Then, the Mouke flew out.
"puff!"
Big Head rushed down into a snowdrift, kicking his legs wildly.
Several Jin soldiers rushed forward and frantically got him out of the snow.
The Jin army's Mouke's face was pale, his chest was heaving violently, and he was gasping for breath.
The look he gave Hei Wuchang was filled with fear.
Hei Wuchang didn't even look at him, but put his hands behind his back and walked slowly towards the camp gate.
Several Jin army generals were indignant and picked up their weapons to look at Yin Shuke.
"General, this guy is too arrogant. Let's just go all out and kill him."
"A bunch of brainless idiots." Yin Shuke glared at them. "If we kill him, what will happen to Marshal Nianhan? Everyone, retreat. No one can touch him."
Hei Wuchang just walked away like that.
Yin Shu didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately called the commander of his personal army.
"Take my token and return to Liu Family Temple, bringing the captured princess and concubine with you."
Pharmacist Guo, who was sitting nearby, opened his mouth but said nothing.
After the commander of the imperial army left, Yin Shuke glanced at Pharmacist Guo and asked, "I saw you wanted to say something just now, why did you swallow it back?"
When Pharmacist Guo heard the question, he bowed and said flatteringly, "I wanted to persuade the general not to let them all go, but to pick out a few of the young and beautiful ones. But then I thought, there's a shortage of everything in the world, except women. I can just snatch them back later, haha!"
Yin Shuke nodded and asked, "You led your troops to attack Zhang Xiaozhuang, why didn't you completely surround it?"
Pharmacist Guo was stunned and said, "General, as soon as I arrived here, I surrounded it like an iron barrel. Not even a fly could get out. If you don't believe me, you can ask Sai Ci."
Yin Shuke's face was gloomy. He asked, "If that's the case, how did Zhang Shixun get out? And how did he get back?"
Pharmacist Guo's heart skipped a beat, knowing that Yin Shu was about to attack him.
"If Zhang Shixun couldn't escape, Marshal Nianhan wouldn't have been captured by him... Pharmacist Guo, just for this, I can behead you."
Pharmacist Guo was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said, "General, please allow me to explain."
"What do you have to explain?"
"General, you don't know. Zhang Shixun dug a tunnel inside the manor, and the same thing happened at Gao Laozhuang. Moreover, the tunnels of the two manors are interconnected."
"Underground tunnel?" Yin Shuke's expression changed. "You mean, Zhang Shixun escaped to Gao Laozhuang through the underground tunnel and then escaped from there?"
"That must be the case!" Pharmacist Guo nodded repeatedly. "I believe that since Zhang Shixun was able to dig a tunnel all the way to Gao Laozhuang, then there's a good chance there's a secret exit outside the village."
"Is this what you Han people often say, a cunning rabbit has three burrows?"
"Well! This is called a cunning rabbit has three burrows."
Yin Shuke frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Pharmacist Guo, I'll give you two days to lead your men to dig up the tunnel between the two villages."
Pharmacist Guo had a bitter look on his face. "General, if we want to cut off the tunnel between the two villages, we have to dig a deep trench horizontally. That's not a big deal. The problem is that the weather is freezing cold now, and the ground is as hard as iron. Digging a deep trench is really..."
"Um?"
Yin Shuke snorted coldly, his face suddenly falling.
Pharmacist Guo shrank his neck and said, "Okay, I'll do my best."
"If you can't find the tunnel, bring your head to me."
"Yes, I'll take people to dig it right away."
Pharmacist Guo returned to his camp and immediately summoned all his subordinates. They braved the wind and snow to reach the area between the two villages.
"Listen up, everyone! Dig trenches one person deep from where I'm standing to both sides. Whoever finds the tunnel first will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver... No! A thousand taels of silver."
Pharmacist Guo took the risk.
As expected, when the snow was dug up, the ground underneath was frozen hard, and a pickaxe only left a white spot.
The key point is that there are only dozens of pickaxes, which are not enough.
Zhen Wuchen wiped the snow off his face and complained, "General, the ground is too frozen. Let alone digging a trench, even digging a toilet is not an easy task."
Pharmacist Guo smiled bitterly and said, "When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. I've spoken with you about the silver technique. If you can't find the tunnel, you'll chop off my head...Five ministers, we have to dig this trench."
Zhen Wuchen sighed, took the pickaxe from a soldier and started digging himself.
…
At noon on the third day, the Jin soldiers escorted nearly a thousand Song Dynasty people to the vicinity of Zhang Xiaozhuang.
Yin Shu could immediately send someone to Zhang Xiaozhuang to discuss the exchange.
The two sides agreed to exchange prisoners at a point within an arrow's reach southeast of Zhang Xiaozhuang.
The number of persons participating in the exchange on either side shall not exceed fifteen.
Zhang Shixun, accompanied by the Black and White Impermanence and ten soldiers of the National Protection Army, escorted Nianhan to take over.
Nianhan had his hands tied behind his back and was led forward by Hei Wuchang.
For several days, Nianhan was tortured badly by Wang Dong.
The torture methods are all taken from the experience of later generations. There is no beating or scolding, which is very unique.
Use a towel, soak it, cover the person's face with it, and then use a kettle to continuously pour water onto the towel.
Also, don't let him sleep.
During this time, he kept asking him, "Do you know your sin?"
Nianhan cursed loudly.
Wang Dong was not angry and continued with the next round.
I didn’t expect that Nianhan was so brave and just refused to give in.
Wang Dong smiled and asked someone to bring a bowl of medicine, which he forced Nianhan to drink. Then he stripped him of his clothes and locked him in a warm room.
He was also given a companion - a big fat pig.
After a few hours, Nianhan surrendered.
When he saw Wang Dong again, he kowtowed profusely and shouted to everyone he met: "I am guilty! My sins are grave!"
When Zhang Shixun asked Wang Dong what medicine he had given Nianhan, Wang Dong replied calmly, "Aphrodisiac."
Oh shit!
After hearing this, Zhang Shixun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Lao Wang, are you sure that if he drinks your medicine, he will catch the pig... that thing?"
"meeting!"
Zhang Shixun was skeptical.
When the group escorted Nianhan to the exchange location, Wanyan Yinshu also arrived.
No more, no less, he only brought fifteen personal soldiers.
Behind them was a sea of nearly a thousand people from the Song Dynasty.
Seeing that Nianhan was tied up with his hands behind his back and a piece of rag stuffed in his mouth, Yin Shu said to Zhang Shixun, "I have brought all the people you wanted. Hand Marshal Nianhan over to me."
Zhang Shixun shook his head. "I can only hand him over to you after all the people have entered Zhang Xiaozhuang... Lao Yin, we've been waiting for several days. There's no need to rush now, right?"
Yin Shuke looked at Nianhan carefully. Although he looked a little weak, his limbs seemed healthy and he seemed to be unharmed. He said, "Take the cloth out of his mouth first. I just want to ask him a few questions."
Zhang Shixun said, "The gag must not be removed. Your marshal has a foul mouth and curses people as soon as he opens his mouth. It's too unpleasant to listen to."
Yin Shuke was helpless and could only wave his hands to his subordinates, "Let them go!"
When the captured Song people came over, Zhang Shixun saw the women who were tortured beyond recognition by the Jin soldiers, and the anger in his heart burned like fire.
