Chapter 220: Negotiation, Cooperation

Meng Yi took Princess Yushu and walked in the mountains, and along the way, Meng Yi was silent, thinking about his own thoughts.

He felt like his memories were like pieces that couldn't be put together, he didn't know why this happened, he couldn't even remember how he ended up on the battlefield.

Protect the princess back to Xianyang?

A voice in his head told him that this was his mission.

And yet another voice is saying, it's none of your business!

He didn't know how this contradictory idea came about, he didn't know how to choose.

He wondered if he really wanted to recover his memory by killing someone, then should he do it?

Meng Yi only cared about walking, but he didn't know why, his hearing seemed to be very sensitive, such as the siege he encountered before, those soldiers were a mile away from him, and he could hear the footsteps of these people.

And now, he suddenly heard a "poof" movement behind him, and he immediately stopped and turned around.

It was Princess Yushu who fell.

What a hassle!

Meng Yi frowned, a little irritable in his heart, but immediately felt that he actually disliked His Majesty's concubine, which was simply a big rebellion.

Along the way, he always had this kind of contradictory entanglement.

He still chose to walk back and looked at Princess Yushu who was drenched in sweat and full of pain.

"I—I can't walk......" Princess Yushu whispered with a mist rising in her eyes.

Meng Yi sighed in his heart, it was so delicate, he had only walked less than twenty miles.

His gaze shifted, and he suddenly found that the princess's embroidered shoes were actually stained with blood, and his heart trembled slightly.

After a long silence, he had the idea of carrying the princess on his back, and then he thought that he could not touch His Majesty's woman.

He looked left and right and saw a stream on the other side of the forest.

"I'm going to get some water." Meng Yi spoke, and without waiting for the princess to reply, he turned his head and walked over there.

Through fragmentary memories, he learned that he had to pass through this mountainous area to see the Great Wall, and only when he got there did he not have to continue walking.

But this still requires at least a few dozen miles of mountain road.

Perhaps, we should find a horse from nearby.

But this princess is so delicate, can she ride a horse?

Even if the two of them ride together, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it, bumpy all the way, don't grind the princess's bald skin......

It's a big rebellion, it's a big rebellion......

Can't think so!

Gotta get a carriage.

But where did the carriage come from in this wilderness?

Meng Yi thought in a mess and arrived at the stream. He took off his helmet and asked the princess to clean the wounds on her feet.

But at this moment, his heart suddenly moved, his eyes were sharp, and he turned to look back.

I saw that seven feet away, the princess was still sitting in place.

But not far behind her, a white-fronted insect was quietly approaching her, less than three feet away from her!

Meng Yi was suddenly shocked in his heart, and he didn't want to turn around and rush back!

However, only halfway through, the big worm suddenly began to run.

As soon as Princess Yushu heard the movement, she turned around, and the big insect suddenly let out a roar, and its body rose into the air and pounced on Princess Yushu!

It's too late!

Meng Yi was anxious, and the airflow in his body began to run on its own again, he didn't think about it, he raised his helmet and smashed it over!

Phew-bang!

The helmet smashed straight into the big worm's head, causing it to deviate slightly from the direction, grazing Princess Yushu's left shoulder and flying over, falling to the ground, and immediately rolling and crawling up.

Without waiting for it to make any more moves, Meng Yi had already taken advantage of the short opportunity to reach the big insect, kicked his feet, and his body suddenly rose in the air and pounced on the big insect.

Mountain village.

Saito finally convinced the villagers that he and Fisher and the others were foreign envoys from Toei who had come to meet His Majesty the Emperor.

The villagers also panicked and immediately went to check on Fisher's injuries.

Fisher, though he looked very miserable, had some skin wounds, but they were not very serious, and after deliberation, the villagers decided to bring the "foreign mission" back to the village, and at the same time, they sent a man to the village to report to the pavilion chief.

Although they believed the "foreign mission" for the time being, the villagers sent more than twenty strong men to put the Inception team under house arrest, and they were locked in a courtyard, while Fisher was carried into the room by the villagers.

Andre watched some villagers keep coming in and out of the house with some herbs, and wondered, "Are they treating Fisher, is it witchcraft from the East?" ā€

"God bless poor Fisher," Ames gloated, "but thankfully the natives did not treat him with bugs and poisonous snakes. ā€

"This is Chinese medicine!" Saito looked back, "It has a history of thousands of years, and even now, 1.3 billion people in China still rely on Chinese medicine to treat diseases, this is not witchcraft!" ā€

After retorting, Saito said solemnly: "I can now be sure that this is ancient China more than 2,000 years ago!" The villagers just said 'the first emperor', in the history of China, only one great emperor was called the 'first emperor'! Now the question is, why are we here? Whose dream is this? ā€

Team Inception fell silent, and no one could answer the question.

"Maybe Fischer knows something." Ames said quietly.

"It's clear that Fisher, like us, is a victim." Arthur said, "Otherwise he wouldn't be so miserable." ā€

Cobb stood up suddenly: "I'll go talk to him." ā€

"You're going to confess to him?" Saito frowned, he would never want to do this, because it would mean that his company would be completely exposed to the behemoth of Tomorrow's Energy.

"No," Cobb looked at him, "we're in the same league as him, and if it's really a trap, maybe we're just suffering from it." I think we have a basis for cooperation with him. ā€

Saito's face softened slightly, and he nodded slightly: "That's right, he is now our 'prince'." ā€

After a pause, Saito said, "However, I'm going with you." ā€

He didn't worry about Cobb, in fact, he now regretted following Cobb into his dreams, and he underestimated the danger of entering the dream world.

Five minutes later, the two persuaded the villagers to meet Fisher, who was wrapped like a rice dumpling.

"Thank you for saving me." Fisher trembled violently, and he didn't know if it was pain or fright.

"The doctor said you're in great physical fitness," Cobb laughed, "and you'll recover quickly." ā€

"I hope so," Fisher muttered.

Cobb stared into Fisher's eyes and said, "I would venture to ask, who are you?" Why are you here? ā€

Fisher's mind was full of thoughts, since he recognized Cobb and the others before, he had been thinking about how to get along with these people.

He certainly wouldn't demolish them, but he had something to do in this dream.

He wanted to find Meng Yi, but the experience of narrowly rescuing just now told him that this world was dangerous, and if he fought alone, he would probably not even see Meng Yi's face, and he would die.

So, with the help of the power of these Dream Thieves, it was his only option.

But should you disclose your own purpose?

Finally, in the face of Cobb and Saito's subtle gaze, Fisher said slowly: "I am Robert Fisher, I was dragged into a dream, I am a Chinese man named Meng Yi, I don't know what he wants to do, maybe he wants to harm me, maybe it is for something else......"
