My Wife Is A General Who Killed Tens Of Thousands On The Battlefield Chapter 145: A Better Place

Chapter 145: A Better Place

After Su Wen finished talking to Si Tu, the other party gave him a strange look.
"What's wrong, Uncle Si? Is there a problem with what I said?"
Si Tu shook his head in response, "No."
While he spoke so, Si Tu actually felt a chill in his heart.
For martial artists, closed-door cultivation was a common thing.
However, cultivating didn't mean that one just sat there and did nothing. They would meditate, circulate their cultivation methods, comprehend martial skills, and when bored, could even move their bodies and perform shadow boxing.
However, Su Wen's rule was to completely strip Xue Wanjun of his freedom.
Not only was he locked in a room, but he was also deprived of the freedom to sleep and turn around.
The thought of staring there, staring at the wall, but unable to do anything, unable to speak, unable to move, unaware of day or night, and only have endless waiting.
"Perhaps from today onwards, the Secret Shadow Guards no longer need to resort to torture."
Si Tu muttered softly.
Su Wen smiled and said, "Before that, I still have to meet my great Deacon Xue and provoke him a little."
"You go…" As far as Si Tu was concerned, Xue Wanjun's breakdown was only a matter of time.
He was completely relieved now.
After Su Wen left, Si Tu sighed softly. "This brat is even more vicious than his father when he was young…"
In the Secret Shadow Guards' prison.
Xue Wanjun lay on the straw bedding with a carefree expression, not at all anxious.
At this moment, the cell door opened and Su Wen walked in.
Xue Wanjun said with a smile, "What? Is Lord Su here to release me?"
Su Wen waved his hand and a secret guard brought a chair over. Su Wen sat down and leaned on the cell door.
He asked with a smile, "Lord Xue, are you going to confess?"
"Confess? What should I be confessing?" Xue Wanjun had a disdainful expression. "I didn't commit any crimes, so what's there to confess?"
Su Wen said, "Then let me give Lord Xue a reminder. Li Prefecture! Hong Sanqian! Lu Qingcai!"
Xue Wanjun shook his head. "I don't understand what you're saying."
This guy was playing dumb.
Su Wen bent down and looked through the cell door. His eyes were filled with ruthlessness as he said softly, "Lord Xue is forcing me to use some tricks on you."
Xue Wanjun gritted his teeth and said, "Go ahead! I didn't do anything anyway!"
Su Wen straightened his body, stood up, and said with a smile, "Lord Xue, think about it carefully. Your crime might not be a death sentence. If you confess and can pull out the radish and bring it out of the mud, it will be considered a meritorious deed. I guarantee you won't die! That's all I have to say. Lord Xue, think about it carefully."
Contrary to Xue Wanjun's expectations, Su Wen didn't torture him, but stood up and left instead.
"Oh right, Lord Xue, I have to inform you that you won't be able to get out for a while. Feng Baichuan is not as useful as my Uncle Si. His Majesty has ordered you to cooperate with the investigation. If you don't cooperate and get killed accidentally, don't blame me!"
Su Wen left, leaving Xue Wanjun in confusion.
The next morning, Xue Wanjun was brought to a room.
After entering, Xue Wanjun discovered that this room was very simple. However, compared to the prison, this room had a special feature—it didn't have any windows! Moreover, many lamps were lit within the room, illuminating the room to the extreme!
There was a bed and a chair in the room.
At first glance, the conditions were much better than in a prison cell.
Xue Wanjun laughed in his heart. 'This Su Wen really thinks he's so great, but it turns out that Lord Feng is still helping me, getting such good conditions for me. What can he do to me even if I'm stuck for a long time in this room?'
Just then, Su Wen came in and explained all the rules clearly.
In the end, Su Wen smiled and said, "Lord Xue, I've already told you the rules here. This isn't difficult, right? If you don't cooperate, these people will treat you as not cooperating with the investigation. When the time comes, I won't be able to do anything if they kill you."
Xue Wanjun sneered. "Isn't it just that you can't move around? What's so great about that?!"
As he spoke, he walked to the chair and sat down.
Su Wen turned to look at the two guards and said in a deep voice, "There are people watching your actions outside. If you break the rules, you will be executed immediately!"
He wasn't lying. There was an observation hole above this house.
Someone else was in charge of observing!
The reason for that was because it was also extremely uncomfortable for the people watching over the prisoner as well. Although they could change shifts, in order to prevent anyone from violating the rules, they had to set up other observations.
The guards in charge had a cold expression. Everyone knew that Su Wen was not joking!
After instructing the guards, Su Wen smiled and said to Xue Wanjun, "Then, Deacon Xue, you can slowly stay here. Once you've thought it through, you can get them to look for me. It's not against the rules."
After Su Wen left, Xue Wanjun sat on the chair and stared at the wall.
At first, he was still thinking about some things in his mind. After some time, he became a little frustrated.
He wanted to move.
However, the two people beside him were staring at him with their four eyes!
How long has it been? How much time had passed?
Xue Wanjun fell into a daze.
After an unknown period of time had passed, the guards changed shifts. There appeared another two expressionless men who stood on either side of Xue Wanjun after entering the room, their four eyes staring fixedly at him.
The third shift brought food. While eating… Xue Wanjun wanted to dawdle for a while, but before he could finish eating, the caretaker forcefully took the food away. He could only continue to stare at the wall without moving.
His desire to live started to clash with the desire to move…
Xue Wanjun, who had lost his sense of time, suddenly realized that… this was worse than being beaten up for 10 rounds.
Most importantly, he had no idea how long this torture would last… one day… two days? Ten or eight days? How long has it been now?
The unknown was the most terrifying!
Xue Wanjun's will began to erode.
"Hu!" The two guards who had changed shifts heaved a sigh of relief.
"F*ck! This is too uncomfortable!"
"That Old Xue can really hold on."
"It's killing me. It's only been two hours, and I feel like it's taking longer than usual… I'd rather guard the gate for a day than go in."
"At first, I thought that it was a f*cking easy job. 24 people rotating to only watch someone, so I fought with all my might to get a slot. In the end, I can't even move or speak. I've only been standing there for two hours and I feel like dying. Old Xue, you have to hurry up and give in…"
"This commander is really skilled!"
"Too ruthless."
These hidden guards were also extremely uncomfortable, so much so that there was one time when someone "forgot" to take over in the middle of the night, resulting in a big fight. But this was all in the future.
Su Wen didn't care about this anymore. What he only needed to do now was to wait for the day when Xue Wanjun could not hold on anymore!
After exiting the Secret Shadow Guard, Su Wen felt relaxed. Seeing that his investigations had already begun, he was very happy. The innocent citizens of Li Prefecture had eyes that yearned to live. Su Wen did not forget the corpses lying by the roadside, did not forget their despair, and did not forget the numbed expressions of those who sold themselves as slaves.
Feeling the sunlight after the rain, Su Wen smiled. "Although I'm not a good person, I still hope that this world can be a better place. Only then can I live comfortably."
Beside him, Zhao Jin grinned, "Well said, Young Master!"
