Chapter 984: Who's in For?
The next day, the morning light was faint and the night fog was misty.
Tang En froze in an almost unchanged posture and sat on the green tiles of the roof all night, ushering in the first thin rays of light in the morning.
The exposed clothes were already soaked, clinging to the body, bringing the bitter cold of the night. Even the eyelashes between the eyebrows and the sideburns of the bun are also dyed with a layer of light frost, which looks straight like an ancient bronze statue from a distance, revealing the meaning of cool and thin vicissitudes everywhere.
Only the eyes that have not been closed all night are gone. Perhaps because he had enough time to reflect and adjust, Donn's eyes were basically calm. At least on the surface, the silence is as cold as water.
As for whether there is something hidden under this icy water, it is unknown...... At this moment, a pot of wine with an open seal and a faint aroma of wine appeared in front of Tang En's eyes out of thin air.
"I guess you need this now. ”
Tang En had regained his calm, and with his keen perception, the only thing that could appear out of thin air around him was Bamutu, who had gone and returned.
Shaking his head slightly, Tang En opened his mouth and said the first sentence of his seat, his voice hoarse: "I have to hurry later." ”
"It's just a jar of wine, moisturizing the throat, and you can't get things wrong. ”
After a pause, Don raised his hand to take the wine jar: "Thank you." ”
"No, I don't have to. Bamutu simply waved his hand, sat beside Tang En and sighed, "If it weren't for the fact that the injury has not healed now, and the strength has been greatly reduced, it is no longer as good as you, I will definitely beat you kid first." ”
The corners of Don's mouth twitched, and he barely showed a smile. Then he raised his head and poured a sip of wine, and roughly resumed his normal voice: "Ba Lao is polite, if you really want to teach me a lesson." Injury strength is not an obstacle. ”
This is not modesty. That's the truth. The so-called thousand-legged insect. Dead but not stiff. A master of such a realm as Bamutu, if there is still a breath of air, even if he is covered in bruises, who would dare to underestimate him?
Bamutu smiled when he heard this, that is, he did not deny it, nor did he accept it. just digressed the topic, shook his head and sighed: "Before I said it, I was still very optimistic about you, and I was also optimistic that you and Lansha's girl could finally get together." Otherwise, if you don't mess around, you will accompany her to the Gray Army. I just didn't expect it...... You kid really didn't let me look away, he made a big move, and he made a child out of the outside without making a sound, heh......"
The wine jar paused in mid-air, and Tang En replied lightly: "Ba Lao is not here specifically for my amusement. ”
"Of course not. Bamutu clapped his palms, got up and said, "I'm here to pass the word, of course, you can also see it as a snitch." After all, although the man did not avoid my order, he did not ask me to convey it...... Kindness. The mountains are high and the roads are long, and the warriors are somewhat unaccustomed to the climate of Bran, etc. To be on the safe side. It is expected that it will take about a month for the vanguard of the Horde to reach the front line of the battle, on the banks of the Lenau River. ”
Tang En was immediately stunned when he heard this, froze the posture of touching his lips lightly on the edge of the wine can, and then slowly put it down after a while: "Thank you...... Thank her for me. ”
The so-called high mountains and long roads, unsuitable water and soil and other reasons, of course, are just excuses. The barbarian soldiers could not even afford to live in the harsh living environment of the Northern Wilderness, so how could they not adapt to the good environment and climate of Bran? Therefore, it was not so much that it would take about a month to travel, but rather to make way for Donne's next move......
Waving his hand, "I said, no need." And it's just a strategic decision made out of prudence, and nothing else. Well, now that the word has arrived, I won't stay longer. ”
Bamutu was very simple, a moment ago he said that he was leaving, but at this moment his figure had disappeared into the void, leaving only a faint warning reminder, "Be careful, boy, the temple will always not be a place that can be broken into lightly." Although the old immortal pope himself is sparsely powerful, he has a lot of ghosts. If you can't provoke, you still don't want to provoke. Of course, if you can send him to the so-called God of Light, then I will invite you to drink again......"
