Chapter 477: Cross-examination
As soon as these words came out, Wei Heng suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Regardless of whether there is a disagreement between Jin and Yan, at least in this case, the prince of Jin will not tie up people in his army for no reason.
After thinking about it, Wei Heng's gaze moved with Shi Xia, and then ...... Watch as the human skin masks on those faces were ripped off.
There are five people in total, which is five fake faces.
Ignoring the painful look on their faces, Shi Xia took the mask in his palm and observed it carefully, and then replied: "Your Highness, this is just made of paste with a texture as thin as a cicada's wings in your eyes, not real human skin. ”
"It's not human skin...... Qi Changrong's elongated tone carried a few traces of regret: "It seems that their courage is nothing more than that." ”
There was a huge difference between a real human skin mask and a fake human skin mask, and it was no wonder that she noticed something was wrong with their faces just by looking at them.
Looking at the five unfamiliar faces in front of him, the surprise and hesitation in Wei Heng's eyes were even more hesitant than before, and he couldn't help but step aside and exclaimed, "Who are they?!" ”
"Shouldn't this be a lonely question to General Wei?"
Supporting his head with one hand and drawing circles on the armrest of the wooden chair with the other, Qi Changrong said lightly: "Just now, General Wei Xiao kept saying that they were soldiers in your army, and now I also ask General Wei Xiao to explain, why did they flee across the city in the middle of the night last night?" ”
In a word, it is very light, as if there is no weight.
But after hearing this, Wei Heng was like being hit hard, and his mind was blank for a moment, and he didn't know how to react for a while.
Obviously, everything before was beyond his expectations.
As Qi Changrong once said, he is still too tender, and in the face of sudden events, not only did he fail to make the most correct response in the fastest time, but he would even mess up because of this.
If the two enemies are facing each other in front of the battle, it is undoubtedly the most fatal mistake.
"This ......"
After a long time, Wei Heng finally digested everything in front of him, his eyes were on the spy whose eyes kept flashing, and he didn't dare to look at him, and opened his mouth and said, "I ......"
"I don't know."
Eventually, he had to admit this fact.
The few faces in front of him were undoubtedly the most alien to him, although he couldn't recognize 20,000 faces with his memory.
But......
If there is no ghost in your heart, why do you wear a human skin mask in the army?
Hearing this, Qi Changrong rarely agreed, and deliberately pretended to be stupid: "Coincidentally, I don't know what they want to do, but for the sake of insurance, what should be tried should be tried." ”
When the words fell, Qi Changrong looked at Shi Xia.
The latter knew this, and glanced at the two generals who were holding their fingers.
Suddenly, a terrible shout rang out from the cellar.
Ten fingers are connected to the heart, and when the knuckles of the ten fingers are squeezed by a hard object, the pain is tantamount to a broken phalange.
Even a seven-foot man can't stand this kind of pain.
Wei Heng's face turned slightly pale.
He has been on the battlefield and has killed the enemy.
He has stained himself with his own blood, and he has stained it with the blood of his enemies.
However, he had never seen the scene of the prisoner's trial with his own eyes.
Although it is not bloody, it is extremely heart-wrenching.
Qi Changrong didn't know how penetrating this scream was, and still said with a normal face: "While you are still talking well under the lonely eye, confess your plans as soon as possible, maybe you can save your life......
“…… No, it should be said that it is a pleasure to die. ”
Seeing that the faces of several of them became more and more panicked, the corners of Qi Changrong's mouth hooked a demonic smile, and his voice became softer: "If you want to die, you can't die, it's the most painful torture." ”
As if to confirm the correctness of this statement, after the execution of the man's hands again, the position shifted to the feet......
Every wound is painful enough, but it makes people die in a short time.
After a tragic example, no one can survive in this situation for long.
After a while, some people rushed to answer Qi Changrong's questions, just for a 'happy death'.
"Who sent you? Is the master a barbarian or a Yan country? ”
"I am from the Jitan tribe, I heard that there is a foreign army on the grassland, and I came to inquire about the situation by the king's order, and recently found that this city is under martial law, and in order to bring the news back, I had to flee from the city last night."
"I'm from the Ligo tribe, and I'm also ordered to come to investigate."
"And my ......"
A few people, you said a word, and quickly spit out their origins.
They grew up on the grassland, whether it was territory or women, they were all taken by force, advocating the respect of the strong, and they didn't know what it meant to 'rather die than give in'.
When they found that the disparity between friend and foe was too great to struggle and escape, their heads lowered quickly.
In the end, when Qi Changrong asked about it, only the person at the beginning was tortured, and the rest of them had expressions of relief on their faces.
Having got the answer they wanted, Qi Changrong fulfilled their wishes and chose the fastest way to let them die.
