Chapter 272: Behavior is Beautiful (1)
In the blink of an eye, Zhong Hou had returned to the dark hall.
After going through two exams, Zhong Hou began to find some feelings.
For the first time, he still upheld a kind heart no matter what the outside world said, so he got full marks.
The second time, he used language to point out the four rich second generations, so he also got full marks. Although Zhong Hou can no longer see what happened later, after his ignition, it is estimated that the bad habits of three women and one man in the past are slowly changing.
Sure enough, the girl's voice sounded again, and it was announced again that Zhong Hou had received a perfect score for the second question.
In the third question, the scene changes again, and this clock is already outside an ancient city.
This time, Zhong Hou is no longer alone, let alone his original identity, he is now the leader of a scout team, leading five of his subordinates to gather intelligence in the field.
These memories had been incorporated into his mind when he first entered this world, as if he had been born here, a scout team leader, and had no sense of disobedience.
The reason why we need to collect intelligence is because the world is currently in troubled times, and the northern barbarians are invading from the south.
When attacking the city, it is natural that it will inevitably encounter the confrontation between the two armies.
Just as the barbarian army had just captured the city, the southern army was planning to regain the lost territory.
As a scout squad leader of the Northern Barbarians, it is a matter of course to lead his team to collect enemy intelligence.
That's right, Zhong Hou is now in the northern barbarian formation, and he is the side of the invaders.
In this regard, Zhong Hou did not feel much except speechless.
Southerners are human beings, and northerners are human beings, and there is no difference in nature.
The reason why they are called barbarians is just that there are differences in physical characteristics and culture.
Fighting on the battlefield, you come and go, there are mutual casualties, and the battle between the cultivators of the Star Continent is also indistinguishable in nature.
This is the case in the world of the jungle, so Zhong Hou has no opinion on the invaders and the invaded.
Straight to the point.
Zhong Hou and his five subordinates secretly shuttled through the woods and grasses outside the city, looking up at the southern army camp from time to time in order to collect intelligence for the strategic and tactical deployment of his own army.
Intelligence needs to be timely, it needs to be updated, and it's useless when it's outdated, so scouts usually act in batches.
Every other hour, a new batch of scouts will be dispatched, and every other hour, the scouts who have been sent out before will bring back new information, and the cycle repeats.
You have scouts, I have scouts, who is not stronger than whom, who is not weaker than whom.
When the two scouts meet, it is naturally a matter of life and death.
Of course, if the situation allows, both sides are more willing to capture the enemy scout alive, because they can get more and more useful information from the other scout.
So, Zhong Hou and the six people discovered this scene during the investigation.
Dozens of unlucky bastards were captured alive, tied to pillars and beaten with leather whips by enemy soldiers.
One by one, the skin and flesh were blurred, and there was a terrible scream, and the five subordinates were terrified.
Zhong Hou frowned, and just wanted to come to the rescue, but perhaps it was affected by the memory of the original owner, and the action immediately stopped.
He is now just a small scout squad leader, to put it bluntly, he is a small soldier, and a small soldier should do the things of a small soldier, and a hero is not what a small soldier should do at all, and random participation is likely to affect the entire overall situation.
With his strength, it will naturally be easy to rescue the five people, but in this way, the enemy will know that he has a master like him, which will have a great impact on the strategic deployment of both sides, and the prior plan will definitely be disrupted.
In order to take care of the overall situation, Zhong Hou decided to choose to give up the rescue.
After exploring the area under his charge with five of his men, he led the team to retreat.
It's just that on the road, the blood-drenched image of the captured scout can't be dispersed in Zhong Hou's mind for a long time.
Taking care of the overall situation is taking care of the overall situation, but with Zhong Hou's character, he can't bear to see death and not save him.
With this mixed emotion, the six returned to the ancient city.
Zhong Hou was already outside the city as soon as he arrived in this world, and this was the first time he stepped into the ancient city.
As far as the eye can see, the people in the city who are ragged and skinny and skinny are carrying out the work of strengthening the city wall under the supervision of the barbarian soldiers.
Although reluctantly, under the sharp knives and leather whips of the barbarians, the people could only grit their teeth and hold on with tears in their eyes, and no one dared to resist.
Zhong Hou saw that the oldest was past his prime, and the youngest was only in his teens.
Dozens of pounds of large stones are like 10,000 pounds to them, and it often takes two or three people to move.
As long as the movement is a little slower, they are greeted by a whip.
When he really fell to the ground from exhaustion, the brute soldiers not only did not sympathize, but also made up for the last sword, ending the other party's miserable life, and then asked the people who accompanied him to carry the corpse out of the city.
Further into the city, the rest of the people were no better.
Burning, killing, looting, and robbing people's daughters abound.
The barbarians don't treat the people here as human beings at all.
Zhong Hou saw all this scene, and then asked his subordinates, "Do you usually do this?"
One of his subordinates was not ashamed but proud, and said: "Those southerners are untouchables, not for our entertainment, what value do they have... Hahaha... ”
"Captain,Let me tell you.,That day I also played with a girl who had just given birth.,That's really cool.。。。 ”
As soon as the topic opened, the five subordinates began to show off their 'achievements', and Zhong Hou was furious when he heard it, and he wanted to break the five people into pieces on the spot.
However, reason told him that even if the five people were killed, it would not change the outcome, and the people in the city would still not be able to escape from the sea of suffering.
Unless he kills all the brutes here.
It's not impossible, but it's a 30-point question, and if you can pass it by violence alone, it's too easy.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Zhong Hou sent the five people away.
The five of his subordinates can rest a little and wait for the next mission, but Zhong Hou needs to go to his boss to report the information.
According to the memories that were fused in his mind, Zhong Hou came to a martial arts arena.
This is the scout's temporary office.
Before entering the camp tent, Zhong Hou saw several iron pots set up outside, and at the same time, some soldiers kept pouring water into them and adding wood to the bottom of the pots, and they almost caught fire.
Obviously, these iron pots are prepared to boil water, but I don't know why they boil water in the martial arts arena for no reason.
Zhong Hou walked into the camp tent with doubts, saw his immediate boss, and after reporting the information he had gathered, he asked, "My lord, what are the iron pots outside?"
"Hahaha... Just in time ... This is a fun thing that I just learned from Nanren, called cooking. I won't tell you the specifics first, I'll take you to see it. ”
With that, the lord took Zhong Hou and his subordinates back to the martial arts arena.
Then, Zhong Hou saw a group of soldiers escorting a group of prisoners to several iron pots.
As Zhong Hou saw in the southern military camp, the captives began to be questioned for all kinds of information, but as long as they did not answer, or answered unsatisfactorily, they were subjected to inhuman abuse.
But the abuse is done in a very different way.
Zhong Hou finally knew what cooking was.
Being whipped with a leather whip is unbearable pain at best, but being thrown into a pot and watching your flesh slowly cook is a terrible experience.
Zhong Hou just watched from the sidelines, and instantly had an urge to slaughter all the barbarians.
Not to mention that Zhong Hou is not from this world, even if he saw this kind of tragedy with his own eyes, he couldn't stand by and watch.
It's not about formation, it's just about humanity.
In the cultivation world, the weak eat the strong, but even if it is a mortal enemy, they will usually give the enemy a good time, and they will rarely commit such a perverted act of torture and killing.
Therefore, Zhong Hou couldn't bear it anymore.
