Chapter 44: The Prisoner Camp

Hearing the commotion of the prisoners under the dungeon, the drunken Missing Tooth Wu Chang became angry: "One catty, you let Chen Guanxi and Zhao Suo clean them up, and don't let them sleep in the middle of the night?" ”

"Whoa." Wang Yijin returned to the dungeon to inform Zhao Suo and Chen Guanxi, and when he saw some prisoners screaming, Zhao Suo sneered and struck a torch on the wooden fence of the prisoner of war in the Tartar Tower, and threatened: "Shout again, Lao Tzu can justifiably burn you, a group of stinky barbarians, pigs and dogs are not as good as things." ”

The captives quickly knew that this man was a cool official, and they stopped shouting, and some of the Tartars did not dare to speak, after all, they were all Northern Tartars, not Baden's henchmen, and the captives sat on the ground in silence.

"Inuyi, just owe it." Zhao Suo said to Wang Yijin, Wang Yijin nodded kindly, and Chen Guanxi looked at Zhang Xiaowu who was sleeping, and guessed the motive for killing.

At dawn the next day, Wu Chang, who was missing his front teeth, finally woke up, and suddenly remembered that last night, a cold sweat flowed out in an instant, and shouted: "One catty, one catty, Wang Yijin, where did you die?" ”

"Whoa." The young jailer trotted over.

"Hurry up and report to Chief Gosh that Badener was killed, by the way, who killed him? That bastard has a lot of strength, otherwise he wouldn't have made me suffer, I think Lao Tzu was also a sergeant who could tear dogs apart, alas...... Who knew that it would be unlucky to meet such a killing god. The Captain couldn't help but laugh, revealing the missing tooth that had been smashed by a punch from Badner not long ago.

Wang Yijin hurriedly replied: "That Badener was killed by the Beiyi scouts in the same room, and his brains were knocked out." ”

"The Beiyi man who was captured by the scouts, that kid almost died of illness and starvation, and it took him seven days to eat a bowl of porridge, can he also kill people?" The missing incisor became suspicious, "I'd rather believe that he died of his own illness." ”

The jailer Zhao Suo also ran over and said: "Chief Wu, he really killed the person, Chen Guanxi and I saw it with our own eyes, that kid killed someone and is still sleeping." Chen Guanxi, who was on the side, also nodded hurriedly.

The chief of the missing front teeth commanded: "Wang Yijin, you go and report, Chen Guanxi, Zhao Suo, you follow me to see that person." ”

After hearing the order, the warden was also frightened and overwhelmed, so he could only report the matter to the authorities. The commander of the camp, Captain Su Yu, was no longer in the camp at this time, and Guan Xiang, the secretary of the march, had to investigate the case himself.

Guan Xiang hurriedly led the guards to the dungeon, but he almost vomited at the door because of the fishy smell here, and the missing incisor Wu Chang said with a smile: "Shangguan, wait for the lowly to send someone to clean the inside, and you will not be too late to go in again." ”

The warden also said, "Yes, it's too dirty inside. ”

"That's it, it's important to get down to business. Chief Gaoshi, these captives are still useful, they must be lived, and your dungeon needs to be cleaned in the future, don't give birth to the plague and cholera of the whole army, why should you explain to the captain? Guan Xiang scolded.

The warden nodded hurriedly to obey the order, and then the group covered their noses and went down to the dungeon, and soon came to the door of Zhang Xiaowu's cell, and saw the body of the dead Badener at a glance, how tragic the death was.

Baden's head was completely smashed, and his brains were scattered all around, smelling of blood. Half of the ground in the cell was covered with blood, which had congealed black, and the other captives immediately cried out when they saw their arrival, and the Tartars were especially excited, threatening to hang the "Beiyi people".

Guan Xiang motioned for the missing front tooth jailer and others to go in and arrest Zhang Xiaowu, several people opened the door and walked over cautiously, and the missing front tooth jailer grabbed Zhang Xiaowu's head and dragged him awake.

