Philip's naked humiliation made Dailie's body tremble uncontrollably, and she felt a fire burning in her heart.

Fear and humiliation, two complex emotions intertwined. Dai Li finally raised her head and looked at Philip: "Mr. Philip, may I ask, are you going to kill us?"

Philip didn't speak.

Deli struggled to calm herself...... Suddenly, a strange thought occurred to her: perhaps, in the face of the unreasonable General 205, her words and tactics were ineffective—after all, it was impossible to be reasonable with barbarians.

But this Philip is from the civilized world! He should have scruples, and he will not do things without recklessness.

"If you decide to kill us, then please!" Dai Li tried her best to make her voice sound colder and calmer: "But don't forget, today, here, after your butcher's knife falls, then the first thing you have to do when you go back is to rebel immediately! Fight the entire empire with the power of one province! I believe that even if the Tulip family is strong, in the end, you are just the next Northwest Legion!"

Philip smiled.

He felt that the girl in front of him was indeed a little remarkable. Even though she looked a little scared, a little frightened, she was able to keep her composure to say these words. And...... As a chick. The first time I got yīn to plot a trick, I almost let myself be fooled, which is already good.

"Alright, General Longbottom, put away your sword, it will frighten the noble lady. This quote from Philip. Miss Dai Li breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. But in the next moment, Philip's words re-energized her heart that she had just put down.

"But, Miss Delly, I think you know why I'm here...... I'm not a big fan of blood, but when I need to kill someone, I won't be soft-hearted either. ”

Philip walked up to the three captives who were kneeling on the ground, looked at them for a while, and said coldly: "They are the three fugitive slaves who ran out of the city of Gilliat...... Miss Dailie. You've done a good job this time. ”

When things came to this, Dai Li was quite straightforward, since she couldn't escape, she didn't hesitate. Very crisp. He confessed the whole thing.

Philip listened quietly, and it was about the same as he expected: "Well, so to speak, the garrison officers in the city of Big Ears have also been bought by you? Hmph, yes, you can think of using this method to infiltrate the city of Gilliat as a slave." But Philip still has one more question, that is. Even if it blends into the city of Gilliat. However, the production process there is divided into several processes. These three people, according to the information. Each one of them has been mixing in different procedures over the course of several months, so it is indeed possible to piece together a complete process technology...... However, whether it is gunpowder or a broomstick. They are all extremely complicated things, and it can be said that the average person, even if he is told to him, he does not understand.

"These three people are all magical talents cultivated in the family...... They all have magical apprenticeship qualifications. Dai Li confessed honestly.

Philip raised his eyebrows: "Hmph, it's really courageous! I actually sent three valuable magic apprentices to pretend to be lowly slave prisoners and infiltrate our base camp." ”

At this point, there is no doubt about it. Dai Li thought about it for a while, and then said, "Mr. Philip, I admit defeat in this matter." I can hand over these three people to you, and your secrets will not be revealed. But I still have to warn you that it is useless for you to kill me here. It can only lead to forcing your duke to a dead end! Civilized people should follow the rules of the game of civilized people. ”

Philip smiled: "Oh, what are the rules of the game of civilization you refer to?" When Miss Dai Li said this, she calmly: "We are only two women, and there is no benefit in killing us." Besides, I don't think the Duke wants to be charged with murdering the princess and princess. And...... I assure you that I have not transcribed a copy of your secrets. If you don't believe me, you can search your body. ”

As she spoke, she spread her arms. This action is indeed a bit seductive, the girl's full body, wrapped in a close-fitting long skirt, and the rockery her expression at the disposal of the king.

But Philip just smiled: "Miss Daily, I believe you didn't copy it. If you want to get our weapons secrets, you just want to improve your own strength, but if the secrets are leaked and everyone on the mainland knows about them, then they will be of no value. Don't worry, I won't let you be searched. ”

"Then let me and the princess go back. Dai Li said lightly: "This time, I admit defeat." The two families compete, and victory and defeat are common things. Mr. Philip, you're not going to start a full-scale war for the sake of a single friction, are you?"

Philip was smiling: "That's right, any family struggle has a back and forth. Full of compromise and tolerance. If there was a full-scale war after one friction, then the major families on the continent would have been killed long ago. But Miss Delly, why should I let you go?"

Dai Li opened her mouth: "You ......"

"I'm sure you didn't transcribe it, but I think you should have memorized this secret. Miss Deli, do you think I'm a fool? If I were you, I would have slaughtered these three guys a long time ago!" Philip sneered: "I believe even more that the legendary talented Miss Deli is not only accomplished in art! I think that since your family can cultivate your own magical talents, then Miss Deli, you should also have certain attainments in the field of magic! The recipes and secrets of those magical weapons." Ordinary people can't understand it even if they read it. But you, for a man of great accomplishment in the field of magic. You. It must have been memorized, right?"

