Chapter 464

After a little hesitation for a while, Ning Yue looked to Geng Jin and Fang Huanlan, and said, "can you stay away and let me have a private talk with him?"

As if aware of something, Geng Jin shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not. The location of the city tower is very important. If it is not easy to recapture it, it is necessary to strengthen the fortification. If you like, arrange a room for him. You can interrogate him all night

"You seem to have guessed. Well, I'll be straight. "

Ning Yue sighed, drew back the dark Xuan sword, raised his hand and patted the demon leader on the shoulder.

"You go. If we go down now, we should have time to catch up with your subordinates. "

The words suddenly made the guards around look in the eyes, but they heard a metal hum, the sword came out of its sheath, and the spear pointed out.

Just as what he was most worried about, Geng Jin couldn't stand by any longer. He said, "Hey, boy, how dare you do that? What are you going to do? "

"Your rules should be the same as what he said. Whoever catches it is in charge. Now general Lu is back safe and sound - no, not safe and sound, but they didn't do the injuries before. In exchange, isn't it normal to let them go? "

"Normal what? I thought something was wrong with you just now. Is that true? What kind of drug ransom? It's all for us, isn't it? Hum, it's not my race, it's different. Just now that woman also said, you have the blood of the demons! "

Under Geng Jin's command, a group of soldiers stirred up again, and even raised their bows and arrows to point at ningyue and the demon leader.

"Put it down! Weapons are not used against one's own people! "

A long gun stroke, Fang Huanlan stopped in front of the army, glared. In her eyes, nearly half of the soldiers showed instinctive fear, no longer as strong as before.

Geng Jin replied in a deep voice: "if you are really one of your own, I will plead guilty afterwards. However, in front of all of us, it is totally contrary to what he said just now to say that the prisoners should be released. Under such circumstances, there are plenty of reasons to doubt him, right

"He can be doubted by that sentence alone. But don't forget, before is not ningyue hand, the development of the situation will be very bad. At least in the present situation, he has brought it. "

Speaking of this, Fang Huanlan slowly looked to ningyue.

"However, we still need a reasonable explanation for what we said just now."

"The explanation is that I don't think it's very useful to keep him. It may cause more trouble. Let go is not to send a favor, but at least will not knot resentment deeper. As for the ransom, I think even if he is released in advance, it will be made up, right? "

Having said that, ningyue's dark Xuan sword has been put into the scabbard.

"As long as you believe me, I will do what I say." The commander moved his limbs, completely ignoring the big bow and sharp arrow still raised in front of him, only staring at Ning Yue.

Ning Yue said with a smile, "I believe it. I certainly believe that a general who has pity on his subordinates and would rather be a captive himself. let's go. I have the ability to capture you alive in the chaos army. Now, even if their arrows are pointing at you, I am sure that you can get away safely. "

The commander replied, "I'm leaving. What do you do? These people's doubts about you can't be dispelled by just a few words of a few people who believe you. Why don't you come with me. There, you won't be so doubted, and you can get the real world to show it

"Forget it. If so, is my purpose too utilitarian? In order to please a demon aristocrat, and betray their friends, live up to their trust. Do you really think such a person can be entrusted with important tasks? "

"For the honesty of your words, I promise to double the promised ransom within one month. Moreover, no matter how the army moves, the troops under my direct command will no longer attack the city gates here. As for the manager, I will try to persuade him. I still have that face. "

With a smile, the commander jumped up, grabbed the rope tied at the end of the city, stretched out his other hand, and then quickly slipped down.

"Shoot the arrow!"

"I see who dares!"

Two reprimands start one after another. Geng Jin stares at Fang Huanlan and says angrily: "it seems that you have left here for too long. You forget your duty and begin to be selfish and partial."

"It's not partiality, but I'm sure your arrows won't hurt him. Once that is done, there will be no room for any remedy in the future. "

Glancing at Geng Jin, Fang Huanlan looked at Ning Yue again. Her face was slightly gloomy and she said in a low voice, "what are you thinking about? Even if he is captured by you, it's a felony to release the prisoner privately. "

"Well, I'll go to Huangmen pass and ask Marshal Bei to apologize. By the way, mu Yinyin, you seem to have thought of something. How about going to the North marshal to have a cup of tea

"Well, don't decide for me, will you?"

Half an hour later, Huangmen pass, North Marshal room.

"That is to say, when you were captured by Xiaolu, you suddenly took out your hand and captured the other party's general. Originally said to detain him, waiting for ransom, but suddenly let him go? Such random behavior is not allowed in the army. There are merits and demerits, but the demerits are greater than the demerits. Tell me, how are you going to explain? "

Marshal Bei stared at ningyue standing in front of him. No matter his eyes or his words just now, he didn't seem to be angry.

