Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Shunyi Main City, the Marshal's Residence.

Jun Wuxie stopped the carriage in the inner courtyard, and then carefully scanned the entire residence with his martial intent.

After confirming that there were no hidden formations here, he felt slightly relieved.

Yue Yao, Ji Yinlan, Lingfei, and Su Xiaoxiao stepped down from the carriage.

They looked at the environment here, and solely in terms of the environment, it was quite good.

This residence had a quiet environment, with a wide coverage of vegetation, and rare trees and flowers that were usually hard to see could be found everywhere.

"There are no formations, so we can rest assured about that."

Jun Wuxie said this, but he was very clear that Qin Shan must have a purpose and would not simply let Ji Yinlan come here to recuperate.

The fact that this residence was not set up with formations was probably because formations were easily detected, which would expose him.

Then, Qin Shan must have other means!

Jun Wuxie did not believe that this residence would be as calm as it appeared on the surface; there should be hidden dangers that were difficult to detect here.

"Wuxie, what exactly are you planning to do?"

Ji Yinlan had been thinking about this matter all along, but she could not think of any way to resolve it well.

Now, it was almost impossible to move to Qin Shan's place immediately without causing a mutiny among the soldiers and civilians.

"Don't ask."

Jun Wuxie shook his head, walked up to her, and said with a domineering look: "From now until I leave Shunyi, you must obediently listen to me and not object to my decisions at any time!"

"You…"

Ji Yinlan frowned slightly, stared at his domineering and unyielding gaze, and sighed: "The way you are, how can I put it?

No one dares to be so domineering in front of me except you.

If I don't agree, you will definitely get angry again…"

"This time, let me be domineering to the end!"

Jun Wuxie was very assertive; he had made a decision in his heart that no one could sway.

This matter was of great importance, related to the survival of this western border pass, related to Ji Yinlan's safety, related to the gateway of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and related to the future of hundreds of millions of Great Zhou citizens.

He didn't want to always be concerned about the matters here.

Only when he felt that the matters here were secure could he go to the ancient city in the Southern Region with peace of mind.

Last time, the emperor Ji Liufeng awarded him the glory of a national scholar, but he had not yet made any contribution to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This time, whether it was for Ji Yinlan, for the Great Zhou Dynasty, or to be worthy of the glory of a national scholar, he should do something.

He dragged Luo Mao, who was hanging behind the carriage, already unrecognizable, covered in blood, and on the verge of death, and the two rebel generals over.

"Speak, what arrangements do you have for your Xilin army?

What are your important strategic offensive targets on this western front?

How many soldiers and horses have you prepared, and what are their respective strengths?"

Jun Wuxie grabbed Luo Mao's blond hair, pulled his head back, and looked down at him coldly.

"Do you think I will tell you?"

Luo Mao sneered, his eyes provocative: "You can try to torture me with the most cruel methods in the world and see if you can get the information you want from me!"

Looking at the madness burning in Luo Mao's eyes, Jun Wuxie did not hesitate at all and slammed his palm on his head, killing him instantly.

With a cracking sound.

Luo Mao's bones shattered instantly, his soul was scattered, his eyes widened, and blood flowed from his seven orifices, and he died on the spot.

"Since I can't get any information from you, what's the use of keeping you?"

Jun Wuxie said indifferently, then looked at the two rebel generals who were shivering in fear and said: "Well, have you thought about it?"

"You…"

The two rebel generals swallowed their saliva and said: "What information do you want to get from us?"

"The situation of the Xilin army, and who else in this Shunyi City is colluding with Xilin?"

"How could we two know the situation of the Xilin army.

As for who else is colluding with Xilin, we don't know either.

The only thing we know about Xilin is Luo Mao, who was killed by you; no one else has ever contacted us!"

"You really don't know?"

Jun Wuxie stared into the eyes of the two rebel generals; could it be that the Xilin side was using single-line contact to co-opt Great Zhou generals?

"You don't know this, and you don't know that; what's the use of keeping you?"

Hearing this, the two rebel generals trembled instantly.

"In that case, how about I remind you."

Jun Wuxie narrowed his eyes and said: "I have verified that the City Lord of Shunyi, the Great General of the Western Garrison, is colluding with Xilin, trying to lead the Xilin army into the pass; would you say that's true or not?"

Hearing this, the two rebel generals' bodies shook violently.

"It seems I was right?"

The corners of Jun Wuxie's mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes became extremely cold.

"No, we don't know; how could the Great General collude with Xilin?"

The two rebel generals were shaking like sieves, their eyes full of fear.

Such a reaction falling into Jun Wuxie's eyes could not help but shock him greatly.

He originally just wanted to use the two rebel generals' fear of death to make them so-called witnesses.

Although this was a bit disgraceful, he had no other way now.

