Happy Lantern Festival, the fifth update will be sent, and the 1200 chapter monthly pass will be added!

The fourth looked down at a captive at his feet, who had a severed hand and a sweaty face covered in pain.

The sword that had severed his left hand was stuck in the ground next to him, and the blade was still stained with undried blood. The man gritted his teeth and kept himself from humming. He used to be an old soldier, but later the Han King Yang Liang rebelled against the current emperor, so he also rebelled as a soldier in Jinyang.

It's a pity that not long after the rebellion, Yang Liang, the king of Han, was defeated by the army led by Yang Su, Yang Liang was killed, and the generals who participated in the rebellion also ended up very miserably. Because of his riding and archery skills, Yang Su did not kill him, in fact, many old soldiers like him were not killed.

They were only killed on the official register, and in fact he became the dead man hidden in the shadows of the Yang family from then on.

They threw away their original names, gave up their past identities, and severed ties with their families and relatives, in exchange for Yang Su preserving their relatives. And what they paid was to become a knife in the shadows of the Yang family, wandering in the darkness and doing things for them.

He couldn't remember how many people he had killed, or who he had killed.

"Kill me!"

He gritted his teeth.

The fourth child just snorted coldly, "As long as you are willing to confess your identity and hand over the mastermind behind the scenes, I promise to give you a good time." But if you don't say it, then I will let you survive and not die, don't think you can hold on by gritting your teeth. Tell you, grandpa killed not a hundred Goguryeo people in Liaodong, but also eighty, this ability to kill people is powerful, and the ability to torture people is not small. ”

"Kill me!"

The man just continued, as dead soldiers, they already knew that they would miss the day, and they also knew that if they missed, it would sometimes be a relief. As long as he dies, he can be a hundred, but if he leaks something that should not be said, not only will he not have a good end, but his relatives will not have a good end.

He once saw his brother who failed in his mission, and in the end he couldn't survive the torture and revealed his identity, his fate was miserable, and the fate of his family was even worse, the woman was thrown into the camp of the dead for those dead soldiers to vent, tortured to death.

The man's young son did not stay, and was thrown directly into the kennel to be bitten to death.

The fourth child was very unhappy, thinking that this guy's temper was stinky and hard, he angrily pulled out the sword inserted in the ground, and cut off one of the fingers of the guy's remaining right hand with a sword.

The guy's face was full of pain, but he still refused to say half a word.

The fourth child cut off one of his fingers again, but he still didn't say anything.

In the end, the angry and filial piety slashed at his right hand more than a dozen times, one by one like chopping a pig's foot, chopping one of his right arms into more than a dozen pieces.

The man died in pain, but he refused to speak, and in the end he simply bit his tongue and committed suicide.

Shengsheng bit off a piece of tongue, and the remaining half of the tongue was retracted into the throat, and after being congested and distended, the trachea was blocked, and the person was suffocated to death.

The old four were furious.

Luo Cheng looked coldly at how tough this guy was.

"Forget it, since you don't want to say it, then kill it, and it can be regarded as fulfilling them, after all, these people used to be government soldiers, so leave him the last bit of dignity."

Zhang Xutuo also nodded, "These people are not active government soldiers, they are just former government soldiers, you see that they would rather die than confide half a word, this is not something that ordinary government soldiers can do, this is definitely a top dead soldier." ”

And with so many dead soldiers who can be dispatched, there are few people in the whole world.

Luo Cheng had vaguely guessed the identity of the person behind the scenes, but he couldn't confirm it too much, after all, he felt that the other party had no reason to bother with him so hard.

But it seems that apart from them, no one else will deal with them like this.

"It's too cheap for them." The fourth snorted.

There were 1,500 dead soldiers in all, including those who had been deceived and lured to death in the woods before, and not a single one escaped. Luo Cheng said a word, and none of the remaining dozens of captives went to torture to extract confessions.

One by one, they were all dragged to Jishui and beheaded and executed.

It took more than 300 people half a day to cut down all the 1,500 heads.

The head was piled up into a small mountain, and the headless corpse was piled up on the bank of the Jishui River into a high mountain.

When Li Xiuning arrived with more than 800 people, all he saw was Luo Cheng cooking and eating. The head mountain and the corpse mountain were just a hundred steps away from them, and a thick bloody aura rose to the sky, but Luo Cheng and the others could divide the dead horses and stew the horse broth without anything to do.

Li Xiuning, a heroine who had also been on the battlefield in Liaodong and even killed the Goguryeo people with a silver lance, couldn't help but vomit when she saw this scene.

"Dashuai, my former crossbowman Zhang Chao of the Fifth Army on the left, the rescue is late, please punish Dashuai."

One after another, the old brothers who returned to their hometowns after the disarmament of the former Left Fifth Army and returned to their hometowns quickly assembled after hearing the emergency call-up order, but they were still a step late.

Luo Cheng nodded at them.

"Thank you brothers for your hard work and drink some horse broth together."

The 800 people who came were all county soldiers and townsmen from Bochang County, Beihai, and about 30 old brothers from the former Left Fifth Army. They listened to Luo Cheng's greeting, and they also came to the pot to chat over the fire.

Li Xiuning came forward after vomiting.

"Are you alright?"

"It's fine."

"You killed them all?"

"These people are dead soldiers, and they won't reveal the slightest information after being defeated and captured, so I just killed them."

"You..."

"What do you want to say, say I'm too casual to kill or that I'm murderous? Find out that they came to ambush and kill me first, and now I kill them to cheapen them, otherwise even if I use all kinds of criminal laws, there is no half, if I find out their identities, they intercept and attack me like this, it is the crime of treason, not only them, but also their wives and children. ”

Li Xiuning was silent, she understood that in fact, what Luo Cheng said was the truth.

After all, Luo Cheng is not an ordinary person, he is a dignified prince of the dynasty, and the emperor's newly sealed Henan ambassador comforted and arrested him, and he was actually ambushed and attacked like this, what is it if he is not a rebellion.

"Do you know who's going to kill you?"

"Yang Xuangan and Li Mi." Luo Cheng spit out two names.

Li Xiuning was taken aback, "Don't talk nonsense without evidence, do you know their identities?" Especially Yang Xuangan, who has just been awarded the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites by the emperor, he inherited Yang Su's title as the Duke of Chu State, and is also the contemporary head of the Hongnong Yang family. ”

"Of course I know who Yang Xuangan is, Yang Su's son, known as the little overlord, both civil and military, known as the leader of the younger generation of Guanlong nobles. There is also a good Li Mi, who was also Guan Long Junjie, who was also the queen of the Eight Pillars Kingdom after Li Bi, and was highly praised by Niu Hong and Yang Su. ”

"You ask me and I answer, what I said is not nonsense, let me tell you some news, Yang Xuangan and Li Mi are plotting to rebel, and they are about to raise troops."

Li Xiuning was shocked.

"Do you have proof?"

"No, so I only tell you, I won't report to the court and the emperor."

Without evidence, Luo Cheng could not testify with the emperor and the court that Yang Xuangan and Li Mi were going to rebel, but he himself knew it, but he just couldn't say it.
