A word that was neither humble nor arrogant made the square-faced man see at a glance that Ling Tian, who had just walked out of the door, was different, especially the confidence hidden in the modesty, which was not something that ordinary people could pretend to be, and took a step forward at the moment, raised his thick eyebrows, and saluted with a fist: "This brother, I want to take the liberty of asking for advice''''''

Ling Tianfang didn't care, and before he could answer, the officer next to him had already answered: "This is Lord Ling of our Northwest Legion!"

"Oh?" The square-faced man showed a rare hint of joy on his face, and grinned: "I have admired Lord Ling's prestige for a long time, and it is really a blessing to see it today." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"This brother is too polite, Lord Li temporarily let Ling be in charge of the affairs of the Lulong region before leaving, if Brother Tai has something important, as long as it is not Lord Li's private matter, he might as well reveal one or two. Ling Tianfang observed that the other party's joy from his heart was by no means pretending, and it was estimated that there was indeed something important, so he went straight to the point and opened the topic.

"Okay, if Master Li is not here, I believe that Brother Ling can also be half the master, why don't you ''''''" The square-faced man said as he moved.

"Please," Ling Tianfang also saw the anxiety in the other party's heart, and he didn't want to delay any time, so he invited the square-faced man into the house, but his eyes quietly slipped behind him to find the so-called young man with an extraordinary identity.

Sure enough, the square-faced man hesitated for a moment, and finally looked at the young man who was surrounded by a dark cloak, and the young man didn't answer, and walked straight out of the crowd, but the eyes that were hidden under the cloak veil were extremely fierce, which surprised Ling Tianfang a little.

It seems that the real guest is this guy, Ling Tianfang didn't say much, Yanshou invited the two of them into the house, and the rest of the people were also invited to rest in other places.

Before he could sit down in the room, the square-faced man introduced himself: "Brother is Red, the deputy commander of the Janissary Regiment of the Duke of Gerook, and this time Lu Long really has something important to meet Master Li. ”

"Oh, it's Lord Red, I've been looking up for a long time. Ling Tian was relieved, a person with such an identity was actually just a starter, and the identity of this guy next to him who was tightly covered by his clothes was definitely not simple.

Seeing Ling Tian looking at the Xuanyi man beside him, the square-faced man Red said with a wry smile: "Brother Ling, please forgive my brother for the inconvenience of revealing this '''''' for the time being, uh, the identity of this gentleman, brother wants to talk about our intention this time first." ”

"Oh?" At this time, the other party was still unwilling to reveal the identity of this person, could there be anything unspeakable here, but he was calm and sophisticated, he did not show any strange looks, but smiled slightly: "General Red, please say something, the Principality of Gerok is an imperial ally, and you and I are close neighbors, even if you have something to say, as long as Ling can do it, he will never refuse." ”

"Lord Ling is too polite, the matter is urgent, and Red is also presumptuous. To tell you the truth, Red is here to ask you for help this time, and the situation in our country is already extremely critical, and I hope that you will immediately send troops to solve our urgent needs for the sake of our allies. The square-faced man's anxious look was overflowing, and he said his intentions straight to the point.

"Oh?" Although Ling Tian was relieved to be mentally prepared, he still didn't expect the other party to say the purpose directly, and he also used quite serious adjectives in his words, without the slightest hint of concealment, it seemed that the situation had reached a point where there could be no delay.

"Lord Red, I've also heard that your situation is not optimistic, but is it really bad enough to be as you said?" While digesting the meaning of the other party's words, Ling Tianfang was also thinking about how to deal with it.

Seeing that the other party was still unhurried, Red took a deep breath and said, "Brother Ling, brother has nothing to exaggerate. Immediately afterwards, Red gave a detailed introduction to the bad situation in his country.

In the end, Lei Decai said: "Brother Ling also knows that the rebel forces of the Taiping Sect in your country have already been annihilated by the Kaman people and the Poole people, and the central government of the empire is now overstretched to deal with the Taiping Sect, let alone to assist our country, and the passage between our country and the empire has been completely blocked by the territory controlled by the Taiping Sect, therefore, only you can have the strength to help us, I hope that Brother Ling can help you, and my country will be grateful." ”

I am grateful? I sneered in the early morning, how much is gratitude worth? The situation is so grim, and my own side is still too busy to take care of itself, where can I still have the energy to take care of other people's affairs? Besides, this is obviously a discounted transaction, and of course it is impossible for him, who is good at calculation, not to be unaware.

With a long sigh, Ling Tianfang's face was full of sympathy, "Lord Red, I didn't expect the situation to be so bad, the Kaman people are not good, I don't know how your country is going to deal with such a grim situation?"

