Pang Da stared intently at Deputy General He. After this period of bed rest, his fat had disappeared, and he had completely transformed into a strong and robust general, exuding even more power.
His sense of crisis grew stronger.
Pang Da greeted him and said, "General, you seem to be feeling much better?"
Lieutenant General He laughed, his laughter filled with an indescribable joy: "Pang Da, my recovery has relieved your pressure. Aren't you happy?"
Pang Da forced a smile and said, "This humble general has been thinking of the general's recovery and praying for the general every day. Seeing the general's condition improve is naturally what I could have hoped for and I am very gratified."
As he spoke, he stared at the cypress tree. Could it be that the Soul-Returning Vines were no longer effective? Judging from Vice General He's condition, the energy emanating from his body was no different from that of a normal person.
“I have always known of your filial piety.” Deputy General He nodded: “Come and see how my cypress tree is growing.”
Pang Da's heart skipped a beat. He took two steps forward. The cypress branches and leaves were lush and layered, showing no signs of diminishing their vitality.
Logically speaking, after being entangled by the Resurrection Vine for a long time and having its nutrients drained, it should show some signs of withering and decay.
What happened? When did the situation change? Logically speaking, since Deputy General He trusted him so much, he would never have conducted an inspection.
Ponda was terrified.
He felt an unseen hand turning the tide, but he was completely unaware of it. The thought sent a chill down his spine.
Deputy General He glanced at Pang Da, who then realized that he had not yet answered Deputy General He's question.
His entire demeanor exuded caution: "He's growing very well, like a general, and his condition is becoming increasingly prosperous."
"Yes, it's all thanks to what happened a month ago." Deputy General He said with a sigh, "When I was writing your letter of recommendation, a gust of wind blew the letter away, and another gust of wind overturned this cypress tree. The doctor who treated me at the time found the vines wrapped around it, which are said to be called the 'Returning Soul Vine' and can kill people."
Lieutenant General He's gaze had cooled down at some point, turning dark and menacing as he stared at Lieutenant Pang.
"Lieutenant Pang, if I remember correctly, this cypress tree was a gift from you."
No sooner had Vice General He finished speaking than rapid footsteps sounded outside, and a squad of elite soldiers rushed in, surrounding Pang Da.
Large beads of sweat rolled down Pangda's forehead. He knew he was in deep trouble, so he quickly knelt down.
"General, I am innocent! This cypress tree is so lush. When I bought it, I didn't know it contained the Resurrection Vine, and I couldn't even see it. I absolutely did not do it on purpose. I hope you can see the truth. Can't you understand my loyalty to you?"
“Indeed, I couldn’t see it. I do understand your loyalty.” Deputy General He took a deep breath, his eyes filled with disgust and disappointment.
"Pangda, I must have been blind to trust a scumbag like you. But don't worry, you won't have another chance."
With a wave of his hand, Ponda was pinned down and dragged away.
He struggled, begged for mercy, and desperately expressed his loyalty, but to no avail. In the end, Ponta revealed his true colors and began to hurl insults.
"Hey, before you met me, you were just a lieutenant general. It was I who gave you advice and helped you get the position of deputy general. Have you forgotten all of that? Don't pretend to be so righteous. You're nothing but a heartless scoundrel."
"Those tricks are not honorable. I will let everyone know how dirty your rise to power was. When General Lin hears about it, what will he think of you? Hahahaha, we are in cahoots. You are the wolf and I am the jackal. We can't live without each other."
Lieutenant General He became wary and ordered Pang Da to be brought back. He then commanded, "Cut out his tongue and sever his tendons. I want to render him unable to speak or write, and see how he will report me."
Pang Da's eyes were filled with terror, his whole body trembled violently, and his flushed face turned pale in an instant.
