Chapter 42: Preparation

At the north gate of the imperial capital, a row of towering city walls stands there, and the stone bricks full of cracks bear witness to its age, like a giant standing between heaven and earth after the vicissitudes of life.

There is also a moat outside the city, five or six meters wide, usually the soldiers defending the city put down the drawbridge and let pedestrians walk, every day people come and go is very lively, no longer agreed with Bai Ye to meet in a place on the outskirts of the city, now he is pushing Anqi, who is in a wheelchair, slowly walking on the suspension bridge. Maybe it's an age, or maybe it's not well maintained, and it's always a bit unsettling on a wooden drawbridge, especially the creaking sound of a horse-drawn carriage passing by, but it's usually muffled by the noisy crowd.

Pushing Angel's wheelchair through the crowd like a stream, it is the rush hour here, it is much more crowded than usual and almost difficult to walk, but it is relatively simple for the future, just his silver-white aristocratic clothes can show his identity, pedestrians often avoid him, forming a vacuum around him.

After a while, he left the crowded crowd, the road became wider, the two people did not speak, the surroundings were quiet, the wheels of the wheelchair rolled on the ground and made a "grunt" sound, and then you had to go around the path, this section of the road was more bumpy, but fortunately, it was not very long, about two minutes later, I saw a carriage parked under a big tree in the distance, and a person was lying on the roof of the spurs, with a straw stalk in his mouth and a straw hat on his face, as if he was sleeping.

As they got closer, they could already hear the chirping of horses, and they seemed to become nervous at the sight of strangers coming. The man on the roof of the carriage lifted his straw hat, supported the roof of the carriage with one hand, jumped high, made a front somersault in the air and landed steadily in front of him, and made a gentleman-looking ceremonial gesture, which seemed a little out of place with the civilian clothes on his body, and looked very funny.

"I've grown a lot." He said with a smile, if Bai Ye had done these actions before, he would still have some difficulty, but now he has not found a trace of fault in his movements, and the whole process is very natural.

"Of course." Bai Ye said proudly, leaned over and touched Anqi's head affectionately, "Sister, I haven't seen my brother for half a year, do you want me?" An Qi nodded obediently, stretched out her hand to grab Bai Ye's hand touching her head, and said with a somewhat unhappy face, "Don't touch my head, you won't grow tall!" ”

"What, that's how you treated your brother after not seeing each other for half a year? I said no, did you say bad things about me in front of my sister again during my absence for half a year? Bai Ye was taken aback by An Qi's move, and took a few steps back, first looking very hurt, holding his heart with his hand and looking very haggard, and then pointing the finger at Ji Wei, with a resentful expression on his face.

The reunion after a long absence, the three of them frolicked and laughed and scolded for a while, "Hey! You're not done yet! A head suddenly poked out of the carriage, dark blue long hair with a white scarf, a unique ornament of the northern alien people, and a light makeup on her face, which added a bit of elegance to her, and it was this sentence that destroyed her image, as if she was a crazy girl next door, she was the princess of the northern alien nation, she looked around, as if she was very nervous, but there seemed to be some excitement in it.

Bai Ye came out of the round and said in a very strange tone, "My princess, I told you a long time ago not to come with me, if your identity is known by the empire, you must not send heavy troops to round us up!" ”

"So hurry up!" "I'll go to bed first, if I'm still here before I wake up......," said impatiently. Just wait to die! ”

The first time I saw Xi Ruo, it was in the tent where he had not met Numa Seka at that time, when he had just woken up from a coma, but found that there was a girl sitting with his back to him at the head of the bed, and he didn't know what was going on, he didn't dare to act rashly, so he still pretended to be unconscious, this girl was Xi Ruo, she suddenly turned her head, as if she found that Bai Ye had woken up, and startled him, but this is not the case, Xi Ruo has been staring at him, Bai Ye opened his eyes slightly and saw Xi Ruo looking at him in a daze, almost blushing. Originally, he thought that this girl was very cute, but immediately he realized that he was wrong, and Xi Ruo laughed, as if he thought of something, but Bai Ye felt deep malice from her smile.

A silver-white long needle appeared in Xi Ruo's hand, dangling in front of Bai Ye, looking at the long needle close at hand, Bai Ye was very scared in his heart but still didn't dare to move, just like that......

Later, when I came to Numa Seka's experience, I found that only in front of everyone, especially in front of Numa Seka, Xi Ruo behaved like a princess, but when there was no one, she was completely a crazy girl! My mind is full of bad water.

Bai Ye made a very helpless movement, turned his head and was about to say something to him, but found that he had disappeared in place, leaving only a burden and Angel in a wheelchair. There was no way, there were still a lot of things I wanted to ask, but now it seems that it is estimated that it is no fun, Bai Ye directly picked up An Qi from the wheelchair and picked up the baggage, "Sister, can you tell my brother why I want you to come to me so suddenly?" Returning to the carriage and gently placing An Qi on the seat, Bai Ye sat opposite her and said solemnly.

"I don't know very well, but it seems that it is because of some tasks that must be completed by the superiors, and it seems to be very dangerous." Angel said with a sad look on her face, she had only gotten the news from the side-knocking.