Red was stunned by what the other party said, "Lord Ling, it is precisely because we are unable to deal with it now that we have come to ask you for help." ”

"But Lord Red, you are a soldier and you know the current situation, although Lord Li is in charge of the northwest and northern Luzon, but you also know that at present, the Taiping sect is developing and spreading wildly, and most of the Beiyuan County of the empire has fallen, which directly threatens the security of our northwest, so Lord Li will rescue Lu Long and prevent Lu Long from falling into the hands of the enemy, and now there are more than 100,000 Taiping troops gathered in the east of Lu Long, threatening Lu Long's safety at any time, do you think we can still draw strength to support you at present?" Ling Tianfang's face was filled with a look of regret that he couldn't help, and he shrugged.

As the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard Regiment of the Duke of Gerook, how could the square-faced man not understand the current situation, to be honest, he was not hopeful about this trip to Lu Long at first, but it was not until the Minister of War told him the details that he understood what a great sacrifice the Grand Duke had made, and he also had some confidence in this trip to Lu Long in desperation. He also knew the truth of what Ling Tianfang said, but he also firmly believed that with the size of the northwest and northern Luzon, there would definitely be a considerable number of mobile troops left to deal with the unexpected, and it would never be possible to arrange all the forces to be full, and once there was an accident, it would be out of control, and a far-sighted commander would never do this.

"Brother Ling, brother can understand your difficulties, but at the moment, our country is indeed on the verge of despair, if there is no foreign aid, I am afraid it will be really difficult for us to survive, and once our country is attacked by the Kamans, it will pose a greater threat to you. Red knew that the other party would not be easily impressed, but he still refused to give up, and was not willing to use the last trump card for the time being.

"I'm sorry, Lord Red, I think I can only say I'm sorry, the situation in Lulong is not stable at the moment, and I won't tell you anything, I only have less than three divisions in my hands, and I can't spare any extra strength to assist you. Ling Tianfang was still silent, he knew that if the other party was so empty-mouthed and white-toothed, it would undoubtedly be whimsical to move his own side to send troops, and the other party's mind would not be so simple.

Seeing that the atmosphere froze suddenly, Red sighed lightly in his heart, and then said: "Our Grand Duke has always admired Lord Li for a long time, and has long wanted to reveal a young hero like Lord Li, but he has never had the opportunity, this time I came to your place on the order of the Grand Duke, I wanted to be able to meet Lord Li, who knew that it was so unfortunate''''''"

"Lord Red, although Lord Li left Lu Long, it is estimated that he is still in Qingyang, if there is indeed something that Lord Li must decide, you might as well say it directly, Ling can notify Lord Li immediately, and even go directly to Qingyang and his party. Ling Tianfang had already seen that the other party's intention this time was not to ask for help, and he would not give up, but he couldn't figure out what kind of certainty the other party could make his side send troops, money, treasures, beauties, or land.

After hesitating for a moment, Red glanced at the Xuanyi man beside him who was speechless, and before he could speak, the Xuanyi man, who had not been silent, stood up and said, "Red, there is no need to say more." The surname is Ling, and we don't want to talk nonsense, my father is willing to exchange me for Li Wufeng to send troops to help our Principality of Gelok resist the invasion of the Kamans, you can inform Li Wufeng immediately and ask him if he is willing to make this deal?"

The voice is crisp and pleasant, the words are correct and round, but it is a woman's voice!

Somewhat surprised, Ling Tianfang's expression moved slightly, as if he had guessed the identity of the other party, "This is ''''''"

"Yes, I am Anne, the daughter of Archduke Allen. The Xuanyi man gently took off his duke, a black and shiny fluffy hair poured down like a waterfall, a fair-skinned face, clear and bright eyes, a high nose, and a slightly upturned mouth, especially the calm and mocking look on the face, which showed that this girl's surname was very different from ordinary women's surnames.

"Oh, Princess Anne, Ling Tian is rude. Ling Tian was relieved and hurriedly saluted, but it seemed that the other party was not too kind to him, he just smiled coldly and said that he returned the salute.

"The surname is Ling, don't talk nonsense, if you can be the master, then it's fine, if you can't be the master, inform Li Wufeng as soon as possible, I don't want to bother with you here." ”

Facing the other party's arrogant words, Ling Tianfang didn't think it was wrong, and said with a slight smile: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the matter is serious, and the specific situation Ling is not clear, if you should notify Lord Li, Ling will naturally handle it quickly." ”

After learning the conditions proposed by the other party from Red's mouth, even Ling Tianfang was a little tempted, although Li Wufeng was engaged to the seventeenth princess of the empire, but to be honest, the seventeenth princess did not have much value except for a slight meaning in her name, and Princess Anne was very different, she was the only heir to the throne of the Principality of Gerook, if Li Wufeng could marry her, then the inheritance of the Duchy of Gerlok would naturally fall into the hands of Li Wufeng after a hundred years, of course, the Duchy of Gerok still exists. As for the question of the succession of their descendants, it is all a matter of later story, everything is negotiable, and countless indescribable changes may occur.

It's just that whether his own side is capable of saving this crisis in front of Jieluo? Ling Tian was not at all sure.
