Xiang Ju'an received the letter from the Eastern Camp, read it hastily, crumpled the letter into a ball angrily, and sat on the chair in silence for a long time.
Xiang Lincheng carefully picked up the crumpled letter on the ground. After reading the contents, his expression became solemn and he said: "Brother, this matter cannot be delayed. The True Fool Army has captured four of our army's main combat sergeants.
How can we treat them kindly? They will definitely suffer from the torture of true fools, and we must not delay it any longer!"
Xiang Ju'an said: "What fools are used to picking good times. Knowing that our army is arguing with Hechiliu on the Yanjiang Corridor, they took advantage of this opportunity to open their mouths and ask for some bonuses!
"
Xiang Lincheng couldn't hide his anxiety, and his voice trembled slightly as he said: "I will write another note and send it to the capital, asking Emperor Shu to send troops for reinforcements! If Emperor Shu agrees to send troops out of the capital, we will be able to do it with ease.
The earth circulates between the north and the east, and is not burdened by interference!"
Although Xiang Ju'an appears calm on the surface, is he not like an ant on a hot pot? Since the incident in the eastern camp, He Lanlan sent three urgent letters requesting orders to go to Zhenyu Country to seek help for the four captured people. Xiang Ju'an
An couldn't leave the north for the time being, and the Yanjiang Corridor issue was at a stalemate, which had now become a very difficult matter. Originally, he and Emperor Shu were in a stalemate because of this matter, and now the eastern camp project has become a very difficult matter.
Ju'an couldn't take it into consideration and was really short of manpower. He asked Emperor Shu to send troops, but Emperor Shu had not responded until now.
He understood that this was the expression Shu Di gave him. Shu Di's move was to let Xiang Ju'an know: There are always things that are beyond your power.
Xiang Ju'an could only say helplessly: "Let's do another trick."
Xiang Lincheng looked at his brother worriedly and expressed the question in his heart: "If Emperor Shu insists on refusing to send troops, what should we do? Are we going to watch death without saving him?"
Xiang Ju'an closed his mouth, clenched his fists unconsciously, and said, "Try again..."
The sound of whipping could be heard endlessly, and Zhe Shu's screams gradually became softer and softer. When Guan Jiyu looked at him again, he had already passed out with his head down and his eyes tightly closed.
"How about it? Are you still unwilling to write a letter to Xiang Ju'an?" Che Yi slowly walked up to Guan Jiyu and said, "Listen, your partner is in too much pain and has no strength to shout anymore. All of this has happened.
It’s your fault, it’s your indifference that made him suffer so much in vain.”
Che Yi looked at Zhe Shu who was hanging in the air, raised his hand and ordered: "Let him wake up. He should have rested enough after resting for so long."
The man in golden armor standing next to him loosened the rope, and Zhe Shu was thrown face down to the ground. Guan Jiyu rushed over and asked, "Zhe Shu, how are you?"
At this time, another man in golden armor pushed a large water tank, picked up the water ladle inside and started to water Zhe Shu. Zhe Shu's body curled up uncontrollably, and soon his face was covered with unbearable pain.
color.
Guan Jiyu realized that the water in the water tank was not ordinary water. They must have added something to it. She gently hugged Zhe Shu and used her body to shield him from the water poured in one ladle after another.
"It hurts, it hurts..." He hugged his knees. No part of the skin on his body was good. Guan Jiyu was afraid of accidentally touching his injuries, and he was also worried that the water poured by the man in golden armor would fall on him.
She hunched over helplessly and collapsed, her thin body trying her best to shield him from the harm.
"Zheshu, Zheshu." Guan Jiyu's clothes were soaked, her hair was messy, and water droplets dripped from her hair one after another.
Zhe Shu's eyelids moved and he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with calmness and relief that he had never seen before.
He grinned his chapped lips, smiled at her, and said to her in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Ayu, get out of the way, you can't stop me."
Guan Jiyu put his hands on both sides of Zhe Shu's shoulders. Her vision was blurred, but she still refused to let go.
"Ayu, give up. We are captured. They will not let us go. Today they are coming for me. Do you think they will let me survive? You might as well give me a good time and attack me quickly.
Let's go." Zhe Shu's smile was full of exhaustion. He no longer had the escape and optimism of the past.
He wanted to die with all his heart, and the eagerness and longing in his eyes made it impossible for Guan Jiyu to find any trace of his nostalgia for this world.

Chapter 126 This is not normal
Zhe Shu reached out and grabbed Guan Jiyu's shoulder. That hand was covered with blood scabs, bleeding and ulcerated pus. He held her tightly and said, "Ayu, please, I will die in your hands."
I am willing. I don’t want to live anymore. I don’t want to stay in this hell on earth for a moment longer. Please, let me die.”
Guan Jiyu couldn't hold back any longer and cried loudly. She circled Zheshu with her hands, broke down and cried: "Why...why is this happening! Who will save us, who will save us?"
!”
Che Yi stood not far away, staring at Guan Jiyu coldly, and said lightly: "No one can save you, you can only ask yourself, do you want him to live?"
Guan Jiyu was speechless. She stared at Che Yi blankly, unable to say a word. She didn't know whether she should agree to him or continue to stick to her original idea.
Her mind was in chaos, and she felt that she had thought of everything too simply. She thought that the battlefield was either life or death, but she never imagined that there was another state between life and death.
