Hearing the commotion among the prisoners below the dungeon, the drunken Wu Zhang with missing front teeth became angry: "Yijin, you ask Chen Guanxi and Zhao Suo to take care of them, why don't you let them sleep in the middle of the night?"
"Here." Wang Yijin returned to the dungeon to inform Zhao Suo and Chen Guanxi. Seeing some prisoners yelling randomly, Zhao Suo sneered and hit the wooden fence of the prison cell of the Tatar prisoners with a torch, threatening: "Scream again, I am
I can justifiably burn you to death, you are a bunch of stinky barbarians, you are no better than pigs or dogs.”
The prisoners quickly realized that this man was a cruel official, and stopped shouting one after another. Some Tartars did not dare to speak. After all, they were all Northern Tartars and not Badener's confidants. The prisoners sat on the ground in silence in response.
"Quanyi, you just need to be whipped." Zhao Suo said to Wang Yijin, who nodded in agreement, while Chen Guanxi looked at the sleeping Zhang Xiaowu and guessed the motive for the murder.
At dawn the next day, the team leader who was missing his front teeth finally woke up. He suddenly remembered last night, and suddenly he broke out in a cold sweat. He shouted: "One pound, one pound, Wang Yijin, where did you die?"
"Here." The young jailer trotted over.
"Hurry up and report to Chief Gao Shi that Badener was beaten to death. By the way, who killed him? That bastard's hands are extremely strong, otherwise he wouldn't have let me suffer. I think I was also able to tear apart dogs with my hands back then.
Sergeant, who knew how unlucky it would be to meet such a murderous god." The captain couldn't help laughing, revealing the missing teeth that Badener punched out not long ago.
Wang Yijin hurriedly answered: "That Baden'er was killed by his fellow Beiyi scouts, and his brains were beaten out."
"That kid from Beiyi who was captured by the scouts almost died of illness and starvation. It took him seven days to eat just one bowl of porridge. He can also kill people?" The team leader with missing front teeth became suspicious, "I would rather believe that he died of illness on his own."
Jailer Zhao Suo also ran over and said: "Captain, he really killed the person. Chen Guanxi and I saw it with our own eyes. The boy was still sleeping after killing the person." Chen Guanxi on the side also nodded quickly.
The captain of the team with missing front teeth ordered: "Wang Yijin, you go and report, Chen Guanxi, Zhao Suo, you follow me to see that person."
The warden was frightened and at a loss after hearing the order, and could only report the matter to the superiors. Su Yu, the commander of the prison camp, was no longer in the camp at this time, and Guan Xiang, the marching secretary, had to investigate the case personally.
Guan Xiang hurriedly led all the guards to the dungeon, but he was almost vomited at the door when he was hit by the stench of the room. The captain, who was missing his front teeth, smiled and said: "Shang Guan, wait until I send someone to clean the inside, and it won't be too late for you to go in again."
The warden also said: "Yes, it's too dirty inside."
"That's all, business matters are important. Gao Shichang, these prisoners are still useful and must be kept alive. Your dungeon needs to be clean from now on, so as not to infect the whole army with plague and cholera. Why should you explain it to the captain?" Guan Xiang scolded.
The warden nodded hurriedly and obeyed the order, and then the group of people covered their noses and went down to the dungeon. Soon they came to the door of Zhang Xiaowu's cell and saw the body of the dead Badener at a glance. The death condition was so miserable.
Badener's head was completely smashed on his back, and his brains were scattered around, exuding the smell of blood. Half of the floor in the cell was covered with blood, which had condensed into black. The other prisoners screamed when they saw their arrival, and Tatar
The people in Tajikistan were particularly excited and threatened to hang the "Beiyi man".
Guan Xiang signaled the jailer with missing front teeth and others to go in and arrest Zhang Xiaowu. Several people opened the door and walked over cautiously. The jailer with missing front teeth grabbed Zhang Xiaowu's head and pulled him awake.
"Son of a bitch! Is this the one you killed? Was Badener killed by you?" the guard with missing front teeth shouted.
