In the County Chief Mansion.
Lin Jinxu had been stabbed in the abdomen, blood seeping out from the spaces between his fingers.
He pressed hard against the wound, sweat beading on his forehead from the pain, gritting his teeth and refusing to make a sound.
"General Lin, please, spare my little girl."
"She is young and impulsive, injuring the young general in a moment of rashness, please show mercy and spare her life."
"The entire family of Liu Wei, we are willing to serve as cattle and horses, to repay the great kindness of the general."
Zhuo County Chief, Liu Wei, faced a group of angry and imposing soldiers of the Lin Clan, terrified to the point of being beside himself, constantly pleading for mercy on his knees.
"Father, don't plead with him, even if I die, I refuse to be a slave to the enemy country, to be humiliated by our enemies."
