The strong man who was executed knelt Qin Luo and the Great Master on the ground, and rested the wrist-thick stick on his hips, which made the Great Master tremble. He really didn't expect that he would be insulted like this when he became a high-ranking and powerful national teacher of Xiang Qiang. And all of this is Qin Luo's culprit.

Thinking of this, Tuoba Ling turned his head viciously to look at Qin Luo, who was also punished, but saw that although he was humbly pressed to the ground, his expression was light, as if he didn't care.

"One!" With the indifferent report of the executioner, the first stick was hit unguarded.

"Ahh The great master shouted, but Qin Luo didn't make a sound. Tuoba Ling suddenly felt even more ashamed. He bit his sleeve with all his might, broke his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach, never losing face in front of Qin Luo again.

"Two!" The punishment continues......

Alem turned around stealthily, trying to ignore the sound of sticks ringing in his ears, not wanting to look at it or listen to it again. Abutai was also expressionless when he saw it, as if his heart had no fluctuations. General Kutulu kept his eyes closed, and his face became heavier and heavier.

Blacksmith Sun was still in the tent, he secretly sweated for Qin Luo, Qin Luo, Qin Luo, why do you bother? He did not support this practice of injuring 10,000 enemies and injuring 8,000 himself.

After hitting the ten sticks, Qin Luo's breathing was slightly short, and cold sweat flowed from his cheeks to the ground. And the situation of the Great Master was not much better than Qin Luo, his hair was already soaked with sweat from pain, and his hands were no longer able to clench, as if he was about to faint.

By the time the twenty rods were over, not only Qin Luo and the Great Master, but everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as if it had been a long, long time. Alam and Abutai hurriedly stepped forward to support Qin Luo, and General Kutulu helped up the great division, and the khan looked at the sweaty two, and said compassionately: "Send them back to rest, and you all retreat." ”

"Qin Luo, are you okay, I'll carry you?" As soon as Alam came out of the tent, he immediately asked.

"I'm fine, thank you." Qin Luo was voluntarily beaten this time, and he was already mentally prepared. With the help of Alem's force, he limped slowly and slowly towards his tent.

At this time, the great division also came out with the support of General Kutulu. When passing by Qin Luo's side, Tuoba Ling stopped and said in Qin Luo's ear: "Count you ruthless." But be careful, and be careful with the blacksmith who sings duets with you, I won't give up. ”

Qin Luo's reaction was that there was no reaction, it had not been a day or two since he had a quarrel with the great master, but the blacksmith Sun had to expose him this time and let him get involved in this matter.

During the period of recuperation, the great master did not forget to continue to look for Qin Luo's flaws. He sent out someone to check on the blacksmith Sun, and after checking for a long time, he found that although the blacksmith Sun was from Chu, he came to Xiangqiang very early and mingled with the blacksmiths of Qingyun without any problems.

Hearing that his subordinates got this answer, the great master patted the wooden table next to the bed angrily, "Impossible, recheck it for me!" ”

"Great Master, take care of your health." The subordinates saw that the great master was affected by his anger, and he grinned in pain.

"Shut up." Now Tuoba Ling is most annoyed by others mentioning this matter, which is a stain on his life. Tuoba Ling slowed down, "Go, check again." Qin Luo and the blacksmith answered each other seamlessly. Either they've had the word right before, or they've known it. ”

The great master guessed well, Qin Luo and the blacksmith Sun didn't say the right words before, and they didn't even have time to ventilate and report the news. And Liu Changfeng couldn't guess what Qin Luo wanted to do at all, and he couldn't give blacksmith Sun a hint.

Fortunately, in the Great Khan's Tent, Qin Luo and Blacksmith Sun both relied on their understanding and trust in each other to perfectly defeat the great masters.

Craftsman Zou was imprisoned by the Great Master for several days, and the soldiers interrogated and tortured him, leaving him exhausted and drenched in blood. By the time Qin Luo sent someone to rescue him, Craftsman Zou was already dying.

In order to show his friendliness, Tuoba Yan also sent a witch doctor to show the craftsmen, and when the craftsman Zou came to his senses, Qin Luo dragged his body and limped over to visit him.

"Craftsman Zou, you ...... suffered. Qin Luo blamed himself for facilitating the cooperation between the two sides, but he did not protect the craftsmen of the Chu State.

Craftsman Zou experienced the catastrophe of life and death, lost a lot of weight, and his eyes were a little gloomy. He had been tortured so much that at last he saw a kind person, and before he could speak, he wept. While crying silently, he choked up while holding Qin Luo's hand: "Little Sixth and Fourth Son, they ...... He's dead. ”

"Mourning...... It's my fault that I didn't protect you. "Qin Luo has heard that two craftsmen did not survive and were killed. He was even more angry at what the great masters had done, and twenty rods could not withstand the lives and sufferings of these craftsmen.

"Lord Qin, you are a good person, you warned us in advance." Craftsman Zou wiped his tears, "I'm ...... We should have escaped sooner. ”

Qin Luo comforted and said: "Now that everything has passed, the Khan is benevolent, rescues you, and also sends troops to escort you back to the Chu State." ”

Craftsman Zou was a little distrustful of the Khan, and he was suspicious: "Didn't the Khan need the skills of firearms to arrest us?" ”

Qin Luo explained: "It was the Great Master who made his own decision and arrested you, and the Khan didn't know about it. Khan is very sorry for what the great master has done. ”

"The great master tortured us, but we didn't say anything, and the little fourth son would rather die." Craftsman Zou wiped his face with his hand and wiped the tears on his face, "Khan doesn't have to apologize for the wicked, and I won't forgive Xiang Qiang." ”

Qin Luo knew that the Chu people and the Xiang Qiang people already had a deep blood feud, and they finally formed an alliance, but because of greed, they were almost destroyed. I'm afraid that the Zou craftsmen went back to inform the imperial court of this matter, and the Chu State probably won't help the Qingyun Department anymore.

"Craftsman Zou, the state of Chu is weak now, and it is a good thing to be able to form an alliance with Qingyun. The great master has gone too far, and the khan has also disposed of him and sought justice for you. I do not ask you to let go of this hatred, but I beg you not to destroy the alliance between the two countries. ”

"Lord Qin, I am a rough person, I have never read a book, and I don't understand the general trend of the country. But I believe you, you are a good person, and you will not commit treason. I've always wanted to ask, why are you ...... Why stay in Xiangqiang? Craftsman Zou was a little unhappy, "I don't believe that the Khan is benevolent, and I don't need the Khan's escort." Lord Qin, don't stay here, go back to Dachu with us. ”

Qin Luo listened to Craftsman Zou's touching words, a little moved, but also a little regretful. He smiled bitterly and said, "Craftsman Zou, you think too simply. I have become a military advisor in Xiangqiang, and I can't go back. ”

Qin Luo remembered that he had returned to Dachu and returned to his hometown, but he was blinded by everyone, and some people even threw stones at Qin Luo's house. Moreover, Qin Luo has the responsibility of recovering his homeland on his shoulders, he is an intermediary and has to stay.

However, these are not enough for outsiders either.

Craftsman Zou couldn't persuade Qin Luo, so he had to say: "Okay, Lord Qin, since you don't want to go back, there must be your own reasons, so I won't ask." I don't know what to say, my lord, you are in Xiangqiang...... Take care. ”

Qin Luo thanked Craftsman Zou for his understanding, and he nodded and said, "Craftsman Zou, you also take care." If you don't want the Khan to send troops to escort you, I will let people secretly protect you, you can go back with confidence. ”
