She sighed, told Ye Yi to stop first, and then said to Zhan Beihan: "You can't find out if you interrogate him like this, and Zhao Yongchang won't say anything even if he is tortured to death."

Zhan Beihan heard the clue: "Do you have any idea?"

Xiao Lingyue said: "It's hard to say, but you can try."

The man looked at her deeply, nodded and said, "Okay, you go and try. If it doesn't work, let Yoichi come."

He sneered, with a murderous intent in his tone: "I don't believe it, even if I chop off his body piece by piece, he can still bear it!"

Zhao Yongchang was a good city lord and a good official who cared deeply for the people.

But it is a pity that he is a good official of Nanyan, and he is also the lord of Weishui City, an important border city of Nanyan.

During the border conflict between Southern Yan and Northern Qin, Weishui City was like an unshakable giant mountain, blocking the entrance of Southern Yan and blocking the Northern Qin army from it, making it impossible to move forward for several months.

This is all due to the city lord Zhao Yongchang.

Because he loved the people, the people of Weishui City also trusted and loved him. At the critical moment, the people of the whole city fought together with the defenders. As one united, the morale was frighteningly high.

Because of this, in the conflict between Southern Yan and Northern Qin, Northern Qin did not take advantage, but lost troops and generals in Weishui City.

Zhan Beihan was not on the battlefield at that time, but he had heard about the situation in Weishui City.

From Northern Qin's point of view, he did not have the slightest fondness for the Weishui City Lord. Instead, he had a murderous intention - such a loyal and capable border city lord, who was also good at winning people's hearts, would do Northern Qin no harm at all!

It’s better to kill him as soon as possible to avoid any harm later!

Xiao Lingyue is not as clear-cut as Zhan Beihan. She prioritizes eradicating all those who are harmful to Northern Qin. She is willing to stand by Zhan Beihan just because he has nothing to do with Northern Qin.

Putting aside the hatred between the two countries, she actually admires people like Zhao Yongchang. Even foolish loyalty is better than a wallflower who can act according to the changing circumstances.

Xiao Lingyue walked over, knelt down under Zhao Yongchang's fierce and resentful glare, took out a bottle of powder to stop bleeding and sprinkled it on his severed finger.

"City Master Zhao, we have no ill intentions towards you. We are just here to find out the truth. We are all working for the master above. Why should we fight to the death? How about each of us doing our own thing?"

Zhao Yongchang sneered and said: "Okay! How about you kill yourself immediately and use the head on your neck for my convenience?"

Xiao Lingyue smiled indifferently: "I'm afraid you can't afford our heads. How about replacing them with the heads of your daughter and your grandson? What do you think?"

Zhao Yongchang suddenly changed his face and struggled like an enraged beast: "What did you say? Say it again!"

The two secret guards held him tightly and he almost broke free.

"Don't get excited. I know that your daughter and your grandson are not in Weishui City. We haven't bothered them for the time being. They are all fine, so don't worry."

Xiao Lingyue's lips curved slightly, and her dark eyes looked at him calmly.

Her eyes did not carry murderous intent, but revealed a chilling chill that made the furious Zhao Yongchang freeze and slowly calm down.

Xiao Lingyue said: "Before coming to Nanyan, I specifically investigated the past experience of City Lord Zhao. You are forty years old this year and were born into a very large family. Your biological father was just a down-and-out scholar who relied on writing letters and copying books.

To make a living, his mother has been sick all year round, his family is in a bad situation, and he has been bullied by others in his clan.

But you have been smart and outstanding since you were a child, and you vowed to get a good reputation to help your parents, and you did it.

Twenty-three years ago.
