burn. If it fails, this king can't care about so much!" Ye Feng said coldly, "After all, there are many things outside!"
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. The old man only needs the time it takes for one incense stick to burn. If it fails, the old man will accept the punishment himself!" Wang Er said in a hurry.
After communicating with Ye Feng, Wang Er knew that once the news was spread, many princes would be restless.
He also knew that many people had beloved relatives and brothers under Da Niu, so they absolutely could not fight, or at least minimize casualties as much as possible.
"Brothers, look, these are your brothers and good friends. Are you willing to attack them?" A stream of tears fell, "Would your brothers attack you? Have you ever thought about what would happen to your wives and children if you were really gone!"
Da Niu originally fought desperately for the sake of many civilians, but for so long, his thoughts gradually shifted. At least he felt that he should not be mediocre, but hearing these words, he felt a dull heartache.
Everyone has wives and children, but the person who called himself the Rain Master sent by Zhang Jiao still stood aside. If he was not completely sure, he could not speak directly, otherwise it would harm himself and others, and no one would have a good ending!
"Rain Master, how should this matter be handled today? After all, they are brothers. I'm afraid many brothers can't do it!" Da Niu bowed and asked, "Or should we just let it go?"
The Rain Master slammed the teacup on the table and then cursed angrily, "How dare you! Have you forgotten the General of Heaven's command? Do you want these people to die here?"
"Let me tell you, the reason you were able to survive the plague safely was all because of my general," the Rain Master tidied his clothes and said coldly, "My general can control the plague, and he can naturally release the plague. You will all die then!"
This was also one of Da Niu's reasons for hesitation. It was not for any other reason, but this Rain Master was indeed a bit capable. He was afraid that his momentary lapse in judgment would delay others, so he could only bow and quickly say, "Yes, yes, yes, I will give the order now!"
The Rain Master pointed at Wang Er and said coldly, "I think he is the one who is instigating people. Kill him, and everything will be solved. I don't believe Ye Feng can turn the sky upside down!"
"Sir, that is my..." Da Niu was about to speak when he met the Rain Master's glare. "I don't care who you were before, but remember, now you belong to the jurisdiction of the General of Heaven. You are registered in the Heavenly Court. Do you want to defy the will of Heaven?"
Da Niu's legs softened, and he knelt on the ground with a thud, immediately silenced. He looked at his hands and then at Wang Er, recalling his childhood appearance. A few tears hit the ground heavily.
"Don't you think about your brothers? Are you going to send them all to hell, one by one calling your name!" the Rain Master said sarcastically, "I'm hungry, I'm cold..."
Da Niu clenched his fists tightly and suddenly stood up, "I'll kill you!" His visible hands were still trembling.
The Rain Master slowly lay back on the chair and said slowly, "Alright, kill me. See what happens to you and your brothers!"
Even though the Rain Master's legs trembled, he still forced himself to be strong. "Kill me, and I'll see what you can do. Surrender with your men. If he could accept you just now, what about now? Lead your brothers to death?"
Da Niu's dagger loosened and fell to the ground with a bang. He sat on the ground, holding his head and weeping. The Rain Master took a step forward without a sound, covering the water on the ground, and gently stroked Da Niu's head with his hand.
"Lost lamb, I will forgive you, and heaven will forgive you!" The Rain Master's words calmed Da Niu down. As if bewitched, he gave orders to everyone.
"Brothers, charge forward and kill them all. Rewards will be given accordingly, and you will not be short of benefits."
The Rain Master flicked the white powder from his fingernails with a contemptuous look, "In the end, you still have to listen to me. You've wasted so much for nothing, you idiot!"
"Brother Da Niu, this." Several people were stunned and looked back at Da Niu, whose face was cold.
Da Niu took a step forward, raised his hand, and the head of a wide-eyed man fell to the ground. "Those who don't obey should die now!"
"Now, are you willing to make a move?" Da Niu licked his scarlet lips, staring at the large saber in his hand.
Better my friend dies than I do.
For a moment, everyone raised their sabers and rushed out. A melodious song sounded at the same time.
"No clothes, no clothes, sharing the same armor with you!"
"..."
The mournful song was mixed with strong emotions. In the deep winter, snowflakes slowly fell, landing on Da Niu's body.
Da Niu shivered and suddenly reacted. Amidst the song, he walked step by step towards the Rain Master.
