Chapter 209 The Sun Is Dead, Only Years and Months Remain (8000)

"No, sir!"

The girl who had just spoken heard this and immediately used her hands and feet to crawl in front of Zhu Shan, holding Zhu Shan's legs with her hands, crying and shouting, her voice hoarse.

Not only her, but also other women had the same expression, with fear and deep despair.

They were naked, and some of the timid ones even fainted.

There was a sound of wheels rolling on the ground, and soon, two soldiers pushed a cart and stopped in the middle of the campfire.

On the cart was a net made of iron chains.

The soldier threw the iron net, and the iron net immediately spread out, more than ten meters long.

Zhu Shan kicked the woman away, curled his lips, and said with disdain: "You are a lowly person from the Great Chu State, how dare you touch my armor, get out!"

The woman was kicked away and rolled several times before she got up from the ground with difficulty.

Zhu Shan ignored the woman and pointed at the iron net on the ground. His face showed an excited light and he said, "Don't you want me to let you go? I promised, but you must pay a price."

"See these things? As long as you roll back and forth ten times, I will let you go."

There are spikes less than an inch long on the iron net.

These spikes are very short and small. If you roll on them once, you will not be killed. But if you roll ten times, how can human flesh be easily broken?

The pain is obvious. There are dense spikes on it. After rolling ten times, it becomes a sieve.

After seeing the iron net and the spikes on it, the group of women hugged each other, and everyone had fear on their faces.

They are just ordinary rural women. They just live in a small village on the border and have never participated in the disputes between the two countries.

They are the people of the Great Chu State, but they have always been honest people.

I never thought that after being caught, I would face such an ending.

"Perhaps, death is a real relief."

Some women, thinking of the dead people in the same village, couldn't help but envy them.

The girl who spoke at the beginning couldn't help it at all, stood up from the crowd and pointed at Zhu Shan.

"You are not human, you are beasts!"

"I have heard that some of you were also caught by the Great Chu State, but they didn't commit such atrocities."

"Even after asking the reason clearly, they would let people go, but why do you do this to us?"

Now it is a foregone conclusion, they can't escape, and the girl doesn't know why, but she burst out with desperate courage, wanting to scold before she dies to relieve the hatred in her heart.

"You?" Zhu Shan didn't expect that this woman still had courage.

"Every country is different. You, the Great Chu, still have to abide by those strict rules, but we don't. In our eyes, you are no different from animals."

"If you fall into the hands of the barbarians, it won't be so easy. Have you ever tasted the feeling of having your skin and flesh cut off one by one, and then watching others eat it?"

As he spoke, Zhu Shan's expression became more gloomy.

"It's up to you to get out or not. If you get out, I'll let you go."

"I'll only give you one incense stick of time. Come on, put the incense in. I'm a man of my words. If I say one incense stick, it's one incense stick."

Two soldiers walked to the front and stuck the incense in the ground.

There was green smoke floating on the incense, but in the eyes of these women, the smoke was like a deadly poison, which was eating away their spirits step by step.

Everyone's face showed hesitation and hesitation.

"Will they really let us go?"

"If it's just ten rounds, it will be painful at most, but no one will die."

Gusts of wind blew, bringing coldness.

The women, who were half-dressed, had goose bumps and shivered together.

The scene became quiet. Obviously, they were thinking, pondering, and wondering what to do next.

The time of a stick of incense is not long, but it is not short either.

If you sit in one place bored, you will feel that time is very slow, but when life and death are in front of you, in the blink of an eye, the stick of incense burns incredibly fast.

"There is not much time left for you. This general really wants to see whether you want to live or die?" Zhu Shan put his hands behind his back, but he could not hide the excitement on his face.

In his opinion, this is a very normal thing.

Playing with the lowly people of the Great Chu State is a rule handed down in the army, and almost everyone does it.

Sometimes Zhu Shan thinks that if the Great Yue State also has strict military discipline like the Great Chu State, he will probably have less fun.

