Chapter XXXVIII
"The rebel Ustu has been ambushed." Before he could announce it, a long hanging line slowly stretched out from the city wall, and a dead body hung under it, as if he had just come out of a pool of blood, and the bright red blood slowly slid down from his body, forming a pool of blood in the corresponding position outside the city gate, "Take a closer look at who this person is beside me!" Call your High Commander to me in this clearing by the wall. Before he could finish speaking, he walked down the city wall, not giving the northern aliens any chance to bargain, and the soldiers not far from the city looked ugly, because the person on the city wall was the princess who had helped them achieve victory before. She was dressed in a cerulean robe, adorned with pale white lilies, her hair as blue as the sea fell down like a waterfall to her waist, she was pale, her hands behind her back, and two soldiers with guns standing behind her.
What to do? What to do? Numa Sekka clenched his fists, not even a drop of blood sliding down his fingertips, his sister was captured by the enemy, who knows what they would ask? Seeing that victory is in sight but encountering such an embarrassing situation, anyone will feel angry, "Why at this time?" Numa Sekka said reluctantly, countless feasible methods flashed through his mind, and in an instant, he even wanted to order the siege of the city, wanted to crush the bastards, but no, her sister was still there, and the princess of the country was still there.
At present, there is only one way to go, Numa Sekka sighed, let the soldiers disperse, and went to the negotiation site alone, an old man dressed as a civil servant hurriedly ran over and stopped Numa Seka, "General, this trip is sinister, please think about it more!" As soon as he reached Numa Seka, he knelt down and grabbed his sleeves with both hands.
Numa Sekka didn't say anything, waved his hand and wanted to break free, but the old Wenchen was motionless in front of him, Numa Sekka was already upset, plus he made such a fuss, a nameless fire jumped straight up in his heart, and just when he wanted to step directly over him, the old Wenchen's words made him come back to his senses, "General, don't we still have an imperial emperor in our tent?" Maybe we can trade him for a princess! ”
At the critical moment, Numa Seka forgot about this person, although this person's strength was not as good as him, but relying on that strange emperor to fight with him for three hours, and finally was captured by exhaustion, he wanted to kill him to sacrifice the flag, but because of the sudden change in the battle situation, he forgot about it, and now that he thinks about it, he is still a little glad that he did not kill him hastily.
Numa Seka helped up the old man, the old man was not in very good health, and he knelt for a short time before he was a little exhausted, and he couldn't stand at all, Numa Seka tried his best to hide the excitement in his heart, and sent someone to take him to the rear army to rest, and asked someone to bring the captured imperial envoy over, the soldier just heard this, his face showed a frightened expression, and he dragged it out, and it took a long time before the man was lifted out of the cage of the rear army.
The two soldiers separated on both sides of Bai Ye and carried him in front of Numa Seka, Bai Ye was wearing tattered prison clothes, many places on his clothes were stained red with blood, some wounds were frostbitten, and he was wearing black iron chains between his feet, and he had long lost his meaning by hanging his head, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
Numa Seka's mood had just calmed down and he was uneasy again, the person in front of him was already half dead, and he didn't know if the Imperial side would make other unreasonable demands, "Who did this?" Didn't I decree that the prisoners should not be mistreated without my orders? Numa Seka said indifferently, and the soldier didn't know what to say, and his eyes wandered to the other soldiers.
"Forget it, I'll settle accounts with you when I get back." Numa Sekka asked someone to clear out a chariot, put Bai Ye on the back seat, and slowly walked towards the side of the city wall.
I don't know when, a tent has already been set up there, Numa Sekka subconsciously wants to go back, the injuries on his body have not healed yet, and a few ambushes can end his life in this kind of place, but thinking that his sister is still inside, Numa Sekka had to stop the chariot, picked up Bai Ye on the back seat and took a deep breath and walked in.
There was a table in the center of the tent, a few chairs, a set of chessboards on the table, and a stove next to it, with water boiling on it, and there was no one around.