But he didn't expect that he had actually guessed correctly!

Judging from their reaction, they must know something!

"It seems that your Great General is indeed colluding with Xilin!

If you are willing to come forward and testify, telling the world that Qin Shan is colluding with Xilin, intending to betray the country, I will not kill you, how about it?"

The two rebel generals were silent, their bodies constantly trembling, their faces covered in cold sweat like rain.

"It seems you want to die?"

Jun Wuxie did not expect that these two cowardly guys would not express their position.

"We can only tell you that the Great General may indeed be colluding with Xilin.

This is what we discovered unintentionally; we saw him meeting with someone from afar, and that person seemed to be a Xilin expert lurking in Shunyi!

But if you want us to come forward and testify to the world, please forgive us for not being able to do it!

Even if you cut us into a thousand pieces, we will not agree!"

They suddenly became tough, gritting their teeth, their faces full of determination.

"What are you afraid of?"

Jun Wuxie saw a deep fear in their eyes.

It seemed that these two refused to testify for another reason.

"If we don't come forward, we will at most be tortured to death by you.

But once we come forward to testify, neither the Great General nor Xilin will let us go, nor will our families!"

"Besides, with the Great General's prestige, no one will believe what we say; on the contrary, we will be hated by all the soldiers and civilians of Shunyi.

At that time, even if our wives and children do not die at the hands of the Great General and Xilin, they will live a life worse than death!"

"Since that's the case, I won't force you."

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he turned to look at Lingfei in the distance and said: "Have you recorded everything with the rune memory stone?"

"Don't worry, Young Master; all the topics they talked about regarding Qin Shan, the scenes have been recorded."

"No! You can't do this; you can't do this!"

The two rebel generals collapsed instantly, hugging Jun Wuxie's feet and begging: "Please don't do this; you can't release the scene; please give our wives and children a way out!"

"Now you think of your wives and children?

When you decided to betray the country, did you think of your family?"

Jun Wuxie's eyes were very cold as he rebuked: "Did you think that by joining Xilin, you could get wealth and glory?

Think of the Xian Tu Kingdom, think of the other countries; what happened after they were captured by Xilin?

They are implementing genocide; wherever their iron cavalry goes, it is a land of death!

You two fools!"

"Please, please!"

They begged, crying bitterly.

"You are not worthy to beg me, and I am not qualified to forgive you on behalf of hundreds of millions of citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, in their painful and desperate eyes, he shattered their heads.

"They deserved to die; I hate this kind of traitor who betrays their country and nation the most!"

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the corpses on the ground with contempt.

At this time, Yue Yao, Ji Yinlan, and Lingfei came forward.

"I only knew that Qin Shan was ambitious, but I didn't expect that he would collude with Xilin!"

Ji Yinlan was still unable to calm down: "Qin Shan is such a shrewd person; how could he not see the purpose of the Xilin people?"

"No matter how smart a person is, as long as they don't know how to control the desires in their heart, there will always be times when they are devoured by desire and become ignorant."

Lingfei sighed, then took the rune memory stone and said to Jun Wuxie: "Young Master, when are you going to announce this scene?"

"Give the memory stone to Yinlan."

He shook his head and said: "Don't announce it for the time being; even if this scene is announced, it can't be considered solid evidence.

After all, the Mu Xi and Mu Yang brothers are already dead, and those people will say that there is no way to verify it.

Wait until there is other evidence in the future before announcing this evidence together.

And before announcing it, you need to find out whether their families know about their treasonous acts of defecting to the enemy; if they don't know, then let their families change their names and hide, stay away from their homeland, go to another place to live, and settle down before announcing it."

"Oh, I didn't expect that you, this bad guy, would also have such a soft heart, and even thought about the future of their families."

Su Xiaoxiao was a little surprised.

"Soft?"

Jun Wuxie was stunned for a moment, then said: "If they are innocent, then they should not pay the price for the mistakes made by the Mu Xi and Mu Yang brothers.

One thing is one thing, and things must be distinguished clearly."

Ji Yinlan was suddenly touched, gazing tenderly at Jun Wuxie and saying: "I like you, I really like you…"

Jun Wuxie was immediately stunned.

Yue Yao, Lingfei, and Su Xiaoxiao also instantly turned their gazes to her, the latter's face full of surprise, her eyes widened.

Ji Yinlan felt their gazes, only then did she realize that there were other people present, and she couldn't help but blush slightly, changing her words: "I really like your… kindness."

Jun Wuxie touched his chin.

Kindness?

He never felt that he was kind; he was just doing things according to his heart, without any guilt.

This was his principle, and also his bottom line!

Sometimes, he felt that he was actually very callous and ruthless.

When dealing with enemies, he believed he could even be described as cruel.

But how could he let innocent people pay the price for mistakes made by others for no reason at all?
