On the cracked street, an old white-haired woman, Xue Gu, said on the side: "Ji Ning Gongzi, Jiang He offended you and should be put to death. However, considering hes still young, can his life be spared?" Even in tribal wars, it was possible to exchange some captured important figures lives with goods.
Ji Ning looked at her coldly without saying a word.
Xue Gus eyebrows furrowed deeply in an instant. She knew that Ji Ning Gongzis mind to kill Jiang He was now unchangeable.
"Whats going on?"
"How did the city gate collapse?"
"What happened in the riverside village?"
"Look, that young man is surrounded by a group of black-armored guards. Hes probably a big shot from the Ji family." Some foreigners who came to Jiangbian City to trade goods and people from the Jiangbian tribe were all gathered here.
Xue Gu saw the situation and immediately shouted: "Let unrelated people roll away."
"Yes."
The group of warriors from the riverside village immediately followed orders and started to drive away both foreigners and their own people, prohibiting them from getting too close.
"Get out of the way!"
"Get out of the way!"
Only to see a team of armored guards rushing from the distant streets, each holding heavy weapons such as bows and crossbows, led by core figures from the Jiangbian tribe. Apparently, they had heard those sounds earlier and were afraid of enemy forces, so they all brought their own troops to rush over quickly.
"Snow Granny." A white-haired old man led the team and rushed over, seeing Snow Girl bowing respectfully.
Xue Gu just took a glance.
A group of armored guards approached, and one by one, the core members of the tribe from the riverside village came over.
"Whoosh!" A black shadow also swiftly came over, stopping only when it was close to the armored guard squad. Those armored guards still wanted to block this black shadow. But as soon as the black shadow stopped, they were startled and jumped: "Tribe leader!"
Jiang Sansis face was cold, and he dragged a handsome young man directly through the crowd. The core members of the family looked at Jiang He in confusion. This Jiang He was one of Jiang Sansis grandsons and was quite favored by him. In the tribe, he was also ranked among the top ten, so why did the patriarch drag him over?
"Bang!" Jiang Sansi threw it directly.
Jiang He fell directly to the ground, his face scraping against the shattered rocks, and his body was covered in dust. He quickly got up and looked around, soon locking onto the beast skin-clad youth surrounded by the Black Armor Guards.
"Ji Ning Gongzi has been brought here." Jiang San and Xue Gu stood together.
"Is this Jiang He?" Ji Ning scrutinized Jiang He, and couldnt help but think of the poor Chun Cao, her heart involuntarily surging with a murderous impulse!
Jiang He could feel the power that Ji Ning Gongzi carried, in front of Ji Ning Gongzi... even the clan leader and Xue Lao Lao had to bow their heads.
"Jiang He has seen the young master." Jiang He said respectfully.
"Jiang He... Jiang He..." Ji Ning murmured softly, but her eyes were like sharp knives falling on the young man in front of her. "Do you know why Im looking for you?"
Ji Nings voice was very soft.
Ke Jianghe felt a chill in his heart as he listened, and he could sense the murderous intent hidden in Ji Nings voice!
"I dont know." Jiang He stared at Ji Ning, "Young Master Ji Ning, are you going to kill me?"
"Right." Ji Ning nodded.
All around was quiet.
Jiang Sansi and Xue Gu just looked on, the other core members of the Jiangbian tribe also just watched from the side, they all saw... that this Ji Ning Gongzi had overwhelming authority, even the tribal leaders could only submit, and his desire to kill Jiang He was obviously very strong, they were also silently sighing... the glorious Jiang He, today will die!
"Prince Ji Ning wants me dead, and I have no choice but to die." Jiang Hes handsome face showed no fear as he looked at Ji Ning, "I just dont know why you want to kill me?"
"Why kill you?" Ji Ning looked at him.
Wow.