Zhang Xiaowu's head was in severe pain. He raised his eyelids and said in Chinese: "Yes, I killed the person, just one dog barbarian. What's the fuss? I killed countless dog barbarians in Tucheng."
The jailer with missing front teeth couldn't help but let go and stammered: "You, you, you are a Han? What did you say? Tucheng? From the 27th Regiment? Are you from the 27th Regiment?"
Zhang Xiaowu stood up and said: "Zhang Xiaowu, the captain of the 27th Regiment Yizi Yingdian Military Academy."
The jailer with missing front teeth was shocked. He turned around and looked at the secretary Guan Xiang who was looking away with his mouth closed. He asked cautiously: "Are you really the captain?"
"Yes." Zhang Xiaowu said.
Guan Xiang stood at the door holding his nose from a distance. He didn't hear their conversation and couldn't help but ask: "Hu Sanwan, what is that Quan Yi talking about?"
The jailer Hu Sanwan, who was missing his front teeth, turned around and shouted: "Master Guan, he said he is the captain of the Yizi Camp of the 27th Regiment. He is not a dog barbarian, but the captain."
Guan Xiang was also startled. He rushed in and stood in front of Zhang Xiaowu regardless of the stench in the cell. He looked at the dirty guy seriously and said half threatening and half hesitant: "If you lie to us, I will kill you."
I will peel off your skin and make you worse than life or death!"
Zhang Xiaowu said loudly: "The 15,000 men of our 27th Regiment and the 20,000 Tucheng people have been holding on for a month and a half. Why don't we have any supporting troops? Where is this place? Who are you? Is this the Yashan Camp?"
Guan Xiang frowned and felt that something was fishy. He looked at Zhang Xiaowu carefully again. Although this man had a unkempt beard and disheveled hair, he looked young and had a pair of bright eyes. The news of the massacre of the entire army of the 27th Regiment and Tucheng
The news had spread throughout the northern part of the Great Wall, and the Crown Prince ordered to treat the sergeants and civilians of the 27th Regiment who came out of Tucheng kindly. He stared at Zhang Xiaowu's eyes, trying to see the truth and falsehood, but Zhang Xiaowu looked at him openly, which made him even more confused.
Guan Xiang hesitated.
Chief Gao Shi carefully apologized and said with a smile: "Secretary Guan, you don't blame me for this. It's a spy from the North Yi brought back by the scouts, and we don't know about it either."
Guan Xiang said: "Don't believe it easily. The Northern Yi spies look exactly like me, the Holy Han. They can actually confuse the fake with the real one. Besides, have you ever seen such a young captain? Our Qinglong Army can become a captain at such a young age."
Unless he is a member of the royal family." He asked: "You said you are a school captain, what kind of school captain are you, and who is your grandfather?"
"I am the captain of Yizi Yingdian Military Academy, and my grandfather is the martial artist of Yongzhou Escort Bureau." Zhang Xiaowu said.
"Hahaha, a martial artist's son can be a captain? And at such a young age? Do you really think we have no brains?" Guan Xiang said firmly, "You must be a spy from the Northern Yi. If you want to deceive us, you won't even tell a lie.
Can speak."
Gao Shichang immediately echoed: "I almost fell into his trap. The Beiyi people are really cunning! Hu Sanwan, beat him up!"
Just as Hu Sanwan was about to raise his fist, he saw Zhang Xiaowu giving him a cold look. The look was full of murderous intent, which even made Hu Sanwan's whole body shiver. Thinking that Badener was killed by him, Hu Sanwan's momentum
Suddenly discouraged, he looked at Chief Gao and Secretary Guan at a loss.
Gao Shi always hated that iron could not become steel, but he did not dare to do anything, so he could only look at Secretary Guan and ask with his eyes what should be done.
Zhang Xiaowu threatened: "You have to think about it. I'm afraid you won't be able to shoulder the responsibility for beating the school lieutenant. If I lied, I wouldn't tell such a lie that no one would believe."
