Unable To Withstand Such Torture

Hearing what the Emperor said, Chu Yi flicked at his broadsword and beamed revealing his white teeth at Zhao Qian. "How should we do this, Old Qian? Do you need me to help you up?"

Zhao Qian, who had also heard his master's orders, was already weak in the knees. He almost fell to the ground, but when he saw Chu Yi expecting a good show from him, Zhao Qian forced himself to stand with an astonishing amount of willpower.

He wiped his face and pretending not to notice the look of delight on Chu Yi's face. Instead, he started singing the lyrics from a Chinese Peking opera, "My strength plucked up the hills, my might shadowed the world, clang clang clang…" [TN: The lyrics are from 'Song of Gaixia', a song composed by Xiang Yu in despair and sorrow while he was trapped by Liu Bang's forces at Gaixia.] 

He sang while walking to the interrogation room.

Chu Yi's lips twitched even more. He hated it most when Zhao Qian started singing.
