Chapter 12 Advance of Battle
What has become of the outside, Zhao Yige does not know, and can only get some simple information from the jailer. No one came to the dungeon again, and the jailers didn't know what was going on outside. After no contact with the outside world, more than a dozen jailers also began to panic. In fact, Zhao Yige was only one person in this big dungeon, and those jailers looked worried when they finished drinking and found that no one had brought food and wine over. But they can't get out, and as soon as they get out, they'll freeze to death. You can't make a fire in the dungeon, because the door of the dungeon is closed, and if you make a fire, the oxygen in it will run out. At first they could still talk, but now, the topic was over, and once there was silence, it felt like death was approaching here, and they were like a man.
Zhao Yige has been locked up in the dungeon for almost a day. From one dark night to the next, it was only dark in the dungeon, and although he knew that a long time had passed, he did not know that another night was coming. However, Zhao Yige knew that he was still in this dungeon, which proved that Yan Qinghou had not yet sent troops to the east, otherwise he would definitely be brought out of the dungeon, or surrendered or killed, in short, he would not be left here. The rope on his wrist was also strong, not only could he not break free with his own strength, but even if he put it on a raised stone for a day, the rope had no signs of being cut. He thought about it, but he still had to get his sword back to cut the rope. However, Oni Che and Chiyang Sword Fight were taken away, and he didn't know where to go, so he had to know where his sword was first.
"Someone!" Zhao Yige shouted outside the iron cage to call a jailer. He had already begun to think of a way to get out.
The jailers didn't want to pay attention to him, but they had to go and see, and one of the youngest jailers was pushed away by other people who relied on the old to check, and reluctantly approached Zhao Yige's cell.
"What are you doing! It's not time to eat yet, what are you yelling about. The jailer asked impatiently, just wanting to hurry back to the crowded place, feeling like he was going crazy at any moment.
"The snow came very suddenly, and it fell for a day and a night. ”
The jailer was a little surprised: "How do you know?"
"Hehe, just some basic sensing abilities. This snow isn't ordinary, you can't just walk around in the snow, right?"
"Hey, that's a good guess! ”
"How could this be guessed. There were eight of you, and there were four people in each shift. But half a day has passed since the last handover, and the handover person should have come a long time ago, but he didn't come for a long time. It's not that they forgot, it's that they can't come. Because they don't survive for more than a moment in the snowstorm, they will freeze to death. You're also trapped here now, and there's no news from the outside, right? I'm a prisoner, and I won't feel anything wrong if I die here, and I won't send someone to rescue me. But you may have to bury me. ”
Zhao Yige's words suddenly made the young jailer nervous, and he hurriedly asked, "It can't be true, right? Are we really being left here...... Wait a minute, ......" The jailer stopped talking, thought about it carefully, felt that this was Zhao Yige's trick, and looked at him with suspicion, "What are you talking about? You are a prisoner, a murderer who is in the company of man-eating demons, and you still want me to release you?"
It seems that although this jailer is young, he is not so easy to deceive.
"I can't leave if you let me go, it's not that my hands are still tied, what's the difference between me and a lamb to the slaughter? I have no other intentions, I'm hungry like you, and this time it's time to finish eating, aren't you hungry? Even if you're not hungry today, what about tomorrow? No one will bring food tomorrow, I've already said the reason, otherwise it would have been here a long time ago." You don't look like you're starving here, are you?"
"Of course not, what can you do? Our brothers just tried to get out, and after a few steps, their hands and feet were about to freeze, and they dragged them back to cover the heat for a long time before they could save their limbs, and they were almost amputated. ”
"Hehe, there is demon gas in the snow, it will eat people, of course you can't collect it in the snow. "Zhao Yige deliberately made up a lie that the blizzard was caused by the demons, in fact, he knew that the blizzard was done by the gods, but if he didn't say so, the jailer wouldn't believe it.
"Sure enough, it was those demons who made the ghosts! Yan Qinghou should have sent someone to kill the demons quickly. ”
"Yan waited for him to leave, and no one would pay attention to you. I am a person who follows the demons, at least I have to die on Xingtai, how can I starve to death in the dungeon. The magic of the demon clan can't hurt me, you let me go out with you, I can protect you all the way, and put the food and clothes back. I'm tied up with this rope and can't run. ”
After hearing this, the young jailer did not dare to say yes alone, and walked back to ask the opinions of the other jailers. The eight jailers discussed it aloud, but for a short time there was no conclusion. But as time passed, the uneasiness and fear that had accumulated in their hearts exploded. They decided to go out as Zhao Yige said, otherwise they would only die here in vain. In the end, they sent two people to go out with Zhao Yige.
At the door of the dungeon, one of the two jailers put a knife on Zhao Yige's neck, and both of them grabbed Zhao Yige's arms to prevent him from escaping. The other six people opened the door of the prison, and the moment it opened, a fierce wind and snow rushed inside. The two jailers hurriedly took Zhao Yige out, and the remaining six people immediately closed the door, pinning their hopes on those two people. After leaving the gate, the snowflakes fell on Zhao Yige's body, and he immediately felt that this wind and snow had the ability to take away people's body temperature and life. He immediately burst out of his anger to stop the snowflakes from falling on him. Because the two jailers grabbed Zhao Yige's arm, they were also protected by his qi. However, because of the influence of Suo Xian Rope, Zhao Yige's qi can only be used to protect himself.
Zhao Yige closed his eyes on the snow and closed his eyes to recuperate, the purpose was to let himself concentrate and be able to know the position of his two swords in the mixed air. But the two swords didn't seem to be near the dungeon, and the two jailers saw that Zhao Yige suddenly stood still, didn't know what he was doing, and pushed him to hurry forward. Zhao Yige understood that his saber was not here, so he could only continue to move forward to see if there was a chance to find the place where his saber was.
