The military camp had been trampled into a mess by the black-armored cavalry, and the surroundings were filled with a strong smell of blood. The surviving soldiers could only drag their tired footsteps, tear down some remaining tents, piece them together, and build five hundred tents outside the military camp.
A simple camp was rebuilt in a place about 3 meters away.
Sitting in front of the bonfire in the camp, suddenly a soldier burst into tears. When people face death, their survival instinct often overcomes fear. Only when they think back afterwards will they feel scared.
Cries and painful wails continued to echo in the night sky.
"Brother Qin, I...I'm afraid I'll never see you again."
After experiencing countless life and death moments, Ye Ling'er no longer suppressed her emotions, threw herself into Qin Hao's arms and cried loudly. This seemingly strong and competitive girl took off all disguises at this moment.
"It's okay, don't worry, nothing will happen to you as long as I'm here." Qin Hao gently took Ye Ling'er's trembling body into his arms and comforted her softly.
........
There was no talking all night, and in a blink of an eye it was daylight.
When the surviving soldiers woke up, they were shocked speechless by the scene before them.
Outside the military camp, countless corpses of black-armored cavalry were scattered, forming an irregular curve that stretched for nearly fifty steps.
Obviously, these black-armored cavalry did not die while attacking the camp gate. They all died at the hands of one person.
"Gulu."
The sound of swallowing saliva continued to sound. Although everyone was still frightened, they were glad that they were on Qin Hao's side.
Ye Pei led people to drag back the bodies of Youzimo and Youziyuan brothers. Fortunately, Youziyuan's body was still intact, but Youzimo was more unlucky and died on the edge of the battlefield. Overnight, the bodies had been
The wolves gnawed his body beyond recognition, and it was a sigh that a generation of strong men of the ninth rank would end up in such a miserable state.
"That is to say, last night, General Qin fought three ninth-level warriors alone. Not only did he escape completely, but he also killed two and captured one alive?" Ye Pei suddenly reacted and secretly felt for Qin Hao's terrifying fighting power.
Shocked.
"Perhaps our Qing country will soon have a third great master?"
Ye Pei brought the body back and returned to Qin Hao.
"General, what should we do now?"
Qin Hao looked at the grain and grass that had been burned, and after thinking for a moment: "Leave fifty people to guard, and the rest will follow me back to Dingzhou with the wounded!"
An hour later, Qin Hao led a group of wounded people and embarked on the road back to Dingzhou while carrying the bodies of Yan Xiaoyi and You Zimo brothers.
Along the way, Yan Xiaoyi received special care, and the surviving soldiers vented the pain of the death of Brother Paoze on Yan Xiaoyi.
In the past, this Qingguo's only ninth-level archer would never have looked at these lowly soldiers seriously.
At this moment, he was beaten and humiliated at will by these soldiers. This undoubtedly rubbed his prideful dignity to the ground.
"Qin Hao, I want to see him! I want to see him!"
"Bah, who do you think you are? Or the aloof ninth-grade Archery God? If it hadn't been for our General Qin's orders, I would have shaved you alive one by one and thrown your meat to the ground to feed the wolves!"
The soldier angrily stepped on Yan Xiaoyi's head under his feet, spit a thick mouthful of phlegm in his face, and cursed through gritted teeth.
Yan Xiaoyi desperately tried to struggle, but all the joints on his body were removed by Qin Hao, and his true energy was also destroyed. The strength he was once proud of was now inferior to that of an ordinary soldier.
Just when Yan Xiaoyi was about to die of shame and anger, Qin Hao came over.
"Qin Hao, kill me if you dare."
Qin Hao glanced at him with a cold face: "I thought you had thought it through, but it seems you are still stubborn."
"'Take good care' of him for me."
After saying that, Qin Hao raised his legs to leave, and Yan Xiaoyi shouted desperately.
"Don't leave. What do you want? As long as you give me pleasure, I can give you anything!"
Qin Hao turned around and squatted in front of Yan Xiaoyi, and sneered: "It's impossible to die, but we can make a deal. Tell me all the people involved in this matter, and I promise to hand you over to the inspection agency."
Before, I gave you the treatment you deserve as a prisoner, but as for what will happen to you after you arrive at the Inspection Institute, that depends on your fate."
"How's it going? Is this a good deal?"
If the anger in Yan Xiaoyi's eyes had any warmth, it would be enough to burn Qin Hao to ashes. Unfortunately, in the end, he could only nod sullenly.
"Those involved in this matter are..."
Qin Hao wrote down the names of these people one by one, and then said to the soldiers guarding Yan Xiaoyi: "According to the usual practice, how does the Qing Kingdom treat the prisoners of the Northern Qi Dynasty? Do you know what to do?"
