Tang Bing was eyeing the tiger, and Yin Bupo was not afraid.

On a cold winter night, Qin Xiao looked at Tang Bing, who was like a wolf and a tiger, and suddenly thought of an extremely terrifying possibility in his heart, he never wanted his conjecture to come true.

"I'm a border guard." Yin Bupo said calmly: "Even if there are only these few hundred people under my command, I am still the general of the empire." It's easy for your knife to cut my throat, but I can assure you that you'll never get out of here after I'm down. ”

Qin Xiao's hand holding the knife was very steady.

If it was a year ago, facing the regular border army of the empire, his sword was still on the neck of the general of the pass, Qin Xiao would not be able to maintain his composure no matter what.

But what he has experienced in the past year is, in many cases, far more dangerous than it is now.

As long as his hands tremble, in the face of the oppression of these Tang soldiers, once his heart collapses, it is very likely that he will die here.

Of course, he took his life very seriously.

In the same way, he knew that once he died here, the news that the Vedic cavalry had gathered at Zhumahu would not be transmitted to the Guannai for another half step.

"You have taken refuge in the Vedas." Qin Xiao finally said: "What benefits did the Wutuo people give you to rebel against the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Yin Bupo laughed and said, "Vedas? I want to kill all the Vedas, and how can I be bought by those blood-drinking beasts? On the contrary, it is you, with a Tang face, who has become a lackey of the Vedic people, hehe, the knife of the Tang Dynasty, the favorite thing is to cut the throat of the Vedic people. ”

"Put down the knife." In the crowd, a gray-armored Tang soldier said in a deep voice: "If you hurt General Yin, you will be broken into pieces." ”

Other Tang soldiers also reprimanded.

Yin Bupo said to the man: "Wenxing, if I die, the border defense will be temporarily taken by you." He said loudly: "Everyone listen, if I make a mistake, everyone will obey the dispatch of Deputy General Mao, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." ”

He seemed to have a death-defying attitude.

"You say I'm a spy, I say you're rebellious, stalemate." Qin Xiao walked slowly behind Yin Bupo, beware of the Tang soldiers around him who would suddenly release cold arrows, and he was on guard, and the blade was always close to Yin Bupo's neck, "In this case, you might as well send someone to investigate outside the pass and see if there is any trace of the Wutuo cavalry." As for you and me, let's go to see General Hei Yu together, the general is wise and wise, who is right and who is wrong, you can always tell the difference. ”

Yin Bupo didn't hesitate and said, "Okay." I sent someone to go out of the pass immediately to investigate, and it will only take a few days to go back and forth, and here in Kunlun Pass, no matter whether there is any trace of the Wutuo people outside the pass, they will be strictly guarded. If you find out that there are indeed Udans outside the gate, I will plead with you, otherwise..... Hehe, you spread rumors to disturb the morale of the army, and you will definitely be tied up and sent to General Black Feather for disposal. ”

"Yes." Qin Xiao didn't hesitate: "Then I'll wait here for a few days, you send scouts to investigate, and you know whether it's true or not." ”

"Mao Wenxing, send an order, immediately send elite scouts out of the customs, go to the area of Zhuma Lake to investigate, if you find a Vedic person, come back immediately to report." Yin Bupo immediately decided: "Also, let all the guards be on full alert, and there must be no mistakes." ”

Adjutant General Mao Wenxing complied with the order.

"But before the scouts come back, I want General Yin to be my companion." Qin Xiao sighed: "I'm worried that your subordinates have a grudge against me, if you don't protect me, my little life may have to be reimbursed here." ”

"Yes." Yin Bupo was very cheerful, and did not hesitate: "Before the scout returns, I will be your hostage." He waved his hand and said, "Stand down!" ”

Tang Bing dodged the road, and Qin Xiao hijacked Yin Bupo into the previous room and closed the door.

Qin Xiao

found a rope in the house, tied Yin Bupo's hands back, Yin Bubu did not resist at all, perhaps knowing that his martial arts were far inferior to Qin Xiao, he let Qin Xiao tie his hands firmly, and then sat down on the chair.

Qin Xiao walked to the window and saw that Mao Wenxing was assigning manpower, most of the Tang soldiers had withdrawn, but there were still several Tang soldiers guarding outside the house.

It didn't take long to hear Mao Wenxing's voice outside the door: "Report to the general, six scouts have been excluded from going out of the customs to find out the news, and the general will order them to go back quickly, according to the route, they should be able to turn back in four days at most." ”

"Okay." Yin Bupo agreed.

After Mao Wenxing retreated, Yin Bupo said: "You said that there are thousands of Wutuo cavalry outside the pass, which is simply nonsense. In recent years, the Vedas have been using troops against the west, and there is no sign of invading Xiling. To attack Xiling, a few thousand soldiers and horses are not enough to mention. ”

Qin Xiao looked at Yin Bupo and said with a faint smile: "General Yin, there is only one reason why you want to kill me, and that is to worry that I will report the situation of the Wutuo army to General Heiyu." ”

After all, Yin Bupo is a border guard, and after a long battle, he is still calm and calm: "Ben will not allow fake news to be sent into the customs. ”

"That's not right." Qin Xiao shook his head and said, "You just don't want General Hei Yu to have thousands of Wutuo cavalry appear outside Kunlun Pass, you are worried that the general is extremely intelligent, and after getting the news, he will be able to guess the purpose of this cavalry." His eyes were cold, staring at Yin Bupo and said: "You have been fighting for the Tang Dynasty for many years, I will call you a general again, General Yin, the purpose of the Wutuo people, I don't know, but you must know, you tell me the truth, what do they want?" Why did you help the Vedas hide their military information? ”

Yin Bupo sneered: "Help the Wutuo people hide the military information? You're underestimating me. ”

Qin Xiao groaned slightly, took out something from his arms, lit it up in front of Yin Bupo, and asked, "Do you recognize this thing?" ”

What Qin Xiao took out was the tiger head jade pendant.

