Chapter 145: Separation of Flesh and Bone

Among the three generals guarding Zitong Pass, General Yiwei was seriously injured in the back, and General Yishi Hongyi broke an arm, and only General Yishi Xiu Rui was still unharmed.

Now, the unharmed general Xiu Rui was sitting in the open space in front of his barracks, holding a long barbed whip in one hand, and stepping on the bench with one foot, looking coldly at the row of eight or nine soldiers kneeling opposite.

On the table in front of him, there was a large pot of steaming horse meat at this moment, and the aroma of the meat spread, and those soldiers who had no food on their faces couldn't help but swallow their throats subconsciously.

The eight or nine soldiers were bound by hemp rope and fell to their knees, and Xiu Rui pointed the whip at them: "Say, which of you led the leader, and dared to gang up in the kitchen to steal horse meat to eat?"

The soldiers looked at each other, but none of them acknowledged it, Xiu Rui smiled coldly: "Don't say it, right? If you don't say it, I will punish you all one by one, and all of you will be dealt with by military law, so as to set an example, if you say it, I will only severely punish the leader one, and as for the other accomplices, I will deal with it lightly!"

Those few people lowered their heads, but still no one came forward to confess, Xiu Rui waved his hand, and a sergeant came up with a large plate of white-flour steamed buns, the white-flour steamed buns were made extremely soft, and they also exuded steaming heat, and several people saw them and swallowed their saliva involuntarily.

Xiu Rui played with the horsewhip in one hand and said slowly: "If any of you say it, this plate of white-flour steamed buns belongs to whom, if you don't say it again, you will all be locked up and starved to death!"

Suddenly, one of them raised his head and rushed out and said, "General, I said!"

The rest glared at him.

The man said: "I did it, I led the leader, okay, I've already said, this plate of white-flour steamed buns should belong to me!"

He didn't wait for Xiu Rui to answer, so he rushed forward, picked up a white-flour steamed bun in his mouth, and swallowed it vigorously like a hungry tiger, and was choked and rolled his eyes because he ate too hard.

The rest of the people watched him eat white-flour steamed buns, their eyes showing envy, and licked their dry lips.

Xiu Rui looked at those people and waved his hand: "The accomplices are all released, but they are just greedy and stealing, if no one instigates, how dare my subordinates dare to fight against me," He looked at the soldier who claimed to be the leader: "I will deal with this thorn who instigated people today!"

A few sergeants came up and untied the hemp rope of those people, and the few people kowtowed, "General Xie!" and couldn't wait to get up, rushed to the plate of white-flour steamed buns, and snatched the steamed buns empty.

Xiu Rui didn't care about them, only had the leading soldier tied to a wooden pole, and then he slowly stood up from the stool, pulled the whip in his hands with both hands, and then walked to the center of the field.

Order: "Rip off his shirt for me!"

Left and right immediately stepped forward and took off the soldier's armor, even the underwear was removed, revealing the upper body, although it was still strong, but it was so thin that the flank bones were protruding.

"What's your name, which team?" asked Xiu Rui with a cold face.

"My name is Cheng Yin, and I'm from the Yitong team under the military camp!" replied the soldier loudly.

"Okay, there's a kind!" Xiu Rui nodded: "You are still willing to recognize me as a general, and I will personally give you a death today!"

He raised his hand, and the whip was swung out violently, and the whip struck the soldier, and a deep blood mark immediately appeared on the skin* of the whip, and because of the sharp barb on the whip, the flesh was pulled apart, and the flesh scraps flew out, and the blood marks were as terrifying as a centipede lying on his body.

The soldier let out a miserable scream, but Xiu Rui didn't stop, and the "pop" went down a few more times, and suddenly more flesh and blood were hooked up by the whip hook and flew out in all directions, and the soldier's chest was already a blur of flesh and blood, and in some places even Bai Sensen's ribs were exposed.

The soldier named Cheng Yin kept wailing and howling, and Xiu Rui suddenly stopped whipping.

Just when everyone thought that he was going to stop with great mercy, he smiled coldly: "This kind of whipping has a name, it is called 'separation of flesh and bones', if I whip it two or three times, you will open the flesh and skin, and you will die, before you die, leave you a breath and finish what you have to say!"

"General!" the soldier gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain in his body and roared loudly: "The brothers steal some horse meat to eat, not to rebel, but they are really hungry! These days, we only eat dry and hard cakes every day, drink gruel that can shine on the shadow of people, and we have to go up to the city to defend the city, facing those fierce demon soldiers under the city, many brothers are so hungry that they have no strength, and they can't resist being killed! We really have no way to steal some horse meat, that thing ......has a long strength."

"Oh, is it?" Xiu Rui's eyes were heavy: "You mean to say that I didn't give you all the horse meat, but enjoyed it all myself?"

The soldier muttered, "Who...... Who doesn't know that the brothers are starving to death, but the general is still drinking and drinking every day?"