"Cut off their heads and hang them outside the walls of the city to blow three days."
"As for the corpse, let's burn it."
As soon as these words came out, the fear in his heart instantly surged up, and Wei Heng couldn't help but shudder: "In this way, will it startle the snake?" ”
Most of those grassland barbarians don't understand literature and science, and they only know who has the biggest fist and who is the big brother, if they suddenly hit the door, wouldn't this city be exposed under the noses of every barbarian tribe?
Qi Changrong looked at him with a smile: "How long does General Wei think this city can be hidden?" ”
Suddenly, Wei Heng couldn't answer.
He didn't pass by the roundworm in the prince's belly, so naturally he couldn't guess this person's plan.
Qi Changrong continued: "Although most of the people of the Barbarian Clan are arrogant, it doesn't mean that they are all stupid, maybe they have discovered the existence of this city since we appeared on this grassland. ”
It's just that under the condition that the enemy army is unknown, no action was made for a while.
And these people who infiltrated the army were the pioneers who came to find out the situation.
Once they had figured out the strength of the army, they would bring back the news, and if it was within enemy range, how could the warlike people tolerate the existence of this city?
Wei Heng was slightly stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Since it has been exposed, what should I do now?" ”
"Simple."
Qi Changrong squinted his eyes and did not hesitate to give advice: "Tell them openly - this city is not easy to mess with, so as to attract their attention and let the hundreds of people sent out play the greatest effect." ”
Half a month is enough time to bury countless dark chess.
Hearing this, Wei Heng was quite entangled: "But if there is a real fight, what should I do?" ”
"Then fight."
Qi Changrong smiled indifferently: "If you don't fight, you will die, is there any other choice?" ”
After that, seeing that Wei Heng was still frowning tightly, Qi Changrong said again: "The grain stored in the city can be eaten by the army for two months, and two months is enough to make things come to an end." ”
Wei Heng was speechless.
He suddenly deeply realized the deep meaning of Qi Changrong's sentence 'This city is not easy to mess with'.
It's not that this city is hard to mess with.
It's that the owner of the city is not to be messed with.
Wei Heng believed that even if he took 10,000 steps back, one day the city was broken and the plan failed, and the prince of the Jin Kingdom would be able to leave intact.
As the two spoke, the killing in the cellar had already begun.
Qi Changrong in the previous life was a benevolent prince of the Jin Kingdom, but since she opened her eyes in this life, she has never wanted to be a benevolent emperor.
In this world, if you are not ruthless, how can you stand firm?
In the cellar screaming and begging for mercy, Wei Heng walked out stiffly.
When his body touched the blazing sunlight outside, he felt that his cold body seemed to regain a little temperature.
And just a moment after they came out, the five human heads had been carried out by the guards and were being sent to the foot of the high city.
In this regard, Qi Changrong turned a blind eye, and said to Wei Heng with a smile: "General Wei Xiao, let's continue to train your soldiers, maybe it won't be long before the first war will come. ”
“……”
Wei Heng couldn't fight her.
Not to mention fighting, deep in his heart, when facing this person, Wei Heng really felt what fear was.
Taking people's lives between talking and laughing is as simple as eating and drinking.
In the situation of involuntary people, Wei Heng can only do what Qi Changrong said.
Train soldiers.
Train to the death.
Only in this way can more people survive than die.
……
Back in the study, Qi Changrong took out a book made of cowhide from the camera obscura, and gently rubbed it in his palm.
For a long time, she lowered her eyes and was silent.
Seeing this, Shi Xia stood beside him, and asked curiously while pouring tea: "Your Highness is not afraid of pushing General Wei Xiao too much, but it has a bad effect?" ”
"His goal is Junmen."
Qi Changrong stopped and said, "Don't worry, the people who target the Junmen will not be so fragile." ”
"His Highness has faith in him."
"In this world, except for Lone himself, only General Jun can make Lone believe completely."
The words have been made clear.
Qi Changrong didn't believe in Wei Heng, but in Junchen.
Hearing this, the muscles at the corners of Shi Xia's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he reluctantly agreed: "Yes, yes, if it weren't for General Jun to worry about the future, His Highness wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to fight here." ”
"It's the barbarians who are restless."
There was a mixture of disgust in his tone.
In the blink of an eye, Qi Changrong put away the book and placed it neatly at the bottom of the dark box, without any emotion on his face.
"Since they don't understand the rules, then Lone will teach them what the rules are."
"The barbarians are different from the other three big countries, they wander all over the grassland, they are self-contained, and they are unreasonable, they only want to make a profit, no matter which country fights with which country, they want to take advantage of it, and it is the most difficult trouble to deal with."
"Imagine, the battle between the two armies is coming to an end, and suddenly a group of barbarians appear to blend in, and the scene is ...... What a mess. ”