The tiger head jade pendant is given by the emperor to reward the black feather night crow, made in the inner palace, one side is the tiger head, and the other side is written with the word "life", which was originally a death-free card given by the emperor to the black feather night crow, but was rejected by the black feather general, and the tiger head jade pendant only became a proof of the identity of the black feather night crow.

Yin Bupo had obviously heard about this as well, and frowned, "Are you a Black Feather Night Crow?" ”

"Looks like you do recognize the Tiger Head Jade Pendant." Qin Xiao put away the jade pendant: "I am a night crow under the command of General Black Feather, and this jade pendant is enough to prove my identity." So I can give you one last chance, tell me the truth about what you know, this is your last chance. ”

Yin Bupo closed his eyes and did not speak.

"Do you know why I agreed to wait for your scouts to return?" Qin Xiao asked, "Because I don't want to hurt anyone stationed here. You just agreed to my request, and asked me to wait here for the scouts to come back and then distinguish the real from the fake, with only one purpose, to keep me here, you are just delaying time. ”

Yin Bupo's body was shocked, and he opened his eyes, his gaze cold.

"You're already on the edge of a cliff, and if you take another wrong step, you won't be able to turn back." Qin Xiao walked behind Yin Bupo and said in a cold voice, "Why don't you let this military information be quickly sent to General Hei Yu?" What the hell are you doing with the Vedas? Or...... Who instructed you to do this? ”

Yin Bupo looked at Qin Xiao's eyes, and suddenly smiled: "The Black Feather Night Crow is really good, you are young, you can't imagine that you are so shrewd." ”

"You admit to hiding military information for the Vedas?" Qin Xiao's face was grim.

"Why I'm doing this, you'll soon know." Yin Bupo said calmly.

Qin Xiao said angrily: "Yin Bupo, you are the guard of the Tang Dynasty, eat well."

It was the meal of the imperial court, and it actually colluded with the Vedas to rebel against the imperial court. What benefits did the Wutuo people give you, you actually forgot your ancestors and betrayed the Tang Dynasty? ”

"Everything I do is for Datang." Yin Bupo sneered: "I am favored by Datang, and for the sake of Datang, I will not hesitate to break my bones." ”

Qin Xiao saw that his expression was solemn, and his tone was firm, but he was a little stunned in his heart.

Yin Bupo's words don't seem to be defending himself, but he really has faith in his heart, so he is full of confidence when he speaks.

But intercepting himself to report the military situation to General Hei Yu, this is clearly covering up the actions of the Vedas, such a treasonous act, how can Yin Bupo have the confidence to say that this is for the Tang Dynasty?

Qin Xiao was silent for a moment, then suddenly walked around the room, and even looked out of the back window, and finally said, "This room is very good!" ”

What he said was clueless, and Yin Bupo didn't understand the meaning for a while: "What? ”

"Just now your subordinates surrounded me, and I took you hostage, do you think I can leave safely?" Qin Xiao suddenly put a hand on Yin Bupo's shoulder, leaned close to Yin Bupo's ear and whispered, "Will they really stop me here regardless of your life or death?" ”

Yin Bupo said: "Fortunately, you didn't try. My life isn't as important as you think, and if you hadn't promised to stay, but had taken me hostage, I'd guarantee you'd be shot as a hedgehog by now. ”

"It seems that you really have the heart to die." Qin Xiao nodded slightly: "I believe that you are indeed willing to sacrifice your life in order to prevent General Hei Yu from getting information. ”

"So if you stay here honestly, maybe you'll be able to live after the incident." Yin Bupo is calm and composed.

Qin Xiao smiled: "You are willing to sacrifice your life to intercept the intelligence, and I can also desperately send the information to the Black Feather General." You want to keep me here, but it's a pity that the king of heaven can't stop me. Suddenly, he used both hands to grab Yin Bupo sideways.

Yin Bupo was shocked in his heart, he couldn't imagine that Qin Xiao's strength was so terrifying.

Qin Xiao didn't hesitate at all, grabbed Yin Bupo and rushed to the back of the house, there was a window, a wooden window lattice, and a cotton cloth to block the cold wind, but Qin Xiao had already used Yin Bupo as a hammer, and slammed Yin Bupo into the back window.

The wooden lattice of the rear window was not very strong, Yin Bupo was wearing iron armor, and this heavy smash had already smashed the rear window open.

Qin Xiao threw Yin Bupo out of the window, and the whole person had already rushed out of the window, dragging Yin Bupo with one hand, and holding the scimitar with the other, and rushed straight towards several horses not far away.

Yin Bupo had already understood, and shouted loudly: "Come on, the spy wants to run ......!" ”

Qin Xiao didn't care about him at all, getting closer and closer to the horse, and two spear-wielding Tang soldiers rushed out from the side, and the spears poked at Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao slashed with a swing of his knife, cut off a spear, leaned back to dodge another spear, swung his knife again, and cut off the spear as well, like a cheetah, he had already rushed to the side of a war horse, raised his knife to cut off the reins of the horse tied to the stake, threw Yin Bupo on the horse, and turned over on the horse himself.

Tang Bing obviously didn't expect Qin Xiao to break out of the back window, Tang Bing, who was guarding the front door, heard the movement, shouted, and quickly rushed to the back.

The neighing of horses in the barracks, Mao Wenxing had already turned over and jumped on a horse, shouting, "Don't let the spy run away." The horse rushed to the back, and saw a fast horse rowing not far in front of him, and it was Qin Xiao on horseback, and the horse was like lightning, rushing eastward.
