Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 858 Killing someone with a borrowed knife

The military camp had already been trampled into a mess by the black-armored cavalry, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. The surviving soldiers could only drag their tired feet, dismantle some of the remaining tents, piece them together, and rebuild a simple camp 500 meters outside the military camp.

Sitting in front of the campfire in the camp, a soldier suddenly burst into tears. When people face death, the instinct for survival often overcomes fear. Only when they think back on it afterwards will they feel scared.

The cries and painful wails continued to echo in the night sky.

"Brother Qin, I'm afraid I'll never see you again."

After experiencing countless life and death moments, Ye Ling'er no longer suppressed her emotions. She threw herself into Qin Hao's arms and burst into tears. This seemingly strong and competitive girl took off all her disguises at this moment.

"It's okay, don't worry, I'll never let anything happen to you." Qin Hao gently held Ye Ling'er's trembling body in his arms and comforted her softly.

There was no conversation that night, and suddenly it was already dawn.

When the surviving soldiers woke up, they were so shocked by the scene before them that they were speechless.

Outside the military camp, there were countless corpses of black-armored cavalry scattered around, forming an irregular curve that stretched for nearly fifty steps.

Obviously, these black-armored cavalrymen did not die when attacking the camp gate; they all died at the hands of one person.

"Gulu."

The sound of swallowing saliva continued to be heard. Everyone was still frightened, but also glad that they were on Qin Hao's side.

Ye Pei led his men to drag back the bodies of the brothers You Zimo and You Ziyuan. Fortunately, You Ziyuan's body was still intact, but You Zimo was unlucky and died on the edge of the battlefield. Overnight, his body had been eaten by wolves beyond recognition. It was a pity that a generation of ninth-grade strong men ended up with such a miserable end.

"In other words, last night, General Qin fought three ninth-rank upper warriors alone, and not only escaped unscathed, but he also killed two and captured one alive?" Ye Pei suddenly reacted, secretly frightened by Qin Hao's terrifying fighting ability.

"Maybe, our Qing Kingdom will soon have a third Grandmaster?"

After Ye Pei brought the body back, he reported to Qin Hao.

"General, what should we do now?"

Qin Hao looked at the food and grass that had been burned, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Leave fifty people to guard it, and the rest will take the wounded and follow me back to Dingzhou!"

An hour later, Qin Hao, along with a group of wounded soldiers and the bodies of Yan Xiaoyi and You Zimo, set out on the journey back to Dingzhou.

Along the way, Yan Xiaoyi received special care, and the surviving soldiers vented their pain over the death of their comrades on Yan Xiaoyi.

The only ninth-rank archer of Qing Kingdom would never even look at these lowly soldiers in the eye in the past.

At this moment, he was beaten and humiliated at will by these soldiers, which undoubtedly rubbed his self-proclaimed dignity to the ground.

"Qin Hao, I want to see him! I want to see him!"

"Bah, who do you think you are? Or that high and mighty ninth-grade archery god? If it weren't for our General Qin's order, I would have skinned you alive with my own knives and thrown your flesh on the ground to feed the wolves!"

The soldier angrily stepped on Yan Xiaoyi's head, spat on his face, and cursed him with gritted teeth.

Yan Xiaoyi tried desperately to struggle, but all the joints in his body were broken by Qin Hao, and his true energy was also destroyed. The strength that he once was proud of was now not even as good as that of an ordinary soldier.

Just when Yan Xiaoyi was feeling ashamed and angry, Qin Hao walked over.

"Qin Hao, kill me, if you have the guts, kill me."

Qin Hao glanced at him with a cold face and said, "I thought you had thought it through, but it seems you are still stubborn."

"Take good care of him for me."

After saying that, Qin Hao raised his leg and was about to leave, and Yan Xiaoyi shouted desperately.

"Don't leave. What do you want? As long as you give me a quick death, I can give you anything!"

Qin Hao turned around and squatted in front of Yan Xiaoyi, sneering, "It's impossible to want to die, but we can make a deal. You tell me all the people involved in this matter, and I promise to give you the treatment you deserve as a prisoner before handing you over to the Inspection Institute. As for what will happen to you after you arrive at the Inspection Institute, that depends on your luck."

"How is it? Is this a good deal?"

If the anger in Yan Xiaoyi's eyes had temperature, it would be enough to burn Qin Hao to ashes. Unfortunately, he could only nod dejectedly in the end.

"Those involved in this are."

Qin Hao wrote down these names one by one, and then said to the soldier guarding Yan Xiaoyi: "According to convention, how does Qing treat Northern Qi prisoners? Do you know what to do?"

"I understand." The soldier sneered and looked at Yan Xiaoyi with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Mr. Qin, you go back on your word, you will not live happily ever after!"

