Xiao Ye was also stunned and turned around to look at the prisoner who was pressed by the shadow guard and said doubtfully: "What are you talking about, these two are really the third prince and the fourth prince?"
During these days of marching, he and Xu Qing learned some prairie dialect. Although he was stumbling when speaking, he could already understand what others meant.
Just listen to the prisoner hum: "Despicable Central Plains people! Even if you threaten me with the lives of the third and fourth princes, I will not reveal any information! If you have the ability, kill them!"
Although the other prisoner was speechless, his determined eyes told Xiao Ye everything. Even if the people from the Central Plains took the lives of the third and fourth princes, they would not say anything!
The third and fourth princes looked at them with doubts and disbelief in their eyes. Why didn't you say anything and let these Central Plains people kill us?
We are both very innocent!
When Xiao Ye heard what the two prisoners said, he kicked them away. Why should he interrogate the third and fourth princes when he could interrogate them?
Are the third and fourth princes tougher than you?
Or do they think they have more information than the prince?
If Xiao Ye hadn't thought that the two of them were seriously ill patients, they would have been interrogated two hours ago.
I told you earlier that your identity was true.
Xiao Ye raised his whip and looked at the beaten third prince with bruises all over his body and asked: "Are you going to say it or not?!"
The third prince gritted his teeth and said, "You beat us for half an hour and kept asking us whether we would tell or not. What exactly did you ask us to say?! You asked!"
Xiao Ye looked at the shadow guard who had suppressed the two prisoners and came back and said, "Did you never ask?"
Xuanjia Shadow Guard cupped his fists and said, "Report to Your Highness, my subordinate asked."
Xiao Ye turned his head and looked at the third prince and said, "Look, I asked, it's not like I didn't ask."
The third prince gritted his teeth and said, "Then you should listen to what he asked!"
Xiao Ye turned his head again: "What are you asking?"
Xuan Jiaying Weidao; "Position, name."
Xiao Ye looked at the third prince again: "Wouldn't it be over if you tell him?"
Third Prince: "I told him hundreds of times that I am the Third Prince, and he beat me harder and harder! Can't you just ask what you want to ask? Why do you have to hold on to your position?"
Xiao Ye looked embarrassed and said: "Okay, okay, it's no longer important what you ask. Are you willing to confess?"
The third prince gritted his teeth and said, "This time my fourth brother and I came here just to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. How dare you do this to those who abandon the darkness and turn to the light?!"
Xiao Ye waved his hand and said, "You're just talking nonsense. You were obviously tied up by the shadow guards and carried back. Brother Xu, tell me, what kind of abandonment of darkness is this?"
Xu Qing nodded and said, "That's right. When the robber was caught, he was almost executed in the county government office. The robber came to ask for a reduced sentence because he surrendered himself. Is this credible?"
The third prince gritted his teeth and said, "Nonsense! If it weren't for the shadow guards from the Central Plains who suddenly rushed out, we would have surrendered ourselves long ago!"
Xiao Ye; "Are we co-writing or are we delaying you from abandoning the dark side and turning to the bright side?"
Third Prince: "Do the people in the Central Plains like to hang up and question those who turn from darkness to light?"
When Xiao Ye heard the third prince's words, he waved his hand and said, "Come here, please untie them two."
No matter whether they turned against the dark side or not, as long as they confessed, everything would be fine. Xiao Ye was still anxious to make great achievements!
The third and fourth princes were finally released. In addition to the rope marks, there were countless whipping scars all over their bodies. It can be said that they were the most miserable betrayal in history.
After his feet finally stood on the ground again, the third prince endured the pain all over his body and said, "We need medicine for healing."
Xu Qing nodded and waved, "Come here, get medicine for the two young masters."
The third prince rubbed his stomach and said, "We are still hungry."
Xu Qing: "Come here, feed the two gentlemen some cakes!"
The third prince gritted his teeth; "We don't need to feed him!"
Xu Qing coughed and said, "Sorry, I'm used to it."
…
After the two people had eaten and drank enough, Xiao Ye gave them a new set of clothes. The previous one had been damaged by a whip.
Since these two people were the princes of Wanyan Khan and were considered to be members of the royal family, Xiao Ye still gave them some preferential treatment. After all, the two royal family members had a lot of valuable information!
The open space outside the tent
After the third prince and the fourth prince changed into new clothes, the third prince stepped forward and looked at Xiao Ye and said, "If we want to abandon the dark and turn to the light, what can you give us?"
Xiao Ye asked; "What do you want?"
The third prince asked: "Anything you want is fine?"
Xiao Ye; "If you want more, I won't give it to you."
The third prince guessed that this would be the result, and he said: "We don't want much, we just want a lifetime of glory and wealth."
Xiao Ye nodded and said, "Then it depends on what kind of information you can provide."
Xu Qing took over and said, "For example, the first question, how many troops are stationed here by the Wanyan Department? Where is the food and grass?"
The third prince answered honestly: "There are a total of 1,500 troops."
Xiao Ye frowned and said: "There are many tents in the prairie camp, but you told me there are only 1,500 people? I think that number is enough to compete with our Chu cavalry! Do you dare to play tricks on me?"
The third prince immediately said, "That's a deception! Most of the tents are empty! It's just to confuse you! The main force of our grassland has already gone to attack the Zhou Kingdom! It's not here at all!"
Xiao Ye was surprised and said, "What did you say? This happened?"
After saying that, Xiao Ye looked at Xu Qing and said, "Brother Xu, do you think his words are true?"
Xu Qing said: "Are you so confident that we will not storm the camp?"
The third prince said: "The camp is full of horse snagging ropes and horse pits, and there are sharpened logs under the pits! Even if you attack the camp, you will suffer huge losses!"
After saying this, Xu Qing immediately believed a lot.
Because it was an uninhabited camp, many horse pits and horse snagging ropes were prepared in the camp. Otherwise, it would be easy for them to step on them due to the dense crowd of people, and the gain would outweigh the loss.
If there were only 1,500 people patrolling in such a huge camp, then there would be room for so many horse tripping ropes and horse traps.
Xu Qing can probably infer from the IQs of the eldest prince and the second prince that the third prince should not be able to tell a flawless lie with his brains.
But for the sake of safety, Xu Qing still did not choose to believe the third prince's words. This was Xiao Ye's first time leading an army, so he had to be cautious, otherwise it would not be conducive to Xiao Ye's establishment of prestige in the army.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Qing interrogated the third prince who had abandoned the dark and turned to the bright side with many other questions. The third prince answered them one by one, and the third prince also remarked the locations of the Pantu and Dalai tribes after their relocation on the map. It can be said that
