"Boss, roast a portion of mutton, a portion of beef, and the beef does not need chili." A female voice came from the place where the stall was ordering.

The stall owner responded, "Okay, princess. ”

Nacian suddenly came back to his senses, turned his head and asked, "I remember someone said that there was only one princess here?" ”

The two ladies dressed as peasant women standing at the stall looked sideways at Nacian, but the stall owner smiled and said, "It seems that this guest has a good memory." ”

One of the ladies with red lips and white teeth spread out her feather fan to cover her mouth, and smiled shallowly, "It would be better if his eyesight was better." ”

A chill ran down Nacian's back.

He suddenly recognized it, it turned out to be the demon witch who led them out of the inn and sent the little fat cat to heal, the self-proclaimed "Woe Water Red Face" Hei Ningxue.

The woman standing next to her who looked so ordinary that she couldn't even find it in the crowd asked, "Do you know this guest?" ”

"Yes, Your Highness Princess." Hei Ningxue deliberately emphasized Lydia's identity, "This girl has been poisoned by a strange poison, so I am very impressed with her. ”

Nacian's eyes widened, but she didn't expect her to be Lydia who was standing on the review stand.

For Lydia and Black Snow, the other guests in the restaurant were used to it, and they were greeted as if they were two ordinary guests.

The two sat across from each other in Nasian's astonishment, chatting about their lives while leisurely nibbling on pieces of meat.

This meal made Father Shraf and the little fat cat sit on pins and needles, and they finally accepted to eat at the same table with a mad tsar, and now there is a princess of Shendu. The two of them involuntarily straightened their backs, as if waiting for the princess's summons.

Lydia casually asked, "Did you say this girl was poisoned?" ”

Hei Ningxue wiped her mouth, "Yes, it's a bit like black magic to be exact. ”

Lydia asked, "Are you sure it can be solved?" Do you need to take a look without a smile? ”

Hei Ningxue smiled, "Princess, don't underestimate me, I know some simple black magic." ”

Lydia put a large piece of beef in her mouth, "I don't doubt you, it's just that we're going to take Blue Rock City in a while, and it will be difficult to find him again." ”

Nacian couldn't help but interject, "Your Royal Highness...... Is it going to attack Blue Rock City? ”

Lydia was stunned for a moment, "I thought everyone knew. ”

According to common sense, Lydia's military movements should be kept strictly secret. But this attack on Blue Rock City was to fish out all the killers and assassins, so Lydia had already had the news spread in the city in advance.

At the same time, Fili was in charge of recruitment, Nick was in charge of drills, and Harry was raising a lot of armaments, all of which made the news seem more real.

Lydia even complained: If such a "rosemary" still doesn't believe it, then she can only kowtow to her.

Hei Ningxue put down her fork dignifiedly, "Bibisi has done a lot of evil, sacrificed human blood to prolong his life, colluded with the scum of the demon clan to kidnap the surrounding villagers as slaves, and also sent assassins to infiltrate here with the intention of assassinating the princess. Either one is a sin that deserves death. ”

Looking at her righteous and stern words, Naxi even forgot that she was once the "demon scum" in her mouth, and responded: "That's right, Bibith is indeed a damn guy." ”

"Don't forget the 'Demon Monks' Linton and Zahir." Hei Ning Xue said, "Their army is also stationed near Blue Rock City, if you don't defeat this place, how many more people will die?" ”

Nacian didn't dare to think about it.

Until now, when he closed his eyes, he could still see the village where he had previously lived in seclusion being flattened by Zahir's army.

Houses were burned, money was plundered, young men and women were chained in strings of ropes and wooden shackles, old men and children were killed in the streets, and corpses were piled up by the roadside for wild beasts to eat.

"Bibith, that guy, I really want to cut his throat with my own hands." A middle-aged man's voice came. Nacian looked up and saw that it was the speared man he had just fought was sitting at the table behind him.

He was now dressed in outcast's costume and did not wear a helmet, and a narrow scar could be clearly seen from his forehead to the corners of his mouth. He clenched his fists angrily, "My children, one is ten years old and the other is only five years old, they killed them like this. ”

With such a tragic evil deed, even Hei Ningxue, who often regarded herself as vicious, couldn't help frowning. Heaven is unkind, everything in the world is a dog, even a child is not immune.

Across from him sat a girl with a double ponytail, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with slightly reddened eyes. When she stretched out her hand, she realized that two fingers had been cut off from her left hand.

"It's a pity that I lost to that kid just now." She bit her lip and sighed, "There's no chance of joining the princess's escort now." ”

Convoys?

Lydia's expression as she chewed on the beef suddenly became strange.

She didn't like to have a large number of people behind her when she went out, not to mention that when she single-handedly rushed to kill the demon army, thousands of demon soldiers saw her and fled as fast as if they had seen death.

In a way, she's a formidable escort force herself.

