Chapter 199 It's Not Up to You!
Lin Yuesha trembled, but this was not the time for her to be afraid. She had to quickly assess her position in order to protect herself.
If no one protects her, then she'll do it herself; she's always more reliable than anyone else.
"Sir, could you please make an exception?"
Perhaps because blue eyes don't look so cruel, Lin Yuesha's fear lessened a little. She chuckled to herself, realizing she had indeed judged people by their appearance.
"Make an exception?"
Yuwen Kun revealed a wicked smile, remaining silent. Today was strange indeed; someone was actually trying to make an exception for him.
The atmosphere was eerily silent. Leaning against the wall, there was a shelf with torture instruments, a fire burning below it, and a copper basin next to the fire.
There are two types of whips: one is a regular whip, and the other has barbs on it. If you lash it, it will tear your skin and rip your flesh.
Barbarians, absolute barbarians!
The air reeked of blood, and after a while, it made people want to vomit.
Blue-eyed man sat leisurely high above, looking down on others, while in his eyes, he was nothing more than an ant.
This sense of disparity made Lin Yuesha feel ashamed and uncomfortable. She had been to the most dangerous place, the temporary residence of the Prince of Zhenbei in Hanmen Pass, where Xuan Yao and He Xing wanted to harm her, and Lin Yuesha had been carefully disguising herself.
Right now, she's trapped in a den of iniquity, with no one to help her.
The only person she knew, Jiang Baozhu, was in dire straits herself, and besides Lan Yanzhu, there was no one else around her.
Lin Yuesha sighed softly.
"Lord, we've caught a spy."
A barbarian came to report to Blue-Eyed, and Lin Yuesha finally learned the man's identity; he was the barbarian's city lord.
Unlike the Great Qi, the barbarians have several independent cities, and the power of life and death over everything within the city, including the lives of the people, is entirely managed by the city lord.
No wonder the blue-eyed man exudes an air of nobility; he must be quite an extraordinary person.
"Bring it in."
The two were speaking in a foreign language, but Lin Yuesha was surprised to understand it.
She quickly lowered her head, leaned against the corner, and tried to minimize her presence.
How could she understand the language here? Although there is occasional trade between the two countries, the language of Daqi is easier to learn than the language of the barbarians. It is the barbarians who speak the language of Daqi, while the people of Daqi do not understand the language of the barbarians.
Why exactly?
After much thought, Lin Yuesha finally attributed it to the original owner of the body. The original owner didn't seem to be so lazy and incompetent; at least she had an astonishing talent for language.
"I'm innocent, Lord City Lord! I'm not a spy!"
The barbarians who entered were so frightened that they wet themselves and kept kowtowing, but they resolutely refused to confess their crimes.
Yuwen Kun didn't speak, but instead looked at the torture instruments on the wall.
Perhaps no one has studied more thoroughly how to make someone suffer than him.
"Lord of the city, why not just kill him and feed him to the dogs?"
Yuwen Kun kept several vicious dogs, each as tall as a person, that ate raw meat and had huge appetites.
For those who have made mistakes, being reduced to ashes is the lightest punishment.
"Please, Lord City Lord, have mercy."
His barbarian subordinates knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Lin Yuesha rubbed her eyes. Killing him and feeding him to the dogs was an act of mercy. If not, how would she torture him?
She used to think that the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion was a living hell, but there are always people more capable than you, and she had seen too little of the world.
Of course, she didn't want to see this kind of thing; it would definitely leave a shadow on her.
Before she transmigrated, Lin Yuesha was someone who would scream at the sight of an insect, but now, not long after, she can remain unfazed even when she sees a corpse.
There is no room for regret or hindsight in this world. If she could turn back time, she would rather have had a pockmarked face.
“Since he is a spy, there is no question of showing mercy.”
Yuwen Kun glanced at the kneeling, trembling man and said with a smirk, "Arrange the punishments I've just researched first."
The spy let out a wail and fainted on the spot.
"Little girl, do you want to know what the latest punishments are?"
A man is not as brave as a little girl. The little girl from Daqi is fearless because she is ignorant. Yuwen Kun is very interested and he doesn't mind taking the little girl to observe.
"No... I don't want to know."
Curiosity killed the cat, and Lin Yuesha shook her head like a rattle-drum.
"That's not up to you!"
Yuwen Kun personally dragged Lin Yuesha to another room, where screams continued to come from.
Whenever he was about to faint, the executioner would pour a bucket of cold water on him to bring him back to his senses.
"this……"
Living is worse than death; a quick death would be better.
"Since they've become spies, if I, the city lord, were to give them a swift and merciful punishment, how would that deter those who harbor disloyal intentions?"
Yuwen Kun sneered. This was nothing more than an appetizer. The punishments he designed would only make people regret being born into this world and never dare to be reborn as humans in their next life.
"Little girl, do you know what the next step is?"
Yuwen Kun pushed Lin Yuesha forward so she could see it up close.
Lin Yuesha desperately wanted to faint, but she dared not. If she fainted, she might end up like the barbarians.
She bit her tongue until it bled, and the pain brought her back to her senses.
She should treat it all as a nightmare, hoping that when she wakes up, she will be back with her parents and older brother.
"have no idea."
Lin Yuesha honestly shook her head. Blue-eyed man's temperament was unpredictable; going along with him was wrong, and going against him was also wrong.
They won't listen to reason or force; they're too difficult to deal with.
"Next, wrap his whole body in bandages, throw him out to be exposed to the sun, and then tear off the gauze."
Yuwen Kun explained with "kindness".
Lin Yuesha instantly imagined the scene; her face turned pale, and she felt like she was about to faint.
"Why aren't you dizzy yet?"
Yuwen Kun's tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction.
Lin Yuesha smiled bitterly; she wanted to faint, but she didn't dare.
"Lord City Lord, may we go back to the room we were in?"
Lin Yuesha mustered her courage and made a request; the smell of blood was even stronger here, making her feel like vomiting.
If she vomited next to Blue Eyes, she might end up even worse off than the spy.
Let's go.
Yuwen Kun was very easy to talk to this time, which surprised his subordinates.
Lin Yuesha dragged her heavy shackles and followed slowly behind him, her mind racing with ideas on how to escape.
The two entered the room. Yuwen Kun remained seated in his high position, staring at Lin Yuesha in silence.
"Lord of the City, how do you intend to deal with me?"
Don't stay silent. Silence means you're holding back bad things. Lin Yuesha couldn't bear any consequences, so she became bolder and asked directly.
