Chapter 417: Torture, "Coward"

In a small dark room, Wang Zhao was imprisoned here. Although the other party did not kill him, they would not make it easy for him. After all, it was precisely because of their existence that the last war that should have been a victory ended. Only small wins.

Suddenly, the door opened with a bang, and the dazzling sun shone into the small and dark room. The sudden light made it impossible for Wang Zhao to open his eyes. In his perception, a tall figure stood in front of him. Wang Zhao raised his hand to cover his eyes and squinted hard to see who that person was.

But before he could see clearly, the other party's voice reached his ears.

"How is it? How does it feel? Staying in such a dark and humid place without the sun, and being with snakes, rats, ants and insects, it's exciting just thinking about it, hahaha."

Listening to this familiar voice, Wang Zhao twitched the corner of his mouth with a sneer. How could he not recognize the voice that found him?

"It's exciting."

Wang Zhao's tone was cheerful, as if he had remembered something pleasant.

"Believe me, when my lord unites the world, you will feel it too."

The next moment, Xiahou Dun kicked out and stepped on his chest. He kneaded his chest left and right with his toes. The severe pain made him groan, but then he gritted his teeth and stopped making any sound. sound.

"Why are you still talking so hard when you are about to die? Do you, Liu Bei's subordinates, usually practice talking skills in training?"

Xiahou Dun sneered, his face full of disdain and ridicule, then he threw a piece of paper on the ground and took back the toes that were resting on Wang Zhao.

"Stop thinking that your lord will come to save you. He has already sent a letter stating that he will not accept the terms of exchanging you with first-class war horses. He has given up on you. Do you still want to continue to work for him?"

Wang Zhao stretched out his hand to take the piece of paper and see what was written on it. Looking at Wang Zhao's actions, Xiahou Dun did not stop him, but just stood there, looking at Wang Zhao with a playful expression. The moment he was about to touch the paper, he suddenly withdrew his hand and no longer looked at the content on it.

Xiahou Dun was slightly surprised. He thought about many possible scenarios. For example, after learning that Liu Bei would not save him, he would collapse emotionally, and then betray all his colleagues in a rage, or he would learn the news. After that, he remained silent and couldn't ask anything.

But he never thought about standing in this situation. Wang Zhao just sat there and stopped making any movements. Xiahou Dun wanted to reach out, pick up the paper and show it to Wang Zhao, but was interrupted by Wang Zhao. He just sat there, like an old Buddha in meditation. Sitting there, lips slightly parted.

"No need to waste your efforts anymore. Even if the lord really abandons me and is unwilling to exchange the so-called first-class war horse, I will not blame the lord, let alone have a grudge against the lord. As early as when I came here , I already know my own ending, it all depends on me and has nothing to do with the Lord, so just kill me, you won’t get any useful information from me.”

Wang Zhao's tone was calm and his speaking speed was very slow, because he knew that the sun was rare, so he wanted to enjoy the hard-earned sunshine in his limited life. Faced with Wang Zhao's words, Xiahou Dun had no regrets. He said, putting away his previous ridicule.

Because apart from Wang Zhao, the other person they picked out, like Wang Zhao, did not say a single useful word, which made Xiahou Dun return without success. Who went to Xiaoyan's shop and went there frequently? This method was used to screen out the corresponding suspects, but there was no way to investigate the others.

Their clues were also disconnected because of Wang Zhao and another person's silence, and they could no longer trace it. Although Gu Rubing agreed and was willing to exchange first-class war horses for them, how much could they get in exchange for just a few people? , Xiahou Dun frowned, Cao Cao gave him an order, asking him to find out all the details before Gu Rubing came. Only in this way can they obtain enough war horses.

Xiahou Dun had gradually lost patience with Wang Zhao. Even if he and another person were alive, it would only be 700 first-class war horses. Although it was better than nothing, it was definitely not what Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun wanted. Therefore, Xiahou Dun made up his mind. Determined, he began to torture him to extract confessions.

"Drag him to the basement and get everything ready for me."

Xiahou Dun told the soldiers on the side. After Wang Zhao left, Xiahou Dun pointed to the confinement room in another direction and said to another soldier.

"Take the man to the interrogation room on the other side so he can hear."