This storm and snow also had an impact on the Three Kingdoms Alliance led by Yan Qinghou, but fortunately, they had many powerful cultivators here, such as Huang Qiying alone, who created thousands of runes to resist the severe cold, so that many soldiers could continue to stand guard in the wind and snow. But the rune paper that could write runes was limited, and he couldn't provide hundreds of thousands of runes. Overall, the slight loss here is small. And the garrison on the side of Qi State, probably because there is no talisman master, the damage will be very tragic. Yan Qinghou had ordered soldiers to search for all the rune paper and the raw materials that could be used to make it, to make sure that everyone could use the warm-up talisman. However, the most serious problem at present is the instability of the morale of the military.
Sword Saint Duan Tianyun saw the appearance of the Golden Dragon Pill Candle, but he still didn't change his mind and didn't join the Daigo organization. However, he wouldn't stop Yan Qinghou from rebelling against the demons. After seeing the vision of the sky, he knew that there must be many people suffering in other places, so he left Dongyang City to save the common people in other places. In the army, the people of Ryokuni are the most unstable. They could see that the long winter would not end, that there would be no spring in the grasslands, and that there would be no green grass to feed the cattle and sheep. The herdsmen lost hope and demanded that the demons be destroyed immediately and forgiven by the Protoss. Otherwise, they will all return to the north, preferring to die in their homeland.
Yan Qinghou also understood that he couldn't wait for the northern Tiehao and Shuofeng descendants to bring back news, and he had to make a decision now to immediately send troops to the Qi State in the east. Although the current weather is not suitable for combat at all, the enemy's side should have the same idea. Without a powerful talisman, there is no chance of winning in this blizzard. Even though the Swordsman can use his own qi to unshield him, consuming his own qi is a waste of stamina. Perhaps this sortie will be able to achieve victory without injuring a single soldier. After giving the order to attack, the Great Khan of Liang and the generals of Yong finally left the tent where the military was discussed. After everyone left, Yan Qinghou let out a long sigh. Outside, Lady Xiyin seemed to hear his sigh, and when she entered the tent, she asked him why he was sighing.
"I don't know what's going on in the north, but at least I'm sure the demons must have had something going on with the Protoss. When I was a child, I met the herdsmen of the north, and they loved and hated the gods of the snowy mountains. Love is the Protoss who provide them with faith and protection, and hate the fact that the God has no mercy and is slowly eating away at the place where they have lived for generations. Look at this snow, it is obvious that it is the breath of the gods, this is the gods who will strangle the human beings in the world again! Even if there are people in this world who are bewitched by the demons, how can they generalize and take the lives of innocent people?"
"Maybe that's a good thing. The strife of various countries has not been able to be unified precisely because of the excessive population, the dispersion of living areas, and the inability of human beings to truly integrate with each other due to customs and beliefs. This punishment of the Protoss will indeed deprive many people of their lives, but it is also a screening. Only those who are truly qualified and capable will survive, and those who survive are the ones who can live forever with God. I want to ...... back then"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yan Qinghou.
"Xiyin, what you said is really light. Are you Daigo people all merciless, and it seems normal in your eyes that so many people have died? Although I am a Daigo person now, it doesn't mean that I have to become as ruthless as you. ”
She didn't plan to continue talking about what she hadn't finished, and she also understood that Yan Qinghou hadn't really understood Daigo's meaning in this world. The sentence she didn't finish explaining the origin of human beings and the mistakes that human beings have made in history, since Yan Qinghou didn't want to hear it, she didn't have to continue. She hunched her back and slowly walked out of the tent.
Zhao Yige took two jailers and finally came to the building in the distance. It turned out that the dungeon where Zhao Yige was held was in such a remote place, and it was not strange that he was forgotten. They meet a pair of patrolmen who have runes on them so they can walk in the snow. After seeing the jailer coming with Zhao Yige pressing, he hurriedly brought them into the house.
It turned out that the previous jailers could only stay in the house and couldn't get out because they didn't have runes assigned to them. Even forget about the jailers in the dungeon. After the jailers entered the house, they put Zhao Yige in the corner, and the soldiers in the house handed them dry food, and they quickly ate it. Zhao Yige also took advantage of this time, closed his eyes, and searched for the location of his sword nearby. The two soldiers glanced at Zhao Yige and said to the jailer that tonight, Yan Qinghou will lead the three armies to send troops to Qi State and march overnight. The two jailers were so frightened that the dry food in their mouths dropped, indicating why the battle had been advanced? The soldiers did not know, but only said the order conveyed above. They looked at Zhao Yige, and then said what they thought to the jailer: This Zhao Yige is a death row prisoner, a scum who has taken refuge in the demon clan, and it is better to kill him now than to take him on the road. Zhao Yige is a sinner, and he is actually in the company of the demon clan, although Yan Qinghou intends to keep his life, but if he kills him, there will be countless people to support him.
The two jailers were dumbfounded, looking at the knife on the table, and did not dare to move. The two soldiers said, "I know that you have not killed anyone!" You said that Zhao Yige wanted to escape from prison, but he was bumped into by the two of us, and then we killed him. In this way, the honor of slaughtering human traitors will be divided among the four of us, and we will do the dirty work of killing people!"
After speaking, the two soldiers walked towards Zhao Yige with their knives. At this moment, Zhao Yige still had his eyes closed, and he didn't know if he heard them speak. The two soldiers approached him gently with their knives, and it wasn't until the moment they drew their knives that Zhao Yige opened his eyes. And Zhao Yige's first sentence after opening his eyes was: "Found it!"
