It’s not too much for me, the slime, to capture Xiao Wu.

Chapter 178: Parading Cixi through the streets

Time passed quietly like a silent stream, and before she knew it, Cixi's screams had lasted for several hours.

When the night slowly fell like a huge black curtain, covering the earth in darkness, most people slowly left.

At this moment, the noise at the scene receded like the tide and gradually became quiet.

With only one breath left, Cixi lay on the ground like a dead dog with its spine pulled out, looking extremely miserable.

Her clothes were ragged and stained with all kinds of filth, her hair was messy, and the makeup on her face had long been washed away by tears and sweat.

But under Lin Tian's treatment, it didn't take long for the dying body to recover.

This made her look at Lin Tian with fear in her eyes. The fear was like an abyss, as if it was going to devour her soul.

"You devil, you demon, you will not die well, you will go to the 18th level of hell." Cixi's voice was hoarse and trembling, filled with endless resentment and fear.

"Really?" Lin Tian walked forward, his posture upright, looking down at Cixi condescendingly, his eyes as cold as frost and snow in winter.

"It won't be me who goes to hell, but you."

Lin Tian's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to hit Cixi's heart like a heavy hammer.

"Today's punishment is still light. From now on, you will be paraded through the streets and come with me to the capital. Then I will torture you to death."

Lin Tian spoke the last two words very slowly, and his tone exuded an inexplicable chill, as if it came from the abyss of the underworld, making the air around him seem to condense.

Cixi was trembling all over, like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, and an expression of extreme fear appeared in her eyes.

When she thought about the horrific situation she would face next, she fell to her knees, her head banging against the ground.

"No! No, I know I was wrong, please let me go!" Cixi begged in a crying voice.

Lin Tian sneered, the mockery in his eyes was not concealed at all.

"Now you know you're afraid. Why didn't you feel regret when you made a fortune from the national crisis and indulged in pleasure?"

"Leave your plea for mercy to the Buddha. My mission is to send you to see the Buddha." Lin Tian's words were firm and decisive, without a trace of mercy.

Seeing that she was about to die, Cixi was heartbroken, and her face was distorted with despair.

Just as he was about to climb up and hug Lin Tian's thigh, unfortunately, Lin Tian dodged him nimbly.

"I...I really didn't mean it. It was all those ministers who believed the slander and condoned the evil deeds of those foreigners."

Cixi continued to quibble and try to exonerate herself.

"I'm just an old man in my 60s. I just want to spend my retirement in peace and eat good food. What's wrong with me?"

Lin Tian raised his foot and kicked Cixi out without hesitation.

The kick was so powerful that Cixi's body drew an arc in the air and fell heavily to the ground.

Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Feidie came over.

There was anger burning in her eyes, and that anger seemed to be able to burn Cixi to ashes.

"You old witch, don't make yourself sound so innocent." Xiao Feidie's voice was crisp and sharp.

"When the foreigners attacked us, not only did you refuse to pay the military expenses, you also used the military pay for your own enjoyment, causing great suffering to the people. What qualifications do you have to say this?"

Xiao Feidie became more and more excited as she spoke, pointing her finger at Cixi and her body trembling slightly.

"In my opinion, you, an old witch, deserve to die. If it weren't for Brother Lin Tian trying to punish you more, you wouldn't be alive today."

Lin Tian nodded, casually touched Xiao Feidie's head, and a smile of approval appeared on his face.

"You're right. It would be too easy for her if this old man died now."

"Next, we'll go to the capital and parade her through the streets. I want to see if you, an old man, can afford to lose this person."

Lin Tian's gaze fell on Cixi again, and that look seemed to be able to penetrate her soul.

"Besides, don't you like to eat? I'll stuff all the pig food, sweet water, and filthy things I find along the way into your mouth. As long as you don't die from eating them, I'll eat them until you die."

Seeing how vicious Lin Tian's words were, both Xiao Wu and Medusa felt a chill.

I don’t understand why Lin Tian has such a strong grudge against Cixi.

Xiao Feidie nodded excitedly, and her determined eyes seemed to say that Cixi must receive the punishment she deserved, and she decided to supervise it personally.

In this way, after locking Cixi and the emperor into the prepared carriage, everyone set off again for the capital.

And Cixi's misfortune along the way can be said to be extremely bad.

The first night she was fed half a rotten dead dog, which had a disgusting stench and was crawling with maggots.

Of course Cixi refused to eat. She closed her mouth tightly and shook her head desperately, her eyes full of disgust and fear.

However, under the threat of death, he could only eat it with hatred.

The swallowing action was difficult and painful, as if swallowing poison.

Then, whenever she passed through villages and towns, Xiao Feidie would loudly explain the other party's identity and her various evil deeds, which aroused the anger of many villagers and people.

They threw all kinds of stones, dirt, and rotten vegetable leaves at her, and rubbed her face hard on the ground.

The stones hit her, leaving bruises all over her body;

The mud stuck to her face, making her even more embarrassed;

The juice from the rotten leaves splashed on her, emitting a foul smell.

Of course, some people also notified local officials and Qing soldiers, hoping that they would come to rescue Cixi.

However, only death awaits them.

After wandering all the way like this, Cixi, who was originally a little thin, actually gained a little weight because she ate too much.

It's just that her mental state is not good. She is like a walking corpse and on the verge of collapse.

If it weren't for Lin Tian's presence, treating her from time to time, she might have died long ago.

It took seven days for everyone to finally reach the outskirts of the capital.

The news that Empress Dowager Cixi had been captured had already reached the capital.

This made the officials in the city furious, and they decisively agreed to the contract terms that were originally under discussion.

The price is to help them rescue the Empress Dowager and kill these traitors.

So when Lin Tian approached the capital, what came into his sight were 100,000 Qing troops and 20,000 troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance.