The words fell, and soon faded away as the faint mist gradually dissipated, and finally quietly disappeared.
After a pause, Donn slowly got up, and poured the rest of his drink with his head in the thin light from the east. Then he casually threw away the empty can and jumped off the roof.
"Boss. Before the parabolic wine tank in the air hit the ground, a group of figures quickly burst out from all corners of the surrounding area, and instantly gathered around Don.
Gray space, all hands are on board.
"David took your men and left behind to protect the station. The rest come with me, and you go with us, Owens...... Little Carlo, what are you doing here?Go and accompany you, Sister Josia is not allowed to go anywhere, David is optimistic about her!"
After their respective strengths have grown day by day, the team has become more mature, and they basically have the strength to take charge of themselves, the members of the gray space have not acted with Tang En for a long time. In this way, the people who were called, such as Harry, Luke, etc., were naturally overjoyed and smiling.
Correspondingly, the little Carlo, David and the team members under David who were left behind were depressed when they heard this. However, this time the situation was special, coupled with the cold chill that Tang En was now not allowed to enter, they also knew that this matter was non-negotiable, so they could only pinch their noses and admit it......
Time is pressing, and the shape is critical. To be honest, Lansha's side was able to make concessions, which was much beyond Tang En's expectations. In this way, now it is natural to have a qiē from the simple, a qiē from the speed!
After quickly giving orders and concisely explaining everything, Tang En didn't say a word of nonsense, and turned around and left.
At this time, David suddenly called, "Boss...... Uh, would you like to say hello to Josia before leaving?"
After a pause, Don glanced sideways at the room behind him, the doors and windows closed...... Take a deep breath and stride away: "Let's go!"
Again, it's futile to say anything now. It may even cause the opposite effect and intensify the conflict. It might be better to separate for a while and calm down with each other for a while......
There was no farewell, no farewell.
Regarding the matter of Xia Weian, not many people in the station know about it, except for David and other gray spaces, there are a few parties, and even Frey and other high-level officials are not clear. Therefore, when Don quietly left the station with Owens and half of the members of the gray space in the glimmer of morning light, no one got up early to see him off.
There were already Harry and others on the periphery ready to prepare fast horses. There was no pause. Run as fast as you can out of the station's range.
"Donn. "At a gallop. Owens urged the horse to come closer, "Have you decided on a route? As far as I know, there is a teleportation tower in Sharloin City, more than 100 kilometers away. If that hadn't been destroyed in the war, we would ......."
"Let's chase people first. Don interrupted.
"Chasing, chasing, chasing?"
"Second Prince!"
“...... Great idea!"
Good idea indeed.
After the temple caught Xia Wei'an, of course, he would not be judged immediately and executed in secret. How to say that Shavien is also a person of prestige, even if she is now against the temple everywhere, there will always be some believers who will be skeptical. The temple must always have a plausible explanation. And taking advantage of this time, after the position of the Gray Cloth Army and the Tribal Army spread to the south, the temple side was naturally even more reluctant to kill Xia Weian. Or even if they were willing, the Empire would not agree......
Of course, even if you don't kill Xia Weian, it is certain that she will be placed under house arrest. At the same time, the Empire and the Temple will definitely be able to think of the rescue operation that will follow here, and they will definitely make all kinds of preparations.
It is not an exaggeration to expect that when Tang En's rescue team officially sets foot on the southern land, it will be the beginning of the blockade and suppression.
Don has faith in himself. They are also confident in the gray space, and these blockades and encirclements should not stop them. But inevitably. When dealing with these blockades and encirclements, they will inevitably slow down the rescue progress and waste unnecessary time.
That's something Don doesn't want to see.
Therefore, he had to take the first step to disrupt the situation and disrupt the joint deployment of the temple and the empire. And the '-stirring stick' that can have this powerful effect is naturally none other than the second prince and his party.
That's almost certain!
When the empire announced that the second prince who had died at the hands of the gray-clothed army suddenly appeared on the southern land, the chaos caused would be a great uproar.
