Chapter 492: Can't Talk?
His words were prompted by true qi, and the sound was like a bell, spreading in the night sky and echoing for a long time.
Outside the east gate, when the soldiers of the Demon Sect heard this, they were immediately shocked, and hurriedly ran to the camp to make a report.
Since the disappearance of the Zuo Protector, the Ambassador, and the Five Apostles, Jin Gang and the others were just strange at first, but when they saw that they had not returned for a long time, they had to think about the worst.
Just when they were worried, suddenly a person came to tell them that the Zuo Protector, the ambassador and the five apostles had all been captured by the Ming army, and the Ming army wanted to find someone who could take charge of the past to negotiate.
Several apostles in the room, Yu Zhu, and the Five Elements Banner Masters and others were suddenly speechless for a while. Although they also thought of this possibility, when they actually heard it, they thought it was too unbelievable!
The two of Zuo Protector and Ambassador's apprentice, their martial arts are the top in the Demon Sect, and even the three tones are under them, and they were all captured by the Ming army?
How many masters are there in the Ming army? Does that Qin Shuhuai really have such a great ability?
There was silence in the room, and there was a deathly silence.
After a while, Yu Zhu said, "Golden Banner Lord, go and take a look." ”
The Five Elements Banner of the Demon Sect follows the order of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and Jin Gang has the highest status among the Five Elements Banner Lord, so now the army is led by him, and Chu Yun, Yu Zhu and the apostles, although their status is higher than him, but because they don't know how to march and fight, they never directly command the army.
Jin Gang came back to his senses and immediately said, "Okay, I'll go now." ”
With that, he immediately took a few guards and rode to the north gate of the inner city.
When he came to the city, he saw several figures at the head of the city, and the shadows flickered under the flickering torches. Among them was a young man, dressed in a silver-white brocade robe and holding a long sword.
Jin Gang walked to a place about a hundred meters away from the city gate and stopped, and then shouted at the city, "On the head of the city, but Tongzhou Hou Qin Shuhuai?"
Meng Wei replied on behalf of Qin Shuhuai, "Listen, our Hou Ye is not only the Marquis of Tongzhou, but also the prince Shaobao, a scholar of Wuyingdian, and a general of Pingnu who was enshrined by the emperor. By the way, Hou Ye is still the dignified leader of the martial arts alliance! Who are you, why don't you kneel when you see Hou Ye?"
There was a high-minded look between the words, obviously to grow his own prestige and destroy the other party's ambition.
Jin Gang had no intention of arguing with Meng Wei for words, and immediately said loudly, "This will be Jin Gang, the leader of the Ruijin Banner, didn't you say that I taught the Left Protector, the Ambassador, and the Five Apostles in your hands?
Qin Shuhuai smiled slightly, and then made a "bring up" gesture to a few soldiers behind him.
Soon, Zhao Wuxian, who was tied up with shackles, shackles, and leg irons, as well as the ambassador and the five apostles, were pushed to the battlements.
A few more Ming soldiers lit up in front of them with torches. Because these three people were pointed, they couldn't speak.
Jin Gang saw these three people from a distance, and he could see at a glance that they were the Left Protector, the Ambassador, and the Five Apostles.
There was another great shock in my heart: they ...... This Qin Shuhuai, could it be that he is really a demon, and he really has a demon technique?
Qin Shuhuai looked at Jin Gang under the city with a smile, looking indifferent. He has enough chips now, so he is in no hurry to speak.
At this time, it is natural to wait for the other party to ask the price first.
Sure enough, Jin Gang was silent for a moment, and then immediately asked, "Marquis Qin, didn't you say that you wanted to talk to the general? Now that the general is here, tell me, how can you let go of the left protector and the two envoys?"
Qin Shuhuai then said, "Golden Banner Lord, let's make a long story short. Tell your soldiers to withdraw twenty miles outside the city, and I will let the two apostles of your religion go back. ”
Jin Gang replied, "Marquis Qin, if our army withdraws twenty miles away, and we can't find you at that time, how can we believe that you will let the two apostles come back? Besides, why do you only let the two apostles go, but not Zhao Protector?"
Qin Shuhuai said shamelessly, "I will keep you Zhao Protector, in case there is a need in the future, I can talk to you about the conditions!"
Jin Gang was so angry that he almost scolded!
He had never seen such a brazen person!
He said angrily, "Qin Shuhuai, do you think Ben will be able to agree to such conditions? Can the 100,000 brothers I teach in Lanzhou City agree? Don't forget, it's true that you have three hostages in your hands, but there are 50,000 hostages I teach! As long as Ben General gives an order, none of the 50,000 officers and soldiers in the inner city will want to live!"
Meng Wei immediately sneered, "You still have 100,000 in your Demon Sect? Since you have so many brothers, why don't you storm the city again?"
Qin Shuhuai smiled and said unhurriedly, "It seems that there is nothing to talk about! In this case, the Golden Banner Lord, this Marquis is waiting for you in the inner city! Waiting for you to attack the city!"
With that, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.
Jin Gang didn't want to talk about it, so he hurriedly shouted, "Wait! Marquis Qin, if you want to talk, let's talk openly and honestly, and talk about a solution that everyone can accept!"
"The method Benhou has just said, it is your business whether you agree or not. It's useless to talk more, I'll give you half an hour, and the Golden Banner Lord should consider going. ”
So saying, he went down the wall.
The condition for the Demon Sect to retreat twenty miles, and only release two envoys, is naturally a lion's mouth.
Did the Demon Church agree?
Of course it can't be! They have withdrawn their troops, who will they ask for someone to go when the time comes? What if Qin Shuhuai kills these three people without keeping his integrity? This kind of condition with no guarantee at all, a fool will agree!
But Qin Shuhuai just wants to sit on the ground and start the price. Anyway, he wasn't in a hurry, and slowly bargained with the Demon Sect.
After Jin Gang went back, he told Yu Zhu and others what Qin Shuhuai meant. After saying that, no one discussed this condition, because at first glance, it was the other party's random offer, and there was no value in discussing it at all.
But it's not an option to drag it out like this. The reinforcements of the Ming army will arrive in a few days, and the Demon Sect has two plans at this time, one is to mobilize all the main forces, and ask Gao Yingxiang to send a part of the troops to a decisive battle with the official army. The second is to capture the inner city of Lanzhou and fully occupy Lanzhou. In this way, the official army will not dare to attack, and the Demon Sect will be able to control most of the territory in Gansu.
However, because Zhao Wuxian and the two envoys were in the hands of Qin Shuhuai, no matter which method they used, they would have to throw a rat bogey.
That is the most trusted and relied on by the sect leader, the ambassador disciple and the left protector! If they don't save each other, the sect leader will inevitably be furious!
When they thought of the sect leader's violent appearance, everyone's face was clouded! The sect leader was not like this originally, but since half a year ago, his temperament has changed drastically, and he has become an out-and-out tyrant.
