Chapter 640: Detecting Maeve's Abnormality
Lin Lan City, since it was attacked by demonic beasts, the damage in the city has not been repaired, and from a distance, a large number of claw marks and broken walls are still ruthlessly left there.
The team led by Thea stopped a few miles away from the city gate, and everyone came out of the carriage together, looking at the silent Lin Lan City, Thea said to the commander: "Send someone to contact General Mo's team and ask them when they will attack Lin Lan City?"
As soon as Thea's order was given, the gate of Lin Lan City opened, and a horse galloped over.
"Meet the princess!" said the cavalryman as he approached Thea, turned over and dismounted, and got down on one knee.
"How's the situation in Lin Lan City?" asked Thea to the visitor.
"Back to the princess, the vanguard army has occupied Lin Lan City, and now General Mo Heng is sending people to search Lin Lan City, but the people of the Fran Empire seem to have fled. ”
"In that case, let's go into the city too!" commanded Thea.
When everyone heard this, they entered the city together, but as soon as they entered the city, Mo Heng brought someone to greet them.
"Your Royal Highness Princess!" Mo Heng saw the convoy entering the city, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, the convoy stopped, and Xiya and others came out of the car one after another, including Niu Tianfeng and others who rode horses.
"Mr. Niu, Mr. Xiao, I didn't expect you to come together. Mo Heng greeted with a smile.
Xiao Yu and Niu Tianfeng nodded in response, and Xiya said to Mo Heng: "General Mo, have you found the trace of Herris?"
"Not yet, according to what we know from the people in the city, the Flan people disappeared inexplicably the day after occupying Lin Lan City, and as for the specific movements, there is no news for the time being. Mo Heng replied.
Xiya Xiumei frowned slightly, and said, "This Count Herris led people to occupy Lin Lan City, but gave up on their own, what is their purpose?"
"According to my speculation, their purpose should only be the grain and grass that is about to be sent to the front line in Lin Lan City, because the front line is tight, and the grain and grass transported from all sides in the rear will be piled up in Lin Lan City, and those two days are exactly when the grain and grass in Lin Lan City are fully prepared to be transported to the front line, so I speculate that they are coming for the grain and grass in the city, and after we occupied Lin Lan City, we also went to the granary to see, and found that most of the grain and grass in the granary were taken away, and some of the ones that could not be taken away were also burned. Mo Heng speculated.
Thea nodded and said, "Maybe that's the case, but this group of people is wandering around the empire, which has a great impact on the stability of the rear of the empire, so it is better to send someone to clear it quickly, so as not to disrupt the battle on the front line." ”
"Yes!" Mo Heng responded.
Niu Tianfeng said: "Princess, I'm afraid that it won't be so easy to solve them, because Count Herris himself has a saint-level cultivation, and he is extremely cunning, plus a powerful holy beast, ordinary soldiers can't do anything at all, but if they only rely on the Sword Saint to chase and kill, it is difficult to find them who deliberately hide their figures." ”
"Then I don't know if Niu Lao has any suggestions?" asked Thea.
Niu Tianfeng said: "In my opinion, as long as we stick to the city and guard it with a master when transporting grain and grass, even if Heris wants to fight our grain and grass, it will not be so easy, and once he sends it to the door himself, it is likely that he will suffer heavy losses, so that it will not make much sense for him to stay in the hinterland of the Tobia Empire, and he will naturally return to the territory of the Fran Empire." ”
"Well, Niu Lao has some truth in what he said, it is indeed a good way to respond to all changes without moving, I will send a letter to my father and the emperor, and ask him to arrange two or three sword saints to secretly protect him when he sends a grain transportation team, so that when these Flans show up, they will be the ones who will suffer. Thea laughed.
Xiao Yu was silent, he could easily find the traces of Herres, but since Thea didn't ask him to help, he didn't need to do it, a war should have the appearance of a war, even if he intervened, there would still be a war in the future, and the empire could not be eternal.
After a brief discussion in front of the city gate, everyone entered the city lord's mansion of Lin Lan City under the leadership of Mo Heng, because Lin Lan City was attacked by demonic beasts, and was looted by Heris and others, and now Lin Lan City is like an empty city, except for the houses and buildings that cannot be moved, the others are either burned or smashed, which can be said to be extremely embarrassing.
