Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 301 Xianbei Prisoners
Sure enough, after he said this, Zhu Ye's originally embarrassed expression eased a little.

"Well, you have a point..."

He had just said half of his words when he suddenly stopped and gestured to the two of them to keep quiet.

Just when the two were wondering, he came up to them and whispered, "Listen carefully, it seems like there's someone talking somewhere."

The two were stunned when they heard this, but they still calmed down and listened carefully.

Sure enough, a series of intermittent sounds like people talking came from one direction.

Zhu Ye looked in that direction and found another cave entrance.

"Let's go and have a look!"

The three of them passed through the cave entrance again and came to a new cave. The sound was much louder, and it could be clearly confirmed that two people were talking, but the language seemed to be Xianbei.

"General, it seems to be in that cave over there."

A soldier whispered to Zhu Ye.

Zhu Ye nodded and waved to the two of them.

The three of them tiptoed to the side of a cave entrance. Zhu Ye stuck his head out and quietly looked towards the cave opposite.

The cave was big and tall, but unlike the previous caves, this cave had a very huge exit. Light shone in from the exit, making it look like it led directly to the outside world.

At the exit, there stood more than a dozen soldiers dressed in Xianbei costumes, each holding a weapon and with a serious look on their faces.

However, what caught Zhu Ye's attention most were the two wooden stakes standing in the cave, because on each of the stakes was tied a person, both wearing Xianbei clothing.

The voices were those of the two men shouting at the soldiers at the door, but those soldiers obviously ignored their intention.

When the two soldiers beside Zhu Ye saw this scene, their eyes flashed green light like wild wolves in the middle of the night.

"General, the Xianbei people, they are the Xianbei people! We finally found the Xianbei people!"

Zhu Ye slapped them on the head.

"Be gentle, don't alarm them."

He stuck his head out to take another look, then pulled the two soldiers away, passed through two cave entrances, and came to a cave they had passed before.

The two soldiers listened carefully and made sure that they could no longer hear the Xianbei people talking over there.

"General, the Xianbei people are hiding here. We can accomplish a great feat this time!"

"Yes, yes, let's go out immediately, find the lord's army, and report the situation to him!"

After hearing what they said, Zhu Ye was not happy at all. Instead, he slapped each of them on the head again.

"Perform merit, perform merit. This general thinks you are crazy because of poverty! We just saw a few Xianbei people and went back to report to Big Brother. If the Xianbei are not the main force here, but just a small force, or a tribe, then wouldn't we be lying about military intelligence? According to military discipline, this will be at least fifty military sticks. If the situation is serious, you may even be beheaded. This general doesn't have any children yet, and I don't want to die so early!"

When the two heard this, it seemed to be true, so they had to shrink their necks to avoid being beaten again. Zhu Ye’s big slap was no joke.

"Then what the general means is..."

Zhu Ye suddenly showed a sly smile.

When the two saw his smile, they couldn't help but shiver all over.

"It's over. The general must have come up with some tricks again. It looks like we're going to be in trouble this time."

Zhu Ye raised his hand again and slapped each of them.

"What do you mean by bad luck? With this general taking action, everything will be easy. Any bad thing will turn into a good thing. It is your blessing to follow me!"

The two dared not refute, and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it's a blessing!"

Zhu Ye was satisfied.

One soldier asked, "So what is the general going to do?"

Zhu Ye said: "Hey, if you want to know the situation of the Xianbei people in this area, of course it is most reliable to ask the Xianbei people to lead the way."

The two soldiers looked at each other, confused.

"But how can the Xianbei people lead the way for us?"

Zhu Ye looked at the two of them with an angry look on his face.

"You two guys are so stupid. When will you learn even one tenth of my wisdom? Think about it, those Xianbei soldiers are definitely not good people, so the two people they tied up and kept under strict surveillance are definitely not bad people. If we rescue those two people, they will definitely be grateful to us and will of course lead the way for us!"

The two soldiers were overjoyed.

"Oh, the general is really smart! Let's go out and kill those soldiers now!"

Just as the two were about to turn around, they were slapped in the face by Zhu Ye again.

"I just told you to be smart, why are you being stupid again! There are more than a dozen of them. Even though it's easy for us to deal with them, we can't stop them from shouting for help. Wouldn't that alert the enemy?"

"It seems so. What do you think we should do, General?" Zhu Ye smiled smugly.

"It's very simple. This cave is very rare. We can make use of it. Let's do this..."

In the big cave outside, the two people who were tied up and kept talking and cursing were probably tired, so they finally stopped talking and took a rest.

One of them shouted something to the soldiers.

