Chapter 345: Clearing the Stronghold
The female assassin Magnolia finally confessed and confessed all the information she knew.
While Ning Ze asked the female warden to record Yulan's confession, he went to the men's prison to check Shao Yi's condition.
Shao Yi lasted longer than Yulan, his physical condition was still dangerous, and he couldn't hold on, thinking that he could finally be freed.
As a result, Ning Ze used the stunt [Medical Technique] in front of him to pull him back from the death line, and at the same time recovered to his best state, and once again clearly felt the torture of the ant punishment that penetrated deep into the soul.
Shao Yi really almost collapsed, and the last bit of luck was also destroyed.
When Ning Ze regained his consciousness and was tortured by ant torture and kept wailing, he leaned in and whispered: "Over there in the women's prison, Yulan has already confessed. Sure enough, the woman's body is still weaker, and her willpower is relatively weak. Your insistence is meaningless, Lone will soon get the information and send troops to destroy all the strongholds. Of course, Lone is still very merciful, and gives you another chance to choose. You can choose to confess as a comparison to see if Magnolia's confession is complete. As long as there is no adulteration, it is also a great achievement. You can stay in Huajun and enjoy endless glory and wealth. Of course, you can also choose to stick with it. In the future, the cycle of ant punishment and small black houses will never stop. You don't want to die, if you are alone, you can pull it back in the hands of Hades. ”
Hearing this, Shao Yi raised his head and showed an extremely frightened expression.
Just now, I personally experienced a near-death state and was rescued by Ning Ze with a "spell", and even my physical condition recovered to the best, and then I was frantically gnawed by ants, and I wanted to continue in the torture of ants and the little black house in the future, and my will finally completely collapsed.
No one can afford this desperate, never-ending torment.
Finally, he also gave up insisting on bowing his head to Ning Ze, just begging to stop the horrific punishment.
After obtaining the confessions of Yulan and Shao Yi, Ning Ze ordered to continue the execution of the other eight assassins to obtain more information, and on the other hand, according to the information provided by Yulan and Shao Yi, he marked the location of most of the secret strongholds in China that the two knew on the map, and ordered Dewey, Wang Wei, and Huang Shao to lead troops to exterminate these Liang Guoxi strongholds.
The Stockholm effect, also known as Stockholm syndrome or hostage complex or hostage syndrome, refers to a complex in which the victim has feelings for the offender and even helps the offender in turn. This emotion causes the victim to have a favorable impression of the perpetrator, dependence, and even assistance to the perpetrator.
Obviously, after enduring unimaginable torture and seeing Ning Ze's immortal "spell", the two assassins with broken willpower had this symptom the moment they decided to surrender.

It is rare to take refuge in an instant and directly become a diehard.
When most of the captured generals surrendered, their loyalty was very low, and Ning Ze needed to improve through various means.

Ning Ze used medical skills to restore the two of them to their original state, and since they were die-hards, they were simply sent to assist Du Wei, Wang Wei, and Huang Shao to clear Liang Guoxi as a stronghold.
They went there in person, and they played a greater role in the clean-up operation.
After the black-clothed dead man infiltrated Huajun, there was no news.
Liang Guoxizuo actually sensed that something was wrong, and he had already made some preparations, and notified all the bases to prepare to move out.
It's just that I didn't expect that Shao Yi and Yulan would not be able to endure the torture and betray, and even wholeheartedly assist each other.
After Ning Ze's order went down, the officials of the prefectures and counties fully cooperated and immediately sent troops to carry out the operation.
Dewey, Wang Wei, and Huang Shao went to different areas, and with the full cooperation of Shao Yi and Yulan, they joined forces with local officials to launch surprise attacks on these small strongholds.
Because the Chinese army came too quickly, Liang Guozuo in various places was stunned by the sudden attack before he could react, and he rose up one after another, and he had no time to escape.
Sima Fa laid out the layout in a few years, and set up more than 30 strongholds in China, all of which were eradicated.
A large number of Liang Guo's meticulous work, assassins were killed and captured, a large amount of intelligence was seized, and even many members of the local chamber of commerce who were bought by Liang Guo were captured.
During this period, the large-scale clean-up operation was also fortunate to capture the fine work from Tang Niu and Ma Jian's camp, and found some obvious border defense loopholes in the country, which were immediately remedied.
Intercepted more than 200,000 secret funds, a large amount of grain and precious treasures, and an astonishing number of secret letters.
According to Shao Yi and Yulan's confessions, Liang Guo used [Dacheng Dictionary] as a password library, and according to Ning Ze's method, the number number was used as the content of the secret letter, and the corresponding number of pages and words in the corresponding order of the Dacheng dictionary were used to form the content of the letter.
So Ning Ze ordered to refer to the Dacheng dictionary and immediately decipher all the secret letters seized.
On the other hand, while strengthening the border defense of various states and counties in China, discussions began to be held to implement the ID card system in the Huajun experiment to all major states and counties in China, and further strengthened the anti-osmosis capability.