Hearing that there was only this, Bai Ye was very worried in his heart, but at the same time he felt guilty that he couldn't help him, "Forget it, don't talk about this, how are you feeling lately?" Are you feeling better? Compared with others, Bai Ye is still more concerned about his sister's physical condition.

"Don't worry, my brother has already treated me almost. Although my vision has not recovered, I feel much better than before. ”

"But...... Will it affect your body if you stop treatment? ”

"I won't stop the treatment, my brother said that he has prepared some of the drugs for my later treatment, just in case he also specially taught me how to treat myself, so there should be no problem."

The heart hanging in his throat finally jumped back, Bai Ye opened the burden that had not been left, a special fragrance of herbs came to his nose, and an envelope fell from it, Bai Ye flashed a trace of doubt in his heart, but it disappeared immediately, probably some precautions that he had not told An Qi about her condition.

Opening the envelope, Bai Ye looked at the unwritten letter quietly, and the content was like this:

Yo, Bai Ye, when you read this letter, I was probably already on the way to the mission, first of all, I'm sorry, I couldn't keep my promise to cure Angel by myself, but after a few days of observation, I found that Angel should be able to cope with her illness by herself, but ...... I can't say I'm sorry to Angel, so please pass it on to me.

Actually, I'm a very easy person to change, remember when you promised me to destroy the empire with me? Yes, that was my initial goal, but then, I was invited to change the empire with me, and to be honest, I was really tempted at the time, and I did. I've been helping and being ordered by him, and I thought that my goal would not be shaken again, but I was wrong, I lost my goal so easily, so erratic, was it a little too much? For a number of reasons, my goals have been wavering.

This letter may be the last time I will contact you, so I have to tell you something......

Throwing the letter and envelope into the furnace next to him, although the letter has not said that the information may be a little inaccurate, but the credibility is still very high, if this is the case, then it will not be long before the empire, and even the entire region, will be in chaos.

"Anqi, sit down, we're going to leave soon."

Putting on a straw hat, Bai Ye buried his face in the shadows, all this was like a dream that he couldn't digest a little.

The outskirts of the imperial capital.

After sending Anqi away, he immediately returned to Najeta's troops, the army was about to go to the southwest of the empire to sweep away the mountain bandits, and he still had a lot of work to do before that, because Najeta trusted him very much, so he handed over half of the affairs of the army to Ma Wei, although it was very tiring, but Najeta could do it alone before, why couldn't he do it himself?

"What? Are these documents still not finished? In a large tent, Najeta came in with a large suitcase in her hand, and when she saw a hill on the table, she deliberately struck him and said, "I used to be able to do all this work by myself for a short time, do you want to admit that I am inefficient or yours is inefficient?" ”

"Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back." He was not angry enough to say, "How long have I been promoted to adjutant, and you let me do so much work......" was full of complaints, and the writing voice of "brush, brush, brush" was heard very clearly.

"Actually, you don't have to be so serious, this time with the exception, I give you permission not to finish on time." A cup of coffee was delivered to him, and Najeta sat on the side and wiped the pumpkin carefully, such a large firearm was indeed very difficult to maintain.

Sure enough? It seems that the long-cherished information is right, Najeta, who has always been the most rigorous, would allow her subordinates to neglect their work? It seems that she is determined to defect from the Empire. I didn't think about it silently from the bottom of my heart, and it seemed that this was inevitable.

Najeta just threw the pen out of her hand as soon as she spoke, picked up the coffee and enjoyed it slowly, the coffee entrance was a little bitter, but she took a sip and tasted it carefully, it seemed that she could find a trace of sweetness from it, although she didn't know about coffee, but she could still taste the rich flavor of this coffee, and she didn't take a long breath, "It's very good coffee, and it was given by the businessman's kid." ”

Speaking of this person, although I don't know his name, I have seen him a few times, he is not very old, he has short green hair, he usually likes to wear a goggles on his forehead, and I heard that his family seems to be very rich, and he himself is also very talented in business, but he fell in love with Najeta, although Najeta is very good-looking, with a silver braid combed to the back of his head, but the key is that the age difference between the two of them is indeed a bit big, which makes him no longer doubt the eyes of this kid, tsk......

Although Najeta has rejected him very clearly, but this kid follows the devil is to give Najeta gifts all day long, people insist on giving them, Najeta has no way, I heard others say that this situation has happened before, there is a noble child who fell in love with Najeta and wanted to propose to others, and the rejection is all kinds of dead skin shamelessly pestering Najeta, and then there was a time when Najeta couldn't help but beat people fat, But now why Najeta didn't beat this kid left a lot of room for imagination.

"You really can't open any pot." Najeta said sullenly, "I'm tired of a day like a fly." "That last time ......"

After chatting with Najeta for a while, the rest of the work was not done, it was time to leave, looking at the soldiers who were ready to go, he didn't take a deep breath, "Najeta, no matter what, I will be on your side." ”

"Oh? Then stand behind me. Najeta smiled, got rid of an old fox, carried the pumpkin behind her, and said proudly, "Go!" ”

At this time, it really feels like Najeta is a big brother she can rely on, as if everything will be solved as long as she stands behind her, which is why she is no longer willing to turn her back on her long-cherished expectations and choose to help Najeta.
