As he said that, he actually raised three fingers as if to swear.【】
Zhong Qingye stared at him motionless, his eyes were like black crystals, and like ancient black-gold swords with a cold light. When he looked up at them, they could chill people's hearts.
Black Eagle's back curled up uncontrollably, and all the white hairs on his body stood up. He was wailing in his heart, regretting that he shouldn't have asked that question. He raised his finger and was about to swear, when Zhong Qingye stretched out his hand and waved lightly.
He smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I didn't misunderstand Qi Mo. What's more, swearing is something that depends on whether you believe it or not. It has no practical effect."
Black Eagle smiled awkwardly, put down his hands and sat down, his eyes scanning her indifferent face without any trace.
After returning four years later, Zhong Qingye seems to have changed a lot. From the appearance alone, it can only be said that the delicate facial features in the past have become more calm and serene. The look between his eyebrows has become calmer and indifferent, and the expression on his face has become more peaceful.
Perfection is like a mask, sadness and joy are like washing away all emotions.
She smiled slightly but remained silent. Compared with the decisive and playful woman four years ago, she looked more like a holy statue enshrined in the Daughter's Temple. Although beautiful, it was a little more inviolable.
However, there is a saying that is very beautiful, it is easy to change the situation, but the nature is hard to change. No matter how calm and peaceful Zhong Qingye's appearance is, he can't get rid of the unruly nature brought about by his bones. Just that look in his eyes was enough to peek into all her temperament.
Black Eagle slowly exhaled a breath, feeling extremely lucky for some reason in his heart.
Fortunately, she was the one chosen by the master five years ago.
"Well..." Seeing that Zhong Qingye didn't speak for a long time, Black Eagle scratched his head nervously, "If there's nothing wrong..."
Zhong Qingye shook his head. "I have something to tell you."
"Ah? Oh!...What's going on?"
Zhong Qingye's eyebrows furrowed slightly, then relaxed quickly, "Qi Mu sent troops to sneak attack Jingyang City a few days ago. What was the result?"
"What, so that's what you wanted to ask." Hearing what she said, Black Eagle breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and his tense expression relaxed a lot. "Actually, there is nothing to say at all, and there is no thrill at all.
Those people sent by Qi Mu didn't even touch the walls of Jingyang City, and they were completely wiped out."
After Qi Mo started his army, Wu Ying's address to Qi Mu changed from the respectful "Emperor" to a direct name. Zhong Qingye didn't know what he felt in his heart. He just heard that the whole army was wiped out for no reason.
He frowned. "Didn't you even capture a single prisoner?"
Black Eagle gave her a strange look. "Of course we have captured a lot of prisoners. We can't kill all the tens of thousands of people, right? The military order implemented by the master has always been to not kill those who surrender."
"Among those people, are there anyone with a high status, similar to a captain? Or someone who is different from ordinary soldiers?"
The incomprehensible expression on Black Eagle's face became even thicker, as if he couldn't understand why Zhong Qingye asked this. Zhong Qingye also wanted to explain, but looked at him with bright eyes.
The handling and treatment of prisoners of war in ancient times were generally cruel and bloody, and no one would deliberately record which prisoners of war there were. Black Eagle frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly slapped his thigh and said in surprise: "Hey! There really are some!"
"Really?!" Zhong Qingye was also surprised, but he didn't expect that his casual mention actually turned out to be true.
Black Eagle nodded. "If you don't ask, I have forgotten. Among the captured prisoners, there were three very strange men. They went to the battlefield without wearing armor or weapons. They kept saying that they were not soldiers. They were simply handcuffed. At that time, they captured
The soldiers who came back were still laughing at whether Qi Mu had found a few sour scholars to increase his numbers."
Zhong Qingye hurriedly asked: "Then is he still alive now?"
This made Black Eagle stunned. He scratched his hair and said with an uncertain look: "They should still be alive, because they really don't look like soldiers. The guards in the dungeon probably won't torture them... But I also
There is no way to confirm, because the three of them are indeed among the soldiers, maybe they are spies sent by Qi Mu, in which case they may be severely tortured, and I don’t know if they are still alive now.”
Zhong Qingye suddenly slammed the table and stood up. "Where are they being held? Take me there!"
"Ah?!" Black Eagle was startled and subconsciously looked at the sky outside, "Now?"
"Now!" Zhong Qingye affirmed.
Black Eagle frowned and shook his head: "You can't do it now. The master has ordered that you can't go out because of the cold weather after nightfall. If you can, if they are not dead yet, I will bring them here tomorrow."
"I can put on more clothes, let's go now!"
Black Eagle also stood up and said with a playful smile: "Madam, please don't embarrass me. The secret of the dungeon construction. Your token hasn't come down yet. You can't get in without me to guide you. Okay, now it's over.
It’s late, you should have something to eat and have a rest, I promise to bring you the person tomorrow.”
He said it easily, but with a firm tone. Zhong Qingye knew Black Eagle well. Although this man was a bit careless on weekdays, he would never give in once the bottom line was touched. Since he said so, she didn't insist anymore.
reason.
Zhong Qingye could only nod. Black Eagle had always been very good at adapting to the changing circumstances. Upon seeing this, he immediately handed over and left, running out of the door in a hurry.
Zhong Qingye sat down slowly and poured himself a glass of water. Before he started drinking, he couldn't help coughing in a low voice. He reached out and hugged his shoulders, feeling a bit chilly.
Her intuition and all judgments told her that the sneak attack arranged by Qi Mu was too strange, and there were too many things that couldn't be justified at all. This had to make her suspect that Qi Mu's purpose in arranging this sneak attack might not be...
War, but some other reason.
But this was just a counter-test of hers, and so far she couldn't find any supporting evidence, so even though Black Eagle's doubts were so obvious, she couldn't explain it clearly to him.
Hearing Black Eagle say that something was really wrong with the captured soldiers, Zhong Qingye instantly felt that those three men might be the key to the sneak attack, so he was impatient to see them immediately.
It's a pity that Wu Ying's loyalty to Qi Mo is too high, and although she is a second-grade general, she can't freely enter and exit those military important places until the general's order is issued, let alone she doesn't even know where the dungeon is built.
The only way is to wait until Black Hawk brings those three people here tomorrow, and then everyone will know whether they are right or wrong.
