Chapter 479: I'm Your Mother's Boss

"Uncle Ted, how about listening to the junior?"
Du Chen waved his hand and shouted back to catch up with the soldiers who wanted to protect him, and couldn't bear to glance at a corpse under his feet, this corpse was a ten-year-old young man, but there was a throwing gun stuck in his back, his chest was burned by the flames, and he was wearing a golden snake pattern helmet on his hideous face before he died.

"Look at the patterns on these soldiers, they ...... It's my uncle's soldier, right?"
Ted looked back at the city once again - it was a big taboo to talk to the enemy commander before the battle! Just nodded slightly, "Exactly, Francis, the two armies clashed, and died without complaint, if you came to persuade him to surrender, there is no need to say more, please return!"
This sentence contained vindictiveness, big enough for Thomas on the city wall to hear.
Du Chen opened his mouth, and the words were held back in his mouth, as if he was really here to persuade him to surrender, but he was held back by Ted's words.
"Uncle, although the juniors in Lanning's death row were masked back then, I'm afraid you have already thought that it was the juniors who accidentally injured Helen, right?" Du Chen smiled bitterly guiltily, "I accidentally injured Helen that night, and the juniors have been uneasy, and today I ...... it."
Ted interrupted Du Chen, still didn't give him a chance to speak, and was still loud enough for Thomas and the Thorns to hear, "Our father and daughter went to save your eldest brother, but you were injured instead, this matter is indeed your fault! But Du Chenshen has rescued our father and daughter many times, as Du Chen's divine envoy, you don't have to take this matter to heart! Francis, whether you have a personal relationship before the battle, you should shut up!"
"It's okay, don't talk about these things in the past!" but ......" Du Chen looked at the corpses on the ground with pity, and the morale was lost, and the Ted family soldiers gathered around Ted, their eyes were full of horror and despair...... "I am glorious! Du Chen is merciful! My god Du Chen has mercy on the world! Uncle Ted, there are too many people who have died today, Francis is willing to follow the example of the heroes of the heroic era, fight with you alone, and save these ordinary soldiers from suffering!"
As soon as these words came out, Lia under Du Junyuan's door made a vomiting motion, and Thomas on the city wall pouted and smiled, and said in his heart, Master Brockman said that Francis was soft-hearted, and he was not wrong! But then, Thomas frowned, and he didn't know what was in his heart...... And the trapped soldier has no hope of survival, no matter what else he thinks, God, Francis, no matter what we think of you in the past and in the future, at this moment, we praise you, you are the greatest savior!
Such a thought is normal for people in desperate situations, but on the battlefield there is a strange atmosphere - the thorn soldiers actually look at the enemy commander with gratitude and admiration, Francis!
Helen raised her eyebrows, "Francis, I heard that your current strength is not inferior to that of the Pope Dragon God, and I will fight it alone...... Hmph, good thoughts!"
Ted smiled, "Well, if I can die at the hands of the eleventh-level fighting god, I, Ted, can be regarded as a well-deserved death!, but after I die, Helen, Su Lan, and my family soldiers will please entrust Your Excellency!" "The heads-up in the heroic era will make a contract before the battle, once someone dies in battle, then his subordinates will also put down their weapons, but the victor must promise not to kill and torture prisoners!"
Du Chen shook his head, "I am more vindictive than my uncle, if you and I fight fairly, won't the people of the world scold me for taking advantage of the danger of others? Uncle, if you can take my three moves, Francis will immediately order Du De to withdraw his troops!"
Ted chuckled in his heart, although level 10 was far inferior to level 11, it was not impossible to take three moves! In this case, if he lost, he just lost the battle that he should have lost, but he could win...... Looking back at Thomas, Ted smiled bitterly, victorious, although he saved his family soldiers, I am afraid there will be some trouble in front of Thomas!
To fight or not to fight?Thinking of the word 'family soldier', Ted jumped off his horse, "I can trust Your Excellency's promise, there is no need to make a contract, soldiers, give me a hundred zhang distance, the first move!"
Ted said to fight, and the heavy armor iron fist hit Du Chen in the air, although the move was simple, but behind Ted there was a rolling black cloud, majestic, I don't know how many follow-up killing moves were hidden in the black cloud!
"Is this going to war? Okay! Dude led his troops to withdraw from the hundreds!"
Du Chen snorted softly, and suddenly disappeared on the spot!
But the snowflakes suddenly fell on the valley of thorns that was like spring all year round, and the snow was very big, so big that outsiders couldn't see what happened between the two people in the duel, even if they used their fighting spirit, it was difficult to see clearly, it was Du Chen's passing snow!
