Chapter XXXIII
"Little Hillman, next time you hold the captives, remember to separate them, you know?" Zhang Xiao said to Little Hillman after ordering the herald to detain the two separately. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
I have to say that little Hillman is still too young, and it is not too appropriate to deal with this kind of thing, and the capture of two captives actually put the two of them together for the convenience of custody, so it is very likely to give the two a chance to collude and plan to make a statement.
Little Hillman seemed to have found his mistake after Zhang Xiao's reminder, and couldn't help lowering his head in shame, seeing Little Hillman like this, Zhang Xiao just smiled with relief, patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's okay, you are also the first time to lead a leader alone outside, and there are many things to learn." ”
"Little Hillman will never dare to live up to the master's cultivation grace!" Hearing that Zhang Xiao was still so kind and relieved after making a mistake, Little Hillman couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and half-knelt on the ground to express his loyalty to Zhang Xiao.
At this moment, a militiaman appeared beside Zhang Xiao with Marcelo: "Captain!
Zhang Xiao squinted at Marcelo, this guy is very smart, he doesn't make noise or try to escape, Zhang Xiao just arranged for him to live in a camp near him, and the task of monitoring him was originally the task of the "semi-motorized donkey cavalry" team, but after the "semi-motorized donkey cavalry" team went out last night, this Marcelo was still honest, and he couldn't see any other thoughts.
"Marcelo, how are you staying in our barracks lately?" Zhang Xiao asked casually.
Marcelo originally thought that Zhang Xiao was just a hillbilly village chief who had never seen the world, but recently he was imprisoned in the barracks but he saw a lot of appalling things, not only Zhang Xiao's training methods, but also the military law established by Zhang Xiao, Marcelo, as a bystander, knew very well what those regulations meant.
Take one of them: "Those who do not obey Old Man Bonaparte, behead!" This is simply a naked attempt to turn this army into Zhang Xiao's independent disarmament team, you must know that Zhang Xiao's current identity is still an imperial official! Marcelo thought that these mercenaries were already bold, but this person's courage can no longer be described by any adjective, this is no longer bold, this is naked ambition!
"Where are you, sir, if you are willing to take Marcelo, that is Marcelo's honor, may the gods bless you forever. Marcelo followed Zhang Xiao with a flattering face, and even made the little Hillman behind Zhang Xiao have a disgusting feeling, although he felt disgusting in his heart, but the little Hillman did not show it, he felt that Zhang Xiao's respect was from the heart, he felt that Zhang Xiao deserved these praises, but he thought that working hard for Zhang Xiao was the right way, and these sycophants were all false tricks.
Hearing Marcelo's sycophancy, Zhang Xiao smiled disapplausively: "Marcelo, you told me last time that you were the mausoleum keeper of Grand Duke Andre. ”
"Master, to be precise, the entire family of our Marcello family is the mausoleum keeper of Grand Duke Andre, and there are many mausoleum guards like me in our Lindu Kingdom. ”
"Your existence is only for the treasure of the ethereal Grand Duke Andrei?" Obviously, Zhang Xiao couldn't understand the meaning of the existence of such a group of people.
"Master, in fact, I think the treasure of Grand Duke Andrei is secondary, I believe I also told you that there is an organization like the Iron Horse Brotherhood in the empire, although the core secret of the treasure is in the hands of the family elder, but I speculate that the meaning of the existence of our Marcelo family is to find a suitable heir for Grand Duke Andrei, after all, the kingdom has been very weak in foreign wars since the fall of the Andrei family, and even now Darius and the Modo Kingdom in the north can frequently invade our borders. ”
Zhang Xiao couldn't help but pouted his lips with disdain, looking for the heir of the Grand Duke Andrei, to put it nicely, how many people with that kind of military talent are willing to die for this kingdom? Besides, is one Grand Duke of Andre enough to save this kingdom that is about to collapse? After Zhang Xiao learned about the Grand Duke of Andre, he went to learn about the life of this legendary duke, simply put, he fought bravely and the stars were shining, that is, the legendary lucky general, hoping that a lucky general could save a kingdom? Too naïve.
"Let's not talk about that Grand Duke Andre, since you are a mausoleum keeper and a noble family, how did you join this mercenary group?"
"Back to the master, the little one met a beast during a trip and was seriously injured, and then met this mercenary group, they felt that the villain looked quite a bit of martial arts, so they threatened the villain to join them, and even let the villain sign a contract with them. ”
"So, according to what you say, are you still enemies with them?" Zhang Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked Marcelo as he walked forward.
Speaking of this, Marcelo suddenly half-knelt on the ground and pleaded with Zhang Xiao: "Master, as long as you can get the contract back for Marcelo, Marcelo is willing to swear allegiance to the master!"
Zhang Xiao saw Marcelo give himself such a hand, and couldn't help but be stunned, he immediately gave little Hillman a look, signaling him to help Marcelo up, I have to say that this Marcelo is very smart, knows how to use Zhang Xiao's identity, Zhang Xiao is not a particularly prestigious leader at this time, the best way for him to attract talents is to buy horse bones, Marcelo's behavior at this time is a bit I am a horse bone, I will give you a chance to buy it now, it doesn't cost much money.
