The woman followed Senas and Tatar into a wooded area.

"Hey, if you have anything to say, just ask, there is no one in these four times, where do you want to go?" The woman suddenly stopped, hugged her shoulders and said.

Hearing this, Xenas stopped, turned around and smiled: "Beauty, your suspicion is too serious, I really don't have to bother you so much, right?" But since you're impatient, I'm not going to go around in circles anymore. Who are you? You are not a caravan, you are the Palci army! What is the purpose of disguised as a caravan and entering the control of the Tyresian rebels? ”

As soon as these words came out, not only the woman was taken aback, but even Tatar was startled: to be honest, he did not see any flaws in the caravan, and judging from the woman's reaction, Senas had guessed correctly.

The second half of Xenas's sentence was completely interrogated, as if he had sent troops because he had known about Palci's conspiracy, and he could conceal his intention to attack Port Portsmo, so that even if he let go of this Palcian army, it would not hurt to expose himself and not offend the principality of Palci. Tatar couldn't help but admire the wisdom of the drunkard.

The woman was obviously shocked, and hesitated for a moment before she spoke: "Where did you see that we are not from the Palchi caravan?" ”

"You don't need to look at it at all, with my experience in the army for so many years, you only need to smell it with your nose to know that you are a regular army. And I know that you are not only a regular army, but also an elite army. If you don't bother, I can pick out the officers for you one by one, do you want to try it? Xenas raised an eyebrow, the confidence on his face was definitely not pretended.

The woman sighed: "No, you guessed it right, we are the regular army of Palci. ”

"Now that you've admitted it, answer my other two questions."

The woman said lightly: "My name is Arina, the head of the family of the Count of Lorraine in the Duchy of Palci. I can't tell you what we're trying to do, but I can tell you that it won't be detrimental to the Tyrean rebels. ”

Xenas sneered, "I'm sorry, Miss Count. It is our side that has the upper hand in the current position, so I must insist that you tell you what your purpose is before I can decide on your punishment. ”

"Don't dream, I won't tell you." Alina's eyes widened in anger and she struck an uncompromising gesture.

Unfortunately, her angry gaze hit Xenas's hard, thick skin before it didn't work for a half. Xenas shrugged indifferently and said, "If Miss Count's refusal, then there is no way." I will then be obliged to restrict your liberty until we have a satisfactory answer, and since the goods in your carriage are of no value, I think Mademoiselle Countess will not mind that I take them for herself. A group of regular troops disguised as caravans, hauling eighty wagons of worthless goods, and I think I can find out your purpose by these goods alone. ”

"You, bastard." Alina hated it.

"By the way, during the imprisonment of Mademoiselle Countess's men, out of respect for Mademoiselle Count, I was able to ask Mademoiselle Earl to share my personal tent. To be honest, a pungent personality like Miss Count's is particularly appealing to me, and I don't mind fighting Miss Count again in areas other than the battlefield. Is Miss Earl looking forward to this? ”

Alina was flushed with anger and trembling all over. Xenas watched her reaction with interest.

On the one hand, Tatar on the side of the situation found it amusing, and on the other hand, he also felt that Cernas's joke was a bit excessive, so that regardless of the relationship with the Duchy of Palci, the personal feud with the countess alone would be troublesome enough. At that moment, Tatar cleared his throat and said, "Miss Count, please don't take it to heart, of course Lord Senas is joking. But if you don't say what you want, you will cause unnecessary distress for both of us. If, as you say, your army's actions will not be detrimental to our army, we guarantee that we will not act against your army. In order to save time for both parties, please let us know the purpose of this trip. ”

Tatar's words softened Arina's face, and she spat at Senas fiercely, "As the main general, it is better to speak as a lieutenant!" It seems that your personnel appointments are very problematic! Well, the purpose of our trip was to seize the port of Portsmo. ”

"What!" Senas and Tatar shouted at the same time. This result was indeed unexpected by the two of them.

Tatar said, "Aren't you Palchi a vassal of Yaqui? Aren't you afraid that the country of Aki will raise an army against you when you seize the port of Portsmo? ”

Alina shrugged and said, "We are indeed Yaki's vassals, but it is not that we want to become vassals, the entire Dils Mountains were taken from us by Yaqui. In the original treaty with Yaqui, Yaki had to guarantee that Palci caravans could freely enter and trade in the port of Portsmo and not collect any customs duties. And now that the road to Potsmo has been occupied by your Tyrsian army, it means that the country of Yaki is no longer able to fulfill this contract. That's why our king decided to appoint me in the form of a caravan to capture Port Portsmo. ”

Xenas put away his playful expression and said, "The reason why I appointed you is because you are a woman, and you can lower Pu Cimo's vigilance. And if you disguise yourself as a caravan, even if there is a mistake, your king can push it all away, so that you don't give Aki a mouthful. It's a good idea, but what's the use of you taking Port Portsmo? The trade routes are still under our control, and your trade routes are still impassable. ”

Alina showed a look of surprise and said, "It seems that you are not useless as a general, your brain turns quite fast." You're right, our seizure of Port Portsmo has no practical effect, it is just to increase the bargaining chips with you. ”

"Negotiations?" Tatar frowned in confusion.

Xenas took over and said, "You want to use the ownership of Port Portsmo to exchange the right of way for trade with us, as well as the right to tax exemption, right?" ”

"Yes, it seems that you big man is indeed a person who understands. We in Palci don't care who controls the Tiers Mountains, what we need is a trade route that allows us to communicate with the outside world, and if one day you are destroyed by Yaki, we will continue to work with Yaki. That's it. For the first time, Alina smiled strangely, and it surprised Tatar - the woman smiled many times more charmingly than usual, and there was a sense of seduction. Although Tatar is not a ** person, he has to admit that the moment he saw Arina's smile, his heart trembled.

Cernas couldn't help but show a squinting look: "Miss Count, your smile is really intoxicating. Since you are bound to negotiate with us after the seizure of Port Portsmo, it is better to negotiate now, and if the negotiations are successful, I don't mind reaching out to help you, what do you think, charming Countess? ”

Tatar forced a smile on his side, and now he finally understood why Li Tianhao had sent Xenas on this mission. In addition to Wu Yong, this person also has extraordinary acumen, and no matter how greedy this person is, he will not be confused by the color of wine. Now he was apparently preparing to turn his mission into a friendly gesture towards Palci, which would obviously be extremely advantageous to the Tyresian rebels diplomatically. Letting such a person drink and gamble all day long with nothing to do is simply a waste of resources.
