At that time, he could be said to be the most outstanding figure among the nobility of Southern Borderlands. Not only was he talented in both civil and military arts, but he also had a prominent family background. Many noble young ladies were infatuated with him.
People at the time spontaneously called him Shao Xin the Jade Faced Gentleman.
However, he only had eyes for one person - Yuan Meng, the princess of Southern Borderlands at that time.
Yuan Meng was not only beautiful, but also smart and good at military affairs.
Shao Xin felt that in the entire Southern Borderlands, only the princess could match him.
Yuan Meng also thought highly of herself. In her eyes, in the whole of Southern Borderlands, only Shao Xin was quite outstanding.
Shao Xin was over the moon to gain the princess' favor. It could be said that he got what he wished for, and devoted all his heart to Yuan Meng.
Until one day, Mo Qing's appearance broke their beautiful dreams.
From then on, Yuan Meng no longer treated him well. She even asked him to help her win Mo Qing's heart.
Facing such a request from the woman he loved, Shao Xin was helpless.
However, in order to fulfill the wish of the woman he loved, he could only go against his conscience to do things, hoping that Yuan Meng would eventually see his blind infatuation and turn back.
Who knew that after several setbacks, Yuan Meng was still obsessed with Mo Qing. She even became an accomplice to his evil deeds.
No matter who was at fault, the woman he loved eventually still died at Mo Qing's hands.
Yuan Meng might not love him, but as long as she was alive, he could see her at any time. But Mo Qing took away his hopes and dreams with one mistake.
Since this was the case, all those surnamed Mo had to accompany his beloved to her grave.
After Yuan Meng's death, Shao Xin was devastated overnight and his hair turned white.
In order to avenge his beloved woman, he reluctantly sold off all his family possessions to find a master to teach him Gu sorcery.
When his family found out that he had secretly sold all their assets, they angrily disowned him.
Not only that, he also paid a heavy price to become a first-rate Gu master.
For example, he was no longer a fully intact man...
Back then, he found the number one Gu master in Southern Borderlands to teach him Gu techniques. He gave all the silver earned from selling his possessions to his master.
As a result, his master told him that his Yang energy was too strong, and it was unlikely that he could become a top Gu master.
In order to avenge Yuan Meng, he self-castrated to make the Yang energy in his body weaker.
It could be said that in order to avenge his beloved woman, he had been plotting for many years and paid a great price.
He once swore that on the anniversary of Yuan Meng's death, he would take all the Mo men to her grave to worship and comfort her spirit in heaven.
Over the years, he had schemed step by step to today. He did not expect that at the most critical moment, he would stumble.
He had thought that after capturing Mo Jiuye and finding the missing Mo Chongyuan, all the Mo men would be gathered.
Unexpectedly, at the most critical moment, everything no longer went according to his plan. Not only did he fail to catch Mo Jiuye, even the Mo men he had in his grasp disappeared one after another.
In the past few days, not counting Mo Jiuye, two more had appeared before his eyes.
From this, it seemed that the other missing Mo men had also been rescued. It was just that they did not show up in front of him this time.
Thinking of this, feelings of despair had already filled his heart.
At this moment, he just wanted to die and let the Mo family never find Mo Qing and his son.
It was just that looking at the current situation, he knew it was impossible for him to die.
Si Meng tried to calm his mind and asked, "What exactly do you want?"
Mo Jiuye sneered, "Do I need to spell out what I want so clearly?"
Si Meng let out a series of cold laughs, "Hehe... Anyway I can't live anymore, so go ahead and make your move!"
He was convinced that he could withstand their torture as long as he stubbornly refused to reveal the whereabouts of Mo Qing and Mo Family Eldest Son. Then he could drag them down to hell together.
Mo Jiuye had already anticipated that Si Meng would not confess so easily. Rather than wasting time here talking nonsense with him, it would be better to be more straightforward.
Thinking of this, he reached into his robe and took out a bag of itching powder. He did not even make a pretense of threatening, and directly sprinkled it on Si Meng's body.
Si Meng was a master of poisons after all. He had already remembered the smell of this itching powder. When Mo Jiuye opened the medicine packet, he wanted to say something. However, Mo Jiuye did not give him the slightest chance to speak.
The unbearable itch instantly spread all over Si Meng's body, causing him to let out a laugh even more unpleasant than crying. His head jerked up violently, as if wanting to hit the carriage roof.
Mo Jiuye and Mo Chongyuan were watching him closely. How could they possibly give him such a chance?
Mo Chongyuan didn't hesitate and immediately went up to cover Si Meng's mouth, not even giving him a chance to vent with his voice.
Si Meng's eyes were full of pain, and he even shed tears.
Both Mo Jiuye and Mo Chongyuan could feel that Si Meng was definitely suffering horribly right now.
However, compared to what he had done to the Mo men and his subordinates, this little bit of suffering was like a drizzle.
Mo Jiuye's eyes turned blood red. He took out another small porcelain bottle.
This was also given to him by He Zhiran. It was medicine that could make wounds fester.
However, He Zhiran had modified it slightly. When poured on the body, the medicine could only accelerate the festering of wounds, even exposing the bones, but would not spread.
Such medicine would not endanger Si Meng's life. It could still make him suffer horribly.
Especially the appearance after the wounds festered was simply too horrifying to look at directly.
Mo Jiuye forcibly grabbed Si Meng's white hair and made him sit up straight.
Then he poured the medicine on the wound on his leg. From this angle, Si Meng could see it very clearly.
His purpose was to make the old fox personally watch as his own flesh festered bit by bit until the bones were exposed.
Si Meng's expression became increasingly frightened. However, he had absolutely no ability to resist. He could only endure the terrible itch and be at their mercy.
Mo Chongyuan also saw Mo Jiuye's intentions. He went forward and tore open Si Meng's pants, exposing the scars they had beaten onto his legs.
Mo Jiuye shook the medicine bottle in front of Si Meng's eyes and said in a low voice, "Do you know what this is?"
Although Si Meng did not know exactly what it was, he could be certain it was something to torture him.
Thinking of everything he had suffered these past two days, Si Meng was truly afraid.
He wanted to beg for mercy, to make up some excuses to fool them about Mo Qing and Mo Family Eldest Son's whereabouts. But his mouth was blocked and he simply could not express himself. He could only stare at Mo Jiuye in terror and let out a series of whimpers.
Mo Jiuye could see that the old fox was begging for mercy with these actions. But he had no intention of letting his enemy off.
