Chapter 16, Seeing the Gentleman
Bai Qi led the army to the east gate. A sergeant glanced back and asked, "General, why don't you see Fan Xiang?" Bai Qi groaned for a moment: "He...... He didn't make it out and was arrested. ”
The army was shocked: "If we lose the commander, we will be tortured." ”
The Qin army decreed that the commander was captured or killed, and the sergeant in charge of the guard was guilty and beheaded. Therefore the crowd was horrified. Bai shook his head: "I don't blame you for this, Fan Xiang's legs and feet are inconvenient, so he couldn't jump up, and besides, this is not in front of the two armies, you can rest assured." ”
One of them said: "But if we go back like this, even if the king does not punish us, we will no longer have prestige in the army in the future, and the white eyes of the brothers will not be pleasant." ”
Another person chimed in: "Yes, even if the brothers don't have to look at us with blank eyes, we will feel ashamed in our hearts, how can we be at ease!" ”
Bai Qi said angrily: "Life and death are fate, there is no need to say more. Escort the money out of the city first, and then take care of it. ”
The crowd did not dare to speak.
In the blink of an eye, it has arrived at the city of Dongcheng, because Wang Jian does not attack the east gate, so there are not many guards here, Bai Qi glanced at it, there are less than sixty people, all on the city wall, and there are only more than ten soldiers in the city gate cave to protect it, in case there are spies stealing the city gate.
Bai Qi ordered them to put down their pockets, and he took twenty people with him and walked to the city gate.
There was a deputy general flag in the city gate cave, who was looking from east to west, and suddenly saw more than 20 Ming army brothers coming, so he asked: "Have the thieves retreated?" ”
Bai Qi replied: "It looks like we're going to retreat, let's change the guard." You can go and rest. ”
The deputy chief flag yawned: "It's been tossing in the middle of the night, it's time to go and get a good night's sleep." He stretched out his hand: "Bring it." ”
Bai Qiyi frowned: "What? ”
The deputy chief flag said: "The arrow of the change of defense." ”
Bai Qi pretended to be doing it and suddenly realized: "It's exactly, I almost forgot." He beckoned back: "Bring the arrow." ”
The twenty Qin soldiers behind him stepped forward together, turned around and touched the waist of one of the Qin soldiers, and at the same time made a look at everyone, all the soldiers understood, and they were on guard.
Bai Qi handed his hand to the general flag: "Please look at the ...... of the arrow" said with his palm.
When the deputy general flag looked, Bai Qi's hands were empty, and there was nothing.
At the moment when he was stunned, Bai raised his hand and fell, and he had already slashed him over.
At the same time, twenty Qin army spears behind him came out together, knocking the more than ten Ming soldiers to the ground almost at the same time. Pity those Ming soldiers before they understood, so they went into the ghost gate in a daze to change their guards.
As soon as they started here, the twenty Qin soldiers hidden over there picked up their cloth bags and rushed to the city gate.
Because the Qin army attacked very suddenly, those Ming troops barely let out any screams, and the Ming troops on the city wall only stared at the outside of the city, so they did not notice the changes under the city at all.
Bai Qi commanded in a low voice: "Open the city gate." ”
Five or six Qin soldiers went over, removed the waist-thick city gate latch, and quietly opened a crack in the door. Bai Qi ordered everyone to go out of the city and walk against the city wall, so as not to be discovered by the defenders of the city.
Forty Qin soldiers went out of the city gate one by one.
Bai Qi walked at the back, waited for him to leave the city, and gently touched the hem of his coat.
It was stained with oil, lamp oil.
These lamp oils were from the silver treasury, and when Qin Jun was busy loading the silver, Bai Qi quietly dipped some lamp oil and smeared it on his clothes.
No one found out.
After he jumped on the high wall in the backyard, he wiped a few handfuls of oil clothes with his hands, and the palms of his hands were stained with oil and became very slippery, so Fan Ju slipped under the wall and fell into the hands of the enemy.
No one knows all this, even Fan Ju himself only thinks that he is unlucky.
Bai Qi finally avenged the revenge of his previous life.