At this moment she is between life and death.
Guan Jiyu had a splitting headache. She couldn't bear the severe pain and held her head, whimpering in pain. Zhe Shu beside her begged her to help him kill himself. She couldn't do it, but she couldn't watch him continue to suffer.
.
Che Yi forced her to write a letter to persuade Xiang Ju'an to surrender. At first, she thought this request was too ridiculous. In order to survive, she made this request to Xiang Ju'an without even thinking about it. She thought it was absolutely impossible!
But just now, her consciousness had been confused. Amidst the screams of her flesh being torn open, and when she looked at the thousands of wounds on Zheshu's body, she suddenly wavered.
Guan Jiyu was sometimes awake and sometimes confused. In these two alternating trance states, she was finally defeated.
"I write, I write. I just write hahahahaha." Guan Jiyu pulled his hair, smiled twice at Che Yiguai, and fainted again.
This time Guan Jiyu woke up and was no longer in the pool. She was not in the original water prison, but was thrown into another small cell.
The clothes on her body were half dry, and a clean prison uniform was thrown beside her.
Guan Jiyu picked up the prison uniform that was obviously prepared for her and laughed dryly. The people in the Well of Purgatory had never treated her as a human being, but now they knew how to put a set of clean clothes for her.
She replaced.
"Hypocritical and extremely disgusting..." She threw the clothes aside with disdain and continued to lie back down.
There was the sound of opening the door with a key from outside. Guan Jiyu stayed there numbly, as if he didn't hear it. A man in golden armor came in with a plate of food and put it gently on the ground. Seeing that she didn't respond, he tapped it with chopsticks.
Knocking on the wooden plate, Guan Jiyu remained motionless.
"Hurry up and eat, we will write a letter later." The man in golden armor glanced at her and couldn't help but remind her.
Guan Jiyu slowly turned sideways, resting his head on his arm, and said expressionlessly: "You killed my companion, and you still want me to write a letter?"
The man in golden armor coughed and lowered his voice: "He is not dead yet. You said you would write a letter and that's why you left him half alive."
Guan Jiyu closed his eyes and was silent for a long time before saying: "I want to see my two companions again. I must confirm that they are still alive before I can write this letter."
But the man in golden armor pushed the dinner plate in front of Guan Jiyu and said: "They are still alive, so don't worry and eat first. Only when you are full will you have strength."
Guan Jiyu couldn't help laughing after hearing this. She held her stomach and laughed until she burst into tears, then said: "Only when you are full can you have strength... What can you do if you have strength? Let me eat until I am full.
Do you have the strength to continue watching you torture my companions?"
The man in golden armor sighed and said, "Hurry up and eat. I'll bring you paper and pen later. You can see them after you finish writing the letter!"
At this time, the door was smashed several times from the outside, and the people outside said impatiently: "Ning hurry up and eat! Stop whining and complaining!"
Guan Jiyu still showed no expression. The man in golden armor in front of him quickly stood up and whispered: "Eat quickly!" After that, he lowered his head and hurried out.
Guan Jiyu has not eaten a grain of rice or a drop of water since she came to this well of purgatory. She sat up and stretched out her hand to pick up the rice on the plate, but (this chapter is not finished!)
Chapter 126 This is not normal
I found that my hands were shaking violently and I had no strength at all. I couldn't even lift the rice bowl.
Now the lives of Zhe Shu and Jiang Yingnian were in her hands. If she wanted to keep them alive, she would have to pay a price.
The price she had to pay was to abandon her dignity and send a letter asking for help to Xiang Ju'an, begging him to exchange the lives of the three of them in exchange for Dongfangzhou.
"No...how is this possible? This is impossible..." Guan Jiyu simply lay down, put his mouth to the edge of the bowl, and took two mouthfuls of rice into his mouth with his hands. She chewed it casually and swallowed it quickly.
Guan Jiyu had been hungry for too long, and her ears were filled with a "buzzing" sound. For some reason, the words of the man in golden armor kept echoing in her ears.
The man in golden armor said: "You should eat first. Only when you are full will you have strength."
Guan Jiyu recited this sentence silently several times. The man in golden armor had a feeling that she couldn't describe when he spoke. She couldn't remember where the idea came from.
Guan Jiyu recalled all the conversations she had just had with the man in golden armor, repeating it in her mouth. Suddenly she stopped chewing and looked blankly at the iron gate.
Guan Jiyu felt her body feel hot, as if all the blood had gone to her head. She was surprised to find that every "you" the man in golden armor said was "you."
"It's you...it's you!" Guan Jiyu's mouth was covered with rice grains. He suddenly sat up in shock and murmured: "It's you, not Ning? He's talking about you!"
As Guan Jiyu muttered, she couldn't help but smile. Her lips were too dry. The corners of her mouth were raised slightly, and her lips split. She licked her lips, and the smell of blood made her feel more energetic.
She suddenly looked forward to the man in golden armor coming back soon!
Although Guan Jiyu could not determine who the golden-armored man who delivered the meal was, she could conclude one thing: this golden-armored man must not be an ordinary low-level golden-armored man!
All the true fools Guan Jiyu has seen here all speak with accents. When they say "you", they will say "Ning". Only Che Yi's pronunciation is more normal, but Che Yi's status is obviously more noble.
Why would an ordinary low-level golden-armored person say "you"?
This is not normal. Who could that strange man in golden armor be?
