Chapter 57 The Foursome
Caesar was indeed not in the conference hall. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Elaine sent him an invitation, explained the current situation in the imperial capital, and even told him some details that were inconvenient to explain in the conference hall, but Caesar did not come.
In fact, Caesar was not in the heart of the Sur-Ha war zone at all, he was crouching down the side of the street on the edge of the war zone, holding a piece of freshly baked cream cake in his hand, slowly enjoying it.
The town is no longer technically part of a war zone, and due to the small population and the lack of resources and war value, this town hidden in the mountains has a hint of peacetime.
Behind Caesar stood two men, both of his captives.
On the left is a tall middle-aged man with a typical forest clan physique, with a vicissitudes of life, half of his face is handsome enough to make the girls and aunts of the forest clan scream, and the other half of his face is ruined by a hideous scar, it is none other than the former leader of the forest clan's rebel party, Landry.
He looked peaceful, Caesar did not seal his power, in other words, he stood here, and still retained the strength of the legendary powerhouse.
Standing on the right is Caesar and a member of the Bauhinia Army, a battle mage who led all the way south, Barbara.
The two captives, one on the left and one on the right, watched their captives squatting in front of them, eating cake a little unfiguratively, this picture is indeed a bit strange, attracting frequent sideways glances from passers-by.
Of course, the most complicated face is the girl standing in front of Caesar.
Long Qiqi has changed a lot, she has lost weight, and on her beautiful and youthful face, she has lost her original childishness and innocence, and has a lot of weather.
She was carrying her bags and dressed for a trip.
"I'm going back to the imperial capital. She looked at Caesar in front of her for a long time, and finally said softly, "Thank you very much for saving me in the Battle Dynasty, and thank you for protecting me and all of us on the way south." But now, I'm leaving, the imperial capital is in a hurry, my grandfather, my parents, and my family are all there, and I can't stay here anymore. ”
Caesar was stunned for a moment, lifted his face from the cake, and asked, "Are you in such a hurry?"
Long Qiqi looked at the face in front of her now, which was completely different from the one in her memory, and for some reason she was a little sad, lowered her eyelashes, and said, "Yes, I am about to leave and I am here to say goodbye to you." ”
"Aren't you with Elaine and Nono?" asked Caesar.
Long Qiqi was silent for a moment, and her words became a little hoarse: "I don't think that the people in this war zone will go to the imperial capital to support soon." ”
"Oh, why?" Caesar finished his last bite of cake and stood up.
Long Qiqi looked into Caesar's eyes and said word by word: "Because, you are the real leader of this war zone now, when the imperial capital is in an emergency, you look at what you are doing? You don't want to support the imperial capital at all, right? You still hold a grudge against the military department about you being wanted? If you don't want to go, Lady Elaine and Nuno will not go." ”
Caesar didn't speak, but carefully folded the leftover cake wrappers and threw them aside.
Before the piece of paper hit the ground, Landry behind him stretched out his hand and pointed at it, and the piece of paper spontaneously rose out of thin air, and finally there was not even a trace of ash left.
Long Qiqi looked at Caesar, then at Landry and Barbara behind Caesar, and finally at Caesar's face, which was handsome, but unfamiliar, and devoid of urgency.
Long Qiqi took a breath and asked, "So, are you really Caesar?"
"Of course. ”
"Aren't you in a hurry?" Long Qiqi said, "No matter what the military department does to you, at least me, Nuonuo, and the pit father, we are all your friends." ”
Caesar shook his head helplessly: "I'm sorry, I have some special circumstances now, and I can't remember many things." ”
"What about Teacher Lan, she is now on the plain of despair outside the imperial capital, both the north and the south want what she has in her hands, she is very dangerous, aren't you in a hurry?" Long Qiqi raised her voice.
It can be seen that when Caesar heard Teacher Lan, he seemed to be stunned for a moment, and the emotions in his eyes were a little strange, touched, and a little confused.
But in the end, he said, "I'm sorry, I still have a lot of memories to recover." ”
Long Qiqi looked at Caesar blankly, and suddenly felt indescribably tired.
She didn't know what happened to Caesar, she only knew that her heart was hurting now, and she wanted to ask: "Then, do you remember, I said I liked you in the dragon road?"
But in the end, she didn't say it, because she didn't need to ask, she had the answer.
Tears flowed uncontrollably, and the pride in Long Qiqi's heart made her reluctant to say more, ask more, and even let Caesar see her tears.
She waved her hand, turned and walked away.
But a strong palm held her firmly.
Long Qiqi turned around, and in her hazy vision, there was Caesar's somewhat helpless face, as well as the palm of his arm grabbing it. At this moment, Long Qiqi could feel the breath of the former Caesar, transmitted to his body through the heat of his palm.
"Why are you pulling me?" asked Long Qiqi in a sinister voice.
Caesar looked at the tear-eyed girl in front of him, a little crying and laughing, he knew that he didn't use his strength in his hands, if the girl really wanted to leave, he could leave with a shake of his hand.
But the woman seems to be like this, feeling that the act of reaching out and holding her has already eliminated most of the unhappiness in Long Qiqi's heart? But on the surface, the girl still has to make a posture of "you don't keep me".