The Rain Master looked at the burly Da Niu and the saber in his hand. For a moment, he sat on the ground and retreated continuously, his voice trembling, "You, what do you want to do? You are rebelling, heaven will never, absolutely never spare you!"
"If there is sin, let me bear it alone, but what have they done!" Da Niu questioned the Rain Master.
Unfortunately, the Rain Master usually found Zhang Jiao so persuasive, but when it came to himself, he couldn't say a word even with a beating. His face suddenly darkened, "Rebellion, rebellion!"
"Try it now, see if your so-called heaven will help you!" Da Niu sneered, raised the saber high, and before the Rain Master could say anything, the saber fell, and the Rain Master died!
Da Niu collapsed on the ground as if all his strength had been drained. He quickly sought forgiveness, "Heavenly Father, I had to do this for these brothers. Please forgive me."
"If you want to blame someone, blame me, Da Niu alone. Please don't involve them!" Da Niu pleaded bitterly. Soon, he suddenly felt the sky darken and lay on the ground as if resigned, "Heavenly Father, you act. Da Niu is willing to die to atone for his sins."
"Hahahahaha, you think clearly." Ye Feng laughed a few times and said sarcastically, "Unfortunately, heaven does not agree!"
Da Niu opened his eyes and saw Ye Feng appear before him. He immediately became extremely vigilant and stuttered, "You, you actually came in. What happened to my brothers? What did you do to them?"
"This king is not a fool who instigates people. Look back, your brothers are really waiting for you!" Ye Feng said coldly. At this point, there was no need to hide anything from Da Niu.
Da Niu originally wanted to guard against him, but he thought that he had lost everything now. What else could he lose? He turned around generously and saw that almost everyone was holding a pot of wine and drinking happily.
"Brother Da Niu, we're just waiting for you!" a playmate waved to Da Niu and called out, "King Chu..."
Before he could finish speaking, Da Niu knelt on the ground and looked earnestly at King Chu. Without a word, he kowtowed heavily, "King Chu, thank you for sparing my brothers. Since that's the case, whether you want to kill or butcher me, Da Niu will obey your command!"
"Alright, this king does have something to ask you!" Ye Feng looked at Da Niu with a smile. "Do you know what 'obey your command' means?"
Da Niu scratched his head. He realized that he had heard the Rain Master say it so many times that he remembered it clearly, but if he was asked for its specific meaning, he really didn't know. He could only shake his head foolishly.
"Well, since you don't know, and you don't let the children study, do you want them to be blind like you? You don't even want the opportunity this king gives you!" Ye Feng said coldly, "Do you want the children to study?"
Da Niu's face was full of excitement when he heard this. He quickly drew his saber. The guards on the left and right blocked Ye Feng, but Ye Feng gently pushed them away, looking at Da Niu with interest. "He won't make a move."
Da Niu looked honest and said in a hurry, "King Chu, as long as you say it here, Da Niu will cut off his hand now, and I will never threaten you again!"
Ye Feng smiled without a word. Da Niu thought Ye Feng had agreed to his terms and was about to chop off his left hand excitedly.
"Slap!" Before he could react, Da Niu's back of the head was hit hard. Wang Er glared at him angrily, "You brat, how can you help King Chu with his work after cutting off your hand, and how can you repay his kindness?"
"Kindness? Work? What is all this!" Da Niu was confused for a moment. He wiped his snot and tears with his sleeve and said hurriedly, "Uncle Wang, you're fine. I thought something happened to you. It's great!"
Wang Er gave Da Niu a side glance. "I wouldn't be in trouble even if you were! Fortunately..."
"Uncle Wang, you know I'm impatient. Don't hide anything. Tell me quickly what you and King Chu agreed on?" Da Niu was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, but Wang Er refused to reveal any information.
"You should be anxious. Who told you to not listen to King Chu no matter what?" Wang Er said indignantly, constantly observing Ye Feng's expression.
Ye Feng remained silent. Seeing Da Niu becoming more and more agitated, he slowly said, "Still tell him. There's still use for him. What if he gets sick from being anxious!"
Wang Er hesitated no longer. He was waiting for Ye Feng's words, otherwise he would be like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror, not knowing whether he was inside or out.
He explained everything quickly. Da Niu slapped his forehead and stood up abruptly, saying in a hurry, "This is bad, this is bad, something big is going to happen!"