After doing all this, Xiahou Dun turned and walked towards the basement. In the basement, there were various torture instruments, burning irons, boiled dogwood water, and various knives used for dissection. , here, there are still blood stains that cannot be washed away, which are the marks left by the previous prisoners. After years of accumulation, these blood stains have penetrated into the wood here.

Wang Zhao had been placed on a shelf, his hands were suspended, and only the toes of his feet could touch the ground. The strong uneasiness of not being able to touch the ground made Wang Zhao try hard to stand on the shelf, but it was in vain. Xiahou Dun took off his armor and walked in in civilian clothes.

"To tell you the truth, your lord has not given up on you, and he has prepared a first-class war horse in exchange for your life. He repeatedly warned us in the letter that we must not kill you and must keep you. Your life, but unfortunately, my lord and I have changed our minds. We agree that you are more important than five hundred first-class war horses."

"Oh."

Wang Zhao raised his lips and smiled contemptuously.

"I don't know what tricks you are going to pull, but just come on."

"Trick? No, no, no, I'm not trying to do any tricks, but I want to give you two choices. One is to undergo torture and then die here to disappoint your lord. He has been waiting for you to go back. If you If he dies, what will happen to him? Moreover, I will do everything possible to uproot everyone under your command and kill them all. If you die, they will die. "

Xiahou Dun walked to the side, took out a soldering iron from the red-hot bucket, and came to Wang Zhao.

"The second method is the best method for you and me. As long as you tell me the names of all the craftsmen in Cao Jun, I promise you that I will never embarrass them and will allow them to leave here alive. Absolutely There won’t be any accidents, no one will be left behind, I promise you!”

"Too!"

A mouthful of spit flew out and hit Xiahou Dun on the face. Xiahou Dun, who was still talking nicely, suddenly lost all his patience and pressed the hot iron on Wang Zhao's chest. The red hot iron was on the flesh. There was a sizzling sound, a wisp of smoke rose up, and Wang Zhao roared loudly in pain.

"Tell me! How many more people are ambushing here! What are their names!"

Xiahou Dun's face was filled with ferociousness, and he continued to press the iron in his hand. Wang Zhao roared even louder, and his whole body trembled violently in pain, but he still did not say a word.

After taking off the soldering iron, a piece of cooked flesh and blood appeared on Wang Zhao's chest, which collapsed. Wang Zhao fainted from the pain. Xiahou Dun threw the soldering iron into the stove and waved to the soldiers watching.

"Wake him up with vinegar."

After saying that, Xiahou Dun turned around and walked to another room. In this room, another scout was imprisoned. His name was Chen Chao. He was almost the same time as Wang Zhao joined Gu Rubing. He was also hung up at this moment. When he saw Xiahou Dun After entering, Chen Chao said disdainfully.

"What's the matter, you didn't get the information you wanted from Lao Wang, so you came to me? Damn it, I'm telling you, Lao Wang didn't even tell you, let alone me, how did you abuse Lao Wang? Come on, give it to me Come double it!”

Chen Chao said loudly, and the corners of Xiahou Dun's eyes twitched. This Chen Chao was even more unreasonable than Wang Zhao. No matter what he asked him, Chen Chao would just say one word. If Lao Wang didn't say anything, he wouldn't say anything.

Once, Xiahou Dun told him that Wang Zhao had confessed and wanted to see if he could get anything out of Chen Chao's mouth. But what he didn't expect was that Chen Chao's words almost made him collapse.

"Did Lao Wang really say that? Did that idiot really say that? Marde, we promised to stay rich and honor each other and never forget each other. Did you say it first before I told you to step on the horse?"

Then there was a scolding by Wang Zhao. Xiahou Dun finally got tired of hearing it and interrupted Chen Chao.

"You don't need to shout here. As long as you can name a few names, you also have everything he can get?"

As soon as he said this, Chen Chao stared at Xiahou Dun as if he were a fool, and then spoke.

"Didn't Lao Wang give it to you? What else do you want from me?"

One sentence made Xiahou Dun choke. Then Chen Chao ignored Xiahou Dun and continued to yell and curse. He was scolding Wang Zhao, but in fact he was scolding Cao Cao. Xiahou Dun ignored him and walked out of the room.

