Chapter 221
Tang Yin closed his eyes, lowered his head and meditated, searching for information about these Lingwu students in his mind.
The more his soul burns, the more life and soul he absorbs. This brings with it a huge amount of information. It is impossible for him to filter and sift this information one by one, and his brain also has to withstand it. No, he can only keep some information that he thinks is useful, and throw the rest into the corner of his mind, ignore it, and let it disappear.
Now, he hopes to find out the exact identities of the captured people through the memories of those Lingwu students who were absorbed by him. However, to his disappointment, because he did not deliberately retain them at the time, the memories of those Lingwu students have already been stored in his mind. They couldn't be found, leaving only a blank space, and ordinary Ning Bing knew too little about them. They only knew that they were nobles, and they didn't even know their specific names, let alone their family background.
Tang Yin was slightly disappointed, but he didn't care too much. He thought about it silently in his mind for a while, and then said to Yan Bin with a smile: "Since your army is willing to pay a lot of money to ransom people, then the matter is simple. One million for each person." Two, I wonder if your army can accept it?"
One million taels per person? Tang Yin is like a lion talking loudly! Yan Bin secretly grinned. With such a high price, he didn't dare to make a decision privately. He said: "Master Tang, I really can't make the decision with so much silver. I need to go back and report it to my commander-in-chief, and then give a reply to Master Tang..."
Before he could finish his words, Tang Yin waved his hand with a smile, interrupted him, and said lightly: "I think Mr. Yan has misunderstood. What I said is not one million taels of silver, but one million taels of gold." ”
"What?" After hearing this, Yan Bin couldn't help it anymore. He stood up and asked in disbelief: "Master Tang, did you mean one million taels of gold? One million taels of gold per person?"
"That's right!" Old God Tang Yin said with a smile.
"You..." No matter how good-tempered Yan Bin was, he was about to explode with anger. Tang Yin was simply asking for a high price and had no sincerity in negotiating. He clenched his fists, suppressed his anger, and said quietly: "Master Tang, don't be too desperate when doing things, and leave a way out for yourself!"
Tang Yin also stood up at this time and walked up to Yan Bin. His eyes were so bright that Yan Bin didn't dare to look at him. He sneered and said: "Same words, I was just about to retaliate to you and your army. This is the territory of Gale. Don't think that if Zhong Tian becomes king, you will be able to travel unimpeded in the land of wind. If you go deep alone, you have to fight for it." Leave a way out for yourself, be careful not to be trapped in the wind!"
Yan Bin's expression changed drastically, and his teeth gritted.
Tang Yin was just saying cruel words at this time. No one expected that the situation in the future would be hit by his words.
"So Mr. Tang has no room for negotiation?" Yan Bin took a deep breath and asked in a solemn voice.
"Discuss?" Tang Yin looked up and smiled, and said: "Since the day your Ning army entered Fengdi, there has been nothing to talk about between us. You are bringing humiliation on yourself by coming here today." As he spoke, He looked at the guards on the left and right and shouted: "See you off!"
"Tang Yin, you are just a county chief, how dare you be so arrogant and arrogant. On the day the city is destroyed, our soldiers will definitely kill you without a burial place!" Although Yan Bin is only a civil servant in the Ning Kingdom, he is also very proud in the Feng Kingdom. Very soon, even Zhong Tian was polite to him when he saw him, but now that he was ridiculed by Tang Yin, his anger could no longer be suppressed, and he could only point at Tang Yin's nose and yell.
Tang Yin is not a good-tempered person, and he has no concept of not killing the envoys when the two countries are fighting. Hearing Yan Bin's shouting, he immediately raised his eyebrows, suddenly raised his leg and kicked Yan Bin in the chest, and cursed at the same time Said: "Fuck you!"
Boom!
This kick was so strong that Yan Bin, who was born as a scholar, couldn't bear it even if he didn't use his spiritual energy.
He screamed in pain, fell backwards and rolled over, from inside the tent to outside. Tang Yin refused to follow him, and chased him out with long strides. At the same time, he pulled out a sword from the waist of the guard at the door, came to Yan Bin who was dizzy after falling, turned his wrist, and struck the sword continuously.
There were only three blows, and both of Yan Bin's ears and nose were cut off by the sharp edge of the sword. The latter's screams of pain immediately turned into screams. Yan Bin covered his face with his hands, but he could not stop the gurgling. The blood flowed out in a short time, and his hands and the clothes on his chest were stained red.
Tang Yin was condescending, looking down at the miserable Yan Bin, raising the corners of his mouth and sneering. He raised his legs, stepped on Yan Bin's head, and said: "Go back and tell Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi to wash their necks and wait. Let me get their heads! "Get out of here!" He stepped on Yan Bin's head and stabbed him hard, causing the latter to crawl to the ground and roll away.
Yan Bin was full of confidence when he came, thinking that Tang Yin and others who were besieged by his own army would definitely let him go in order to please his own side, and they might not even dare to ask for a ransom. Who knew that Tang Yin was not who he imagined at all, not only did he not release him , and cut off his ears and nose.
