The next day, the sun sets in the west, and dusk is approaching.

On the official road a few miles outside the small city, looking at the ancient city wall in the distance, which was covered in the afterglow of the sunset and dyed with the magnificent colors, a group of exhausted and dozens of people dressed up like homeless people couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl, raise their arms and cheer.

"Oh, the Savage Gods are above...... We finally arrived alive at ......"

"Luck, luck, this time it's really good luck ......"

"Cao Teniang, those Bran crumbs are absolutely crazy, they don't go to the frontal battlefield, but they come to stop us...... It's really, grass special girl......"

or stroking his chest to thank the gods, or scolding to soothe tense nerves, more than a dozen people scattered on the official road, jumping and hugging, like a madman constantly cheering and celebrating, happy and colorful.

Of course, anyone who is in the siege and pursuit, nine deaths and a wolf is unbearable, and the team has changed from more than 100 elite scouts at the time of departure to more than 10 homeless people today, and finally successfully arrived at the destination, there will be reason to be excited.

Oh, not really, one of the barbarians riding on the languishing wolf was not happy, but rather rather dazed by Dongzhang's hope. Then he pulled the wolf's head and walked to the side, approaching another middle-aged barbarian who was also riding on the giant wolf, and asked honestly, "My lord, what are you ...... Uh, here we are?"

"Haha, yes, we're here!" Yang Tian laughed a few times, the middle-aged barbarian looked very ecstatic, and then thought of something, patted Sabah on the shoulder, and explained in a gentle tone, "I'm sorry, Brother Saba, I couldn't talk to you much because of the mandate before, but now it's okay......" He pointed to the city wall in the distance, feeling a little happy, "This is the destination of this trip." We did our job successfully......"

The voice did not fall. The questioning barbarian burst out laughing. As if his face changed, his expression was extremely excited, "Haha...... I can be regarded as letting Lao Tzu come alive......! Hahaha......"

Crazy laughter mixed with a series of foul mouths, this crazy appearance made the middle-aged barbarian next to him startle, and the blue-armored giant wolf under him subconsciously retreated, and then shook his head speechlessly, I don't know whether it was disdain or envy, muttered to himself. "What a lucky guy......"

If the mission is successful, the more than ten people who survived will naturally have a great credit. However, in the eyes of the middle-aged barbarian, if there is anyone who gets the most benefits from this, it should be the guy in front of him who is also riding a blue armored giant wolf. Thinking about the appreciation of the general when he came, he knew that the other party would not only get this credit, but also have a qualitative leap in his future status after returning home, which is really enviable......

However, the middle-aged barbarian did not notice that the lucky guy in his mouth looked like a prodigal wreck. But looking at the tall city wall in the distance, there was a trace of imperceptible killing intent in his eyes!

Hehe. Have you finally found it, the mysterious barbarian commander......

Squinting his eyes, Tang En took a light breath, and instantly suppressed the waves of killing intent and emotion that were slightly flooding in his heart. Then he looked away and joined in the celebration cheers as usual......

After a while, after the excitement was packed, more than ten people set off again, this time without the middle-aged barbarian officer's encouragement order, the team quickly approached the distant city wall.

Maybe it's because you're in a good mood, or maybe you want to lay a good foundation for your future relationship. As soon as the team set off, the middle-aged barbarian officer took the initiative to walk with Tang En, looking for various topics to talk and chat.

Tang En naturally would not refuse this, while flattering in the disdainful gaze of the remaining Dark Serpent Guards, he kept patting the horses of the middle-aged barbarian officer. For example, the reason why this operation was successful was because of the wise leadership of the other party. On the other hand, he showed a worried look, intentionally or unintentionally, pointing out the thorny problem of how to deal with the rampant Bran scouts when they returned......

As it turned out, the horses were not shot in vain. After a series of inspections, when the team stepped into the city to hand over information to their superiors, the middle-aged barbarian officer took the opportunity to tell the story of his encounters on the way, and secretly expressed his concern for his safe return.