The incense is still burning, and the green smoke floats into the black night sky.

In the darkness far away from the military camp, Xu Bai changed his body shape and used his soul to sense what was happening.

His eyes were calm, but in the calmness, there was a terrifying depth, which was an overwhelming murderous aura.

"Huh..."

With a long sigh, Xu Bai raised his foot and walked towards the military camp. With each step, he crossed a great distance.

He walked steadily with each step, without a knife in his hand, but his murderous aura did not diminish at all.

Tonight, he had come here a long time ago, just to kill people.

After seeing that scene on the street in the morning, he felt that he finally had a feeling of traveling through time.

This made him finally see the extreme cruelty of this world.

In the Great Chu State, the rules in all aspects are very strict, and King Shengyou made everyone in the army abide by the rules, so this kind of thing did not happen.

But here, these things are commonplace.

Especially the piles of corpses in the morning, and the various dense scars on the corpses, it is obvious that the group of female corpses were really thrown into the beggars' den when they were alive.

Xu Bai felt that he had never been a particularly kind person, but sometimes, there were some things that really could not be tolerated.

Pity, or something else.

In short, Xu Bai wanted to kill people tonight, especially just now, after his soul felt Zhu Shan's actions.

This group of people who look like people on the surface have actually been psychologically twisted for a long time.

He has already thought of countermeasures and methods, and even today's action can make it easier for him to get the first-class information.

Can a dead soldier have enough weight to get the first-class information?

Xu Bai doesn't know whether it is stable or not, but he thinks that he can add another one.

Kill these bastards, let the people in the photo studio find a scapegoat, and add the dead soldier, so that together, it will be really stable.

As for whether the photo studio will help or not, it will definitely help.

Just as Yingyue said before, this is their only chance this time, after all, they have really penetrated into the dark building.

So they will never give up easily, and they will even clear all traces for themselves in order to keep themselves safe.

"I can let the photo studio and the dark building fight each other, and I can get the first-class information from it, and I can kill these bastards. It's really killing three birds with one stone."

Thinking in his heart, Xu Bai has already approached the military camp.

Under the induction of his soul, Xu Bai sensed several of the secret guards.

After all, this place is not far from the border, and with the border there, the defense of this place is even more loose.

After all, the Great Chu Kingdom and the Barbarians cannot even come to the border, so their tight defense is useless.

Unless the border is broken, the soldiers at the border will return to Luofeng City for defense, that is when it will be truly tight.

Of course, necessary precautions are still necessary.

After Xu Bai sensed it, he was about to clear these secret guards.

But unexpectedly, under the induction of his soul, another scene appeared.

Black shadows suddenly appeared under the feet of those secret guards, like black ropes, and then circled around the secret guards.

Soon, these secret guards lost their lives.

Black shadows?

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows and had already guessed.

Things related to shadows are likely to be Yingyue.

At the beginning, the few times Yingyue met him, they all came out of the shadows.

Thinking of this, he found that next to the last dead sentry, in the black shadow, Yingyue slowly emerged.

"It's her, this woman, why can't I see through her?"

Xu Bai originally planned to take action immediately, but now, he didn't plan to do it.

After Yingyue appeared, he said, "Beast, die well!"

At this moment, it was very close to the military camp, so Yingyue's voice was very small to avoid being discovered.

After cursing inwardly, he put his hands on the ground.

The next moment, from the position of Yingyue's palm, the shadow kept interlacing between her hands, and soon spread along her palm towards the direction of the military camp.

"Since I can't help you, and I can't rescue you, then let you go happily." Yingyue muttered to herself.

Go happily?

After hearing this, Xu Bai, who was hiding in the dark, reacted and knew what Yingyue wanted to do.

Even if he took action and saved these people, what else could he do?

Could it be possible to take these people out of the border?

It's very troublesome and dangerous.

