As expected, it was because of the Dragon Cavalry that they came. Wu Xin knew that this day would come. Thinking of that tough and strong general and that invincible army, Wu Xin was in a trance for a moment.

Seeing Wu Xin silent, Xiao Yinhuan winked at Fu Ya, and Fu Ya took the woman and two children and was about to leave.

"Well, then sell this woman to a brothel. As for the two children, tattoo the word 'slave' on their faces and sell them as slaves. As for Wu Tuanlianshi, chop off his head and hang it at the gate of the palace to scare the officials. As for the Tuanlianshi's son, oh, what a coincidence. I just killed a hunter on my way here."

Wu Xin's face suddenly changed when he remembered that his son was going up the mountain to hunt in the morning.

Xiao Yinhuan clapped his hands.

Fu Xuan threw out a man covered in wounds, with a sword stuck in his abdomen and blood all over his body. The two children saw their father's face and immediately cried out "Daddy, Daddy".

It was Wu Xin’s son.

Wu Xin saw that his son's face was pale and covered in blood, and his head was buzzing. He hurried forward to check his breath, but his hands were shaking. He only had a weak breath and could die at any time.

Xiao Yinhuan turned and left. He was not a patient man. People always begged him for help. If they didn't say anything, he would kill them all if he happened to be in a bad mood.

Wu Xin stopped the man and said, "Wait."

"Why? Are you willing to tell me?"

Wu Xin took a deep breath and said, "Let them go first."

"Negotiate with me? Wouldn't there be less trouble if you had cooperated earlier?"

"who are you?"

Xiao Yinhuan turned around, his face becoming more sinister. Coiling on his ink-black robe was a shallow-water python with sharp fangs, just as terrifying as he was.

"Eighteen years ago, in that battle, how did Su Ao die? Don't tell me he betrayed his country. General Su Ao was a very loyal man and it was impossible for him to betray his country. Even if he infiltrated the enemy, he was only there to take the head of the Qiang general."

Wu Xin's hands were shaking.

"And you, the commander of the Yongzhou militia, are the closest to Yongzhou. You should have led the Yongzhou troops to provide support. Why didn't you show up on time? If you showed up later, why did you join forces with the Qiang army to encircle and kill the Dragon Cavalry?"

Xiao Yinhuan's cheeks were tightly clenched. The dirtier the truth was, the more he wanted to reveal it all.

Xiao Yinhuan's eyes grew colder and colder as they scanned Wu Xin's face, like two knives that could cut off a person's flesh.

Wu Xin gritted his teeth, "I don't understand what you said, you got the wrong person."

Fu Ya tied the man up and tortured him on the spot. When the whip came down, Wu Xin's skin was immediately torn apart.

"Please, don't let the children see it." Wu Xin grinned.

Xiao Yinhuan snorted, "That's right, this matter involves confidentiality, take them away. As for your family members, I think they are weak points and useless. It just so happens that I will help you kill them and feed them to the wolves. If the militia is stubborn and tells lies, I will not even leave them a complete corpse."

Xiao Yinhuan turned around and said, "Take him away and lock him up in the Yongzhou City's secret cell."

Wu Xin looked at the tall and cold back of the devilish man, who was already being dragged away by Fu Ya.

"Grandfather. I want Grandfather."

The sound of a child crying could be heard in the yard, but Wu Xin's mouth was stuffed and he could only make whimpering sounds.

It was already noon on the third day when we returned to Yongzhou City.

Wu Xin was locked up in a secret cell and subjected to all kinds of torture, but he still refused to change his ways.

Whether he tells it or not, he will die. If he tells it, it might be even more serious and his entire clan will be exterminated. After all, the one who gave the order is the current emperor. Does he have any choice?

When Xiao Yinhuan arrived, he had already changed his clothes. The dungeon was dark and he was disgusted by it.

Wu Xin's body was covered in blood and he was dying.

Xiao Yinhuan stood there, obviously losing his patience, "Military Commander, your son is only breathing his last breath."

After that, Fu Ya pulled in the injured man today, and Xiao Yinhuan personally took a branding iron, "Tell me, if I press this iron on his wound, will he die immediately?"

"No."

"Say?"

Wu Xin was still gritting his teeth. Xiao Yinhuan had a cold face and pressed the branding iron on the man's abdomen without hesitation. The sound of flesh crackling mixed with the man's screams.

"Don't torture my son, come at me."

"Oh, you're indispensable, don't worry."

Xiao Yinhuan threw the blackened iron into the fire again, and did not pull it out until it was burning red. He walked towards Wu Xin and burned him directly on the heart without saying a word.

"what……"

Screams echoed throughout the dungeon.

"Even if you are cut into pieces, it cannot defeat the spirit of 200,000 dragon riders. Bring those two children in. Since you are not afraid of death, I will help you torture them and kill them, and then we will be reunited."

Xiao Yinhuan smiled sinisterly, "At least he's dead. It's good that the whole family can die together."

Xiao Yinhuan had no patience and directly drew his sword and stabbed the man on the ground. He pulled out the sword and was about to stab him a second time.

Seeing that he had killed his son and was going to kill his grandchildren, Wu Xin immediately spoke up, "I say, I say, let them go."

