Chapter 182 Qi Yunshen, you will not die a good death in this life! Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go!

Qi Yunshen came out of the room and went straight to the dungeon.

Anyone who tortured Jiang Yunzheng in the dungeon will be executed.

Wu Yue was imprisoned in a water dungeon. His body was covered with blood marks from being whipped. When he was taken out, there were insects biting his wounds.

Wu Yue was dragged to a basin filled with charcoal. He raised his head and looked at the man with a face as dark as the devil with fear.

Wu Yue: "What else do you want to do?"

Qi Yunshen's dark eyes seemed to be looking at a dead object, and his voice was devoid of any warmth.

"Press it."

"yes."

Wu Yue couldn't struggle at all. Soon, screams like a pig being slaughtered were heard outside the dungeon.

"Qi Yunshen, you will not die a good death in this life! Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go!"

Qi Yunshen scoffed: "Wu Yue, think about the women and children you killed. Think about whether they will let you go if you go to hell."

There was a foul smell in the air.

Some people couldn't stand it and ran out to vomit.

It was unknown how long it was before Wu Yue was released. His face was covered with burns, including his eyelids and lips. He looked horrible.

Qi Yunshen said coldly: "Lock him up and torture him to death. Cut off his head before he dies."

"yes!"

After Qi Yunshen left, the soldiers who were still there looked at each other.

Unless there was a huge hatred or grudge, General Qi always dealt with his enemies swiftly and decisively, and rarely tortured people like this.

Shuitan City had just been captured, and Qi Yunshen still had a lot of things to deal with. Before he went to the mine, he went back to look at Jiang Yunzheng.

There were tears in the corners of Jiang Yunzheng's eyes even when she was asleep.

He felt that the punishment given to Wu Yue was still too light.

Qi Yunshen withdrew his hand, did not disturb her, and quietly left the room.

As soon as they arrived at the mine, Li Ke came riding up, "General, those 15,000 soldiers are all awake now. Confiscate their weapons and tie them up now."

Qi Yunshen nodded and came to the first mine. The five thousand soldiers here stared at him angrily, but did not dare to curse.

Qi Yunshen's voice was extremely powerful: "Now that Shuitan City is under attack, the flag of Daliang is hung at the city gate. If you surrender to Daliang as you wish, you can still stay in Shuitan City and help our army mine and forge weapons. Are you willing?"

The five thousand people below were all filled with righteous indignation, and no one stood up to agree.

"We will never bow down to you Daliang people!"

"You Liang bastard, Qi Yunshen, you will not die a good death!"

…

Qi Yunshen smiled and told Li Ke, "Light the fire."

The anesthetic effect on the five thousand people had not yet worn off. They were powerless and had no weapons, so they could only allow themselves to be beaten.

Li Ke drove them to an open space with some gunpowder placed around it.

Someone reacted, "He's going to blow us up!"

"General Qi, we know we were wrong."

"It was just a slip of the tongue. We can do the mining."

Qi Yunshen curled his lips and said, "You will pay the price for doing the wrong thing or saying the wrong thing. I can give you another chance. Only one thousand of you five thousand people can survive."

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, with shock and fear in our eyes.

Qi Yunshen: "Li Ke, start the timer. In a quarter of an hour, if there are more than a thousand people left, kill them all."

"yes."

This tactic of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys made the Xixia soldiers in the other two mines dare not cause trouble.

Some people even started pinching their companions in advance.

Only when you die can I live.

Qi Yunshen came to the other two mines, and the soldiers looked at him fearfully.

"General Qi, we are willing to stay here. We will be soldiers of Daliang in the future."

"Yes, General Qi, we have absolutely no second thoughts. I have elderly parents and young children to support, and my family depends on me to send military pay home."

"Please don't kill us."

The same thing happened to the Xixia soldiers in another mine.

Qi Yunshen was an expert at using the tactic of making a show of force to scare others. He kept these 10,000 people and did not let them gather together to mine. He settled some of them near Shuitan City, and most of them went to build roads and farm.

The thousand people who remained in the first mine continued to mine there.

Qi Yunshen went to the government office first, and it started snowing again in Shuitan City.

As soon as he got off the horse, the man paused, his palms turned white, and he swallowed the fishy and sweet taste in his throat.

Li Ke followed him and asked, "General, what's wrong?"

Qi Yunshen: "Nothing."

A loud shout came from behind Qi Yunshen: "General Shi Chenglin greets the general!"

Shi Chenglin was exhausted from the journey, but his eyes were shining.

Qi Yunshen nodded: "Thank you for your hard work on the road, come in first."

As they walked, Shi Chenglin said, "The three thousand soldiers who were initially heading towards Dabai Mountain were intercepted by our men and led deep into the mountains. Most of them became trapped in the swamps, and the few hundred who remained were put to use by us."

"Later, the ten thousand men transferred from the Shuitan City military camp were trapped in the valley, with no way to advance or retreat. Our archers ambushed them on the mountain and killed everyone below."

This is how war is. If the enemy doesn't die, there's no guarantee that they'll come back one day and bite you in the back, and the ones who will die will be your own people.

Qi Yun hummed, "Murong Che has already gone to Pingcheng. Shuitan City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Li Ke, you will stay in Shuitan City from now on."

There are many weapons in the armory of Shuitan City. With Li Ke's ability, he can hold out for several days. However, there are only a few hundred elite soldiers from Daliang in the city now, and they need to be transferred from Ningzhou today.

Qi Yunshen handed the written letter to Li Ke and said, "Have someone deliver it to Ningzhou."

Li Ke: “Yes!”

At this moment, secret guards brought news from Fengye City and Yuehua City.

Qin Lu led his men to rob the food supplies that were being transported from Ercheng to Changyi City, and burned most of the food supplies in Ercheng. Now he led his men to ambush on the mountain road from Pingcheng to Fengye City. Once Pingcheng sends reinforcements to Fengye City, Qin Lu can intercept them all on the spot.

Qi Yunshen then said to Shi Chenglin, "Shuitan City has been captured by us now. Even if Prince Gaoyang and Murong Che are furious, they will not send reinforcements to attack Shuitan City. You will be responsible for ambushing on the road between Pingcheng and Changyi City. If you have any news, please contact Qin Lu in time."

Shi Chenglin couldn't help but ask, "General, what about you?"

Qi Yunshen stood up and said, "I will return to Xiazhou tomorrow, and the battle with Changyi City will begin soon."

Shi Chenglin: “Yes!”

When Qi Yunshen returned, Jiang Yunzheng was sitting by the window watching the snow. There was a charcoal fire lit in the house. He changed out of his military uniform and washed up before entering the house.

The redness and swelling on Jiang Yunzheng's face had almost disappeared, but the gauze on her forehead still looked glaring.

Jiang Yunzheng's eyes were sore, and she followed Qi Yunshen wherever he went.

She had an injury on her right shoulder blade, and Qi Yunshen helped feed her. She spoke very little, only looking at Qi Yunshen with her pair of bright, wet eyes.

When sleeping, Jiang Yunzheng snuggled in Qi Yunshen's arms, holding Qi Yunshen's sleeves tightly.

Neither of them mentioned the matter of Wu Yue and Huang Quan's spiritual roots.

Qi Yunshen gently stroked the woman's long hair, "Jingyang, we will return to Xiazhou tomorrow morning."

Jiang Yunzheng frowned: "Is the matter settled?"

Qi Yunshen: "Leave this to Li Ke and the others. We still have to go back and attack Changyi City."

Jiang Yunzheng then nodded.

It's snowing heavily outside, but it's warm inside the house. I just don't know how many times such moments will come again?
