Chapter 528: Betrayal (3rd Update)
Lookout Mountain runs dead horses, let alone walks.
The western mountain range of the Shining tribe was in front of them when everyone fled, but now more than two hours later, that mountain range was still in front of them, which was really frustrating.
However, Don En was extremely relaxed, he was now being carried on the shoulders of a caravan master, although the posture was a little unsightly, even a little humiliating, but I have to say, the actual feeling was still good. At this moment,
"Commander, look at the back!" a somewhat shocked voice came out, and everyone stopped and looked behind in unison.
After such a long journey, the Shenwu tribe behind had long disappeared from view, but now a black pillar of smoke that reached into the sky was extremely clearly reflected in everyone's sight, in stark contrast to the bleak sky.
Needless to say, this was not the fire they had set before, and the pillar of smoke had largely disappeared an hour earlier.
Seeing this, Sini put her hands together on her chest, and her face was happy: "Commander, is someone coming to rescue us?"
Lan Sha didn't answer, but frowned, his eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, and asked suspiciously, "What do you see?"
"Uh......" Everyone made a gesture of touching their foreheads almost at the same time, as if they were a little accustomed to it. Sini stuck out her tongue and whispered to Lansha as she explained the situation in the distance.
Hey, this chick doesn't seem to have a good look in her eyes...... Tang En couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw this, thinking so. In fact, from the very beginning, he noticed that Arashi's eyes squinted very frequently, but he never thought about it that way. But now that I think about it, Lansha's move is like ...... Like those myopic eyes in this world?
As soon as he thought of this, Tang En couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart. No one is perfect. This is the truth. But looking at this, it is obvious that the status is noble. And the wise and almost demonic Lansha. But he has a small problem with myopia, which is really ridiculous.
"Unlikely. After listening to Xini's relay, Lan Sha shook his head directly without any consideration, "Although our previous whereabouts have been exposed, if it weren't for someone with a heart, it would be basically impossible to determine our route in such a quick time, let alone come to the rescue." ”
Andre frowned, "So, those real traitors, but why did they destroy the Shenwu tribe?" You must know that the other party has helped them before. ”
"There are so many possibilities. But if it is...... Well, then we're in real trouble. Squinting his eyes, he stopped talking a little, and then looked at the puzzled eyes of Andre and the others, Lan Sha groaned, and said, "Do you think that those small and medium-sized tribes around us, similar to Shenwu, dare to do anything to us?"
"Of course I don't dare!" Andre shook his head without even thinking about it, "It's just to give them the guts." They don't dare to turn against us!"
Lan Sha nodded: "Then, if there is someone who dares to do something to us." And they said that we destroyed the tribe of Shenu?"
"Uh...... Crazy, we only have about two dozen people, how can we slaughter a tribe?
"Not so much impossible with Weishenme. Lan Sha squinted his eyes, and the essence flowed, "No one is stupid, and everyone knows that we didn't do it. But as soon as they receive the news, they will do as the man will do for the time being. This can be as small as sneaking out our whereabouts, and so on. Hehe, in this way, anyway, they didn't get it themselves, and they might not be able to find out about them afterwards. Second, they don't have to offend those big people who dare to do something to us, so as to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Shenwu tribe!"
"Damn, they dare to ......" slammed his palms angrily, Andre couldn't help but surge with anger, but then he was a little speechless. Although this is emotionally unacceptable, intellectually speaking, it is also a very likely thing to happen.
Most people are selfish, especially when it comes to themselves, or the overall interests of their own tribe. Relative to the possible catastrophe, something like loyalty and other virtual things is naturally insignificant.
Hearing this, Sini couldn't help but say worriedly, "Then what should we do now?"
"There is a serious asymmetry in intelligence, and we can only take one step at a time. Well, let's run first. Lan Sha looked particularly calm, pointing to the mountain peak in front of him, "At least we need to enter the mountain range first, so that things can be turned around." ”
This is a big truth, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, as a decision-maker, if you don't even know who the opponent is, there is really not much you can do. When everyone heard this, they did not hesitate any longer, and ran forward with their heads bored.
It seems that the situation is a little bad...... Lansha and the others used standard Bran language when they talked, and Don could naturally understand it. Although he didn't understand the cause and effect, it didn't prevent Don from judging the situation in front of him.
From the current point of view, this noble Lan Sha seems to have met an opponent of the same level, and he was obviously caught off guard, although it is not precarious now, but it is also very passive.
If from the bottom of his heart, Don is now wishing for a dog-eat-dog between the two sides, and it is better to bite this somewhat perverted chick to death. But the crux of the matter now is that he himself is deeply involved in it, and if he follows Lansha, at least he won't die now. If Lansha and the others were killed or arrested, then he, the Bran, would have died......
Thinking about it left and right, Tang En was stunned to find that he seemed to be in the same boat as Lan Sha now, and he couldn't help but feel pain.
......
About an hour had passed, and it was already a little dark. Everyone finally reached the mountain range first, and they did not have to suffer the fate of being besieged halfway.
However, at this moment, Andre and the others found a line of black shadows in the wilderness behind, which seemed to be cavalry, rushing towards this side at high speed.
Naturally, Lansha couldn't see this scene, but that didn't stop her from making a decision. As soon as she entered the mountain range, she led the group to climb an extremely large mountain peak on the periphery.
