The Deranged Prince Ning's Heir
Heyang County
The peaceful and idyllic life of the past is gone.
Under the relentless onslaught of war, it became a living hell.
The streets were littered with corpses.
The air was thick with the smell of blood and gunpowder.
The once bustling streets are now deathly silent.
Oppressive, somber, tragic, bloody.
It sends chills down one's spine and leaves one feeling terrified and suffocated.
Suddenly, several disheveled soldiers with satisfied expressions emerged from the shops on the left side of the street.
This is a cosmetics shop.
The shop owner thought she could escape danger by hiding in the cellar.
That's truly naive and ignorant.
Now look what happened; not only did she fail to protect her assets, she also lost everything herself.
It's utterly stupid and ridiculous.
Doesn't she know the saying, "Bandits pass through like a sieve, soldiers pass through like a comb"?
"City women are so comfortable, so fair and tender, and so big, much better than those country girls."
"Haha, it's just too delicate, it can't take much playing with, it's out of breath in just a few moments."
"His Highness the Heir is truly considerate of us, allowing his brothers to plunder the city for three days. He's much better than General Chen."
"It's so great to follow His Highness the Heir! When our Prince becomes Emperor, we brothers will surely rise to great heights."
"Yes, yes, I'm so excited just thinking about it."
"Hahaha... Look at you all, so spineless. Let's go, next place."
Several soldiers, carrying or slinging the stolen gold, silver, and valuables on their backs, swaggered toward another shop.
And such a thing,
This is happening constantly in every corner of Heyang County.
Many people fled.
However, quite a few remained.
People always harbor wishful thinking, believing that these rebel armies will only seize the city and not massacre its inhabitants.
After all, the Prince Ning also shares the surname Xiao; it's just a matter of the king changing hands frequently.
Who would massacre their own city?
Furthermore, unwilling to abandon their family business and property, they disobeyed the government's orders and chose to hide in a cellar or secret room, hoping to escape the calamity.
But they were wrong.
Blinded by rage, Prince Ning's Heir had no intention of letting anyone in Heyang County go.
He wanted everyone in the county to pay for the humiliation he had suffered.
Therefore, after capturing Heyang City, he disregarded General Chen's obstruction and ordered his soldiers to plunder the city for three days.
One reason was to win people's hearts and boost morale, so as to reward the soldiers.
Secondly, it was to settle personal scores and avenge past humiliations.
Only with the blood and lives of these lowly people can the shame and stains left on him be washed away, and only then can his dignity and nobility as the heir of the Prince Ning's Heir be restored.
As for Chen Zhong, who was hindering him...
Disrespectful of hierarchy, arrogant and rude, and prone to insubordination.
Take your personal guards and get out of the city to hunt down those fleeing commoners.
Anyone who dares to escape
The Crown Prince then submitted a memorial to his father, accusing him of failing to carry out his duties effectively and delaying military operations, and dismissed him from his position as the commander of the Thunderclap Battalion.
Hahaha...
Thus, the entire Thunderclap Battalion fell into the hands of this young master.
In the County Yamen government hall,
Sitting on the throne of the county magistrate, the Prince Ning's Heir sipped his fine wine while secretly plotting his next move.
And at his feet,
A petite and slender woman was lying face down.
The woman's clothes were disheveled, her black hair was loose, and her exposed skin and face were covered with clearly visible purplish-blue marks.
This makes her already delicate and fragile temperament even more endearing.
The woman, covered in wounds and having suffered countless humiliations, was none other than the daughter of Xiucai Liu.
He was also the culprit who caused his son to be humiliated and lose face that day.
If it weren't for this woman,
The lowly people of Heyang County would not have besieged Drunken Immortal Tower.
If it weren't for this woman,
Zhang Huaimin wouldn't bring people to confront him directly, lest he lose face and all his prestige.
It's all that bitch's fault.
I, the young master, invited you to come and drink and have fun with me, which is an honor for you. Yet you dare to cry and whine and refuse to submit.
How are you now?
They're still groveling at my feet like a stray dog, letting me torment them at will.
As for that other bastard...
He had already chopped it up and thrown it into the wilderness to feed the wild dogs when he left Heyang County.
He wants everyone to pay the price.
Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.
"Hahaha... The wine is the same as the one from that day, but the taste is just different."
Why don't you try some too?
The Prince Ning's Heir roughly turned the woman's face over with his foot, then slowly poured the wine from the wine jug onto her face, as if watering a flower.
"Hahaha... How does it taste? Isn't it delicious? Hahaha..."
His cheeks, hair, and clothes were soaked with spilled wine; he looked disheveled and humiliated.
But the woman's body didn't struggle at all; her expression was blank, her eyes empty, like a living dead person who had lost her soul.
That's a state of utter despair that arises from a profound sense of loss, a feeling of having no will to live, and a complete annihilation of all hope.
This state of affairs had already begun when her father was tortured to death right in front of her.
"Boring, like a block of wood."
Looking down at the unresponsive woman at his feet, the Prince Ning's Heir's eyes immediately showed disgust.
"Someone, take this away. It's yours now, remember to line up!"
"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness."
Upon hearing this, the guards outside the hall immediately rushed in, then bowed and scraped, wagging their tails in gratitude, like dogs that had been given a piece of meat by their master.
Although this woman has been tormented beyond recognition by His Highness the Heir, she is still the most talented woman in Heyang County.
Such a beauty, possessing both looks and talent, was never something these rough, uncouth soldiers could have dared to touch in the past.
Unexpectedly, they have such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity today.
Sure enough, following the His Highness the Heir means you get to eat meat.
Go through fire and water!
His Highness the Heir.
As the guards carried away the woman he had already had his way with like a precious treasure, a hint of mockery and disdain flashed in the eyes of the Prince Ning's Heir.
"A bunch of country bumpkins who've never seen the world, they get all excited over the smallest favors, they're not respectable at all."
The Prince Ning's Heir sat up straight again and poured himself a glass of wine.
He used to hate this place.
But now,
He began to like this place.
Without the control and nagging of his father and mother, he doesn't need to put on airs as the heir of the Prince Ning's Residence's Mansion all day long.
There's no need to scheme and plot against other brothers.
Here,
He is king, he is god.
This feeling of being able to do whatever you want and act without restraint is just so exhilarating.
No wonder my father was determined to rebel.
So this is what it feels like to be an emperor.
It was even more wonderful than he had imagined.
Absolutely wonderful.
What to do?
He seems to be liking this feeling more and more, becoming increasingly addicted to it.
But my father wants to become emperor first.
He can only be the crown prince.
Father is still young.
He may have to wait many more years.
Even decades.
He didn't want to wait.
What should we do then?
Father,
Can you tell me,
What should I do???
