Zhang Tong, hearing Hama's words, clenched his fists and immediately stepped forward, his hand already on the hilt of his knife.
At this moment, two thoughts occupied his mind: the first was to express loyalty to Tuotuo, shout "Villain, prepare to die," and then strike with a single slash.
The second was to step forward, kneel on one knee, and say, "I greet the Old Chancellor."
Doing so would mean losing the chance to kill Hama, because if he accepted Hama's identity as Chancellor, killing him would be open rebellion. Even as Tuotuo's subordinate, or even if he were Tuotuo himself, would you dare bear the crime of murdering the court's Right Minister in broad daylight?
If Zhang Tong acted this way, even the immortals couldn't save him.
As these two thoughts battled in Zhang Tong's mind, Wang Baobao stepped forward and held his wrist, preventing him from gripping the knife.
