Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qin Silong swiftly organized the order of entry into the castle and outlined the rules to be strictly adhered to.

“No taking advantage of the situation to harm innocent civilians. Above all, ensure that the culprits don’t escape with any gains.”

Su Ping was assigned to follow him inside.

“Yes, sir!” Su Ping acknowledged, though a trace of skepticism lingered.

Despite his reservations, he complied with Qin Silong’s directives. After all, Qin Silong had saved his life, and if they were to face peril together, Su Ping harbored no regrets.

Qin Silong couldn’t help but find amusement in Su Ping’s skepticism. Despite the clear explanation, there remained a lingering doubt. Qin Silong harbored no resentment; the situation was indeed peculiar. Regardless, he was confident that the truth would speak for itself.

Just as Qin Silong contemplated this, a voice echoed from above the castle. “Lord Qin! We’ve successfully executed our mission. The insurgents inside have ingested laxatives and are now incapacitated!”

“We stormed their headquarters, apprehended the leader of the rebellion, and he willingly surrendered to save his life.” “Behold, they’ve raised the white flag!”

“The castle gates stand open.”

“Now, Lord Qin, kindly lead your troops into the city for inspection!”

The voice of the person who shouted was familiar to many. He was a centurion under Qin Silong.

This time, there was no room for doubt. Every soldier heard the proclamation clearly.

The realization dawned upon them that there was no need for bloodshed or sacrifices. They had effortlessly breached a castle and secured victory. Cheers erupted among the soldiers.

Qin Silong and his companions entered the castle, finding the row of houses that had served as the headquarters for the rioters almost completely burned down.

The rioters who failed to escape in time met a tragic fate, with around a thousand of them perishing in the flames. These casualties predominantly comprised the elite members of the rebellion who, already weakened by poisoning, were unable to flee.

Beyond those burned to death, the capture of nearly 4,000 rioters unfolded. Among them were about 2,000 elites cultivated by the descendants of the previous dynasty. The ranks also included civilians forcibly conscripted and some who had willingly joined the rebellious organization.

Almost all these individuals had been exposed to laxatives. The reactions to the drug varied, as did the severity of diarrhea—some experienced continuous bouts, while others endured only stomach pains or had a limited number of bowel movements.

However, the commonality among them was their weakened and malodorous state.

This wasn’t an ordinary laxative; it was a specialized formulation personally concocted by Qin Zhenzhen. She had also incorporated Tendon Softening Powder into the mix.

Unable to be physically present, Qin Zhenzhen had provided additional medicinal powder, aiming to assist her Fourth Brother and minimize casualties in the battle.

The smooth execution of the laxative plan likely exceeded Qin Zhenzhen’s expectations.

The news of Qin Silong and his forces capturing Three Flowers County City quickly spread to the southern military camp.

Upon finishing the letter, Old General Chen wore a somber expression.

It had to be acknowledged that Qin Silong was undeniably a fortunate and formidable general.

For now, setting aside the question of how Qin Silong managed to capture Three Flowers County Castle without losing a single soldier, Old General Chen couldn’t help but admire his audacity in openly eliminating Chiliarch Yang.

Qin Silong was fully aware that Chiliarch Yang was his subordinate, yet he executed him ruthlessly.

This action served as a stark warning to the Public House..