What Yingyue did was to kill these women directly, so that they would no longer suffer and at least retain a trace of dignity before they died.

In Xu Bai's opinion, what Zhu Shan said to those women before, that they would be free after rolling over the iron spikes that were more than ten meters long, was actually just a ridiculous statement.

The corpses piled on the cart told him that these guys would never let anyone leave alive.

"This woman always feels a little strange, and she has too much compassion."

"What's the reason? Is there something hidden?"

Xu Bai originally planned to take action, but he didn't take action for the time being, but he was thinking in his heart.

Yingyue is from Daiyue, and a spy of Yinglou. Why would she want to save these captured women at this time?

No matter where you look at it, it doesn't make sense.

Before on the street, Xu Bai could think that this woman had too much sympathy and compassion, but now it seems a bit too much.

"Let's wait and see." Xu Bai thought to himself.

He also wanted to kill these people, but now the situation has changed.

The black shadow spread forward silently, and in the blink of an eye, it was in the military camp, and no one noticed.

Even if it was Xu Bai, if he didn't spread his soul, he would find it difficult to find this shadow.

After the shadow entered the military camp, it quietly entered the shadow of one of the soldiers, and moved around in the shadows, and the people around couldn't see it clearly.

At this time, Zhu Shan was still there, patiently waiting for the group of women to make a decision.

He liked this feeling very much, holding the life and death of others in his own hands, as long as he said a word, these people were willing to do it, this feeling greatly satisfied his abnormal psychology.

"The untouchables must have the consciousness of being untouchables."

"The Great Chu Kingdom was only established by chance after the collapse of the Great Wind Kingdom. How dare you talk about strict military discipline?"

"It's just a bunch of chickens and dogs."

Zhu Shan's smile grew deeper and deeper. He even imagined these women as the emperor of the Great Chu Kingdom. His perverted mentality became more and more profound.

A woman walked out of the crowd, with fear on her face, trembling as she pointed at the spikes on the iron net.

"I... I'm willing to roll."

Thinking of the torture suffered by the women in the same village this morning, the woman felt that the physical pain might be lighter.

With the first person standing up, people stood up one after another.

Soon, the group of timid women expressed their willingness to roll on it.

If you roll back and forth ten times on the ten-meter iron net and iron spikes, I'm afraid there won't be much flesh left on your body, but it's better than suffering that kind of torture.

Zhu Shan smiled disdainfully: "Go, start with you."

As he said this, the woman who spoke first bit her lips tightly, tremblingly came to the iron net, and was about to squat down.

The iron spikes in front of her were cold, and people felt their hearts tremble at a glance.

The woman took a deep breath and was about to roll over.

At this moment, the shadow hidden in the dark finally moved, turning into countless spikes, sweeping towards those women.

Yingyue, who was hiding in the dark, gritted her teeth, and showed reluctance in her eyes.

"Even if you roll over those spikes, they will not let you go, and you will suffer more torture. Why don't I just give you a quick death."

She has been here for a long time and understands that these Daiyue soldiers who are like livestock will not care if you are covered in blood. After rolling, you will still suffer that kind of horrible torture.

So, instead of letting these women suffer, it is better to give them a quick death.

The shadow thorns were cold and were about to touch the group of women.

But at this moment, a white light suddenly lit up around, illuminating the entire military camp.

"Hehe... I knew you would come again, so I waited here specially."

Zhu Shan looked at the shadow thorn in front of him and smiled.

As the white light illuminated, the shadow thorn had nowhere to hide and disappeared in an instant.

"Shadow controller, hehe, when everything is covered by the light, without shadow, you have nothing."

In Zhu Shan's hand, he held a fist-sized gem, and the light shone from the gem.

"That direction, chase!"

Zhu Shan pointed to the position where Yingyue was hiding and shouted.

The soldiers around seemed to have been prepared for a long time, raising their weapons and rushing directly to Yingyue's position.

