The Three Kingdoms: I asked you to save Guan Yu, not to destroy Sun Quan.

Inside the stone gate lies a different world, with many stalactites hanging upside down in the seemingly endless cave.

Hundreds of corpses were piled up like garbage beneath the stalactites, some already rotten and exposing their bones, others still rotting, their bodies crawling with disgusting rats and maggots.

There were also a few that looked like they had been thrown away recently, their skin still had a slight sheen, but they still hadn't been spared by rats and insects.

Those damned bandits! After the brutal killing, they didn't even bother to dispose of the body, instead letting rats and insects run rampant in the cave. What were they thinking?

Aren't you afraid of causing a plague?

Guan Xing's worldview was somewhat shattered by this hellish scene, but he did not fly into a rage. Instead, he became unusually calm, closed the stone door again, turned to look at Wang Ergou and said, "Go and pick out the prisoners who participated in the torture and killing. If you can't pick them out, kill them all."

His tone was calm and devoid of any emotion, yet it sent a chill down Wang Ergou's spine. He stammered, "This subordinate will take care of it immediately."

After saying that, he turned and fled as if running away. He ran so fast that he bumped his head against the wall, and tears streamed down his face from the pain.

He dared not stop to relieve the pain, nor even cry out in pain, and quickened his pace to leave as fast as possible.

Guan Xing then turned his gaze to the dozens of surviving girls, but as soon as he looked at them, the girls trembled in fear and shrank back in unison.

This action caused Guan Xing's heart to clench inexplicably. In this lawless era, the lives of ordinary people, especially girls from the lower classes, are truly miserable, to the point that even death is a relief.

Isn't it scary? Isn't it ridiculous?

Guan Xing took a few steps back and raised his hands to indicate that he meant no harm. Then he said softly, "Don't be afraid. We are government soldiers, the army of the King of Hanzhong. We are here to rescue you on the orders of the King of Hanzhong. You are safe now."

After saying that, he called out to the door, "Meng Jun, go to the thatched hut and collect some clothes, and also cook some porridge."

The girls were naked and couldn't go out like that. The clothes left by the bandits in the thatched hut smelled bad, but it was better than nothing.

The clothes arrived quickly, and Guan Xing personally handed them to the pregnant woman closest to him. The pregnant woman trembled with fear, staring at Guan Xing for a long time before reaching out to take them, making sure he wasn't lying to her.

The dirty clothes offered the pregnant woman some warmth, but they also completely shattered her psychological defenses. She clutched the soiled clothes and began to sob uncontrollably, wailing in heart-wrenching pain, "Why did it take you so long to come..."

The crying infected the others, causing the girls to cry as well.

Guan Xing knew they needed to vent, so he didn't disturb them anymore. Instead, he gently placed the clothes in front of each girl and then quietly left through the stone gate.

After waiting outside for a full quarter of an hour, the girls, having vented their anger, finally helped each other out of the secret chamber, waded across the river to the other side, and knelt down before Guan Xing, who was standing to the side, saying, "This humble woman thanks my benefactor..."

Guan Xing quickly bent down to help them up, saying with a sour expression, "Please don't do this, I feel unworthy of such treatment. If I had come a few days earlier..."

He didn't know what to say, so he turned around and yelled, "Meng Jun, is the porridge ready yet?"

Meng Jun replied from afar, "I'll be right there."

Guan Xing then said, "Let's go eat first, and I'll take you home afterward."

Upon hearing the word "home," the girls couldn't help but cry softly again. When Meng Jun handed them the steaming hot rice porridge, they cried even louder.

Two quarters of an hour later, Wang Ergou led more than a dozen bandits toward Guan Xing, among them Yan Qing.

The bandits were bound hand and foot and gagged. Although they couldn't speak, they all glared angrily at Wang Ergou, hating this despicable traitor.