Xiao Yinhuan took out a white handkerchief and wiped his hands slowly, "Wouldn't it be better if you cooperated earlier?"

Wu Xin was afraid that he would go crazy, so he immediately said,

"At that time, we received an imperial decree to send the Yongzhou Army to support the Dragon Cavalry Army. But when I was about to arrive in Yongzhou with the Yongzhou Army, I received a secret order from the Emperor, saying that the Dragon Cavalry Army led by Su Ao had surrendered to the enemy and betrayed the country. The Yongzhou Army was ordered to surround and kill General Su Ao and the Dragon Cavalry Army in Huaishan, and that the rebels must be completely annihilated without leaving a single person alive."

"It was winter, the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, with heavy snow. General Su Ao and the Dragon Cavalry had been starving for three days due to lack of food and fodder. All traces of the massacre would be covered up by the heavy snow. It was a good opportunity with the right time, right place and right people."

The white handkerchief was stained with red blood. Xiao Yinhuan lowered his feathers and said in a cold voice, "Who sent the secret order?"

"It was Jiang Lie, the leader of the Jinyiwei in the palace, who sent the order at full speed."

"Have you seen the imperial edict?"

"At that time, Jiang Lie said it was a secret order from the emperor, an oral instruction, not an imperial decree."

That would be very interesting. Secret orders and oral instructions could be misrepresented by someone with ulterior motives.

"Besides the Yongzhou Army, who else participated in the massacre of the Dragon Cavalry Army?"

Wu Xin recalled the tragic scene at Jingshan that year. "At that time, the attack on Qiang State was massive. The Dragon Cavalry Army occupied the Qiang State city and was about to win a great victory. Several states around Yongzhou should have received the imperial edict for assistance. The Jingzhou Army, Wangzhou Army, and Gunzhou Army should have rushed there like the Yongzhou Army, and should have participated in the massacre."

In fact, the Dragon Cavalry Army was well-known at that time, and General Su Ao was the pride of all the generals. All of them, the militia commanders and generals, admired him, and no one believed that he would surrender to the enemy and betray the country.

But who dares to disobey the emperor's edict?

Su Ao had 200,000 dragon cavalry soldiers under his command and held the military power in his hands. His sister Su Yun had entered the palace to become the queen. Who could have thought that the emperor would issue a secret order to directly execute General Su Ao?

After all, everyone knows that the emperor loves Queen Su Yun very much. Over the years, the relationship between the emperor and the queen has improved. The emperor has put a lot of effort into making the beautiful woman smile.

It was obvious that Su Yun and General Wei Qing of the Mobei Army were childhood sweethearts and were discussing marriage. The Emperor fell in love with Su Yun at first sight and went back to issue an imperial decree to make her the Queen, thus ending the relationship between Su Yun and Wei Qing.

Su Yun is the daughter of an aristocratic family. She has her own pride and persistence. Her lover was originally Wei Qing, but she was suddenly taken to the palace. She was unable to grow old with her lover and felt disheartened.

But for the sake of the Su family, she could not commit suicide. Once she committed suicide, all nine generations of the Su family would be killed. Her originally lively and cheerful personality gradually became silent and lifeless within the walls of the imperial palace. The emperor doted on her and indulged her to make her smile.

"Does the commander believe that General Su Ao will surrender to the enemy and betray the country?"

Wu Xin lowered his head, not daring to look at him, but asked, "Are you a descendant of the Su family?"

Xiao Yinhuan sneered, "Didn't the Su family have their entire clan exterminated because General Su Ao betrayed the country? Do you think there are still people alive in the Su family? Back then, the Su Mansion was a river of blood, and the bodies were scattered everywhere. Even a three-year-old child was not spared. General Su Ao had two sons and one daughter who were young and innocent, but they all died under the butcher's knife. Do you want to hear me tell you about the tragic situation back then?"

Wu Xin murmured, "General Su Ao is a fierce general, but he is also a doting wife maniac. He has a good relationship with Madam Su and has two little sons and a daughter. If there had not been that battle, the two little sons would have been the same age as the young master. They have loved to touch weapons since they were young. If they were still alive, they would have been spirited young generals.

When General Su Ao was at war, he would often take out a purse and stare at it intently. I guess it must have been embroidered by his wife. After winning a battle, the general would always remember to bring gifts for his wife and children wherever he passed by.

The sinister and cruel man in front of him looked somewhat similar to General Su Ao.

Xiao Yinhuan had already clenched his fists tightly. Yes, it would be great if nothing had happened.

He looked at the bloodstains on his hands that couldn't be wiped off, and his face became more and more ugly. So many people surrounded and suppressed the Dragon Cavalry Army. The emperor really put a lot of thought into massacring the Su family.

Xiao Yinhuan walked out of the dungeon directly.

Fu Ya and Fu Xuan followed behind and felt the strong murderous aura of their master, "Master, are you going to kill Wu Xin?"

"Torture me to death every day while you're still alive."

Isn't the current emperor most concerned about his reputation? Then he will destroy his reputation bit by bit.

Xiao Yinhuan went to the inn room to take a shower, then sat by the window and peeled another candy, then called Fu Cang, "Any news about her?"

"Miss Shen?"

"Ah."
