It was noon, the front yard of Zhen's house.

In a room on the west side of the house, there was a crackling sound of charcoal burning, mixed with the sound of talking and the crisp sound of a horsewhip flicking.

In the room, I saw Li Xuan, Guo Jia, Huan Fei, Xu Chu, Duan Xuan, Chen Zhi and others all present, gathered together to whisper, and Huan Fei, Xu Chu and other generals were full of anger and scolded from time to time.

In the two days that Li Li was in bed to recuperate, Li Xuan, Guo Jia and other travelers returned to Zhen's Mansion one after another. When they learned the news that the lord Li Li was seriously injured, they were immediately shocked and inexplicable, and immediately ran to visit Li Li's sickbed, until they confirmed that Li Li was in good health, they were relieved.

However, for Li Li's accidental injury, Li Xuan, Huan Fei and others felt deeply remorseful, and when they thought of Li Li's more than ten arrows, they shuddered and were afraid. In addition to the righteous indignation, the two culprits Yuan Xi and Feng Ji, who ordered Li Li to be shot, were undoubtedly their most angry targets.

How could it be that the Zhen family had already ordered people to watch the utility room where Yuan Xi and Feng Ji were imprisoned, and no one was allowed to enter, so that Li Xuan, Huan Fei and others felt helpless, so they could only sulk, but they didn't dare to slam the door and break in. After all, they are now the "sons-in-law" of the Zhen family, although they are not married, their family affairs have been decided, and they can get married only this fall.

What they didn't expect was that just as the group was about to leave Zhen's mansion today, the Zhen clan suddenly changed their words, no longer "protecting" Yuan Xi and Feng Ji, and made it clear that Yuan and Feng would be handed over to them for disposal.

In this way, Yuan Xi and Feng Ji, who had been detained in the utility room for two days and two nights, finally ushered in a catastrophic moment, whether they were alive or dead was between the thoughts of Li Xuan, Guo Jia and others, and as for how to die, the law was in the hands of generals such as Huan Fei, Xu Chu and Chen Zhi.

"Whew!" As Chen Zhi raised the horsewhip and whipped it hard, the horsewhip let out a sharp whistling sound. It was accurately pumped on Yuan Xi, who was tied up with five flowers.

"Ah--" This scream is very high-pitched and poignant, the volume is very large, and the echo is long, it is definitely Yuan Xichao's level performance. Otherwise, just based on his white appearance of fine skin and tender flesh, under normal circumstances, he would definitely not be able to let out such a high-volume miserable scream.

"Smack, smack, smack!"

"Ahh

No matter how Yuan Xi screamed, Chen Zhi would not be merciful, and the horsewhip in his hand flew in the air like waving a spear, one whip followed the other. It all fell on Yuan Xi. Every time the whip went down, there would be a long blood mark in an instant, which hit the fine silk on Yuan Xi's body cracked and cracked, and blood flowed everywhere. After dozens of strokes, the brocade robe was completely reduced to strips of cloth. And Yuan Xi was beaten to the point that his skin was open, and his whole body was drenched in blood. I screamed so much that my throat was hoarse. It turned into a hoarse wail.

Yuan Xi was wearing fine iron armor before, and after being captured and imprisoned by the dead soldiers of the Zhen Mansion, the Zhen family treated him well, took off the armor, and replaced him with a new brocade robe with high-quality fabrics and meticulous workmanship. Furthermore. Although he and Feng Ji were imprisoned and became prisoners of the ranks, they had three meals a day with wine and meat, and they were courteous.

But. Prior to this, Yuan Xi and Feng Ji had no appreciation for the Zhen family's pretentious approach, and they faintly felt in their hearts that the Zhen family did not dare to do anything to them. Then the two of them had no fear, and made requests to the family again and again, such as couches, brocade quilts, fruits, pastries and other things, and even they even intensified their requests for the maids of the Zhen Mansion to sleep. So they succeeded in angering the housekeeper in the front yard of Zhen's house, and immediately ordered someone to take away all the utensils in the utility room, not even a single straw was left, and the two of them were tied up.

As a result, last night, Yuan Xi and Feng Ji didn't close their eyes all night, and they shivered from the cold, so they could only curl up on the corner of the wall and rub the wall hard to keep warm. However, what they never dreamed of was that last night's starvation and freezing were only a precursor to disaster, and today's leather whip and a red-hot soldering iron not far away were the "main course". As for what kind of treatment will be after the main course, Yuan Xi really doesn't dare to think about it, maybe he will be cut off in the next moment.

"General, general, please stop beating my second son! If he continues to fight, he will be beaten to death by the general! Seeing that there was less time for a cup of tea, the second son, Yuan Xi, was whipped more than a hundred times, and the pain made Yuan Xi die and come back to life, and his throat was hoarse; Feng Ji really couldn't stand it, and was tormented, and finally opened his mouth to intercede for Yuan Xi.

"Yo he! You are quite loyal, and you dare to plead with your son-in-law, it seems that you have itchy skin and owe pumping! Without waiting for Chen Zhi, who was whipping like rain, to answer, He Man, who was standing on the side, immediately walked up to Feng Ji with a cruel smile on his face, and before the words fell, he shook his hand and whipped Feng Ji.

"Ahh Feng Ji's scream under the pain was better than Yuan Xi's, the voice was sharp, and the scream was so fierce that it was three points better than Yuan Xi.