"Dog mongrel! Is that the one you killed? Baden was killed by you? The incisor jailer shouted.

Zhang Xiaowu had a severe pain on the top of his head, raised his eyelids and said in Chinese: "Yes, I killed the person, just kill a dog, what's the fuss, Lao Tzu killed an unknown number of dogs in Tucheng." ”

The incisor jailer couldn't help but let go of his hand and stammered, "You...... You...... Are you Han? What did you say? Tucheng? Of the Twenty-seventh Regiment? Are you from the Twenty-seventh Regiment? ”

Zhang Xiaowu got up and said, "Zhang Xiaowu, the captain of the 27th Regiment Yizi Battalion." ”

The jailer with missing front teeth was shocked, turned to look at the clerk Guan Xiang who was covering his mouth, and asked cautiously, "You...... Are you really a school captain? ”

"Yes." Zhang Xiaowu said.

Guan Xiang stood at the door with his nose covered from afar, didn't hear their conversation, and couldn't help but ask: "Hu Sanwan, what is that dog Yi talking about?" ”

Hu Sanwan, the jailer who was missing front teeth, hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Lord Guan, he said that he is the captain of the 27th Regiment Yizi Battalion, he is not a dog, he is a captain." ”

Guan Xiang was also startled, regardless of the stench in the prison, he rushed in and stood in front of Zhang Xiaowu, looked at this dirty guy seriously, and said half-threatening and half-hesitant: "If you lie to us, I will let people pick your skin, so that you will die or die!" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said loudly: "15,000 people from my 27th Regiment and 20,000 people from Tucheng have been holding on for a month and a half, why is there no support army?" Where is this? Who are you? Is this the Jay Mountain Camp? ”

Guan Xiang frowned and intuitively felt that this matter was strange, and he looked at Zhang Xiaowu carefully again, although this person had a scruffy beard and a disheveled head, he didn't look very old, and his eyes were impressive. The news of the slaughter of the entire army of the 27th Regiment and Tucheng had spread throughout Saibei, and the crown prince ordered that the sergeants and civilians of the 27th Regiment who had been killed from Tucheng be treated well. He stared at Zhang Xiaowu's eyes, wanting to see the truth from them, but Zhang Xiaowu looked at him with a frank gaze, which made Guan Xiang hesitate even more.

Chief Gao Shi smiled cautiously on the side and said, "Secretary Guan, this matter ...... Don't blame me for this, it's the Beiyi spies brought back by the scouts, and we don't know. ”

Guan Xiang said: "Don't be gullible, the Beiyi spy looks the same as my holy man, and he can really confuse the real with the fake." Besides, have you ever seen such a young captain? My Qinglong Army can be a captain, and such a young person is not a child of the royal family. He asked, "You said you were a school captain, what kind of school captain was you, and who is your grandfather?" ”

"I am the captain of the Yizi Battalion, and my grandfather is the martial artist of Yongzhou." Zhang Xiaowu said.

"Hahaha, can a martial artist's son be a captain? Still so young? Really when I don't have a brain? Guan Xiao said sharply, "You must be a Beiyi spy, if you want to deceive us, you won't tell lies." ”

Gao Shichang immediately echoed: "I almost fell for him, the Beiyi people are really cunning!" Hu Sanwan, beat him up for me! ”

Hu Sanwan was just about to raise his fist, when he saw Zhang Xiaowu glaring at him coldly, his eyes were full of murderous aura, and even made Hu Sanwan's whole body chill. Thinking that Badener had been killed by him, Hu Sanwan's momentum suddenly became discouraged, and he looked at Gao Shichang and Secretary Guan at a loss.

Gao Shichang hated that iron could not become steel, but he didn't dare to do it, so he had to look at Secretary Guan and ask what to do with his eyes.