Inside the Dingzhou camp, a large flag with black characters fluttered in the wind, with a huge word "Qin" written on it.

General Qin Ming was working at his desk checking military reports from various parts of Dingzhou when his eyelids suddenly twitched. At first he didn't think much of it, thinking that he was just overworked recently.

However, not long after, the guard suddenly came in and whispered in his ear.

When Qin Ming heard a name, his face suddenly changed.

"Okay, I got it. Let him wait for now."

After the guards left, Qin Ming slammed his fist on the table: "Useless, you can't even kill a young boy, and you still call yourself the ninth-grade archery god."

His face changed from gloomy to bright. Qin Ming pondered for a long time and called his personal guards over.

"Go and bring people in."

At first, Qin Ming also thought about taking advantage of the fact that Qin Hao was not good at transporting grain and grass, and killing him on the spot to eliminate future troubles, but if he did that, he would have no way out.

In Qin Ming's opinion, Qin Hao just luckily managed to save his life at the hands of Yan Xiaoyi and was unaware of the inside story. He could just pretend to be generous and exempt him from the charge of failing to transport grain and grass properly, and the other party should not suspect him.

However, when Qin Hao appeared in the central military tent carrying Yan Xiaoyi, who had been tortured beyond recognition, Qin Ming was completely dumbfounded.

"General, do you recognize this person?" Qin Hao threw Yan Xiaoyi directly under Qin Ming's desk.

Qin Ming thought he was seeing things at first, until Yan Xiaoyi raised his head, he was suddenly awakened.

"Commander Yan, how could you be like this? Who hurt you like this?" Qin Ming pretended to be surprised, stepped forward to help Yan Xiaoyi up, and at the same time kept winking at him, telling him not to talk nonsense.

Yan Xiaoyi showed a sarcastic smile on his face: "Qin Ming, don't have any illusions. This guy already knows about our cooperation. For now, you have to kill him to have a chance of survival."

Qin Ming couldn't help but curse Yan Xiaoyi's eight generations of ancestors in his heart. This guy actually betrayed him so easily.

However, Yan Xiaoyi's words also made Qin Ming feel conflicted. Just as Yan Xiaoyi said, once this matter was exposed, even his uncle Qin Ye would not be able to save him.

Qin Hao sneered, "So that's what you were thinking, using a knife to kill someone, but don't you think the knife you borrowed isn't sharp enough?"

"No, your real intention is to stir up trouble between me and the Qin family. Killing Qin Ming will naturally offend the Qin family. The Qin family is deeply rooted in the army. This is the only thing you can do for that crazy woman now, right?"

Yan Xiaoyi yelled at Qin Ming like a madman: "What are you still hesitating about? This kid is vindictive. You betrayed him, he won't let you go easily!"

Qin Ming's hand subconsciously reached for the hilt of the knife, and he was in a dilemma for a moment. He knew very well that Qin Hao was a ninth-grade warrior and he was no match for him at all. Judging from the fact that Qin Hao was able to capture Yan Xiaoyi, his strength should be far beyond that of an ordinary ninth-grade warrior.

The only way he could think of to stop Qin Hao was to kill the other party with piles of lives, but this was based on the premise that the other party did not run away. A ninth-grade warrior was intent on escaping, and without a master of the same level to hold him back, ordinary soldiers could not catch up at all.

Qin Hao looked at Qin Ming coldly, with a sneer on his face: "Why don't you draw your sword, General?"

Qin Ming's forehead was covered with cold sweat. "General Qin, don't be instigated by the traitor. I have never conspired with this person."

"Oh? Then why does this person know Qin's whereabouts so well and set an ambush on the road Qin must take to transport grain to Gaoyang?" Qin Hao did not completely believe what Yan Xiaoyi said.

Facing the pressure from a ninth-rank warrior, Qin Ming's hand holding the hilt of the knife kept shaking. He forced himself to suppress the fear in his heart, and then he opened his mouth to defend himself.

"This man has been in the border army for many years and has many friends and relatives. Perhaps he has an insider in the Dingzhou military camp."

"Qin Ming, you coward, kill him now, otherwise you will regret it!" Yan Xiaoyi struggled, raised his head and cursed.

Qin Ming slammed the table and said, "Come here, take this thief away and keep him under strict guard!"

Qin Hao did not stop him. Yan Xiaoyi's true energy had been destroyed by him, and he would never be able to practice martial arts again in his life. Now Qin Hao was using him to verify who was involved in this matter.

Seeing that the personal guards took Yan Xiaoyi away and Qin Hao did not say anything to stop them, Qin Ming couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"General Qin, there is no grudge between you and me. Do not listen to the instigation of that villain. I will report the reason to His Majesty and punish this villain severely."