It turned out well, they didn't throw it away when they ran out like paper was used. The higher intelligence agencies reasonably allowed them to stay in the city for three days to buffer and rest, and said that they would send a barbarian brigade to escort them when they returned......

Of course, the latter had nothing to do with Donn, all he wanted was not to be kicked out of the city immediately.

Three days, that's enough!

......

Quiet overnight.

Don didn't act immediately, didn't take advantage of the night to make any tentative moves, and didn't even gather the necessary information about his surroundings. After entering the designated area last night, I closed my eyes and slept beautifully, which was very steady.

Of course, this is not to say that Don is not in a hurry, in fact, because of Josia's safety, he thought about forcing the destination several times on the way here, and then left this intelligence team and came here alone. But in the end, he held back, followed the team unhurriedly, and was even more calm after entering the city...... The reason is very simple, compared with cutting through the mess with a quick knife, Tang En understands better what it means to be a mountain and a failure!

There are some things that are not for outsiders, but the truth is that assassination is a delicate craft. Involving every aspect, even the state of mind, can have a huge impact on the outcome...... In short, it is the best state to panic, not to be in a hurry, to go with the flow and to come naturally.

Moreover, the preparatory work for the assassination operation is much more complicated and difficult than the actual operation in the later stage. An inconspicuous mistake, no matter how high the strength is, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is blind - this is why Wooding must let Don make a move, without it, professional!

The next morning, after recuperating all night, Tang En, who had adjusted his body and spirit to the best state, opened the door and walked out, took a deep breath, the cold wind entered his brain, and his spirit was suddenly lifted.

Glanced around, he didn't observe clearly last night, he only knew that the location he lived in was probably in Beicheng District, and now Tang En realized that what he was stepping on seemed to be the land of a wealthy merchant's manor.

Today, of course, the original owner of this exquisite estate is long gone. And at that time, I should have walked in a hurry, and I could see all kinds of discarded debris everywhere. However, the general structure is still relatively intact, and even the fountain of the statue of the god of light in the middle of the open space in the small square not far away has not been destroyed. It's just that the garden on one side looks a little dilapidated. Winter is not the season for flowers. Plus the leaves that fell all over the ground because no one cleaned them. Mixed with the rain of the previous few days, it was muddy and even messy.

After a general observation, Tang En thought for a while, and instead of walking towards the gate not far away, he tidied up his animal skin clothes, turned aside, and came to another residential area. He didn't look for long, and he smiled and stepped forward to greet him. "Hehe, my lord, good morning. ”

"Uh...... Oh, it's Brother Sabah. Grabbing and rubbing his messy blonde hair, the middle-aged barbarian officer looked Tang En's fairly neat dress up and down, and asked in surprise, "Are you going out?"

"yes, I've always been in the army before, and I haven't really seen what Bran's city looks like...... Grown-ups?"

"Hah, that sounds like a good idea. Sorry though. I'm going to the intelligence office today, or you can call me. Uh......" After a pause, the middle-aged barbarian officer couldn't speak, because he suddenly remembered the bad relationship between Don and the Dark Serpent Guard who came with him.

Hey, just know you're not going...... Don just wanted to take this opportunity to report it, so that his next step on the spot would not be suspicious. Of course, on the surface, he still put on a regretful look and shook his head: "That's it, forget it, I'll just go around alone." ”

"Well, that's okay, bring your identity tag, be careful not to cause misunderstanding......" After hesitating, the middle-aged barbarian officer unconsciously lowered his voice and said, "It's not easy here, and no one can protect you if you cause trouble." ”

"Understood, thank you for the reminder. "Nonsense, if it were simple here, I would have traveled so hard to come all the way?

After chatting a few more words, Tang En raised his hand to say goodbye to the middle-aged barbarian officer, walked out of the manor, and officially embarked on the stepping trip......

At this time, in the city lord's mansion, a meeting hall that was originally used as a gathering and discussion of the city's administrative officials, Lansha also officially started the day's work.

