Chapter 60: Interrogation
The ragged prisoners of war in the cold wind became coolies, carrying the grain in the granary like ants. Boatloads of grain were transported to Yueyang and then transshipped to Jiangdu. Zhang 13 was supervising the renovation of Yueyang's city walls, and Yun Xiao felt the need to deploy his forces in such a place.
Ever since Yun Xiao rewarded Xiang Yong, these Xiang Yong have completely become Yun Xiao's personal army. They only obeyed Yun Xiao's orders, because they were not officials and soldiers, and the decrees of the imperial court had nothing to do with them.
Yun Xiao was in no mood to manage this, and all the things were left to his generals. If the young eagle does not fall, it will not become an eagle that soars for nine days after all. Even the young Luan Yong was sent to get acquainted with the water master, and he was so happy that this half-sized man cheered and went to find Zhang Shisan.
"How was your sleep last night? If it's cold, I'll ask them to add a quilt to you. I've asked you to pick up your clothes in the cottage, and they will be delivered here soon, don't worry. ”
Yun Xiao did it behind the desk and said to the eunuch. After a day together, the conversation was still very difficult.
"I'm not cold, why are you so nice to me."
Eun Niang is not a little girl after all, since she has recovered her cold state, it means that Yun Xiao's day's efforts are in vain. I use the word very often, which proves that this woman is very confident. It seems that this is a difficult bone to gnaw, Yun Xiao scratched his head, and the wound was itchy in the scar.
"You're Shihu's woman, I want to know something."
Since it doesn't go around the corner, it's better to get straight to the point.
"What do you want to know, the cottage is in your hands. Presumably, the treasure room will not be able to stop you, and you will take whatever you can. What more could you want? I? A woman with broken flowers and willows. I'm afraid it can't arouse the interest of a marquis. ”
"Your resentment is deep, you seduced me when you came out of the cave. Are you trying to kill me or something else? ”
"Naturally, I want to kill you, and men are not vigilant when they are in bed. I'm going to kill you. Easy as pie. ”
As if to prove her words, the eunuch spit out a thin blade with one mouth. landed on the table with a "dang" sound, attracting the goshawk probe to check. Yun Xiao picked up the blade and looked at it carefully, it was very similar to the razor blade of later generations. I tried the blade with my hand, and it was sharp. I really don't know how this woman practiced, but she actually hid such a thing in her mouth and didn't delay eating, drinking, and talking.
I have always seen this kind of kung fu in movies, but I didn't expect there to be such a wonderful kung fu in the world, Yun Xiao thought, I must ask this respectable lady for advice in the future.
"Then why didn't you kill Liu Cheng?"
"He's not you. I kill him only to expose my abilities, and then you chop him into shredded flesh. It's unwise, that fool isn't worth my life, and his life won't pay for the lives of thousands of brothers in the stockade. You are the only one who has this qualification. ”
"I'm honored that I have this qualification, you have a chance to kill me in the morning, why don't you do it?"
"Because I changed my mind."
"Oh, why?"
"Because I found that I could not kill you at all, the scarf was around my neck, and the cloak was also on my neck. I can't turn as fast as I used to. So I can't kill you. Now that you've seen my tricks, stop acting, it's really good for everyone. ”
Yun Xiao swore to the sky that this was definitely a mistake. Tie a scarf is to show gentlemanly demeanor. Wearing a cloak was to feel like she cared about her. I definitely didn't expect this to affect her twisting her neck, it's really hanging, I almost hung up this morning.
Yun Xiao touched his neck. The throat is a little tight.
"You are the master here, you can say whatever you want. Don't beat around the bush. ”
"Are you Shihu's woman?"
The eunuch put her hand on the table. His eyes were glued to Yun Xiao. It seems that this question has caused her to have psychological fluctuations, which seems to be a sure thing. Why is this happening? Yesterday, no less than ten chieftain-level prisoners of war were interrogated, and they all pointed out that the eunuch was actually the actual second master of this cottage.
"Sort of"
His tone was stiff and cold, and the palm on the table was slightly clenched. It can be seen that she is using a strong control to control her feelings.
"Yes, yes, no, no. What do you mean, how do you say this? ”
This is a breakthrough, Yun Xiao doesn't plan to let her go, what he has to do now is to attack along this breakthrough.
He took a deep breath, then spit it out again.
"I'm a stone girl, so he can only be considered my man."
Damn, what a beautiful woman is actually a stone girl, it's really a tyrannical thing.
"Why do you want to tell me something so secret?"
"I don't want to be rewarded by those soldiers, I know how you deal with women like me. Instead of being wantonly played, it is better to tell you now, if you want to kill or chop, it is better to give a pleasure and less humiliation. ”
Since such a private thing has been said, it should be said that Shi Hu should be asked now. Yun Xiao seems to feel that he has found the life of the eunuch, this is pride. A proud woman is not allowed to be humiliated, but she is not willing to commit suicide. So, it's the way it is.