Once the military formation was opened, one step out was like a distance of dozens or hundreds of steps.

Yingyue was hiding in the dark, and seeing this scene, he gritted his teeth and moved his lips slightly.

"Go and save them. If you can't, just kill them. It's better to give them a quick death than to suffer endless torture."

Yingyue turned around and fled to a place.

Xu Bai: "..."

He knew very well who he was talking to.

"Although this woman's combat power is not very good, her special ability is extremely powerful. She was able to find me here."

He understood why Yingyue did these things just now.

This woman must have discovered her a long time ago and did it in front of her.

If she succeeded and killed those women who were half-dressed, it would be fine. If she failed, she would let Xu Bai help her.

"Well... how many times has this happened? I'll settle accounts with you later." Xu Bai said in his heart.

In the military camp.

The soldiers basically went to chase Yingyue. Only more than ten people were left in the military camp to guard here.

The women didn't dare to move at all. Even though there were only more than ten people here, everyone held a terrifying weapon in their hands.

One of the soldiers licked his lips: "The general has gone after that guy, why don't we catch one first and enjoy it."

Another soldier said: "Why only catch one? We can divide them up, the general doesn't care about these."

"Hey, what do you know, let one be constantly beaten by ten of us... that will make them desperate?"

"I see, you are still good at playing these tricks."

The soldiers laughed, their eyes wandered over the group of women, and finally found the most beautiful one and walked slowly forward.

The women hugged each other and retreated quickly.

"What do you want to do? We promised to roll over the iron net. You said that you would let us go as long as we roll over the iron net."

"Let us go?" The soldier said disdainfully: "Do you really think you will let us go? You are too optimistic."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present turned pale.

A woman was pulled out by a soldier and was about to start undressing.

The woman struggled frantically, but it was useless. She had little strength at all.

Her face was filled with despair, and she closed her eyes, as if she had accepted her fate.

"More than ten people... Who can come and save me?"

The despair in her heart was gradually spreading.

At this moment, there was a cry of surprise from the scene, and she found that the strength in her hands was gone, and after the cry, there was silence.

The woman couldn't help but open her eyes, and saw the heads of more than ten soldiers in front of her fell to the ground, rolling around, their eyes wide open, and they were still in pain before they died.

Behind the headless corpse, a man with ordinary looks and ordinary clothes was walking slowly.

"You... you..."

The woman didn't know what to say, but just kept repeating it, and was stunned by the scene in front of her.

Xu Bai said lightly: "Come out."

Just such a simple sentence, but it was not said to the people present, but looked at a certain place.

The shadow twisted, and soon, Yingyue walked out of it. Before she could speak, she was strangled by Xu Bai.

"What a good plan, worthy of being a studio." Xu Bai said slowly with murderous intent in his eyes.

"First, you showed up on purpose, then acted like you were going to kill these women, giving them a quick death, actually just to show me."

"The purpose of doing this is to make me believe that you have escaped, right?"

"Then you quietly hide aside to see if I have any flaws, so as to guess my true identity."

With every word, Yingyue's face turned a little paler.

Xu Bai couldn't figure it out, and the thing he couldn't figure out the most was why it was such a coincidence today.

Later, he changed his approach. If he took everything as the center of the circle, then these things would become very normal.

Yingyue deliberately wanted to kill these women in front of Xu Bai, and whispered that he wanted to give these women a quick death.

To put it simply, all this was performed for Xu Bai to create a sense of reality.

After all, the place we are in now is Dai Viet, and it is impossible to take these women away from the border.

So it is better to kill them directly.

This sense of reality will make Xu Bai believe in Yingyue, that is, now.

Yingyue did not actually leave, or the one who left was not Yingyue.

"Being able to control shadows, that thing is related to shadows, right?" Xu Bai said with a smile.

Although he was smiling, there was a murderous look on his face.