But Zhang Xiao didn't dare to casually believe this kind of stranger who hadn't been in contact for a long time, he was not so naïve that he saw someone kneeling on the ground and immediately accepted him stupidly as a little brother, Zhang Xiao still values loyalty to the choice of his subordinates.
At this time, Zhang Xiao and the others walked to one of the places where the prisoners were held, because everyone was marching at this time, and there was no place to guard these prisoners, Zhang Xiao directly asked the herald to put the two prisoners in a group, and let one group be responsible for guarding one prisoner.
"Captain!" was one of the captives of the morning, who was sitting on the ground with his hands tied and his mouth stuffed with a strip of cloth.
The captive seemed to want to say something when he saw the arrival of Zhang Xiao and the others, but when a young man in a red samurai uniform beside him saw this, he picked up the spear in his hand and gave him a stick, and said fiercely: "The captain is here, you give me honesty!"
"Old Lucas, how is it, is this kid still honest?" Zhang Xiao ignored the prisoner who was curled up on the ground with a painful look, and instead turned to greet the leader of the group.
"Captain, don't worry, Lucas, even if I try my best, I won't let this kid make a mistake!" said old Lucas, patting his chest.
"Haha, I'm sure my brave warriors will never let down. Zhang Xiao smiled and patted old Lucas on the shoulder: "Hard brothers, Lucas, you let the brothers be on guard around me, I don't want others to hear the process of my interrogation of this captive." ”
Old Lucas also knew Zhang Xiao when he heard Zhang Xiao say this, so he arranged for the soldiers below to form a circular warning circle with Zhang Xiao as the center, and this warning circle was also quite large, not only separating Zhang Xiao from the other groups, but also keeping them away from Zhang Xiao, he knew that Zhang Xiao did not want anyone, including them, to hear the interrogation process.
"Little Hillman, Marcelo, you stay. Zhang Xiao then commanded.
"Marcelo, do you know this person?" Zhang Xiao asked Marcelo, pointing to the captive sitting on the ground.
Hearing Zhang Xiao's inquiry, Marcelo also consciously stepped forward from behind Zhang Xiao, and the captive became very angry when he saw Marcelo, and struggled to stand up again, but little Hillman also kicked him to the ground this time.
"Back to the master, this kid is the brother-in-law of the head of the mercenary group, and he is usually very arrogant. Marcelo replied respectfully.
"Little Hillman, take the strip of cloth off his mouth, I'm going to ask him something. ”
Hearing Zhang Xiao's order, little Hillman quickly took off the strip of cloth from the captive's mouth, and after the captive was taken off the strip of cloth, he took a big breath, and then roared at Zhang Xiao very arrogantly and angrily: "You! Do you know who I am, master?! How dare you tease me like this! I want to cramp and peel you!"
Hearing this captive's arrogant appearance, Zhang Xiao turned his head to Marcelo and asked, "What is the reputation of that mercenary group leader among the mercenary group?"
"Back to the master, that guy relies on the support of the noble lord of the Paraven Province, and often withholds and embezzles everyone's remuneration, and everyone dares to be angry but dare not speak. Marcelo replied respectfully.
"Little Hillman, where did you catch him?"
"Sir, when we caught him, he was planning to go out overnight to deliver a letter. ”
"What about faith?"
"Here!" said little Hillman, who took out a brown paper letter from his arms and handed it to Zhang Xiao.
When the captive saw Zhang Xiao taking his letter, he couldn't help but continue to shout and curse arrogantly: "Haha, you pariahs! Do you know who I am, master? I am Baron Delo's procurement! If you dare to touch me, you are challenging the majesty of the nobles of the kingdom!"
But before he could continue his screaming, he felt his body lose its balance, and a sharp pain was coming from his right leg, and slowly the pain widened, and he felt a heart-rending pain the moment he fell to the ground.
After falling to the ground, the captive looked at his right leg in pain, and the scene he saw couldn't help but make him howl in pain, he saw that his right calf and his thigh had been completely separated, and his eyes were full of blood red, he howled in pain, he didn't know whether his howl was because of the severe pain he felt on his body or because of the hesitant pain of losing his right leg, he found that he could not do anything now except howl uncontrollably!
And at this time, Zhang Xiao's body was full of traces of blood splattering, that's right, it was Zhang Xiao who pulled out the big knife at his waist and cut off the calf of this captive without saying a word at that moment, is the baron terrible? When he was studying in the imperial capital, he even had hereditary earl classmates, not to mention the little baron?
Seeing Zhang Xiao so ruthless, Marcelo on the side couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and then felt a chilling palpitation.
"Little Hillman, let him hang him for me, let all the brothers come, and give him a sword for each of them, and someone must sacrifice the flag before the battle. As he spoke, Zhang Xiao tore off a strip of cloth from his body and wiped his hands and big knife, and he also glanced at Marcelo meaningfully.
After feeling Zhang Xiao's gaze, Marcelo couldn't help but be even more afraid, looking for someone to sacrifice the flag, that is to say, if there were no two captives, the person who sacrificed the flag would be him.
"Marcelo, take this little leg and follow me. After speaking, Zhang Xiao walked to another group without looking back.