Although it has been said before that in the current battle, she, the supreme commander of the Northern Wilderness, has little role, so it is very boring. But that's only relative, in fact, not to mention wartime, even in normal times, she, the supreme commander of the army, will have a lot of military affairs to deal with.

It's just that it's still early at this time, and the old generals of a group of barbarians are also older, and they haven't been able to get up and ease up at this time, so there is still some time before the routine military morning meeting. Therefore, in the empty conference hall, there was only Lan Sha and the mountains of various military affairs documents on the table.

Oh no, maybe someone...... Wrinkling his nose, Lan Sha put down the book in his hand, frowned slightly, and said softly helplessly: "Grandpa Bamutu, you are secretly drinking again." You shouldn't drink it if you're not well. ”

There was only Lan Sha in the room, and the closest one was Andre and other guards guarding the door. And this is more like a whisper of self-talk, which obviously can't reach the door. However, what is even more strange is that as soon as Lan Sha's voice fell, a slightly old voice was directly connected,

"Uh, have you found it? Do I still smell of alcohol...... Hehe......" There was some embarrassing laughter, and the corner of the room was like ripples on the surface of a calm lake, and then a gray-haired, senile barbarian old man appeared out of thin air, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "But I didn't drink secretly this time, but someone came to invite me to drink." ”

If Tang En, who was still wandering around the city at this time, appeared here, he would definitely be able to recognize this old man at a glance, it was the unfathomable administrator in the library of the Northern Wilderness Imperial City. Of course, the subsequent reaction is likely to be to turn around and go, as far as you can......

"Someone please?" Lan Sha couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, knowing Bamutu's true identity and knowing that she should be the only ones who came with her to protect her safety this time...... But then he thought of something, and nodded clearly: "Is it brother?"

Tiu is also a core member of the royal family, so he naturally knows the identity of Bamutu. In addition, not long after he arrived, Bamutu was invited to drink on an extremely rare occasion...... Well, it's not hard to guess, at least for Lansha's IQ.

shook his head in surprise, "Girl, you're too smart, be careful that you can't marry in the future, hehe." Bamutu smiled and bowed his head, "Yes, it's your good brother." ”

After a pause, he looked at Lan Sha's calm and usual expression, raised his eyebrows and asked again, "You don't want to know the purpose of him inviting me to drink?"

"I don't want to. Lan Sha simply shook his head, and then a trace of bitterness appeared at the corner of his mouth, "But I can roughly guess." ”

This is a fact, although there are few people who know the true identity of Bamutu, everyone who knows is extremely aware of this old man who seems to be old. What a terrifying influence the tribe has in the Northern Wilderness. Not an exaggeration. His attitude towards the selection of the successor to the royal family. It also has a very important impact...... In this way, the purpose of Tiu looking for him is naturally self-evident.

"Hehe, I know I can't hide it from you. That's right, he's tempting, and although he doesn't say it directly, that's pretty much what he means. Bamutu walked at the table and sat down, took the teacup handed by Lansha, and took a sip. Sighing lightly, "Girl, escaping won't solve any problems." Some things are interrupted and are likely to get worse in the end. ”

I didn't say it explicitly, but Arashisha certainly understood what it meant. She can casually find an excuse to prevaricate Andre, General Xiong and others, but she can't avoid the seemingly muddy old eyes in front of her. After a moment of silence, he whispered to himself: "But that's my brother, and it was indeed me who robbed him of his position......"

"Wrong, our Northern Wilderness tribe has always advocated the law of the jungle, and it is an indisputable fact that you are better than him. "Bamutu shook his head, "Actually. If you make a decision, you are saving him...... With his identity, even if you are willing to let him become the next emperor of the Northern Wilderness, how many tribes will obey him? With your intelligence, it is not difficult to think that this will be another internecine internal struggle. At that time, you will still need to step forward, and he will be a sinner in the history of the tribe through the ages!"

Lan Sha was silent again, with her wisdom, how could she not know such a truth. It's just that no matter how outstanding your IQ and rational thinking are, you will be reduced to a piece of paste before facing the family affection that blood is thicker than water. This is also the so-called truth that it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs.