Yingyue shuddered, and she had no doubt that if she answered too late, the head on her neck would be gone.

"You let me knock them all out, and I tell you, what happens next must not be known to others."

Xu Bai did not let go, but tilted his head, meaning that you do it yourself.

Yingyue controlled the shadows and covered the group of women. The women rolled their eyes and fainted directly on the ground.

Then, Yingyue raised his right hand and hammered on his chest.

Ordinary.

"The spy of the Tianshi Division, Yingyue."

A faint sentence came out of Yingyue's mouth.

Xu Bai was stunned, but soon recovered: "What do you mean?"

"It's not a coincidence that I met you. How could we meet by chance when we first met? Think about it carefully." Yingyue continued.

Xu Bai let go of his hand and frowned.

In his mind, he kept reconciling the situation when he first met Yingyue.

The first time was when he killed the spy in the dark building at that time.

If you go through it carefully, you will find that it was too coincidental.

"I am the daughter of General Manager Mu." Yingyue said again: "He asked me to do all this. He deliberately asked me to meet you, and he said that you can get the news of Class A."

General Manager Mu?

When these three words came out, Xu Bai stared at Yingyue.

"I can't judge whether what you said is true or not."

"But there is a way to be sure. Let me control the soul."

Xu Bai knew that Yingyue could block the control of his soul, but if he let go, he could still control it.

"What if I don't agree?" Yingyue asked tentatively.

Xu Bai smiled and said, "My patience is limited. If you don't agree, I can only begrudgingly kill you here."

Although there was a faint smile on his face, his words were full of murderous intent.

Yingyue knew very well that if she didn't do what Xu Bai said, she would really become a corpse in the next moment.

Thinking of this, she closed her eyes.

"Come on."

This expression was as if Xu Bai wanted to do something against the laws of nature.

Xu Bai did not hesitate, and the method of soul control was directly used.

The next moment, Yingyue's eyes became extremely dull.

As a master of using the soul, Xu Bai could feel that Yingyue was being controlled by him at this moment.

"Is what you said just now true or false?" Xu Bai asked.

Yingyue said slowly: "It's true."

Just three simple words, but it has shown that everything he said before is true.

Xu Bai dispersed his soul control.

Now he is still in the enemy's military camp, where dangers are lurking everywhere, and it is not suitable to ask too much.

He only needs a result, and now this result has been obtained.

As for the following things, it is not too late to find a safe place to talk about it.

Originally, he wanted to kill the people in the military camp, but it is not suitable to do it now, because Yingyue does not seem to know his true identity.

And the chaotic characteristics of his own transformation are too obvious.

People, there will be plenty of time to kill them in the future.

Yingyue quickly returned to normal, and also realized that the current situation was not right, and hurriedly said: "Take the people away first, and we will talk later."

Xu Bai nodded.

Yingyue raised her white index finger and pointed at the group of unconscious women in the air.

The shadow suddenly appeared, wrapped the group of women, and soon disappeared into thin air.

"My special ability is to hide everything in the shadow. Let's go first." Yingyue explained, and then hurriedly left for a place: "Go quickly, my shadow won't last long, they will be back soon."

Xu Bai didn't waste any words and followed behind.

After they left, there was a commotion in the barracks, and Zhu Shan returned to the barracks with hundreds of soldiers. Looking at the empty space, his face was gloomy.

Just now, he chased for so long, but in the end, it was just a shadow. He knew that he had been tricked, so he ran back quickly, but it was still a step too late.

"Shadow controller!" Zhu Shan said gloomily: "I will catch you, as long as you are in Luofeng City, you can't run away!"

Zhu Shan's voice rang out in the deep night sky.

...

Great Chu State, the capital.

In the white-haired hand of General Mu, he held a white piece and was about to put it on the chessboard.

There was no one on the opposite side, he was playing chess with himself.

In the corner of the room, a man suddenly walked out.

This man was dressed in ordinary clothes, but he was already middle-aged, and his aura was extraordinary.

