Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

"Just step forward, if you can withstand their whips for half an hour,"

"I admit that the Tanguts still have some spirit."

Upon hearing this, the three Han Chinese

He couldn't help but look at the Tangut nobles in the hall with hostility.

When the Tangut nobles saw the three men with whip marks all over their faces,

It is naturally familiar to everyone.

Many tyrannical Tangut nobles had such Han Chinese slaves in their households.

Seeing the three men's hostile gazes,

I also know it won't take half an hour.

The three of them would beat them to death.

Zhao Yuan waited for a while,

Seeing that no one in the hall stepped forward,

Disappointed,

"No wonder the Tangut people perished."

Then he turned to Yelü Nanxian and said...

"I heard you are a princess of the Liao Kingdom,"

“We’ve already seen the Tangut dance,”

"Please ask the Empress Dowager of Western Xia to perform a Khitan dance for us."

Upon hearing this, Yelü Nanxian

My body stiffened involuntarily.

She was both a princess of the Liao Dynasty and...

She was also the Empress Dowager of Western Xia.

Dance for the King of Liang

This would undoubtedly damage the national dignity of both countries.

Li Ren'ai, who was originally convulsing, also struggled to speak,

"Mother, no."

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "So the King of Western Xia was faking his death."

"Then give him back some of the suffering you've endured."

The three Han men immediately raised their whips.

Without hesitation, he slashed at Li Ren'ai.

Seeing her son rolling around in pain from the beating, Yelü Nanxian hurriedly said...

"I am willing to jump, please spare him, Your Majesty."

Zhao Yuan paused for a moment,

He then nodded and said,

"Okay, stop it."

The three men found it extremely satisfying to see the Western Xia king writhing under their whip.

Upon hearing Zhao Yuan's words,

Only then did they reluctantly stop.

Yelü Nanxian gracefully walked into the hall.

They danced gracefully.

Compared to the slender young concubines behind her,

Yelü Nanxian, in her thirties, possessed a different kind of charm.

Her voluptuous figure exudes the charm of a mature woman.

However, her reserved nature made her movements somewhat stiff.

It lacks a lot of aesthetic appeal.

Zhao Yuan smiled at Li Jun and the others,

"The Empress Dowager of Western Xia's dance,"

"What do you think?"

Ruan Xiaoqi shook her head and said,

"They're not even as good as those young women who can dance."

Li Jun laughed and said, "You really didn't dance well."

"However, its value lies in its distinguished status,"

“Look at His Highness and his men.”

Everyone looked over,

Sure enough, those who saw His Highness standing there were all secretly watching.

Many people still had a greedy glint in their eyes.

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "That's just how people are."

"The more unattainable something is, the better it is."

"This camel meat is quite good,"

"Everyone, now that you've eaten and drunk your fill, go and rest."

"The surprise attack on the Xingqing Prefecture navy is the greatest achievement."

"Those who aren't afraid of becoming eunuchs can freely choose two people from the palace,"

"I'll take it back with me when I go back to Tokyo."

Li Jun laughed and said, "We just took a boat trip."

"How can I deserve to be credited with the first contribution?"

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "If it weren't for you piloting the boat,"

"We also cannot get to Xingqing Prefecture so quickly."

"Without Zhang Shun's brothers blowing up the city wall,"

"It won't be easy for the army to enter Xingqing Prefecture."

Li Jun nodded and said, "I didn't expect two thousand catties of gunpowder to be so powerful."

Even the Zhang brothers, who were such good swimmers, couldn't escape.

Zhao Yuan said, "I'll have the gunpowder bureau conduct some experiments later."

"Estimate the power of the gunpowder,"

"To avoid injuring our own people as well."

The group chatted for a while longer.

Zhao Yuan saw that many people were already standing in the main hall.

Yelü Nanxian, who was dancing in the middle, was already sweating profusely.

This finally made Yelü Nanxian stop.

Are there any descendants of Zhang Yuan in the main hall?

Upon hearing this, the group

He couldn't help but look at the two refined-looking Han Chinese men standing in front of him.

The two of them also knew what their ancestors had done.

I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine.

But they also knew they couldn't hide it anymore.

I had no choice but to bow in greeting.

Seeing that Zhang Yuan truly had descendants, Zhao Yuan immediately shouted,

"Men, seize them!"

"Order Li Kui's troops to exterminate their entire families,"

"No one may escape."

"Wu Liu, the three of you go and carry out the execution,"

"Beat them to death. If Zhang Yuan hadn't helped Li Yuanhao,"

"Perhaps the Western Xia wouldn't have caused such severe damage."

"They bear responsibility for your suffering."

Chapter 1895 Traitors Must Die

Li Jun watched as his personal guards dragged the two away, and asked in surprise...

Who is Zhang Yuan?

Zhao Yuan had previously learned about the past of Western Xia from Zhong Shidao.

That's when I learned about this person.

"This thief was originally from Huayin,"

"Having failed the imperial examinations repeatedly, he wanted to find a job on the border of the Song Dynasty."

"And yet, no one appreciates it."

"This fellow feels his talents are not being recognized,"

"Then he fled to Xingqing Prefecture and sought refuge with Li Yuanhao."

"If it's just to prove one's own talent, that's fine."

"This guy actually became Li Yuanhao's chief strategist!"

"He devised a plan for Li Yuanhao to destroy the Song Dynasty."

"Although he didn't succeed either,"

"But it also caused a lot of suffering to the people of Shaanxi."

When Ruan Xiaoqi heard this,

Unable to contain himself, he slapped his thigh and cursed.

"Such a traitor should be skinned alive,"

"They actually led the Western Xia people to harm their own people."

"I suspect there are still many such treacherous villains in this hall,"

“Kill them all, cleanly.”

The Han Chinese in the palace initially thought they should have a better chance of survival than the Tanguts.

Who would have thought they would be the first to suffer?

"General, spare our lives! We had no choice!"

In an instant, more than half of the people below knelt down.

There were already quite a few Han Chinese in the Western Xia Dynasty.
