Gongchen Cliff felt a chill run through his body.
Tell me, where is she?
The force in his hands was so strong that it almost crushed his bones into powder. His body went limp from the pain, and he collapsed at Yuwen Sheng's feet.
He turned his head away, large beads of cold sweat dripping down his pale face. He clenched his teeth but didn't utter a single word.
"Brother Ya'er!"
Xiao Meng exclaimed in surprise. Gong Chenya turned his head to look and saw that the entire hunting team they had brought had been captured by the Ye army and were pinned to the ground with their arms behind their backs.
They had never seen that gold and jade bracelet before. Its style clearly indicated it was for a woman. Since it did not belong to Gongchen Cliff, it must have been a gift from someone else.
Thinking back, although Xiao Meng didn't understand what they were interrogating her about, she guessed that the gold and jade bracelet must be related to Sister Ruler.
Just as she was hesitating and wondering, she heard the devilish leader deliver a harsh, winter-like verdict.
"I've always liked people who are stubborn, the tougher the better, because once you pry them open, the contents will be more satisfying. You're not afraid of death, fine, I won't kill you. How about we test whether your stubbornness or these people's lives are tougher?"
He pointed directly at the group of people who were struggling but were being held down on the ground. They were all people who were willing to risk their lives with Gongchenya. Now, their lives were tied to Gongchenya alone. This weight was enough to make him surrender.
Yuwen Sheng always kept his word. With his eyes fixed on Gongchen Cliff, he raised his arm, and the Ye soldiers raised their knives, gesturing towards their necks, waiting for his command.
At this moment, Xiao Meng finally couldn't hold back anymore and cried out, "Let go of Brother Ya'er! I know whose bracelet it is!"
"You know?" Yuwen Sheng's attention was drawn to the woman's jarring voice. He followed the direction and saw Xiao Meng with tears streaming down her face.
"I know……"
"Xiao Meng, this thing is mine. What do you know? Have you seen it with your own eyes before?" Gong Chenya shouted angrily.
Xiao Meng trembled: "I...I..."
She was just guessing based on her intuition, but if she didn't say anything, what would happen to Brother Ya'er, what would happen to them?
At this moment, she realized that she didn't want to die; she wanted to live.
But Gongchenya knew that even if they brought out a ruler, so what? Would Yuwen Sheng let them go?
No, besides letting him know what he wants to know, they still can't escape this calamity. If that's the case, why should he let Yuwen Sheng get what he wants?
Ah, he deliberately wants to make him "gain and then lose," to make him lose sight of what he was just one step away from, and to make him restless and confused all day long!
"Yuwen Sheng, what is there to fear in death? If you have the guts, then kill us all. But the things you want to know, the people you want to find, you will never get from my mouth."
He grinned and laughed merrily, his soft, brownish-yellow eyelashes curving up like those of a mischievous child.
Yuwen Sheng stared at him silently for a moment, then slowly moved his hand toward his head, gradually applying pressure. The sudden, powerful squeezing force caused Gongchen Ya's intracranial pressure to increase dramatically.
The pain is reflected on the face as blood rushes to the head, the eyeballs bulge, and blood vessels become dense, creating a terrifying sight, like a ripe tomato with only a thin skin left, ready to explode at the slightest pressure.
"Cliff!" Aunt Mei cried out desperately, kicking her legs to try and break free from the oppressive force on her body.
The others were also shocked by this brutal scene, their faces turning ashen and their pupils constricting.
Just then, a heavy object was pushed aside, causing a slight tremor on the ground, accompanied by a rumbling sound of opening and closing.
Even from a considerable distance, the sound was clearly audible to everyone, and they could only assume that the "West Gate" had been pushed open.
"General—"
The Ye army's garrison commander and a group of guards came running hurriedly from the main street of Xida Street.
Yuwen Sheng looked up in confusion, only to see the Julu cavalry swarming in from behind, their arrows flying like locusts. The guards at the west gate, despite their desperate escape, were unable to reach the city lord's mansion in time; they were struck by arrows and fell to the ground, lifeless.
Immediately, he narrowed his eyelashes, his expression terrifying.
"Hehe, Yuwen Sheng, you won't keep winning forever!"
Blood was everywhere from his mouth, nose, and ears, yet Gongchenya still chuckled and mocked him.
Fu Rong, Wei Yao, and the others above had already climbed to the third floor of the City Lord's Mansion. From here, they could see the location of the West City Gate. The West City Gate, which had been tightly closed before, was now wide open. Mo Ye was leading his army, which numbered nearly ten thousand, and had completely blocked the city gate.
After dealing with all the resisting Ye army at the West Gate, Mo Ye rode his steed to the City Lord's Mansion. The long road leading there was dyed red by the Julu army, as vibrant as maple leaves.
"Mice really do know how to burrow!"
Wei Yao gritted her teeth and said.
Fu Rong said anxiously, "It's them! It must be them colluding with Mo Ye from the inside, otherwise Mo Ye couldn't have breached the West Gate so quickly."
"What did they do?" Wang Zebang couldn't see the connection.
He had been guarding the north gate and naturally didn't know, but Wei Yao was assigned by the general to conduct a thorough investigation of Fenggusha City and learned a lot of inside information.
Yuwen Sheng kicked Gongchen Ya aside, gently stroking the snow-white fox fur around his neck. He cherished this scarf immensely. His lips gleamed as he said, "This border city has built over a hundred cellars, filled with kerosene, and dug tunnels that extend all the way outside the city. It's truly remarkable. What tricks is your Julu Kingdom trying to play? Do you really think I don't know?"
