Chapter 950: Life and Death in Doubt
(PS: Today's chapter, but this chapter is almost 4,000 words, which is a big chapter.) It's not good to separate them and send them together. Don't blame, don't blame!)
The northern hinterland, a small town.
The Grey Clothes Army was temporarily stationed in the camp, and in the conference hall used for discussion and discussion, there was a lot of discussion and crowding.
Suddenly, Huo Ran got up, and the paper flew over. The wooden chair was backwards, and the feet of the stool were three feet back against the stone floor, sharp and piercing.
In the hall, there was an instant silence! A group of high-level generals froze in stunned expressions, and subconsciously turned their heads to look in the direction of the first place, and the leader Josia, who stood up and had a somewhat inexplicable look of surprise, was silent for a while.
Silently, not far away, outside the half-closed door, the sound of the torrential rain was clear in my ears. With a popping noise, it was the raindrops hitting the eaves, shattering.
At this time, a light cough of "cough ......" finally broke the silence, Frey stood up on the table, first followed Josia's stunned gaze, looked at the closed window on the south side of the room, paused, and retracted his gaze for some reason, "What's wrong, Chief, is there something wrong?"
"Well, no...... I don't know, just now I suddenly had a feeling, it seems, it seems to be ......" raised his hand and rubbed the side of his hair bun, Josia hesitated, and stopped talking a few times. In the end, he took a deep breath and shook his head lightly, "It's nothing." Sorry, it may be that I haven't had a good rest lately and scared everyone. ”
"Oh, it's nothing, you're fine, Chief. ”
"Rest a lot, Chief...... It's busy, but it's your body's ...... that counts."
"Isn't there a drama theater in the city, chief, you might as well take some time to sit there. Relieve fatigue ......"
......
The atmosphere warmed up, and in the face of the concern and persuasion of a group of high-level generals, Josia smiled and saluted again to thank him. Then he pulled back the wooden chair and sat down again, seemingly as usual.
Not that no one doubted, at least Frey saw Josia's expression of wanting to speak and stopping. However, Josia didn't want to say it, and this abrupt episode was naturally revealed.
The meeting continued, and the atmosphere was still lively, but there was always something strange about it.
One is because Josia hasn't expressed any opinion since he sat down. Although there is nothing unusual on the surface. But old people like Frey who are familiar with Josia's habits. Looking at the latter's fingers pinching the corners of the map information page from time to time and other casual small movements, it was clear that she was now distracted, and her attention was obviously not in the current conference hall.
The second is Lansha on the side. For this mysterious woman who cut into the queue not long ago, but won the position of the supreme commander of the army, now the gray army is not convinced. Even if the former has always maintained a faint sense of alienation that has never changed. It is only responsible for commanding the army in battle. The indifference of the rest of the gray army to the big and small affairs. But just look at the gray army's current strong record. A group of officers and generals had to respect her very much......
From this point of view, Lansha's previous statement - she didn't need to be welcomed, as long as the Grey General led the army and obeyed her orders on the battlefield. It doesn't matter what the rest...... That's right! The army has always been a relatively pure place, where the strong win respect and glory, and the weak are despised and eliminated. It's as simple as that, everything else is nothing.
And with Lansha's ability to perfectly control the grand strategy, as well as the respected position won in the gray army. For example, at the moment, this kind of military-themed meeting is naturally the protagonist of the event. In fact, this was almost the case before, and Lansha threw out a tactical decision, and a group of officers and generals discussed it...... Don't get me wrong, this is not a rebuttal. Even if it is for the sake of his own face, he will not be dumbfounded by the unceremonious Lan Sha in the future, and the officers and generals will not touch this bad head after suffering many losses.
It's just ...... Well, communicate. Or it's learning with a lower profile and accepting advice......
But somehow, after Josia's episode just now, Lansha was also a little abnormal. It seems to be thinking about something else, thoughtfully. Occasionally glanced at the silent Josia, his brow furrowed slightly......
After a while, he noticed that Josia and Lansha were both a little absent. Although Frey did not think of the reason, he got up decisively to end the short meeting.
In fact, there is really no discussion, and now the gray-clothed army has won successes, and the army is like a rainbow in the hinterland of Bran, and it has the unstoppable power to sweep thousands of miles like a tiger. With such good momentum, even if something goes wrong, it becomes insignificant. If it weren't for Frey, who knew Lansha's true identity, who was a little selfish, hoping that his generals could learn more from Lansha, there would be no need for this military meeting......
After greeting the high-ranking generals to disperse, Frey turned his head by the door, looked at Josia who was still sitting at the table, and Lansha, who was packing up his things and preparing to leave, thought for a while and said, "Chief, take a rest......
Before he could finish speaking, Josia waved his hand and interrupted: "Brother Frey, I have some questions for Miss Lansha. ”
Stunned, Frey nodded, turned around and closed the wooden door and simply left.
Putting down the military information in his hand, Lan Sha seemed to be slightly stunned when he heard this, and looked up at Josia, with just the right amount of doubt in his eyes: "Question? about the army? What, are you still wary of me? Hehe, don't worry." While your soldiers and officers are useful, they're not to the point where I'm going to give up the millions of warriors of my tribe......"
"Not this one. Josia frowned slightly, thinking of the sudden throbbing and ominous premonition that flashed in her heart just now, she pursed her lips and looked at Lan Sha's eyes fixedly, "You know where Don has gone and what he is doing, right?"
"Huh?" Lan Sha was stunned when he heard this, and raised his hand to point at himself inexplicably, "I...... You should know this?...... "Suddenly, he shook his head and smiled, and suddenly, "Why, you finally see the true face of that bastard......? Well, do you have any evidence?
