Chapter 877: Tongue Lotus
Because of the absolute advantage in numbers, coupled with the siege, the casualties were not heavy, including the people of the Hundred Flowers Palace. Although they tried their best to resist, they were finally subdued without any suspense. Of course, during the whole process, they were veiled, but they were in good shape, and they were rubbed with oil by decent people, intentionally or unintentionally, which was inevitable.
By the time the leaders returned to the barracks, the battle was over. After investigation, those who believed in Jin's humble words of "bravely chasing the poor" suffered hundreds of casualties, and thirty percent of them were free-spirited. These results can't help but make Jin Xuwei's complexion more and more difficult to look at.
But there are also leaders of small and medium-sized sects who tried to befriend the Xiaoyao faction and secretly persuaded: "Jin Daxia, don't worry, this time, we have arrested nearly two hundred people in the Hundred Flowers Palace." Compared with the loss, this is also a rare victory. ”
Hearing this, Jin Xuwei's face looked a little better. It's just that this person doesn't want to think that the credit for such a great victory is not his, and if it weren't for him, the results would have been even more brilliant.
Next, there was a great debate among the leaders of the various factions about how to treat the prisoners of the Hundred Flowers Palace. The vast majority of people advocated that these people should be tortured first, in order to force out the battle plan of the Hundred Flowers Palace.
Of course, after hearing about it without a trace, objections were immediately raised. Because, these many people are Ni Ping'er's fellow sisters, and of course they can't watch them suffer all kinds of things without a trace.
"Why?" asked many people in bewilderment. If it weren't for the wit shown by this Piao commander before, then maybe at this moment, they would have been severely questioned.
"What do you think of the status of these many captives in the Hundred Flowers Palace?" asked Piao Wuxian calmly.
"Although there are many elites among them, I am afraid that none of them are core disciples. Someone replied truthfully.
"Hehe, I'm afraid that even a core disciple may not be able to access the high-end secrets of such a sect as the battle plan. Drifting Absence said in a flat tone.
"Commander Piao means ......," someone agreed.
"Since it is impossible for these people to know the battle plan, what is the use of extorting confessions by torture?" asked Piao Wuxian in a cold tone.
"Haha, what Commander Piao said is very true!" someone snorted.
"In that case, then we might as well ...... all these people," someone said with a cold look on his face, and made a gesture of "cutting off his head".
"Well, that's a good idea! As soon as the war starts, many people are also a burden!" Many people agreed.
After hearing it without a trace, I couldn't help but feel anxious. Originally, he just wanted Ni Ping'er's fellow disciples to be tortured, but he never thought that he would harm their lives again. This is something that we Piao Daxia did not expect. But on the surface, there is no trace but it still maintains its usual calm. Because, without a trace, I understand that the more dangerous the situation, the more we can't mess up.
"What should I do to convince them of a valid reason that doesn't sound suspicious?"
Just when Piao Wuxian was extremely anxious in his heart, the leaders of the various factions saw that he was stunned on the spot and did not say a word, so he opened his mouth and urged: "Commander Piao, no matter what you mean, you have to make a statement, right?"
"I'm afraid that's not right. It was at this time that he came up with a wonderful reason for persuasion.
Seeing that the commander was speaking eloquently, the leaders couldn't help but be puzzled, and some people immediately asked, "Why is this?"
"Hmph, what's wrong with this?" Jin Xuwei finally seized the opportunity again, and lost no time in speaking, "If you leave them behind, these many people will not only consume food and grass, but also have to disperse their forces to take care of them, and the most troublesome thing is that once they have the opportunity, these people are likely to fight back desperately, which will inevitably cause riots in the rear of the army." When the war is going on at a critical moment, such a riot is likely to cause instability in the morale of the army, and if this affects the overall situation, who can afford such a responsibility?"
"That's right! It's better to kill a hundred! Many people agreed.
"What you say is not impossible. But you are all martial arts masters, not ordinary people, don't you have confidence in your own acupoint techniques?" Piao Wuxian asked disappetically.
"Hmph, you don't want Wang Gu to talk about him left and right. What does this have to do with whether the acupoint technique is high-level or not?" Jin retorted with slight dissatisfaction.
"Haha, although we have also captured nearly three hundred people, as long as we point to the acupoints of their bodies, then they are not much different from ordinary people. Could it be that there would be any accidents with dozens of masters of various factions and two or three hundred ordinary people who were powerless to guard mere two or three hundred ordinary people?......
"Hehe, I don't know what Commander Piao's intention is to save the life of the demon of the Hundred Flowers Palace?" His trick is really vicious enough, if he doesn't answer well without a trace, he is very likely to become an evil infiltrator, and when the time comes, I am afraid that he will not be able to save people, and even he will be in great trouble.
"Intentions, you are targeting my senior uncle everywhere, is that ill-intentioned?" Piao Wuxian retorted mercilessly, "On the top of the mountain, if you hadn't made trouble, then we would only have seized the vanguard of the Hundred Flowers Palace of just two hundred people? If it weren't for your assertions, then we would have lost hundreds of good brothers in vain? Among them, there are many elite disciples of this sect, hum, I want to see, after you go back, how to explain to the senior brother in charge?"
"You ......" Jin Xuwei was so angry that his face turned red, but he didn't know how to argue for a while.
"Okay, okay! The two of you are from the same family, why are you so-for-tat?" said the leader of the Cuiyan Pavilion.
"Why do you two need to quarrel? We all firmly believe that you are definitely not evil spies!" The leader of the Flowing Water Gate was also kind enough to mediate.
"Come to think of it, what Commander Piao said must have a deep meaning, and I would like to hear it in detail. "It's still the leader of Baochan Temple who is smart, and he hurriedly came to a "divert attention" Dafa.
"Yes, yes, yes, please also ask Commander Piao to explain one or two in detail, and I will listen to you!" Seeing the opportunity quickly, he immediately opened his mouth to echo.
"This time, why am I waiting for the army to come?" asked Piao Wu, looking a little out of tune.
"This still needs to be asked, of course I came to destroy the Hundred Flowers Palace. ”
"That's right!" said without a trace, "People are already facing a catastrophe, and now we have wiped out all the captives, so isn't this clearly forcing people to resist desperately......? In this way, I am afraid that our army will suffer heavy losses. ”