——Transcendent Realm.

"Sir, Yingyue has already revealed her identity to Prince Xu, and everything is going according to plan."

"Got it." General Manager Mu frowned, without raising his head, and after hesitating for a moment, he placed the white piece in one of the corners.

After waiting for a while, General Manager Mu raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man who was still standing there, frowning even more.

"Why don't you leave?"

"Sir, I don't understand." The middle-aged man said respectfully: "Why do you have to go around so many detours? It's better to tell Xu Bai directly from the beginning when Yingyue has to reveal her identity herself."

General Manager Mu smiled and said meaningfully: "Do you think it's unnecessary?"

The middle-aged man didn't speak. As a subordinate, it's not easy to point it out directly at this time.

But he didn't speak, but everything was unspoken.

General Manager Mu waved his sleeves, and the chessboard in front of him automatically returned to its original position. The black piece fell into one of the chess baskets, and the other white piece fell into the other chess basket.

He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the people outside the window.

"I left a way for Yingyue to survive. Originally, she was ten out of ten, but now she is nine out of ten."

The middle-aged man still didn't understand.

General Manager Mu continued: "If Yingyue didn't save those people today, she would not live, but only die."

"Why?" the middle-aged man asked.

General Manager Mu raised his hand and said nothing.

The middle-aged man understood this very well, and took out a teacup from the side and handed it to General Manager Mu.

General Manager Mu took a sip.

"She has been staying in Da Yue since she was a child. Although she is a spy here, I want to know whether her heart is still in Da Yue."

"What does our Da Chu Kingdom emphasize?"

The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "Putting the people first. Although there are still many dirty places, most people have done it."

When a group has enough people, some dirty phenomena are inevitable. It is impossible to guarantee 100% cleanliness. At least the Great Chu Kingdom can do most of it.

General Manager Mu said: "So I need to take this opportunity to see her. If I go to save her, it proves that Yingyue still has principles and has not been corrupted by the Great Yue Kingdom."

"What if not?"

"No?" General Manager Mu looked calm: "I will find someone to kill her, and then replace her with someone else."

"Me?" asked the middle-aged man.

General Manager Mu nodded.

The middle-aged man pondered for a long time, and finally couldn't help but asked: "Sister... is there still a way to survive?"

General Manager Mu patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder and said: "Yingnian, you have survived nine deaths, and there is still one life. It depends on whether Xu Bai can help her survive."

Mu Yingnian was silent.

"Are you hating me for calculating even my own children?" General Manager Mu asked.

Mu Yingnian did not respond.

Mu Zongsi continued: "All this is for the people of Liming."

"I have arranged it for so many years. I even let you and your sister enter this plan. We must ensure that it is foolproof."

"Now my chance has come. If your sister can bear this responsibility, she will go. If she can't, you will go. This is fate."

"I am in this position. I enjoy the admiration of everyone and the life of luxury. I have to do my own things. The same is true for you. You are my children. You have to do what you should do. The same is true for death."

Mu Yingnian quickly clasped his fists: "Yes, sir!"

"There is no one here today, so call me father." Mu Zongsi sighed.

Mu Yingnian said: "Father!"

Mu Zongsi was bored and waved his hand, as if he didn't intend to say more.

Mu Yingnian didn't say anything else and turned around and left directly, but before leaving, he looked back at his father.

Under the back of that white-haired figure, there is always an indescribable sense of loneliness.

Year, month, and day are the three children of General Mu.

Day is dead, only year and month are left.

This old man spent decades laying out a plan for the sake of the Great Chu State, and even sacrificed his descendants.

"Is it worth it?" Mu Yingnian said to himself.

...

Dayue State, herbal medicine shop.

Xu Bai sat upright on the chair, looking at Yingyue in front of him, and drank a sip of tea calmly.

"Tell me, what kind of news is it that deserves your attention?"