At the end, when he suddenly asked a rhetorical question, Lan Sha's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was a little imperceptible and irritated. Of course, the object of this anger will not be Josia, but Don En, who seems to be suspected by Josia now-a good interpretation of the identity of the junior, but he found that the scumbag actually had the hidden anger of the target of the split.
So. Look at each other for a moment. Josia took a deep look at Lansha, looked away, got up and walked out the door: "You think too much, I'm just asking casually." ”
"Huh, what...... You're kidding me? No, you just got a little bit wrong, did you really find something? Don really has a ...... out there. Hehe, let's talk about it. If that's the case, we're all victims now and there should be a common topic......"
"Miss Lansha. ”
"Huh?"
"If that's the case, I'm a victim. Opening the wooden door, Joshia looked at Ransha with a blank expression. Speak indifferently. "As for you, you're just a wishful thinking latecomer!"
Bang, the wooden door closes, and the wind and rain are closed.
"Huh. Putting on a face...... What a tough opponent. There was a pause. Make sure the footsteps outside the door are gone. Lansha's shoulders shrugged. He pulled a wooden chair and sat down, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "But you're smart." I'm not stupid either. ”
That's right, Lan Sha's expression and dialogue just now were all pretended. The so-called life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills. And among them, women are naturally powerful, and smart women are even more so. Therefore, Josia wanted to know from her that Don En really went, and he was undoubtedly a little tender...... But
The smile at the corner of his mouth converged, and he raised his eyebrows. Lan Sha, who was thoughtful, gradually frowned unconsciously.
I have to say that women's intuition is really unreasonable. Whether it is separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, or shrouded in fog, a woman's intuition can always be like a sharp arrow with a precise navigator, penetrating a qiē and hitting the essence of the red heart!
Josia was instantly shocked that Don En might be in extreme danger, although Lansha didn't have such a premonition, but looking at Josia's nervous expression, the first thought he realized was exactly that......
No, with the situation that Bran is still dying now, the sword god Wu Ding will not be desperate early. And with Grandpa Bamutu following, Don should be ...... Surely nothing will happen......
Even if you are wise and close to the demon, but you lack first-hand information, it is of course useless to just guess out of thin air. But if you can't stand the concern, it's chaos. Pushing open the window on the south side of the house, Lan Sha held on to the window lattice, looking up at the dark sky in the south, looking stunned......
Surely nothing will happen...... Right?
......
......
Those who care about Donne's life and death are Josia and Lansha.
But no one really could answer this question, and even the two old men closest to Don at the time would not know until Don En was found intact or his mutilated body was found......
At the mouth of the river, the river in the heart of the river has restored the silence of the past. The smoke is shaking, the torrential rain is pouring, and the river is still rippling. From any point of view, nothing has changed from the usual, as if nothing had happened.
But, of course, this is not the case.
The evaporated thousands of acres of river water can't come back!
In a short period of time, the strange status quo of countless riverside ports turning into inland towns cannot be changed!
The big gully at the bottom of the river, which is buried deep under the water of the 10,000-ton river and seems to divide the entire continent into two, can never be turned back......
......
These are only superficial changes that can be seen with the naked eye, and the real terrifying changes are hidden in this air, on this waterway, invisible and substantial, but containing deadly dangers!
After this battle, although the bizarre Honkai world was artificially closed, this area has become extremely unstable. In the future, on this body of water, there will be infiltrating rumors of ships mysteriously disappearing without a trace from time to time, which is extremely evil!
Of course, that's all for later. Leaving that aside, let's focus on the present......
"Oh God!"
"Coming, coming......"
"It's a man—three people—"
A merchant ship that was supposed to be traveling from south to north, but suddenly got the news halfway down the road and hurried back to sail. Dozens of crew members hid in the cabin, watching in horror as a group of three people in the air fell rapidly from the storm. Eventually, with a bang, it crashed on the deck, causing the ship to shake continuously.
"Master, master!"
"I can't die, I can't die for a while. Don't speak, listen to me, poof......" A mouthful of blood mist spewed out, but the old man concerned seemed to be unconscious, grabbed the shoulder of the young man who staggered up, and said hurriedly, "I will take control of this ship later, and take care of your senior brother Haita." Then turn back to the southern port as fast as possible, and do your best to mobilize all the masters above the prefecture level to chase and kill along the way...... Ahem...... Nabamutu was badly wounded, and now he was at the end of his crossbow. If you can find out where he is, you can kill him......! Whew, do you understand?"
"I understand the master, I understand ......"
"Good...... Also, use all the connections you have at your disposal, in Bran...... Wanted Don Jr. in the South. If you find him, your first choice is to capture him alive and bring him to me. If you can't catch him alive, kill him...... Burst...... Ahem......"
"Uh, he's not dead yet?" the young man's panicked expression when he heard this, and he cried out in a lost voice, "No way! I saw him blow up to pieces!"
"No, at least he didn't die at my hands...... That space hole was made by himself, and it should be a retreat that he had prepared a long time ago. If he thought about it this way, he would probably have escaped into space and escaped the aftermath of my next duel with Bamutu...... Ahem...... However, at that time, the space was extremely unstable, and he was seriously injured, so it was difficult to say whether he could successfully get out of the spatial turbulence, and even if he came out, it was hard to say if it was not the Xize Continent...... But...... Burst...... If he returns to the real world, he will be in a dying state. Surely, you have to find him...... Whoosh...... He's too dangerous...... It's too dangerous......"
His chest rose and fell violently, and the old man gasped and took a half step back, muttering repeatedly with the corners of his mouth, and fell straight down on his back.
"Master-master-"