Fortunately, before Xiya and the others came over, Mo Heng sent someone to clean up the City Lord's Mansion simply, otherwise, I am afraid that there would not even be a place to put his feet.
Arrange the room, everyone go back to the room to rest, after all, the long journey, and to guard against someone sneak attack, physical and mental fatigue, as for the departure to the Royal Beast Pass, it is scheduled to start tomorrow on the third watch.
Xiao Yu and Xiya kept warm in the room for a while, and Xiao Yu proposed his resignation to Xiya, after all, he had promised that Xianrou would set off tomorrow to find the bones of Long Heng, he didn't dare to break his word to Xianrou, otherwise, I don't know what kind of thing that powerful woman would do.
Moreover, before leaving, Xiao Yu still had to go to the imperial capital of Tobias, even if there was no need to help that old guy in Xilai, it would be good to gloat.
Of course, these things could have been done until tomorrow morning, but not long after arriving in Lin Lan City, Xiao Yu received a call from Lin Ling, it turned out that Lin Ling had already negotiated with the Kelai House, and Dunke's request was to rush to the American Empire on the same day after the cooperation was negotiated, and then put into the intense filming early the next morning.
Although it was a bit rushed in terms of time, it made Lin Ling feel that this was not a conspiracy, maybe Xiao Yu and Lin Ling were too worried.
It's just that Lin Ling had promised before that when he was going to the American Empire, he must tell Xiao Yu and let Xiao Yu accompany him to the American Empire, even if Dunke did not have malicious intentions, he had to be careful to take precautions, always just in case, after all, Xiao Yu did not dare to attack the Ji Mo Lu people now, and the world did not know how many people's lives were still in the hands of the Ji Mo Lu people
Therefore, after getting Lin Ling's call, Xiao Yu was going to return to Earth tonight and accompany Lin Ling to the American Empire, so after staying alone with Thea for a while and chatting, Xiao Yu left in a hurry.
Coincidentally, Xiao Yu had just left here, and Thea's door was knocked on, Thea got up and opened the door with doubts, but saw that it was Maeve standing outside the door.
"Miss Maeve, who are you?" Thea looked at Maeve standing in front of the door with some confusion.
Maeve smiled: "There were a lot of people before, I was embarrassed to say thank you to Brother Xiao, no, after everyone returned to the room, I came to find Brother Xiao and thanked him for saving his life before." ”
Thea suddenly said when she heard this, but she said helplessly: "Miss Maeve, didn't I say it before? You don't have to worry about that matter all the time, everyone is also a friend, and it is a little annoying to always say some words of thanks." ”
Maeve smiled: "Yes, what the princess said is true, but this matter has always been in my heart, if I can't thank Brother Xiao in person, I feel very uncomfortable." ”
"Well, I can't persuade you. Thea sighed and said, "It's just a pity that you're late again, and the husband just left." ”
Maeve frowned, with a slight suspicion in her eyes, even if this Xiao Yu came and went without a trace, she would not have left after only coming for a while! She looked at Xiya seriously, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that Xiya deliberately did not let herself see Xiao Yu.
"Princess, since that's the case, then I'll go first, I'm sorry to disturb you. Maeve took her leave.
Thea smiled: "It's okay, but I still have to remind you, don't always worry about this matter, I believe your husband can feel your gratitude." ”
"Hmm!" Maeve replied with a smile and turned to leave.
When Maeve is gone, Fluttershy comes out, looks in the direction Maeve is leaving, and says to Thea, "Princess, why does the maidservant think this Maeve has some bad intentions?"
Thea nodded and frowned, "I also think Maeve is a little weird." ”
Although both the master and servant noticed that Maeve was abnormal, they couldn't tell what was wrong with her, so they had to put this idea aside for the time being.
After Xiya thought about it, she went to Niu Tianfeng to discuss the matter of entering the Royal Beast Pass.
After Xiao Yu left from Lin Lan City, he came to the Imperial Capital Demon Martial Arts Academy and found Xilai, Xilai was still thinking about the robbery of the soul-binding demon spirit, and was pouring from all over his body, when he suddenly felt that there was someone beside him, and he raised his head violently, but it was Xiao Yu who appeared next to him.
Huh~ Xilai patted his chest, looking frightened, he didn't directly launch magic on Xiao Yu just now, otherwise he would suffer in Xiao Yu's hands.
