Upon hearing this, Pei Shaochu felt a chill run down his spine!
In an instant, a feeling of suffocation surged into my heart!
Pei Shaochu pointed at Mu Zian, his voice trembling.
"I...I have achieved great merit! You...you cannot kill me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Cheng, who was standing to the side, stepped forward, grabbed Pei Shaochu's fingers, and forcefully pried them open.
Everyone heard a snap! Pei Shaochu's five fingers were all bent into an odd ninety-degree angle.
The pain was excruciating, causing Pei Shaochu to collapse to the ground, wailing incessantly.
Mu Zian looked at Pei Shaochu with a cold gaze and said.
"Now you've remembered your illustrious achievements in Dali! When you were harming the people, did you ever think that you were also a member of Dali?"
"Since you chose to betray your country and surrender to the enemy, you should know what your fate will be. When you're in this business, you have to admit your mistakes and stand up straight when you're about to be beaten!"
As they were talking, several soldiers carried in several bamboo baskets from outside the door.
The bamboo basket fell to the ground with a crisp clanging sound.
The soldiers of Wuwei City around them all cast curious glances.
As the black cloth covering the bamboo basket was lifted, everyone gasped in shock.
What they found inside the bamboo basket was not grain or jewels, but rather the white bones of the people who had been boiled into corpse oil.
Mu Zian slowly stood up and looked down at Pei Shaochu, who was groaning on the ground.
"You will not be alone on your journey to the Yellow Springs; these people will follow you."
After saying this, the soldiers lifted the bamboo baskets and poured all the white bones inside into the black coffin.
Continue until the bottom of the coffin is completely covered.
As Pei Shaochu lay on the ground, he watched the bones being poured into the coffin, his body trembling uncontrollably.
The psychological pain has now surpassed the physical pain.
"No! No! No! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"
Pei Shaochu crawled out using both his hands and feet, the blood gushing from his legs staining the lobby floor red.
Upon seeing this, Luo Cheng looked displeased and strode forward, grabbing Pei Shaochu's arm and forcefully twisting it.
A scream rang out! Pei Shaochu's two arms were instantly broken, the exposed white bones dripping with blood.
Everyone present was astonished by Luo Cheng's ruthlessness.
Luo Cheng grabbed Pei Shaochu's head and lifted it up forcefully.
Pei Shaochu was thrown into the coffin like a carp that had just been caught.
Clang! Clang!
The crisp sound of bones rubbing and colliding could be heard continuously.
Pei Shaochu struggled inside the coffin, but with all four limbs broken, he was powerless to resist!
The bones that were originally laid on the ground surged up as Pei Shaochu struggled, almost burying him alive.
The originally spacious coffin now appeared quite crowded.
As the last basket of bones was poured in, Pei Shaochu's cries for mercy grew weaker and weaker.
Four soldiers lifted the coffin lid and closed it.
At this moment, apart from the occasional vibrations coming from the coffin walls, there were no other sounds.
The Wuwei City generals who were watching felt their throats dry and itchy, and their fear of Mu Zi'an deepened.
Mu Zian looked around and saw that no one dared to meet his gaze.
This is the effect Mu Zian wanted to achieve. He needed to make an example of someone to show everyone that anyone who dared to betray Pei Shaochu would suffer the same fate!
After nailing the coffin in, the group carried it to a pre-dug pit.
At this moment, the deep pit was filled with countless Hun corpses.
The soldiers carrying the coffin gave it a powerful push! The coffin, under the force of gravity, immediately rolled to the bottom of the pit.
Under Mu Zian's watchful gaze, layer upon layer of soil was continuously filled into the deep pit.
The coffin containing Pei Shaochu then disappeared from everyone's sight.
Even Chu Xuesong, a veteran of countless battles, felt a chill run down his spine at this moment.
Mu Zian remained silent, and no one present dared to leave.
Until the pit was completely filled, Thousand Nights Unreserved galloped wildly until the soil on the surface of the pit was completely compacted.
Although it was a bright and sunny midday, Mu Zi'an gave off a chilling feeling.
After confirming that the ground had been compacted, Mu Zian turned around and looked at the people behind him.
"Traitors deserve to die, while defenders of the country deserve great rewards!"
As soon as Mu Zian finished speaking, Jia Xu immediately waved his hand.
Immediately afterwards, people carried out one box after another.
Everyone swallowed hard as they looked at the boxes, fearing they might contain bones again.
However, Mu Zian stepped forward and yanked open the wooden box!
The next moment! Under the sunlight, the gold and silver jewels inside the box shone with dazzling brilliance!
These were all valuables recovered from the Xiongnu military camp, and the sheer amount was staggering.
Everyone present was immediately shocked, but Mu Zian remained calm and spoke.
"Our lord has always been fair in rewarding and punishing, and you have all made great contributions today, so I will naturally not be stingy with my rewards."
"As for the imperial court's military rewards, that's another matter! These are all rewards for your courage!"
"Generals and soldiers alike will receive a share!"
Upon hearing this, all the soldiers present immediately erupted in cheers!
However, Mu Zian paused for a moment, and then said coldly.
"But! If I find out that anyone dares to withhold the reward!"
With a whoosh!
Mu Zi'an drew his Qinggang sword from his waist and plunged it heavily into the wooden box! Then he said coldly.
"Don't blame me for being merciless with my sword!"
Mu Zi'an had long since mastered the art of giving a slap followed by a sweet treat.
All the soldiers bowed and proclaimed in unison.
"Your subordinate obeys!"
What we've just wiped out is merely the vanguard of the Xiongnu.
Next, we will face the real army led by the Left Wise King of the Xiongnu!
Mu Zi'an needed to get these soldiers excited! Because the real challenge had only just begun!
The death of Tie Ge at least gave Mu Zi'an and Wuwei City a chance to catch their breath.
Just as Mu Zian was pondering her next plan, the system's voice sounded again.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a choice!"
"Option 1: Hold Wuwei City and wait for the enemy to tire themselves out. Reward: 5,000 elite armored soldiers."
"Option 2: Advance into Fuling City and reclaim lost territory. Reward: A mysterious elite legion of two thousand men."
"Please make a decision, host."
