Chapter 921: Battle Against Wu

When she saw Si Yun again, Shen Yijia almost did not recognize him.

It had only been ten days since he was captured, but he had already lost weight.

Her eyes were sunken, and her cheekbones were prominent. He was wearing a loose prison uniform, and his entire body emitted a dense aura of death. He no longer looked as ambitious and annoying as before.

His arms had been broken by Shen Yijia on the battlefield. Now, it seemed that his legs had also been broken. He was dragged in by two soldiers like a rag.

His hair was disheveled and dripping with water. It was not difficult to guess that someone had washed him before he was brought here.

Seeing Ji Luo, Si Yun’s pupils constricted, and he erupted with monstrous anger.

He opened his mouth to say something, but his mouth opened and closed. For a long time, he could not say a complete sentence. Instead, blood kept gushing out as his mouth opened and closed.

The soldier who brought him in explained, “We were worried that he would bite his tongue to commit suicide, so we cut off his tongue.”

In fact, it wasn’t just the tongue. Everyone broke Si Yun’s leg bones with a stick. They also pulled out the fingernails of his ten fingers and toes.

Every day, the wind and sun would blow, and the latrine attracted many mosquitoes. When his wound rotted and became pus, the military doctor would help him cut off the rotten flesh and give him top-notch ointment. He would definitely not die early.

They still remembered the scene of their companions killing each other, the heads of the nearly 100,000 soldiers they had personally beheaded, and how General Xiao had died tragically.

The culprit behind all of this was Si Yun. How could the soldiers let him off easily?

Everyone vented their anger on him. If not for the fact that they were afraid that he would not be able to hold on, everyone would have cut off his flesh bit by bit.

Since the soldier didn’t say anything, how could Ji Luo not think of it? She looked at Si Yun mockingly.

“You’ve been scheming all your life for those illusory things. Then did you expect this outcome?” She sneered. “I originally thought that since you’ve done so many evil things, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to test the medicine on you. However, seeing you end up like this, doing that would be akin to letting you off easy.”

Si Yun glared at her with bloodshot eyes filled with hatred.

However, Ji Luo was unwilling to say anything else. She waved his hand and instructed someone to bring him back.

Si Yun did not seem to expect her to do this. He was stunned for a moment and began to struggle violently. However, he was not even comparable to a child now. How could he break free from the grip of the two soldiers?

He was dragged away indignantly. This was the last time Shen Yijia and Ji Luo would see him.

Shen Yijia pursed her lips. “Mother…’

Ji Luo looked at her. “Do you want to ask if those people who were injured by the living dead can still be saved?”

Shen Yijia nodded. She wasn’t the only one who wanted to know. Her beautiful husband actually wanted to know too.

Ji Luo said, “Although they’re dead, they still have the ability to move. It’s not wrong to call them the living dead, but in the secret techniques of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets, they’re called Poison Puppets or Human Voodoo Dolls.” “So the men in black who entered Nanling Pass first are the Poison Puppets?”

“That’s right. Their entire bodies are covered in poison. The poison will enter other people’s bodies through their wounds and reproduce. When they mature, the infected will become new poisonous puppets.” Ji Luo said seriously,”

Since they were already dead, how could they be saved?

Shen Yijia felt her throat go dry. “Then… what if there’s spiritual liquid?” Ji Luo paused and patted her hand comfortingly. “The spiritual liquid can’t revive the dead.”

Shen Yijia heaved a sigh of relief. She wanted to ask something, but she saw a corner of his shirt from the corner of her eye. She stood up and called out, “Hubby.”

Song Jingchen walked in and greeted Ji Luo. He looked at Shen Yijia and said, “Sister Huan said that you and Mother came to the military camp.”

“Sister Huan is here too?” Shen Yijia asked.

“Yes, she and Liu Jinbao improved the black gunpowder. They said that it was your suggestion. Everyone is preparing to test it. Do you want to take a look?” Shen Yijia was stunned. Why didn’t she know what advice she had given?

Seeing her confusion, Song Jingchen asked, “Didn’t you mention the landmines to them?”

Shen Yijia’s eyes widened. “Landmines?”

She had mentioned it to them, but she had only said the word “landmine” and that it would explode if she stepped on it.

However, that was not the point.

Those two brats actually made landmines?

“Let’s go and take a look.” Shen Yijia pulled Song Jingchen away. She thought of something and paused. She turned around guiltily and looked at Ji Luo.. “Mother, do you want to go with us?”