The dozen or so soldiers in charge of the guard looked at them, took a water bag with an unwilling look, and fed the two men some water.

The two men had just finished drinking, and the guard was about to return to his post when suddenly a series of "ding-ling-dang" sounds came from deep in the cave.

The guards all leaned over to look, and the sound was very obvious, but when they looked through the cave entrance on this side, they could not see anything.

A dozen people discussed in Xianbei language, and finally pushed out two people, went through the cave entrance, walked deeper, and prepared to investigate.

The unknown is always frightening, especially in this deep and bottomless series of caves. Who knows if there will be any strange and ferocious beasts in the caves? After all, this is the Yinshan Mountains.

The two Xianbei guards, holding their weapons tightly, went through two caves in succession. The sound was very close, as if it was coming from the cave in front.

The two looked at each other, swallowed at the same time, mustered up their courage, bent down, stuck their heads out, and prepared to crawl through.

However, just as the first person's head reached the hole, suddenly, a gust of black wind flashed by.

Afterwards, the Xianbei guard behind saw a red and white substance suddenly splashing onto his face.

However, before he could do anything, he saw a huge black shadow rushing out of the cave. Then he was hit hard and knew nothing. He only let out a terrible cry.

The guards who stayed outside had many speculations about the unknown situation in the cave, some of which were frightening. When they heard this scream, which was not loud but still obvious, they were immediately frightened.

The two tied men seemed to have thought of something, and spoke to the guards in a gibberish in Xianbei language.

The guards didn't know whether they were ashamed or angry, but their faces turned red.

Finally, perhaps because they thought there was strength in numbers, these dozen people bravely crawled into the caves together.

The two tied people looked nervously towards the depths of the cave, and no one knew what they were expecting.

Soon, screams came from inside one after another. Although the screams were very soft when they reached here because of several caves, the two could still feel the horror inside the cave.

Now, the two men looked a little bitter.

Just now, it was the two of them who used coaxing, deception and provocation to trick the guards into coming in, but in the end, they all died. If the wild beasts in the depths of the cave ran out, wouldn't the two of them be in trouble?
Just as they were hesitating whether to shout loudly to ask people outside the cave to come in and protect them, suddenly, a head emerged from the cave.

The man looked at the two tied people, then looked at the big hole leading to the outside. As if he was sure that it was safe, he crawled in.

Following closely behind, two soldiers wearing the same armor also came over.

The three people were none other than Zhu Ye and his two companions. They came to the two of them and turned left and right.

"Hey, looking at the clothes of these two people, they seem to be considered nobles in the Xianbei tribe. Why did they tie up their own people? Interesting, yeah, quite interesting."

Zhu Ye held his chin, smiled and spoke softly.

A soldier said, "General, didn't they say that the Xianbei people were killing each other for the position of leader? I think these two guys might be some tribal nobles of one side, who were captured by the supporters of the other side and are going to be tortured."

"Yeah, that's right, that's a good explanation, I agree!"

Zhu Ye said happily, "Not bad, not bad. You two have learned to use your brains. Very good, very good. This general has actually seen it a long time ago, but he just didn't say it on purpose. He wanted to train you. Fortunately, you have passed the test. Otherwise, I would have deducted your lunch."

Upon hearing this, the two could only smile awkwardly.

However, just when Zhu Ye was feeling proud of himself, one of the two Xianbei people suddenly spoke.

"You...you are Han Chinese?"

These words shocked Zhu Ye and the other two.

Zhu Ye took a closer look at the person who was speaking, and asked in surprise, "What? You, a Xianbei, can speak the language of the Han people? You must be quite capable."

His words were equivalent to acknowledging the question asked by the Xianbei man, which made the other party show a look of joy.

"Great! Which army and generals of the Han Dynasty are you from? General Huangfu Song or General Liu He of Yanmen?"

Zhu Ye was even more surprised.

"Oh, I didn't realize that you, a Xianbei, know a lot. General Huangfu is now in Liangzhou, and we are the garrison of Yanmen. Liu He is the eldest brother of a certain family, and I am Zhu Ye, the governor of Shangjun. Who are you two?"

The Xianbei man who was speaking was surprised and delighted after listening to Zhu Ye's self-introduction.

"Sure enough, General Liu's army has arrived! We are saved, Qianman, you and I are finally saved!"

Qian Man on the side did not look as happy as him. He just glanced at Zhu Ye and the other three, then snorted.

"Tsk, there are only three of you, how can you save us? But my hands are sore, you three hurry up and untie me and let me go. Then I will not pursue your crime of annihilating the Yilan tribe for the time being. What are you looking at? Hurry up!"
