Chapter 193: Kill the Zhao 133

"No blame for past actions? Ha!"

The man standing behind Shi Xiangyang was none other than the Dock Master of Youlong Dock, Chang Yishen!

In Jianghu, he was known as a hero whose righteousness reached the skies, and his chivalrous name was widely acclaimed.

Chang Yishen sneered, "Will the Luo Family not hold us accountable for past actions? Such deceptive nonsense, even a child wouldn’t believe it."

He emphasized, "The rules of the Luo Family have always been ruthless; they have cleansed all who have ever betrayed the Luo Family or its organizations, without exception!"

Shi Xiangyang turned his head slightly and solemnly said, "Brother Chang is right; the Luo Family will never let us go."

After uttering those words!

Shi Xiangyang looked as if he had lost all strength, his face filled with immense despair, and said tearfully, "Zaixing, he’s beyond help now."

The reason he had dared to risk it all and fight back was that he had previously made sure his son, Shi Zaixing, was safe.

Who would have thought that Shi Zaixing, hiding in such a secret stronghold, would still be found and captured by the Luo Family?

The sudden blow instantly shattered Shi Xiangyang’s fighting spirit.

Chang Yishen fell momentarily silent, then lamented, "At this point, it’s likely that we are all beyond help, it’s just a matter of dying sooner or later."

Shi Xiangyang suddenly lifted his head, looked at Chang Yishen with a face full of regret, and said mournfully, "It’s all my fault, all of this is my fault. If it weren’t for my insisting that you lead the rebellion, you wouldn’t be in this situation..."

"Nonsense!"

Chang Yishen, with an expression as firm as iron, interrupted, "There’s no turning back after launching the arrow. The reason I joined the rebellion was that I had long wanted to rebel, not because you persuaded me."

Upon hearing this, Shi Xiangyang couldn’t help but feel ashamed, nodding and bitterly smiling, "Brother Chang is right; if we were afraid of death or greedy for luxury and riches, we wouldn’t have come to this point."

Taking a deep breath, he gradually calmed down and asked, "Brother Chang, what should we do now?"

Chang Yishen, his eyes bright and resolute, said, "Even though we are certain to die, we must die spectacularly, taking down as many as we can with us."

Shi Xiangyang’s spirit was lifted, as he turned around and solemnly bowed, "I am willing to die alongside a gentleman!"

Chang Yishen took Shi Xiangyang’s hand, speaking earnestly, "According to Lord Greedy Wolf’s instructions, our task is not to occupy this county town but to hold down these Luo family troops for as long as possible."

Shi Xiangyang frowned slightly and hesitated, "What do you mean?"

Chang Yishen smiled, "Whether we block them outside the city or let them into the city, either way is to hold them back."

Shi Xiangyang took a deep breath, his expression stern, "To set ourselves at a place where we must fight to survive?"

Chang Yishen laughed heartily, "Sometimes, a moth flying into the flame is not out of stupidity; perhaps they are just too cold."

Shi Xiangyang nodded firmly, "We are too cold, so let us use the fresh blood of those noble sons and their lackeys to warm ourselves, even if our end is like that of the moths, we shall have no regrets in death!"

Chang Yishen laughed heartily, "Well said! No regrets in death! Xiang, let’s be brothers again in the next life!"

Moments later!

Shi Xiangyang poked his head out again and shouted across the moat, "Shi is willing to surrender, but on one condition: please, Lord Luo, spare Youlong Dock and all the city’s people."

Ding Zhigang was overjoyed, repeatedly saying, "No problem, my lord will grant amnesty to the entire city, effective immediately."

Not long after!

Clanking sounds~

Gears turned, chains slid.

The drawbridge slowly lowered, connecting both sides of the moat.

The city gate slowly opened.

Shi Xiangyang appeared in front of the city gate, having already bound himself tightly.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, he walked to the middle of the drawbridge and then knelt down on both knees, bowing down.

Seeing this scene!

The army under Luo Peiyun and Luo Zhaodong was instantly abuzz.

"No way, he really surrendered?"

"That was too easy; I thought a great battle was about to break out."

"Hahaha, great! Let’s hurry into the city for some good food and drinks as a reward."

"After entering the city, will the lord allow us to loot for three days?"

...

"Is he that cowardly?"

In the night, Xigou glanced at Shi Xiangyang, bored, yawned, and mumbled, "It couldn’t be a feigned surrender, could it?"

Fang Zhixing furrowed his brow, also feeling it was too easy, and replied, "Normally, anyone daring enough to rebel has very strong mental fortitude and wouldn’t just fold because their son was captured."

Hearing his analysis, Xigou thought for a moment and pondered, "Perhaps, Shi Zaixing is Shi Xiangyang’s Achilles’ heel; after all, he is his biological son. Even a tiger wouldn’t eat its cubs."

At that moment, Luo Peiyun and Luo Zhaodong, neither rushed nor slow, walked onto the drawbridge, came before Shi Xiangyang.

"Shi Xiangyang, the wise man submits to circumstances."

Luo Peiyun smiled and nodded, "Your prompt surrender is actually good for both parties."

Shi Xiangyang lifted his head, his face expressionless, "I seek nothing else, only hoping the two lords can keep your promise."

Luo Peiyun spoke with his hands behind him, "I naturally will keep the promise; both you and your son will be safe and sound."

Luo Zhaodong suddenly asked, "What about Chang Yishen, is he surrendering or not?"

Shi Xiangyang replied promptly, "He’s still inside the city; I will go and personally persuade him to surrender."

Luo Zhaodong smiled satisfiedly, looking at Luo Peiyun, and said cheerfully, "Shall we enter the city now?"

Luo Peiyun slightly frowned, pondering for a moment, then shook his head, "Not yet, let’s wait for Chang Yishen to come out and surrender..."

"Humph!"

Before he could finish, a cold sneer came.

"Don’t bother, I, Chang Yishen, would rather die than surrender."

A middle-aged man in a black robe appeared on top of the gate tower, disheveled and appearing almost crazed, holding a long sword.

Shi Xiangyang turned his head to look up, as Luo Peiyun and others all looked upwards.

"Brother Chang, what are you doing?" Shi Xiangyang cried out anxiously.