In the battle circle, Du Chenqing took out the Passing Snow Sword, and a simple illusion avoided Ted's first move, seriously returned a move, and attacked another move, so that the two moves passed plainly.
Before the last move, the two of them stopped in unison, and Ted was overwhelmed by Du Chen's fighting qi in the second move, and he couldn't stop panting, and Du Chen was not far from him, and he raised the Passing Snow Sword again 'helplessly', "The third move!"
As he spoke, Du Chen's body and sword merged, turning into a streamer and stabbing at Ted, but just after rushing out two or three steps, the sword light suddenly trembled, split into two, and split into four...... In an instant, the sword light in the sky covered all the radius!
It was Du Chen who used the Zen Thread Lock for good thoughts in swordsmanship!
Ted looked at the sword light in the sky, gritted his teeth, and knew that there was no possibility of dodging it, so he shouted violently, and the black clouds on his body surged, and he rushed to meet it...... The outsiders only saw that layers of sword rain suddenly appeared in the snowflakes in the sky, and then the black clouds rolled, the sword clouds intertwined, and with a bang, the duel was over - but no one saw that at the moment when the victory was divided, a small sword light circled around Ted, and 'took' a few things from him, and put a few gadgets on him...... The heavy snow dissipated, and Du Chen in the circle was unharmed, his face seemed to be relieved, and he said with a smile: "Although Your Excellency is seriously injured, you have also taken my three moves, Du De, withdraw the troops!"
The morale-like Durkes beast army retreated like a tide, and in an instant, it retreated cleanly, leaving only a few squads to collect the dead comrades...... Ted, Helen, Sulan, and the remaining thousand or so soldiers were all stunned for a moment.
Is it over? There are no earth-shattering scenes, and there is no sorrow for life and death, just three simple moves, and it's just gone?
Ted half-knelt in the center of the battle circle, slowly took off the military helmet on his head, and suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and finally Du Chen's move really made him suffer a lot of injuries, and his left shoulder was pierced by a sword light, although it was not fatal, but it also needed to be recalled...... After a long time, those stunned soldiers suddenly shouted, "The head of the family has won, the head of the family has won the duel, we don't have to die!"
"Haha, don't die!"
"We don't have to die!"
And Du Chen had already walked to the gate, looked back at the cheering enemy soldiers, touched his nose and smiled, and said to Liya in front: "How did I behave?"
Liya pursed her lips and was unceremoniously, "Say it in three words - vulgar, sour, fake! It boils down to one word - contrived!"
Du Chen smiled, didn't say anything, and walked past Liya!
Leah suddenly chuckled, "But it's good to be 'pretentious', you want it...... That's the effect of 'contrived', right? Just now you asked me about the Dude Armor for a long time...... Take it, what's the catch?"
Du Chen looked up to the sky and sighed, "The one who gave birth to me, my father and mother, the one who knows me, Liya!" casually threw a gold medal to Liya, "According to what you said, the general armor of the demon system has four storage positions, and the left rib generally stores the talisman seal, No, this is Ted's talisman! But just take a look, I have asked Duss to hide on Ted secretly to protect his safety, you immediately go home with me with Qingyun, and we will invite Ted and his wife!"
...... Valley of Thorns, a modest military chamber in the city gate tower.
Smack, Thomas slapped the table hard, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of the performance of the talented Francis?"
Wu Dang Jiasen pursed his lips and sneered: "Pretentious!"
The other masters also nodded, "What Du Chenshen has mercy on the world, and what is emulating the heroes of the Heroic Era...... Do hum!"
Thomas glanced at Ted, who had not had time to remove his armor before he was called to a meeting, and smiled coldly, "So what does this kind of pretentiousness mean?"
The eighth master, Christen, replied: "Second uncle, there are only two possibilities, one is that Francis is this kind of person, soft-hearted and indecisive...... He's trying to find an excuse in every possible way, an excuse to put Ted back and not hurt Ted!"
Ted was angry, and subconsciously slapped the case, but he didn't want to involve the injury of his internal organs, so he gasped for a long time before saying: "Then you Crisson might as well say, I colluded with Francis inside and outside to betray the Valley of Thorns!"
Crison pursed his lips and didn't reply, but the meaning was clear—that's what I thought!
"Sit down!" Thomas drank coldly, "Everyone, let's recall today's battle, Francis appeared twice, the first time he said three words respectively, to make friends, to thank Du Chen, and finally to greet Helen for his brother......"
The four masters, who were evaluated by Avril as incompetent, immediately shouted: "I see, Ted has a deep personal relationship with Francis and Du Chenshen, and I heard that his eldest brother Steve is lustful, and he may have some personal affairs with the beautiful Helen......! It's a traitor!"
