Chapter 154 We won't hit you with our hands today, we'll use our feet.

The reason why Liu Laowu led his troops in an uprising dates back 20 years.

Back in Liujia Village, during a time of chaos, many countries were at war with each other.

Today a King of Wei comes, tomorrow a King of Tang comes.

This has always been the case in Liu Family Village. Today someone robs and loots, tomorrow someone else comes to conscript men, and murder and robbery are common occurrences.

But even if these people were the worst of the worst, they were no match for the Later Jin, which had done far worse back then.

These Jurchens came to plunder the Later Han dynasty.

They commit murder, arson, rape, plunder, and all sorts of evil deeds. Most importantly, they will burn down the homes of the people to the ground.

Wife and children separated, family destroyed, people killed, and in the end, not even a home was left.

This is why Liu Laowu was so resentful.

20 years ago.

Unfortunately, one of Liu Laowu's uncles also died at the hands of the Jurchens, and the Jurchen emperor at that time, Wanyan Xi, was one of the generals who led the southward raids.

Especially considering that Liu Laowu personally witnessed all of this back then, seeing the entire shocking process of his uncle's murder, one can imagine the resentment he felt as a result.

This is no longer just a matter of national hatred; it also involves family feuds and national hatred mixed together.

Liu Laowu thought he would never be able to avenge this great grudge even in his old age, because according to the previous developments, the Later Han Dynasty had no way to deal with the Later Jin Dynasty, and its national strength was simply not up to that level.

But things are different now. Because of Liu Fu's existence, the Later Jin no longer poses any real threat to the Later Han.

Liu Laowu arrived at the place where the Jin Emperor was imprisoned; it was already late at night.

In a prison cell, Jin Di was handcuffed next to a stinking urinal.

As soon as Liu Laowu entered the prison, he smelled the stench and felt extremely uncomfortable. He covered his nose with his eyebrows, unable to imagine that the Emperor of Jin, as the ruler of a nation, would live in such a disgusting place.

But it's also quite satisfying. This old man deserves this kind of torment. How many people has he harmed in his life? Now, making him lean against the urinal and smell this filth is already a very light punishment.

If all the thousands upon thousands of people he killed were to stand up and seek revenge, even if Jin Di had 1,000 or 10,000 lives, it would not be enough to atone for their crimes.

"You can all go down now, just bring us a stool."

Liu Laowu sat on a stool, in front of him was a prison cell. Inside the cell lay a man who looked disheveled, reeked of stench, and was worse than a beggar.

"Wanyan Xi, do you still recognize us?"

As Liu Laowu asked a question, the people in the cell heard the voice, their bodies hunched over, and they remained silent, curling up even tighter.

"Hey, you old codger, we're talking to you here, and you dare to ignore us."

Unexpectedly, just as Liu Laowu finished speaking, Wanyan Xi, who had been completely ignoring him, suddenly changed his expression, immediately scrambled to his feet, and knelt down to kowtow and beg for mercy:

"Grandpa, please let me go. I've been beaten enough today. I'm reviled by everyone. I can't even speak anymore. Please don't hit me. Please don't hit me."

It turned out that when Wanyan Xi heard Liu Laowu's words, which sounded a bit off, he immediately assumed that Liu Laowu was going to stand up and beat him. So he was frightened and knelt down to beg for mercy.

Liu Laowu thought to himself at that moment:

"Is this the emperor of the Later Jin? Is he a fake?"

No wonder Liu Laowu felt it was fake. Wanyan Xi's current behavior was nothing like that of an emperor or ruler of a country. He had no dignity or respect whatsoever.

Liu Laowu believed that he was a beggar who had spent his whole life begging on the streets, but was such a person really the emperor of the Later Jin?

At this moment, a scene flashed through Liu Laowu's mind: a valiant young general holding a long spear, urging his warhorse forward, and fearing everyone who passed by.

This is the scene he saw of Wanyan Xi when he was young in Liujia Village.

This man was once full of vigor and ambition, and later even became emperor. Now he has become a prisoner and turned into this state. It is truly pitiful and lamentable.

"Don't worry, we won't hit you today."

After saying this, Liu Laowu carefully examined Wanyan Xi, who looked like a beggar.

Of course, Wanyan Xi was also sizing up Liu Laowu at this moment.

Wanyan Xi, having once been an emperor, immediately noticed the jade pendant hanging from Liu Laowu's waist. Upon seeing this, they were certain of Liu Laowu's identity.

"Are you perhaps the emperor of the Later Han dynasty?"

Wanyan Xi's voice became hoarse and low, and he spoke these words with extreme shock and fear.

Liu Laowu chuckled:

"Not bad, you bastard, you can still recognize me. Even though you've become a prisoner, you still have a sharp eye."

Wanyan Xi didn't dare to speak to the fifth brother at this moment. He just knelt down and listened carefully to what Liu Laowu had to say.

Seeing that Wanyan Xi had fallen silent again, Liu Laowu found it all quite amusing.

My old enemy has turned into this.

Liu Laowu spoke in a very calm tone, explaining the matter to Wanyan Xi word by word:

"Do you remember 20 years ago? You led your troops south to invade my Central Plains. At that time, you passed through a place called Liujia Village. There, you plundered a lot of money and killed my only uncle. At that time, I could only watch as you and your soldiers killed my relatives, one by one, into the village."

Wanyan Xi had long forgotten when that happened, and had no idea where this Liu Family Village was, given the sheer number of murders he had committed.

Seeing that he remained silent, Liu Laowu knew what Wanyan Xi was thinking. He snorted coldly:

"snort!"

"You've killed so many people that you can't even remember these bloody facts, right?"

Wanyan Xi was like a frightened bird, not daring to utter a single word, for fear of angering Liu Laowu. After all, Liu Laowu was the emperor of the Later Han Dynasty, holding the power of life and death over the people of the world. What if Liu Laowu accused him of being executed by slow slicing or some other cruel torture?

Wouldn't that be a death sentence?

Liu Laowu glanced at the guy, his eyes burning with hatred for his enemy right in front of him. He had already sent all the jailers out, and there was no one else in the cell except for him and Wanyan Xi.

Liu Laowu was also a fierce man; he opened the prison cell door and kicked Wanyan Xi hard in the stomach.

Wanyan Xi let out a scream and quickly endured the pain to ask:

"Didn't you say you wouldn't hit me? Didn't you say you wouldn't lay a hand on me?"

Liu Laowu chuckled coldly:

"We didn't actually lay a hand on you; we only used our feet."

Wanyan Xi cried out in alarm. He saw Liu Laowu with bloodshot eyes kicking him repeatedly. He knew that he was probably doomed today.
