"The nobles' money doesn't feed useless trash!"

"You have to show us results first!"

"Once we see results, then we'll give you the money!"

"Oh?"

The corner of the face beneath the mask curved up slightly!

The next instant, sword-light rose, and the head of the noble who had just spoken actually rolled off just like that!

"You... you..."

All the nobles were stunned.

They stared at the scene before them, faces full of shock.

Yin Feng, however, smiled and said: "Is this result enough?"

As he spoke, he walked toward every noble present!

The crowd had long been terrified by the scene before them, and instantly, everyone stumbled back in fright!

Yin Feng stopped before the crowd:

"If you want results, fine!"

"Several days ago, Zhang Liang and Huang Chao clashed with the nobles of Handan Commandery while collecting taxes. Now, Yu Huatian's men are about to arrive, intending to execute this entire batch of nobles!"

"Give me ten million coins, and I'll guarantee they don't die — I'll make Yu Huatian's men suffer a crushing blow!"

"Is this result enough?"

"You... you..."

The crowd swallowed hard, not daring to speak!

Everyone was terrified by his ruthless methods.

Yin Feng continued: "You nobles — where exactly did your vast wealth come from? Do I even need to say it?"

"Without the rewards and grants from my ancestors, you'd be nothing but commoners!"

"I came to you today saying I wanted to cooperate with you, but really I just wanted to give you Qin nobles one last chance!"

"If you cooperate with me, I'll kill Ying Su, you keep your enfeoffment system — we each take what we need!"

"And if you don't cooperate with me, I'll kill every last one of you, then seek out the old Six States' nobles to work with instead!"

"Although they've lost their states, the money and grain in their hands haven't suffered a single bit of loss. The Six States' nobles joining forces would be far better supplied than you!"

"I'll count to three. After three, if you don't submit — then die!"

"One!"

"Two!"

The moment his words left his mouth, every noble was trembling with fear!

And before the count of three could finish, noble after noble dropped to their knees: "We're willing to cooperate with you!"

Yet, just as the corner of Yin Feng's mouth curved up—

A descendant of Shang Yang spoke:

"But we have one condition!"

"Kill Zhang Liang and Huang Chao!"29

"Killing these two will prove your ability!"

"Then we can establish deep cooperation!"

"All the expenses needed in the future, we'll contribute our share!"

"But if you can't promise to kill these two, don't even dream of getting a single coin out of that ten million!"

"Even if you kill us, you won't get a single coin!"

"Hmm?"

At those words, Yin Feng's brow furrowed slightly. After a moment, he nodded: "Agreed!"

"Then come with the money at this exact time tomorrow!"

"Fine!"

With that, Yin Feng turned and left!

And the moment he was gone, the faces of every noble turned dark and cold: "Kill this man!"

"This man is so arrogant — he dares to kill openly in public, and on top of that, he still fantasizes about overthrowing our Qin. He won't survive!"

The group seethed with fury.

But someone waved a hand: "The most important thing now is dealing with Ying Su!"

"He first took care of the nobles of Handan Commandery, and now he wants to arrest everyone who once sent troops!"

"Once he's arrested them, what does this boy want to do?"

"Isn't it obvious — kill them?"

"It's only ten million coins — give it to him!"

"If he succeeds, then every one of us will profit!"

"And if he fails, it's just ten million coins!"

"Ten million coins, split among so many of us — each person only puts up a mere two hundred thousand coins!"

"This little bit of money is nothing to us!"

"Just treat it as entertainment!"

"What do you all say?"

The crowd thought it over and over, and finally felt the Qiao family head's words made sense!

GLOSSARY:

【Zhang Liang, Huang Chao, Yu Huatian, Ying Su, Yin Feng, Shang Yang, Qiao family head, Handan Commandery, Six States, Qin】

Finally, they all nodded:

"Then let us first see if he can truly protect the noble families of Handan!"

"Remember, Yu Yu Huatian took two thousand peasant soldiers there!"

"If he can resolve these people, and moreover, kill Huang Chao and Zhang Liang, then this person is worth our investment!"

"I do not need him to protect the noble families of Handan, but Huang Chao and Zhang Liang must die!"

"These two are truly hateful!"

One person spoke.

Instantly, everyone clenched their fists!

In that instant, they all thought of everything Huang Chao and Zhang Liang had done in Xianyang City!

For many, their hatred for these two even surpassed their hatred for Facing Ying Su!

"Kill them!"

"Must kill them!"

The crowd exchanged glances and words, and then, they made a decision!

Inside a tavern in Xianyang City!

When Yin Feng left the tavern, he came directly to this place!

He bowed with utmost reverence to a man with a head full of silver hair:

"The nobles of Xianyang City are willing to cooperate!"

"But the condition is that I must promise to kill Zhang Liang and Huang Chao!"

"Zhang Liang?"

Causing the man to frown severely!

"You agreed to them?"

Yin Feng bowed: "Yes!"

"You dare!"

The silver-haired man drew his sword; instantly, the shark teeth transformed into a giant dragon!

Sword qi like a bolt of white silk directly split a table apart.

And Yin Feng trembled all over!

Finally, he spoke: "We must take the nobles' money, but Zhang Liang cannot be killed!"

"Whoever dares kill Zhang Liang is as good as killing me!"

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Leaving only Yin Feng, staring at the table split by sword qi, with every hair on his body standing on end!
