Daqin: Consolidate the destiny of the country and help the ancestors live forever!

"it's me."

A hoarse voice came from the mouth of the beggar,

Fan Zeng and the others confirmed that this was the queen of Vice General Zhou Qi.

Looking at Zhou Qi who looked like a beggar in disbelief.

The mouths of several people were almost ready to stuff an egg.

The Wizards went out not long ago this week, why did they come back like this again?

It looked as if he had been beaten and abused.

Could it be that Zhou Qi started threatening to fail?

Otherwise, how could it be repaired by the people of the imperial army?

"How did you become like this?"

"What happened?"

Fan Zeng approached curiously and looked at Zhou Qi.

At this time, Zhou Qi was even more of a beggar than a beggar.

The rest of the generals also joined in.

Everyone is very curious about what happened to Zhou Qi.

How long has it been?

It's just time to go back and forth.

How did it become so miserable?

Under the expectant eyes of everyone.

Zhou Qi finally couldn't help but speak.

At this moment, he felt as if he was being tricked by a monkey.

He was the monkey in the middle of the crowd, and everyone was watching him.

"Don't look at me like that."

"It was just being surrounded and beaten violently."

"It's nothing serious, am I coming back safely?"

"They didn't hit hard, they just took it out on me."

Zhou Qi felt extremely wronged and felt abandoned.

"Is this still called venting?"

"My lord is about to be beaten to death seeing your miserable appearance."

Hu Hai muttered to the side, but luckily he wasn't the one to make the deal.

Otherwise, the current Zhou Qi is his epitome.

"You all go down first."

With a big wave of Ren Xiao's hand, the soldiers retreated.

Only some generals remained.

Zhou Qi was beaten violently, maybe the mission failed.

He urgently needs to know the inside story.

The soldiers saluted and left.

After everyone left, Ren Xiao looked at Zhou Qi.

"You were beaten a bit miserably, are you alright?"

"Did you get hurt anywhere?"

"It's okay, I'm in good shape."

Zhou Qi couldn't help feeling his body warm up.

It feels good to be cared about.

Unlike others, no one asked him if he was okay.

Only care about what happened, whether the transaction failed.

No one asked him where he was hurt.

Ren Xiao nodded.

"It's fine."

"Would you like to wash it up and talk about what happened?"

Ren Xiao still has a way of caring for his subordinates.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people working for him.

Regardless of the meaning of this small caring, the impact is huge.

"no need."

"It's all small things for me."

"Let's get down to business first."

Zhou Qi was a little excited, the county captain cared about him so much.

He felt it was all worth it.

Then Zhou Qi told everything that happened when he went to the imperial army.

I told you the truth, without any concealment.

After Zhou Qi finished speaking, Ren Xiao and the others were speechless for a while.

This matter is a bit complicated. I didn't expect their young commander to say that.

This made them feel that the role of this hostage was much reduced.

I thought that with a hostage, I could do whatever I wanted.

But now I never expected such a result.

Said that they didn't pay much attention to Meng Yi, and they were buried with Meng Yi when he died.

"The threat now appears to be dead."

"Could it be that hostages are the only way to exchange food?"

Ren Xiao frowned, he didn't want to.

After all, they are much safer with hostages in hand.

Although the young commander promised not to attack them, he said they still have value to use.

It was extremely awkward to hear this, and I really regarded them as tools to open the way.

But the fact is that, although it sounds awkward, there is nothing you can do about it.

"Aren't we going to starve then?"

"Hurry up and think of a way!"

Hu Hai jumped out.

These days are so hard.

If you are still on your way hungry, will you let people live?

Ren Xiao didn't pay attention to Hu Hai's yelling, but looked at Fan Zeng.

"Mr. Fan, is there a way?"

Several people looked at Fan Zeng.

Now maybe only this old man can do something.

They really don't know what to do.

Take hostages in exchange for food or go hungry?

For a while, everyone was caught in a dilemma.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Fan Zeng had no choice but to smile.

When the hostages die, they will be buried with them.

Even if they kill the hostages, they will also be buried with them.

No matter what the hostages are, they just cannot die in their hands.

It is wrong to say that hostages are not important, and it seems that it is not that important to say that hostages are important.

Fan Zeng's previous strategy was to threaten the other party, but that was based on the premise that the hostages were very important.

But now the hostages don't seem to be that important in the other party's eyes.

This is a bit difficult, and the threat will not work unless the hostages are exchanged for food.

But if the hostages are not in hand, they will feel less safe.

Fan Zeng's eyes were erratic, and he began to think seriously.

Ren Xiao and the others did not bother to urge him.

The scene immediately fell silent.

After a while.

Only then did Fan Zeng speak.

"I think hostages can be exchanged for food and grass."

Ren Xiao looked at Fan Zeng: "Aren't you afraid that when there are no hostages, they will attack us?"

Fan Zeng shook his head slowly, there is no need to worry about this.

If the threat fails, the hostages can only be exchanged for food.

"Lieutenant, to put it bluntly, we are tool people."

"They need us to open the way in front of them, so they don't make things difficult for us."

"If they wanted to do something to us, they probably would have done it long ago."

"The reason why we didn't do anything to us is because we haven't opened up this road yet."

"Although there are no hostages in hand, as long as the road is not open, we should be safe."

Fan Zeng's words made it impossible for others to refute.

Even if I want to refute, I don't know what to say.

"Then what if we don't have any hostages in our hands and they call us without the road being cleared?"

Ren Xiao was still a little worried, not afraid of ten thousand but just in case.

"Lieutenant, we can only gamble."

"Bet they won't do it."

"After all, they haven't done anything for so long, and they probably want us to open the way."

"Otherwise, they would have done it long ago. They probably didn't want to save the hostages. If they wanted to save them, they should have a chance to save them."

"So we don't have to worry too much."

"At this point, worrying is useless."

"It's better to wait until we reach the so-called Maurya Dynasty and then think about how to avoid the people behind."

Fan Zeng thought too much, and now that he has come to this point, there is no other way.

We can only see how to avoid the pursuers behind us.
