Wan Yulin’s words moved Qin Tie. He was no longer so unyielding. His eyes flashed with anxiety. Although he was already sure that his daughter was dead, when he heard that Wan Yulin had found her, he still wanted to take a look.

“Where is she?”

“Men, bring her in.”

Wan Yulin saw that this move was indeed effective. He leaned back in his chair with the dignity of an emperor.

Qin Tie looked at the door of the execution room with anticipation. His hands were tightly clenched, and he was excited and worried about his gains and losses.

Very soon, he heard the sound of footsteps at the door. Qin Tie’s gaze became even more anxious. A slender young lady walked in from outside the door. Her eyebrows and eyes were all familiar. Qin Tie widened his eyes in disbelief.

How could this be? Wasn’t his daughter already dead? Why would she appear here?

Did Qian Jinhai not lie to him? But didn’t Wan Yulin say that he didn’t know anything about Yu’er? Who was lying?

It was no longer critical who was lying. What was important was that he could see Yu’er for the last time before he died. His tears blurred Qin Tie’s vision. He raised his trembling hand to wipe away the tears in his eyes. When he wiped his tears and wanted to see his daughter clearly, he realized that she was gone.

“Yu’er? Yu’er?”

Qin Tie was anxious. He struggled to chase after her through the door but was held down by the two jailers.

“As long as you make a great killing weapon for me, I’ll let you and your daughter reunite.”

Wan Yulin said to Qin Tie unhurriedly. His meaning was obvious. If you don’t help me make a big killing weapon, don’t even think about seeing your daughter.

“Okay, I’ll do it for you, but on one condition. You have to hand Yu’er over to me.”

Qin Tie suppressed his excitement and looked at Wan Yulin to discuss terms.

“Wait until you make a big killing weapon.”

Since he already had something on Qin Tie, Wan Yulin naturally wouldn’t let it go. He looked at Qin Tie coldly.

“If you continue to be stubborn, you will harm your daughter.”

The threat in his tone was unmistakable. If you don’t listen, I’ll deal with your daughter.

“I can promise you, but you must let me see Yu’er again.”

Doubt rose in Qin Tie’s heart. He had already been tricked once, so this time, he was more cautious.

Now that the deal had been made, he had no choice but to fulfill Wan Yulin’s promise. Moreover, Qin Tie knew Wan Yulin would send someone to learn from him when he made the mortar. The day he finished would be the day he died.

The meeting just now was too rushed. Although her eyebrows looked precisely the same as his daughter, Qin Tie felt that something was wrong. Wan Yulin was such a despicable person. He could have found someone to impersonate Yu’er.

Otherwise, why did she leave hurriedly without calling her father?

Wan Yulin sneered and said to Qin Tie in disdain,

“You have no right to negotiate with me. You can only choose between making a great killing weapon or taking your daughter’s life.”

“If you don’t want me to see my daughter, I won’t do it. If you want to kill me, then kill me.”

Qin Tie had already calmed down. The more Wan Yulin dared not let him talk to his daughter, the more suspicious it was.

“You!”

Wan Yulin gritted his teeth in hatred. A lowly commoner dared to threaten him? His gloomy eyes stared at Qin Tie as he asked through gritted teeth,”1 “You don’t care about your daughter’s life?”

“Death is as light as a feather but as heavy as Mount Tai. Since she is my daughter, she is not afraid of death.”

Qin Tie looked at Wan Yulin with contempt. The more flustered he was, the more Qin Tie was sure of his guess.

Although he knew that his daughter was dead, grief still flashed in Qin Tie’s eyes after confirming her death.

“Bring her in.”

Wan Yulin stared into Qin Tie’s eyes, his voice filled with anger.

Qin Tie rubbed his eyes to ensure that he could see clearly. He stared at the door.

Soon, footsteps came from outside the door. Qin Yu’er was wearing a light green dress, just like the clothes she often wore at home. She had a jade hairpin on her head and stood gracefully at the door of the execution room. She still did not walk down the steps, nor did she speak. She just stood there motionless!

Xiao Zeyu did not know about Qin Tie’s situation. He was taking Zhang Jinglin and Zhong Yong to study the battle plan for attacking the capital.

The capital was heavily guarded, and the city walls were thick and sturdy. A moat was surrounding the city wall at the city gate, and a suspension bridge would have to be built with a ladder to cross the moat.

Still, once the bridge was constructed, the Wan Family Army wouldn’t stand idly by. They would unleash a barrage of thousands of arrows to defend the critical entry point. Additionally, the narrowness of the bridge would severely limit the pace at which people could cross, effectively turning them into sitting ducks for the Wan Family Army’s archers on the city walls.

Mortars could be used to clear the first stage, but there was also a problem with range. The distance was too far, and there was no high ground around to ensure accuracy. The number of shells could not be wasted, and it was necessary to ensure every shot could hit the target.

“Young Lord, I heard that the capital has mobilized nearly a hundred thousand soldiers, and we only have twenty thousand men.”

Zhang Jinglin reminded Xiao Zeyu that even though they had a great weapon if the other party’s army of 100,000 charged at them together, even if they had a great weapon, they might not be able to stop them.

“Furthermore, the Imperial Court used mortars before. Although we didn’t notice it when we attacked Shanhai City, we can’t rule out the possibility that Wan Yulin left the mortars at the capital.”

“I know what you’re saying. The key is whether they have mortars or not. If not, the number of people is not a problem.”

Xiao Zeyu nodded. He had considered all this and sent spies from the capital to investigate if the imperial court had any mortars. However, he had been unable to contact any of the core figures, and the imperial court had kept it a secret. Even now, he still could not confirm if Wan Yulin had any mortars.

If not, then he could attack the city with ease. He would first use artillery and send people to kill when the bombardment was almost complete.

This was also Wan Yulin’s crafty side. He was genuine and fake, not allowing others to figure out his trump card.

It was not a good idea for the 20,000-strong army to just sit there and do nothing. Only in a spurt of energy could the soldiers display their greatest enthusiasm. If they just sat there and did nothing, it would make the army feel irritated, which would be detrimental to the army’s morale.

“A secret report was just sent out from the capital. It said that Wan Yulin sent a secret agent to look for Qin Tie’s daughter, Qin Yu’er, at all costs.”

Zhang Jinglin told Xiao Zeyu the latest piece of information. Xiao Zeyu’s eyes lit up.

“We can attack now.”

“Young Master, why?”

Zhang Jinglin did not understand. He had just said to be cautious, so why did he suddenly want to attack?

One wrong decision could wipe out the entire army.

“Why is Wan Yulin looking for Qin Tie’s daughter? It proved that Qin Tie was in his hands, but he was probably unwilling to help Wan Yulin, so Wan Yulin wanted to find Qin Yu’er to force Qin Tie to help him make the mortar.”

Xiao Zeyu was in a good mood. The depression from Qin Tie’s betrayal was swept away. He said to Zhang Jinglin with great ambition,

“Let’s take advantage of the fact that they haven’t made the mortars yet and catch them off guard!”

“Reporting, Young Master, Young Master’s wife is here with an army!”
