alien war

Zhan Zhao was stripped of his armor, tied his wrists, and hung high on a thick tree. Although the severed muscles in his left arm were bonded by black feathers, it would not be torn apart again, but they were still intact. It was difficult to bear the weight of the body like the right arm, and the arrow was still ordered to stay on his back. The blood seeped through the coat, dripping down the corner of the trousers and soaking the ground under him.

Looking at Zhan Zhao's unyielding expression, he couldn't hide his understanding that it would be impossible to get Pang Ji's whereabouts without using some means carefully. He dispatched patrolling cavalry to investigate the surrounding situation, and sent an order to search the whole city. He also sent a message to Song Jun hiding in the city that he would torture Zhan Zhao until Pang Ji appeared.

The whistling whip struck Zhan Zhao's already broken body, and the rope hanging his body creaked and swayed side to side with the rise and fall of the whip, and he never let out more than half of it from beginning to end Noisy, still frowning and maintaining a calm and prestige expression.The crisp sound of the whip lasted intermittently for more than an hour. The two strong sergeants in charge of the execution finally couldn't bear him. They took off their clothes and leaned against the tree to rest. Although they took turns to fight, they were still defeated.While wiping his sweat, a sergeant looked up at Zhan Zhao who was hanging from the tree. Through the hair hanging down his forehead, he could clearly see the sweat all over his face, and the bloodless face was lined with tightly twisted eyes. Thick eyebrows, and the two menacing gazes under the eyebrows made him quickly look away.

In a slightly better mood, Wu Zang came to inspect the situation. He squinted his chin and stared at the back hanging under the tree. When he learned that the other party was silent and he got nothing, this not-so-good-tempered general couldn't help being annoyed again.

The rope was loosened, and Zhan Zhao fell to the ground. The moment the wound in front of him touched the ground, he woke up immediately. He gasped for breath, raised his head and glared upwards, and regained his arrogance.

"Hehe, it's still quite hard." Meizang raised his toes to support Zhan Zhao's left cheek, so that he could look at those eyes more clearly.

"..." Zhan Zhao turned his head and slammed his right foot away.

"Dissatisfied?" Meizang squatted down, but his eyes moved to the arrow behind Zhan Zhao.

Mu Zang stretched out his finger, and plucked the half of the arrow shaft exposed outside.Since it was shot through the armor and injected into the body, the wound was relatively shallow, and the arrowhead should have just inserted between the bone seams of the back so as not to injure the internal organs.

With the rotation and shaking of the arrow shaft, more blood stained the already mottled clothes red, and the action of not hiding made the body lying on the ground tremble slightly.

Zhan Zhao's complexion became more and more ugly, and cold sweat continued to flow down his cheeks through his frowning eyebrows.

"It's hard. It seems that Pang Ji is not a competent coach. His subordinates suffer for him, but he can only be a coward. Such a softie can lead an army. It seems that there is really no one in Song Dynasty. "

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao's always tense face showed a smirk: "It's useless... strength... stupid... bastard..." The unbearable heat all over his body made him breathless. Keep your eyes open and stay awake. As long as he is alive, he can restrain Wu Zang's actions, and the grand master and his party will be much safer...

In front of his subordinates, he was ridiculed as an idiot by a half-dead guy. He couldn't bear his inherent violent temper. He loosened the armor button, grabbed the whip from the sergeant's hand, and personally taught this repeated humiliation his people.

"General, you are awake." Han Qi greeted softly.

"Hmm!" The grand master opened his eyes slightly, suffering from a severe headache, seeing that he was still tied up, he couldn't help being furious.

Kneeling in front of the Grand Master, Han Qi hurriedly whispered: "General calm down, the last generals have just come back, in case you leave this place and be caught by the Xixia people, so they can only tie you up forever." head, signaling the Grand Master to keep quiet.

"Yeah." The grand master nodded in agreement.

Han Qi untied the rope, and gently took out the cloth ball stuffed in the Grand Master's mouth.

"Where is this?" The grand master spat and asked in a low voice.

"Back to the general, this is the cellar of a large family in the east of the city. It is very well dug. Even if there is a fire outside, it may not be able to threaten this place. If my soldiers hadn't helped them move earlier, I don't know there is such a place." Han Qi I am secretly glad that this time I escaped entirely with the support of my subordinates, and used scattered escapes to distract the pursuers. Although many soldiers were lost, the general was finally saved.

"What's the situation outside? How many people do we have left?" Since the cellar was only lit by a dim oil lamp, he couldn't see the surrounding situation clearly.

"Counting you, we have a total of ten people. Since the Xixia people are hunting us around at critical intersections, the general sent two people to guard at the entrance of the cellar. If there is a situation, they will first lead the enemy away."

"Why are there only nine?" After adapting to the darkness, the Grand Master's vision gradually became clearer. Apart from him and Han Qi in the cellar, there were only five soldiers guarding behind.

Han Qi sighed: "This is exactly what the general will report to the general. The remaining one is Zhan Zhao. He covered us and escaped. I'm afraid... he was caught by the Xixia people. I just heard the shouting outside. If you don't show up, they will I will keep torturing him... We can never hand you over, so we are discussing how to save him..." After that, he lowered his head, bit his lower lip and stopped talking...

"The more they live, the more idiots they are..." The grand master rubbed the sore spot on his head, not knowing whether it was annoyed or helpless, and he didn't know whether it was Han Qi or Zhan Zhao who was scolding. "If Zhan Zhao dies because of this old man, then even if this old man goes back alive, he will never be able to lift his head up in Bianjing, in front of the emperor, or in front of Bao Zheng in Kaifeng Mansion. It would be better to die here, do you understand?" He said fiercely. He glared at the confused Han Qi.

"The last general really doesn't understand...but..."

"Stop talking nonsense, where is Zhan Zhao now?" The grand master quickly recalled the terrain in the east of the city in his mind.

"It should still be at the east gate of the city. Our place is four alleys away from Dongmen Avenue, so it's not too far away."

The grand master was dizzy for a long time due to the headache, and he lost the sense of time: "Well, what time is it?"

Han Qi counted the time outside, and replied: "Shen time has passed. Mr. Zhan has been outside for almost two hours, and I will worry about him at the end..." He didn't say "I can't hold on" at the end.
