With dual PhDs in materials science from his previous life, he transmigrated to ancient times and became a perpetually snubbed, impoverished scholar.
His family had reached the end of their r...
Upon seeing Gao Ting's appearance, Li Guang was immediately delighted. Anyone who bumped into him in the middle of the night would be scared half to death.
"It would be great if General Gao could find a way to get the enemy general to talk."
"Alright then, General Gao, choose one enemy general to interrogate, and I'll go and try to get him to talk."
"Then I'll interrogate that Huadao. I'll make him talk." After Gao Ting finished speaking, he went straight to the interrogation room.
The two were interrogated separately. In the interrogation room where Huadao was detained, Gao Ting, holding a gourd of wine, kicked open the door and staggered in.
The soldiers guarding inside were startled, and Huadao, who was tied to a chair, was also shocked; the man's appearance was terrifying.
"What are you people good for? You can't even ask a single question, which has led to this general being punished by the marshal."
As Gao Ting spoke, he walked up to Huadao, staring with his big, bulging eyes, reeking of alcohol.
"I've questioned you for a long time, but I haven't gotten anything out of you. It seems you're a fine man. I won't waste my breath. I'll make you into a snack with my wine now."
After Gao Ting finished speaking, he sat down at the table in front of Huadao.
"Let them in." The soldiers inside immediately opened the door, and two men walked in, carrying a cutting board, a sharp knife, and some seasonings.
Judging from their attire, both of them were military cooks. What were military cooks doing here? Huadao immediately had a bad feeling.
Two military cooks came to Gao Ting's table, began to arrange the items they had brought on the table, and then stood aside waiting for Gao Ting's instructions.
"What are you two still standing there for? Don't you know why I summoned you here?" Gao Ting roared, and the whole house shook.
"The general wants to eat this enemy general's head, so we have come to serve him."
"Good to know. Don't mess up the order. This isn't the first time you've made this dish for me."
"Eat the head and ears first. The general likes them fresh and bloody. We've also brought the seasonings, so we won't disappoint him."
"Then hurry up! I've already drunk half a pot of wine, and I can't wait any longer."
"Please wait a moment, General. We will prepare the appetizers shortly." After saying this, the two chefs headed towards Flower Island.
A chef poured a basin of hot water over Huadao's head. Although it wasn't very hot, it still made Huadao feel extremely uncomfortable.
After hot water was poured over Hanashima's head, one chef began to carefully clean Hanashima's ears with a brush, while another chef stood beside him with a sharp knife.
"What do you want to do?" Huadao asked in terror.
The two chefs ignored them and focused on their work.
Flower Island began to struggle and roared.
"Let me go! What do you want?"
Because of the struggle on Flower Island, which affected the chef's cleaning, he spoke up.
"Should we tie him up a little tighter? If you don't cut his ear neatly when you cut it later, it will affect the taste, and the general will be angry."
“Yes, it needs to be tied tighter.” Another chef nodded and instructed the soldier next to him to tie Huadao tighter, and the soldier immediately did so.
By this time, Huadao already knew what was going on. He never expected that the fierce-looking general in front of him would like to eat people's ears.
"You didn't cut off my ear and give it to him as a snack with your drinks, did you?" Hanashima asked in horror.
A chef glanced at Gao Ting furtively and whispered to Hua Dao, "Don't you know that General Gao likes to eat human flesh, especially human heads? He eats the heads in the order of ears, nose, mouth, tongue, and eyes."
But don't worry, General Gao won't take your life. Even if he cuts off these things from your head and eats them, you won't die.
"Please be patient with us later. If the cut pieces aren't whole, General Gao will punish us."
"Ah!" Huadao finally understood and was so scared that he wet himself.
If he were to suffer the pain of being stabbed, it wouldn't matter, since he would die anyway.
But to have the flesh on your head cut off bit by bit and still not die is truly worse than death.
By this time, the chef had already cleaned the ears of the flower island.
"Your ears are clean now, it's up to you," the chef said.
"Okay, I'll cut off the ear first, then cut it into strips and marinate it."
After the other chef finished speaking, he came over, grabbed Hanashima's ear, and was about to use a knife.
It seems this time it's for real. I should just tell them; I can't bear this kind of suffering.
Thinking of this, Huadao shouted loudly, "Wait a minute, I'll talk, I'll tell you everything."
The chef stopped wielding his knife, looked at Gao Ting, and asked:
"General Gao, what should we do? Should we still take action?"
Gao Ting was secretly pleased. He pretended to consider it for a moment before saying, "Then let him tell us. If he doesn't tell the truth, it's not too late to take action later."
Having no other option, Huadao began to elaborate on what he knew.
As for Li Guang, seeing Gao Ting leave, he stood up and went to another interrogation room to begin questioning Ge Kaishan.
The two interrogation rooms were set up almost the same. Ge Kaishan was tied to a chair, and blood had already stained half of his body red from a gunshot wound to one arm.
Seeing this, Li Guang frowned and said:
"How can you treat prisoners of war like this? They've suffered such serious injuries and you still won't treat them. Call the medic right now!"
The military doctor arrived quickly, first untying the rope binding Ge Kaishan's arm, and then began treating his gunshot wound.
Ge Kaishan's wound was treated in no time, and the soldiers asked:
"Marshal, should we tie him up again?"
"I won't tie him up for now. With me here, he can't escape."
"Yes, sir," the soldiers replied.
It was only then that Ge Kaishan realized that the young general in front of him was actually Han Yuguan's newly appointed marshal.
Needless to say, this man was Li Guang. He never expected that Li Guang, who made the barbarian soldiers who invaded the Central Plains tremble with fear, was actually the man in front of him. Ge Kaishan couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Li Guang had a kind face, and he had just had the army doctor come over to treat my gunshot wound, which made me feel quite favorable towards him.
He was a foreigner, and no matter how good Li Guang was to him, he would never betray his country. Li Guang had come in person this time, so he must be here to interrogate him. He would not say anything.
Li Guang stared at Ge Kaishan and said:
"General Ge is indeed a man of honor, unyielding to the death, like a barking dog barking at Yao, each serving its own master. If it weren't for the invasion of our Great Northern Dynasty by foreign powers, we would not have met on the battlefield."
Li Guang's words were very sincere, and Ge Kaishan seemed to agree, so he spoke up:
“I have long heard of Marshal Li and have great respect for him. As the Marshal said, we each serve our own masters. I know that the Marshal has come to ask some questions. I am very sorry, but I am unable to comply.”