Honestly, she didn't want to make a choice, even though it was an easy one. She was still holding on to chance, so she was waiting, waiting for Tiu to make this choice—if he could see the shape clearly and take the initiative to stop, it would undoubtedly be the best situation at the moment.

It's just, will my brother stop......

The answer was obvious, but Lan Sha didn't want to think about it, pursed her lips, and said more like a digression: "Mother often said that your old position has always been neutral. ”

"My position has always been on the side of the tribe and the royal family. Putting down the teaglass, Bamutu's face was calm, "And in fact, I'm neutral enough." Otherwise, he would have been dead from the moment he knew that he might affect the stability of the tribe and the royal family. ”

"Grandpa Bamutu......" Bamutu's eyebrows furrowed again when he heard this, obviously displeased.

"It's just talking, isn't it not being put into action? Bamutu smiled disapprovingly and said, "It's just that you girl thinks about him everywhere, but he may not understand your affection." Well, he hurried back from the front this time, it shouldn't be as simple as inviting me to a drink with this old fellow, you better beware. ”

Lan Sha also shook his head disapprovingly and smiled: "Isn't it for Grandpa Bamutu to protect me, what else do I need to be afraid of?"

"Ha, sweet-mouthed girl, I'm not invincible in the world...... And, it's a matter of time, you have to be prepared. After a pause, Bamutu hesitated, but said, "Why do you think the always wise Empress would let him appear in the army with you after knowing that Tiu might harbor evil intentions?"

When the words fell, Lan Sha's delicate body was shocked, confused, incredulous, and sad...... In a short moment, his expression changed.

Compared with her hesitant self, Lansha knew very well that her mother, the Empress, had always been an absolutely rational person. In this way, the details that she didn't care about before, she readily agreed to the unwilling Tiu to join the army with her, and the meaning was obvious...... She knew that Tiu was going to make a move, she wanted to see what Theu was doing, and she wanted to- let Tiu force her to make a choice!

Knock knock, three polite knocks on the door, the wooden door of the conference hall was pushed open from the outside, revealing Andre's figure, "Your Highness, Elder Xiong and the others have arrived, just wait outside, ask when the morning meeting will start?"

Stunned, Lan Sha subconsciously looked at the table, Bamutu, who was sitting there with a teacup a moment ago, had disappeared out of thin air, just like the strange appearance when he appeared.

Coming back to his senses, barely stopping the turmoil in his heart, Lan Sha calmly waved his hand: "From now on, please ask Uncle Xiong and them to come in." ”

"Yes!"

......

In the city, the third floor of a high-end restaurant with a luxurious exterior but a smashing interior was smashed.

"City Lord's Mansion, hehe, I knew it would be here, it's really uncreative......" Pressing the window lattice with his hand, squinting at the City Lord's Mansion that was tightly guarded in the direction of the city, Tang En couldn't help but pout, "Is it interesting, I always play this kind of local tyrant trick who doesn't live if I don't match my identity." ”

It's no wonder that Don En complained, because it seems that every power group that occupies the town will subconsciously expropriate the original symbol of the city's rights, the City Lord's Mansion, as their temporary headquarters.

It certainly wouldn't be for the sake of safety, in that case, the noble castle in the eastern part of the city would be the best choice. It is certainly not for strategic reasons, in that case, the city gate is the most important military stronghold...... Thinking about it, only the reason for matching the identity can explain the current convention.

Of course, it's just a complaint. In fact, Don still appreciates this rule, because it can make it easier to assassinate.

He didn't observe for long, let alone do it directly. After keeping the general appearance of the City Lord's Mansion in mind, Tang En Shi Shiran went downstairs, bypassed the City Lord's Mansion, and walked towards Dongcheng District.

The heavily guarded position does not properly represent that the mysterious barbarian commander is here, or it may be that the suspicious array is arranged, so a lot of work needs to be done.

Fortunately, Don is not short of time now, let alone impatient......
