Inside the tent, the woman's crying and pleading grew increasingly shrill and ear - piercing. Mixed in were the man's growls and the whistling sound of the whip cutting through the air.
Playing it this rough?
Outside the tent, Wei Dongling stared in disbelief, forgetting for a moment to back away.
The guard at the door's face changed. His eyes showed a hint of embarrassment, shyness, and unease. He had just led a girl to the latrine, and now their heroic Flying General had summoned a camp prostitute?
Wei Dongling awkwardly backed away again and again. Just as she was thinking of finding a place to avoid the situation, the commotion inside the tent grew louder. It seemed that the woman's mouth had been covered with something, and her muffled groans were becoming increasingly spine - chilling.
Never would she have thought that the Flying General had such perverse preferences. Wei Dongling was so scared that she just wanted to turn around and run. She looked at the dense rows of patrolling Iron Cavalry soldiers around and sighed silently.
In the distance, several Iron Cavalry soldiers came running. The soldier guarding Wei Dongling bowed to the dark - faced leader and said, "Greetings, Vice - General Cui!"
Vice - General Cui glanced at Wei Dongling at the door, looking puzzled but not asking in detail. His eyes showed a hint of contempt. He waved his hand at the saluting soldier and then plunged into the tent.
Then they heard Vice - General Cui inside the tent calling out hurriedly, "Flying General, your subordinate has urgent news to report!"
The commotion inside the tent gradually stopped. Vice - General Cui whispered something to the Flying General. Then they heard the Flying General reply indifferently, "I got it."
Not long after, two soldiers were summoned into the tent. They dragged out a dying woman from left and right. The woman was beautiful and had a good figure, but at this moment, her clothes were in disarray, and she looked extremely embarrassed. Her body was whipped to the point of laceration, and the red marks on her neck were shocking. She was so weak that she slumped on the ground. Being dragged out by the two soldiers, it seemed that she wouldn't survive.
Wei Dongling's face turned deathly pale. How could this Flying General be so inhumane? He liked to use women as playthings. It was really terrifying!
Vice - General Cui lifted the curtain and came out with the Flying General.
The Flying General glanced at Wei Dongling, pointed at her, and waved his hand impatiently at the soldier at the door. "Clean her up and send her here!"
"Yes!"
Wei Dongling was extremely flustered and was pushed out by two soldiers.
Before, Wei Dongling and Jingzhe had both fallen into the water and were completely soaked. After a morning of running around, the wet clothes on her body were almost dried by her body temperature. At this time, the clothes stuck to her body, making her extremely uncomfortable.
Wei Dongling thought that when the Flying General said "clean her up", it meant at least fetching a bucket of hot water to have a good wash and then changing into clean clothes. However, to her surprise, the two Iron Cavalry soldiers picked her up like a little chick and took her to a small stream near the camp. They grabbed her head and forcefully pressed it into the water again and again. The cold water made her shiver. The two soldiers showed no mercy. They repeated this several times before dragging her back.
In the jungle far from the stream, Shangguan Yun watched the scene coldly and clenched his fists. There were many patrolling Iron Cavalry troops nearby. He had no chance of winning if he made a move at this moment. He could only wait until nightfall and then figure out a way to sneak into the military camp.
Wei Dongling, dripping wet, was thrown back into the Flying General's tent. Looking up in embarrassment, she saw the Flying General sitting beside a table, writing a letter with a brush. When he saw her being thrown in, he didn't even lift his head with his ghost mask on. His expression was completely unreadable.
Wei Dongling's gaze fell on the wooden table beside the bed. There was a whip on the table that hadn't been put away in time. There were traces of blood on it. It was obvious that this was the whip used to strangle the woman just now!
Wei Dongling only glanced at the cold whip, and her heart started pounding. She lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to move.
The Flying General finished writing the letter in a hurry, got up, put it into an envelope, and sent someone to deliver it. Then he turned back coldly and stared at Wei Dongling on the ground.
Feeling his gaze on her, Wei Dongling felt a tingling sensation on her scalp.
The Flying General sized her up for a long time. Suddenly, he casually threw over a black robe and snorted, "Put it on."
Wei Dongling's body trembled. She lowered her eyes and looked at her hands. Her fair wrists were tightly bound by ropes, leaving several red marks. Wei Dongling trembled as she raised her hands, indicating that she couldn't change her clothes because her hands were tied.
The Flying General let out another impatient snort. He picked up the meteor blade beside him and waved it casually. The ropes on Wei Dongling's wrists were cut off. She rubbed her numb wrists and looked up at the Flying General innocently. Blushing, she said softly, "I, as a woman, have many inconveniences when changing clothes. Please, General, avoid the area for a while."
The Flying General let out a snort and didn't respond.
Wei Dongling quickly knelt down and pleaded, "The Flying General is heroic and wise. Naturally, you wouldn't condescend to embarrass a little woman! Please, General, avoid the area for a while. I guarantee that I'll be done soon!"
After a long time, they saw the Flying General lift the curtain and go out.
Did he agree? Wei Dongling quickly and clumsily took off her wet clothes and put on the black, loose - fitting robe. This robe was obviously worn by the Flying General on a daily basis. When it was put on Wei Dongling, the hem and sleeves were a bit too long. Wei Dongling took out a small crossbow and hid it in her sleeve. Then she wiped her hair messily with the wet clothes. After wiping it half - dry, she casually tied up a hair bun and carefully inserted an iron hairpin into it.
Outside the tent, the Flying General heard that there was no more movement inside. His voice hoarse, he asked, "Are you done?"
Wei Dongling calmly touched the small crossbow in her sleeve, swallowed her saliva, and said clearly, "I'm done. The Flying General can come in."
Hearing this, the Flying General lifted the curtain and came in. He was holding a food box in his hand. Without even looking at Wei Dongling, he directly placed the food box on the table.
Looking at the Flying General's back, fine beads of cold sweat broke out on Wei Dongling's forehead. If she waited any longer, she might end up like the camp prostitute just now, becoming a plaything for this perverted general. If that was the case, she would rather die!
The Flying General suddenly felt something strange behind him. As he turned around, he saw Wei Dongling raise the small crossbow in her hand and gently press the buckle, aiming at his face.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh - Five shiny silver needles shot straight towards the Flying General's face. Wei Dongling thought to herself that the silver needles were fast and the distance was short. The tips of the needles were smeared with highly poisonous substances. Once he couldn't avoid them and got poisoned, she would immediately rush forward to grab the meteor blade, kill him to rid the people of a scourge, and then go out to find Jingzhe.
Unexpectedly, under the ghost mask, the Flying General let out a cold laugh. He raised the meteor blade and swished a few times, hitting all the silver needles flying towards him. All of the needles were knocked away and stuck into the felt around, shining a dim light.
Seeing that the Flying General's reaction speed was so fast, Wei Dongling broke out in a cold sweat. Without thinking, she grabbed the iron hairpin on her head and stabbed fiercely at the Flying General's throat.
