On the next day, at noon.
An open field at the foot of Mount Laojun was now full of crowds. Xie Wang had herded Zhu Su and tied his entire body to a pile. He was ready to execute him in this open field, shortly afterward.
"Your Highness!" Hu Nayin screamed miserably at Zhu Su's pitiful condition. Wu Qi, Li Heng, and Guo Songmi could only tightly hold Hu Nayin who wriggled like a lunatic, their faces appeared gloomy.
Zhu Su had heard Hu Nayin's scream. With much difficulty, he moved his tied neck to look up, and was quite successful to see Hu Nayin and the others in the distance even though it was faintly visible for him. And he could only gnash his teeth in despair.
So, this is how my life ends, after being exiled by my own father, finally, I must die at the hands of the enemy who cooperates with the traitor to the country... Is this the difficult fate line that all medical experts must experience, just like what God of Medicine said?
Am I ready to die?...
No! I'm not ready to die!... I don't want to die!
What Liu Ku ever said was echoing in his ear (He had been released because Xie Wang only imprisoned him for few days), "... as you said, if it's been your destiny, anything can happen..."
No... I don't want to die, my reputation in Ming has not been completely recovered, and more important, such a shame to be killed by a traitor to the country!...
Xie Wang came to the stage, accompanied by Rumilie and his other loyal followers. He stepped to the forefront, raised his arms high, and shouted loudly, "The Ming has attacked and devastated all over the country, arbitrarily calls themselves a great nation even though they are no more than a nasty barbarian nation! Now I will show their downfall to you, with the death of a Ming brat!"
Silence. The whole Yunnan people only stared back at Xie Wang with agitated and serious expressions. Xie Wang squinted, actually he hoped that Yunnan people would welcome his hail with cheers, and not with soundless like this.
"Alright! The time has come!" Trying to ignore that strangeness, Xie Wang summoned his soldiers. The soldiers pushed Zhu Su's pile towards a large tank filled with water. Zhu Su gasped.
"Last time my mother was forced to be soaked to death because of your attacks. And now the wheel of time has turned, now you must die the same way with her, to revenge her resentment!" Xie Wang shouted angrily. "Soldiers! Throw this bastard into the water tank!"
Zhu Su's heart pounded. So he would be executed by being drowned in the water?! But before he could manage his adrenaline not to fill his body with fear, the soldiers had thrown him into the tank.
The pressure of water was so strong it directly whacked his eardrums and filled them with water. He had tried to close his nose and mouth, but how many seconds could he survive? Moreover, they gave ballast to his body, it made him go down... and go down... until finally, he fell to the bottom of the tank.
He was no longer able to survive. The water besieging him finally succeeded in passing through his nose and mouth, closing all of his respiratory organs.
He would die before long.
