Chapter 231: I'm going to war
Hongcheng has been in the spotlight for ten days now.
The news from Migan, who was ambushed in the city, that the supreme commander guarding the rainbow city was one of the ten sons of Cuo Ling, Tayila. This man was brutal, and in order to kidnap the whole city for his own back, he took all the women of the city into the palace and used it to threaten the male inhabitants into battle. These men, who have been detained with wives, mothers, and daughters, have no choice but to charge for him regardless of morality and bottom line. If someone dares to fornicate with the enemy army or does not contribute to the work, their family members in the palace will be treated inhumanely.
Therefore, the defenders of Hongcheng were red-eyed and desperately confronted the coalition forces, and behind the appearance of biting their lips and crushing their teeth, there were broken families and women who had suffered a lot. Fight, you may die, or you may survive; If you don't fight, your family will definitely die.
"Grand Duke, Queen Cathy is here."
It was Tuda who was informed, and there was only one in the entire army who could be crowned the queen, and Zhou Yu gave her the privilege of entering and leaving her bedroom at any time, without greeting or waiting.
"I brought two people!"
As soon as she stepped through the door, Cathy couldn't help but pat Zhou Yu's shoulder with joy, and seeing her expression, it was obvious that there was important and good news. Zhou Yu has always felt ashamed of this heir of the Wind King, she could have been her own wind girl without wading into this muddy water. The husband-snatching enemy she found for her was also Zhang Guan Li Dai, but this girl insisted on joining the coalition with the Xi'er family, and became an indispensable and powerful force in the coalition army, playing a key role in many battles and battles.
"See the Grand Governor!"
One of the young men dressed as a miner immediately knelt down on one knee as soon as he saw Zhou Yu. Although he was not yet thirty years old, his face was wrinkled early, and his dark black skin showed that he had worked in the mines for a long time, and his hands were full of calluses thicker than the skin of a fish. Seeing Zhou Yu staring at his hand, he embarrassedly turned his hand back.
The Metropolitan laughed heartily, lifted him up, whether he wanted to or not, and pulled him by the arm, grasping his weather-beaten hand. As a "nail" who has been lurking in Hongcheng for a long time, he must have endured and is under heavier psychological pressure than other soldiers.
The young man twitched the muscles of his cheeks in embarrassment, he could no longer smile, and then looked around nervously and vigilantly, as if he was afraid that someone would see him laughing.
Zhou Yu can understand that this is his professional habit, and it is also a natural reaction to be on the front line of the struggle against the enemy for a long time. Anyone's words and deeds have to cooperate with joy, anger and sorrow, so he has long lost the ability to adjust his facial muscles independently, and what others do has become a conditioned reflex.
What's even more sad is that no matter when, where, or who is around him, he must be vigilant and take precautions, for fear that one accidentally reveals his stuffing and will lead to death. At that time, death may be sad for him.
"I often hear your Royal Highness the Queen mention that your name is thin and black, right?"
"It's difficult, it's rare that the Metropolitan Governor has even heard of the small one."
The thin man black's eyes were as big as cowbells, and he looked at the smiling middle-aged man in front of him in surprise, and then at Cathy who was smiling next to him.
"Yes, of course I have heard. Your queen has often praised you for being a clever and brave young man, and that a lot of information about Rainbow City comes from your collection net. How can it be a small person? Heard! Great listen! ā
The thin black was flattered, and he wanted to pull his hand out several times, but he was held by the big hand of the Metropolitan Governor like a vice, and he never got his wish. He couldn't help but look back at the man he had brought, and his eyes showed that the man in front of him was the master.
"Your Excellency is..."
"Fan Pupa, the deputy general of the garrison in Xia Hongcheng, meet your lord!"
As soon as this person's words came out, there were a few crisp sounds, and seven or eight knives were pulled out and aimed at him, Tuda, Jielang, Bang Shuai, and Taishan all stood between him and Zhou Yu without exception. What a strange thing this is, when the two armies are facing each other, an enemy garrison adjutant can actually come here and face the commander of our army, it is really strange that there are many things every day, especially today.
"Slow!"
Zhou Yu stretched out his hand to pat Tuda's steel knife, stepped up and stretched out his right hand, but his eyes did not leave the pupils of the pupa at all, unreservedly distinguishing between good and evil and position in his eyes. After a few seconds, he turned his head sideways, first at Cathy, then at Skinny Black, and finally at Mortal Chrysalis.
Fan Chrysalis's expression was very stubborn, and he did not have the slightest fear in the face of the steel knife in front of him, and most of the governors saw that he didn't even raise his eyelids, staring at himself, and looked down at the hand that people stretched out to express his sincerity, but he didn't come to shake it.
The face is full of vicissitudes and uneasiness, and even the wrinkles are mixed with melancholy and anxiety, as if telling the tragedy that is happening in Hongcheng at this time.
"Can you promise not to kill a person?"
"I promise!"
Zhou Yu took his hand back and rubbed his chin with a smile. It seems that this person is a high-ranking general of the enemy army who is a thin man and a rebel, and he has come to negotiate with him this time. Yesterday, when he had just arrived at the forefront of the war, and his ass was still hot, he received such a large gift from Cathy, can he not be happy?
There was a "poof" sound, which stunned everyone.
Where the chrysalis knelt on the ground, whimpering and sobbing, supporting the ground with both hands, did he raise one arm to wipe his snot and tears.
