Even though her body was extremely weak, Wanxi still gritted her teeth and said.
"I never regret anything I do. Because you are such a piece of shit, if I crush you to death now, it's just like squeezing an ant to death! Do it!"
Following Liu Deng's order, several guards swarmed up and lifted Wanxi up.
"Your Majesty, calm down your anger! Although he is just a eunuch, he was sent by His Majesty to deliver the decree after all. Please spare him this time!"
Seeing the iron-thorn whips taken out by the soldiers, Jin Yizhuo, who was accompanying the escort, quickly knelt down in front of Liu Deng.
"What? Are you even here to point fingers in front of me?"
Liu Deng's face was terrifyingly gloomy.
Looking at the Jianzhang Army uniform that the guy was wearing, Liu Deng asked expressionlessly.
"The general doesn't dare! However, if he dies, it will be more or less a trouble for the king!"
Forced by Liu Deng's murderous aura, Jin Yizhuo felt as if his entire body was cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Do you think that this king is making a fuss out of a molehill and deliberately trying not to give His Majesty face?"
Liu Deng asked with a sneer.
"The general will not dare!"
Jin Yizhuo quickly lowered his head. Although he had never seen Liu Deng's performance on the battlefield, the murderous aura in him was enough to scare him now.
"For the sake of your Jianzhang Army uniform, where is Long Xiao?"
Liu Deng took a deep breath and then shouted.
"The general is here!"
Hearing Liu Deng's call, Long Xiao quickly knelt down on one knee in front of Liu Deng.
"Remove armor!"
Liu Deng ordered expressionlessly.
"Your Majesty..."
Long Xiao was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Liu Deng meant.
"Remove armor!"
Looking at his confused look, Liu Deng spoke again.
"promise!"
Although he didn't know what Liu Deng meant, he had already said this twice, so he didn't dare to delay anymore.
He quickly stood up and, with the help of the soldiers next to him, slowly took off his armor.
The weather in early spring was still a bit cold. After taking off his armor, he couldn't help but shiver.
"Take it off again!"
But Liu Deng didn't seem to let him go. Even though there was only a close-fitting silk dress left on him, Liu Deng still spoke again.
"promise!"
Although it was in full view of the public, Long Xiao still obeyed the military order and took off his clothes again.
"hiss--"
His clothes had just been taken off, and everyone present couldn't help but gasp.
There was almost no good skin left on Long Xiao's body. His back was covered with bruises, and the centipede-like wound on his left shoulder now looked even more ferocious.
On his chest, several arrow wounds were more conspicuous. The most dangerous one was less than a finger away from his heart.
"I ask you, where does this scar come from?"
Liu Deng's eyes were red and he pointed the riding crop in his hand at the arrow wound closest to Long Xiao's heart.
"Report to your Majesty! Three years ago, the Huns invaded. General Cheng followed General Cheng to defend Yanmen. Thanks to the Huns!"
"What was the result?"
Liu Deng's voice was still so cold, without any emotion.
"The last general was just a soldier at that time. He shot and killed three people, but he was promoted to captain by General Cheng!"
Long Xiao seemed to be back on the battlefield, and replied with red eyes.
"Where did this path come from?"
Liu Deng pointed at the injury on Long Xiao's shoulder again.
"Reporting to your Majesty, this is the great victory at Yinshan. The last general led 10,000 cavalry and rushed into the Huns' formation. Thanks to the Huns!"
Having said this, tears were already welling up in Long Xiao's eyes.
"What was the result?"
"Your Majesty..."
Long Xiao could no longer hold back the pain in his heart, and started to cry a little.
"What was the result?"
Liu Deng asked again.
"Reporting back to your Majesty, the last general led an army of 10,000 people and charged forward with light cavalry. He killed and wounded 6,000 people, killed 30,000 enemies, and held back 200,000 Huns for three hours!"
While Long Xiao was talking, big tears kept flowing down.
After this battle, out of the 10,000 elite cavalry, less than 4,000 returned in the end. Even those who came back, almost all of them were injured. How could outsiders know how brutal it was.
"Stand up straight!"
Looking at Long Xiao's stooped body, Liu Deng shouted again, his eyes full of hatred.
"promise!"
Long Xiao shouted loudly and straightened his body.
"I ask you, if the Huns attack again, will you be able to fight again?"
Liu Deng gasped and asked again with red eyes.
"The last general asks for a fight! If the barbarians come again, the last general is willing to be the king's vanguard. The barbarians will not be destroyed, and the last general will not turn around until he dies!"
Although Long Xiao's tears were still flowing, his body remained upright.
The people who were watching had already wet their clothes with tears. Even Jin Yizhuo did not dare to speak out at this moment.
"This! This is my big man's soldiers, this is the backbone of my big man! The great victory at Yinshan, that is my big man's 100,000 loyal souls, 250,000 soldiers paid for their lives! You are just a small internal prisoner, what's the point? You are qualified to point fingers at them!”
Liu Deng's voice was deafening, and he stared at Wanxi who was hanging on the city gate.
The people who were watching looked at Wanxi with eyes filled with hatred.
"May I have your name?"
While Liu Deng was talking, he took off his cloak and put it on Long Xiao.
"Report to your Majesty, the last general, Jin Yizhuo, is just a small captain in the Jianzhang Army!"
As Jin Yizhuo spoke, he quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
How dare he speak for Wan Xi at this time? With Liu Deng's attitude just now, he was really afraid that Liu Deng would kill him in anger.
He is also a soldier himself. Looking at the scars on Long Xiao's body and listening to the results of the battle reported by Long Xiao, he naturally knows how difficult it is to do what Long Xiao said.
How could a eunuch easily humiliate such a person...
"You go back and tell Your Majesty that I was the one who beat him. If Your Majesty complains, just take off my head! But as long as I am still breathing, whoever dares to touch these meritorious soldiers, then don't blame me." The king will fight him tooth and nail!"
As Liu Deng spoke, he took out the sword from his waist, stabbed Wanxi directly in the chest with a backhand sword.
"Tick tock, tick tock..."
Listening to the sound of blood dripping, Jin Yizhuo felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his mouth.
This was the messenger sent by the emperor, and Liu Deng didn't even give him a chance to speak, so he was stabbed to death with a sword!
"promise!"
After taking a few deep breaths, Jin Yizhuo responded quickly.
"let's go!"
Looking at Jin Yizhuo's lowered head, Liu Deng finally got on his horse with satisfaction and headed into the distance.
