Chapter 91: Zat'elk the Regretful

Just as Chang Sun Chong said, as long as everyone put in a little effort, the wall of the inner courtyard was pushed down.

After entering the inner courtyard, Li Xiang saw the situation clearly and didn't know what to say. This guy Zakerke has no IQ. He pulled all the people into the last building in the inner courtyard, which is about three stories high. But we have made it clear that we are going to use fire attack, and you still want to stay in this wooden house. Isn't this just finding a coffin for everyone?

"Li Xiang, you actually dared to attack me today! You're absolutely crazy! Do you know who I am? If anything happens to me tonight, I, Tuyuhun, will never let it go. If then, a hundred thousand cavalrymen will march into Chang'an. Can you bear the responsibility?"

Zatlk had already seen Li Xiang, and he felt guilty. He certainly knew why Li Xiang brought people in to kill him. When he sent people to assassinate Li Xiang before, he also knew there would be a reaction, but he didn't expect the reaction to be so big. Li Xiang's actions were equivalent to declaring war between the two countries.

"You've got the wrong person, haven't you? Do I look a lot like His Highness Changsun? We're only interested in the gold and silver treasures here today. If you can hand them over, I'll spare your life."

There is nothing wrong with being a coward. Li Xiang doesn't want to admit it now. Since you haven't admitted the assassination, I can't admit my identity. Anyway, as long as the job is done, it will be fine. Everyone felt uncomfortable when they heard Zatlk's threat just now. You are a small country, but you still dream of sending 100,000 cavalry to charge into Chang'an. Are you still asleep?

"I didn't expect you to be afraid sometimes. I thought you were brave enough to take responsibility for your actions. If you don't have that kind of courage, get out of here as soon as possible."

Zatlk just wanted Li Xiang to admit it.

"It seems these people are still not convinced. Brothers, add some fuel to the fire."

Li Xiang saw that the encirclement had been formed around him, and the porcelain bottles had been distributed to his men. Later, as long as Li Xiang threw the first one, the rest of the people would know what to do.

"You idiot, I've already soaked the entire building. Do you think I can still burn it? Do you think I'm stupid?"

After hearing what Li Xiang said, Zatlk laughed out loud. It was just as he said. These people kept pouring water on the floor, and now the whole floor was wet.

"I'm giving you one last chance. If you can come down and surrender, we can still talk about some things. But if you continue to resist, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. You'll find out later that surrender is a luxury."

Li Xiang held the burning porcelain bottle in his left hand and was ready to light it with his right hand. He said this to give the other party a last chance, but it was obvious that Zatlk did not have such an idea.

What answered Li Xiang was a sharp arrow. The force was nowhere near as strong as the one that assassinated him that day, but he was still a master. Li Xiang dodged the arrow and his men were about to draw their bows to fight back.

"Slow down, we can't waste arrows. We have a better way to attack. Watch carefully."

Li Xiang quickly stopped his men. They were all covered, and even if you shoot arrows now, it would not cause much damage to them.

Although everyone had a porcelain bottle in their hands, they didn't know how to use it. They saw Li Xiang light the waterfall outside, and then Li Xiang used all his strength to hit the simple burning porcelain bottle on the wooden building, and it was the room where Zatlk was.

The lamp oil suddenly shattered and the surrounding area was also on fire. They did soak the wood with water, but because of the lamp oil, there was still a huge flame nearby. The people inside were looking with their heads stretched out, and their hair and clothes were burned all of a sudden. Many people shouted and jumped down from the building. The feeling of being burned by fire was too uncomfortable. They would rather fall to their death than be burned to death.

"All departments, listen to the order, surrender..."

The generals in charge of each team also began to give orders, and more than twenty burning porcelain bottles were thrown directly over. Originally, the people in the small building thought they were very safe. With the help of the night and the sturdy floors, they should be able to hold on until dawn. At that time, Li Xiang and his men would have to retreat.

But now this situation made them dumbfounded. Wasn't it already soaked in water? Why did it still catch fire?

Just now, Zat'rk was still stubborn, but now he was being burned and retreating step by step. Many soldiers were on fire and were running around in the house. If they didn't have lamp oil, then the wood around them would not be able to light. But if they had oil...

There is moisture on the wood, but when the oil burns, the moisture evaporates quickly. When the moisture drops to a certain level, the wood can be ignited.

People kept jumping from the buildings. These people couldn't bear the fire and committed suicide by jumping off the buildings.

There was a certain amount of water stored upstairs, but it was not much. Except for some dignitaries, the other soldiers could not get any water at all and could only jump off the building to commit suicide.

Some people said that at the last moment these soldiers might not care about seniority and would fight for water at all costs, but this did not happen. These people were all low-class people in Tuyuhun. If they did something excessive here, their families would not survive when they returned. So even if they had to jump off the building to commit suicide, they had to save the lives of these nobles, especially Zatlk's life.

Watching his loyal men jumping down from the building one after another, Zatlk felt heartbroken.

Did we lose again?

Zatlk could not forget the humiliation of that day, so he sent people to assassinate Li Xiang. He thought he could get away with it. Even if he couldn't, Li Xiang had no evidence in his hands and they couldn't do anything to him. But today Li Xiang came with people.

You can assassinate me without revealing your identity, and I can kill you openly without revealing my identity.

Of course Li Xiang would not let this guy die just like that, that would be too easy for him, so Li Xiang had to torture him slowly, kill all the loyal people around you, and let you experience endless fear and sorrow, which was the greatest punishment for you.

Everyone present noticed Li Xiang's action, and they all expressed in their hearts that they would never mess with this guy again, as the consequences of messing with him would be too serious.

Li Xiang had already calculated that even though the wooden building might be constantly burning, after the oil burned out, the entire structure would still be intact. After all, it had been soaked in water before, so he could still capture Zat'elk alive...
