Of course, Mrs. Swallow didn't know that Xiaoyue was already pulling the thread for her, sitting on the edge of the couch and looking at the sleeping little Tuying stupidly, her eyes were full of tenderness, and she reached out and gently stroked the red and tender little face, and a gentle smile floated to the corner of her lips!
At this time, there was a sound of small footsteps on the narrow corridor outside the door, and when she heard it, the footsteps had stopped at the door, and then there were a few pecks, "Xiaoyue." "It's West Asia who is talking, since Tusu and the others left, in order to take care of Xiao Tuying more conveniently, he moved to Qingyuan and lived near Xiaoyue. There was no one in the house to answer, which made Xia Xia a little confused: just now it was obviously Xiaoyue who sent the maid to say that there was something to do with him, why is there no one now?
Just when he was secretly wondering, the door had been gently opened, revealing Mrs. Swallow's beautiful face that was somewhat similar to Xiao Yue, but compared with Xiao Yue, she was obviously much more mature and charming, especially the complexion was white and tender like clotted cream, which was impeccable.
For a moment, Xia was a little embarrassed and stunned, he blushed, and said, "It turned out to be Madame, just now Xiaoyue said that she had something to discuss with me, so she came to bother." β
Mrs. Yanzi suddenly understood what her sister's idea was? Secretly sighed, sighed slightly, and said dignifiedly: "Lord Xia Xia, then please come in, this lady doesn't dare to take care of it, and I will ask my lord to take care of it in the future." After speaking, he turned sideways to give way.
Xia is also a person who understands, and he also knows Mrs. Swallow's past, and while secretly scolding himself for being confused, he walked into the hall, and before he took his seat, he smiled lightly: "Speaking of which, we are all a family, this lady." Adults are too polite. If you don't mind. Just call them by name. β
Madame Swallow brushed the hair on her sideburns with her hand, and said with a smile indifferently, "That's very good." β
After quietly taking a seat, Sia Luo said a little confused: "What about Satsuki?"
Mrs. Swallow also sat down opposite Sia, slowly and elegantly added a cup of tea to Sia, and said slowly as she poured it, "Xiaoyue is going to prepare for supper." β
"Uh!" Sia replied after respectfully taking the tea that had been moved, not knowing what to say, he could only pick up the teacup and decorate it lightly. The atmosphere is a bit awkward!
With some surprise and surprise, Mrs. Yanzi didn't expect that Xia Xia would have such a shy and cramped side, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but float a smile, but she disappeared in an instant, and said in a deep voice: "General, Linghu Gongzi told me about his intentions, I don't know what you think?"
Xia didn't expect that Mrs. Swallow would be such a sensitive topic as soon as she opened her mouth, and her hand holding the teacup froze slightly, hesitating about how to answer.
Mrs. Swallow knew that he was still a little defensive in his heart, so she opened her words: "When are you going to fight the fortress?"
The hand holding the cup does not move at all. Xia turned sideways and said calmly, "Do you have anything good to build?"
A deep smile. Mrs. Swallow knew that she had to show some real skills in order to make the man in front of her look high, and also to fight for some bargaining chips for her future position. To tell the truth, on the way to Crowe City, she had been thinking about this question, and she already had the answer in her heart, and said softly: "I know very little about the battlefield, but what are some humble opinions to ask the general for advice?"
Putting down the teacup, Sia said sincerely: "Listen to me." β
Standing up slowly, after pacing a few steps, Lady Swallow turned to stare at Sia and said resolutely, "Give up Crow City." β
Xia was stunned, not surprised by the content of Mrs. Yanzi's construction, but surprised that she was able to propose this construction, and said with a little surprise: "Even, let's listen to it." β
Mrs. Swallow smiled indifferently, from the change in Xia Xia's expression, she knew that Xia Xia had not thought about this matter, and calmly analyzed: "Crow City, now it is chicken ribs, the food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it." First of all, there is food, the food shortage in the empire has risen, and the city of Crow will be affected, and the hundreds of thousands of residents in the city, with the foundation of the Falcon Division, cannot afford to support it. The second is the army, Crow City is a battleground for soldiers, there are too many troops that need to be stationed, not to mention the Kotru Empire, even if there are more than 100,000 imperial soldiers stationed outside the East City, they can make the Falcon Division unable to move, so the Falcon Division seems to occupy Crow City, but it is actually trapped to death by Crow City. Finally, it's the form, I don't know what method you use to make the empire tolerate yourself occupying Crow City, but I believe that this time will not be too long, when the time comes, they force themselves into the city, do you fight or not? After all, the other party is a famous division, and Crow City is still under the Mingsi Empire, unless you start anew now, otherwise what will the soldiers under you think, even if the soldiers are willing to fight, what about the people in the city?"
