Chapter 366: Stand-in
Su Yong's dagger was pressed against the throat of the two elders, and as long as he used a little force, the two elders would definitely die.
This time, the task is to capture the two elders alive, and it is not cost-effective to let him die like this.
Under Su Yong's hostage, the two elders slowly got up and walked out of the sedan bed.
Several of the guards around him, their faces were tense, looking at the two elders who were being held hostage, they didn't dare to step forward, but just surrounded Su Yong.
"Second elder, I'll have to trouble you next, I'm a person, if I'm forced to be ruthless, I don't know what I'll do."
"I understand, I understand." The two elders nodded repeatedly.
Then he shouted to the surrounding guards and natives, "Retreat to this elder, pass on the order of this elder, stop the attack immediately, all retreat, no action is prohibited without my order, and those who violate the order will be beheaded."
Several of the guards changed their faces and finally turned away.
The two elders retracted their eyes and said, "This elder has also done according to your words, this strong man, look at your sword, can you do it a little..."
"Second elder, this is where to go, you have to do things from the beginning to the end, don't worry, as long as you cooperate obediently, your life will be fine."
Su Yong carried the two elders and walked towards the middle of the battlefield.
Because the order to protect the natives was conveyed in advance, the fierce fighting between the two sides quickly stopped.
Although many of them don't believe it, the guardian natives are the henchmen of the two elders, and they will never dare to spread the word.
Soon after they stopped fighting and began to retreat, they saw the two elders who had been held hostage.
The faces of the crowd changed drastically, especially the four priests, although they were injured, but the two elders were held hostage, which still made them look nervous.
If gaze can kill, Su Yong doesn't know how many times he has been killed by these devouring gazes.
He didn't care about Su Yong at all, as long as the two elders were in his hands, these natives would not dare to make a mistake.
Su Yong held the two elders hostage, walked through the indigenous army, and the distance in front was less than thirty zhang, and Su Qi'an and Er Meng led people to respond.
Originally, the battle between the two sides was fierce, but with the capture of the two elders, the indigenous army had to stop the attack and choose to retreat.
The retreat of the indigenous army was what Su Qi'an wanted to see, and he did not take the opportunity to continue to counterattack.
Although the regiment and cavalry regiment under his command have been replaced with the latest weapons and equipment, this battle is at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
Actual combat training, fighting tough battles, and vicious battles, the fierce battle just now has proved their strength, the battle loss ratio is one to five, Su Qi'an's side suffered 1,000 casualties, and the indigenous army suffered 5,000 casualties.
This is enough, it is not worth it to continue fighting, it will become a war of attrition, which goes against Su Qi'an's original intention of training.
Moreover, the purpose of this battle is to capture the two elders alive, and the goal is achieved, and it is not necessary to continue fighting.
Looking at the two elders who were taken down, Su Qi'an stepped forward quickly, patted Su Yong's shoulder, and signaled that he had worked hard.
Then the two elders were handed over to the custody of several soldiers, and Su Qi'an did not tie up the two elders.
Led him to a table and motioned to sit down, behind him there were only a few soldiers.
Su Qi'an sat opposite the two elders, not at all worried about the escape of the two elders and the attack of the indigenous army gathered not far behind him.
No matter who it is, once there is any action, Su Qi'an has absolute confidence and will control the two elders as soon as possible.
There is only a distance of two feet between him and the two elders, and this kind of range, if the two elders are allowed to escape, then he, the marquis of Dongshan, will not have to do it.
The two elders sitting opposite Su Qi'an, compared to the panic just now, are obviously much calmer now, he looked at Su Qi'an, and then said.
"Hou Ye Su is really capable, these more than 4,000 people can defeat the 20,000 troops of the patriarch and capture me alive, this matter spreads, and the prestige of Hou Ye Su is afraid that it will be on the next level in Jiaozhou."
The praise of the two elders, Su Qi'an was noncommittal, he didn't dare to be interested in him, and said directly.
"Do you remember what Ben Hou said before, I think Ben Hou should have asked the two elders to sign a deed now
The book of the covenant."
"Of course, Su Hou's strength today has opened the eyes of this patriarch, and it is qualified for this patriarch to sign the contract."
"Please, then."
Not long after Su Qi'an's voice fell, behind him, a soldier stepped forward, and a scroll was spread out, with dense words written on it.
The approximate meaning is similar to what Su Qi'an said, in the lower right corner, as long as the two elders sign and press the handprint, the contract will take effect.
This pact of peaceful coexistence and non-aggression is very influential.
In particular, the higher the status of the signatory, the higher the status, and once signed, there is no room for remorse.
If you repent, or even tear up the contract, it will give the other party a chance to attack openly.
Therefore, when signing, the signatories often think about it for a long time, and will never sign it unless it is absolutely necessary.
In the history of the Priests' Alliance, it has also signed this thing with Li Kang, but it was signed with Li Kang, with some inequality.
In some things, you have to obey Li Kang's orders, although it is very unhappy, but the strength is not good, and it is indeed not Li Kang's opponent.
