As long as Ning Cheng agreed to cooperate, what conditions would Jun Yi Xie not agree to?
Jun Yi Xie was actually prepared to give in. As long as Ning Cheng was willing to help him, he was even willing to split the world with Ning Cheng.
In his opinion, the reason why Ning Cheng hadn't betrayed Han Yunxi until now was only because he was worried that he wouldn't get the benefits he deserved from him. Not wanting the world and only wanting Han Yunxi was just bullshit!
A man naturally prioritized the world! What was a woman?
Jun Yi Xie's back was facing Ning Cheng, and a self-mocking sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. He didn't even know why he had fallen into Ning Cheng's trap and believed in that kind of nonsense!
Jun Yi Xie waited for Ning Cheng to state his conditions, but who knew that Ning Cheng would make a request that surprised him very much.
Ning Cheng said, "You want to cooperate with me and help me punish the first traitor of the Di Clan!"
Uncle Cheng, who was chained to the side, suddenly raised his head. "Master Ning …"
Jun Yi Xie was stunned at first, but then he turned around with a big laugh. He looked at Uncle Cheng and asked, "Him?"
"Yes." Ning Cheng lowered his eyes and looked at Uncle Cheng coldly.
He saw the shock in Uncle Cheng's eyes, the pleading in Uncle Cheng's eyes, and the fear in Uncle Cheng's eyes, but he was indifferent.
"Master Ning, this old servant is doing this for your own good! Master Ning, this old servant has worked hard even if I didn't make any contributions. You can't treat this old servant like this! Master Ning! "Uncle Cheng shouted.
Jun Yi Xie walked closer step by step and smiled. "But, to this prince … haha, he is a great contributor!"
"A traitor is a traitor. All reasons are excuses. Even if you render meritorious service, you can't use them again! "Ning Cheng said Coldly.
Jun Yi Xie naturally wanted Uncle Cheng to stay. With Uncle Cheng, a senior member of the Di Clan, he could at least provide him with a lot of internal information. However, just as he was about to persuade him, Ning Cheng looked up at him.
In the darkness, his single eye was suffused with an icy cold light, like a wolf waiting for an opportunity to strike in the night, causing people to fear him. Jun Yi Xie unconsciously stopped in his tracks.
"Jun Yixie, are you planning to work with him, or with this clan head? It seems like you haven't thought it through. Once you've made up your mind, you can talk to me again! "Even though Ning Cheng was imprisoned on the gallows, he was still high and mighty, looking down at Jun Yi Xie with disdain.
Although this sentence was for Jun Yi Xie to consider, it also cut off all room for consideration for Jun Yi Xie. If Jun Yi Xie hesitated even a little bit, Ning Cheng wouldn't work with him anymore.
A servant, no matter how capable or how much he knew, was still a servant in the end.
Jun Yi Xie laughed. "Ning Cheng, how do you want to punish him? This prince is willing to do it for you!"
"Master Ning! You can't do this to me! "
"Master Ning, this old servant has served you for more than twenty years. You can't do this to this old servant, you can't!"
"Master Ning, this old servant was wrong! This old servant knows that he was wrong. Master Ning, this old servant begs you, spare this old servant! Spare this old servant! "
… …
Uncle Cheng begged with all his might, instinctively struggling. The shackles on his hands and feet made crisp knocking sounds on the ground, which was especially loud in the dark and gloomy prison cell.
In the midst of Uncle Cheng's pleas, Ning Cheng expressionlessly announced his punishment.
Ning Cheng said, "Cut off the fingernails on his hands and feet."
As soon as he said this, Uncle Cheng's pleas stopped abruptly, revealing a terrified expression. Jun Yi Xie's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Ning Cheng, this brat, was indeed ruthless!
What Ning Cheng said wasn't an ordinary fingernail cutting, but finger cutting torture! This kind of torture didn't need any torture tools, only a sharp finger scissors.
"Men, tie him up for this prince!" Jun Yi Xie immediately ordered.
"No! Master Ning, spare my life! Spare my life! "
"This subordinate knows his mistake! This subordinate knows his mistake! Master Ning, this subordinate won't dare to do it again, I won't dare to do it again! "
… …
Uncle Cheng screamed at the top of his lungs. It was only at this time that he felt regret and fear.
Unfortunately, it was all too late.
Even if he had to give up everything, even if he had to give up his life, Ning Cheng wouldn't allow himself to betray him, let alone treat Uncle Cheng.
Leaving Uncle Cheng alive would only make things easier for Jun Yi Xie. Ning Cheng had long wanted to kill him. Uncle Cheng deserved to die, he deserved to die with his punishment!
Ning Cheng didn't even think that he could escape, so how could he leave Uncle Cheng alive?
The soldiers quickly tied Uncle Cheng to a wooden plank, securing his body, head, limbs, and even his palms and feet. Only the fingers on his hands and feet that couldn't move were exposed.
"So noisy, shut his mouth!" Jun Yi Xie was already in a bad mood, and Uncle Cheng's noise made him even more irritated.
Once Uncle Cheng's mouth was gagged, the small prison immediately quieted down.
The soldiers brought over an incomparably sharp finger scissors. Jun Yi Xie wouldn't do it himself, so he threw the nail scissors to the attendant beside him and ordered in a deep voice, "Serve him well!"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Cheng's eyes widened. He struggled, but it was a pity that even if he used all his strength, he couldn't break free from the ropes on his body.
The attendant knelt at his feet on one knee and pressed down on his thumb. The blade of the scissors pierced directly into the nail, all the way to the bottom!