Obviously, she wanted to know who the enemy was more than a senseless escape.
He didn't wait long, and in a short time the cavalry in the distance was swept like a raging wind a few miles ahead.
"Whew...... Battle, Lion, Division, Fall!" Looking at the cavalry brigade not far away, Andre took a deep breath and jumped out of the cold wind between his teeth word by word. i.e. somewhat unbelievable. There is also a strong killing intent.
Xini's expression also changed greatly. The tone was excited: "How is it possible? They are betraying the tribe! They are rebelling!"
"It's the ...... of the Lion War" "Grass! What do they want to do??" "What the hell is ......going on in the rear?"
......
And so it was. Compared with the excited and indignant crowd, Lan Sha's expression was a little abrupt, squinting slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
As I said before, it can't be ordinary people who dare to do it after learning their identities. And the appearance of the Lion War tribe, although extremely shocking, is actually reasonable......
The cavalry rushed to the front of the peak, three miles, and suddenly stopped their horses. The figure at the head looked up at the top of the mountain, and after a few seconds dismounted, striding towards this side alone.
It's a move to put yourself in danger, and it also represents a kind of respect.
Moving forward for more than a thousand meters, facing the sight cast on the top of the mountain, the cavalry knelt down on one knee, and his movements were simple and natural: "Xiwei, the cavalry brigade of the Lion Warrior Tribe, has seen His Highness Lansha. ”
The mountains are silent, and the wind blows the forest.
Lansha ...... Your Highness, compared to the natural expressions of the people around you, at this moment. He opened his mouth in amazement, like Don with an egg in his mouth. It's a little ridiculous.
Nima, is this really a royal family? And a real princess! God, this shijie is terrible, can't it really be in a fantasy novel......
"Xiwei, it's you!weishenme wants to do this!weishenme wants to betray!" was obviously a questioning tone, but Andre, who seemed to know Xiwei, shouted out his anger.
Hearing this, Xiwei's head hung lower, and his expression struggled: "I'm sorry, Andre, I'm carrying out orders." ”
Waving his hand to stop the angry Andre, Lan Sha looked at Xiangxia Fang calmly, oh, in fact, if someone followed her line of sight, they would find that she was actually just a small tree with a crooked neck...... Well, while the goal is a bit off, no one really cares about it right now.
"Whose order - the Lion Wars, or is it just a small group?
The voice that came slowly was not loud, but when Xi Wei heard this, he subconsciously got up, hesitated slightly, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness." I don't know about this, and I can't say it. ”
"Good. Lansha was not annoyed by the rejection, and then asked, "So, Weishenme is going to do this? Now is not a good time to betray, because something unexpected is right!"
It's just a speculation without explanation, but Xiwei couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and his expression was complicated: "Your Highness is like a god, it is true." ”
"Speaking of which, I'm also curious about what can make the people of the Lion Warrior tribe feel betrayed. ”
Xiwei didn't hide this, or wanted to show that he was doing the right thing, and said in a long voice: "Does Your Highness know that An Shuai has died by the river in Liuguna?"
"You know, it was Zi Yi who did it?"
In addition, His Royal Highness can know that Zi Yi led 20,000 Zichen soldiers to kill under the imperial city, broke the city gate, and burned to death with the main hall of the imperial palace. ”
"Uh......" The top of the mountain fell into silence, Rao is calm as Lan Sha, and at this time, he couldn't help but be shocked and his body shook violently.
The news they had received before was only that Zi Yi had entered the hinterland of the Northern Wilderness and might approach the Imperial City. I don't want Zi Yi to do things like this later, it's really appalling!
Tang En on the side was also shocked and inexplicable, with a hint of sentimentality in it. Shocked, needless to say, the Bran military god is the Bran military god, in the whole world, besides him, who else can come to the Northern Wilderness Imperial City and the Imperial Palace for a day trip?
As for the sentimentality, it was the pity that Zi Yi was finally dead, although Tang En and he only played a game of chess and met once. But I have to say that Zi Yi left a deep impression on Donne, like an old friend who has been friends for a long time.
After a moment, Lan Sha took a deep breath, frowned and asked, "What does this have to do with the betrayal of the Lion Warrior Tribe?"
"Of course there is!" Xiwei looked a little excited, "We have investigated, the reason why An Shuai was hunted down to that point is because Jihua, who had been planning for more than ten years before, was suddenly seen through by Zi Yi at a critical time, and as a result, he was defeated!"
"There are not many people who know this Jihua, and the Empress is one of them. ”
"You mean......" Lan Sha's expression turned cold for the first time, "It was my mother who leaked Jihua and killed An Shuai?"
"Not bad!"
"Ridiculous! you ......"
"Your Highness!" Xiwei waved his arms frantically, interrupting Lansha's words very excitedly, "I know this sounds a bit ridiculous, but do you know that when Zi Yi led his troops to attack the imperial city, he once called out to the city three times in a row to 'come out and see me', and he never forgot it until he died!"
After a pause, he gasped, raised his head and roared, "Whew...... Your Highness, you must know a rumor that Her Majesty has been to Bran for more than ten years. That's right, the Bran man that the Empress once liked, Zheng, Yes, Purple, Yi!"