Everyone looked at him with disdain!
Cleison smiled and said, "Fourth Uncle, what you said makes sense, but what if you think about it further?" What if this is Francis's discord plan to make us suspect that Ted, the senior general in the army, is backing up?"
The four masters were stunned for a moment, and nodded again and again, "Yes, this is a discord plan, oops, the old man almost fell into the scheme!"
Kerison sighed helplessly, and said: "But Fourth Uncle, if you think about it deeply, if Ted really colludes with Francis, then, Francis's words that will be misunderstood as a discord plot are not protecting Ted in disguise, implying that those of us who can think of a discord plan - look, I'm framing Ted, so I must have nothing to do with Ted, right?"
The fourth master was dumbfounded for a long time, and the white-haired old man waved his fingers, "According to the eldest nephew, you say so, Ted still has a problem! This, this ...... I think about one step, how can the result be the same as if you think about three steps deeper!"
That's why it's often said that geniuses and fools often agree on their decisions!
The fourth master raised his head in confusion, "Then how can you tell if there is a problem with Ted?"
Thomas smiled coldly, "Fourth, it's very simple, let's look at the back - Francis came out again, this time he started to make a friendship and catch up, but Ted was busy telling him to shut up, it seems that Ted was afraid of our discord and misunderstood that he was ...... Francis"
The fourth master nodded, and finally got smarter, "According to what Cliffson's eldest nephew said, this is actually protecting Ted, and Ted is cooperating with Francis!"
Thomas smiled approvingly, "That's right! Then the two sides went to war, and we all saw the ability of God to change Dude, and we can also accept the casualty ratio of a few hundred people for three thousand! But the key is that there is a joke in the military -- go to one percent, drizzle, go to two percent, and then do it, but go to three percent, you have to breathe a sigh of relief, and go to four percent...... It's a broken muscle, and it can't be formed!"
The fourth master followed Thomas's words and said, "Well, Francis came out when Ted lost thirty percent of his soldiers and was about to break his bones, and that's a problem...... Well, the old man didn't say anything wrong this time!"
Everyone nodded together, and Thomas smiled: "Fourth, what you said is very reasonable! Next, Francis said that Du Chenshen is merciful, and he can't bear it, and imitates the heroic age, etc., and even the final duel...... It all shows that regardless of whether the discord plan is true or not, Francis doesn't want to see Ted's soldiers break their bones, it must be true!"
The fourth child suddenly realized, "I understand, I really understand! No wonder you say that there is something wrong with Francis's contrivedness...... Francis and Ted are connected, and today they are making a show for us, but Francis didn't do a good job, he was too contrived, so he showed his flaws!"
The fifth master frowned, "Second brother, I have two questions, if these two questions are solved, what the fourth brother said will be completely true-Ted is a traitor! First, we have not shown it, we have already sensed Ted's anti-will, so why is Francis busy playing to protect Ted? Second, we have only heard of Francis's character, but in fact, is he a man who is easy to pretentious?"
Thomas nodded, "That's a good question, the first question is easy to answer, although we sent Ted out to weaken the enemy's forces, but in the eyes of some people, this can also be misunderstood by me as sending Ted to his death and trying to get rid of Ted! I'm afraid General Ted thinks so yourself, right?"
Ted was so angry that he was already speechless, and Thomas said: "If Francis thinks so, then doesn't the first question raised by the fifth have an answer? He misunderstood that we wanted to get rid of Ted, so he hurriedly hinted that he had nothing to do with Ted!"
"The second question, I heard a friend say that Francis is too kind, and his recent behavior of not killing prisoners of war and sparing soldiers without fighting has also proved this, so it is very likely that Francis is not good at this kind of implied scheme, and it happened suddenly, so he made a mistake in his busyness, and he wanted to protect Ted, but he did too fake, so we can see the flaw!"
Analyzed logically one by one, Thomas, who was originally ordered by the demons to mislead everyone and kill Ted, suddenly found out, I damn it, is there really something wrong with Ted, I analyzed it right, Ted is really a traitor!
This is why Liya said that Du Chen is 'contrived'!
Suddenly, everyone's eyes were on Ted!
Ted was really speechless, took a few breaths, and said angrily: "Hypothesis, analysis...... It's all your assumptions and analysis! What is the real evidence!? The Lord of the Seine Valley and I have sworn that we will never fail each other, and you want to condemn me for the great crime of treason without such an iron evidence?"
Everyone was speechless, Thomas was also stunned, and said in his heart, now Senna is not dead, he is not the valley master, Ted and Helen led 7,000 soldiers nearby, the predecessor of these 7,000 soldiers is the Praetorian Guard, they are subordinate to the Seine Valley Lord's own soldiers, and he has no way to influence their actions! If you kill Ted based on analysis and reasoning alone, it is difficult to ensure that the 7,000 soldiers will not make trouble!
