Chapter 1430: Inducing Confessions
Qin Xiao originally thought that the two Taoist nuns Luo Yue would follow them out of the bamboo forest, but no one came out. It was a bit strange. When he returned to the forest again, he found that the two Taoist nuns had disappeared.
He was a little surprised, but then he thought that since the situation was unclear, it was not strange for Taoist Aunt Luo Yue and the two to hide immediately after being released for their own safety.
"Master Captain, how about we go into the room and talk?" After leaving the forest, seeing that Captain Longlin was still under Suzaku's control, Qin Xiao said directly to the Captain.
It would be easy for him to take the captain's life, but he knew in his heart that he really couldn't kill him easily at this time.
As long as he takes action to kill this captain, the dozens of dragon scale guards will definitely resist, and then they will all be killed.
But Qin Xiao has no plans to kill these dragon scale guards for the time being.
These people are all warriors of the Tang Dynasty. Although they are under the command of Tantai Xuanye, it does not mean that they rebel against the Tang Dynasty. There must be many people here who do not know the truth of what happened in the palace and are just following orders. If
Killing them like this could be done easily with the strength of the two masters Qin Xiao and Zhuque, but it would still make these warriors die in confusion.
And once a fight breaks out, no one can guarantee whether someone will send out a signal to expose the situation here.
Penglai Island is composed of more than a dozen islands, large and small. The main island is naturally where the main hall of Dongji Tianzhai is located, and Wuliang and other islands are scattered around the main island.
There are dozens of Imperial Guards ambushing Wuliang Island. No matter how stupid Qin Xiao is, he can still understand something fishy at this time.
These guards of Wuliang Island must be secretly ambushing here. The original goal is of course not to attack themselves and Suzaku. If nothing unexpected happens, their real goal must be the main island not far away.
The major sects came to Penglai Island, of course, not to enjoy the scenery, but to snatch the martial arts treasures on the main island. In this case, they naturally gathered on the main island and had no interest in the surrounding islands.
Since the Dragon Scale Forbidden Army can ambush on Wuliang Island, it is possible that they can also ambush men on other scattered islands.
Qin Xiao is now unable to determine how many troops Tantai Xuanye has sent over, or even whether there are any fish that have slipped through the net on this Wuliang Island, but he is certain that if there are ambushes of the Forbidden Army on other islands, there will definitely be a fight between the Forbidden Army.
There is a way to contact you.
If these forbidden troops are dealt with ruthlessly and someone slips through the net and sends out a signal, it will inevitably reveal that something has happened to Wuliang Island, which may disrupt Suzaku's plan.
Moreover, what is the purpose of Tantai sending these forbidden troops and whether there are other party members. Until these questions are clarified, Qin Xiao will naturally not act rashly. Instead, he will try his best to gain the trust of the captain and get everything from him
Possibly get some information.
Suzaku is naturally very clear about these truths, so when Qin Xiao claimed to cooperate with the Forbidden Army, Suzaku also tried his best to cooperate.
The captain knew that these two people were top masters and that his life and death were completely in the hands of these two people, so he acted very submissive on his face. He just waited for the opportunity to escape, stood up with strength, and looked towards his subordinates.
After taking a look, Qin Xiaoshun looked over and said with a smile: "They are all well-trained tough men. They will be fine if they stand for a few hours. Let them wait here first." He then turned to Black Bat and Fire Crow.
There was a wink on the other side, and it was obvious that he understood it.
The kneecap of the captain's left leg was broken by a kick. After standing still, enduring the pain, he limped along with Qin Xiao and the others to the cabin.
The furniture in the wooden house is simple, but fortunately there are a few chairs made of bamboo.
When he walked into the room, the captain's broken leg was already in severe pain, and cold sweat was oozing out from his forehead. However, this man was worthy of being a soldier. He held it back and walked to a chair.
Unable to hold it any longer, I sat down.
Qin Xiao and Zhuque looked at each other. Zhuque calmly walked to the front window, clasped his hands and looked out from the window. This attitude naturally indicated that he wanted Qin Xiao to talk to the captain.
Qin Xiao sat down on the chair opposite the school captain, looked around, and then asked with a smile: "I haven't asked for your name yet!"
"My surname is Han!" The captain spoke bluntly and asked: "Since we want to talk about joining forces, what are your identities?"
Qin Xiao naturally had already thought of his words and said, "Do you know Mr. Da?"
When Zhuque, who was originally calm, heard this, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Qin Xiao and frowning.
"Uncle Master, now that we are sincerely cooperating with the imperial court, we don't have to hide our identities." Qin Xiao also turned to Suzaku and said seriously: "If you hide your identity, you won't be able to talk about many things."
Suzaku didn't say much and looked out the window again.
"What kind of gentleman are you talking about?" Colonel Han asked suspiciously.
"Mr. Pawnshop." Qin Xiao said sternly: "Captain Han doesn't know something. Mr. Da has set up many pawnshops throughout the Tang Dynasty in recent years. To put it bluntly, they are engaged in underground intelligence trading. In our pawnshop, as long as you are willing to spend money,
You can buy everything.”
Lieutenant Han looked horrified and frowned: "The pawn shop you mentioned...well, I have heard a little about it, but I don't know much."