Xia Xia was completely stunned, every word that Mrs. Swallow said cut into his heart, that's right, Crow City seems to be calm, but in fact it is already in danger, but this danger, how many people can see it? So, he said with admiration: "Xiao Yue has surprised me very much, I didn't expect you." Speaking of this, he paused, his eyebrows were tangled, and he said in a deep voice: "Yes, the questions you said are all zΓ i, but have you thought about it, if this Crowe City is handed over, it will be difficult to recapture it in the future." β
Madame Swallow also knew that this was West Asia's biggest concern, and said with the same gloomy eyes: "But what if you don't hand it over? Now for the Falcon Division, the capture of the fortress can give the Falcon Division a greater living space and opportunity, if you don't give up Crow City, how many available troops do you have in your hands? Not to mention, attacking the fortress is not a matter of one or two days, and your logistics can keep up? With all due respect, within two months, Crow City should be out of food, and you can't leave if you want to." β
Chief Xia sighed, this was also the most worrying thing in his heart, but he also had his own considerations, and after thinking about it, he said cautiously: "For today's plan, only by taking the fortress as much as possible can there be a glimmer of life." β
"You're gambling. Madame Swallow said unceremoniously: "Even if the Falcon Division takes the fortress in a short period of time, the loss must be huge, not to mention, you are not afraid of being stabbed in the back?"
Xia was speechless for a while, he was not without this concern, although Ah Jue and the prince had an agreement, but this was private after all, not to mention. Even if it's a real contract. In the face of huge interests. There will be a few people who will comply, and he can't expose his flaws to allies he doesn't trust, which is why he has been undecided. To tell the truth, as long as the old man and others cooperated, he was sure that he would be able to capture the fortress in a short time, but as Madame Yanzi said, what if the prince suddenly shortened his back road? War is not child's play, and there is no room for any mistakes. I can't hold a trace of luck, how many of them can win?
Lady Swallow stared at Sia who was contemplating her eyebrows, and did not speak for the time being. She knew that Sia must be more meticulous and comprehensive than herself, but it was the so-called authorities who were confused and bystanders who were clear, and it was this kind of meticulousness and comprehensiveness that made the young man in front of her, who was absolutely talented in military affairs, fall into a dilemma.
After a while, Sia said slowly: "But if we abandon Crow City according to your opinion and lose the logistics support, what else can we do to capture the fortress." You know, it's freezing right now. The resources consumed are several times greater than in the past. β
Madame Swallow doesn't know how to fight, but when it comes to materials, it is definitely her specialty, and she immediately said the way she thought of on the way here: "This is also one of the reasons for giving up Crow City, we can exchange Crow City with the Empire for materials, I think, no matter how difficult it is for the Empire now, in order to retake Crow City, the Empire is willing to pay this price." β
Holding a wry smile, Xia shook his head and said: "This won't work at all, Ah Jue, he will never trade with Crow City, he, unlike you and me, attaches great importance to affection, the residents of Crow City treat my Falcon Division well, how can he make the residents of Crow City cold, it may be possible for him to give up Crow City, but let him trade with Crow City, it is absolutely impossible." With his thoughts full of thoughts, he inadvertently classified himself and Mrs. Yanzi into the same category, and at the same time, he didn't notice the language disease in his words.
Madame Swallow was also immersed in the huge plan, and did not notice this, what she just said was only the first choice made with her shrewdness as a businessman, in fact, she also knew in her heart that Yi Linghu's character might not accept it, and as Sia said, doing so would chill the inhabitants of Crow City, and also damage the reputation of the Falcon Division, which would be detrimental to the future great cause. So, she said the second thought she had prepared: "In this case, we will exchange with the inhabitants of the city, and exchange them with grain for winter supplies in their hands, whether it be quilts, animal skins, or even forage." You can gain fame while exchanging for supplies, what do you say?" she was excited, but she also unconsciously brought herself and Xia together.
