Chapter 342: Monton's Choice
On the 30th day of December in the 798th year of the Guangming calendar, the third day after the end of the Battle of Tamu City, the entire continent came to a halt. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The ruins of Tamu City have been cleared, but the city itself is so badly damaged that it cannot be repaired in a short period of time. Monton had to order trenches to be dug in the ice fields outside the city and tower posts to defend against the backlash of the vampire army.
Due to the shelter of Yin Mountain, rich vegetation and scattered lakes and rivers, the severe cold in the northwest has always been later than in the area of Wolf City. The white-haired wind in the wolf city has been blowing for dozens of days, and the snow is waist-high, which has become a natural barrier to protect the wolf city. In the northwest, the temperature is still raining, and the snow is delayed.
The human legions stationed outside Tamu City had to be scouted and brave the ice and rain to attack everywhere in preparation for the unexpected. The harsh environment and the tense atmosphere made the tense soldiers feel tired.
Fortunately, this situation changed in the last days of the seven-ninety-eight year. From midnight onwards, the cold rain finally stopped, replaced by goose feather-like snowflakes, and by early morning, the city and the ice fields outside the city were covered in silver, and the snow finally made the sky and the earth the same color.
Monton breathed a sigh of relief, and with the snow in the background, the Twilight spell would have nothing to hide, and there would be no need to rely on the night to drop the firestone to extend its vision.
"My lord, Miss Nalan Xiaoxue is here at your invitation!"
Meng Dun nodded, he personally opened the door of the tent and welcomed Nalan Xiaoxue in.
"Lord Mengton, you are too polite, Xiaoxue is ashamed!" Nalan Xiaoxue hurriedly returned the salute.
Monton glanced at Xiao Lei, who was standing outside the tent like a door god, and couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth, but he didn't say anything more, and put down the tent door directly.
"Little Snow Maiden, I invite you to come, mainly to find out when the ransom for prisoners of war will be delivered. It's the end of the year, and our soldiers in Northern Xinjiang are having a hard time, and they can't go back to their homes, so they can only stay in the ice and snow, and sleep in the open......" Monton sighed, "Whether the soldiers can have a good year depends on Xiaoxue girl!"
The Three Kingdoms of the Human Empire, the God-given Republic, and the Orc Kingdom all follow the old customs of the Kyushu Empire, and the end and beginning of each year are the most important festivals in the entire continent. Saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new year is a joyful event for the people of all countries.
Xiao Xue smiled slightly: "Lord Monton, don't worry, Commander Li of the Ice Plains Legion has already sent someone to inform you in advance, this amount of money is not large, and it will never be delayed until next year!"
"That's good! That's good!" said Menton, stroking his palm lightly, as if considering how to phrase it in order to say the next words in an appropriate way.
"Lord Monton, Ah Heng said that he is not there, you are the most trustworthy person!If you have anything to say, please speak up, I will not have any opinion!" Nalan Xiaoxue said with a smile.
Monton secretly praised the girl for being smart, and she avoided her own embarrassment by saying it directly. He simply said, "It's okay, I'll ask you directly!" He paused slightly before he said, "Little Snow Girl, is there any misunderstanding between you and the Lord of Chiba?"
Nalan Xiaoxue was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "If there is, I believe it must not be a misunderstanding!
Listening to the other party's answer, Monton knew that the girl in front of him had already identified certain things, and the spearhead of these things was directly aimed at the lord of Chiba.
Monton sighed secretly, feeling even more tricky, the personality of the lord of Chiba is aggressive, and the girls in front of him are soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, but they are on the needle against Mai Mang. Ah Heng and Guo Wu, the two little bastards, have a good relationship and want to wear the same pair of pants, but they can't even manage their own women, which makes the undercurrents in Tamu City surge, making him in a dilemma.
Monton pondered for a moment before saying, "Early this morning, someone assassinated the Lord of Chiba, and the assassin has been caught, and it is a member of the Ice Legion!"
Nalan Xiaoxue's expression changed: "How is it possible?
Monton shook his head: "There can be no mistake!"
Nalan Xiaoxue said: "I believe that General Xiao Lei would never give such an order, and the soldiers of the Ice Plain Legion would never act without permission!"
Meng Dun looked at the other party deeply, and sighed lightly: "You say so, it seems that Xiao Lei's bastard is also an insider! This bastard, after all, he still can't trust me!" He paused and said, "I also believe that it wasn't Xiao Lei's order, because he couldn't command that assassin at all!"
Nalan Xiaoxue's eyes froze, and she stared at Meng Dun tightly and said, "What do you mean, that assassin is a member of the Frozen Tribe?
Monton said, "The name of the assassin is A. Lange!"
Nalan Xiaoxue's eyes immediately flashed the face of a young man, her eyes flashed, and she said lightly: "That's right, Lange is indeed a member of the Frozen Tribe, and he belongs to the newly formed Storm Squadron of the Ice Plains Legion. Where is he now? Can I see him immediately?"