"It turned out that I was greedy for my little horse meat...... Xiu Rui nodded with a sneer, waved his hand, and motioned to his subordinates to send the fragrant pot of horse meat to the soldiers: "Then before you die, let you eat enough, so that when you get to the bottom of Huangquan, you will also be a full ghost," he raised his whip: "Eat well, remember, I only need three whips to kill you!"

The horse meat was in front of the dying soldier, his lips trembled, he leaned forward and lowered his head to bite it, and then the pain of the serious injury made him let go of his mouth, and the horse meat fell from his mouth to the ground with a "snap".

"Look, you can't eat it, then don't blame me!" Xiu Rui raised his hand violently, and the whip flew out, and the tip of the whip accurately hit the plate, and a large plate of horse meat still dipped in gravy fell to the ground.

Then he added strength to his hand, and "snapped" and swung out two more whips left and right.

"Ah——h

His chest was beaten open, and several flank bones were exposed.

Xiu Rui looked at him and raised his hand: "The last whip, goodbye, brother!"

Then he jerked it down!

The hand that was waved out was in the air, but it was suddenly firmly grasped!

Xiu Rui worked harder, but his hand did not move at all, and the long whip fell down, he turned his head, and when he saw this person, his face couldn't help but change greatly: "General Wei!"

Wei Xiao shook off his hand holding the whip heavily, and his gaze was as cold as a cold star: "General Yijun, is this how you govern the army?"

Xiu Rui hurriedly bowed down and said, "This person instigated soldiers to steal horse meat, and he is guilty of capital punishment according to military discipline!"

"According to military discipline?" Wei Xiao snorted coldly: "Our army is strictly disciplined, and it is stipulated that the generals eat the same as the soldiers, and now you take the soldiers' rations and enjoy them exclusively, so that those soldiers defending the city are so hungry that they have no strength to defend the city, and they are forced to steal horse meat, and they will be beaten to death by you-" He looked coldly at the general Xiu Rui in front of him: "According to military discipline, should I also condemn you to death?"

"General Wei!" Xiu Rui's body shook and immediately knelt on the ground: "Please forgive the general!"

"I forgive your sins today, everyone in his army is cold, the military discipline is scattered, and the morale of the army is weak, how will such a team meet the enemy in the future, how will it fight with the demon army?" Wei Xiao looked at him coldly, and his tone was cold: "Come on, drag General Xiurui down and behead him!"

Xiu Rui's body trembled, and he raised his head to look at him.

"General Wei!" Several lieutenants and lieutenants around Wei Xiao all bowed their hands and persuaded: "General Xiu Rui is a general before the battle, and it is not good for the overall situation!"

"Chop!" Wei Xiao's face showed no room for change.

"Huh...... Hehe...... Seeing that he was certain to die, Xiu Rui stood up from the ground and pointed at Wei Xiao: "General Wei, you yourself are a high-ranking Tiance general, have you ever thought about the feelings of those of us who are charging on the front line? When I saw General Yiwei being picked off his horse by that Yingyi halberd, when I rushed to the battlefield with Yishi General Hongyi and his right arm was cut off, I thought, maybe one day, I will be worse than them, and I will be killed with a knife!"

His face was distorted, and his eyes showed a crazy look: "People like us who live today and die tomorrow, and live every day licking blood from the knife edge, I drink and have fun, get drunk and dream of death, so what's the matter? If I take one more bite today, maybe I won't even be able to eat tomorrow, General Wei, are you going to behead your former general for the sake of a mere soldier?"

Wei Xiao's cold as ice face moved slightly.

He slowly pulled out the Haotian Sword at his waist.

"A soldier is also a human being, a general, and he should have the same food and clothing as the lowest soldier, lie down without a seat, walk without riding, wrap himself in food and win food, and share the labor with the soldier. He pointed his sword at General Xiu Rui: "For the sake of you fighting the enemy with Gao Gao Hongyi, I will give you one last chance, drag it down, and the rod will be punished with a hundred!" He pointed to the wooden pole with his hand: "The soldier who was beaten by you, he gave birth to you, and if he died, you will bury him!"

The adjutant general hurriedly went to see the soldier who was tied to the wooden pole, probed his finger between his nose, felt that there was still a slight breath, and hurriedly ordered him to be lifted on a stretcher, covered with clothes, and sent to the wounded ward for treatment.

He came back and said, "The soldier named Cheng Yin still has a trace of residual energy, and he has been sent for treatment!"

"That's good," Wei Xiao stared at Xiu Rui: "I'll spare your life now, you'd better pray that he can come back to life, your life, from now on, will be tied to his life!

He thrust the Haotian sword into the ground, and the tip of the sword was inserted into the soil: "I will keep this sword here as a witness, if there is a slight mistake, I will take your head!"

After saying that, he walked out without looking back.
