Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 205
It was Ba Dao who came in with Dugu Shura, and they both knelt and sat on the floor mat of the willow tent.

"I saw a camp with about [-] troops, about forty miles away from here. I have told General Xue that he is going to enter Wenshui County to deploy defenses today." Dugu Shura opened his mouth as soon as he entered the tent.

Ba Dao had a happy expression on his face.

"Uncle Mu, God bless Datang." Ba Dao's tone was filled with a kind of frenzied excitement. While speaking, he took out a map from his pocket, with many markings on it.

Ba Dao pointed to the map and said: "I pledged thousands of money, and the qualification to become an official and knight. I gathered a total of more than 400 rangers, traveled all over the place, and took the head of the item as a guarantee. The main force of Li will go south from here."

Willow is pretty much crawling on the map.

"This is an abandoned county seat, abandoned in the late Sui Dynasty, called Yincheng County. A section of the ancient Great Wall here is not a masonry wall, but an earthen wall, which has been in disrepair for a long time. It is very likely that Xieli is stationed here. His goal Not Chang'an, but heading for Qizhou and Hunzhou."

"them……"

Before Liu Mu could say anything, Dugu Shura said, "They're going after the noble family."

"Take a hostage?" Liu Mu asked.

Both Ba Dao and Dugu Shura shook their heads, they must have robbed first, and it's hard to say whether they will be tied or not.

At this time, Ba Dao took out a small bamboo tube, and poured out a small paper roll from the bamboo tube, with only a few words, which read: [-] to Xichai.

"That bastard, do you have any clues?" Liu Mu asked anxiously.

"Yes, this is a Turkic Han in Chang'an. This Han is called Zhao Deyan. He is so trusted by Jieli that even the former Sui Yicheng princess dared not confront him openly. This is the original one. I arranged for someone to make one as it was. Fake, replace this one."

Liu Mu asked again: "I won't be discovered."

"No, I arranged for someone to see Zhao Deyan throw it into the fire of the roast lamb after showing it to Jieli."

Dugu Xiuluo said at this time: "This is indeed God Blessing Tang. From my point of view, the hidden spy in Chang'an City is just a small person. He only saw tens of thousands of elites going west, but he didn't know the rest. It is precisely this coincidence that the Turkic people did not have the line of Guyuan when they went south."

"Go!" Liu Mu got up and walked out.

The camp has already begun to dismantle the camps, but there is one camp that has not been dismantled, where the captured prisoner is tied up.

"Do you want to interrogate? It's better to wait until we enter Wenshui County for interrogation." Xue Wanbei saw Liu Mu coming up to meet him.

"Okay." Liu Mu nodded in approval.

Eight sergeants came over and tied the man even more firmly, put him in the carriage and tied two pieces of iron to his body, and then 20 people guarded him around.

"He wears silk inside, and the armor on his body is made of fine steel armor leaves. The horse he rides is a Dawan horse from the Western Regions. The bow is a precious bow from the former Sui imperial palace. The model knife is a high-quality steel knife worth at least ten guan. .” Xue Wanbei obviously had a preliminary trial, but there was no result.

Half an hour later, the county magistrate who had asked the county soldiers and civilian husbands to prepare supplies for the defense of the city welcomed Liu Mu and his party into the city.

"Please find a room with a very quiet surrounding, and then find a lot of black cloth and five copper basins for me." As soon as Liu Mu saw the county magistrate, he asked for the things he needed.

The county magistrate was puzzled, but Liu Mu was indeed standing in the middle of these people, presumably he was a noble son of a certain family.

The house was very nice, with black cloth sealing all the windows around, and then two soldiers with lanterns brought the prisoner into the house, but he was not allowed to stand, but was tied to a wooden frame, so that he could sit on the ground. A wooden pillar, but it can't move.

"Who are you?" Willow asked.

He spat at Liu Mu with a mouthful of saliva, and then the prisoner cursed: "Little thing, when the army breaks through the city, I'll scrape you alive with one knife at a time."

"Very good, then I will play with you. Let's see if you are stubborn, or I am more ruthless." Liu Mu sneered.

"come!"

"Then it's coming." Liu Mu winked, Su Dingfang gently placed a wooden frame beside the prisoner, and then held a thin rope in his hand, just waiting for Liu Mu to make a move.

Liu Mu took one of the captive's hands, and slowly scratched the wrist with a blunt knife.

tick...

There was the sound of water dripping on the copper basin.

"When you want to talk, just shout." Liu Mu waved his hand to signal everyone to go out with him.

The room became silent, without a ray of light, only the sound of water falling into the copper basin reached the captive's ears.

Outside the house, Liu Mu ordered: "This square garden is [-] steps away, no abnormal noise is allowed. I wonder how long he will be so stubborn."

Fifty steps away, in a shed, Liu Mu was sleeping soundly on a cushion.

Su Dingfang and Dugu Xiuluo took people to help defend the city, and Ba Dao and the two rangers were here to accompany them.

A ranger asked Ba Dao in a low voice: "Brother Ba, that method feels very strange."

Ba Dao nodded slightly, he could feel that inexplicable sense of fear, thinking that people were in a place where there was no sound and no light, his arm was slipped by a knife, and he kept hearing the sound of water droplets, he would only feel that he was constantly falling. bleeding.

Then the bound person will feel his own blood flow to death.

The sound of dripping water is definitely scaring oneself, and it can scare people to death.

Just half an hour later, Ba Dao heard a ghost-like cry from the room, and then gently shook the willow tree.

Liu Mu woke up, but he didn't hurry to go there, but went to wash his face, and then he walked to the room in a leisurely manner. After Liu Mu entered the room, he signaled to open a window.

"I, I said."

"No rush." ​​Liu Mu winked, and Ba Dao stood on the other side, where there was a set of steel basins.

Liu Mu picked up the blunt knife and scratched the prisoner's other arm, and after the sound of water droplets came again, Liu Mu asked: "You only have one chance, if you answer even the slightest bit falsely, I will answer you." Turn around and go out."

"I, my name is Liang Luoren."

"Very well, so how much do you know about the Turks going south this time?" Liu Mu asked again.

A ranger beside Ba Dao has already taken out a pen and paper to record.

"me……"

Recruited, Liang Luoren began to confess, Dugu Xiuluo and Su Dingfang also arrived, their questions were more professional than Liu Mu's.

After asking dozens of questions, Liang Luoren started to cry: "First, stop the bleeding for me first."

Su Dingfang was about to step forward with a cloth strip, but Liu Mu pulled off the cloth strip covering Liang Luoren's face: "Look at your hands, are you still using to stop the bleeding?"

Su Dingfang was puzzled, didn't Liu Mu's previous efforts be wasted by doing this?
Liang Luoren's complexion changed drastically, and he was even more ready to turn his back.But Liu Mu smiled: "I am very upset that you killed people in front of me. In fact, I don't care how much useful information you said. I have more than a dozen ways to punish people. You should be tougher. Let me find another way to continue playing with you."
