Chapter 96: Si Yao's Punishment - Orders Execution
Having witnessed all of this, Si Yao finally felt relieved.
She smiled and raised her hand, "Aim your bows and arrows at the enemy, and we'll wipe them out. Then we'll get military merit when we get back."
There were only a few dozen enemies left, while her 7th Battalion still had 500 men—no, 499.
The soldiers fired their arrows in unison.
The battlefield was filled with the scent of death.
They're all dead.
All the men in the Sixth Battalion were killed, and all the enemy soldiers were killed as well.
Si Yao said, "We killed the enemy soldiers, do you remember?"
No one answered her; everyone remained silent.
Si Yao is furious!
"If you don't want military merit after all this, you can just say so!"
The man who didn't want military merit was shot dead on the spot by her.
No one dared to answer her; they all lowered their heads.
“Everyone dies on the battlefield. You don’t need to pretend like this. If they weren’t the ones who died, you would be the ones who died. Think of your parents, wives, and children…”
Speaking of this...
Finally, someone is willing to look up.
Si Yao smiled and said, "Now, can you listen to me?"
Some people nodded with a conflicted expression.
"Smear the enemy's blood on yourself, slash your own armor a few more times, and then..." Si Yao suddenly had a good idea.
“Cut off all their ears and go back to claim credit. If there aren’t enough, the Sixth Battalion can take them too…” Her voice trailed off as she spoke.
"Seventh Battalion, let's return victorious!"
She watched it all with a victor's air, smiling.
Later, when one of the Seventh Battalion died, she felt ashamed and unworthy of her reputation as an invincible female general with no casualties.
Fortunately, the dead soldier from the Seventh Battalion was hidden and his death was not reported.
The soldier's family is still waiting for their son to come back, and some impoverished families can't even get a penny of the death compensation.
After seeing all of this.
The image freezes on Si Yao's smiling face as she surveys the battlefield.
That smile sent chills down the spines of countless people, filling them with dread.
The emperor clenched his fists and took deep breaths.
The ministers were terrified, their expressions filled with extreme anger as they looked at the kneeling Si Yao, wishing they could tear her to pieces!
Su Xiao was completely stunned, his image of his heroic and valiant wife, who never held grudges, was shattered.
He was stunned, his eyes turning from confusion to rage, a blood-red glare.
Su Mengmeng looked at Si Yao, unmoved: It was clearly that man who cursed first, so what's wrong with me retaliating?
Everyone except her was furious and wanted to tear such a vicious person to pieces!
Wang Qi's anger had already caused him to lose control. He rushed forward and grabbed Si Yao by the collar.
"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!!!"
He shouted out of control.
I knew my father had died unjustly, but I never imagined it was this unjust.
No wonder the resentment of the five hundred people lingered for so long!
No wonder they would rather abandon their corpses and the chance of reincarnation than return to their hometown as evil spirits.
No wonder, when they returned to their hometowns, they didn't go to visit their families they missed, but came to seek revenge...
How much resentment would it take to do that?
But these grudges are enough for them to pay any price for it!
Qingbao stood there, so angry that her hair stood on end. For the first time, she truly understood what it meant to be:
There are no devils in hell; the real devils are on earth.
The guards went up and pulled Wang Qi away.
Si Yao burst into maniacal laughter, "Hahaha, did you all see that with your own eyes? It's all fake, fake!!!"
She pointed at Qingbao, her face contorted with anger.
"It's all her fault. She's a born jinx, destined to bring misfortune. And now she's holding a pen... there's a ghost in that pen..."
"So, all of this was staged by her to deceive you, all to oust me and let her mother take over!!!"
After saying that.
Si Yao started crying again, tears streaming down her face. She knelt down and looked at Su Xiao, crawling over to him.
He reached out and tugged at Su Xiao's robe.
"Brother Xiao, I am your wife. You should know my character very well. How could I possibly do such a thing?"
"Everyone knows that Qingbao is a jinx. She uses her malevolent energy to weave lies, trying to bring me to my doom. You must not believe her..."
She cried very miserably, her hands and feet trembling.
She's afraid of dying.
She cannot die.
Su Xiao has such great military achievements that he could save her life even if he had to give up everything.
"Yes, Father, please save Mother! It was all made up by that wicked Qingbao! She can use evil energy!!!"
Su Mengmeng realized that her mother might really be in danger, so she knelt down crying and begged Su Xiao.
Su Xiao came to his senses and stood straight, his eyes bloodshot.
After a moment, he looked down at Si Yao and her daughter.
Si Yao smiled, then cried again, "Brother Xiao, you believe me, don't you..."
But who knew?
Su Xiao's lips trembled as he uttered a few words: "Qingbao is not a jinx."
These words were spoken.
Si Yao and her daughter were both stunned.
Qingbao isn't a jinx? How is that possible? Then why can she use resentment to make evil spirits obey her?
There's a jinx in the General's Mansion. If it's not Qingbao, then who is it?
"Brother Xiao, you've lost your mind..." Si Yao pleaded, her voice trembling.
Su Xiao's words have cleared Qingbao of the fact that she used evil energy to frame her.
"I'm perfectly sober." Su Xiao gritted his teeth, kicked her away, and pointed at her, saying, "Qingbao is a lucky person chosen by the Su family ancestors. If she's a jinx, were our ancestors blind?"
"You have committed countless evil deeds, causing the deaths of five hundred people, including Wang Sheng, and even planning to poison his entire family to silence them. Your heart is so wicked; you are more vicious than a demon!"
at this time.
Qingbao shook her head slightly, "If you still don't repent now, you're completely finished."
Such a person, even if they enter the underworld, cannot be reincarnated.
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault..." Si Yao glared angrily at Qing Bao, "Why can you use evil spirits to harm me, why?!"
She wanted to rush up and tear Qingbao apart.
The emperor raised his hand, and the guards instantly subdued her.
"You can't even beat two guards, and you still have the nerve to call yourself a female general!"
Si Yao was so terrified that she trembled and couldn't utter a single word.
Seeing that she was still trying to deny it and refused to admit her guilt, they decided to stop.
The abbot of Zhenguo Temple stepped forward and chanted a Buddhist prayer.
“Amitabha Buddha, good and evil are rewarded accordingly. The reason why Wang Sheng failed to take revenge was because I mistakenly gave you the peace talisman.”
"Now, in order to settle the matter of cause and effect, this old monk will investigate."
After saying that, he waved his hand.
Golden light entered Si Yao's mind.
The truth was indeed as he had thought.
“Your Majesty, I just searched her memories and found that they are no different from what was shown in the images.”
It was all true; Si Yao could no longer deny it.
Wang Sheng cried and wailed, while countless soldiers behind him revealed hideous, blood-stained faces, and shouted in unison:
"Your Majesty, please severely punish the wicked!"
The ministers also knelt down, and Wang Qi also knelt down, both of them weeping bitterly:
"Your Majesty, please punish the wicked severely."
The emperor finally lost his temper and shouted:
"Take Si Yao to the Meridian Gate and behead her as a warning to the public!!"