"I don't hide anything from the captain." Qin Xiao said: "My uncle and I came to Penglai Island to pick up some things on the order of Mr. Da. Among the people outside, two of them are also brothers from our pawn shop. As for the others
We are all members of the Tiesha Sword Sect. In order to conceal our identity, we used the Tiesha Sword Sect as a cover. We originally wanted to board Wuliang Island to spy on the situation on the main island, but we were attacked by the captain.
, then I had to fight back."
Colonel Han was doubtful and asked: "What do you want to take?"
"Not long ago, someone went to a pawn shop and spent a lot of money to buy a few martial arts books." Qin Xiao said: "Those martial arts books are all in the library on Penglai Island. They don't have the strength to take the martial arts books from the library, so they can only
Doing business with the pawn shop. Since Mr. Da founded the pawn shop, he has only refused to accept two types of business. One is business related to the government, and the other is business that has no 10% chance. From Penglai Island
Although it is very difficult to take out the martial arts book, and the pawn shop is only 20 to 30% sure, as long as there is such a chance, we will still go ahead."
Captain Han said: "So you came here under the order of that gentleman to take away a few martial arts books?"
"That's right." Qin Xiao deliberately sighed and said: "There are many people in the pawnshop, and they all need to eat. For this transaction, the price offered by the dealer was really hard for us to refuse. Mr. Da thought about it again and again, and after accepting the business
, he left the matter to his uncle, who planned carefully and led us here." He turned to Suzaku and said: "Uncle, the Dragon Scale Guards are the most elite warriors in the imperial court. This time we should fight with him.
They cooperate, don’t you think?”
Zhuque was amused when he heard Qin Xiao's serious nonsense. If he didn't know the details, Qin Xiao's words sounded sincere, and even she would have believed it.
She knew Qin Xiao had a plan in mind, so she could only cooperate: "You didn't even understand their intentions, but you told us everything clearly. It's really stupid. If... hum, if not
Mr. Da insists on training you, and I won’t let you, a fool, follow you.”
Her tone was cold, and she repeatedly rebuked Qin Xiao. Colonel Han was still hesitant to believe Qin Xiao's words, but when Suzaku said these words, Colonel Han believed them a little, and said tentatively: "In this way, you are just
Are you here for a few martial arts books?"
"May I ask what the captain's intention is in leading the troops to ambush here?" Qin Xiao asked instead, "I have told you a lot, should the captain be honest?"
Colonel Han hesitated for a moment and then said: "You already know our identities, what else do you need to know? But how do you know that we are the Dragon Scale Forbidden Army? Also, you have to recognize me, have we met before?
Otherwise, how could you recognize me at a glance?"
"To be honest, the pawnshop took over a business two years ago, and someone wanted to send a secret letter to the imperial rooftop in the palace." Qin Xiaodao: "I took over the job and sneaked into the palace with the secret letter.
, and handed it over to the Great Heavenly Master. When he entered the palace that time, he happened to encounter the Captain who was patrolling the palace, and almost bumped into him. Fortunately, he noticed it in time and hid, but he also saw the heroic appearance of the Colonel in the secret.
, so we know each other. I just saw your appearance and immediately thought of it, I knew you were Dragon Scale Guards in disguise."
"Great Heavenly Master?" Lieutenant Han said in surprise: "You... have you ever sneaked into the palace?"
"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Xiaowei." Qin Xiao said: "Sneaking into the palace is definitely not to bring harm to the palace. It is indeed just to send a secret letter. We are doing business. What is written in the secret letter?
We don't care why it was sent to the Great Heavenly Master, as long as the secret letter is delivered smoothly."
Captain Han looked surprised, and Qin Xiao was amused. He thought to himself that the other party was just a captain. Even Tantai Xuanye did not dare to provoke the Great Heavenly Master. A captain would definitely not go to the Great Heavenly Master in the future.
Even if he had the guts to confront him, at least now Colonel Han couldn't be sure that he was just talking nonsense.
Captain Han didn't completely disbelieve it at this time, but was only half-convinced.
Although he didn't know much about underground pawnshops, he did know a little bit about them. Although what Qin Xiao said was a bit unbelievable, as far as pawnshops were concerned, it was not impossible.
"Captain Han, when did you arrive at Wuliang Island?" Qin Xiao lost no time in asking: "Besides these people on Wuliang Island, does your department have any other deployments? What is the current situation on the main island?
What is your purpose of ambushing here?"
Qin Xiao had not been cruel to Captain Han before. One of his important purposes was to get more information from this person. Now that he had spoken to this person, he naturally stopped being polite and asked the questions in his heart directly.
Captain Han was still hesitant. Seeing his hesitation, Qin Xiao looked displeased and said lightly: "If Colonel Han has this attitude, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to cooperate. We treat each other sincerely, but Colonel
You're secretive... Humph, I've told you the truth. If the captain doesn't cooperate, he already knows everything about us. What do you think we should do?"
Colonel Han's heart trembled, of course he knew the meaning of Qin Xiao's words.
If the other party reveals their identity and does not cooperate, of course they can only kill and silence them.
"The saint has a decree. Dongji Tianzhai has conspired to rebel and rebel. He is extremely treasonous and must be wiped out." Han Xiaowei hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Tianzhai Taoist leader sneaked into the palace to cause chaos and was killed by the commander. The saint issued an order to pursue him.
To suppress the remnants of thieves, we must wipe out all the Tianzhai disciples on Penglai Island. In addition, all materials and books on the island must be transported back to Kyoto, and when we leave, we must burn down the Tianshi Temple on the island!"