Zhang Xiaowu threatened: "You can think about it, beat the captain, I'm afraid you can't afford this responsibility." If I were a lie, I would not tell such a lie that no one believes. ”

"This ...... Again, slow hands. Guan Xiao hurriedly said, in case what this kid said is true, he can't eat and walks around, not to mention that he is a little secretary, even the captain can't afford to bear it. Secretary Guan got up and said, "This matter is very strange, let me ask the captain for some instructions, and you will take this person into custody for the time being." Keep him in solitary confinement, and don't let anyone hurt him. ”

Hu Sanwanxin said: This person was originally held in solitary confinement.

"The corpse should also be cleaned up, and it should not be buried for the time being, but carried outside." Guan Xiang commanded again.

"Whoa."

After Guan Xiang left the dungeon, he immediately looked for the captain to report that at this time, Gao Shichang told Hu Sanwan to treat this person well, in case this person was a military captain, everyone could not afford to be guilty.

After everyone left, Hu Sanwan and the others were confused, whether to let Zhang Xiaowu stay in the dungeon, or let him out, but if he went out, where could he be arranged, and what if he escaped - it was obvious that everyone together couldn't beat this person.

Zhang Xiaowu suddenly said: "Whoever is who, prepare a roast chicken and a pot of wine for me, and I will eat and drink here." ”

"You ......" Hu Sanwan looked at him depressedly, and had to pay out of his own pocket to let Wang Yijin go out of the camp to buy it.

Zhang Xiaowu asked: "Who is that, where is this?" ”

"Wood City."

"Wood City?" Zhang Xiaowu was shocked, "The wooden city can be five hundred miles away from the earth city. ”

"Yes." Hu Sanwan said, "We are the prisoner battalion soldiers under the account of General Cheng Chu of the Sixth Regiment. ”

Zhang Xiaowu frowned: "I never expected that I fled to Jincheng, but I came to Mucheng, which is not far from the two wolves." ”

"It's less than a hundred miles." Hu Sanwan sulked, but he still replied angrily, "My lord is really the captain of the 27th Regiment?" I have heard that less than 100 men of the 27th Regiment have been killed in Tucheng. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "I don't know the situation of other people, but it was night on the day of the fall of Tucheng, and I wore the clothes of the Wuhuan people to take advantage of the chaos to kill." Sergeant Hu, do you know anything else about the 27th Regiment? Do you know where General Shi Jing is? ”

Hu Sanwan said: "I heard that General Shi Jing killed out of Jincheng, and because of the defeat of Tucheng, Shi Jing needs to return to Longdu to explain to the military department. ”

Zhang Xiaowu frowned, the defeat of Tucheng was isolated, what kind of crime did Shi Jing have, why did he need to go to the military department to explain? What needs to be explained is the crown prince, and it is the princelings who are slow to send troops. Shi Jing has the grace of supporting him, and it is also the "high hall" of his wedding, if Shi Jing is wronged, he must not stop there. But even if he has the heart to help and intend to avenge his grievances, how can a small prisoner do it?

"For today's plan, it is important to get out of trouble first." Zhang Xiaowu said, "I am now suspected of being a Beiyi secret agent, I need to prove myself first, otherwise how can I talk about revenge?" How to talk about redress. ”

Hu Sanwan saw that his eyes were not good, and he didn't know what kind of temper this person had, so he said cautiously: "But the prince said that the defeat of Tucheng was due to Shi Jing alone, and the rest of the sergeants of the 27th Regiment are all heroes of my holy Han, so they should be treated well." ”

Zhang Xiaowu sneered, how did Shi Jing offend the prince, and the prince had to put him to death?

There was a restaurant at the entrance of the camp, Wang Yijin was very loss, and brought back roast chicken and spirits, Zhang Xiaowu said: "Come, I invite you to drink, thank you for telling me the news." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare to overstep." Hu Sanwan said busily, he looked at the dirty Zhang Xiaowu, and saw the blood stains on his body, how could he still have the mind to eat and drink, and said: "My lord is here to eat and drink temporarily, I will go down first, here are all dogs, but I see that the adults are not afraid of swallowing mountains and rivers, which really makes the officials admire." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "You go down, and after I release it, I will return the money I owe you several times over." ”

Hu Sanwan shook his head and smiled: "How dare you ask for your money." ”
