When Zhu Jiu woke up again, he was woken up by a basin of cold water.

She took a deep breath, and the cold air stung her lungs. She clearly felt that several ribs were broken, which were broken by Xuanyuan Che's powerful internal force.

Suddenly opening her eyes, she saw the iron bars of the prison in front of her. Behind the iron bars, in the firelight, she saw the sinister features of the young man.

He sat upright on the throne, with his long legs open under his mysterious robe, leaning sideways, his fingers bent inward to support his temples, and the violent aura emanating from his body seemed to be capable of destroying the world.

The sound of whipping, the collision of braziers and irons, and the screams of slaves rang in the ears one after another, making the emperor more like a Shura from hell.

Zhu Jiu looked at him calmly, but at a certain moment, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, laughing mockingly.

She has never had the habit of adding insult to injury and looking at other people's jokes. Even when facing defeated enemies, she will give them the final respect.

Perhaps in the past, the outcome of most people was in her hands, so she didn't have to, and didn't even bother to do those little humiliating things.

For her, this is a waste of time.

But at this moment, facing Xuanyuan Che, she suddenly felt a little sarcastic: "How do you feel when you see Zhu Jiu's body turned to ashes with your own eyes?"

The young man's already cold gaze added to the chill. He lowered his supporting hand and lightly commanded: "Pull out her tongue."

Li Chunyue reminded from the side: "Your Majesty, we haven't interrogated you yet, this..."

Xuanyuan Che looked at her coldly: "A Yan country is so meticulous that she is too lazy to bother with her, so she just executes her."

Li Chunyue sighed helplessly and stopped persuading him.

Someone opened the iron cage and dragged her to Xuanyuan Che like a trapped animal about to die.

Zhu Jiu had exhausted all his strength and fell to the ground like mud. His broken bones could no longer support him from standing up.

She recalled how she would rather die than kneel before she died, but now she had no strength to move her fingertips.

A feeling of helplessness and frustration came over me.

She held on and still looked at Xuanyuan Che forcefully: "Not everyone, everything is in your plan. Is the fire still a surprise? Little brat."

She sneered, her slightly open eyebrows showing the pleasure of revenge.

Xuanyuan Che was successfully angered, and with a wave of his hand, his internal force flew the brazier and hit Zhu Jiu directly on the face.

Zhu Jiu couldn't hide at all, and subconsciously used her arms to protect her face. The brazier hit her back, and several red-hot coals splashed out and scattered on her back and legs. The burning smell spread quickly.

"Tongue removal, bone removal, and cannon burning, do it all on her body!" Xuanyuan Che's tone was solemn, as if he was about to break a mouthful of silver teeth when he spoke.

Zhu Jiu was dragged up and tied to a shelf. Someone came forward with a torture instrument, a sharp knife.

"That's all you can do." She sneered, looking at him with contempt as if he were looking at a child who was acting recklessly and without any deterrent power, but it was obvious that she was the one being threatened.

Xuanyuan Che stood up from his high position and walked over, stopping right in front of her. The young man's eyebrows were cold and he smiled fiercely: "You want to die, don't you? I won't let you go. If I want you to live, it would be better to die!"

As he spoke, he lost consciousness for a moment.

Looking closer, he actually recognized this trickster who was seeking death as Zhu Jiu.

That look in his eyes, that aura that could suppress people without even thinking about it, was exactly the same as Zhu Jiu's.

Xuanyi's hands behind the armor clenched. He hated himself for having such thoughts, and ordered in a cold voice: "Do it!"

"Make my life worse than death?" Zhu Jiu looked at him with stern black eyes and a smile on his lips: "Are you sure you won't kill me?"

"Killing you would be too cheap for you."

"If you don't kill me, sooner or later I will kill you. I will kill you just like you killed the people of Yan State. I will make your death even more miserable than Zhu Jiu's. You will be covered with arrows and die.

Without a complete corpse, you will become the emperor with the shortest reign in Yuzhou Continent!"

Xuanyuan Che stared at her blankly, his eyes full of disbelief.

Once upon a time, the twelve-year-old boy let go of the same harsh words with this attitude.

"Zhu Jiu, if you can, kill me. If you don't kill me, sooner or later I will kill you!"

"I'll kill you like you shot those prisoners of war!"

"I will make you covered with arrows!"

"Let you die without any body!"

"You, the goddess of war, just wait to become a female bear in Yuzhou!"

At that time, the young man was full of resentment and hated her so much that he said these words with the determination to die.

But she was not angered. Instead, she smiled and touched his head: "This child is interesting and wants to die. But I don't want to kill children, women and children. Why don't you come back with me and become my slave?" The general wants you to know that life is worse than death."

At the end of the memory, all that is left is the hearty laughter of the woman in red.

Later, when he thought back on these harsh words, he felt ashamed and at the same time felt that he was overestimating his own abilities.

Zhu Jiu was already very powerful at that time, and crushing him would be like crushing an ant.

But she didn't kill him...

Therefore, no matter how bad a good person you are, you will not die by your own hands in the end.

At this time, Zhu Jiu's teeth had been pried open, and someone reached her mouth with iron pliers, trying to take out her tongue and cut it off.

"stop."

The young man opened his mouth. He had too many doubts and was eager to seek confirmation.

He walked forward quickly, looked into her dark eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, stretched out his hand, traced it from her forehead, and finally stopped at her chin.

He suddenly grabbed her mandible, his throat rolled, and his voice trembled slightly: "Know Zhu Jiu?"

The smile in Zhu Jiu's eyes deepened and she did not answer him.

"There is also ventriloquist and horse training, how can you do it?"

"..."

"You know how to use the Moon Shadow Bow without a teacher, so you can use it smoothly. Who taught you archery?"

"..."

"Answer Gu!"

"..."

Xuanyuan Che laughed angrily and shook off the hand holding her jaw: "You can't speak, right? Come here, break her teeth into pieces first, and then pull out her tongue."

Zhu Jiu stared at him coldly, and at a moment suddenly burst into a meaningful smile.

"Guess?" She finally spoke, but with teasing and amusement: "Why do I do this?"

Horse training ventriloquism Zhu Jiu created it himself, and not everyone can learn the vocal skills.

The Moon Shadow Bow was also made by Zhu Jiu himself. If you want to fully draw the bow string, you must rely on long-term tacit understanding with the Moon Shadow Bow.

And she made Zhu Jiu's unique skills so handy that she seemed to be born with these two abilities.

Xuanyuan Che knew that she was not Zhu Jiu, and this was not a coincidence.

The only explanation is that this person was someone Zhu Jiu once trusted, someone he trusted enough to allow Zhu Jiu to impart his skills to him without hesitation, and even to protect him from the eyes of all parties.

Thinking of this, the ends of Xuanyuan Che's eyes gradually turned scarlet, and anger condensed in his eyes.

Just as he was about to attack, the sound of hurried footsteps stopped behind him, and the deputy general in armor knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent message from Grand Master Rong."

Xuanyuan Che glanced over coldly: "Say!"

"Master Rong said that Tuoba Ye left the city against orders and injured several guards. The details that appeared in the camp may be related to her."
