General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 348: Beating the Downtrodden Dog (2)

After Li Guang was successfully escaped from the trap by his relatives who fought desperately for him, he rushed back to his fiefdom overnight.

He was able to escape this time thanks to his subordinates who swore to defend him to the death. He should have rewarded those subordinates who risked their lives to save him, but he became more cruel and wanted to execute all of their subordinates to let them taste the humiliation he had suffered, especially the leader, but he gave him a way to live. His subordinates could escape the death penalty by beating him up.

The determination in the eyes of the leading secret guard disappeared, and he signaled his men to take action. The men gritted their teeth and went forward to attack their captain. Three of them were so disappointed with their loyal masters that they chose to die with their captain.

They knew about the Second Prince's tyranny, but they didn't think it was a big deal. They worshipped martial arts, and this was how the world should be where the strong preyed on the weak. But they couldn't accept that their sworn allegiance had become the source of his anger. They had been humiliated by the Third Prince, so why should they bear the consequences?

Too mean, too irresponsible.

It's like a child who has no place to vent his anger and can only vent it on the people around him.

Sad and ridiculous.

This is not the master they want to be loyal to, so they would rather choose death.

On the way to the execution ground, the people in the fiefdom did not throw any rotten vegetables at them. They just looked at them with sympathy and shook their heads with regret, feeling sorry for them.

Apparently this isn't the first time this has happened.

Just when they thought they were going to die in humiliation, they suddenly fainted before going to the guillotine. When they woke up, they saw the third prince Li Hong.

"Are you curious why you see me?" Li Hong looked at the four people in front of him, but his eyes were fixed on the secret guard who was in the lead.

"The Third Prince saved us because he wanted us to join him?" The leading secret guard looked at Li Hong calmly and asked directly.

"If you say it's not, that's unlikely, but if it is, I won't accept it so easily." Li Hong smiled lightly, "I just can't bear to see that my second brother doesn't dare to face his own failure, so he uses you as a vent to vent his anger."

"You want to come and seek refuge with me? Of course, I welcome you, but this is not your only choice. I am different from my third brother. The money and status I have prepared for you are enough for you to live a worry-free life." Li Hong prepared a small box of gold for each of them. According to the living standards of ordinary people, this amount of money is enough for them to live a comfortable life for the rest of their lives without any problems.

"Really?" the other three secret guards asked in surprise.

"Why are you doing this?" The leading secret guard stared at Li Hong. He didn't understand and didn't comprehend why Li Hong wanted to save them. They were just useless cannon fodder. He saved them at such a huge cost, but wanted to let them go?

"You can understand it as deliberately going against my second brother! He wants you to die, and I want you to live!" Li Hong smiled. He didn't say any big truths, let alone say any nice words. He just used the second prince as an excuse because he was sure that was the reason.

"If we choose to leave, will you really not kill us?" asked another secret guard.

"I, Li Hong, always keep my word. Okay! Even if I say I won't let you go, can you escape?" Li Hong said with a smile, and sure enough, the four of them all changed their expressions.

"Haha, don't worry! I won't treat you four as toys. If you want to leave, you can leave at any time. No one will chase you." Li Hong looked at the leading secret guard, and the two looked at each other for a while.

The leading secret guard saw the seriousness in Li Hong's eyes, and while he breathed a sigh of relief, he also looked at Li Hong seriously.

I originally thought that I was just being pulled into another vortex, but unexpectedly, there was a turn of events and a glimmer of hope.