"Bang Bang

After He Man picked up the horsewhip, the whipping speed was faster than Chen Zhi, Liliang was very large, and as soon as the whip went down, he chiseled a blood groove half an inch deep and more than a foot long on Feng Ji's body. And the brocade robe on Feng Ji's body immediately cracked, blood splashed, and there were some scraps of flesh and blood mixed in it, which showed how big Liliang He Man whipped was.

Feng Ji, who was suddenly beaten, never closed his mouth as soon as he opened his mouth and screamed, he was a tenor with a long breath. As soon as he roared out of his voice, it lasted for a long time, causing everyone in the room to buzz in their eardrums, and they all looked at Feng Ji in surprise, unable to believe that he, a weak scholar, could make such a loud sound, which was comparable to the drums of war.

"Smack, smack, smack!" This is the sound that Chen Zhi made when he whipped Yuan Xi.

"Bang-!" This is the sound of He Man vigorously whipping Feng Ji, and the horsewhip splitting the flesh and skin.

Compared with Liliang alone, He Man, who is nine feet five inches long, although his martial arts are not as good as Chen Zhi, Liliang is above Chen Zhi, otherwise Huan Fei would not accept him as an apprentice. Therefore, the power of a horsewhip he vigorously drew was definitely no smaller than the wound of a stabbing sword, not only that, but this whip would also hurt the internal organs, leaving people with a lot of internal injuries.

Poor Feng Ji Yijie scholar, thin physique, skinny, weak, and powerless. When it comes to physical fitness, he is far less "physically fit" than Yuan Xi. After all, Yuan Xi often followed Yuan Shao on expeditions, and although his martial arts were scarce, he could wear heavy armor and play with swords, guns, swords, and halberds. Feng Ji is different, he is a pure scribe, frail and sickly since he was a child, after serving Yuan Shao, he has never worn a battle armor, let alone the experience of being on the battlefield, he has always sat and talked about it, giving advice to Yuan Shao.

Therefore, with a weak body like Feng Ji, he could not withstand the whipping of a fierce man like He Man. After only more than 30 blows, his head was tilted, his eyes were closed, his lips were pale, and he fainted in pain.

Just when Feng Ji fainted, Yuan Xi, who had already been whipped more than a hundred times, also stopped wailing, curled up on the corner of the wall with a bloodless face, fainted in complete pain, and let the horse whip on his body, but there was no response.

"Stop!" Seeing that Feng Ji Shengsheng was whipped by He Man and fainted to the ground, and Yuan Xi's life and death were unknown, Guo Jia, who had been with Feng Ji's colleagues, finally walked out from behind Huan Fei, stood up in front of Chen Zhi and He Man, and shouted loudly.

Seeing Guo Jia come forward to stop him, Chen Zhi and He Man immediately stopped their movements and turned their heads to look at him suspiciously. Obviously, the two of them wanted to know that Guo Jia Weishenme showed up to block it, and needed a reasonable explanation.

Because Li Xuan didn't speak, Guo Jia blocked him, who didn't know that he was a guest under Yuan Shao's tent before. Therefore, he must explain now, otherwise he will be thinking about the kindness of his old master and trying to indulge in favoritism.

Seeing Chen Zhi and He Man staring at him, while Li Xuan, Huan Fei and others also stared at him, Guo Jiaton felt pressured. He knew that he had just joined the Xiliang Army and had not yet won the trust and recognition of everyone, and now he had to say a reasonable reason, otherwise it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the Xiliang Army in the future. At this moment, how Guo Jia hopes that the lord Li Li is also here, because Li Li trusts him very much and will never doubt his loyalty.

"The two generals will stop for the time being, and if they continue to fight, these two will be beaten to death!" After first speaking to appease Chen Zhi and He Man, Guo Jia continued: "Just now, Mrs. Zhen asked me to take over Yuan Xi and Feng Ji, and we can dispose of these two at will, but the lord did not order us to execute the two of them. In other words, we didn't see the lord all this morning, and we don't know what the lord wants, and whether he agrees with us to execute Yuan Xi and Feng Ji. Therefore, I don't think we can let them die easily until we receive the Lord's order; If the lord has other uses for the two of them, then we are not ruining the lord's affairs. ”

After a pause in his tone, seeing that everyone's expressions were slightly relaxed, Guo Jia couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and then said: "In addition, Yuan Xi is the son of Yuan Shao in Jizhou after all, and our army has not officially fought with Yuan Shao at the moment, so it is not appropriate for the two sides to fight each other at present, so as not to have no room for relaxation in the future." What's more, we all know a little about the talents of these two people, and killing them now is just for a moment's pleasure, and there is no practical benefit to the lord and me. On the other hand, what if they were spared, would they be a stumbling block to us in the future, or would they still have the ability to defeat us?

It's easy to kill them now, it's just a matter of getting up and down; But they are alive, and there is no threat to the lord and our army, and they will even be beneficial to us. Therefore, the lesser of two powers. I think it's better to spare their lives for the time being, and wait for the lord's order, if the lord orders them to be executed, it's not too late to kill them. What do you think of the ranking? ”

"Haha! Well, Feng Xiao's words are reasonable! Just as Guo Jia finished speaking and waited for Li Xuan, Huan Fei and others to make a statement, Li Li appeared at the door of the utility room with a smile, and strode towards Guo Jia, followed by Ma Yunluo, Zhen and Li Zhi.
