Chapter 71: Meritorious Service Again
Time came to the evening two days later. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the Valley of the Kings, Sun Chenghuan finally met Marshal Antarius again, and the general named Reginald Wendsol, who had been tied to his horse like a prisoner of war and walked all the way.
At the banquet hosted by the fat general.
This time Reginald looked a lot more energetic than before.
Maybe it's because you're in a good mood?
For the past two days, the Valley of the Kings has been quiet, but it is at the foot of the mountain outside the valley......
In fact, it was also peaceful.
That day, Raven did not agree to the fat general's invitation, and went down the mountain on behalf of Princess Jarro to have a showdown with Cassiu.
Like all nobles, although she admired the hundred soldiers of the Guards, she also knew that going down the mountain to the army on the other side in this situation was no different from giving hostages.
Moreover, considering the anger of Marshal Antarius in the back, it is likely that his hostage will not be used as a bargaining chip in negotiations, but will be killed to vent his anger......
Just like Ruiwen said to Sun Chenghuan, she just disdains the aristocracy, which doesn't mean that she doesn't understand.
On the bright side, I want to exclude you, and then come up with a high-sounding reason to send you to death, the nobles have done too much.
Raven's reason for refusing is also very "aristocratic".
"I think Princess Jarro needs me to be by her side to keep her safe, after all, ...... have experienced this kind of thing."
What about Jarro?
She wouldn't be stupid enough to say to Raven, go ahead!
In the past few days, if Sun Chenghuan is the biggest contributor to her relatively safe now, then the ones who really give her a sense of security by her side are Joey, who is still reading silently by the side, and Raven, who has been leading her guard.
Jarro thought about making Raven her marshal when she returned to Minethir. ”
This was the first time that his puppets were introduced to Jarro and his classmates by Sun Chenghuan, and Su Su quietly told him in Sun Chenghuan's heart by means of sound transmission.
Therefore, although Raven is still very worried about her group of subordinate uncles, she is only high above the Valley of the Kings, but because of the obstruction of the mountain walls on both sides, she still can't see the direction of the mountain at the foot of the mountain......
Sun Chenghuan didn't plan to wait for news in Guanli.
He has a lot of things to confirm.
So, before going down the mountain, he instructed the fat general not to let a single mouse into the valley until he had called his men to open the door at the bottom of the Valley of the Kings.
The fat general did the same.
Sun Chenghuan, who went down the mountain, came to Kaxiu's camp.
I met Cassiu, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
After that, the herald came with the words of the fat general, which was the lie that Sun Chenghuan had discussed with him about what Al Luo had to do with the assassins.
Cassieu was completely stunned at this time.
He really believed.
Because Sun Chenghuan really said that he would go to the Valley of the Kings to kill the guards, and then take over the Valley of the Kings himself.
Although Jarro was angry for the last time, and then asked Joey, who was following her, to use magic to drive Sun Chenghuan away, he didn't think it was impossible for Sun Chenghuan to continue to do what he thought was right......
Now the situation has become that he cannot enter the Valley of the Kings, and his 20,000 soldiers cannot enter the Valley of the Kings, and behind him, the front army of Marshal Antarius, who is desperately coming, has begun to send light cavalry to harass the army of Cassius, which has been encamped.
There is no way forward, and there are pursuers behind.
Cassius suddenly felt a little hopeless.
Then he made a difficult decision: leave the army behind and run away on his own.
Where there is life, there is hope.
Adhering to this ancient proverb passed down from Penglai Kingdom, after Cassiu arranged for the two captains to prepare for the final "desperate battle", he himself took advantage of the lack of attention, slipped out of his camp, and then fled all the way to the foot of the Valley of the Kings.
Unfortunately, his original arrangement was still very good, and the two captains organized their troops in front to prepare to meet the army of Antarius, while he himself slipped away from behind.
The plan was good, but there were surprises in execution.
Sun Chenghuan was waiting for him on his way away.
