Qi He was hung up by his hands, and his body was tied to a wooden frame. His armor had been removed, his outer robe had also been taken off, and he was only wearing a single piece of clothing.
Orihemu's men beat him until late at night, and the single piece of clothing was covered in blood oozing from scattered wounds, which looked shocking.
The high-spirited young general in the past was now hanging there as if his bones and marrow had been sucked out, his dignity completely lost.
But he didn't care about that.
Even so, his heart was still full of guilt for Jinghua Hairpin.
He hated himself for not being able to save her, but causing her to suffer again.
He spit out a mouthful of blood, raised his head slightly, and stared coldly at the person in front of him, his eyes terrifying.
"Are you—Yelu Daiqin?"
Yelu Daiqin sneered, "As expected of a young general, he is in good physical condition! He was tortured for most of the night, and he is still alive."
"Tell me." Qi He also sneered and raised his voice, "You came to me because you want to know something!"
But even though he tried his best to mobilize all the strength in his body, the words he said were all gone. "I can tell you whatever you want to know, but I have one condition. Let us, the princess, go free!"
"Are you negotiating terms with me?" Yelu Daiqin narrowed his narrow phoenix eyes, his eyes dark.
"I know -" Qi He coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, "The token has been destroyed, you - you don't have enough manpower and have been borrowing troops. Your emperor has no sense of security, so he has been looking for someone who can control the Jing Dynasty army. Another way, I-ahem-I can help you-"
Yelu Daiqin came to see Qi He for another matter and wanted to leave after finishing it, but he did not expect that Qi He would negotiate terms with him.
I didn't expect that this condition would be so attractive.
He had always thought that there was nothing he could do about the matter of millions of soldiers and horses. He had already prepared to go back to the city to meet the generals from the previous dynasty privately to see if he could win them over to his side.
But on the one hand, after all, these people are their prisoners in Beidi. They can't keep their surrender in words, but they have dissatisfaction in their stomachs.
Secondly, he felt that it was quite inappropriate to go there without knowing the temperament of those people.
It would be much easier if there was someone who could introduce these people to him.
At this time, Qi He's words gave him many thoughts.
This is not something to talk about casually. If you can get those millions of troops before others, then you will be one step closer to the throne.
After thinking for a moment, Yelu Daiqin shouted outside.
"Bring me a chair!"
After receiving the order, the guards outside quickly found a chair and brought it to the tent.
Yelu Daiqin lifted his robe and sat down, turned his head and said sternly to the guards: "Watch it, don't let anyone in."
The guards retreated.
He turned back, dusted off his robe, raised his eyes and looked at Qi He, "Tell me, what can you do?"
"You release our princess first." Qi He spoke calmly.
Seeing Yelu Daiqin sit down, as if he wanted to talk, he was even more convinced that Yelu Daiqin wanted this military power.
Yelu Daiqin raised his lips and smiled mockingly, his eyes were sinister, and he looked at Qi He with quite disdain.
"Your country has been destroyed! Where is the princess?"
These words made Qi He instantly stunned. He did not expect that the exchange of conditions in his eyes would be so ridiculous in the eyes of the other party. "Okay, in that case, there is no need for me to say anything."
"Huh -" Yelu Daiqin raised his hand and smiled again, "Why do you have to say it so harshly? I said she is no longer a princess, but I didn't say I couldn't let her go!"
It is impossible to release the Jinghua hairpin. How can the remnants of the previous dynasty escape from the grasp of Beidi!
But at this moment, Yelu Daiqin was very willing to create an illusion for Qi He that he was willing to exchange with him.
"As long as you tell her the trick, I will definitely let her go!" Yelu Daiqin put his hands on his knees and leaned forward, "A gentleman's words - a horse cannot be chased -"
Qi He is such a smart man. As soon as he said these words, he knew that Yelu Daiqin could not keep his promise.
The fire of hope that had just been ignited in my heart was suddenly extinguished again.
His eyes gradually darkened, and his head suddenly lost its support and drooped downwards. He stopped looking at the person in front of him and snorted coldly in his nose.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Suddenly, he suddenly remembered the words that Jinghua Hairpin said righteously in front of the bonfire in the ruined temple that night when he escaped from the city.
At that time, he was arrogant and thought that Da Jing would still be undefeated this time.
But just over half a month later, everything collapsed.
The once great scene was destroyed by the invasion of Beidi, a small border country that used to be attached to him, and became a country that no longer existed.
"They are all smart people, why bother beating around the bush! Just kill me for your pleasure, I won't say anything."
The tone was calm and cold, without any hesitation.
Yelu Daiqin also expected Qi He's reaction.
Even if the young general in front of him has fallen to this level, his magnanimity has not diminished at all.
He had known for a long time that Qi He would not say it easily, so in just a short while, he had already quickly thought of a response strategy in his mind.