"That's true, do it slowly." Guan Xiang said hurriedly, if what this boy said was true, he would not be able to bear the burden and walk away. Let alone a small secretary, even the captain would also suffer.
I couldn't bear it. Secretary Guan stood up and said: "This matter is very strange. Let me ask the captain for instructions. You will take this person into custody for the time being. Keep him alone and don't let anyone hurt him."
Hu Sanwanxin said: This person was originally detained in solitary confinement.
"Pack up the body as well. Don't bury it for the time being. Carry it outside." Guan Xiang ordered again.
"Here."
After Guan Xiang left the dungeon, he immediately looked for the captain to report. At this time, Chief Gao told Hu Sanwan to treat this person well. If this person was the captain of the Dian Army, everyone could not afford to suffer.
After everyone left, Hu Sanwan and others were confused. Should they let Zhang Xiaowu stay in the dungeon or let him get out? But if he got out, where could he be placed? What would happen if he escaped? It was obvious to everyone.
Together they can't beat this person.
Zhang Xiaowu suddenly said: "So and so, prepare a roast chicken and a pot of wine for me, and I will eat and drink here."
"You" Hu Sanwan looked at him depressedly and had to pay Wang Yijin out of his own pocket to buy it.
Zhang Xiaowu asked: "Who is that, where is this?"
"Wood City."
"Wooden city?" Zhang Xiaowu said in shock, "The wooden city is five hundred miles away from the earth city."
"Yes." Hu Sanwan said, "We are soldiers of the Sixth Regiment who were held captive in the camp under General Cheng Chu's account."
Zhang Xiaowu frowned: "I never expected that when I fled to Jincheng, I would end up in Wooden City, which is not far from the two wolves."
"Less than a hundred miles." Hu Sanwan was sulking, but he still replied angrily, "Sir, are you really the captain of the 27th Regiment? I heard that less than a hundred people from the 27th Regiment made it out of the earthen city."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "I don't know about other people's situation, but it was night when Tucheng fell. I wore Wuhuan clothes and took advantage of the chaos. Sergeant Hu, do you know anything else about the 27th Regiment?"
Do you know where General Shi Jing is?"
Hu Sanwan said: "I heard that General Shi Jing came out of Jincheng. Because Tucheng was defeated, Shi Jing had to return to Longdu to explain to the Ministry of War."
Zhang Xiaowu frowned. Tucheng was defeated because he was isolated and helpless. What was Shi Jing's fault? Why did he need to go to the Ministry of War to explain? It was the crown prince who needed to explain, and why the princelings were reluctant to send troops. Shi Jing had supported him.
His favor was also the "high hall" of his wedding. If Shi Jing was wronged, he would never let it go. But even if he wanted to help and redress his injustice, how could a small prisoner do it?
"For the current plan, it is important to get out of trouble first." Zhang Xiaowu said in his heart, "I am now suspected of being a secret agent of the Northern Yi. I need to prove myself first. Otherwise, how can we talk about revenge? How can we talk about redressing injustice."
Hu Sanwan looked at him with a bad look. He didn't know what his temper was, so he said cautiously: "But the prince said that the defeat of Tucheng was all due to Shi Jing. The other sergeants of the 27th Regiment are all our holy heroes and should be treated kindly."
.”
Zhang Xiaowu sneered, how did Shi Jing offend the prince and the prince insisted on putting him to death?
There was a restaurant at the entrance of the prisoner camp. Wang Yijin brought back roast chicken and spirits. Zhang Xiaowu said, "Come, I'll treat you to a drink. Thank you for telling me the news."
"Don't dare, don't dare to cross." Hu Sanwan said hurriedly. He looked at the dirty Zhang Xiaowu and saw the blood stains on his body. How could he think about eating and drinking? "My lord, I am here to eat and drink for the time being.
I'll go down first, there are all barbarians here, but I am not afraid to see the great man swallowing up the mountains and rivers, which really impresses me."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "You go down, and after I am released, I will repay you many times the money I owe you."
Hu Sanwan shook his head and smiled: "How dare I ask for your money?"
