That night, at the third watch, Zhang Xingzhou appeared in Xining City again, accompanied by his best brother Zhang Dahan.

Both of them were Xining garrison generals and knew the terrain of Xining City well. In addition, Zhang Xingzhou had been here twice, so they found the prisoner of war camp without much effort.

Zhang Xingzhou took out a short knife from his arms and held it in his hand. He whispered to Zhang Dahan: "I'll go find someone first. You can check around the camp. If there is any situation, remember to notify me via code."

"Okay, brother, you have to be careful."

Zhang Dahan responded, and the cat waist disappeared into the night, while Zhang Xingzhou went straight towards the camp.

It was pitch dark in the camp, and everyone had fallen asleep. His tall figure was like a ghost, moving flexibly between the tents without making any sound.

The prisoners of war were treated very badly. There were no blankets or bedding. Everyone slept on haystacks, and dozens of people were crowded into a tent.

Zhang Xingzhou walked into a tent and used his memory to feel in the dark towards where the comrade he had contacted earlier was sleeping. He had to be careful not to step on others, and he also had to step as lightly as possible to avoid making too much noise from the hay under his feet. sound.

When he reached a similar place, he stopped, took out a fire stick and blew it to confirm the specific location of his comrades. However, the moment the fire light came on, the prisoners of war who were sleeping soundly on the haystack suddenly jumped up from the ground at the same time. Get up and surround him.

Zhang Xingzhou was shocked. With the light of Huozhezi, he finally discovered that these prisoners of war were disguised as Xirong soldiers, and his comrades had already disappeared.

After a brief moment of surprise, Zhang Xingzhou quickly extinguished the fire, unsheathed the short knife in his hand, and silently rushed to the tent door.

Unfortunately, before he could rush out, a large group of soldiers swarmed outside the tent, and the torches in their hands illuminated the entire tent as bright as day.

In the dancing firelight, the tall and fierce-looking Second Prince of Xirong walked in with a sinister smile on his face as if he had succeeded in his conspiracy.

"Zhang Xingzhou, right?" he asked in half-baked Chinese.

Zhang Xingzhou held the short knife across his chest and looked at him eagerly: "How did you know it was me?"

"I have to ask your good brother." The second prince waved his hand, and two Xirong soldiers escorted the informant comrade in.

"Captain Zhang, I can't help you..." As soon as the colleague saw him, he looked ashamed and fell to his knees with a plop.

Zhang Xingzhou's expression changed and he immediately understood what was going on.

"I came to rescue you with good intentions, but you f*cking betrayed me!"

"It's my fault. I can't help you, but I really don't want to die!" The colleague knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to him. Blood soon started to appear on his forehead.

Zhang Xingzhou gritted his teeth and spat at him fiercely: "It's because of you greedy rats like you that Xining fell into the hands of the Xirong dogs. I, Zhang Xingzhou, am so blind that I mistook you for my brothers. If I had known this, , you should be allowed to be used as a target by Xirong dogs, and you should be pierced by thousands of arrows and die!"

His colleagues bowed their heads in shame at his angry scolding, but the second prince looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "They say that others are greedy for life and afraid of death. Now that you have fallen into my hands, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

"Kill if you want. If I frown, I won't call you Zhang Xingzhou!"

"Okay, you're not afraid of death. You have the backbone, so are you afraid of his death?"

The second prince sneered and waved his hand, and soon two soldiers escorted in a big man with a bruised nose and swollen face, covered in blood.

"Dahan!" Zhang Xingzhou changed his expression again and rushed towards him.

"Stop!" The second prince suddenly pulled out his sword and placed it on Zhang Dahan's neck. "If you dare to take a step forward again, I will make your good brother's blood splatter on the spot!"

Zhang Xingzhou stopped abruptly and looked at him with blazing eyes: "It was my idea to save people. Let my brother go and I will let you do whatever you want."

"Throw your knife over first." The second prince said.

Zhang Xingzhou gritted his teeth and stood there without moving.

The second prince exerted force on his hand, and the sharp blade cut open Zhang Dahan's neck.

Blood flowed out instantly, and Zhang Dahan groaned and woke up from his coma.

The first time he saw Zhang Xingzhou, before he could figure out the situation, he shouted in a hissing voice: "Brother, leave quickly!"

Zhang Xingzhou said nothing and threw the knife in his hand with red eyes.

Immediately a soldier came forward and took the knife away.

The second prince laughed proudly: "General Zhang is indeed very loyal. I admire him very much."

Zhang Xingzhou refused to answer his words and reiterated: "Let my brother go, I will let you do whatever you want."

The second prince ignored him and signaled to his men to tie him up.

Two soldiers came over with ropes. Zhang Xingzhou was worried about Zhang Dahan's life and did not dare to resist, so he could only let them tie him up.

The second prince was completely relieved and waved the soldiers out of the tent, leaving only a few followers and the Zhang Xingzhou brothers.

He personally brought three chairs and tied Zhang Xingzhou and Zhang Dahan to one chair respectively, leaving the other for the second prince to sit on.

The second prince sat down across from the two men and said to Zhang Xingzhou: "They said that you are a tough guy and torture would be of no use to you, so I had to start with your good brother."

He waved his hand, and one of his followers walked up to Zhang Dahan holding a sharp knife.

The second prince said: "This is the beef knife that our Xirong cooks love to use. Whatever I ask you, you answer. If you answer any question incorrectly, your brother will be cut off a piece of meat."

He turned his head and looked at the sky outside: "There are still two hours before dawn. If you refuse to cooperate, your brother will be reduced to a skeleton under your eyes before dawn."

Zhang Xingzhou was furious and yelled at him: "You bastard, a Xirong dog thief, if you have the ability, come on me, what kind of man do you think you are if you do these despicable tricks?"

The second prince frowned in displeasure and gave the order to the attendant: "Cut from the thigh first. There is a lot of flesh on the leg, so the death will be slow."

"Yes." He followed the order, bent down and raised the knife, and the sharp knife instantly cut open Zhang Dahan's pants.

As Zhang Dahan screamed in agony, a bloody piece of leg meat was cut off.

"Dahan!"

Zhang Xingzhou's eyes were splitting, and he struggled desperately on the chair, but in vain.

Zhang Dahan twitched in pain, large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and all the color drained from his unshaven face. Even though he gritted his teeth, he still couldn't help but groan.

"How about it? Do you want another piece?" the second prince asked with a smile.

Zhang Xingzhou gritted his teeth and finally compromised: "Let my brother go. I'll tell you whatever you want to know."

"No, brother, we can't tell him." Zhang Dahan reluctantly stopped him, "Our brother will die if he dies. We can't harm General Xiao anymore."

"You are loyal. In that case, I will help you." The second prince became more and more interested and raised his hand to the attendant.

He raised the knife casually, and another piece of bloody flesh was cut off.

Zhang Dahan cried out in pain again, his huge body trembling uncontrollably, his head tilted, and he fainted from the pain.

Blood trickled down, staining the hay on the ground red.

"Let him go, let him go, I say, I say everything..." Zhang Xingzhou struggled and shouted, the blood vessels in his forehead almost bursting from the force.

The second prince smiled and motioned for his followers to retreat: "Okay, now tell me who General Xiao is and what your plan is?"