Ning Yue replied: "when I decided to let his men go, I suddenly thought of a mistake I had committed. If at that time, the unidentified woman from the other side suddenly had a problem, and only the commander was left in our hands. With her strength, she was on the castle, and it was not difficult to rob. She is not the subordinate of the commander. She came to save him and did some treacherous things, which is perfectly reasonable. "

With a cold snort, marshal Bei replied: "I'm afraid of a powerful demon assassin. I'll let you release people in advance in public. I can't say I don't believe it. As far as I know, although you like to gamble a lot sometimes, if the situation is not urgent, you prefer to make careful arrangements. On the way from taking people to the top of the city, you should not only think of such a stupid way to compromise, should you

There was no direct answer. Rather, she looked to one side and refused to come. However, she shrugged and said, "tell me what you think. Just now, I noticed that most of the others were surprised and puzzled, but you have been thinking since I negotiated with that woman. "

"Yo? It's not bad. Do you have time to pay attention to my expression? Why do you want me to help you with such a bad reason? "

At the same time, she noticed that marshal Bei began to gaze at her. She turned to look at each other and said respectfully, "as far as I can guess, the commander concealed his identity. He can't be as simple as an ordinary demon aristocrat's son. On the surface, the woman in the shadow of the eclipse wanted to save the whole team in exchange for hostages without revealing her identity. On the surface, she actually rescued the commander. However, it's a lot more risky than taking people away. Besides, it's too time-consuming. "

Marshal Bei seemed to smile in secret and said, "in your opinion, what is her intention?"

"Mixed food. Let's focus too much on the hostage exchange intention she created and ignore the secret she wanted to hide. Perhaps, she has plans secretly. For the sake of safety, she will appear publicly to attract our attention and buy time for the rest of her companions. "

"What you said is not impossible, but in the absence of specific evidence, it is far fetched."

"I know. So, it's just speculation. "

At this time, Ning Yue raised his hand, indicating that he had something else to say.

Marshal North nodded and said, "you'd better pray that I can be convinced of your words."

"Besides that woman, I had another eclipse tonight. But he had no hostility to me. And in the conversation with him, confirmed the speculation during the day before. On the surface, the elite demon army supporting the nomadic tribes outside the pass should have its own purpose, not really helping them fight. The appearance of the eclipse has nothing to do with the war. I'm afraid it has other purposes. I wonder if it has something to do with the commander with a different identity. If it is, then I can't afford to gamble. Because, in the dark, it is very likely that the third or even the fourth place of eclipse is still dormant. In the face of such assassins at night, maybe the strong people in lianglangguan may repel them, but they may not be able to stop their killing in time. For the sake of insurance, I chose to release people in advance and sell them a favor. "

"These are just conjectures. Do you have direct evidence?" Marshal Bei's eyes began to deepen.

Ning Yue shook his head and sighed, "No."

"Well, are you ready to be punished?"

"Well, can we talk about it tomorrow, at least let me sleep first?"

……

The army of the demons, the general's barracks.

Looking at the returning commander, the general snorted coldly and said, "you don't know what the purpose of our sneak attack tonight is. What do you do when you take a team to the inside of Chengguan? Almost, but I can't come back. Well, in my capacity, I have no right to blame you. "

"I said from the first day that I forgot my identity in the army. It's my fault to send troops without permission. As a general, you should punish me. I have no complaints. But I think I'll bring the kestrel first, and I'll write a letter back. "

"What letter?"

"The agreed ransom, let people bring it here and give it to the human garrison. Even if I'm released in advance, what I should give is still given. Otherwise, it will be a breach of faith. "

……

The next day, two wolf pass.

With two black circles under his eyes, Ning more and more casually looked at the caravans gathered here early below, and then turned over the roster.

Unexpectedly, he asked for help to find out who was inside the two wolf pass last night. He wanted to come to the register to thoroughly investigate all the caravans entering the pass. Marshal Bei agreed.

It's just as if he's deliberately trying to embarrass him. The roster is not allowed to be taken away. If you want to use it, copy three copies by yourself. One for his own use, one for the two wolf Guan generals, and one for Marshal Bei to leave. Of course, with such a good opportunity, the more unlikely it would be to copy only three copies.

So in order to secretly trade that one, a total of four copies of the list copied, he found that it was almost dawn.

"What am I doing? It's clearly to help them retreat from the enemy, but to suffer this crime. I knew earlier that I should not interfere, let alone get up with my nature. " Secretly a sigh, rather more eyes no doubt a glance, noticed a woman below. At that moment, the other side seems to be deliberately dodging their gaze. In a hurry, he looked at several notes. Suddenly, he understood something“ You, come here