"I understand, little one." The soldier sneered, looking at Yan Xiaoyi with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Qin, if you go back on your word, you will die badly!"
........
In the Dingzhou camp, a large black flag rustled in the wind, with a big Chinese character Qin written on it.
General Qin Ming was at his desk checking military reports from various places in Dingzhou, when his eyelids suddenly twitched. At first, he didn't think much about it, thinking it was because he had been working too hard recently.
However, not long after, the bodyguard suddenly broke in and whispered in his ear.
After Qin Ming heard a name, his expression suddenly changed.
"Okay, I understand, let him wait first."
After the guards left, Qin Ming punched the desk hard: "You're a piece of trash. You can't even kill a young boy. Why do you call yourself the ninth-grade Archery God?"
His face became uncertain for a while, Qin Ming thought for a long time, and then called his bodyguard over.
"Go and bring people in."
At first, Qin Ming also thought about killing Qin Hao on the spot because of his unfavorable reputation for escorting grain and grass, so as to avoid future troubles. However, in this case, he had no way out at all.
From Qin Ming's point of view, Qin Hao was just lucky enough to save his life at the hands of Yan Xiaoyi, and he didn't know the inside story. He could have pretended to be generous and exempted him from the crime of escorting grain and fodder, and the other party should not suspect him.
Come up.
However, when Qin Hao appeared in the Chinese army's tent with Yan Xiaoyi, who had been tortured into a state of disgrace, Qin Ming was completely dumbfounded.
"General, do you still recognize this person?" Qin Hao directly threw Yan Xiaoyi under Qin Ming's desk.
Qin Ming thought at first that his eyesight was wrong, but until Yan Xiaoyi raised his head, he seemed to suddenly wake up.
"Commander Yan...you...how could you be like this? Who hurt you like this?" Qin Ming pretended to be surprised and stepped forward to help Yan Xiaoyi up.
, and at the same time kept giving him winks to tell him not to talk nonsense.
A sarcastic smile appeared on Yan Xiaoyi's face: "Qin Ming, don't have any illusions. This guy already knows about our cooperation. For this plan, you have to kill him to have a chance of survival."
Qin Ming couldn't help but scolded all eight generations of Yan Xiaoyi's ancestors for betraying him so easily.
However, Yan Xiaoyi's words also made Qin Ming entangled. As Yan Xiaoyi said, once this matter is exposed, even his uncle Qin Ye will not be able to save him.
Qin Hao's lips curved into a sneer: "So that's what you had in mind, borrowing a knife to kill someone, but don't you think the borrowed knife isn't sharp enough?"
"No, your real intention is to provoke a conflict between me and the Qin family. Killing Qin Ming will naturally offend the Qin family. The power of the Qin family is deeply rooted in the military. This is the only thing you can do for that crazy woman now.
Alright?"
Yan Xiaoyizhuangruo yelled at Qin Ming frantically: "What are you still hesitating about? This kid will retaliate. If you betray him, he won't let you go easily!"
Qin Ming's hand subconsciously touched the handle of the knife, and was confused for a moment. He knew very well that Qin Hao's strength as a ninth-grade warrior was no match for him. Judging from Qin Hao's ability to capture Yan Xiaoyi, his strength should be far greater than that of Qin Hao.
Ordinary ninth-grade warrior.
The only way he could think of to keep Qin Hao was to kill the opponent with his life, but this was based on the premise that the opponent would not run away. A ninth-level warrior was focused on escaping. Without a master of the same level to restrain him, ordinary soldiers would not be able to catch up.
.
Qin Hao looked at Qin Ming coldly, with a sneer on his lips: "Why doesn't the general draw his sword?"
Cold sweat continued to overflow on Qin Ming's forehead: "General Qin, don't be instigated by an traitor. I have never conspired with this person."
"Oh? Then why did this person know Qin's whereabouts so well that he set an ambush on Qin's only way to transport grain to Gaoyang?" Qin Hao did not completely believe Yan Xiaoyi's words.
Faced with the coercion of the ninth-grade warrior, Qin Ming's hand holding the handle of the knife kept shaking, and he suppressed the fear in his heart before speaking in defense.
"This man has been in the frontier army for many years and has many relatives and friends. Perhaps he has an insider in the Dingzhou military camp."
"Qin Ming, you coward, kill him quickly, otherwise you will regret it!" Yan Xiaoyi raised his head and cursed loudly.
Qin Ming slapped the table: "Come here, take this thief down and keep him under strict supervision!"
Qin Hao did not stop him. Yan Xiaoyi's energy had been destroyed by him, and he would never be able to practice martial arts again in this life. Now Qin Hao was using him to verify who was involved in this matter.
Seeing the guards escorting Yan Xiaoyi down, Qin Hao didn't say anything to stop him, Qin Ming couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"General Qin, we have no grievances between you and me. Don't listen to the instigation of that thief. I will tell your Majesty the reason for this matter and punish this thief severely."