He couldn't forget the moment before he killed himself, he conquered the Qin State and shocked the world, but in the end he ended up like this, he was unwilling, and before he died, he swore that if there was an afterlife, he would definitely seek revenge on Fan Ju.
Unexpectedly, 1,800 years later, this opportunity actually came.
He calculated all this very carefully.
But at this time, there was no joy in his heart, on the contrary, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
The words Fan Ju said before he slipped down should be sincere. I took revenge with such despicable means, will I be ashamed for the rest of my life in the future?
Alas, no matter what, after all, it is revenge, and you should always be happy.
Bai Qi walked out of the city, but after only a few steps, his footsteps stopped again: Fan Ju fell into the hands of the enemy, and his death was certain, but if the enemy tortured him to extract a confession, would he confide the truth? This person is a literati and can't stand torture...... In this way, King Qin's ambitions will be exposed in advance, and King Qin will never agree to go back like this.
Although Bai Qi had never seen Ying Zheng when he was alive, he vaguely felt that this King of Qin was far more powerful than King Qin Zhao. He is wise, martial, and genius, and he never rubs sand in his eyes. Forty people came by himself, but there was no Fan Ju, a person who had an enmity with him, even an idiot would doubt him.
No, you can't go!
Bai Qi stopped, and those Qin troops also stopped, and Bai Qi commanded in a low voice: "Twenty people in front, go back with money, and twenty people in the back, follow me to rescue Fan Xiang......"
Everyone was overjoyed, and quickly handed the cloth bag to the people in front, and the twenty people behind slipped back to the city gate with Bai Qi.
Bai Qi ordered: "Don't close the city gate, let's go to the county office." ”
He strode ahead, his heart at peace. He vaguely felt that the decision he made was not for the great cause of King Qin, nor for his future fate, but a kind of salvation, a salvation for his soul.
A manly man, even if he wants to take revenge, he must be innocent and upright.
Not to mention that these more than 20 people rushed to the county government murderously, just talking about the county order, regardless of the enemy troops outside the city, escorted Fan Ju to the yamen and pressed it directly on the hall.
The county order returned to his seat, and he was shocked: "Bold thieves, stealing treasury silver, the crime is not punishable, if you recruit accomplices, there is no thief's nest in the city, and you can be spared from death." ”
The officials on both sides shouted in unison: "Speak quickly......"
Fan Ju didn't reply, just pointed to his mouth, ahhhh
The county commander sneered: "Pretend to be deaf and dumb, hum, come on, whip him fifty lashes first, and beat him until he can speak." The officials on both sides came up, took off Fan Ju's shirt, exposed his back, two people grabbed hands, two people pressed their legs, and the other two took out leather whips, dipped them in cold water, one left and one right, and pumped violently.
Every time the whip went down, it was a blood stain, which hurt into the heart and lungs, Fan Ju endured the pain, gritted his teeth and did not say a word.
He had the experience of being tortured once. In his previous life, Fan Ju was a guest of Wei Guo's doctor Xu Jia, because he was suspected of secretly communicating with Qi State, betraying Wei State, and was whipped by Wei Xiang Wei Qi, and was almost beaten to death, he pretended to be dead, so he was able to escape. This time, the beating was lighter than that time, so it was still able to withstand it.
Fifty lashes have been beaten, Fan Ju still did not speak, and the county commander sneered: "You think clearly, those accomplices have a lot of money, there is nowhere to hide, and now the four doors are closed, as long as I order the whole city to search, I will soon be caught, you can recruit now, and you can also make a contribution and avoid heavy punishment." ”
Fan Ju was so painful that he didn't even have the strength to speak, just gasped for air. The county order waited for a while, but there was no movement, and he slapped the table angrily: "Give me a punishment, a big punishment......"
There was a clatter, the stick was thrown in front of him, and two servants brought a charcoal brazier, in which a soldering iron was burned.
Fan Ju looked at it, his heart was cold, he didn't know if he could endure such torture. As soon as the stick is attached, the man's leg is nullified. At the lightest, you can't walk for half a year.
As soon as the county commander waved his hand, several errand officers came over, grabbed Fan Ju's leg, and was about to get on the clamp.