Tuda, Jaerang and the others looked at each other, unable to figure out why the general suddenly knelt on the ground, with old tears all over his eyes, and people in their forties were crying like children.
"What do you mean, General?"
Zhou Yu hurriedly stepped forward and helped him under his armpit to help the seven-foot man up, looking at his face full of beard and countless scars, anyone had to give some respect.
"The people of Hongcheng are too bitter...
Everyone suddenly realized that the general had come to the peace talks to save the lives of the people of Hongcheng. He has no identity and can't get on the table, so he can only take this kind of private transaction to give it a go.
If you give it a fight, you may die in the enemy camp.
If you don't fight, the people of Hongcheng will die.
"General Pupa, you help me get rid of Taiira, and after the city is broken, I will ensure that the soldiers will not be bloodless, and there will be no burning, killing and looting. Is it a deal? ā
Fan Chrysalis wiped it with his sleeve and stood up. He looked at the thin black man, as an intermediary he was the only one who could trust the pupa of mortals, and otherwise it was all up to fate and luck.
The thin man nodded firmly.
"I'll do it! As long as you can save the whole city, it is not a pity to kill the chrysalis. ā
Sending away the pupa of mortals, Zhou Yu was still pondering. The several plans discussed just now are not very mature, and it is difficult to let a garrison deputy general assassinate the minister. Let's not talk about whether he has a chance to get close, even if he can get close to Taiira, it is said that this person is extremely strong and can break the door with a single fist, is the body and bones of the chrysalis his opponent?
However, having a beginning is good, even if the chrysalis can't successfully assassinate Taiira, it is better to engage in sabotage and show your hole cards as a strategic strategy than to smear your eyes and smear your holes.
"Great, Governor!"
"Oh? Thin black, you haven't left yet? ā
The thin man waited outside his dormitory for an unknown amount of time, and he didn't meet him until Zhou Yu inspected the entire base. At this moment, he was a little cramped, standing on the side of the lintel and constantly tugging at the corners of his clothes, as if he wanted to open his mouth to ask his parents for money.
"My lord, I'm not going back."
"Well, I heard from your Highness the Queen, your mission is accomplished. Next, you will be assigned other more important tasks. ā
"Yes, yes. I consulted Her Royal Highness and she said let me come to you. ā
"What are you looking for me, what are you looking for me?"
Zhou Yu was slightly surprised.
"IāI want to go to war."
"To the battlefield?"
Zhou Yu understood why Cathy asked him to come to him, she had no combat mission, and if she wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, she had to be incorporated into the main force of the three armies in order to realize her dream.
"Yes, go to the battlefield and kill the enemy. I'm going to go to Tianyin City to avenge my dead parents. ā
Speaking of the back, the thin man Hei lowered his head, sighed, and looked at his calloused palms, like frosted eggplants.
"Come on, skinny black."
Zhou Yu pushed open the door and instructed Tesla to make two cups of good tea. With a snap of his fingers, 139 turns on his headlamp. He sat down on the couch and stretched out his hand to signal the thin black man to sit on the other side of the table and stool.
The thin black man was a little overwhelmed, hesitated for a few seconds and sat down.
"Black, what revenge do you have?"
"I, I, actually, I actually have a sister."
"Hmm!"
Zhou Yu took a sip of tea, put the teacup neatly in a dignified manner, and listened carefully to his story of the past. Paying attention without squinting is a minimum of respect for a person.
It turned out that the thin man Heiben was from the villages around Tianyin City, and two years after he was born, his mother gave birth to a younger sister, and the two were sent to the Central Continent one after another, and they never met and didn't know each other when they grew up. Eighteen years later, the thin black man came back to recognize his father, his mother had long since died, and the old father told him that his sister was taken away by Cuo Ling's men after she was born, and she would never get her tattoo back.
Within a few days, the old father, who had been holding on to the return of the thin black in one breath, also passed away suddenly, and the thin black who had no father and no mother embarked on the road of no return to find his sister. Searching through villages and cities, on foot and on Hot Wheels, he tried a hundred ways to find out.
Finally, he learned of Cuo Ling's conspiracy from the Xi'er clan, this devil snatched the newborn baby girls and tattooed them with their own coat of arms, and when they grew up and returned, they could be married to the patriarchs of the five clans or generals as their own daughters, without any investment.
Pity the families who lost their children, Cuo Ling killed most of them in order to hide their eyes. The reason why the thin black father survived was because he was knocked unconscious during the snatching of the child, and the soldiers thought he was dead and did not make up the knife.
The thin man Hei, who had nothing to worry about, was bent on revenge, and finally moved the scourge and the others, and these elders took him in and sent him and hundreds of other miserable people to the large and small cities of Dubancia, from Tianyin City to Winding City, Qiang City, Fox City, and then to Hongcheng, Butterfly City, and Tuna City, as long as there are people, there is a wedge for Xi'er.
These wedges are no longer engaged in intelligence work all the time, so the Xi'er clan has not been exterminated in such a troubled world, but has survived as a powerful force.
"So, you want me to integrate you into the Chinese army, you want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, slash the enemy, and avenge your parents and sister?"
"Hmm!"
The thin man looked at Zhou Yu's eyes resolutely, in that darkness, there was something black that was darker than the darkness.
"I can feel how urgent your request is, how strong your desire is. But unfortunately, I can't agree to be transferred to the front! ā
"Why?"
Two voices rang out at the same time, one was thin and black, and the other was from his inner chamber.