Dai Li's face was pale. Philip said coldly: "You deliberately left these three live mouths on the road, but you thought of it a long time ago, and it is likely that we will catch up all the way after we detect it." You've already figured out that in this place in the northwest, you can't escape! If we catch up. You just make a gesture of admitting defeat and give us the three alive. Then say a few words, pat your noble ass, and you can swagger away, right? Anyway, as long as the secrets are recovered, we have no reason to kill you and the noble princess! This is your last dependence-Miss Delly, if I am wrong, can you please point it out?"

Dai Li was speechless.

Philip's words, word by word, were like a sharp sword, pierced her heart! Philip guessed perfectly!

Dai Li has indeed received magic learning since she was a child, and she herself has quite a lot of magical knowledge, but because of her talent, she can't learn magic. However, he obtained the basic attainments of a magic apprentice.

So. When the three of them brought the secret back, she immediately asked for all the recipes, and the recipes were already in her mind! Keeping these three people and taking them on the road, it was indeed just like Philip said, she was also calculated, most likely she would be detected and hunted by the other party, but because of her own identity, as long as she handed over the people at that time. The other party would never dare to really kill himself. And themselves. You can also leave with a secret recipe that you have completely mastered in your head!

With a faint mocking smile, Philip looked at Dai Li, whose face was pale: "Respected princess." Now that I've guessed it, do you think I'll let you go back?"

After speaking, Philip had already ordered in a low voice: "Come on, Miss Dai Li is invited to get into the carriage, and then, please two distinguished ladies to go back to Loulan City with us!"

"You ......" Dai Li was really scared now: "Philip, you detain the princess and princess, do you think this matter can be kept secret?"

Philip smiled: "I didn't think I could keep it a secret. ”

With that, as soon as he waved his hand, several soldiers pounced, and without saying anything, stuffed Dairi into the carriage and closed the door. Two more soldiers took the driver's seat, drove the carriage, turned around and went back to Loulan City.

Dai Li in the car looked pale, and Princess Louise next to her was calm at the moment, and just sighed softly: "Dai Li......"

"What?" replied reluctantly.

"I think of my brother, Tatsu, who said something to me back then. ”

"What?"

Princess Louise said lightly: "He once said to me: In this world, there are some games that only men can play on the ground, and women are better not to participate in them." ”

After saying this, the princess simply leaned back in the cushion, closed her eyes, and did not look at her at all. Philip's face gradually sank as he returned to Loulan City under tight protection, and Longbottom walked over next to him: "Philip, what now?"

"Hey, don't think I'm really a fool!" Longbottom leaned in and whispered, "I'm a bit bolder, but I also know what's at stake!

Philip smiled bitterly: "Do you know Longbottom, I am not afraid of an enemy who is very clever or stupid. I'm only afraid of one kind of person...... "Huh?

Longbottom was a little puzzled. Not afraid of stupid enemies, of course, easy to understand. The more stupid the enemy, the easier it is to deal with. But why is it that you are not afraid of a clever enemy?

"Because a really smart enemy often leaves some room for maneuver in things! He will not do things in an end! In this way, even if everyone ends up stiff, they will not lose both sides and break the net. That's what smart people do. But...... But I am afraid of one kind of person. ”

"Which one?"

Philip smiled bitterly: "It's a little girl like Dai Li! This kind of person is a little clever, but also a little stupid." Smarter than a really stupid person, but a little more stupid than a really smart person. It's just a second-rate IQ, but he makes serious mistakes on key issues, and in the end he will drag himself and the enemy into hell!"

He looked at Philip and patted the general on the shoulder hard: "If this chick didn't keep the recipe in her head." Or rather, she doesn't know magic. Then this recipe can't be understood by ordinary people at all! But she is stupid, relying on her identity, and reciting the formula in her heart. As a result, I didn't want to arrest her, but I had to arrest her and go back! This is called stupidity! Because she doesn't understand that politics is a game of mutual compromise! This stupid way of hers, leaving no room for things, has driven herself and us to a dead end!"

After saying this, Philip deliberately pulled Longbottom, falling behind the large army, seeing that there was no one around, Philip lowered his voice and said to Longbottom seriously: "General, now I want to say a few words to you, these words are not formal orders, just words between some colleagues." ”

Longbottom's eyes flashed: "Say it." Philip's face sank, but his tone was unprecedentedly solemn: "I can tell you without hesitation, General, that we are in big trouble this time! This damn woman, because of her cleverness, is likely to push both the enemy and our families to the edge of the cliff! So, although the Duke is not in the palace now, and we cannot get any orders and instructions from him, I personally have a little suggestion that I would like to tell you." ”

Philip said this, deliberately paused for a moment, then he stared into Longbottom's eyes, gritted his teeth, and said a word that made the hearts of the two of them tremble!

"Prepare for war!"

The muscles in the corners of Longbottom's eyes jumped, and he looked at Philip, and he saw only decisiveness in the eyes of this weak young man!

Philip said in a deep voice: "After I go back, I ask you to immediately assemble the family's army and prepare for war, I will also deploy relevant materials, and at the same time, for our military fortresses on the eastern front, increase the defensive strength, and all the family armies will be ready for combat ......."

The two men were silent. After a long time, Philip looked at the sky and sighed: "I hope these preparations of ours don't really come in handy." Because now, it's not the right time. ”