Monton said, "Yes!" He clapped his hands, and two people immediately came out of the account, and carried out a corpse, and the white cloth was uncovered, it was the young soldier of the frozen tribe.
Nalan Xiaoxue's eyes shrank: "You have already killed him?!"
Monton said: "The Lord of Chiba said that he committed suicide!"
Nalan Xiaoxue looked at the blood stains on the heart of the young man's chest, and said coldly: "There is no proof of death, you can say whatever you want!"
Monton said, "Little Snow Girl, please stay calm!"
Nalan Xiaoxue laughed at herself: "Calm down? I already understand that woman wants to stir up strife and force the Ice Plains Legion away." Lord Monton, you came to me in the hope that I would order the Storm Squadron to leave the Tamu City camp immediately, right?"
Monton said in a deep voice: "Not only the Storm Squadron, but also the entire Ice Plains Legion!" At present, this news is still in a state of blockade, but Little Snow Maiden, you should know that it is impossible to hide this matter at all. Once it spreads throughout the barracks, it will immediately arouse the anger of the Northern Frontier Army.
You should know that Chiba is not only the lord of the empire, but also the future mistress of the northern frontier. She has resisted the necromantic army with the Northern Xinjiang people in Tamu City, and since she can protect the Northern Xinjiang people with her own life, then she is worthy of the Northern Xinjiang army's life to protect!"
Nalan Xiaoxue sneered: "The adults are so determined about us, so it seems that that woman's injuries are very serious!"
Monton let out a long sigh and said: "It is a more terrible consequence than the serious injury, the wound of the Chiba county lord is in the abdomen, and when I went, she was begging the military doctor to save the child...... It turns out that the county lord is pregnant!"
Nalan Xiaoxue knew that any explanation was superfluous, she didn't expect the other party to be so ruthless, and he would do such a terrible and vicious thing, and this viciousness was inflicted on herself.
Nalan Xiaoxue forced herself to calm down, and said slowly: "The adults invited me to come, and asked me if I had a misunderstanding with Chiba, presumably this matter has nothing to do with me!"
Monton said with difficulty: "That's right, on the body of the assassin, I found your secret letter!"
Nalan Xiaoxue sneered: "What a coincidence, even I didn't know that I had ever written a secret letter!"
Meng Dun said: "The secret letter is indeed not written by you, it was written by Fan Xingyun! The secret letter said that he will definitely cooperate with your actions and assassinate all the important people in Northern Xinjiang, among which the first in line is me and the lord of Chiba. And unfortunately, at the same time that Chiba was assassinated, I was also assassinated. It's just that the assassin didn't succeed at all and chose to commit suicide. ā
Nalan Xiaoxue sneered, "How do you know that the secret letter was not left by her afterwards on Lange?" and would I be so ridiculous as to let an assassin carry out an assassination with my secret letter?"
Morton said: "These reasons of yours are not sufficient! The most important thing is that I can't find the motive of the Lord of Chiba to do this!"
Nalan Xiaoxue said: "If I say that the woman wants to kill Ah Heng, and this matter happens to be discovered by me, will the adults believe it?"
Monton's face changed slightly: "Do you have evidence?"
Nalan Xiaoxue was silent.
Monton sighed.
Nalan Xiaoxue was silent for a long time, and suddenly bowed deeply to Mengton: "The adults are willing to say this to me, Xiaoxue is already grateful." So what are you going to do with me?"
Meng Dun turned his back and said in a deep voice: "Get out of here immediately, go as far as possible! You and Ah Heng have a heart-to-heart connection, I suggest that you inform Ah Heng and let him and Guo Wu return immediately to solve this matter." They have very deep feelings, as long as Chiba's life is not in danger, there will not be much of a problem! As for the truth of the matter, it depends on how they deal with it!"
Nalan Xiaoxue bowed, turned around and walked out, and when she arrived at the tent door, she suddenly turned around and said, "My lord, her original intention should have been to order you to kill me! Why didn't you do it?"
"Yes," said Monton, "the lord of the county does want your life, and she is sure that I will carry out my orders without reservation. But there's no way I'm going to do that, so you've got plenty of time to leave!"
Nalan Xiaoxue said silently: "Why?"
Meng Dun said abruptly: "I can't see clearly which is right and which is wrong, but in any case, I don't want Ah Heng and Guo Wu to turn against each other because of this, the two of them are the future of Northern Xinjiang! Even if I will be ruined one day, I can't do anything that damages Northern Xinjiang!"
Nalan Xiaoxue nodded, and suddenly said: "Then adults, you have to be careful, you may be killed if you do this! That woman is still so cruel to herself, she will only be a thousand times cruel to those who betray her!"
Monton said: "Maybe, you don't have to worry about me, I should have died a long time ago!" He waved his hand, "Let's go, live well, for yourself, for Aheng, and for the Northern Xinjiang!"