The moment he saw Sun Chenghuan, Kasei, who was still wearing a night suit and seriously wanted to escape, gave up.
I finally understood that Jarro was not detained in the Valley of the Kings, but invited in......
Isn't that the person in front of you?
What went wrong with my plan!
Cassieu was desperate.
He knew that he was not Sun Chenghuan's opponent at all. Most of the Astranas probably didn't know it now, but he went to Merth and found out that this man had killed Eldraine.
In the six months that I have been negotiating in Ornica, I have seen many big names in Mous, including Eldraine, the deputy commander of the Western Legion who is responsible for guarding Ornica. What kind of person is that, he knows very well.
So, the desperate Kaxiu pointed at Sun Chenghuan angrily and scolded for a while, and was cut off by Sun Chenghuan.
In fact, being scolded or something could have been omitted, but Sun Chenghuan needed to finalize whether Cassiu was the hostile side of Jarro.
He had always been skeptical of psychic magic.
I don't know if it's because of the education he received when he was a child or what, but in his subconscious, he always doesn't trust the results of spiritual exploration.
Because the principle of spiritual exploration is to detect what the other party is thinking, as well as some things that the other party has been thinking recently.
When a person lies, most of the things that his spirit thinks are different from what he says, and it is at this time that spiritual exploration comes into play.
If the other party does not recall or think about something, mental exploration is useless.
Therefore, even if the interrogation is conducted with mental probe, it is very skillful to ask questions.
However, if you meet a very small number of people, then the psychic probe will not only be useless, but will be a negative help.
Some people may be able to lie, and they believe it......
Although it seems that Cassius himself or the information he received from Antarius and Reginald should be an enemy, what if he is deceived?
The effect of this scolding is to make Sun Chenghuan sure that he didn't kill the wrong person.
"You stinky boy ruined our big deal!"
Sun Chenghuan actually heard this sentence.
When Sun Chenghuan appeared at the foot of the mountain in front of the army that was waiting to fight to the death with Cassiuus's head and Antarius's command flag, this long-planned rebellion came to an end.
The two captains asked their subordinates to tie themselves up, came out and knelt in front of Sun Chenghuan, asking for forgiveness.
It's just a matter of military law, not what Sun Chenghuan said.
He didn't intend to go so far, but asked the two captains to arrange for the guards of Jarro, who numbered less than a hundred people, to go to the Valley of the Kings first and wait, and then let the men sent by Antarius, who was in charge of harassing the 20,000 men there, report that the matter was basically settled, and then return to the Valley of the Kings.
All this happened in one night, and it took half a day for Antarius' army to finally reach the foot of the Valley of the Kings.
Whether the two commanders were dealt with by military law or lenient, Sun Chenghuan didn't care, but still looked at him with envy Suo Wan reminded him that he had killed a rebellious general, and another lot of credit had been credited......
And today, Antarius finally cleaned up the situation under the mountain and entered the Valley of the Kings.
Just like the fat general had asked Cassius before, Antarius was also conscious of not bringing his troops in.
It's just himself and Reginald.
In this kind of celebration banquet-like occasion, no one will say anything bad.
Although as soon as Antarius saw Jarro, he bowed to Jarro very seriously and confessed his mistake, and then there were words of loyalty such as I was late, and there were also words such as praise such as the auspicious man's own heavenly appearance.
Sun Chenghuan hid in the corner.
He wouldn't have the time to go to the marshal's side to brush up on his presence, nor would he stand in the way of where Jarro was showing his generosity in buying people's hearts.
So, in such a room, he is neither the host nor the guest.
He seemed a little redundant.
It's like Joey, who was in charge of security there and didn't actually have anything to do with her.
"Why are you here? You're the protagonist of today's banquet!"
Joey came to Sun Chenghuan's side, holding a chicken leg in his hand.
“...... You're a girl too, why is this image!"
Sun Chenghuan was a little speechless and complained with a smile.
Neither of them will take this to heart.
