After walking through the deep corridor and entering the castle, there is a wide square paved with green rocks. There are several rows of wooden shelves on the square, which are filled with various weapons of different lengths. Hu Hai even saw a corner of the square.
There is also a huge crossbow machine.
There is a circle of stone corridors on both sides of the square. Inside the stone corridors are identical rooms. Now the doors and windows of each room are closed. Even after this loud shout, the entire square is still empty.
"I've already come in, why don't you show up?"
As soon as Hu Hai finished speaking, two rows of men in black wearing masks and black armor suddenly appeared in the square of the castle, arranged neatly in the stone corridors on both sides. It was as if they had been standing there and had never moved.
Eight in a row, exactly sixteen.
As for these people appearing out of thin air without any warning, Hu Hai must be lying if he said he was not surprised. However, it was obviously not the time to delve into these things. Hu Hai looked up and down and did not find any traces of the secret passage. He suppressed the feeling in his heart.
Questioned,
"Are you the sixteenth captain of Heibingtai?"
"Your Majesty, I and the sixteen others are the sixteen captains of the black guards in the inner hall of the Black Ice Platform, and the iron eagle swordsmen in the outer hall are also led by sixteen captains." The first burly man in black from the left bowed and responded.
.
The voice was exactly the same as the rough voice that just asked Hu Hai if he had any tokens. This was the person who just asked if he had any tokens. Hu Hai secretly thought. After all, the Black Ice Platform is divided into two sections, the inner and the outer, and there are two sixteenth lieutenants? Hu Hai was confused.
He looked behind him at Dun Rui.
Sensing the questioning look in Hu Hai's eyes, he suddenly whispered softly: "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case."
"Who are you?" Hu Hai asked, looking at the man in black speaking to the left.
"Back to Your Majesty, I am the first lieutenant of the Black Guard."
"I asked you who your last name is?"
"Back to Your Majesty, all the dark warriors of the Black Guard in the Black Ice Platform have no surnames."
So that's it. Hu Hai looked at the other fifteen men in black. While the first captain of the black guard was speaking, the remaining men didn't make any move. They stood quietly on both sides of the stone corridor, like sculptures.
"First Lieutenant, this is my first time here. Why don't you show me around?" Hu Hai said calmly.
"I don't dare." The first lieutenant of the Black Guard said respectfully, and then added: "The sixth lieutenant, take the two adults to the lobby to rest." Obviously, he did not want Zhang Han and Dun Ruo to know the inside of the Black Guard.
Case.
Hu Hai did not stop the first lieutenant, but nodded to Zhang Han and Dun Wenwei, who were looking at him. With Hu Hai's permission, the two men immediately followed the sixth lieutenant who was walking in front and walked along a stone corridor.
"I wonder what your Majesty wants to see?"
After the two men walked away under the leadership of the sixth lieutenant, the first lieutenant bowed to Hu Hai and asked.
"Just take me around, I have something to ask you." Hu Hai said and walked along the stone corridor towards the depths of the castle. He didn't care about the remaining dozen or so men in black. He wanted to get to know him first.
Let’s talk about the situation.
The scenery of the castle is beautiful, with lush greenery everywhere, flowers and plants of various colors everywhere, and the air is filled with the intoxicating fragrance of flowers. Apart from being a bit eerie and lifeless, this place is not intended to be a good place to relax and escape the summer heat. There is no trace of it at all.
This castle was a concentration camp for the dead soldiers of the Qin Dynasty.
The first lieutenant has been following Hu Hai silently, following Hu Hai step by step, following Hu Hai around.
"How many people are there in the inner hall of Heibingtai?" Hu Hai asked as he walked.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is asking about dead soldiers or internees?" The first lieutenant who was following Hu Hai suddenly heard Hu Hai speak and hesitated for a moment before answering.
"Count how many people are in this castle."
"Returning to Your Majesty, the Black Guards have sixteen captains. Each of the sixth to sixteenth lieutenants is responsible for one hundred dead men, and the subordinates are responsible for three hundred dead men. The total number is one thousand three hundred people. The sixth captain is commanded by the sixth captain, and the subordinates are also
I don’t know how many people there are. The second to fifth lieutenants don’t know.”
One thousand, three hundred well-trained dead soldiers who can carry out suicide terrorist attacks. What a terrifying number this is, and what a huge force. Hu Hai shouted in his heart. But those numbers 2,345
The fourth lieutenant, he didn’t know at all?
"Are the Black Guards still only loyal to me now?" Hu Hai asked the most concerning question.
"Your Majesty, forgive me. The Black Guards of Black Ice Platform have always been loyal only to His Majesty the Emperor of Qin. This is the foundation of the existence of the Black Guards. All Black Guards can die for His Majesty at any time." After hearing Hu Hai's words, the first lieutenant hurriedly knelt down.
In the tunnel.
Hu Hai didn't expect that his words would frighten this burly man to such an extent.
