Chapter 172 Bad News and Doubts (Additional Update for AT Ten Thousand Rewards)
In fact, when the commander of the desperate street came over, the first target he planned to pry open was this guy. The first two were just chickens to be killed for the monkeys to see.
Because this sand pirate is not only young and thin, but also has a stronger look of fear on his face. At first glance, he is a greedy person who is afraid of death.
In theory, it's easier to get the truth out of this guy's mouth.
Sure enough, the actual development was as expected. After Hu Biao looked over with his dull eyes, the guy could no longer hold his nerve.
I cried in Chinese that was a bit difficult to pronounce, but basically understandable:
"I can speak Chinese, I can say, don't kill me~"
When he finally spoke, a middle-aged Sand Bandit prisoner a few places away started yelling and cursing like crazy, and it looked like he was still struggling to come over and kick him.
In the end, he cursed half a sentence, and the corn was chopped down with a knife.
Even because the knife in his hand was quite sharp and the force was strong enough; after the knife came down, a head was cut off directly.
Suddenly, amidst the blood spurting from his neck, his head began to roll on the ground.
It was so undying that this dead-eyed head rolled directly in front of the crying sand bandit.
Seeing the reaction of that timid guy who peed his pants on the spot, Hu Biao and others knew that the credibility of the confession they were asked about next was probably relatively high.
After giving Xu Feng a look, the two of them immediately dragged this guy to the other end of the camp, and then started asking...
"Damn it! In the original history, there should be no similar things happening, right? Could it be that after we appeared, these are the situations that only appeared after the grandson of the system made some adjustments."
Hu Biao lit a cigarette, took a long puff, and then cursed like this in his mouth.
It seemed that the smoke was full of strong depressive meaning.
The current time is already half an hour after they first found a group of prisoners and extorted confessions.
After some interrogation, not only did they get a lot of useful information out of the mouth of the prisoner who was afraid of death, but Yang Dongli and others also got a lot of information out of the mouths of the other two horse bandits.
Because they were all questioned separately, there was no possibility of collusion between the two.
After the three confessions were corroborated with each other, it was found that the contents were similar, so the proof was completely credible; the problem was that the contents were indeed not good at all:
Because I don’t know what went wrong, anyway, the news that Dou Gu, the captain of Fengcha, sent Ban Chao and Guo Xun on an envoy to the Shanshan Kingdom in the Western Regions was learned by the Huns.
After Xizuo learned the news, he intercepted and killed Ban Chao and others in advance, although he had no time to notify his own army.
However, the unknown spy seemed to have quite a high status and considerable influence. He immediately sent people to target the sand bandits and horse bandits in the surrounding areas and issued a reward order.
It is said that no matter who you are, as long as you take the head of either Guo Xun or Ban Chao to the Huns to collect the reward, you can receive a large reward.
That's why tonight, a situation occurred where these people came over in the middle of the night.
The question that Hu Biao and others had before about why these sand bandits and horse bandits did not go out together was also answered in these confessions.
Because they are basically two different people, both of whom want to monopolize this reward.
It's a pity that they didn't expect that the combat effectiveness of this small team would be so strong, which led to a situation where Hu Biao and others had a slight time lag.
They even completely defeated them and captured them.
*******
Facing Hu Biao's inquiry, Operations Officer Yang Dongli, the current intellectual leader of this team, also couldn't help but smile bitterly.
After a while, he said:
"Whether the change happened because of our appearance, or it was there originally, but it is not recorded in the history books, and it actually has no meaning at all.
Instead of dwelling on these useless things, why not think about what to do next?
The prisoners confessed that in places like the Western Regions, the number of horse bandits and sand bandits was as astonishing as the sand in the desert.
Even many small tribes regard this stuff as a side job.
In order to reward the Huns, and to please the Huns, countless teams have come to kill them like cats smelling fishy smell.
I believe there must be many Huns blocking the way.
So the question now is, should we choose to continue going around, or take a detour? If we take a detour, how long will it take, is there enough water, and is the mission time enough?
By the way! I think it’s important to ask Ben Chao and Guo for their opinions on such an important matter, right?
Logically speaking, we are just small soldiers, and it seems that it is not our turn to make such a major decision."
After hearing this, Hu Biao realized that Ban Chao and the others needed to make decisions on such a big matter, and if it really didn't work, they could only give tactful suggestions.
The way I decided in advance seemed a bit taken for granted.
But this way, everything becomes simpler. It's better to let Ban Chao and others have a headache with these things.
But when Hu Biao stood up and planned to tell Ban Chao, Guo Xun and others the bad news, Yang Dongli grabbed his clothes.
"Lao Yang, do you have anything else to do?"
Seeing the hem of clothes held by Yang Dongli and the thoughtful look on his face, Hu Biao immediately asked this question.
Not to mention, Yang Dongli really has something going on, and it is quite important.
Comrade Lao Yang, after pondering silently for a while, asked a question that Hu Biao and others had been confused about before:
"Tell me, does Ban Chao know martial arts or internal strength?"
What has always puzzled Hu Biao and others is that King Chu Ba was rumored to be able to lift a gigantic cauldron, and Li Yuanba's pair of hammers weighed 800 kilograms, each weighing 400 kilograms.
Not to mention these horrific legends, the others are a little bit inferior.
For example, Guan Erye's Qinglong Yanyue Sword weighs 82 kilograms, and Dian Wei's large double halberd weighs 80 kilograms. There are also many fierce generals in history who can wield weapons weighing seventy, eighty, or hundreds of kilograms from beginning to end.
And they? Although as they continue to polish their bodies, they can become stronger, stronger, and able to use stronger weapons.
However, there is a bottleneck period and upper limit, which is far from reaching the level of the above people.
Hu Biao and others also admitted that after the above statements were passed down, they must be exaggerated; there are also many talented people who are incomparable to ordinary people and can indeed use heavier weapons.
But when the gap reached such an extent, they were definitely a little unconvinced.
They are all ancestors, and their genetic sequences are supposed to be the same; such an astonishing difference is quite unscientific.
Besides, just being able to fight for a long time with a weapon weighing fifty pounds exceeds the limits of the human body.
After thinking for a long time, they always thought that there must be something similar to martial arts and internal strength in history.
Otherwise, how can we explain the exercises that cannot be redeemed at all in the system mall?
Especially today, seeing what happened when Ban Chao took the lead in charging towards the leader of the horse bandits, they became even more suspicious.
"There should be some, right? How about Lao Hu go directly to Ban Dingyuan and ask when he reports the situation."
AT was prompted by Yang Dongli's question.
Faced with this suggestion, Hu Biao was a little unsure: "Asking directly? Isn't this a bit bad? Is it too direct or a little more tactful?"
"Ask directly." Xu Feng said quite firmly.
Then under Hu Biao's doubtful eyes, he expressed his reasons:
"Ban Chao is a true gentleman. He pays attention to Confucianism and talks to others about everything. He won't talk about great things, but he won't argue with you afterwards, let alone hold grudges."
"Okay, then I'll just go and ask you a question."
After hearing this, Hu Biao also made up his mind, called Lang Qing, who had collected statistics, and walked towards Guo Xun's camp together.
He doesn't want to find someone to report the same thing twice in a row...
(Some techniques will be set, but they won’t be too powerful, so you don’t have to worry about them being too crooked in the future.)
The explosion has been going on for two days. I can’t stand it anymore. Please let me slow down.
