As soon as Lord Zheng's words fell,
Sun Liang directly collapsed with a thud onto the ground; that brush with death and sudden sense of survival made his nerves loosen all at once, and he almost fainted.
As for Sun Ying,
his teeth were clamped so hard on his lips that blood had already seeped out. Though crippled, he had still retained some vigor in his gaze, but now his eyes were completely clouded over.
Lord Zheng did not linger in the Sun Mansion. After ordering his men to release all the servants of the Sun Family, he left a detachment of troops waiting outside the mansion, then himself mounted the Pixiu and, under the tight protection of his personal guards, returned to the Governor's Mansion.
After all, the Governor's Mansion was now the true center of Ying Capital City; the Royal Mansion of Prince Cheng was more like a symbolic landmark.
On the way back, the Wild People King did not ride a horse, but took the initiative to walk at the Sword Saint's side.
