Inside a dilapidated temple, outside wind howled and rain lashed down. The temple itself was in no better condition than the weather; holes gaped in its walls, letting in gusts of icy air. The windows were cracked and broken, whistling with the wind, and patches of missing tiles on the roof exposed the sky.

It's raining heavily outside but lightly inside, that's how this dilapidated temple is.

And before the dilapidated Buddha statue, the Zhou brothers were right there.

"Ahem."

Zhou Zhangshou coughed twice, feeling a chill run through him he pulled his clothes tighter. Looking at his younger brother Zhou Ping'an lying beside him, barely clinging to life, covered in blood, he felt anger welling up inside him. However, he still gathered some straw and spread it over Zhou Ping'an's body.

Zhou Ping'an raised his eyelids and looked at Zhou Changshou, whose face was pale. He actually chuckled.

Zhou Changshou only felt a surge of evil fire rising up, gritting his teeth and saying, "You still laugh"

"Do you know, we're now being offered a hefty reward by King Ning. Anyone who provides information leading to our capture can be instantly granted the title of Marquis and awarded a thousand taels of gold! Even the dogs kept in people's homes are digging around for our tracks!"

Although Zhou Ping'an was weak as a thread, his eyes were still bright. He said: "It seems I really stepped on King Ning's sore spot."

Zhou Changshou was furious, "You're laughing You're still laughing We don't even know if we can survive tonight, and you're laughing"

"Don't you want to die Can't you just find a quiet place to do it yourself Why drag me into this I was doing well by the King, I even wanted to help him achieve great things. But now, you've used me and made him hate me too. He's so arrogant, he can't stand any betrayal. He hates me more than he hates you. You've betrayed your own brother like this"

Zhou Ping'an laughed more and more as he listened, but the moment he smiled, a cough would come on, and every cough would tug at his wound, causing him great pain.

Even so, Zhou Ping'an's mentality was still not normal.

"King Ning is not a benevolent ruler, I'm helping you escape this suffering as soon as possible. When the prince arrives in the future, it will be too late for me to help you, even if I wanted to."

Zhou Changshou looked at Zhou Ping'an with an uncomprehending gaze and said, "What medicine has he given you To have such blind trust in him"

"It's not medicine."

Zhou Ping an panted a few breaths, gathering some strength before he said: "You'll know just by seeing him, he is absolutely the one who can truly revive this world, and the one we have been desperately searching for. There's a kind of magic about him that no one else has. He can make people willingly serve him, and around him, you can let go and fully display your talents without worrying about anything else."

"For example, this time"

Zhou Changshou sneered, "I think he wishes he could kill you right now."

"Yes."

Zhou Ping'an surprisingly agreed with the statement, but he immediately added, "But it won't be long before he thanks me."

"I'm helping him."

"What a load of crap!"

Zhou Changshou scolded, "What you've done has not only put both of us in an inescapable predicament, but also pushed him to the edge. The situation that was once controllable is now completely out of hand. Tell me, what should he do now Should he pretend to be deaf and dumb, accepting the exposure of King Ning, or order his execution"

"Firstly, the imperial court’s authority has been utterly diminished. Rebellious princes throughout the land have become increasingly brazen, each amassing their own armies and showing no regard for the central government whatsoever. Should this continue, the Qin Empire will inevitably descend into a chaotic state of feudal warlords vying for power."