Caesar pondered his words and said slowly: "My current situation is a bit difficult to describe, I don't remember the facts, there is nothing to deny, but not only do I not remember many things between me and you, I don't even remember my own affairs. So...... Don't be upset, okay?"
Long Qiqi wiped her tears, her little face was a little flowery, and she said angrily: "Which eye of yours saw me sad?"
Caesar smiled and continued: "Look, you just said so much, the imperial capital is in a hurry, you have to go back, I will definitely not help, or something...... But actually, you should ask me what I think. ”
"Who cares what you think!" Long Qiqi glared at Caesar, paused and said, "Then what do you think?"
Caesar let go of the hand holding Long Qiqi and said calmly and seriously: "Look at the two behind me, Barbara is a person who is a battle mage, I have her in my hands, and the team in the battle mage has always been called the Bauhinia Army, and it will definitely come to me." And Landry, although I only kept his life to ask about some things about the Forest King, and it has nothing to do with the current Forest Clan, but in fact, if he is in my hands for a day, the current Forest Clan must consider my thoughts and will. ”
Speaking of this, Caesar paused, spread his hands, and smiled: "As for Lady Elaine, I don't need to say anything in particular, she will also watch my actions." I don't quite understand the reasoning yet, but she's completely on my side now. ”
"So what?" Long Qiqi vaguely understood what Caesar meant, but was not sure yet.
"So, I'm a Banner now, I don't need to speak, because my actions will directly affect the three parties of the Battle Dynasty, the Forest Clan, and Earth Street, which is why I have always brought Landry and Barbara with me. ”
Long Qiqi looked at Caesar's smiling face, and remembered the geographical location of this town - the edge of the Surha war zone, the edge!
Then, there was a realization in her eyes: "Caesar, you...... You're actually ...... Also going to the imperial capital?!"
"Yes. Caesar nodded honestly, looking innocent, "I just planned to have a dessert before I left, can't I?"
Long Qiqi couldn't help but feel angry when she heard this, but she didn't notice that the strangeness and sadness and frustration just now were all gone at this moment.
Caesar made it clear that his actions would directly affect the three parties, and he didn't need to go to the meeting at all.
Just like ten days ago, he came to the Surha war zone in advance, opened the situation with lightning speed, and then let the follow-up troops led by Elaine follow.
This time, he also planned to set off first and go to the core battlefield of the imperial capital in advance, and the forces of the Surha Theater would naturally follow.
This decision was made by Caesar ten days ago, and it has nothing to do with whether the imperial capital is in a hurry or not.
Caesar went south this time to solve doubts, but also to grasp power, including his own strength, and the power he held in this world.
It is inevitable to go to the emperor, and Caesar has been going there from the beginning.
"Let's go, then. Caesar patted his clothes and smiled and held out his hand to Long Qiqi.
Long Kiki didn't immediately stretch out her hand, but suddenly thought of something and asked, "Landry and the Forest Clan, Barbara and the Battle Mage, Elaine and Earth Street...... Then I'm going with you now, do you think of me as a point involving the military department again? You have all the characters of all the forces in your hands!"
Long Qiqi's thoughts are very logical, and if the answer is yes, she really thinks Caesar has changed a lot.
Caesar shook his head this time and said, "According to my limited memory, when it comes to national affairs, General Long doesn't treat you as a granddaughter at all, and you can't represent the military department." ”
"......" Long Qiqi was speechless for such a big truth, and she didn't know what to think.
In fact, there is one thing that Long Qiqi didn't ask, and he didn't expect to ask, that is, why Caesar chose to set off early and not act with the large army after he already had the control of the entire Surha theater of operations.
Caesar knew it in his own heart.
He knows that his greatest shock to this world now comes from his strength on the one hand, and more importantly, from the unknown and mystery in him.
Is there a greater unknown in this world than many things that you can't figure out yourself? Caesar can't figure out himself, and others don't want to figure it out.
Therefore, to act together with the large forces in the theater of operations is tantamount to putting oneself on the bright side, which is tantamount to giving up one's greatest advantage.
Caesar, who acted with the Surha theater of operations, was not terrible.
Caesar, who thought he would act with the Surha War Zone, but suddenly appeared on the plain of despair outside the imperial capital in advance was really able to bring the shock and impact he wanted to bring to the world.
As for some of the indifference and ruthlessness that Caesar showed before, it wasn't that he really forgot Long Qiqi and forgot Nono.
In fact, he had recovered some of his memories, and he knew in his heart that these people were his friends, and he still remembered the feeling of warm friendship that he had had.
It's just that now is not the time to love each other hand in hand.
Caesar came with a mission in his head, and behind the mission was a growing sense of crisis that he himself could not say. He vaguely knew that the sense of crisis came from his experience in the Northland, but Caesar still had no memory of what happened at the end of the Black Wing War in the Northland.
A group of four quietly disappeared into the streets of the town, heading in the direction of the imperial capital.
Shuttling between the mountains, Caesar silently thought of a name mentioned by Long Qiqi just now.
"Teacher Lan......" He was a little confused, as if he was blinded by something, "Whose teacher? )
