It sounds cruel, but this is the life Chu Xuan has been living these days, so when he came to Tongzhou this time, he had no intention of saving Wang Jiyang's life.

Wang Jiyang was tortured to the point of mental breakdown, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Kill me! Kill me!"

Chu Xuan sneered and said softly, "You want to die? That's easy. As long as you tell me how the food was printed on Tatuo without anyone noticing, I will agree to let you die quickly."

"I... I don't know!" Even at this point, Wang Jiyang still didn't intend to admit it.

Chu Xuan’s patience had run out, and the air around him suddenly became heavy.

At this moment, Lu Yanluo walked over slowly and stopped exactly at the edge of the snow.

"Wang Jiyang, do you think this matter can be resolved once you die?" Lu Yanluo chuckled and said, "This is a serious crime of treason. If you die, we can say that you are a spy of Tatuo, and no one will refute it anyway. Even though you will be dead by then, don't forget that your sister Wang Yueniang is still alive."

As soon as Lu Yanluo finished speaking, a loud cry of surprise came from the corridor not far away. The smile on Lu Yanluo's face became more and more obvious. She waved her hand, and naturally someone went over there to bring the person back.

"Let me go! I don't know anything, just let me go!" Wang Yue Niang struggled hard to escape.

"You...you are not allowed to touch her!" Wang Jiyang, who was already dying, raised his head and looked in the direction of Chu Xuan and Lu Yanluo, his eyes full of hatred.

Lu Yanluo shook her head: "You are the only one who can save Wang Yueniang. Wang Jiyang, if you die as a spy of the enemy country, your sister Wang Yueniang will definitely be killed. You have to think carefully about whether to tell the truth or not."

Wang Yue Niang shouted at Wang Jiyang anxiously: "Wang Jiyang! I'm telling you, I've suffered so much with you in this life, you must not harm me before I die, I'm your only sister in this world! Tell me, tell them what they're asking you!"

Wang Jiyang glanced at his sister, and after a long while he nodded: "I'll tell you everything."

[Well, as expected, although Wang Jiyang seems to be disgusted with Wang Yueniang, he actually still cares about his sister.]

[Otherwise, he wouldn't have come here to try to take Wang Yue Niang away at the critical moment of life and death. It seems that my bet was right this time.]

Chu Xuan turned sideways and looked at Lu Yanluo. The coldness in his eyes had long disappeared. At this moment, he was full of tenderness and his gaze was burning.

The two looked at each other and Lu Yanluo smiled back. Now was not the time to talk. They had to deal with Wang Jiyang first.

Since Wang Jiyang had already confessed, in order to prevent him from dying while talking, Chu Xuan ordered someone to call a military doctor to bandage his wounds. It was a quarter of an hour later when everything was settled.

Due to excessive blood loss, Wang Jiyang's face was as pale as paper and he was extremely weak. He was completely different from the self-righteous Wang Jiyang he first saw.

Wang Jiyang spoke with difficulty and told the story of the food and supplies being secretly replaced.

In fact, he was only responsible for helping Kong Chenyang deliver the grain to Wangjiazhuang near Tongzhou. After the grain was delivered, he didn't need to intervene as someone would come to take it away.

At first, Wang Jiyang thought that Kong Chenyang was reselling grain privately just to make money.

Unexpectedly, one day, just when Wang Jiyang's people had put down the food and were about to leave, a group of people suddenly appeared in the village.

Wang Jiyang's confidant recognized at a glance that these people were not from Tianji, but from Tatuo, who spoke fluent Tatuo dialect. He immediately became alert and secretly followed the group of people, and found that this group of people came to take food.

After returning, the confidant reported the matter to Wang Jiyang. Wang Jiyang immediately wrote to Kong Chenyang to ask for the reason, but did not receive a reply from Kong Chenyang.

However, no reply came, but food and grass from the capital were delivered in carts. At that time, Wang Jiyang knew that he could not turn back and could only grit his teeth and continue to work.

As for where the food and fodder came from, he had no idea. When the food and fodder was delivered, he would send people to add another layer of boxes to the food and fodder to conceal it from others.

Wangjiazhuang is only twenty miles away from Tianque Pass, and the food and grass were actually taken away there. It seems that he has to send someone to Wangjiazhuang to find out what's going on, for fear that there may be spies from Tatuo inside.

Now that everything is clear, Chu Xuan is not interested in wasting time on Wang Jiyang any more. A traitor deserves death. As he said before, he is here to settle accounts, not to investigate the case. He does not need evidence, he just wants Wang Jiyang's life.

In the main hall, Wang Yue Niang was locked in a corner, not daring to move. From time to time, she glanced at Lu Yanluo and Chu Chen out of the corner of her eyes. She couldn't figure out what was going on. It was just the time to change clothes. When she came back, she saw Wang Ji Yang being held up like a blood gourd.

She was frightened. Although she was smart and outgoing, she had never seen such a scene before. She could only hide in the corner. She never expected to hear her own name from these people.

In a panic, he revealed his hiding place.

She was scared and didn’t know how Wang Jiyang left and whether he was still alive.

While she was in a trance, a tall man suddenly walked in from the door. Wang Yue Niang remembered this man. It was he who tortured Wang Ji Yang with a knife.

Wang Yue Niang was so terrified that she wished she could hide herself.

Unexpectedly, Chu Xuan walked in without even looking at Wang Yue Niang. He walked straight to Lu Yanluo's side and smiled gently. He was completely different from the man with bloody hands before.

"Now that it's solved, let's set off back to Tianque Pass immediately." Chu Xuan said.

Wang Jiyang is dead and Tongzhou is leaderless. After much deliberation, Chu Xuan decides to leave Chu Chen here.

First, Tongzhou is the only way between the capital and Tianque Pass. Now there may be changes in the capital, and Chu Xuan must be on guard against sneak attacks from behind.

Second, the food and supplies from Tongzhou are important for supplying all the soldiers in Tianque Pass, and he can only feel at ease if he hands them over to Chu Chen.

So, after resting, Chu Xuan took Lu Yanluo and set out for Tianque Pass.

As the external threat has not been eliminated, they are very likely to be attacked from both sides, so they must fight quickly and drive away Tatuo's army.

After returning, Chu Xuan immediately sent people to Wangjiazhuang, only to find out that all the people in Wangjiazhuang were Tatuo people. After arresting them and interrogating them, he learned that this group of Tatuo people had fled here to escape the war, and simply settled here. Later, they became the spies and insiders of the Tatuo King on the Tianji border.

After asking, Chu Xuan learned that people from Tatuo would come here again in the near future. Chu Xuan pondered for a moment and made a decision.

He wants to give people a taste of their own medicine.