Xia shook her head with a wry smile and said, "What Xiaoyue said is right, you are really shrewd, and if you can't ask for profit, you will seek fame." Yes, this does allow us to exchange for supplies, but what about the food? What about the food that we exchange for?"
Only then did Madame Swallow remember that she had not yet told SΓΉ Xia about the food she had hidden, and said with a slight smile: "I have food, although it is not much, only millions of catties, but it is enough for us to exchange the materials we need." β
As soon as Xia heard that there was food, and there were millions of catties, he immediately jumped up from his chair and hurriedly said with a slight gaffe: "You, what you said is true?"
Madame Swallow nodded solemnly and said, "The day after tomorrow, you send some people to contact my people, if it goes well, within a month, the grain will be able to be transported to Crow City." β
With a big jump in his heart, Xia Xia was ecstatic and circled around the table a few times, and at this moment, he really thought about Madame Swallow's abandonment of Crow City.
After a while, the two of them began to talk about the details with great interest. Maybe the two of them were too focused, and they didn't even hear the sound of Xiao Yue, who was already standing outside the door, covering her mouth and snickering!
At this time, Linghu Jue rushed towards Cro City under the heavy snow, and the falling goose feather snow turned into a cloud of mist after touching the faint aura circle emitted by the Moyun Immortal Crane. In the howling of the cold wind, Linghu Jue seemed to be beaten by iron, his eyes stared at the front for a moment, he longed to be able to fly over the city of Crow City immediately, this baptism of blood, brought him endless grief at the same time, it seemed to have sharpened him stronger, more rough training.
There was a tragic sound of trumpets mixed with the neighing of horses, and the continuous campfire at the bottom of his feet, which made him realize that this was the place where he had fought bloodily. Looking down sideways, the night blocked his vision, but it couldn't stop his thoughts, because here, one of his brothers, Wesley, was also buried!
But this short glimpse, when I gazed again, it was already a mile away, the campfire was still there, but the mood was even more gloomy
The Moyun Immortal Crane was already flying at the limit speed, and the Linghu on its back seemed to have forgotten to rest, to sleep, and its body seemed to be suppressing a stream of heat, as long as the pressure disappeared, it was going to be surging and surging, wild and agitated. Therefore, he could only press hard, whether it was early in the morning, or dusk, whether it was snowing or slightly sunny, he did not dare to relax at all.
It wasn't until two days later that the Crowe City, like a giant beast of the plains, appeared in his sight, that he breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and for a while, he didn't feel a sour feeling at the end of his nose, his heart was beating, the blood flow was speeding up, and even the hand that patted the Moyun Immortal Crane was trembling slightly.
The clouds of ink fell, and it knew what a shock it would be if it appeared above the city!
After landing, Ling Hu Jue put away the ink cloud, and at the same time released the fierce flame, the fierce flame seemed to understand the grief in Ling Hu Jue's heart, and the bright eyes like red diamonds looked at Ling Hu Jue comfortingly, full of a sense of comfort. Linghu couldn't help but feel it, caressing the mane of the flame lovingly, and muttered: "You won't leave me, right?" After speaking, he jumped up, the flame hissed lightly, and the sparks splashed everywhere, like a dragon riding the wind and clouds, and stepped away like thunder and lightning, and it was gone in an instant!
At this time, it was almost dusk, and the north wind swept through the wilderness with a helpless whistle, but Ling Hu Jue did not realize it at all, but at this moment his feelings were sad, anxious, bloody and cruel.
At the head of the city, he was already clearly in sight, and he could already see the falcon flag fluttering in the cold wind, very abruptly, he slowed down the flames, and let out a rapid and rolling sharp howl, his whistle was extremely high-pitched, but faintly gloomy and desolate, and the sound could crack through the stone and go straight into the sky!
When the whistle fell, the long-term grief in the fox's heart was also dissipated, and his eyes became extremely deep, because he knew that grief could not give him any help, and what he needed was sobriety and reason. It's not that it doesn't hurt, but buries this pain in his heart, even if the blood revenge is avenged, that deep pain will accompany him for the rest of his life......!