Uncle Cheng was in so much pain that all the pores on his body opened up. He wanted to scream, but he couldn't. The attendant didn't stop there, and pulled out the blade of the scissors fiercely. Following that, he began to cut vertically along the fingernail into the flesh.
This wasn't a fake nail, it was clearly cutting off the entire nail!
The scissors cut into the flesh bit by bit, and the pain intensified. At first, it was relatively easy, but later on, when the scissors came into contact with the flesh and the fingernail, it wasn't so easy to cut. The attendant began to cut with force, and the blade directly pierced through the flesh and the fingernail, cutting through the entire nail.
Uncle Cheng was in so much pain that his eyes widened, and his whole body was filled with blood.
However, this was far from the most painful moment. Everything had just begun.
After the servant cut a crack in the thumbnail, he cut along the crack to the left and right. In the end, the entire thumbnail was cut off, leaving only a bloody mess.
This was only the first fingernail, there were still nineteen more!
The attendant didn't give Uncle Cheng any breathing room, and cut off the fingernails one by one. When the attendant cut off the last three toes, Uncle Cheng finally looked at Ning Cheng.
He widened his eyes and stared fixedly. There was no pleading, no resentment, nothing. He just stared fixedly.
Ning Cheng let him stare, expressionless.
When the attendant cut off all the toes and began to cut off the fingers, Uncle Cheng finally couldn't stand it anymore. He looked at Ning Cheng, and tears flowed out of his eyes.
Unfortunately, Ning Cheng was still indifferent, and didn't even say a word.
The ten fingers were connected to the heart, and cutting off fingernails was far more painful than cutting off toenails. Uncle Cheng was in so much pain that his whole body trembled, and tears streamed down his face.
Jun Yi Xie looked at this scene with great interest. Only today did he realize how cruel and ruthless Ning Cheng was. He felt a little regretful. If he had met Ning Cheng earlier, perhaps they wouldn't have come to this point. Perhaps, they would have cooperated long ago.
After the fingernails were cut off one by one, Uncle Cheng was in so much pain that he almost fainted. He lay on the torture board in a daze, and was in despair.
Jun Yi Xie lazily got up from his seat, and said with a smile, "Ning Cheng, the show is over. Let's talk about our cooperation, right?"
"I want to kill him myself!" Ning Cheng looked at the unconscious Uncle Cheng, and his eyes shot out a terrifying hatred.
Jun Yi Xie shrugged, and very generously said, "Of course."
With a glance, the soldier immediately stepped forward and released Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng looked around, as if looking for a weapon.
"Here, use this prince's sword!" Jun Yi Xie generously handed over the treasured sword.
Just how sincere was he to cooperate with Ning Cheng?
Ning Cheng walked over expressionlessly, took Jun Yi Xie's treasured sword, and turned to face Uncle Cheng.
Coldly, he said, "Damn it, you're going to die sooner or later."
With that, he suddenly pulled out his sword, turned around unexpectedly, and ruthlessly stabbed at Jun Yi Xie at lightning speed!
Jun Yi Xie was caught off guard, and subconsciously dodged. However, the secret room was so small, and his sword was a long sword, so he couldn't dodge at all.
In a flash, the blade tacitly connected with Jun Yi Xie's abdomen. Just as Ning Cheng was about to ruthlessly pierce through, the guards around him hurriedly pulled his hand. At the same time, Jun Yi Xie ruthlessly kicked away Ning Cheng!
All the guards surrounded him, forming a human wall in front of Jun Yi Xie. Ning Cheng fell beside Uncle Cheng. He knelt on one knee, pressing his hand on the sword to support himself.
Jun Yi Xie clutched his bleeding abdomen, his anger soaring to the sky. "Ning Cheng, you're courting death! You've let this prince down again and again! This prince will definitely make you pay the price! "
Ning Cheng's eyes were cold, and he didn't hesitate to attack with his sword. These days, he had probed Jun Yi Xie several times, and also asked Uncle Cheng several times.
Although he didn't know who took Ning Jing away, and he didn't even know if they were kidnapped or rescued. But he was very certain that Ning Jing and the others were no longer in Jun Yi Xie's hands. Jun Yi Xie also couldn't find them.
In other words, Jun Yi Xie only had him as a hostage.
Back in Heavenly River City, he was already prepared to die with Jun Yi Xie. If it wasn't for the northern expedition being delayed, perhaps he would have already sent his sword to Jun Yi Xie.
As long as he died, Jun Yi Xie would no longer have the capital to threaten the princess. Jun Yi Xie would lose for sure! Perhaps, if he died, the Di Clan would fall into chaos. But compared to the princess being threatened, he would rather have the Di Clan fall into chaos.
Since the Northern Li fell into chaos, whether it was Jun Yi Xie or the Northern Dynasties Emperors, they didn't have the strength to fight anymore. East Qin's army was enough for the northern expedition.
If the Di Clan fell into chaos, then let them fall into chaos! At least, in the years that he had been in charge of the Di Clan, as long as he was alive, the Di Clan had adhered to their rules, adhered to their mission, and never betrayed Western Qin.
At least, he could have a clear conscience!
The guards couldn't beat Ning Cheng, and Jun Yi Xie was heavily injured, so he couldn't fight back. The guards protected Jun Yi Xie as they retreated. The guards outside immediately rushed in to help, and the poison guards immediately surrounded the prison.
Very quickly, Ning Cheng charged out covered in blood. But, even if Ning Cheng could resist the guards, he couldn't resist the poison guards!
