Uhtred's performance was terrible, which was not quite the same as the calm demeanor he showed at the beginning, which made Li Ling feel a lot more relieved. I thought that no matter how strange the power of these forerunners was, at least they had the same complex feelings as ordinary people

Brun sneered and threatened, "If my sister, Her Highness Ina, listens to you and doesn't put your mind on business, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear her anger." ”

"Don't, Your Highness Bren, it's me who is wrong, punish whatever you want, but don't tell Her Highness Ina." Uhtred could no longer care about his face, nor did he dare to slack off, and fell heavily on his knees in front of Brun.

As soon as he said "...... you", Bren saw Li Ling staring at him with a smile, and couldn't help but blush, and said hesitantly: "Did you think those bastard words just now, or did you hear them from?" ”

"Huh? Everybody...... It's me...... It's someone else......" Uhtred stammered, not knowing what to do.

"Alright, I got it!" Bren hastily interrupted Uhtred's words. "I'll spare you for the time being, if I hear someone chewing the root of my tongue again, I will definitely not let you go!"

Uhtred kowtowed, still not daring to get up.

Bren snorted coldly and turned to leave. I don't know why, she always felt that Li Ling was staring at herself, as if her every movement and every look would fall into his eyes

Li Ling smiled helplessly and followed behind Bren. As for Uhtred, who couldn't stand on his knees, Li Ling didn't hate him. But with the noble and beautiful princess in front of him, His Royal Highness the princess, he doesn't plan to deliberately make friends.

Everything just now was seen by everyone behind him, and they were all taken aback.

The supporters watched Li Ling follow Buren away, and they also unceremoniously walked around Uhtred and followed Li Ling's footsteps.

"Damn it!" It wasn't until Bren and Li Ling had gone far enough that Uhtred slammed his fist on the ground, thinking to himself that the tall image he had built up over the years had completely collapsed.

Pricking up his ears, he wanted to hear how those guys who usually liked to talk about him secretly would gloat about themselves, but unfortunately there was no cherry blossom and everyone stood quietly behind him, and he didn't dare to breathe.

……

After the farce just now, Uhtred was like a different person, and followed the group sullenly, only telling the guide in the group to follow Bren and lead her way.

And Li Ling followed behind Bren unhurriedly, making Bren feel like he was on his back.

"Li Ling, come here!" Buren beckoned to Li Ling.

"What's the matter? Your Highness. Li Ling asked unhurriedly.

"You might as well call me by my name. Also, I'm walking in front alone and it's boring, trying to find someone to join me. ”

"Oh." Li Ling nodded, and walked to Bren's side as he said.

Bren bit his lip, as if he had something to say, and swallowed it back quietly.

"What's wrong? Your Highness. Li Ling asked again.

"It's fine!" Bren shook his head.

"Oh." Li Ling didn't ask much, but he guessed from Brun's expression that Her Royal Highness the princess must have something unspeakable to tell him.

Sure enough, after a while, Brun and Li Ling distanced themselves from the people behind them, and Brun whispered: "Are you planning to give up currying favor with Uhtred and approach me because you have determined my identity?" ”

Li Ling didn't expect Bren to ask such a question that seemed to be incomparable, he smiled awkwardly, and said as a matter of course: "No." ”

"That's good, I didn't misread you!" Bren nodded with satisfaction. "I'll tell you the truth, in fact, my identity can only scare these leaders with a false tiger. I don't even have a single usable person under him."

Li Ling nodded, thinking that this was enough. He and the supporters behind him didn't need much, maybe a piece of land, maybe some supplies, maybe just a promise. They don't expect to be backed by some big power. All it takes is for the owner of this royal city to say a word softly, so that everyone can be satisfied with being able to gain a foothold in this world. Apparently, Bren and her mother, Mia, were such people.

Brun thought that Li Ling would show a disappointed look, but he didn't expect him to still look indifferent, and said, "Also, I am completely different from my eleven sisters. They all won the favor of my mother, Mia, and I was just a person who was not recognized, not delegated, and even ......," Bren was halfway through, remembering Mia's gentle and strange eyes, and continued, "and even someone who would eventually be executed by my mother." ”

Li Ling looked at Bren in surprise. This is not the first time she has expressed such concerns. He remembers that not long ago, when he and Bren first met, Bren compared himself to a moth stuck to a net, and also revealed to him his fear of his mother Mia. However, at that time, Li Ling completely regarded Brun's words as deliberately teasing himself, and even lost his temper with her. Especially when Bren compares the pioneer soldiers who died at the hands of Batman to pawns, his attitude towards her is even colder.

But now, Li Ling seemed to understand Buren's feelings. Born in this cruel world, she took the lives of ordinary soldiers lightly. But instinctively, she was filled with fear of death. Her character is entirely shaped by circumstances and identity. The only thing that is different is that she doesn't seem to have that weird ability, but more like an ordinary girl.

"What, you're scared, aren't you? It's a pity that you should have offended Uhtred, so you have to get on my thief ship!" Bren put on a sly face.

"Well, what are you going to do with me?" Li Ling sighed, he didn't know if it was for his companion or for Brun, he planned to follow this girl's advice.

"Quite simply, in order to keep a scoundrel like Uhtred from plotting against you, you have to be close enough to me. And I will respond to you moderately, so that no one will dare to hit your idea! As he spoke, Bren looked into the distance, wondering if his words would be heard by the man in black who was hiding in a hidden place, and told her mother instead.

"Acting on the spot? It's a bit difficult. Li Ling spread his hands and said. A beautiful girl like you and an outsider like me who suddenly appears will be surrounded by people everywhere you go. Inevitably, someone will find out something. ”

"Then make it realistic, at least so that my mother Mia can't see it. If necessary, you'd better deal with the situation with a little sincerity. In order to complete Mia's explanation, Bren followed the path of persuasion.

"Okay, I'll try." Li Ling shrugged.