It's the same situation now. Xiahou Dun also tried to torture him, but the result was that he was even more difficult to deal with than Wang Zhao. Even torture had no effect on Chen Chao. Xiahou Dun's eyelids were jumping now. He restrained his emotions and said to Then Chen Chao walked over.

"You're useless, he's already used them all."

As he said this, Xiahou Dun took out the dagger hidden on his calf and walked towards Chen Chao. Chen Chao smiled slightly.

"Have you come up with any new tricks? Are you still doing this?"

Before Chen Chao could finish speaking, Xiahou Dun stabbed his abdomen with a knife, and blood flowed out gurglingly. Xiahou Dun waved to the soldiers in the room.

"Let him go and follow me."

Xia Houdun led several people and carried Chen Chao to Wang Zhao's room next door. Before entering the room, Chen Chao heard Wang Zhao's violent coughing. After entering, he saw Wang Zhao being pressed on a chair, with his face on Wang Zhao's face. He was covered with two layers of white gauze and vinegar was being poured on his face.

When Chen Chao saw Wang Zhao's appearance, he couldn't help but clenched his fists. After Xiahou Dun came in, he signaled the soldiers who were pouring vinegar to stop. Wang Zhao was dragged up and sat on a chair. He was a little confused by the vinegar and coughed. After a few mouthfuls, he spit out a few mouthfuls of vinegar, raised his head and looked at Chen Chao, and then moved to the dagger still inserted in Chen Chao's abdomen, and his whole body trembled visibly.

"You two are both tough, and ordinary methods are of no use to you. I understand, so I just came up with a good way."

Xiahou Dun waved and had Chen Chao dragged over, so that the two of them sat opposite each other. Xiahou Dun waved a dagger in his hand and pointed at the dagger stuck in Chen Chao's abdomen.

"I heard that you all value the relationship between colleagues. Then I want to see how much you value it. If I ask you a question and you don't answer, I will give him a knife."

Xiahou Dun pointed his knife at Wang Zhao again.

"First question, apart from the four of you, is there anyone else in the supply camp?"

"What do you have to do with me if you mess with Lao Wang... Lao Wang!"

Chen Chao only said half of what he said. Xiahou Dun didn't hesitate at all and immediately stabbed Wang Zhao in the abdomen. The position was not fatal, it was just for torture.

"I no longer have the patience to waste time with you two. As long as your answer is not what I want to hear, I will give the other person a knife until you answer the answer I want."

Xiahou Dun did not pull out the dagger. In this case, pulling out the dagger would only accelerate their death and make them bleed to death. However, with the dagger blocking the wound, the bleeding would be reduced a lot. If an organ was injured, pulling out the dagger would only Will die faster.

Although Xiahou Dun was torturing them, he didn't really want to kill them. Cao Cao told him that as long as they didn't die, it would be fine. Even if they were given half-dead to Liu Bei and then died in Liu Bei's hands, it would have nothing to do with them. Now Cao Cao's forces were not too afraid of Liu Bei.

"Second question, who is your upline? Who is your downline?"

"Online is your father! Offline is your mother!"

Chen Chao did not accept Xiahou Dun's tactics at all, and stared at Xiahou Dun fiercely. When Xiahou Dun heard the first sentence, he had already raised the dagger he was holding. After Chen Chao finished speaking, Xiahou Dun's dagger also stabbed Wang. Zhao's abdomen.

Seeing Wang Zhao lowering his head in pain, Chen Chao's eyes widened with anger.

"You're looking for death!"

Although Chen Chao said he didn't care, how could he really not care? He had already received the hot iron and jealous torture, but before he could recover, he was stabbed twice more. His mental state declined rapidly and he began to become depressed.

"If you don't want him to continue to be tortured, just answer my questions. As long as your answer satisfies me, I will let him go and no longer torture him."

Xiahou Dun grinned. This method was told to him by Cheng Yu before he came. The effect was immediate. He tortured them for several days but could not make them sway in any way. But now, with just two blows, Chen Chao was already getting emotional. As long as Xiahou Dun continued like this, it was only a matter of time before Chen Chao couldn't hold on any longer.

Chen Chao looked at Wang Zhao, his lips trembling, and he was having a fierce ideological struggle. Just when Chen Chao was in a trance and couldn't bear to see Wang Zhao like this and was about to agree, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded.

"Damn it, I knew it, you coward."