It's good, if you find your life, you can start from here.
"I can give you a decent life, no worries about food and clothing, if you want fine food and clothing, it is not impossible. I can even take you to Guanzhong, and I will also hire a very skilled imperial doctor. I can ask him to check your condition so that you can live the life you want. But the premise of this qiē is that you answer my question truthfully. ”
"The conditions are so tempting, and the problem must be difficult. For the sake of my future life, I promise you. But I can only tell you what I know, and whether you believe or are satisfied is not within my consideration. ”
"No problem, as long as you tell the truth. Everything I say will come true, you can only trust me that you have no other choice. ”
"yes, I can only trust you. Say it and see what kind of questions make you pay such attention. ”
"I heard that Shi Hu is of Miao descent? Originally lived in the 100,000 mountains? ”
Yun Xiao is particularly sensitive to the 100,000 Great Mountains, because the place he crossed over was in the jungle not far from Xishuangbanna.
"Yes, Shi Hu is an authentic descendant of Bai Miao. As far as I know, his father was still a very powerful leader, but it seems that his family fell because of the clan strife. Only then did Shi Hu escape from the 100,000 Mountains and run to Dongting Lake. ”
"So how did you get together with him? Looted or trafficked? ”
"My father is the magistrate of Yueyang. Of course, it was more than ten years ago in Zhixian, because of my body, I was thrown into the lake by my family as a sacrifice to the god of the lake on a raft. They also lit a fire on the raft, and it didn't take long for the fire to burn it. I was only twelve years old and didn't know how to swim, and just when I was scared to death, Shi Hu rowed over in a boat. He saved me, and I have followed him ever since. This cottage is my home, and now it has been destroyed by you. ”
"I'm sorry, I heard that Shi Hu's family once came to look for him?"
Yun Xiao saw that the eunuch was honest, so he decided to ask his real question.
"I came eight years ago, you know this, it must have been said by the Diamond Mountain Leopard. Only an old man like him in the village knew about it. ”
"Can you tell me about that person?"
"That person is a priest in the Shi Hu clan, because he was friendly with Shi Hu's father, and Shi Hu's father entrusted him with a sacred relic in the clan. According to him, it was a magic weapon of the God of Light, and it was divided into four parts. Black seedlings, white seedlings, red seedlings, and Gu seedlings each have one each, and the part of the white seedlings is in charge of Shi Hu's father.
Because the family business failed, his father secretly handed over the holy relics to the sacrifice. Let the sacrifice be passed on to his only living son, Shi Hu. ”
Relic? The god of light? Sacrifice? It's all going on with it, it's not a routine that I think.
Yun Xiao was a little puzzled that the national army he was looking for was actually a sacrifice. This made him a little unable to turn around, no matter which movie or TV series, there was no sacrifice wearing a steel helmet and camouflage uniform. Except, of course, Saving Private Ryan, but people call it a priest and not a sacrifice.
"Is this the holy thing you're talking about?"
Yun Xiao got out of the base of the jade, and now it is somewhat clear that the jade mine in Myanmar is the most famous. Jade of this quality is clearly produced there.
"That's it, Shi Hu is very precious. A few years ago, there was a lot of humidity in the cave, and the iron box containing it was rotten. Afraid that this thing would go wrong, Shi Hu also specially made a big clam to pretend to it. ”
"Is that priest wearing an iron fancy hat and colorful clothes?"
Yun Xiao drew the appearance of the steel helmet and camouflage uniform on the paper with a pen, and asked the eunuch to identify it.
"Have you ever seen a sacrifice? This was impossible, and the priest died after handing over the holy relic to Shi Hu. The corpse was still disposed of by me and Shi Hu, and even the burned ashes were scattered into the lake. How could you have seen him, oh my God, did you see other Miao sacrifices. It is said that their rituals are dressed in this way, and there are eight people in total. ”
What is dead, and not one but eight. Damn, the national army crossed in a group?
"How did you die?"
"He has a magical piece of iron that can breathe flames. It can also shoot things and kill people. On the day he went to the island, one of the leaders was disrespectful to him, and he was killed by the priest with the finger of the iron thing. ”
"Do you make a snapping sound when you point to someone?"
Yun Xiao simulated the sound of a gunshot with his mouth.
"Yes, it makes that sound. How do you know everything. ”
"Let's see if that thing looks like this."
Yun Xiao hurriedly drew a pistol on the paper for the eunuch to identify.
"Yes, that's it."
The eunuch looked at Yun Xiao with a very shocked look, and she didn't know how the marquis of the imperial court could know the secret of the Miao descendants. You know, those people never went out of a hundred thousand mountains. (To be continued......)