"I really don't know what kind of banquet this is, whether you want wine or not, and you only have meat and ...... dishes."
"Alright, this is a barracks! You still want to drink...... Forget it, you didn't take a military theory class when you were in the Second Academy. ”
"My dream has never been to go to war!" Joey looked indifferent. "I wanted to talk to you yesterday, but you were too busy to bother you, and now you're free, right?"
"Empty? Say yes, say no, what's the matter with you?" Sun Cheng was happy.
The expression on Joey's face was a little cautious.
"That...... Yesterday I heard that you weren't going to come with us to Minethil?"
"Oh, there is such a thing. ”
"Why?"
"My friend...... Well, it's the girls who introduced you the day before yesterday......"
"It's all pretty, what's wrong?" Joey nodded.
“...... They have something to do and need me to help them. Anyway, General Windsol said that he would lead his army to escort you to Minethil for some time, and I was relieved of this. Sun Chenghuan explained with a smile.
"Aren't you going to Stormwind?"
"That's Jessica and Sovan's mission, it's none of our business, don't interfere. Sun Chenghuan hurriedly reminded Joey.
eyes, glancing at Jarro.
"This is what I want to find you. Joey nodded, and then, too, glanced at Jarro.
She's talking to Antarius about the climate in Astrana.
"Yesterday, when I knew you were leaving, I talked to Raven, and she also thought you were leaving......"
"I'm not ......"
"What we mean is that you're leaving Astrana and going back to Merce. Joy made it a little more specific.
“...... I'm going back, I've got to be able to go back!" Sun Chenghuan smiled a little helplessly.
"Then why did Jarro so simply agree to you leaving, since you got off the ship a few days ago...... Oh, and speaking of which, from the time we left Onica, along the way, count your credit and contribution to the most......"
"So what can it be?" Sun Chenghuan asked Joey with a smile, "Can Princess Jarro make me a duke now?" ”
Be quiet.
"So, let me leave for the time being, it's best for her, otherwise, people like me stay by her side all day long, isn't it just reminding her that she can't even afford to reward her subordinates for their meritorious service now?" Sun Chenghuan smiled, "If it weren't for the fact that I killed Kasiu with my own hands this time, I wouldn't have left, but now, I really have to leave for a while, and I'll come back when you get to Minahir to gain a firm foothold, or, if you really can't stand still." ”
“...... How do you feel like your style is a little weird...... It's a lot like the characters in the novels I read when I was a kid!" Joey nodded, then shook his head, "You may not be able to come back in the future." You see, now the division of responsibilities of several of us has been carried out very completely, Jessica is in charge, Suowan is outside, Raven is in charge, and I am responsible for protecting her safety...... What do you do?"
"Me?" Sun Chenghuan thought about seriously, "My role is to ...... Let you rally around Jarro!"
"What do you mean......
"If it weren't for me, who would be able to convince whom of the two people, Suowan and Jessica?" Sun Chenghuan asked rhetorically, pointing to Suowan who was drinking with Reginald there, "He is also a very high-spirited lord, this time he and Jessica didn't make any contributions along the way, and now I'm in a hurry, I'll go away to make way for him and Jessica......"
"You'll come back when they get into trouble......? What does the spiritual leader mean?" Joey smiled and shook his head.
"Spiritual leader......" Sun Chenghuan was in a trance for a moment, but he immediately came back to his senses, "Adhesive." ”
"Hmm...... Indeed, if I were to change Sovan or Jessica to command me, I would really not be convinced, but if it were you, I would do whatever you told me to do...... It's a complicated feeling. Joey was still smiling.
"I'm going to leave tomorrow when I'm here and they arrive. Sun Chenghuan nodded at Joey and said, "Next......"
"If we encounter any problems and need your help, how can we notify you?"
"This ...... I'll arrange it tomorrow. Sun Chenghuan thought about it and responded seriously.
Yes, there are some things that must be dealt with before he officially follows Lan Lan to the forbidden place of their puppet gate......