Some people hated them even more. The moment they saw them, the girls stopped drinking their porridge and looked at Yan Qing and the others, their eyes filled with deep hatred. Some of them couldn't help but lunge at Yan Qing, but Guan Xing held them back tightly.

Guan Xing removed the rag from Yan Qing's mouth and questioned him sternly: "What's the deal with these girls? And what's the deal with the skeletons behind the stone gate? If you don't give me an explanation today, I'll make you regret ever being born."

His tone remained calm, a calmness that frightened Yan Qing, who stammered, "I don't know, it was all Yan Zhen's doing, it has nothing to do with me."

No sooner had she finished speaking than the girl who had been stopped by Guan Xing shouted hoarsely, "You're talking nonsense! You've kidnapped me! You tortured all seven of my sisters from the same village to death! General, you must do justice for us!"

Her questioning opened the floodgates, prompting the girls to voice their accusations, with some even throwing their bowls of porridge at Yan Qing.

Guan Xing not only did not stop them, but also stepped back to make way. Encouraged, the girls rushed at Yan Qing and the others without hesitation and began to punch, kick and even bite them, venting their hatred to the fullest.

"Ah ah ah ah..."

Yan Qing was surrounded and attacked by the girls. Several pieces of flesh were bitten off, and she screamed in pain. She shouted, "Get out of my way, you bitches! What do you want to do, you bunch of used sluts?"

"General, spare my life! I am willing to go through fire and water for you. Please spare my life and make these vile people stop!"

Guan Xing ignored his pleas and calmly said, "There are gods watching over us. People are doing things and Heaven is watching. Since you chose to commit so many evils, you should have thought about what would happen today."

"Ahhh..." Yan Qing screamed again, and hurriedly shouted, "General, spare my life! I'm useful to you. I know a secret passage leading to the back mountain. This passage was prepared by Yan Zhen for his escape. Only Yan Zhen and I know about it. The other seven leaders don't know about it."

“If the general can spare my life, I will gladly offer this passage to you.”

Guan Xing's eyes lit up. If there was another passage inside the cave, the value of this mountain stronghold would be much greater. Perhaps they could use it to ambush Wu's army.

However, he did not let Yan Qing off the hook, and sneered, "Thank you for informing me, but I don't need you to deliver it. Now that I know this passage exists, I will definitely find it. At worst, I'll dig three feet into the ground."

"As for you, go to hell and repent for your sins. Don't worry, Yan Zhen will be reunited with you in a few days."

Yan Qing was so angry he almost vomited blood. Knowing that Guan Xing wouldn't let him off the hook, he gave up begging for mercy and cursed, "Guan Xing, you son of a bitch, what are you pretending to be?"

"I just killed a few women, is that a big deal? I'm risking my life for business, do you think I'm doing this for charity?"

"Your aristocratic family has killed more women than I have. If you, Guan Xing, are so capable, why don't you wipe out those scumbags too? What the hell are you trying to bully me with?"

"Aaaaaah, you bitch, I'll kill you!"

Yan Qing initially cursed with great vigor, but as time went on, her curses grew weaker and weaker.

Guan Xing was too lazy to listen to his pointless nonsense and said, "Wang Ergou, you're in charge here. Take good care of these girls. Meng Jun, come with me to the stone gate next door."

After speaking, he returned to the main hall and walked towards another stone door. Inside, he found that many thatched huts had been built along the walls, but they were clean and tidy, forming a stark contrast to the filth and disorder next door.

Upon entering the thatched huts, one finds them filled with grain. All twenty-odd thatched huts are filled with grain, except for the last one which contains thirteen large wooden chests. One of these chests contains gold and silver jewelry, while the rest are filled with strings of Wuzhu coins.

Several wooden crates were even pieced together to form a bed, making it obvious that this was Yan Zhen's residence.

"Damn Yan Zhen, he robbed so much money and grain, and I don't know how many families he has ruined and died. Let's go."

Guan Xing sighed, turned and left, but as soon as he stepped out of the room, he heard a faint sound of metal clashing.
