“No, my lord!”
When the girl who had just spoken heard this, she immediately used her hands and feet to crawl in front of Zhu Shan. She hugged Zhu Shan’s leg and cried, her voice hoarse.
Not only her, but the other women also had the same expression. Other than fear, there was also deep despair.
Their clothes were not enough to cover their bodies. A few timid ones even fainted.
The sound of wheels rolling on the ground could be heard. Soon, two soldiers pushed the cart and stopped in the middle of the bonfire.
On the cart was a net made of chains.
The soldier threw the iron net, and it immediately spread out to a length of more than ten meters.
Zhu Shan kicked the woman away and pursed his lips. His face was full of disdain.”Lowly citizen of Great Chu, how dare you touch my armor?”
The woman was kicked away and rolled a few times before she struggled to get up from the ground.
Zhu Shan didn’t care about this woman. Instead, he pointed at the iron net on the ground and said excitedly,””Didn’t you want the general to let you go? This general has agreed, but you must pay the price.”
“Do you see these things? As long as you roll back and forth ten times, this general will naturally let you go.”
There were spikes less than an inch long on the iron net.
These spikes were very short and small. If they rolled on it once, it would not hurt their lives. However, if they rolled on it ten times, how could it be easy with human skin?
The pain was obvious. There were dense spikes on it, and after rolling ten times, it became a sieve.
When the group of women saw the iron net and the spikes on it, they hugged each other with fear on their faces.
They were just ordinary rural women who lived in small villages at the border and had never participated in the disputes between the two countries.
They were citizens of Great Chu, but they had always been honest.
He had never thought that after being captured, he would face such an ending.
“Perhaps, death is the true release.”
A few women could not help but feel envious when they thought of their fellow villagers who had died.
The young girl who spoke at the beginning could no longer hold it in. She stood out from the crowd and pointed at Zhu Shan.
“You’re not humans, you’re animals!”
“I heard that some of you were captured by Great Chu, but they didn’t commit such atrocities.”
“They might even let him go after asking for the reason. But why are you doing this to us?”
Now that things were already set in stone, they could not escape. The young girl did not know why, but she actually burst out with the courage of a desperate situation. She wanted to rebuke him before she died and ease the hatred in her heart.
“You guys?” Zhu Shan didn’t expect this woman to still have the courage.
“Every country is different. Your Great Chu still has to abide by those strict rules, but we don’t need to. In our eyes, you are no different from animals.”
“If you had fallen into the hands of the Barbarians, it would not have been so easy. Have you ever tasted the feeling of having your flesh cut off with a knife and then watching someone else eat it?”
As he spoke, Zhu Shan’s expression became even more sinister.
“Get lost or not, it’s up to you. Get lost, and I’ll let you go.”
“I will only give you the time for one incense stick to burn. Men, put the incense stick in. I am a man of my word.”
Two soldiers walked to the front and stuck the incense sticks into the ground.
There was green smoke floating on the incense stick, but in the eyes of these women, the smoke was like a deadly poison that was slowly eating away at their spirits.
Everyone looked hesitant.
“Will you really let us go?”
“If it’s only ten laps, it’ll only be painful at most.”
A gust of wind blew past, bringing with it a chill.
The women who were not fully clothed had goosebumps and shivered.
The scene quieted down. Clearly, they were deep in thought, thinking about what they should do next.
The time it took for an incense stick to burn was neither long nor short.
If he was sitting in one place out of boredom, he would feel that time was very slow. However, when life and death were in front of him, in the blink of an eye, the incense stick burned extremely quickly.
“There isn’t much time left for you. I really want to see if you want to live or die.”Zhu Shan placed his hands behind his back, but he did not hide the excitement on his face.
In his opinion, this was a very normal thing.
Playing with the commoners of the Great Chu State was already a rule passed down in the army. Almost everyone would do this.
Sometimes, Zhu Shan would think that if the Great Yue State had strict military discipline like the Great Chu State, he would have less fun.
The incense stick was still burning, and the green smoke drifted into the black night sky.
In the darkness far away from the military camp, Xu Bai had changed his body and sensed what was happening with his soul.
His gaze was very calm, but within that calmness, there was a terrifying depth. This depth was an overwhelming killing intent.

“Hu…”
Xu Bai let out a long breath and walked toward the military camp. Every step he took covered a huge distance.
His every step was steady. He didn’t have a knife in his hand, but his killing intent didn’t decrease at all.
Tonight, he had already come here to kill.
After seeing that scene on the street in the morning, he felt like he had finally transmigrated.