"I have never doubted the loyalty of the Black Guards. Get up. Tell me what the duties of these sixteen lieutenants are?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Of the sixteen lieutenants, the first lieutenant was your Majesty's personal soldier, so he had the most casualties. The second to fourth lieutenants were all deaf and mute. The subordinates did not know the responsibility of these four lieutenants, and the subordinates also
You cannot interfere with the affairs of these four lieutenants.
I only know that the second to fourth lieutenants are qualified to serve as those who are most loyal to Your Majesty and the Qin Dynasty. However, these four lieutenants only act under His Majesty's orders, and I have no leadership position;
The sixth lieutenant is responsible for controlling the inner hall, the seventh lieutenant is responsible for controlling the outer hall, and the eighth to sixteenth lieutenants are responsible for assassinating, instigating rebellion, bribing high-ranking officials of the enemy country, supervising the officials of our Daqin, and detecting the hidden intermediaries in our Daqin territory."
The details are really detailed. Is this completely the FBI of the Great Qin Empire?
What particularly surprised Hu Hai was that there were still deaf-mute warriors. If they could train deaf-mute people into loyal warriors, Hu Hai really admired these instructors from Da Qin. What's more important was that these deaf-mute warriors were able to train them into loyal warriors.
The dead soldiers should be the core force that is truly in the hands of the emperor.
As for what the duties of these four lieutenants were, even the first one who could command the other twelve lieutenants did not know, which made Hu Hai curious.
"Well, I understand. Let's call in the other fifteen lieutenants. I have something to say." Hu Hai found a boulder and sat down and said.
"I obey your order!"
After the first lieutenant finished speaking, he raised his hand, and a black light shot straight into the sky from his sleeve. The black light flew in the air and made a unique "whining" sound. The black light flew upwards and fell to the ground not far away.
The unique sound also disappeared immediately.
Is this a ringing arrow? Hu Hai suppressed the doubts in his heart.
Less than ten breaths after this unique sound, a group of fifteen men in black armor and black masks came through a path and in the blink of an eye arrived in front of the huge rock where Hu Hai was sitting.
"The Sixteenth Lieutenant of the Black Guard pays homage to Your Majesty!" The fifteen people knelt down respectfully and said.
Hu Hai heard it clearly this time. There was definitely a woman among these fifteen people! And the voice sounded like a very young woman. What is this situation? Aren't women at this time all vassals of men? How could a woman become Da Qin Hei?
Senior management of Wei?
"You... take off your mask!" Hu Hai hesitated and ordered.
The sixteenth lieutenant was stunned when he heard Hu Hai's order. Obviously, no one expected Hu Hai to say such an order. Then they all came to their senses, and the first lieutenant took off his mask without hesitation.
The first lieutenant was indeed as Hu Hai imagined, a big man with a sinister face and a ferocious face, with a pair of leopard eyes like copper bells. His long hair was casually scattered on his head, showing a somewhat strange elegance.
Seeing the first lieutenant doing this, the remaining fifteen people also took off their masks one after another.
Looking at the figure kneeling in the middle among the sixteen people who all took off their masks, with his head half lowered and only half of his fair face hidden by his hair, Hu Hai secretly thought that there was indeed a woman. Maybe it was because his head was lowered, or maybe it was because of the lowered head.
Because the hair was covered, Hu Hai did not see the woman's face clearly.
Hu Hai was very curious about what this woman was responsible for in the Black Guard. He pointed at the woman kneeling on one knee and said,
"What rank are you in? What rank do you hold?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I, the sixth lieutenant of the Black Guard, will take charge of all intermediaries in the inner hall!"
After hearing the woman's words, Hu Hai understood that women were indeed more careful than men, and it was reasonable for the spies to analyze the intelligence. He didn't mean anything else, he was just out of curiosity.
"Well, I have been on the throne for a year, and I only learned of the existence of the Black Ice Platform not long ago. So this is the first time I have met you. When I came here, I have been wondering whether the Black Guard is really only loyal to me.
.
Of course, I have just asked the first lieutenant. But I am not the father, and I am not familiar with you. Similarly, I am afraid that you are not familiar with me as the emperor. If any of you want to quit the Black Guard and quit the Black Ice Platform, I
This time I can give you a chance.
For those who want to quit, as long as you keep the secret, I can promise that I will never send anyone to kill you, and you can live a peaceful life. But if you don't quit this time, if one day I find someone with evil intentions, I will never do it.
Soft-handed.
So I ask you for the last time, but you are loyal to me and loyal to our Great Qin. You will answer me after you think about it!"
Hu Hai said calmly.
"Swear to be loyal to Your Majesty!" Everyone bowed down in the tunnel at the same time.
The answers from these people did not surprise Hu Hai.
"Okay! Then I will give you the name of Dragon Guard today. From today on, our Great Qin will no longer have Black Guards!"
