Of course, Qin Gong wouldn't let Xu Yanxiao do it herself. He couldn't let these thugs disgust her a second time.
He let the soldiers do the work.
Scalping the dead wasn't a big deal. After all, the body wouldn't move. But scalping a living person and castrating him was very exciting.
Coincidentally, the soldier who did it was a butcher before joining the army. He was good at skinning pigs.
The thug was scared out of his wits and kept begging for mercy. Seeing that begging for mercy didn't work, he cursed out loud, saying whatever he could.
Qin Gong was afraid that the thugs wouldn't listen to him, so he covered their mouths with cloth.
The knife-wielding soldier looked at Qin Gong, then looked at the 'pigs' in front of him who were tied up on the pillars to prevent them from moving.
He clicked his tongue and gestured where to start with the knife.
"Do you want to shave your head first?"
He asked his assistant in a low voice. The assistant thought for a while and frowned in disgust.
"Just do it. I don't know when was the last time they took a bath. The dandruff and oil on their hair are enough to cook a dish."
"Okay. Find a straw rope and tie his hair up. It's hard to find a place to wear it."
He used the knife to draw a circle along his hairline. A blood-red "chain" appeared. Scalping people was cruel. Qin Gong let them do it in the farmyard. Other than the soldier and his assistant, only Xu Yanxiao and him were left.
"If you feel disgusted, you can go out first. I'll watch for you."
A stern expression flashed across Xu Yanxiao's immature face as she hoarsely rejected Qin Gong's good intentions.
"No need. I want to see it with my own eyes."
The thugs passed out in pain, but it was convenient for the soldier to do it.
At first, he was a bit rusty. Halfway through, he obviously got the feeling and quickly scalped the thugs.
When the bloody scalp and hair were placed on a plate in front of Xu Yanxiao, she suddenly broke down and laughed hysterically.
The soldier asked Qin Gong with his eyes.
The scalp was already scalped. Was there a need to castrate him?
Qin Gong hugged Xu Yanxiao, who was out of control, and answered with his eyes.
Castrate!
The soldier's legs turned cold. It was a strange feeling to let a butcher castrate another man.
He was experienced in skinning. After all, he was a butcher. But castration was difficult.
He was not a professional.
Thinking of the thugs' evil deeds, the soldier could not feel the slightest sympathy.
Both of them were people who were about to die, so there was no need to care about anything else.
The soldier endured the disgust, pinched the dirty thing under the thug's body with one hand, and held the big knife used to kill people with the other. He pressed it against the root and cut.
The thug, who had passed out from the pain, woke up from the pain again. He screamed and passed out again.
"Bah —"
Caught off guard, the soldier was sprayed all over his body. He threw the food onto the plate in disgust.
How dare he show this thing to Commandant Qin?
The soldier looked at Qin Gong. Qin Gong looked at him and then at the meat on his plate. He couldn't help but feel disgusted.
"Feed it to the dogs —"
The soldier could not help feeling sorry for the stray dogs in the village.
Such a dirty thing, even a stray dog would find it smelly, right?
After removing one thug, there were still thirty or forty left.
Qin Gong wouldn't let Xu Yanxiao look at them one by one.
Every time he saw it, he would be stimulated. Wasn't this person stupid?
"This general promises you that every one of them will meet the same end. I ask Lady Xu to prioritize your own health and not to harm yourself."
Xu Yanxiao was indifferent, so Qin Gong could only bring up her mother.
"Lady Xu will still need to take care of the matriarch's funeral. Can you stand by and watch as she dies? "
He had learned these words from Cheng Yuan. Although he was suspected of plagiarism, it was fine as long as it worked.
To Xu Yanxiao, the legal wife was her weakness.
Qin Gong coaxed Xu Yanxiao away. The soldier holding the knife looked at him silently, his eyes asking —
Should we continue?
Qin Gong gritted his teeth. "Continue. Kill as many as you can. If you can't make it in time, remember to kill them so that they don't waste their lives. "
With more than ten thousand soldiers stationed here, they were practically moving landmarks.
The soldiers sent by Xu Bei weren't blind. They would definitely discover them.
If there was a need, they would have to carry out a strategic retreat. Time was tight.
The soldier received the order. "Yes."
Apart from Xu Yanxiao, Xu Fei's concubines had also survived. Each of them was battered and exhausted.
Qin Gong didn't have a good impression of them.
Moreover, he was a foreign official and had to avoid arousing suspicion. He couldn't get close to his old master's woman.
"Commandant Qin, the military advisor has sent this general to inform you that the heirs of Duke Wengong have been found."
They had been found, but they weren't alive.
Xu Fei had three sons and three daughters.
The eldest son was already nine years old, while the younger one hadn't stopped breastfeeding.
In the carriage, the thugs wanted to do something immoral to Xu Fei's concubines. The children cried incessantly, angering the thugs.
The nine-year-old child was beaten so hard that his sternum was shattered and his lungs were pierced.
The youngest child fell to his death. When they found him, his body was in a twisted position.
The middle child was thrown off the carriage halfway and died under the wheels of the carriage.
The three bastard sons were all dead.
Apart from Xu Yanxiao, the two concubine daughters were also on the verge of death. They had been humiliated by the thugs in the carriage and were half-dead. After that, they were even beaten viciously. The two children didn't wait for the military doctor before they breathed their last. Their little faces turned ashen and deathly still.
Yang Si looked at the two young girls and was silent for a while.
Although the female soldiers had tidied up and covered up their faces, their dark and twisted faces still dealt a heavy blow to him.
Scenes seemed to flash before his eyes. After a while, Yang Si said, "Prepare two coffins for them."
Dragging Xu Fei to death was within his and the lord's expectations, but …
Yang Si stopped himself from having dangerous thoughts. He got up and left, striding into the farmyard.
The soldier was still hard at work.
As the saying goes, "Practice makes perfect." His efficiency was much higher than before.
"Military advisor!"
Yang Si laughed. "You do it, I'll watch."
The soldier nodded in a daze.
Just as Qin Gong had predicted, Xu Bei's pursuers had discovered this place. However, they didn't dare to act blindly without thinking. Instead, they sent the news back to the main camp.
After Xu Bei heard this, he couldn't sit still.
"Does this mean that Qin Gong has already rescued Xu Fei?"
Thinking about this, Xu Bei couldn't help but feel pained.
Falling into such a situation, Xu Fei was still able to escape from despair and hitch a ride on Jiang Pengji's boat. Was he trying to make things difficult for him?
"I'm not sure about the specific situation."
They had only discovered traces of Qin Gong's troops, but they weren't sure if Xu Fei had been rescued by him.
Xu Bei held his forehead gloomily. Everyone under the tent looked at each other.
Someone suggested, "Why don't the lord send a messenger to test the waters?"
Wouldn't they know if Xu Fei had been rescued by just a little test?
As they spoke, hurried footsteps could be heard from outside.
Not only was there the sound of armors colliding, but there was also the sound of clothes rubbing against each other.
"My lord, military advisor Han requests an audience."
Xu Bei's eyes lit up. He hurriedly said, "Quickly invite Wenbin in."
Realizing that something was wrong, Han Yu rushed to the frontlines without stopping.