Qin Haopi gave Qin Ming a smile and said, "Then General Lao will make the decision for me."
"General Qin's words are serious. Now that you are under my command, you are my brothers and sisters, and this is what you should be doing." Qin Ming asked for some more details as he spoke.
When he learned that Yan Xiaoyi led five thousand black-armored cavalry to intercept and kill Qin Hao, he couldn't help but cursed Yan Xiaoyi in his heart.
"Five thousand cavalry surrounded and suppressed two thousand infantry, but they didn't capture it. It's a waste."
However, when Qin Hao said that there were two other ninth-level masters participating with Yan Xiaoyi, Qin Ming's inner resentment turned into a dull look, and he even thought that he had heard wrong.
"General Qin, you just said that the traitor is supported by two ninth-grade masters?"
"The general doesn't believe it?"
Qin Ming waved his hands repeatedly: "General Qin, please don't misunderstand. It's just that these ninth-grade warriors are already rare. Those who can reach the ninth-grade are even rarer in the world. But I don't know what the characteristics of these two people are?"
"The general wants to know?"
"Since I am going to report to His Majesty, it is natural that it should be more detailed."
Qin Hao said playfully: "In that case, please come with me, General."
Qin Ming followed Qin Hao to the Bingma Division's camp with a confused look on his face.
Qin Hao only brought 2,000 people to escort the grain and grass this time, and the remaining 8,000 people were still in the Dingzhou camp. When these 8,000 people saw the more than 100 wounded soldiers returning to the camp, they couldn't help but feel a little sad, and the camp was destroyed.
Surrounded by a strong atmosphere of sadness.
"General, the people are inside, please."
Qin Hao took Qin Ming to the door of his tent.
Qin Ming was obviously stunned and stood at the door hesitating for a while. He even thought that Qin Hao had ambushed someone inside to do harm to him.
Until Qin Ming entered the camp and saw the two corpses, one tall and one short, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Two monsters from the underworld? How could they..."
"General, do you recognize them?" Qin Hao asked with bright eyes.
Qin Ming quickly explained: "General Qin, please don't misunderstand. The two Netherworld monsters are notorious assassins. Countless masters from various countries have died in their hands. These two are not only highly skilled in martial arts, but their whereabouts are erratic. The Jin Yiwei and the Inspection Institute have countless
Every time we were arrested, we lost soldiers and generals, but we didn’t expect them to die in the hands of General Qin today.”
After saying that, Qin Ming looked at the corpses of the two Nether Monsters with a lingering fear on his face. He didn't know how Qin Hao did it and defeated them with one against three, but he knew very well that if he had just listened to Yan Xiao
B's slanderous attack on Qin Hao, at this moment his head has already fallen to the ground.
"Congratulations to General Qin. The Inspection Institute has issued a reward. Anyone who kills the two monsters of Netherworld will be promoted to the third level and rewarded with thousands of gold."
Qin Hao walked up to Qin Ming and said seriously: "Let the bounty be treated as a pension for the fallen soldiers. Qin has one more thing he wants to trouble the general with."
"General Qin has something to say, but there's no harm in saying it."
"As for the origin of those black-armored cavalry, I also ask the general to find out the truth, so as to comfort the spirits of the fallen soldiers in heaven."
"Don't worry, General Qin. If we deploy troops and horses on such a large scale in Dingzhou, we will definitely be able to find clues. Give me ten days and I will give you an explanation."
"Then it will be hard work."
"General Qin's words are serious, it's his duty."
Not long after Qin Ming left, Ye Ling'er came out from the screen at the back and said suspiciously: "Brother Qin, do you really believe that he has no knowledge of this matter?"
"Now that the war is approaching, Qin Ming commands an army of 200,000 in Dingzhou. Once he is killed, it will inevitably give Northern Qi an opportunity to take advantage of him. Moreover, Yan Xiaoyi's one-sided words alone are not enough to convict him. Don't worry, it is the fox general.
The tail is exposed." Qin Hao sneered.
On the other side, when Qin Ming returned to the Chinese army's tent, he found that his back was already soaked with sweat.
"How did this kid do it? Even the disciples of the Grand Master can't just fight one against three, right? Could it be that Grandmaster Ye took action?"
The more he thought about Qin Ming, the more he became afraid. He was a great master, and every one of them had a transcendent status. Even the king of a country must treat him like a distinguished guest.
"Damn, this crazy woman is not easy to mess with, but she wants to mess with such a monster!"
Qin Ming felt a headache. The most important thing now was to deal with Yan Xiaoyi. As long as he was killed, even if he died without evidence, the eldest princess would not embarrass him because of a useless person.
