Chapter 302 [Death Row Night?] Dead soldiers? 】
Xiao Mu saw the group of knights leaving, so he urged him to come forward, turned over and dismounted, walked to Han Mo's side, and asked softly, "My lord, are you okay?" Those people ......! ”
Han Mo looked at Xiao Mu and shook his head: "It's okay." Let's bring the food back first. Xiao Mu immediately ordered the cavalry over there to bring back the grain, and then whispered to Han Mo: "My lord, that person's kung fu is really not weak, what do you want to do after robbing the grain and returning it?" ”
Han Mo groaned slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Captain Xiao Hu, have you ever heard of the name 'Mo Twelve Lang'?" ”
Xiao Mu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it." The man...... It's called Mo Twelve? After a pause, he said softly: "I'm afraid this name is fake...... They act quickly, come and go like the wind, and this person's martial arts are extremely high, he is definitely not a nameless, he wears a mask, and reports such a fake name, I am afraid that he will not dare to reveal his true identity! ”
Han Mo waved his hand and said, "Let's go, it's getting dark, cross the Centipede Ridge earlier!" ”
At that moment, everyone brought the grain back to the official road, and when they saw that the formation of the convoy was in order, the panic had passed.
When Miao Wu saw Han Mo and the others coming out of the woods, his tense face relaxed slightly, and he stepped forward quickly, and said respectfully: "I am incompetent, I was robbed of food by them, and I ask my lord to condemn him!" ”
He was in charge of the rear of the convoy, and Mo Shishilang opened the gap from the rear and rushed away to grab food, so he had to take the initiative to ask for guilt.
Han Mo waved his hand and said: "Miao Shenling doesn't need to blame himself, this gang of thieves is not an ordinary person, and they are well prepared, and they chose this place where it is easy to escape, no wonder you." Fortunately, the grain has been recaptured, and it is no big problem...... Let's hurry up, this centipede ridge can't stay for long. ”
Miao Wu saw that Han Mo actually took back the batch of robbed grain, a bag of a lot, and admired it even more in his heart, and he didn't say much at the moment, shouting that the convoy was moving forward again, that is, to cross the Centipede Ridge as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the drizzle had stopped, the convoy lit torches, and walked forward, under the guidance of the guide, finally crossed the Centipede Ridge, to the foot of the mountain, and the front was already a flat river.
The convoy traveled another way, and the people and horses were so tired that they couldn't go to the village or the store, so they found an open place to camp and rest for the night.
That spy was no longer in human form at this time, and when Han Mo came to him, this person's eyes were misty, his qi was weak, and even his breath was much weaker, and he couldn't last long when he saw it.
Han Mo looked at him very kindly with a hint of a smile, and said softly, "Do you want to hold on?" I can't hold it anymore, nod, I'll give you the best food ......! ”
People always think that torture is the greatest form of torture, but in fact sometimes the means of torture are very simple, and starvation is the simplest way.
Just like in history, the people may be able to endure the whipping and the humiliation, but it is difficult to endure hunger.
People who have not been afflicted by hunger never know the fear that hunger brings.
The complexion on the secret agent's face was already pale and bloodless, and his eyes had lost their initial murderous aura, let alone their initial sharpness, and he just looked at Han Mo gloomily, without nodding or shaking his head.
Han Mo stretched out his hand and took out the cotton cloth stuffed in the secret agent's mouth, he didn't have to worry that the secret agent would bite his tongue and kill himself, this kid was weak at this time, even if he was afraid that he didn't even have the strength to bite his tongue, even if he wanted to, with Han Mo's skills, he could stop it in an instant.
The secret agent's lips were blue, he gasped, and said softly, "Give it to me...... Give me ...... water! ”
Han Mo took off the water bag from his waist and fed him two sips of water, then put away the water bag and said warmly: "You should have said it!" ”
"It's not...... It's not that I don't want to say! The spy said weakly: "I...... I don't know who sent me to burn the grain...... I'm taking people's money...... Eliminate disasters for people......! ”
"Take people's money and eliminate disasters for people?" Han Mo frowned: "Whose money did you take, and for whom did you eliminate the disaster?" ”
The spy smiled bitterly: "That's it, so far, I'm afraid that my family will also die...... If you are smart, why don't you think about it, I was caught by you, why didn't anyone come to save me along the way? Even if they don't save me, they ...... They ought to send someone to silence them...... Why don't they do it? ”
Han Mo smiled faintly: "You should tell me this, right?" ”
"Because they know...... You don't get anything ...... from me! The spy stared at Han Mo and said, "Because I know too little, even if I tell you what I know, you won't notice anything, they ...... There's no need to risk my useless ......! ”
Han Mo held his chin, looked at the secret agent, and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Chen Cang!"
"Where?"
"Yan Guild Ji County!"
"Are you from Yan Kingdom?" Han Mo frowned and asked, feeling disgust in his heart: "Since you are from the Yan Kingdom, do you know what this grain is used for?" Do you want to watch your compatriots starve to death? ”
Chen Cang's eyes showed a look of guilt in the depths of his eyes, and he lowered his head.
Han Mo frowned, but he was shocked in his heart, this Chen Cang is a native of Yan Kingdom, could it be that this time it was not the enemy country's spies who planned to burn grain, but people from within Yan Kingdom?
Could it be that which family wants to do it?