Hei Ningxue smiled evilly beside her, "I'm sorry, I said that. ”

Lydia gave her a startled look, then quickly changed her eyes to a fierce look, and glared at her fiercely.

Hei Ningxue sneered, lowered her voice and whispered, "You've been assassinated so many times, shouldn't you adjust your strategy?" ”

Lydia's mouth was stuffed with beef, and she was speechless for a moment. Just looked at Hei Ningxue strangely, and thought: You are the one who let me go out alone to lure the assassins, and you are the one who wants to form the escort team, and you are a guy who does not suffer if you take both sides.

Hei Ningxue unfolded her fan and whispered in Lydia's ear, "Only by occasionally engaging in something new can you attract some capable people." ”

It seems that Hei Ningxue knows very well what it means to "there must be a brave man under the heavy reward".

The two people behind them didn't see Lydia and Hei Ningxue, and the middle-aged man raised his glass and comforted: "Don't worry, we have joined the army of the Red Pavilion, and we have the opportunity to go into battle to kill the enemy." Your father's and mother's enmity will be repaid. ”

The girl also raised her glass and said, "Thank you, I'll do my best, and so will you, big brother." ”

The two of them had the last drink, and then walked in the direction of the barracks with their things, apparently to report to the recruits.

"Bibith, it's really a blood debt." Nacian frowned and sighed.

Hei Ningxue smiled inadvertently, "He is not the only one who has a lot of blood debts, how many people in the upper echelons of the entire Wild Sand Empire have clean hands?" ”

"Don't overthink it." Lydia shoved the last piece of beef into her mouth, "When it's ready, I'll go and stab that Linton, Zahir, and Bibith to death." Wouldn't it be nice to let go of all the homeless? ”

"Why do you always think things so simply?" Hei Ningxue looked at Lydia with a grin, "How did your faith grow?" Photosynthesis? ”

Lydia almost squirted. After a few dry coughs, he said that for her: it was done.

.

Bibith, Linton, and Zahir wait in Blue Rock for the assassination of Lydia. It's a pity that what they are waiting for is one failed record after another.

One moment is that a certain squad is completely wiped out, another moment is a certain squad mysteriously disappearing, and another moment is a certain squad that is instantly subdued by a public murder.

Looking at the table full of news of the failure, the annoyed Bibith didn't know whether to reprimand the killers for being rice buckets, or the eyeliner who delivered the news was too conscientious.

Of course, as an aside, since Hei Ningxue's idea is to deceive "Rosemary" as much as possible, most of the things related to the assassination of Lydia are published in the newspapers.

In other words, that clever eyeliner might just buy a newspaper every day, copy a certain piece of news, and send the information to Bibith with a trained mouse.

In reality, it would be nice to have such an easy job, at least I don't have to be so hard to type my fingers on the computer every day.

Back to the angry Bibith. At this moment he was angrily slapping the table and cursing loudly: "Waste! It's all rubbish! ”

Zahir looked at Linton with some panic, but fortunately Linton remained calm: "It seems that we can't pin all our hopes on 'rosemary'. ”

He got up and looked out the window at the night, and suddenly asked Zahir: "How's the conscription going?" ”

"5,000 infantry have been recruited and training is underway recently. But if you want to build up combat power, it may take some time......"

Linton nodded expressionlessly, "I heard that they are planning to attack them, have you thought of a countermeasure?" ”

Zahir thought for a moment, "Our infantry is relatively weak, but the archers we brought before didn't do much damage, so we can consider arranging more bow and arrow fire points on the city." We also have a squad of Psychologists that can be cross-arranged with archers. ”

Linton pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "I heard that the Red Pavilion has many tactics and tricks, and I am afraid that this level of defense will not be effective. ”

"I have a plan, I wonder if General Linton is interested?" Bibith stood up suddenly, but there was a treacherous glint in his eyes.

Linton paced slowly for a few steps, and when he heard this, he stopped: "If the Red Pavilion calls, we won't be able to catch the laborers and can't explain to the 'Protector of the Nation', and this Blue Rock City is estimated to be destroyed." Since we are in the same boat, Jazz's plan must be beneficial to all of us. ”

"It's good, haha, of course it's all good." Bibith swept away the decadence and annoyance just now, and said with a grim smile, "Do the two generals know the whereabouts of Hamid, the seventh prince?" ”

How could he still care about such a thing?

Zahir replied cautiously, "I have only heard that he secretly left the Imperial City with the court physician Akira and went to the 'Seed Desert' in the west. Over there is the territory of the 'Eighteen Tribes', and I don't know what his purpose is. ”

"How can anyone not know his purpose." Bibisi sneered, "If it weren't for his support, how could the Eighteen Tribes survive to this day?" Those barbarian sand people, conservatively estimated to be twenty or thirty thousand - if you had 20,000 private soldiers, what would you think? ”

All three were silent at the same time.

After a long time, Linton said faintly, "Raise troops to respect yourself, or raise troops to rebel?" ”
