Act 202 [Friend or Foe] (Part I)
Xia Hui's words made Nantang fall into deep thought for a long time. In his mind, there were those past grievances between Yun Fan and the Su Guo clan, which emerged one after another here.
At this time, Nantang didn't know that the clan of the Shu Kingdom was planning a trap that would cause Yun Fan to die. In his opinion, since Xia Hui said so, he must have regarded Yun Fan as his own. This also means that the clan of the Shu Kingdom has reached a consensus with Yun Fan on the issue of the battle in Liuyun City.
"The next battle of Liuyun City is not an ordinary battle for either our dream country or the Mexican country. Presumably, the city lord of Nantang has long heard the rumors that our Suguo clan and I have always been at odds. To hide what the city lord thought, these speculations were actually true, but when it came to the rise and fall of the country, they were also very reluctant to temporarily put aside their hostility towards me. ”
Without waiting for Nantang to respond, Yun Fan preemptively cut off Nantang's thoughts. Yun Fan knew that the only thing that Nantang could use now was the contradiction between him and the Shuguo clan, Nantang wanted to instigate Yun Fan to leave Xia Hui as a bargaining chip as a hostage, and Nantang's careful thinking, Xia Hui and Yun Fan had already seen through it as soon as Nantang spoke.
Therefore, Xia Hui took the lead in telling Nantang that the clan of the Shu Kingdom temporarily reconciled with Yun Fan for the sake of righteousness. This makes Yun Fan need to think carefully about the consequences of doing something that is not in line with morality for the sake of wartime interests.
In Nantang's eyes, Xia Hui's value to him now is much higher than that of Yun Fan. Because Xia Hui has mastered the secrets of Liuyun City. Except for those secret passages that Nantang had heard of and couldn't find the entrance so far, it might be better if Xia Hui was in charge of the guards of Liuyun City.
Of course, this is just Nantang's idea.
A very perverse idea.
Although his idea is indeed feasible now, before he implements this idea, I am afraid that he will have to think very seriously about what the soldiers of the Mexican Kingdom in the city will think of him at this time. For example, the command of the Blood Feather Night Raven makes Han Zhao, and the command of the Purple Feather Night Raven makes Xuan Mo Wufeng.
Among those Mexicans who were slaughtered and captured by Yun Fan because of the previous change in Dianxing City, some of them were relatives of the Mexicans who were now stationed in Liuyun City, and some were comrades-in-arms of these people.
These people's hatred for Yun Fan and even the entire Shu Kingdom cannot be exhausted in a few words. Similarly, Xia Hui will not agree to defend this Liuyun City of Mexico for Nantang just because of interests.
In Nantang's eyes, Xia Hui is probably the person who knows Liuyun City the most at present. Whether it's the city's structure, its defenses, its history, or its shady places. Xia Hui knew too much about what Nantang didn't know.
And now the situation is obvious, Xia Hui can't tell Nantang about the secret of Liuyun City's secret passage, but the careful Nantang concluded that it is impossible for this female general who grew up in Liuyun City to just look at this historic ancient city and turn into ruins under the iron hooves of Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom and Tianwu Kingdom.
Therefore, Nantang plans to openly and honestly express her thoughts with this female general of the long-cherished country, hoping that she can play her due value.
"Young Master Yun has misunderstood, I just hope that everyone can reach a consensus on the issue of the next battle in Liuyun City. Nantang paused and continued, "Nantang is not interested in the family affairs of the country. However, as Young Master Yun said before, there are really not many people around Nantang who can be used, or trustworthy, at this moment. ”
Nantang's words made Xia Hui and Yun Fan frown.
Without waiting for Yun Fan to answer, Nantang continued: "To be honest, on some issues, Nantang can reach a consensus with the two of you, but it is difficult to form a consistent opinion with the two important generals of our Mexican country in the city at this moment. ”
Yun Fan interrupted: "These two important generals that the city lord is talking about are not General Han Zhao and Xuan Mo Wufeng?"
"I didn't expect that Young Master Yun Fan had just arrived here, and he would be able to know some things in Liuyun City in such detail. Nantang smiled awkwardly, "I really don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing." ”
"The city lord misunderstood, I didn't arrange a detailed work in the city, and the Liuyun City at this time is far stronger than the adults wanted. Yun Fan explained, "The reason why I mentioned the two generals, Han Zhao and Xuan Mo Wufeng, was mainly because I had fought against them before. What's more important is that among the generals of Mexico in Jibei, there seem to be only these two who can be called high-level generals. ”
"The 'Transformation of Star City' is a heavy blow to our country. When mentioning Dian Xing City, Nan Tang's eyes seemed to have a murderous undersurge, "General Han Zhao and Xuan Mo Wufeng should have fought against Young Master Yun Fan when Dian Xing City changed, right?"
"Yes. Yun Fan nodded, "The skills of the two generals were beyond my expectations at that time. If it weren't for Yun's luck, he might have died in the "Dian Star City Change" a long time ago. ”
Hearing this, Nantang couldn't help but sneer: "Young Master Yun, this is too modest. I didn't know how to proceed with this for a while. In my memory, Dian Xing City was easily taken by Young Master Yun Fan with two thousand bright light armor overnight. At that time, there were more than 10,000 white-feathered night crows stationed in the city, but in the end, the star city was broken, and these white-feathered night crows, Xuanmo Wufeng, and the city lord who was responsible for guarding the point star city at that time, all became prisoners of the young master of Yunfan. By the way, what was the name of the city lord of Dian Star City at that time?"
