Chapter 621

Guo Yi’s expression was dark. He did not expect himself to land in this situation. He did not expect to lose.

“How is it? Will you obey?” Liu Mang said as he placed his sword at Guo Yi’s neck

“Obey?” Guo Yi wanted to struggle and said no but he was pressed to the ground by Guan Hai. Guo Yi had several bones broken as a result of falling off the horse. “If it was not because of that damn animal. How could I have lost?” Guo Yi shouted malevolently. He would not have been captured had the horse not thrown him off.

“Are you talking about Yeguang? Guo Yi. Have you forgotten whose horse that belongs to?” Liu Mang indifferently asked.

It was the horse that Guo Yi robbed from them.

“Guo Yi. You lost not because you were unlucky. You lost because you were too greedy!” Liu Mang said as he looked at his horse. Yeguang was a good horse with the intelligence of a human child that was why it could follow commands. Liu Mang called for it with his bamboo flute and Yeguang came over. Yeguang could also do other simply things like fight, lean over, or jump.

When Yeguang leaned over, Guo Yi could not react fast enough and was thrown off. That was how he got captured by Liu Mang.

“I...!” Guo Yi also felt regret as it was the horse that did him in. “Your Highness. I will not forget your kindness if you let me go!” Guo Yi said to Liu Mang.

“Let you go?”

“Yes. Let me go!”

“Where will you go?” Liu Mang asked playfully.

“If you let me go, I will leave Xinye. I will leave Yangzhou and go to a place where you cannot see me!” Guo Yi looked at Liu Mang as he begged.

“What about the horse?” Liu Mang asked as he caressed Yeguang. Yeguang was very pleased and snuggled back to show its love.

“The horse belongs to Your Highness.”

“What about Hao Liu?”

“I already killed him.”

“Did I lose?”

“You did not lose. But you did not win! You want me dead? Fine! Then I will die! And it would not be bad to have you accompany me!”

“Hm?”

“What are you guys doing? Advance! Kill Liu Mang and the others!” Guo Yi shouted hysterically.

“I want to see who dares! Guo Yi is already being obstinate but will the rest of you follow in his footsteps?” Liu Mang finally understood why Guo Yi was being so confident. That is because Guo Yi’s men have not yet been defeated.

“Guo Yi’s crimes would easily result in the eradication of his entire family! Do not be misled by him! As long as you put down your weapons, you will not be held responsible!” Liu Mang said in hopes that the soldiers would listen to him.

His words were clearly effective as the soldiers all started to hesitate.

“You won’t be held responsible? If you had not followed me then you can do that and beg in front of the King of Shu! Otherwise, you all are destined to accompany me!” Guo Yi continued to struggle.

“Shut up!” Guan Hai wanted to stop Guo Yi from inciting the troops any further but Guo Yi’s words have already aroused his own men.

When they had learned of Liu Mang’s real identity, they were afraid. They also wanted to avoid being held responsible. However, Guo Yi had reminded them that they too, had engaged in corruption. Guo Yi was greedy but he wasn’t stingy. He had shared at least forty percent of the ill gained profits to his men. That was why they were willing to sacrifice their lives for him.

Those who think this way started to surround Liu Mang and the others.

“Your General is in my hands. Are you not afraid that I would kill him?” Liu Mang held his sword at Guo Yi’s neck. Liu Mang did not really want to fight against these soldiers as one way or another, they were his people. They were all part of Yangzhou. Hao Liu and the others were killed because Liu Mang could tell that all of them were villains.

“Do you all have any other way out? Disregarding taking the land from the people, you all have raised your sword against the King of Shu! This disrespect to the King normally results in death!” Guo Yi continued to say.

“Kill them! Do not worry about me! Having the King of Shu accompany me in death is not so bad! The world is huge! If you have enough money, you can go anywhere!” Guo Yi added. He forgotten that it was not just the Xinye defenders but the common people that were watching this. The people who were almost killed were all watching this.

Guo Yi had already gone mad. He wanted Liu Mang to die with him. There were over a thousand soldiers. Even if all of them willingly gave their heads, it would take half a day to kill them all. Liu Mang dared to rebel because he knew that the three of them could capture Guo Yi. He just did not expect Guo Yi to go crazy.

“Come! Kill! Hahaha! Liu Mang! You either let me go or die together with me!” Guo Yi shouted mockingly before he suddenly screamed.