Ji Ning suddenly appeared with the Northern Ming Sword, and in a flash of sword light, it directly pointed at Jiang Hes body. This instantly triggered a suppressed cry of surprise, but Jiang He did not dodge. The nearby Jiang San Si and Xue Gu also just calmly looked on, even if Ji Ning had killed Jiang He with one sword, they would not have said anything more.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Six blood holes appeared on Jiang Hes body, with fresh blood flowing out. The blood holes were only in non-vital areas such as his shoulders and legs.
"Ah!" Jiang Hes eyes widened, "She... she is your..."
"Do you understand?" Ji Ning looked at him.
He stabbed out six blood holes with his swordsmanship, which was the swordsmanship of Chun Cao Hui. When Jiang He ordered his servants to catch Chun Cao earlier, Chun Cao relied on his swordsmanship to beat a group of servants half to death and then left.
"A woman, Lord Ji Ning, you want to kill me for a woman? Women are just goods and wealth." Jiang He shouted unwillingly, "I am willing to offer ten or a hundred women to the lord, let alone she is just a slave, I am willing to do anything, just beg the lord to spare my life."
"In my eyes, you are not even worth a single hair of hers." Ji Ning said coldly.
Jiang Hes face turned iron-green, and he immediately pulled out a short knife from his bosom. In a low voice, he said: "Gongzi Ji Ning, Jiang He has offended you, Gongzi, and deserves to die. No need to dirty your hands, Ill do it myself." As he spoke, he stabbed the knife towards his own heart.
Clang!
A sword blade collided with the short knife, sending it flying.
"You actually want to die so cleanly?" Ji Ning stared at Jiang He, "She died in what kind of pain and humiliation! How could I let you die so easily?"
Jiang He gritted his teeth as he stared at Ji Ning.
Ji Ning shouted: "Mang Wu."
"Prince." Mo Wu charged out first.
"Exile him." Ji Ning said coldly, "Hang him from the city gate of the Jiangbian tribe."
Jiang Hes face turned pale.
Exposure punishment, generally involves tying up the persons hands and feet and hanging them up, without food or drink, being scorched by the sun. Earlier, Ji Ning had also opened six blood holes on Jiang Hes body, with Jiang Hes vitality, he naturally wouldnt die from bleeding, but the flowing blood would attract some flying birds, which would peck at Ji Nings flesh from time to time.
Tortured to death by hunger, suffering and panic...
Moreover, he would also be surrounded by countless people of his clan, and the sense of spiritual humiliation made Jiang He, a proud person, even more painful.
"Yes." Mo Wu Xun found an iron chain from the side and started binding Jiang He, who knelt down with his head lowered and didnt dare to make a sound.
"Father!" A shrill cry rang out, and a young child burst forth from the crowd.
"Scram." Jiang He saw the young child running over and angrily shouted, "Scram, get back here."
"Father." The young child cried, his father had forced him to practice sword fighting, but he was extremely doting on him.
Jiang Sansi frowned nearby: "Take the child away!"
"Yes."
Two of the Jias guards rushed out and grabbed the child, who was struggling wildly while staring at Ji Ning with eyes full of hatred.
Ji Ning calmly looked at the child, when he was very young his father Ji Yi Chuan made him practice bravery by killing some death row prisoners, and he had seen even more terrifying eyes. In Xifucheng seeing those slaves being sold... whether it was numbness, despair, madness, hatred, or pleading, which kind of eye expression hadnt he seen?
"Hang him on the city gate." Mo Wu also asked two black armored guards for help.
Jiang He, completely bound by iron chains, had his hair disheveled and was being stared at by some of his clansmen. The eyes of the clansmen were filled with a mixture of pity and schadenfreude, causing Jiang Hes humiliated body to tremble uncontrollably.
"Prince." Mo Wu said in a low voice to Ji Ning, "That Jiang Hes son... when cutting grass, one must remove the roots!"
Ji Ning gave Mo Wu a cold glance.
Mo Wu Lian lowered his head and didnt dare say another word.
"These past few days, Ive been living in Jiangbian City." Ji Ning looked at Jiang Santi and Xue Gu beside him. "Dont bother yourselves, Ill be staying directly at the Black Armor Guards garrison. Ill watch as Jiang He slowly dies; once hes dead, Ill leave."