And this is Donne's chance, their chance to fish in troubled waters......
......
Of course, these are just predictions. The first thing Tang En had to deal with was to get the cooperation of the second prince and his party.
And in fact, it's not that hard......
Leaving the night aside, it's just half a day's work. Even if the second prince and his entourage of nobles negotiated like an arrow, no matter how fast they were, of course, they could not fly out of the northern realm immediately.
In fact, Tang En and the others didn't even use half a day, so they intercepted the other party on the mountain road.
When he saw the second prince, Tang En didn't hide it, and now he didn't have the time to hide it, so he directly said the situation before and after concisely, put forward his own requirements, and then waited for the other party's decision.
The second prince was shocked by Tang En's sudden arrival. After all, they are now on the territory of the Gray Army, and if the other party moves the killing intent, they really can't do much. However, he is worthy of being a smart person in Lan Sha's mouth, after a brief understanding of the situation, the second prince did not hesitate, and directly nodded in agreement: "No problem, according to what His Excellency Tang En said, our side will definitely cooperate." ”
"I don't approve. ”
Of course, there is no shortage of dissenting people in this world. Maybe he felt that the second prince agreed too happily, or maybe he felt that he was the smart man.
Before the second prince could finish speaking, a curly-haired old nobleman stood up, stroked his white beard and said: "The negotiation agreement has just been reached, and it stands to reason that we are now partners with the Gray Army, and we should help each other." But this matter is not a public matter in the final analysis, but a private matter of His Excellency Donn, and it is not within the scope of the negotiation agreement. ”
After a pause, the words changed sharply, "Of course, it's not impossible to help with private matters." But, well, if you want to get it, you have to pay first. After all, when we return to the south, our future is uncertain......"
After a meaningful sigh, the eyes of the members of the surrounding aristocratic negotiation team lit up, and they looked at Tang En and wanted to speak.
The so-called obedience is to listen to the sound. This is especially important when talking to people who claim to be of high status. For example, right now, don't look at what this curly-haired old aristocrat Balabala said, in fact, the point is just that sentence - if you want to get it, you have to pay first!
To put it bluntly, that is, you Don En is begging us to do something now. And since it is asking someone to do something, of course it must be paid.
As for what the remuneration is, he just wants to take this opportunity to tie Tang En and the others to the noble negotiation team. In this way, after they go back to the south, they will have an extra layer of personal security.
How so...... According to the principle of equivalent exchange, this requirement is not excessive. Originally, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to use us to stir up the situation, then it is natural for us to use you to defend yourself, isn't it?
It's just a pity that this curly-haired old aristocrat has forgotten what it means to be stronger than people, and he has forgotten whose territory he is standing on now. What's more, he ignores Donne's current affection......
"If you want to get it, you have to pay first...... Well, that makes sense!" Don rubbed his eyebrows, looked at the curly-haired old nobleman, and nodded with a smile.
The latter, as well as the old nobles around him, couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw this, and only thought that Tang En had agreed. Only the second prince on the side suddenly changed his expression when he heard this, and subconsciously waved his hand sideways, blocking in front of the curly-haired old nobleman: "Wait......"
A wisp of breeze swept by itself, waved his palm and slammed the ground, sneering---The blade flashed, and a column of blood and water rose into the sky like an underground fountain, splashing in all directions, instantly drenching the surrounding old nobles who were caught off guard with all their faces and standing dumbfounded.
The curly-haired old aristocratic head with a triumphant smile still hanging on the corner of his mouth had already left his body and was easily grasped in Tang En's hands. Turning his head sideways, he glanced at the surrounding several royal family worshippers who had just stepped and raised their hands, and his eyes were like icy water. Seeing this, the latter looked at each other and smiled bitterly, quietly put down his palm, and retreated behind the second prince again.
Retracting his gaze, he raised his foot and kicked out, and the headless corpse flew into the ravine beside the road.
Tang En half-turned around, carrying his curly hair, and looked at the stunned nobles with a calm expression: "Now, who is in favor and who is against?"