Unable to help but say that he had not launched a fierce attack, Numa Seka hurriedly retreated with a cry of displeasure in his heart, only to find that the target was not him, but Bai Ye. How is the physically incapacitated Numa Seka an unrivaled opponent? Within a few rounds, Bai Ye was in the hands of Ji Wei, Numa Seka glared angrily, but there was nothing he could do, with the few fights just now, he found that even if he was in his heyday, he was not an opponent, and now his life was in his hands, hoping that he would not go back on his word.
He didn't hold Bai Ye and walked to the back of the tent, "Wait, where are you going?" My sister ...... What about that person? Numa Sekka said anxiously, his right hand behind his back, clutching a cylindrical cylinder that he had just pulled out of his coat pocket, a piece of artillery, and if anything happened to him here, the soldiers in the rear would immediately attack.
Without saying anything, he had just entered the back tent when another woman came out of it, and it was Xiruo, who seemed to be very relaxed, and saw Numa Sekka fall on top of him with a bear hug despite the etiquette.
"Brother, you're here to pick me up, it's so boring here! There's no one to talk to me......" Xiruo complained, pressing his head into Numa Seka's arms and arching around, Numa Seka was startled, but then a heart hanging in mid-air finally landed softly, and my sister was still as nervous as usual, at least she was not stimulated, Numa Seka suddenly realized something, and pulled Xiruo and walked outside, Xiruo was very puzzled, "Brother, what are you doing?!" It hurts, let it go...... but just after reaching the door of the tent, a transparent wall blocked their way.
"Sure enough." Numa Seka's expression was solemn, Xiruo broke free from him, stuck out his tongue and sat on the chair, Numa Seka knew that he probably couldn't leave, so he simply sat next to Xiruo, "Xiruo, can you tell me how you got caught here?" ”
"How did you get here?" Xiruo poked his fingers at his head, showing an expression of trying to think, and then showed an innocent smile, "Hehe, I can't remember." ”
"How so?" Numa Seka said secretly in his heart, it seems that all doubts can only be solved when they are not yet available.
Xi Ruo sat there for a few minutes and couldn't sit still, moved his bench and sat next to the stove to stare at the slowly boiling water, the white mist slowly rising, dispersing, and disappearing.
After a while, he walked out with a tired face, and he trotted to move a bench for him, why would his sister be so affectionate with this enemy?
"Xiruo, go in and look at that person, if he wakes up, call me at any time." Without reluctantly squeezing out a smile, Xiruo walked in obediently, and Numa Seka tried to stop her but couldn't open her mouth.
When Xiruo entered, Numa Seka darkened his face, "What the hell did you do to my sister!?" "Well, shouldn't we talk about this first......" "What the hell did you do to my sister?" Numa Seka's voice was a little louder.
"Sure enough, it's really a girl." He didn't whisper, "What can I do, I still think your sister is too noisy." Also, you think I called you here simply to exchange hostages? ”
Hearing this, Numa Sekka subconsciously shook the cannon in his hand, "Then what do you want to do?" ”
"Don't you think that the emperor ** is too much?" has not said a word that people don't understand, and the fox-like smile on his face is even more incomprehensible.
"Is it ......" Numa Seka lowered his voice and looked around warily, but did not continue.
"yes." He didn't stand up suddenly, startling Numa Seka, seeing his reaction, he was really speechless, this is the pride of the north? Why do you look more and more like a tease? Before he walked to the fire, he condensed a few cups in his hand, "Do you want tea?" ”
Numa Sekka didn't say anything, he didn't know where to bring a set of tea sets, and he brewed tea by himself, and after a while, the fragrance of tea filled the entire camp, and even Xiruo, who had been inside, ran out and asked for a cup of tea.
"How? I'm pretty good, right? He smiled casually, if he hadn't known that the person in front of him was from the Empire, Numa Sekka would have thought that this person was his good friend.
"There is no need for the ** empire to exist." While drinking tea, he said, "I want to destroy it, so I need your strength." ”
"And then? What are you going to do after destroying the empire? Enthroned God? Numa Sekka said.
"I've found something more interesting than power, so I'm not going to give it up for that meaningless power."
"Well, at least I feel like I can get along with you as a person." Numa Seka let out a long sigh, "So what are you going to do now?" ”
"I only want a very small number of people to survive, and the rest is at your disposal, and I will help you recover this city."
"And what else should I say? Happy to work with. ”