Yun Fan thought for a while and said, "The ink clothes are heavy. ”
Nantang sighed: "Yes, it's that waste." ”
After listening to Nantang's sigh, Yun Fan and Xia Hui were very surprised. The two of them didn't know if the Flowing Cloud City Lord in front of them was putting on a show with them, telling a joke very seriously, or trying to win their trust in some way.
Xia Hui felt a little embarrassed by this, so he turned his attention to the other furnishings in the study again, and continued to look for "the shadow of the past". And Yun Fan silently listened to Nantang continue. He wanted to see what the Flowing Cloud City Lord of the Ink Kingdom would say next, something that surprised him even more.
In the process, Yun Fan thought about whether this Liuyun City Lord was delaying time, but after thinking about it, this Liuyun City Lord could kill him and Xia Hui on the spot in an instant, there was no need to delay time, and the purpose of delaying time Yun Fan did not think of it. Therefore, this also made Yun Fan more interested in hearing what more interesting things the Flowing Cloud City Lord of the Mo Kingdom said.
Just after Nantang scolded the ink clothes and heavy teeth for being a waste, Nantang said: "The Dianxing City in the north of Jibei is the land of the five wars, and it has the reputation of "guarding a city and protecting one party" since ancient times. Although I still don't know how this inky heavy tooth gave up this city overnight, but presumably in the process, he didn't show the responsibility he should have as the city lord of Dian Star City. ”
When he said this, Nantang's words suddenly changed: "What I said is not wrong, right? What do you think about that?"
Yun Fan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then smiled awkwardly: "Actually, it's still too dark, so this city lord of the Dian Star City of the Mo Kingdom didn't understand the situation, and mistakenly thought that I brought twenty or thirty thousand people to attack, but after I broke through the city gate with the Mingguang armor, the heavy teeth of the ink clothes were directly messed up." ”
Then, Xuan Mo Wufeng took advantage of the chaos to kill him, took the position of the city lord, and gave orders. As a result, it finally caused the fall of Dian Star City, right?" Nan Tang asked Yun Fan coldly, this scene made Yun Fan not realize what was happening for a while.
Without waiting for Yun Fan to explain, Nantang urged again: "Isn't that so, Young Master Yun Fan?
After Nantang's urging, Yun Fan immediately realized that there was something in Nantang's words. But Yun Fan was not sure, so he answered Nantang truthfully: "Although I don't know where the city lord of Nantang heard these news, but the city lord of Dianxing City in your mouth, Moyi Heavy Tooth is indeed a waste, and his best ending is indeed killed by Xuanmo Wufeng, but Moyi Heavy Tooth did not die on the night of Dianxing City, but was taken back to Mingyue City by me as a prisoner. ”
Nantang: "It's right that Xuan Mo Wufeng killed it." ”
Yun Fan: "As early as when I captured General Xuanmo Wufeng and this ink-clothed heavy tooth and interrogated them, Xuanmo Wufeng moved his killing intent against the ink-clothed heavy tooth. ”
Nantang: "When Young Master Yunfan interrogated Xuan Mo Wufeng, who was a prisoner at the time, did Xuan Mo Wufeng tell some military secrets about our Mo country?"
Yun Fan: "General Xuanmo Wufeng is still a very decent person, but it is the waste in the mouth of the Nantang City Lord, that is, the heavy teeth in the ink clothes, and I was casually frightened by me and told the news of your Mo Kingdom about Liuyun City, Dianxing City and the later General Hanzhao will go to Jibei with the Blood Feather Night Raven to help. This also forced me to set the Star City on fire in order to block the aid of the Mexican Kingdom to Jibei. ”
After hearing this, Nantang smiled and said, "Young Master Yun's fire is really just right. If the fire in Star City hadn't been lit. Maybe we can't sit here now, chatting kindly about these topics that should make us sword each other. ”
Yun Fan smiled: "Luck, luck." ”
Nantang: "So, I hope that Young Master Yun can be tight-lipped about these topics and content we talked about today." ”
Yun Fan: "Except for the City Lord and General Xia, there will be no fourth person who knows." I hope the lord of the castle can rest assured. These things involve the face of the Mexican royal family, I understand. ”
Nantang sighed: "Although this Moyi Heavy Tooth is a waste, it is also the bloodline of the Moyi clan after all. Although the fall of Star City, he has an unshirkable responsibility. Not only that, but it was precisely because of his fault that General Han Zhao eventually ......"
Yun Fan smiled slightly: "However, then again, if there are no such things. How could Lord Nantang sit firmly in the current position of the Lord of Liuyun City? If there is no "Change in Star City", according to the military rank, the most qualified person to take over Liuyun City now should be this General Han Zhao, am I not wrong?"
Nantang: "That's right. ”
Yun Fan: "So I'm not enemies with the City Lord. ”
Nantang smiled slightly: "It won't be a friend either." ”