Picking your nose was a great shame to people at that time. Amid the jeers of many Feng soldiers, Yan Bin was supported by the coachman and climbed onto the carriage tremblingly, and then grinned and cried all the way back to the Ningjun camp.
After Yan Bin left, Tang Yin returned the sword to the guard and asked Shangguan Yuan: "Are the Ning generals who were captured by us the day before yesterday still there?"
Shangguan Yuanrang didn't know where those prisoners were being held. He scratched his head and couldn't answer. At this time, Shen Zhichen hurriedly responded: "Sir, those prisoners are all here! It's about the barracks in Beicheng. inside!"
"Oh!" Tang Yin nodded with a smile, and said to everyone: "Let's go and see!"
There were eight captured Ningguo Lingwu students, and among these eight, seven were of noble birth and had prominent family backgrounds. Zhan Wushuang didn't know that Zhan Wudi followed the advice of his staff and sent the students of Lingwu Academy to the battlefield. When he heard about it and wanted to stop it, it was too late.
Zhan Wushuang was so anxious that he stamped his feet repeatedly. How could the students of Lingwu Academy be sent to the battlefield casually? You have to know how many of them were of noble birth and proud family background. Once something happened on the battlefield, how would the elders above them look at him and Zhan Wudi? Isn't this equivalent to creating political enemies for the Zhan family?
Later, only ten of the fifty or so spiritual martial arts students ran back, and most of the rest were killed, and some were captured. Zhan Wushuang was so anxious and angry that he almost fainted. When Zhan Wudi returned to the camp after the battle and reported to him, Zhan Wushuang scolded his brother.
After another count, Zhan Wudi was dumbfounded. Among the eight captured people, there were the descendants of high-ranking officials such as the Right Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor of Ningguo. The most fatal thing was that there was also the sister of the Queen of Ning Wang, Cai Youling. Cai Youling fell into the hands of the Feng Army. Let alone any harm, even if she was humiliated a little, the two brothers Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi would be in trouble.
At this time, Zhan Wudi also realized that the situation was serious, but the first thing he thought of was not to reflect on his mistakes, but to vent all his anger on the staff who gave him advice. He didn't even meet the staff, and directly ordered someone to capture him and execute him on the spot.
Even if the staff member who gave the original idea was killed, the actual problem could not be solved. At this time, someone gave the brothers Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi an idea, suggesting that they should strengthen the attack and use a sharp offensive to force the Feng Army in Jinhua City to release the prisoners, at least they would not dare to easily harm their prisoners. Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi both thought that this person's idea was feasible, and then the next day they organized a north-south attack of more than 200,000 people.
But at that time, the able-bodied men in Jinhua City had been added to the Feng Army, making the defenders strong and the resistance was also extremely tenacious and fierce. After a hard battle for a long time, the Ning Army did not achieve any results. The brothers Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi could only withdraw their troops hastily and seek other strategies. Later, it was Yan Bin who took the initiative to propose to go to Jinhua City to redeem all the captured Lingwu students in the form of ransom.
Now Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi didn't have any good ideas, so they could only try their best. They accepted Yan Bin's proposal and sent him to Jinhua City to negotiate with Tang Yin. As a result, not only did they fail to redeem the people, but they also lost their noses and ears, which was embarrassing and conspicuous.
Tang Yin didn't know the internal situation of the Ning Army, and he didn't know the exact identities of the captured spiritual martial arts students.
After leading people into the barracks, he looked up and saw that the eight young men and women who were captured by their side the day before were all there. At this time, they had taken the Sanling Pill, and their spiritual martial arts skills could not be condensed. The armor on their bodies had been stripped off long ago. They were only wearing middle clothes, and their hair was disheveled, listless, and lost their former prestige.
Seeing Tang Yin and others approaching, the eight young men raised their heads together, and one of them screamed: "Who are you? Let us go!"
"Heh!" Tang Yin couldn't help laughing out loud. People who say such things seem to have no brains. He turned his head and saw that the person who was talking was not someone else, but the arrogant noble young man he met in the Ning Army camp that day.
Before Tang Yin could speak, the girl sitting next to the young man had already glared at him fiercely, then she looked up at Tang Yin and asked, "May I ask the general's name?"
Tang Yin also knew the girl who was talking. It was her who stopped the young man that day. It seemed that her name was You Ling, and it could be seen that she had an unusual relationship with the young man.
Tang Yin still had a good impression of this girl, and he slowly replied, "Tang Yin."
"What? You...you are Tang Yin?!" The young man shouted in surprise with a shrill voice. In his imagination, Tang Yin should be a cunning old man in his forties or fifties, and he never expected that he was about the same age as himself.
The girl glared at him again and secretly pulled the corner of his clothes, suggesting that he should not say anything more. Then, she forced a smile and said, "It's Lord Tang. My apologies!" After a pause, she asked seriously, "I wonder what conditions Lord Tang needs in order to let us go?"
