Almost simultaneously, Huo Tingye walked in from outside and stomped his foot hard.

In an instant, the entire cage roared as if mountains and rivers were collapsing.

The hard marble floor cracked, revealing a dense network of cracks that spread like a spider web beneath the deranged Ling Buyi.

Ling Buyi, as if he had seen a ghost, crawled to his knees with a miserable howl and kowtowed repeatedly.

They looked as pitiful as could be.

Qin Yue Zhao didn't even glance at him, but instead coldly shouted at Huo Tingye, "Drag him away!"

The bearded man twisted into a ball like a shrimp, his neck veins bulging from the pain, and his eyes rolled back.

Qin Yue Zhao laughed maniacally, her laughter making the air tremble.

"Hahaha, hahaha..."

Chen Wan'er had never seen her smile like that before, and she opened her mouth in surprise.

The Huo family soldiers inside the prison were stunned by her torturous methods.

The bearded man was writhing in pain, foaming at the mouth, but Qin Yue Zhao showed no sign of stopping.

"You bastard, this needle will let you enjoy the pain of your bones being crushed inch by inch."

"As you know, not long ago, I used the heads of my barbarian soldiers to pay tribute to the soldiers of Daqian and General Nan. So today, I don't mind killing one more of you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bearded man roared in agony:

"Ah, you vile woman, I'll haunt you even if I die!"

"Ghost? I'm not even afraid of you alive, why would I be afraid of you becoming a ghost after you die?"

"You filthy woman, you shameless woman, if you have the guts, kill your grandfather, ahhh..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Yuezhao grabbed his hair.

She dragged him until the veins on his neck bulged and he was struggling to breathe before revealing a murderous glint in her eyes and saying, "I told you, I won't let you die so easily!"

Looking into her eyes, devoid of any human emotion, the bearded man felt as if something was choking him, and could only howl; he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

This is a fear that comes from the depths of the soul!

The underground cell was deathly silent; you could hear a pin drop.

"Princess Da Gan... the Northern Barbarian army will surely take your dog's life! There's a plague in Liangcheng, and only Prince Heji has the disease. You're all doomed..."

"Ha, only Heji has the cure for the plague, so why am I standing here? With the help of the gods, why would I fear a mere plague?"

A strong killing intent swept in, permeating the entire underground prison.

Finally, a hint of despair flashed in the bearded man's eyes.

"Alright, I'll tell you everything, just remove the silver needles first..."

Qin Yue Zhao thought for a moment, then waved her hand.

"Ding~"

The silver needle fell to the ground.

The bearded man gasped for breath, as if he had been given a new lease on life.

Qin Yue Zhao leaned down and got close to him.

"Speak! Where are the Northern Barbarian spies? What's the next mission?"

His deathly gaze pierced the deepest part of his heart, as if it could penetrate him to the very end.

The bearded man felt his liver and gall bladder tremble with fear, and cried out in horror, "I...I'll talk, I'll tell you everything!"

He abandoned his tough stance, swallowed hard, and spoke in a trembling voice like a stray dog.

"We were originally bandits in the desert, hired to be spies in Liangcheng."

"I don't know how many spies there are in Liangcheng. I only know that before they send a message to the Northern Barbarians, they go to the high mountains in the east. The terrain there is dangerous. The Northern Barbarians have a kind of mastiff that can fly over the high mountains."

"A mastiff?" Qin Yue Zhao's eyes grew even deeper.

The bearded man was somewhat intimidated.

"Yes, ever since the Huo family army defeated the Northern Barbarians, the Ao Ying have been coming very frequently. They will definitely come to gather information again tonight."

"Are you coming again tonight?" Qin Yue Zhao paced slowly, as if considering the credibility of his words.
