Reunion?

This was the most ridiculous joke Luo Lei had heard this year.

They were arrested by the government together. Could they be reunited in prison or in the underworld?

It can be said that they have done nothing good in these years and have done nothing bad. He does not think that these people will just lock them up. He estimates that when these officers and soldiers rush into the mountain stronghold, most of his brothers will be strangled to death on the spot.

But what does this have to do with him? The brothers in the village are not real brothers, so their life or death is none of his business. Now that the knife is on his neck, all he says is to find a quicker way to die.

"Sir, if I tell you this, can you please give me a chance to live? I will definitely turn over a new leaf and become a new man from now on." Luo Lei had a bitter face. Even though he knew that the hope was slim, it was useless to keep his face if he could survive.

"Heh" Shen Lingge curled his lips in disdain. Such an unjust person who is afraid of death and loves life, in the words of Sister Zhaozhao, is a parasite to the entire country.

He was dissatisfied with Loredo in his heart, but he did say, "If you answer truthfully, I can consider your request."

Perhaps Shen Lingge wasn't holding a dagger to his neck at the moment, or perhaps Luo Lei felt he still had some value, so he stiffened his neck and said, "General, don't lie to me. I'm not one of those ignorant bandits. If I really tell the truth, you will definitely kill me after you succeed in suppressing the bandits. You said you would consider it, but in the end, you will only consider whether to kill me or not."

Shen Lingge: “…”

I didn't expect that this bandit was not completely brainless.

With Shen Lingge interrogating her, Shen Yu had some free time. Seeing that Xu Zhao was thin and the wind was strong in the mountains, he took a cloak for her.

"The wind is strong, don't catch a cold." Shen Yu didn't avoid outsiders and put the cap on Xu Zhao and tied the belt.

The two men were very close. "Qinghe still doesn't have enough courage. This thief is cunning, but he's a complete fool at heart. It's better to use force to solve the problem. If we see some blood, he'll naturally confess the truth."

"Why don't you teach him? The sooner we understand the situation, the easier it will be for us to wipe out these bandits and leave as soon as possible." Shen Yu smoothed the cloak on Xu Zhao's shoulders and put the hat on her with gentle movements.

"Row!"

The conversation between the two was relaxed as usual.

Shen Yu moved aside to make way for Xu Zhao, and sat on the carriage, quietly watching how Xu Zhao made the bandit speak.

Xu Zhao walked forward, borrowed a long sword from a soldier beside him, and walked up to Luo Lei.

She patted Shen Lingge on the shoulder and said, "Why bother with such a villain? We just captured so many bandits. If we interrogate them one by one, there will definitely be someone willing to tell us about the deployment. As for this..."

Xu Zhao stared at Luo Lei lying on the ground with a look as if he were looking at a dead man. "Why don't you chop off his hands and feet first, and keep the body and head for you to practice lingchi slowly."

She pointed at someone nearby and said, "Straighten his arms and legs. This is my first time chopping them off, so let me practice. Then go grab the remaining survivors and keep an eye on them."

Xu Zhao held no official position, and even though they had been together for some time, these orders still required the prince's permission. The soldier assigned by Xu Zhao turned his head to look at the voice behind him, and after he nodded, the soldier bowed to Xu Zhao and said, "Miss, wait a moment."

After the soldier finished speaking, he waved his hand and several bandits who had been thrown aside and under strict guard were dragged in front of everyone. The stones on the ground and the dragging made the bandits, who were originally a little confused, instantly wake up.

Seeing a group of soldiers in military uniforms and holding swords, they were so scared that their legs were shaking. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that they had hit a wall this time and had robbed a government official.

Looking at the second-in-command who brought them out, he was being trampled underfoot like a stray dog.

"Please spare our lives, sirs. We have elderly parents and young children to take care of, and our families are waiting for me to go back and take care of them." Although these people were tied up, it did not affect them from kneeling down and begging for mercy.

Xu Zhao didn't believe what these people said about having families to take care of. Instead, he patted Luo Lei's face with his sword and said, "See? Even without you, we still have so many people and so many mouths. There must be someone willing to tell us what we want to know."

"Stretch out his arms and legs so I can practice," Xu Zhao said to the men who were still begging for mercy. "Just watch, your second-in-command is so loyal that he refuses to reveal the defenses of Songfeng Village. For such loyalty, we must treat him well."

Luo Lei's hands and feet were stretched out by the soldiers beside him, and Xu Zhao raised his sword and chopped at his left hand.

The sword tip slashed and flashed before Luo Lei's eyes.

A strong smell of urine came, and Luo Lei was so scared that he became incontinent. He felt as if the air was frozen, and his pupils were dilated with fear.

The pain he imagined did not happen. He looked at the sword blade in horror, which was only an inch away from his wrist. His hand was almost broken!

He hadn't expected this woman to be so brutal. She didn't even give him a chance to fight back, shouting and screaming for revenge. His breathing was rapid, his palms cold. Just when he thought Xu Zhao was just trying to scare her, he heard a demonic voice in his ear.

"I feel like the wrist is being chopped off a bit too high. It's better to chop the forearm here, where the joint is easier to cut." Xu Zhao fanned the air in disgust to dispel the smell of urine from his nose, and moved the blade of the sword from the wrist to the elbow joint.

"Just bear with it for a while. I'll move quickly and it won't hurt soon." As he said that, Xu Zhao raised his sword again and pretended to chop it down.

Seeing that she was really serious, Luo Leng hurriedly shouted, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you! Stop torturing me!"

His dejected expression was obvious, and he regretted very much why he had tried to bargain to save his life just now, and now he had provoked this evil spirit.

Xu Zhao handed the sword to Shen Lingge. "Why waste time talking to such a villain? If he doesn't cooperate, you can just chop him down with your sword." She pointed at the other bandits kneeling on the ground nearby. "Aren't there still many of them? They're useless, so there's no point in keeping them."

"Thank you, Sister Zhaozhao. Qinghe has learned a lot from you."

Xu Zhao returned to the carriage. Shen Lingge pointed his sword at Luo Lei, and without the previous "goodwill" he had shown, he said, "Speak."

Luo Lei told the whole story about the stronghold's defenses, even the shifts of dozens of patrolmen and the weakest spots.

Finally, Xu Zhao poked his head out and asked, "Just now you said that Lihua Village was inhabited by the elderly, the weak, women and children, then why didn't you occupy Lihua Village?"

In this era, there are many people who bully men and women, and bandits are no exception.

If there was such a piece of fat meat at her fingertips, she didn't believe that the people from Songfeng Village would let the people from Lihua Village go.

"Of course we wanted to occupy it, but the terrain of Lihua Village is easy to defend but difficult to attack. And there is a resourceful gentleman who suffered several defeats, so our boss gave up."

After getting what he wanted to know, Xu Zhao retracted his head.

With accurate information, Shen Lingge ordered his men to knock the bandits unconscious and tie them up.

Shen Yu ordered someone to inform the envoys from Mobei that they would probably have to stay in the mountains tonight, and that they must wipe out Songfeng Village tonight.
