Staring at their accomplices' warm blood spreading to their feet, the five prisoners trembled.
The corners of the red nose and mouth were trembling.
He raised his head and glanced at Ren Ning in front of him and then at the others.
None of them had obvious identification marks on their bodies.
Some were scratching their bare foreheads, some were chewing without knowing what they were chewing, and some were even looking at them with interest, as if they were considering the target of their next stab.
Anyway, no one had the slightest objection to the killing just now.
Red Nose's heart suddenly hit rock bottom.
"Are you from Yunchui?" He blurted out in panic, "Why are you here?"
Ren Ning and Lei Er looked at each other and smiled.
As long as the other party opens his mouth, there is no fear of not being able to ask for anything.
But he was the only one in the group who could speak Xiliang dialect twice. Gu Datou, Lu Youtian and other brothers from the Eighth Battalion knew only a few common slang words and could not understand long sentences at all.
"Why are we here?" Ren Ning smiled and said proudly: "The land is vast and rich in resources, and the soldiers are strong and brave. How can Xiliang be easily shaken."
He spoke vaguely, but a sudden realization flashed in his red-nosed eyes.
Could it be that Xiliang's eastward invasion was defeated again, and Yun Chui finally killed him here.
He was a little skeptical.
It is common for Xiliang to fail in attacking Yunchui, not once or twice, so it is not surprising.
But it is a bit unbelievable that the Yunchui people would change their normal behavior and go deep into the grassland.
But no matter what, there is no doubt that Ren Ning and others look like Yun Chui.
"If I tell the truth," Red Nose discussed, "can you let us go?"
Both sides are now on the land of Xiliang, and their targets are Xiliang people.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
As for what happened last night and just now, they are like fish and meat, and the clouds are like swords. Red Nose had to pretend to turn a blind eye.
Ren Ning played with his saber and said noncommittally: "Then let's see what you know?"
Red Nose perked up and quickly turned around to mutter something to the other prisoners.
But the prisoners were all tightly gagged with grass and could only nod or shake their heads.
Ren Ning and others nodded and said nothing.
There was a tough guy who glared at several people angrily and just shook his head.
brush!
Lei Er took a few steps and struck down with his sword without hesitation. Suddenly the world was at peace.
Now everyone nodded wildly.
"We are indeed Beixiong people, from the Principality of Lansdowne."
Now that he had decided to say it, Red Nose did not hold anything back and said it in detail.
Beixiong has a vast territory and a cold climate all year round.
Since Emperor Beixiong decided to attack Yunchui, some of the principalities below were happy, while others were not.
The main reason is that the eastern part is not strong enough. If you want to attack Yunchui and achieve certain results, you must mobilize the principalities of the central and western regions to join the war in the east.
The problem is that the principalities in the central and western regions are too far away from Yunchui, and they have traveled thousands of miles to attack a strange and powerful country. It's simply not worth the gain.
Therefore, all the principalities that were transferred were not very happy, and all of them resisted.
The reason why Emperor Beixiong decided to dispatch troops and generals to the east was firstly because he was jealous of Yunchui's wealth, and secondly, he wanted to screen the loyalty of the various principalities within the territory to the empire.
After all, every family has sutras that are difficult to recite. Whose family doesn’t have a few treacherous sons?
In addition, the princes have also reached their age and have thoughts about each other.
So Beixiong's own territory also became chaotic.
Ren Ning listened expressionlessly, his eyes flashing slightly.
Although the Starfall Legion's intelligence network is extensive, Guangxin County is too far from Northern Xinjiang.
He only knew that Beixiong once sent troops south last year.
Emperor Changxing was so anxious that he quickly transferred all the East China Sea defenders to Beiguan. The man who led the troops was none other than Zhongyong Bo Xiao Zheng.
As a result, after they destroyed Nan Feng, Beixiong stopped, and later showed no intention of moving.
This moment made Wei Junqian feel baffled.
Only now did Ren Ning react after hearing what Red Nose said.
Before attacking the outside, you must first secure the inside.
Red Nose continued to chatter.
"Our Principality of Langston is located to the north of the Desert of No Return. The land is barren and the citizens are few. Its strength is at the end of the Beixiong Principalities. But the bad thing is that it controls several huge camel caravans."
"The neighbors have been eyeing us."
"Years ago, there was a melee among the principalities. We were ultimately defeated, and even the Duke was killed in the battle. Everyone had no choice but to flee into the Desert of No Return."
Finally arrived at Xiliang.
Hum.
Ren Ning sneered, "Yunchui's spies are not vegetarians. We already know this. They can't exchange for your lives."
He waved his hand: "I'm sorry if you keep talking about this and not talking about the real thing."
Lei Er stood up with a smile and moved his hands and feet creakingly.
Red Nose looked at the red blood stains that had not dried on his machete and was sweating profusely.
"Our main force is in the north..."
"That little mountain nest in the north, right?" Ren Ning shook his head, "How dare you call the main force a few hundred people?"
Red Nose panicked and said aggrievedly: "I didn't lie. Beixiong doesn't have as many people as you in Yunchui. We only have that many people."
Ren Ning just sneered and was noncommittal.
In the morning, he could see clearly that there were only more than two hundred camels in that mountain den, which could be said to be inferior to the number of vehicles in the Gu family's caravan now.
Is this also called "several huge camel caravans"?
Lei Er walked over with a knife in his hand.
Several prisoners were trembling all over, and all of them had panic on their faces. One even kicked the red nose hard with his foot.
"I said, I said it's not okay." Seeing that Lei Er had already raised the knife, the panicked Red Nose quickly shouted to stop.
He said quickly: "We are just the vanguard. The Duke is not dead and is right behind. He took all his property out and is now hiding in the Pearl Oasis in the Desert of No Return."
Ren Ning asked Lei Er to step back.
He also asked about the situation in the major principalities in Beixiong, especially in the east.
However, the red nose is just a small thing and does not know much about the situation. The only thing that was clear was that the entire Beixiong was in chaos.
In his other state of panic, he could only talk nonsense.
Ren Ning listened for a few times and concluded that this person really didn't know anything, so he waved his hand.
Lei Er walked up again hehely.
Red Nose was so frightened that he almost peed, rolling on the ground with tears streaming down his face: "Aren't you Yunchui people the most trustworthy? I've told everything I know, why don't you let us go."
"Did I just say let them go?" Ren Ning asked.
Lei Er thought for a moment before shaking his head solemnly, "The general never said such a thing."
"You...you..." Red Nose suddenly collapsed.
Soon they were silent.
Ren Ning ignored the blood on the ground and turned to ask Gu Datou and others: "You have been here for a while, do you know where the Pearl Oasis is?"
"Pearl Oasis?" Several people shook their heads, "I don't know. Why do you ask, Lao Ren?"
Lei Er then explained what Red Nose had just said.
The soldiers looked at each other.
No matter how small the principality of Beixiong is, its wealth is probably not a small amount.
"Old Ren," Lu Youtian said, "Even if we know where the Pearl Oasis is, there are only less than two hundred of us, so we can't eat it."
Ren Ning nodded: "So we have to find help."
I just don’t know where the Kelun people brought out by Tie Le are.
