Chapter 103: Nobles Help Each Other
The two of them hurriedly found Taibai Gong, thinking that they would get good news, but the result was not satisfactory.
"Master, why is that?"
"It's... The old man didn't understand, according to the ancient formula, it should be effective, but..."
"Isn't there something else going on here..."
"Report to the prince, the patrolling soldiers have captured a bandit from the East Fence, and he is now pressing outside the tent to wait for his fate."
"Bandits?" The two of them glanced at each other, this special period will not be their tricks.
"Bring people in."
"Yes."
After a while, two soldiers dragged in a gray-haired old man, and saw him covered in scars, angry and lying weakly on the ground.
"Looking at him like this, it doesn't look like he's here to spy on the military."
Cui Zirui glanced at Bai Jian, "Brother Bai, have you seen this person in Dongli?" ”
"This..."Bai Jian circled around him several times, "It looks a little familiar, seeing that he is weak like this, he will not pose a threat to us for the time being, I think it is better to put him in prison first, and it is not too late to interrogate him when he recovers." ”
"Do as you say."
After this incident, the Eastern Fence Kingdom became more and more unscrupulous, repeatedly harassing their borders, and even taking the initiative to provoke incidents, with the intention of arousing their anger and starting a war with them. But if they can't find a way to defeat the enemy, they can't launch a counterattack, and this situation makes them even more passive.
Cui Zirui decided to start with the captive to see if he could get some information.
Qin Si, who was strolling around the barracks, heard the news by chance, and quietly approached Cui Zirui's camp to eavesdrop.
In the military tent, Cui Zirui was sitting precariously looking at the old prisoner, Taibai Gong and Cui Zi were sitting on the side silently, only Bai Jian was now beside Taibai Gong like an angry bag, pouting sullenly with a look of reluctance.
"Who are you, report your name, why did you invade our territory for no reason, is there some intention!"
"The prince is too worried," the old man said slowly, "I am already a dying man, and I have long been no threat to you, why is the general so nervous." ”
"Presumptuous, do you know what kind of place this is, honestly explain the problem, maybe I can give you a way to live."
"Alive," the old man sneered, his eyes slowly scanning everyone present, and finally. His eyes stayed on Bai Jian's body, "As long as there are those living dead, there will be no way to live in the world." ”
The old man's tone was full of helplessness and despair for reality, his low tone made everyone present feel uncomfortable, Bai Jian touched his nose, this person, how does it feel a little familiar?
He unconsciously stepped forward and squatted directly in front of the old man, "Have I seen you... I always feel..."This kind of words are just unspeakable, it's really uncomfortable.
"Probably, little brother." Looking at Bai Jian, he actually showed a hint of a smile.
"Huh?" Brother?
It's a familiar name, what the hell is it... Jane Bai's brain is retrieving at a rapid pace...
Yes! Could it be!
Bai Jian patted his head, and he remembered, "Isn't it... You are... The old king? ”
What the?
This time it was the turn of everyone present to be surprised, "Brother Bai, are you sure?" ”
Cui Zirui was a little confused, the unkempt man in front of him who looked like a beggar turned out to be the old king of Dongli?
"That's right, that's right, there's only one person in the East Fence who calls me my little brother, and that's the old king, though... I've only seen it once..."
"Hahaha... I can't believe you remember, little brother. ”
How could it be......
The whole audience was in a state of bewilderment, but Taibai Gong was the first to react and helped him to the stool.
"In Xia Taibai Gong, His Royal Highness the King has been wronged in the past few days, and I ask His Highness to forgive me."
"It's too white to say it, I'm no longer a king at this moment, and it's already very merciful for you to treat me like this, so how can I forgive me."
"You really are..."
Cui Zirui still didn't believe it, was it a little too easy to capture the enemy king so easily.
"Big brother." Cui Zidu gave him a look, then stepped forward with a cup of hot tea and handed it to him respectfully.
"Your Highness, although my men have reported that you have been captured by the search soldiers, it seems to me that you should have come to us on your own initiative. There must be some unavoidable reasons for this, so can you tell us why you are here? ”
"By the way, Your Highness, aren't you imprisoned, could it be that you escaped? The princess is worried about you and has been inquiring about your whereabouts. ”
"Doer? Where is he and how is he now? ”
"She's in Kyoto now, it's safe to stay at my friend's house, you don't have to worry."
Bai Jian didn't say anything more, if he knew everything the princess had gone through, he would definitely collapse, of course, if the princess saw her father now, it was estimated that she would be even more devastated.
"Little brother, thanks to you." The old king held Bai Jian's hands tightly, "Please take good care of her, please." ”
"Don't worry, I will." Bai Jian patted his trembling hand, "However, can you tell us why... Why is Sanar in power now? ”
"It's a long story." The old king sighed heavily, "Today's East Fence is not what it used to be. Since I was placed under house arrest, my rights have been weakened a little bit, and I escaped this time while they were slackening. Rather than hiding everywhere and getting caught by them, it's better to come and fall into your own trap. It's all a death horizontally and vertically, and it doesn't make a difference to me. ”
"How is that possible!" Cui Zirui was a little skeptical, "Second brother, what do you think." ”
"Your Highness, since you are under house arrest in the palace, it means that you are still useful to the prince's faction, otherwise you will definitely be attacked." Cui Zidu stood quietly to the side and said these words calmly.
"That's right, they have been imprisoning me just to get the talisman, without my talisman, they can't mobilize only the Flying Tiger Army to which I belong, this is the most elite army in our country, and they only obey the dispatch of the talisman, which is also the power that Sannar has always dreamed of."
"In this way, the Flying Tiger Army will only be loyal to all the soldiers, and if we find the soldiers, then they will also follow the instructions of our army." Cui Zidu's eyes lit up, maybe this is the key to breaking the deadlock.
"That's the truth, but my talisman has been lost for a long time, how can I find it so easily?"
The glimmer of light that had just appeared was shattered in an instant. The audience fell silent, and at this moment, Qin Si walked in a little embarrassed.
"Sisi?" Cui Zidu walked over, "Why are you here?" But what's wrong with it? ”
"Oh no," Qin Si waved his hand, "That, I want to say something..."
She quickly took off her coat, and in the middle of the clothes, she took out a small cloth bag,
"Soldier Talisman... Here I am..."