Qin Hao smiled and bowed to Qin Ming: "Then I'll have to trouble the general to make the decision for me."

"General Qin, you are too polite. Now that you are under my command, we are my comrade and brother. This is as it should be." Qin Ming said and asked for some details.

When he learned that Yan Xiaoyi was leading five thousand black-armored cavalrymen to kill Qin Hao, he couldn't help but curse Yan Xiaoyi in his heart for being more of a hindrance than a help.

"Five thousand cavalrymen surrounded two thousand infantrymen, but they failed to defeat them. They are simply useless."

However, when Qin Hao mentioned that there were two other ninth-grade masters participating with Yan Xiaoyi, Qin Ming's inner anger turned into a dull look, and he even thought for a moment that he had heard it wrong.

"General Qin, you just said that the thief has two ninth-rank masters to support him?"

"General, don't you believe it?"

Qin Ming waved his hands repeatedly: "General Qin, please don't misunderstand. Ninth-rank warriors are already rare, and those who can reach above the ninth rank are even rarer in the world. I don't know what characteristics these two people have?"

"The General wants to know?"

"Since we are reporting to His Majesty, we should be more detailed."

Qin Hao said playfully: "In that case, please follow me, General."

Qin Ming followed Qin Hao to the Bingmasi's tent with a confused look on his face.

Qin Hao only brought 2,000 people to escort the grain this time, and the remaining 8,000 people stayed in the Dingzhou camp. When these 8,000 people saw the more than 100 wounded soldiers returning to the camp, they couldn't help but feel sad. The camp was surrounded by a thick atmosphere of sadness.

"General, the person is inside, please come in."

Qin Hao brought Qin Ming to the door of his tent.

Qin Ming was obviously stunned. He stood at the door and hesitated for a long time. He even thought that Qin Hao had ambushed people inside and wanted to harm him.

It was not until Qin Ming entered the tent and saw the two corpses, one tall and one short, that he could not help but exclaimed: "Two Netherworld Monsters? How could they..."

"General, do you recognize them?" Qin Hao asked with a sharp gaze.

Qin Ming quickly explained: "General Qin, please don't misunderstand. The two Netherworld monsters are notorious assassins. Countless masters from various countries have died at their hands. They are not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also erratic in their whereabouts. The Jinyiwei and the Inspection Bureau have lost many soldiers and generals in their attempts to capture them, but they didn't expect that they would die at the hands of General Qin today."

After saying that, Qin Ming looked at the corpses of the two Netherworld monsters, his face full of lingering fear. He didn't know how Qin Hao managed to defeat three enemies alone, but he was very clear that if he had listened to Yan Xiaoyi's slander and attacked Qin Hao, he would have been beheaded by now.

"Congratulations, General Qin. The Inspection Institute has issued a bounty. Anyone who kills the two Netherworld monsters will be promoted three ranks and rewarded with a thousand gold coins."

Qin Hao walked up to Qin Ming and said seriously, "The bounty can be regarded as a pension for the fallen soldiers. Qin has something else to trouble the general."

"General Qin, you can say whatever you want."

"General, please find out the truth about the origins of those black-armored cavalrymen to comfort the souls of the fallen soldiers in heaven."

"General Qin, rest assured. With such a large-scale deployment of troops in Dingzhou, we will definitely be able to find clues. Give me ten days and I will give you an explanation."

"Then it'll be hard work."

"General Qin, you are too kind. It is my job."

Not long after Qin Ming left, Ye Ling'er came out from behind the screen and asked suspiciously, "Brother Qin, do you really believe that he knows nothing about this?"

"Now that the war is approaching, Qin Ming leads an army of 200,000 in Dingzhou. Once he is killed, it will inevitably give Northern Qi an opportunity to take advantage of it. Moreover, Yan Xiaoyi's one-sided statement alone is not enough to convict him. Don't worry, the fox will always show its tail." Qin Hao sneered.

On the other side, when Qin Ming returned to the central military tent, he found that his back was already soaked with sweat.

"How did this guy do it? Even if he is a disciple of a grandmaster, it is impossible for him to fight three people at once? Could it be that Grandmaster Ye took action?"

The more Qin Ming thought about it, the more scared he became. They were grandmasters. Each of them was of a transcendent status and even the king of a country had to treat them as guests of honor.

"Damn it, this crazy woman, there are so many people she could mess with, but she had to mess with such a monster!"

Qin Ming felt a headache. The most important thing now was to get rid of Yan Xiaoyi. As long as he was killed, there would be no evidence. The princess would surely not make things difficult for him because of a useless person.

"Somebody come!"
