Chapter 399 Humiliation

When He Wenjun saw this scene, he knew he had fallen into a trap.

He immediately glared at the first and third bosses, "How dare you lie to me?"

The first and third bosses hurriedly denied it in panic, "How could we have the guts to deceive the general?"

Unexpectedly, the second in command came out from behind Xie Zhuoning and the others and said meaningfully, "Big brother, third brother, your mission is completed. There is no need to play tricks with General He anymore."

The boss was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot. "Lai Lao Er, you are slandering me! You betrayed us a long time ago. You and them set up all this together!"

But even if he said so, He Wenjun refused to believe him. Taking advantage of the situation, He Wenjun snatched the weapon from the third in command's hand, intending to kill the two guys and then fight his way out.

As a result, as soon as he picked up the weapon, his wrist felt sore and weak, and the sword, which he did not hold tightly, hit the back of his foot, causing him to scream in pain.

"My Kung Fu... Where is my Kung Fu? What have you done to me!"

Xie Zhuoning opened her red lips and smiled softly, "It's nothing, I just put some medicine in your food."

"Impossible, there is no poison in the food!" He Wenjun looked incredulous.

It's not that he didn't pay attention to food, but he had been locked up for so long, it was impossible for him to starve to death without eating or drinking.

So he caught some mice and fed them the food, and only ate it when he saw that they were not poisoned to death.

Xie Zhuoning nodded, "Yes, it's not poisonous. I told you, it was medicine, not poison."

After all, He Wenjun is a powerful general. It would be okay to be cautious with him and give him some medicine that would make him lose all his internal strength, right?

He Wenjun was completely devastated when he heard these words. He was so angry that he started to curse, "You filthy bastards, if you have the guts, just fight me in a one-on-one duel. What's the point of using these sinister tactics?"

Xiao Jinxuan's brows darkened when he heard this, and he was about to get angry, but was stopped by Xie Zhuoning.

She glanced at He Wenjun coldly and raised the corners of her lips in a mocking manner, "What's the matter? General He can't stand this little grievance and wants to seek fairness and justice? But, are you worthy of it?"

"You eat the emperor's salary and share his worries, but you collude with Duke Zheng and Prince Yong to secretly commit treason. This is disloyalty!"

"As a general who defends his country, he should have protected the safety of the people, but he imposed heavy taxes, forced people to become bandits, and then killed people to claim credit. Such beastly behavior is both inhumane and unjust!"

"If we fight a disloyal, unkind and wicked person like you, we'll get our hands dirty!"

"Do you know why I only gave you medicine and not poison? Because it would be too easy for you to die like that. I will hang you on the wall, next to the bones of those who died in vain, so that you will be haunted by the wronged soul for the rest of your life. And let every Xichuan army that attacks the Green Forest Alliance see that their leaders and generals are the most humiliating and cruel. I will also remove your teeth and cut the tendons in your hands and feet, so that you can't die even if you want to!"

Xie Zhuoning has always paid the greatest respect to the soldiers who risked their lives to defend their country.

Because she had been at the border, she knew the hardships the soldiers had to endure, the cruelty of war, and the despair of death.

Many people say goodbye to their families. The good ones may see them again after a few years, but the bad ones may never see them again.

Even though she had been reborn for so long, she still couldn't find a suitable opportunity to meet her father.

That's why she hated people like He Wenjun and his men so much. The reputations those generals had worked so hard to build up were completely destroyed by these beasts!

"You, you, you!" He Wenjun was speechless and shouted with a red face, "I am an official appointed by the court, how dare you treat me like this!"

Xie Zhuoning sneered, "How dare you call yourself an official appointed by the imperial court? You are nothing more than a dog official. Oh no, calling you a dog official is insulting dogs. Dogs still know how to protect their homes when they are given food!"

"You, you, you!" After another round of running out of words, He Wenjun finally found a point to attack, "You are a woman, why don't you stay at home to take care of your husband and children? Why do you come out to make trouble? It's like a hen crowing at dawn, I don't know what you are talking about!"

Then he turned to Xiao Jinxuan and said, "You are a man of great stature, are you going to let a woman ride on your head and give you orders? That's too much of a disgrace!"

Seeing that he was not in the right, He Wenjun began to blatantly sow discord between the two.

Xiao Jinxuan said calmly: "A person's dignity and face are earned by himself. A strong person will only draw his sword to attack a stronger person, not to gain a sense of superiority by suppressing women. Aren't you dissatisfied?"

He raised his sleeves and blew away half of the roof of the dungeon next to him.

Such a nonchalant gesture and such a big commotion left everyone present dumbfounded.

Xiao Jinxuan lowered his eyes and asked him, "What about now?"

His body gradually went limp, and He Wenjun immediately understood the gap between the two of them.

The other party could have killed him with one blow, but he chose to spare his life.

It was as if they were telling him that they didn't even bother to kill him because it was dirty.

This is the greatest humiliation for a military general.

He was extremely ashamed, but still said stubbornly, "What kind of hero is it to fight alone? I have tens of millions of Xichuan troops, enough to crush the Green Forest Alliance in an instant!"

This guy is really interesting.

Feiyunwei cooperated well with him to catch him, and he said he wanted to fight him in a one-on-one duel if he could.

After realizing that he could not defeat Xiao Jinxuan, he began to rely on his own numbers.

Xie Zhuoning didn't waste any more words and directly asked Feiyun Guard to hang the man on the skull wall at the mountain gate as she said.

"Since your tens of millions of Xichuan troops are so powerful, let them crush the Green Forest Alliance and rescue you."

After she finished speaking, she paused, lowered her voice, and added meaningfully in his ear, "If they really want to rescue you."

As soon as these words were spoken, He Wenjun's face turned pale and lost all color in an instant.

It cannot be denied that he was a little too confident when he dared to go up the mountain alone before, thinking that there were only a few bandits and they were nothing to be afraid of.

But more importantly, it was because he had the Xichuan Army to support him.

But he had clearly given an order at that time, saying that if he did not come down the mountain at the hour of You, then he should attack up the mountain immediately. Why didn't he take action after so long?

It's not that he didn't have these doubts, but he didn't dare to take action because he was just thinking about himself falling into the hands of the enemy and his subordinates were worried about his safety.

But Xie Zhuoning's words forced him to think in the direction he least wanted to think -

Someone wants to seize power.

Not only those under his command, but also his ambitious sons.

That's why they didn't come to save him, because everyone was hoping he would die!

"No, I won't..."

"How dare they? How dare they!"

"It's a lie... it's all a lie..."

He Wenjun shook his head in confusion, gritted his teeth in anger, and was in self-doubt.

The look was so frightening that the hairs of the first and second in command stood on end.

They didn't hear what Xie Zhuoning said to He Wenjun in the last sentence, but being able to drive a person crazy with just words, this verbal sparring is even more frightening than real guns and swords!

"Oh, I forgot about you two."

Xie Zhuoning was yawning and was about to go back to rest with Xiao Jinxuan when he caught a glimpse of the first and third in command. He then asked the second in command to lock them up and wait for their punishment.

The second in command bowed respectfully and said, "Yes."

After saying this, he immediately led his men and took away the first and third in command.

Xiao Jinxuan was a little surprised, "He actually listens to you."

At first he thought that the second in command was the most cunning and might set many traps for them in secret.

Unexpectedly, in the end, while the eldest and the third brother were jumping up and down, it was the second brother who surrendered.

Xie Zhuoning smiled softly, "Because I made him a promise."

Xiao Jinxuan was curious, "You promised to spare his life?"

"No," she said, keeping it a secret. "When everything here is over, you will know."