It's really not the time to kill Ted, take your time, anyway, a few masters have already decided that Ted is a traitor, and they just need to have real evidence, so why don't I make some 'real evidence' for Thomas?
Thinking of this, Thomas smiled, "Ted sit down, who said he was going to kill you? Just by reasoning, he killed the general indiscriminately, are you the kind of fool I Thomas is? Besides, you and I have been friends for more than a year, and I don't know who you are?! In this way, after all, you are suspicious, so you can temporarily recuperate in the inner city, do not fight, and do not participate in military discussions! But no one is allowed to treat you as a traitor, you are still the third master of the Valley of Thorns!"
Ted nodded, gritted his teeth and walked out of the hall, and as soon as he went out, he vomited out a mouthful of blood!
It's infuriating!
And in the old camp of the Du army, Du De was gently wiping the halberd, and his heart was hovering with two inexplicable words that Bai Yuli had said - the righteous father is really vicious, the discord plan can't kill people, and the double ring is not enough, but a 'contrived' duel has caused the Valley of Thorns to lose the strongest general, if I were Ted, I'm afraid I would have been so angry that I vomited blood!
Looking at the world, he can hand over the military power to one person, not holding a military talisman, not commanding arrows, and letting the generals under his command do their best, how many people can there be in the world for such a hero!?
This is Adams walking over and sincerely asking, "General, Engong has left, but Adams has something unclear, you said, is Engong using a discord trick today? But I don't look like it!"
Although Adams is a bandit, he is still very easy to learn, otherwise he would not have become the number one warrior in Dude's mouth so quickly!
Dude said lightly: "The father-in-law has taken a fancy to Dude!" explained all kinds of causes and effects clearly, and said: "Now the Valley of Thorns must have been suspicious of Dude, but there is no real evidence, and they don't dare to rush to kill Ted, who has seven thousand soldiers, but they will put Ted under house arrest! And the father-in-law's second-step plan for Ted...... Presumably it's already being implemented!"
Adam Siqi said: "If Engong wants to recruit Ted, then why not take his prisoner today, and then force him to surrender? Isn't that more direct?" In fact, Du Chen holds Ted's mother in his hand, and this is indeed more direct, but ...... Dude gave the reason, "Not to mention whether Ted was willing to surrender after being captured, but if the righteous father blatantly captured Ted, how would Bairu, who had seen the whole process with his own eyes, react? The righteous father killed Ted in front of Bairu, and he was reluctant to do so! If he didn't kill Ted, the Pope would definitely investigate it! So the righteous father could only do it in secret!"
Adams suddenly realized, thinking that he had gained something in his heart, but Dude followed and said: "Besides, do you think that the righteous father is only targeting Ted today?
Adams was stunned and hurriedly asked!
"The righteous father is planning to take all the people of the Thorn Valley, and now he suddenly disappeared, I'm afraid he went to find Duding! But the 200,000 people in the Thorn Valley, even if the righteous father captures all of them, will the people of the Thorn Valley honestly obey the righteous father?"
Adams shook his head. "This is impossible! Who would be truly obedient to the enemy who attacked their homeland!"
So from this day onwards, the Father-in-law wants to give the impression that Francis is a philanthropic man, and he follows him...... Maybe it's a good choice! Think about what your father-in-law is doing today, how will those enemy troops who escaped death think of your father-in-law, and how will the thorny people think of your father-in-law!?"
Seeing Adams nodding his head again and again, Dude approvingly in his heart, and pointed: "Then think about it again, if the stepfather wants to win the hearts of the people of Thorn Valley, what should he do next?
Adams pondered...... The battle is a matter of the afternoon, after beating Du Chen, he will return directly to Durks City, at the speed of Qingyun, he and Liya will come back when everyone eats supper, but Du Chen is not idle after coming back, and asked the cooking soldiers to carry a sumptuous supper, called boning, and went straight to the prisoner of war camp!
The friendly smile of the surname was on his face, and Du Chen waved in front of the prisoner of war camp!
Although the captives didn't have a good face, they didn't have much hostility, after all, Du Chen swore not to kill them in public, so their hatred for Du Chen was somewhat diluted!
"I've wronged everyone these days!" Du Chen said with a smile: "Don't worry, my god Du Chen is merciful, and he will never allow his followers to embarrass and take prisoners - if you put down your weapons, you will no longer be my Francis's enemy, but a lost child in the eyes of my god, come, everyone eat, let's talk!"