"If it weren't for our boss, I'm afraid I'd have died a long time ago." Chen Cang hung his head and said, "Three years ago, I accidentally injured someone, and that person died, and I was put on death row...... Only wait for death! ”
Han Mo stared at him and listened.
"But before the execution, I was rescued from prison one night......!" Chen Cang said slowly: "Since that day, I have been taken to an extremely remote manor, where there is no movement outside, only a group of death row prisoners like me, and the person who rescued us is our boss ......!" ”
Han Mo said lightly: "He saved you, naturally it wasn't any kindness!" ”
"From that day on, we were trained by the boss, and there were 38 of them...... I don't know if there are any people like us, I just know that eighteen of us are grouped into the 'Ethoxin Group'. We are all trained at night, practicing killing, practicing lurking...... The boss told us that as long as we are obedient, we will not worry about food and clothing, and our family will be safe and ......! ”
Han Mo held his chin, just looked at Chen Cang, and didn't speak.
"We don't know where the manor we live in, I just know that for three years, we have been training repeatedly, eating, drinking, and sleeping every day, all according to the boss's arrangement." Chen Cang gasped, he looked at Han Mo's waist: "Give me water to drink again!" ”
Han Mo threw the water bag to him, Chen Cang took the water bag, drank all the water in the water bag in one go, and then wiped the corners of his mouth, and said: "Thirty-eight people, some of them couldn't stand the harsh training, and they died halfway, and their corpses were devoured by two big wolf dogs in front of our eyes...... By the time we had this operation, there were only eighteen people left! The corners of his mouth twitched, and a hint of horror finally appeared in his eyes.
"You are their instruments...... They have stripped you of the last of your humanity and turned it into a tool for murder. A sneer appeared at the corner of Han Mo's mouth, "Sometimes, it is much more noble to meet death as a human than to survive as a beast!" ”
Chen Cang raised his head and said, "That's a nice thing, do you know that the boss told us that if we die in battle, our family will always be rich and noble, but if we are...... If we die because we can't resist training, then our family will suffer the same fate, and for the sake of our family, we must survive! ”
Han Mo felt a chill in his heart, so it seemed that the group of people in Chen Cang's mouth, the "boss", were really insidious and vicious, and had no humanity.
"Who's your boss?" Han Mo asked.
Chen Cang shook his head and said: "I don't know, in the past three years, every time he appeared, he wore a mask and a big black robe, hiding his body inside, and we didn't even look at his hands, just listened to him assign one task after another for us...... It wasn't until two days before that night that we received orders from the boss to attack your convoy. The boss ordered us to assassinate your men at night, change into your clothes, and then blend into the convoy while the time is ...... to change guards! ”
"What does that group of cavalry have to do with you?"
"Cavalry?" Chen Cang looked dazed: "What cavalry?" ”
Han Mo saw that his expression was not fake, and he immediately understood that this group of assassins who were sneaking up on the town didn't even know that there was a group of cavalry cooperating with their actions, so it seemed that the mastermind behind the planning of that operation was really extremely cautious.
"You go on!"
Chen Cang continued: "The boss promised us that as long as we complete the task, he will let us go, and each of us will have fifty taels of gold ......!" ”
Han Mo sneered: "It's just a dream, even if you do it, you're just a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered." They are so intent on training you that they will use your weapons for a while, and when they are finished, do you think they will still expose your tools? ”
Chen Cang was gloomy for a while and did not speak.
"The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackeys are cooking, the birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden!" Han Mo said lightly: "Do you remember where the manor you trained was?" ”
Chen Cang shook his head and said, "I don't know...... When I was rescued, I was blindfolded and rode to the manor in a carriage, and when I came out, I came out like that...... The manor was large, but it looked remote, and there had not been anyone we had seen in three years, except for the boss and us...... There have also been people who tried to escape secretly, but they were caught before they left the manor, and they were cut off by the boss in front of us that night......! After a pause, he glanced at Han Mo and said, "You know what happened later, we are lurking in it, and we are ...... by you!" ”
Han Mo stood up, put his hands behind his back, and thought for a long time before he said, "That's all you know?" ”
"Yes!" Chen Cang smiled bitterly: "I can still tell you...... Before we acted, we had no idea that your food was for disaster relief......! ”
Han Mo said to the guard soldier next to him, "Get him some food...... Look forward to his ......! Ignore it, but turn away.
According to Chen Cang's explanation, as Chen Cang himself said, Han Mo couldn't get too many useful clues from it, and the mastermind behind the scenes obviously did enough secrecy work and was seamless.
Han Mo couldn't tell whether the so-called "boss" was the local force of Yan State or the training point set up by the enemy country in Yan State, it had not been revealed in the past three years, so the concealment must have been done extremely well.
If it is an enemy country, if it is a native country, then this force is really a little terrifying, and its heart is also extremely vicious!
When he thought about it, he unconsciously walked to Xiao Lingzhi's carriage, heard Xiao Jun call "Young Master Han", raised his head, and saw Xiao Jun standing by the carriage, and Qin Shan on the side was saluting respectfully to him.
Han Mo smiled and nodded, he had already seen a riverside not far from the carriage, Xiao Lingzhi's graceful figure was standing on the riverside, looking unusually lonely and lonely, the night breeze was blowing, her show was floating with the wind, black and beautiful, extremely elegant.
