The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 136 Torture
Wu Chengyu reached out and grabbed Shi Shun's shoulder. With a snap, Shi Shun's shoulder was immediately dislocated.

"I am very dissatisfied with your answer. Let me give you a small punishment as a warning. Answer my question properly. What is your name? And who is Shi Tong and Shi Chang to you?"

“My name is Shi Shun. These two are my kinsmen. They did all the work. I was only responsible for welcoming the Jin envoys.”

"Shi Shun, this name is indeed inherited from your two brothers."

Tell me, who is the real envoy from the Jin Dynasty, and has he arrived in Hangzhou yet?

As Wu Chengyu spoke, he removed Shi Shun's other shoulder, not because he was dissatisfied with the answer, but simply for the sake of symmetry.

Shi Shun was in so much pain that his face turned pale and he was drenched in sweat, but he dared not not answer.

"The Jin envoy is their fourth prince, Wanyan Hongyu, who arrived in Hangzhou two days ago."

"This gentleman before me is Wanyan Shang, the deputy envoy of the Jin Dynasty. He is a member of the Jin royal family, and my master instructed me to personally greet him."

Wu Chengyu silently thought about the characters in The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Wanyan Honglie was the Sixth Prince, and there was also a Third Prince named Wanyan Hongxi who appeared. However, the Fourth Prince, Wanyan Hongyu, never appeared in the original work.

He took out the Qingli sword from behind his back and placed it in front of Shi Shun. Shi Shun's eyes immediately went blank upon seeing it.

"It seems you recognized it. This is Zhao Feng's Qingli Sword. This guy was also your deputy commander of the Imperial Guards. I have already killed him."

I intended to cut off his head to pay tribute to the fallen heroes, but I went a bit too far and beat him up to look even more like Pigsy from Journey to the West. I had no choice but to use this sword to make do.

And that Huyan Moluo, I smashed his skull to pieces. All your imperial guards are now dead in Suzhou.

Qiu Qianren is probably being chased to the brink of death by Hong Qigong.

But Yue Fei's army suffered heavy casualties today because of your conspiracy. Tell me, how can I deal with you to make my mind at ease?

Shi Shun dared not speak. He hadn't expected that all the experts in the palace would die, and Hong Qigong was also unharmed. However, the five-pronged ambush had achieved its intended effect. At least Yue Fei's army suffered heavy losses, but his own life was in danger.

"Come, tell me, what are some painful and long ways to die? I'm a little inexperienced in this area and need to learn from you."

"Brave warrior, spare my life! I was just following orders from above. I had no intention of harming the Yue Family Army."

"Enough with the nonsense. Tell me where the Jin people are hiding in Hangzhou right now, and what kind of conspiracy your Shi family has with them."

“Brave warrior, I really don’t know. We are all responsible for one thing each, and I have never met the Jin envoy.”

"So you're useless? Does that mean I have to give you a good talking to before you'll behave?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Chengyu grabbed Shi Shun and, in his terrified and desperate eyes, slowly dislocated every joint on his body, from his ankles, knees, elbows, and wrists.

Shi Shun's screams startled the birds and beasts in the forest, who scattered in all directions. But this guy was a bit stubborn and managed to keep quiet.

Wu Chengyu said gently, "Just now it was only your limbs. Now I'll slowly disassemble your spine, and I can even remove your pelvis. There are twenty-six vertebrae in total. I'll do it one by one from the bottom up. How many vertebraes do you think you can hold on to? I hope you can hold on for a while. Maybe in the end I can let you see your head put into your pelvis."

Shi Shun could no longer hold on, and Wu Chengyu gradually extracted all the information about the Shi family from him.

There were indeed specific people in charge of the details between the Jin state and Shi Miyuan, which Shi Shun did not know much about. As for the matter of exonerating Qin Hui, Wu Chengyu had known about it for a long time.

However, Wu Chengyu asked about all the specific information about the Shi family, the location of the Shi residence, the specific layout of the residence, who the Shi family had experts, who worked for Shi Miyuan, including Shi Miyuan's daily activities, and even some of Shi Miyuan's preferences.

While asking questions, Wu Chengyu's hands were also busy. By the time he could ask no more questions, Shi Shun's spine had been completely dislocated. Now, only his facial features could move. Snot and tears streamed down his face, and his voice grew softer and softer. Only four words could be barely heard: "I just want to die quickly."

At this point, Wu Chengyu lost patience with dealing with him and turned his attention to Wanyan Shang.

Wanyan Shang was so frightened that he lost control of his bladder. Although his acupoints were restrained, his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

His appearance was truly repulsive. He grabbed Wanyan Shang by the neck, submerged most of his body in the pool, and shook him back and forth until he had washed away most of the filth. Only then did he pull him ashore.

He released Wanyan Shang's speech-impairing pressure point, and before he could even ask a question, Wanyan Shang hurriedly begged for mercy, saying, "Brave warrior, I am a member of the royal family in the Great Jin Kingdom. As long as you spare me, you can choose from gold and silver treasures, beautiful women, high-ranking positions, and generous salaries."

As Wu Chengyu listened, he twisted the joints of his upper body, but he couldn't bring himself to touch his lower body.

"Tell me about your Fourth Prince. What kind of schemes and tricks does he have up his sleeve for this trip?"

“Brave warrior, I am not from the same faction as the Fourth Prince. He is just using me as bait. I have no idea what he is planning. I am an advisor under the Sixth Prince, Wanyan Honglie.”

Great! Finally, I heard a familiar name again. Wu Chengyu felt that the time for him to meet these characters from the original work was getting closer and closer.

"Then tell me which men the Fourth Prince brought this time, and what his preferences are?"

"I don't know the specifics, but I do know that he has more than 20 imperial guards from the Great Jin Dynasty protecting him, and he also brought more than 50 Xuanjia cavalry. As soon as he entered the territory of the Song Dynasty, he was met by experts sent by Shi Miyuan."

As for his preferences, the Fourth Prince usually chants Buddhist scriptures, is a vegetarian, and doesn't drink alcohol. However, he has a fondness for male concubines, and he brought several with him to the Song Kingdom this time.

He usually chanted Buddhist scriptures and had a fondness for male concubines. This combination was a bit novel. Wu Chengyu even regretted killing Shi Tong. It seemed that he had used up all his "I love a piece of firewood" (a euphemism for a male concubine). However, for the sake of this dignified Fourth Prince, Wu Chengyu felt that he needed to replenish his stock as soon as possible.

After Wanyan Shang finished telling everything he knew, the joints in his upper body had also been dislocated. He was in a slightly better position than Shi Tong, at least his lower body was intact. However, he was now in a state of high-level paraplegia, and naturally, he had long lost all feeling in his lower body.

Wu Chengyu knew that there must be some untrue parts in what the two people said, but that was only human nature, and he would verify it himself slowly.

But it's probably true that the Fourth Prince favored male concubines.

With things having come to this point, Wu Chengyu had no intention of lingering any longer. He pressed his hands against Wanyan Shang and Shi Shun's hearts and poured his internal energy into them.