The sudden and large-scale action in China to wipe out the enemy country was carried out in detail, and the results were astonishing, and the forces of all sides soon got the news.
Tang Niu and Ma Jian immediately ordered that the detailed work lurking in Huaguo should suspend their activities and hide as much as possible.
The Lu Chung forces, which had suffered the greatest losses and had almost half of their strongholds uprooted, were particularly shocked by this, and immediately ordered to temporarily suspend all activities in China to avoid hitting the muzzle of the gun.
If all the small strongholds are uprooted, everything that has been painstakingly arranged over the years will be finished!
Most of the strongholds were destroyed, Lu Cong's heart was extremely painful, and in anger, he also ordered officials from all over the Liang State to thoroughly investigate the detailed work of the Chinese State in the territory.
But without exact information, it is very difficult to find out the hidden Huaguo meticulous works.
Sima Fa felt that most of the strongholds in Huaguo were uprooted, and there must have been traitors. It is suggested that Lu Cong thoroughly investigate the identity of the traitor on the one hand, and kill the other party before he does more things that harm the interests of his country. On the other hand, if you ask to change the communication password immediately, "Dacheng Dictionary" cannot be used, and the other party must have it, and all kinds of secret letters may be intercepted and deciphered after not changing the password, so that your own secrets will be leaked.
According to Sima Fa's suggestion, Lu Cong immediately ordered the identity of the traitor to be traced and a new cipher dictionary replaced.
The large-scale clean-up operation in China has rescued countless internal responses from other countries' meticulous work and been bought, making the border defense of various places safer. It also makes the enemy forces temporarily silent, and does not dare to make any moves in a short period of time, which deters the enemy to a considerable extent, and the effect is extraordinary.
The whole country of China cheered, from the princes and nobles to the common people, all of whom were excited about this.
This is extremely exciting news.
Dewey, Wang Wei, and Huang Shao returned with their troops and were rewarded for their respective awards.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Shao Yi and Yulan were summoned into the palace and came to Ning Ze.
"See the prince!" both knelt down on one knee at the same time and saluted respectfully.
"You two have made a great contribution to clearing the stronghold this time!" Ning Ze made a false gesture to get them up, and said with a smile, "Without the information provided by the two of you, it would not have been so smooth at all." When you come back this time, only the two of you have not been rewarded, are you dissatisfied?"
"We're not dissatisfied!!" Shao Yi and Yulan said in unison.
The two glanced at each other, and Shao Yi said, "The two of us assassinated the prince and committed a serious crime. Only with the grace of the king can we make up for the merits. We will serve the prince loyally, and we will not ask for a reward!"
"Lone has always been rewarded and punished. Ning Ze smiled, "You two are loyal and commendable, and your contributions are indispensable." It's just that the identity is more sensitive, so I must know it. Also, reducing exposure is also for your protection. On the surface, the two of you will be captured as enemy assassins, and then tortured to death in prison. Sima Fa will definitely pursue the betrayal, but for those of you who have 'died', you can directly avoid it. Those who are dead will not be suspected. Of course, the dead cannot accept any reward openly. ”
"Thank you for your kindness!" the two responded respectfully.
"You two are very reliable in your work, and your loyalty to Lone has also passed the test. Lone decides to assemble a secret assassination team, to be trained by the two of you. You have to teach your skills to all the members of your team. Shao Yi, as the captain of the assassination team, and Yulan as the deputy, directly belong to Gu, and only accept Gu's orders! Is there a problem?"
"No!!" the two responded.
"Very good! From today onwards, you are a lone escort on the surface, and Lone will allocate all kinds of supplies to help you form an assassination team. ”
"Wow!!"
"Lone has already bought real estate for you in Huajun, and you have all the necessities of life. Ning Ze said, "If you have other needs, you can put them forward in person, as long as they are not too much, and you can try to meet them." ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang!!" the two of them were full of gratitude.
"Come, there are two bags of gold here!" Ning Ze reached out and took out two bags and gently placed them on the table, "Every month in the future, you will be able to receive the corresponding salary." Lone said that as long as you surrender to sincerity, you will not be able to enjoy the glory and wealth in the future, and there is no falsehood!"
"I don't want to ask for a salary, as long as I have a bite to eat and a tile to cover my head!" Shao Yi hurriedly refused.
"If you give it to Lonely, take it!" Ning Ze said with a smile, "Doing things for Lonely, there are benefits." ”
"This ......" The two looked at each other and made eye contact.
"What are you doing in a daze, take it!" Ning Ze urged.
"Whew!!" Shao Yi and Yulan hesitated for a moment, and put away their bags one after another.
"Stand down first, and someone will lead you to familiarize yourself with the place where you will live. Ning Ze waved his hand.
"Two, please come with me!" Someone immediately came at the door and took Shao Yi and Yulan away.
After the two left, Ning Yong next to him looked a little worried, walked over and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, wouldn't it be too risky for you to keep the two enemy assassins by your side......?"
"Don't worry!" Ning Ze glanced sideways at this good grandson who was older than himself, and smiled, "These two people are now determined to die alone, and they will definitely not betray." ”