So, in a way, this contract is a shame for them.
The contract with Li Kang has not yet ended, and there is another Su Qi'an here, even if the contract with Su Qi'an is relatively equal, but in the eyes of the two elders, it is still an uncomfortable thorn.
His gaze withdrew from the contract, looked at Su Qi'an opposite, and suddenly said.
"Su Hou is qualified and capable, but I'm sorry, this patriarch is not interested in signing the contract."
"Second Elder, are you playing tricks on people to find death?"
As soon as these words came out, Su Yong's face behind him was cold, and he shouted angrily.
"Don't think that because you have a high status, you can be unscrupulous, okay, you don't have a hard mouth, then let me see how hard your mouth is."
Several soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward, took control of the two elders, and then placed his palms on the table.
Su Yong's dagger was stuck on the table, no more than an inch away from the two elders' palms.
But even at this time, the two elders did not have the slightest fear at all, and their faces were indifferent, as if they put life and death aside.
The changes in the two elders, not to mention Su Qi'an, even Su Yong felt a little inexplicable.
Is this still a person? They don't know what the personality of the two elders is, but some of his subordinates still understand.
In his regiment, there were local indigenous soldiers, who had the privilege of meeting the two elders before joining the Dongshan Army.
Before meeting the two elders, they had been warned of some taboos and taboos of the two elders,
Through understanding, they can guess that the two elders have their own emotions like ordinary people, even in front of outsiders, they behave lightly and lightly, and they look like a superior person.
But he is definitely not able to put life and death out of the way, if he is, when he is taken by Su Yong, he will not be frightened and pale, with a look of fear.
At this time, the two elders looked at the dagger that was close at hand, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on their faces.
Su Qi'an, who watched this scene, jumped in his heart, and a bad premonition came to his heart.
Su Qi'an seemed to think of something, and hurriedly shouted, "Su Yong, stop him."
"Hey, it's late." The two elders showed a hideous smile, and the next moment, under the shocked gaze of everyone, his head stretched out, and his neck directly touched the dagger on the table.
The dagger slashed, blood splattered, and even if the soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward and blocked the wound on his neck, he still couldn't stop the blood from spurting.
The two elders were pale, their mouths were open, and their low, muffled voices sounded intermittently.
"Biography... Order, all... People, kill them all... They!"
After saying this, the two elders planted their heads and died.
No one expected that this dual elder would be so bloody and commit suicide directly.
This is too incredible, Su Qi'an's eyes flashed, he always felt that this matter was not simple at the moment.
But then there was no time for Su Qi'an to think, with the death of the two elders.
The native army in the rear had seen it with their own eyes, and the next moment, these people immediately erupted into an earth-shattering roar.
The sound was filled with a strong killing intent, and their eyes were red, like mad beasts.
The two elders are in their hearts, that is, spiritual beliefs, and now their spiritual beliefs, dead in front of them, the inner world directly collapses, how not to let them go crazy.
"Kill them and avenge the two elders!"
The overwhelming roar converged, and the next moment, these indigenous troops rushed directly towards Su Qi'an's side.
That movement is completely non-stop.
"A lump, Mr. Protection!"
"The cavalry regiment gathers, even if it is dead, never half a step back!"
Su Yong and Er Meng immediately came back to their senses and issued orders as quickly as possible.
The soldiers behind him immediately took action, and when things got to this point, it was useless to regret it, the other party went crazy, and the next thing was to fight.
Su Qi'an, who was protected in the middle, frowned, this scene was something he definitely didn't want to see.
Even if they annihilate the rushing native army, their casualties are not small, after all, these natives have gone berserk, and there is no point in fighting.
The sudden change in the battlefield not only stunned Su Qi'an, but also Su Fengling, who had been watching the play in the rear, was also taken aback.
The suicide of the two elders was something she didn't expect, but something happened, and the natives had gone berserk.
In this state, it will never be rational to fight hard, she did not hesitate, and immediately took her subordinates Long Wei to quickly reinforce her.
Soon came to Su Qi'an's side and said, "Su Qi'an, why are you stunned, go quickly, everyone, listen to my orders and cover our retreat."
Su Fengling looked at Su Qi'an, who was motionless and deep in thought, shook her head helplessly, immediately gave an order, and then prepared to pull Su Qi'an away.
Just as Su Qi'an walked about twenty or thirty steps, suddenly he directly broke free of Su Fengling and said softly, "I understand, so that's the case."
The next moment, Su Qi'an returned the same way and came to the corpse of the two elders, his eyes were looking, as if he was looking for something, and the next moment, his eyes were fixed.
The palm of his hand stretched out, groping on the face of the two elders, and then as if he touched something, the palm of his hand was forced, and with a sharp pull, a human skin appeared in Su Qi'an's hand.
As for the dead two elders, they have changed their appearance, looking at the human skin in his hand, Su Qi'an said coldly.
"It's worthy of an old fox, hidden so deeply, it turned out to be a fake, and he used a stand-in, and he almost fell for it."
