Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Xu Yang gritted her teeth and remained silent. Chi Xing glanced at the barbed whip over there, which was still stained with blood.

He said unhurriedly, "I know even if you don't say it, it's all for the throne? Your Tianwu Sect wants to take over the Qi Kingdom."

Hearing this, Xu Yang shook her head in horror and denied it: "You're talking nonsense."

These few dry words made Chi Xing lose his patience. He spoke slowly and deliberately, had the people next to him write down the charges, and then reached out and picked up the barbed whip to lash Xu Yang.

This is the person who caused Ayu suffering. Spring has arrived, and Qi Siyu had recently fallen ill. If I hadn't been there, Qi Siyu would probably have locked herself up for another ten days or so.

Thinking of Qi Siyu's dazed state when he was ill, and how he would even try to cut his wrists with a sharp weapon after waking up and not being able to see her, Chi Xing's actions became even more ruthless.

Xu Yang screamed in pain, thinking that Chi Xing's methods were limited and that he could hold out until Qi Silin came to save him.

Unexpectedly, the next moment they felt something being smeared on their bodies, and Akahoshi's voice, like that of a demon, rang out:

"If you won't admit it, then just enjoy these little things."

Then Xu Yang felt countless tiny creatures crawling onto his body and starting to gnaw at the whip marks from before.

The wound was already torn open, and then something was applied to it, which the little creatures seemed to love. Some gnawed on it, while others burrowed into the flesh...

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!"

The executioner, watching this scene, couldn't help but turn away, his whole body covered in goosebumps.

Xu Yang's screams echoed throughout the dungeon. The several Tianwu Sect spies who had just been captured confessed before even being tortured, upon hearing this chilling scream.

Akahoshi sat in his seat, watching the man being devoured by thousands of ants.

Xu Yang trembled all over, her teeth grinding together, and finally she couldn't help but cry out, "Spare me, please, I'll confess, I'll confess to everything... please spare me!"

However, this time, there was no response. Xu Yang regretted it. He had long heard that Chi Xing's methods were like those of Yama, the King of Hell, but he never thought that it was true.

This one move alone is enough to make someone suffer unbearable pain, wishing they were dead.

250 said that the young prince had woken up, and Chi Xing stood up, took the densely written list of crimes and walked over. The judge next to him, with his keen eye, lifted Xu Yang's hand to sign it.

"Don't let this man die." Akahoshi left with these words, carrying the indictment.

Upon returning to the Eastern Palace, Chixing handed the items to the Emperor and then took several baths.

The dungeons of the Eastern Depot were not clean, and since he had personally carried out the work, he inevitably had the smell of blood on his body.

After washing herself clean and changing her clothes, Chi Xing dried her hair before going to Qi Siyu's bedroom.

The Empress stayed with Qi Siyu the whole time, and only left when she saw her "daughter-in-law" arrive.

Upon seeing Chi Xing enter, Qi Siyu asked him to hug her, her tone slightly aggrieved: "I didn't see you when I woke up."

Knowing that he had recently fallen ill, Akahoshi hugged him back with heartache, saying, "It's my fault, there won't be a next time."

Before leaving, he deliberately asked the Empress to come and keep him company, fearing that Qi Siyu might do something rash again.

"Actually, I'm much better now, Xingxing. Am I really better?" Qi Siyu asked uncertainly again.

Akahoshi nodded in affirmation: "It's true, Ayu will live to be a hundred years old."

Qi Siyu buried her face in his chest.

In the past, he probably would have thought it would be better to die, so that he wouldn't be a burden to others.

But after meeting Akahoshi, he wanted to live, and he wanted to stay with Akahoshi until they grew old together.

The emperor received the charges against Xu Yang and, after learning the whole truth, flew into a rage.

Another bounty was issued: anyone who could capture the head of Ren Huai, the leader of the Tianwu Sect, would be rewarded with 100,000 taels of gold. Anyone who could capture a Tianwu Sect disciple would be rewarded with 10 taels of gold.

The people of the whole country learned that Tianwumen intended to rebel, and Tianwumen immediately became a pariah. Anyone who wanted to join Tianwumen instantly gave up the idea.

The disciples of Tianwu Sect tried every means to leave the mountain, abandon their identity as disciples of Tianwu Sect, and go to other countries.

When Qi Silin learned that his plot had been exposed, he hastily joined forces with the General of the Cavalry and the Prince of Jin to launch a rebellion. He believed that as long as he could storm the palace and kill the emperor and all the princes, he would become emperor and all of this would be over.

Qi Silin knew this was his last chance.

With the enemy at the gates, every household in the imperial city remained indoors, except for the palace gates, which were wide open.

Qi Silin led his men directly into the palace, while the Prince of Jin and the General of the Cavalry led their troops in from outside the city.

Before the morning court session had even ended, the officials sensed something was wrong and rushed to the emperor to protect him. Qi Silin led his men in.

He vowed to avenge his mother, but the emperor just watched him quietly, as if he were watching a clown.

As usual, the chief eunuch announced loudly, "If you have something to report, speak now; otherwise, the court is adjourned."

The officials were sweating bullets. What kind of time was this for the eunuch to bring up such things?

Qi Silin, oblivious to the emperor's fear, was furious: "Father, give me your throne, and I will grant you the title of Emperor Emeritus, otherwise..."

"Oh? What else can I do?" the emperor said with a smile, showing no fear whatsoever.

Qi Silin, on the contrary, began to feel guilty, but when he thought of the General of the Cavalry's 100,000 troops, he was no longer afraid.

While waiting for the army to enter the palace, Qi Silin continued to utter harsh words.

Suddenly, with a "whoosh," the sound of an arrow piercing the air rang out, and Qi Silin turned to dodge.

Several arrows came flying toward Qi Silin in quick succession. Even with his excellent martial arts skills, Qi Silin's arm was grazed by the arrows.

Some of the remnants of the Tianwu Sect around him were hit by arrows, and only then did Qi Silin see Qi Siyu and Chi Xing on the roof not far away.

Qi Silin gritted his teeth: "Qi Siyu, you deserve to die!"

Upon hearing this, the emperor shouted angrily, "Insolence! Guards, seize this rebellious son, and kill the rest without mercy!"

"Yes!" Suddenly, a group of people dressed in black appeared around them. Upon closer inspection, their clothes were embroidered with flying fish patterns, which clearly indicated that they were guards from the Eastern Depot.

Qi Silin was dumbfounded. Shouldn't these people have already been taken into custody by the General of the Cavalry? Why are they here?

Before he could think further, Qi Siyu continued firing arrows in their direction, as if he were playing around.

The few hundred men he brought were quickly slaughtered by the Eastern Depot's guards, leaving no one alive. Qi Silin was hit by two arrows, seemingly spared on purpose.

Just then, the sound of a neat troop of footsteps approached, and Qi Silin finally saw the General of the Cavalry.

Turning around, I saw a group of people following behind the General of the Cavalry, escorting the Prince of Jin, who looked indignant.

The General of the Cavalry knelt before the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I am late in coming to your aid. Please forgive me."

The emperor smiled and said, "Rise. You have rendered meritorious service in capturing the rebels..."

Qi Silin's eyes widened, realizing he had been tricked; this General of the Cavalry had always been the emperor's man.

He didn't know when he was taken away; he only heard that he was to be executed.