The people of the surrounding tribal core felt a tremble in their bodies, each sensing the hatred contained in Ji Nings voice.
……
Jiang He was initially fine under the scorching sun, but later some birds pecked at his skin and flesh, and the intense heat caused his skin to crack completely, revealing red blood and flesh. The pain was simply hellish.
Because there is internal energy in his body, Jiang Hes vitality is very strong, but this is a kind of suffering.
The whole person was scorched with cracked skin and bursting flesh, suffering in agony for three days and two nights before finally dying.
Jining has always been a city by the river.
It wasnt until Hei Jia Wei reported to him that Jiang He had died in agony that Ji Ning coldly glanced at Jiang Hes broken corpse, and then left with Mo Wu and Qiu Ye riding three black panthers.
******
Ji Ning left Jiangbian Cheng on that day at dusk.
Jiang Sansi sat quietly in front of the bar, calmly holding a beast-shaped wine cup and drinking.
A child is kneeling in the hall.
"Adopted son." Jiang San thought, holding up his wine cup with a beasts head on it, "Ill ask you again, do you want to kill Ji Ning young master?"
"I dont dare to, I really dont dare." The young child knelt down and repeatedly said.
*sigh*
Jiang Sansi shook his head and whispered softly, "Your hatred is a calamity for the Jiangbian tribe!"
"Come in." Jiang Sansi shouted.
"Master." A servant came in and knelt down.
"Uh-huh."
"Have all of Jiang Hes servants killed, not a single one left! And have Jiang Hes women sold as slaves!"
"Tribe leader." The young child was anxious, but he had his mother after all.
"And him." Jiang Sansi gazed at the young child with indifference. "Jiang Hes only son... will also be sold as a slave!"
"No."
"No!" The child knelt down hastily, "Tribal elder, spare me, spare me."
"Yes!" The servant bowed and obeyed, stepped forward, grabbed the child with one hand, picked him up, and immediately retreated.
The child is still struggling, crying and shedding tears.
Slave?
Why!
Why is it like this!
Watching the child cry out in pain and weep, Jiang Sansi remained silent.
"Master, are Jiang Hes wife and child also sold as slaves?" A dark figure emerged from the silent and dimly lit hall.
Jiang Sansi nodded slightly, and when Jiang He was exposed to the sun, Jiang Sansi had already sent someone to secretly ask Jiang He... Only then did he learn that the original source was Miwa from the Black Tooth tribe! Jiang Sansi also sent someone to the Black Tooth tribe to find Black Tooth to inquire about it, only then did he understand everything. As a result, all the servants who had some understanding of this matter were killed.
"Ji Ning doesnt want the matter of Chun Cao to spread." Jiang San Si said indifferently, "Chun Cao had previously claimed to be a servant of the Ji familys young master, and everyone who heard these words would have been put to death."
"Those women of Jiang Hu, keeping them is also useless."
"Jiang Hes only son, Cai Er, has too much hatred for Ji Ning. I asked him several times, although he didnt say it out loud. But how could a child deceive me? I saw through his heart with one glance, he has long been filled with hatred for Ji Ning. Jiang San Si shook his head, "At such a young age, he already knows how to hide his thoughts. In the future, once he takes control of the tribes power, with his hatred for Ji Ning, it will likely bring disaster to our Jiangbian Tribe!"
"Im doing this to let the Ji family know of our Jiangbian tribes loyalty!"
The dark figure is silent.
"Fold three." Jiang Sansi spoke up.
"Master." The dark figure replied.
"You send Zhe out." Jiang San said, "Secretly take Caier away and send him to the territory of Tie Mus clan. Let him join a small tribe at will. Let him teach Caier well! If Caier has talent and can work hard, then let him teach well. If Caier forgets his hatred quickly and doesnt work hard to cultivate, kill Caier and let him come back."
"Yes." The dark figure nodded.
"Hatred... is also a kind of power." Jiang Sansi whispered, "Our Jiangbian tribe and the Ji clan are... too weak, too weak."
