Chapter 904
The next day, the sunset is setting, and dusk is coming. The chapter is updated the fastest
On the official road several miles outside the small town, looking at the ancient city wall covered with the afterglow of the fallen clouds and dyed with a layer of heroic colors, a group of more than ten people dressed in disguise, dressed up as if they were almost the same as homeless people. They couldn't help but whistle to the sky and cheer.
"Oh, the great god of wilderness is here...we finally arrived alive..."
"Lucky, luck, this time it's really good luck..."
"Caote Mother, those Brands are absolutely crazy. They don't go to the front battlefield, but come to stop us... It's true, Caiote Mother..."
Someone who caresses his chest to thank the gods, or swears to relieve the tense nerves. More than ten people scattered on the official road, jumping and hugging, cheering and celebrating like a madman, showing joy.
Of course, anyone who is in a mess during the heavy siege and pursuit will be in a desperate situation. The team has sharply reduced from more than a hundred elite scouts when they set out to more than ten homeless people today, and finally successfully arrives at their destination. They will have reason to be excited.
Oh, not all, one of the barbarians riding on the listless giant wolf was not happy, but Dong Zhang was quite confused. 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: "Sir, are you...uh, we are here?"
"Haha, it's right, we're here!" A few laughs to the sky, the middle-aged barbarian seemed very ecstatic, and then thought of something, patted Sabah on the shoulder, and explained in a gentle tone, "Sorry, Brother Sabah, I couldn't talk to you more because of the mission regulations, now..." He pointed to the city wall in the distance, and sighed with some gratitude, "This is the destination of this trip. We have successfully completed the mission...
Before he finished speaking, the barbarian who was asking about it suddenly burst into laughter. He looked like he changed his face, and his expression was so excited that he was extremely excited, "Haha... I'm a sage! I've been alive! Hurry... Hahaha..."
Crazy laughter mixed with a series of swear words. The crazy look made the middle-aged barbarian beside him frightened. The giant green armored wolf under him subconsciously retreated a little, then shook his head speechlessly, not knowing whether it was contempt or envious, and muttered to himself. "What a lucky guy..."
If the mission is successful, the more than ten people who survived will naturally have great contributions. However, in the eyes of the middle-aged barbarians, if anyone gets the most benefits in this, it should be the guy in front of him who also rides the giant wolf in the green armor. Thinking about the appreciation of the general when he came, he knew that the other party would not only get this contribution, but his future status would also have a qualitative leap after returning, which is really enviable...
However, the middle-aged barbarian did not notice that the lucky guy he said was ecstatic, although he looked at the tall city wall in the distance, a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes!
Haha. Have you finally found it? The mysterious barbarian commander...
Squinted his eyes, Tang En took a light breath, instantly suppressing the murderous intent and emotion that appeared in his heart. Then he moved his eyes and joined the celebration and cheer as usual...
After a while, after packing up his excitement, more than ten people set out again. This time, without the encouragement and order from the middle-aged barbarian officer, the team quickly approached the distant city wall.
Maybe it was because of a good mood, or maybe it was because it wanted to lay a solid foundation for future relationships. As soon as the team set off, the middle-aged barbarian officer took the initiative to go to the same place with Tang En, looking for various topics to chat.
Tang En naturally would not refuse this. While flattering the remaining Dark Snake Guards, he kept patting the horses of the middle-aged barbarian officers. Zhiru's operation was successful because of the other party's wise leadership, etc. On the other hand, he showed a look of worry intentionally or unintentionally, pointing out the difficult problems of how they should deal with when they go back...
It turned out that the horse was not in vain. After a series of inspections, when the team stepped into the city to submit information to their superiors, the middle-aged barbarian officer took the opportunity to tell him about his journey and secretly expressed his concern about his safety.
The result was good. They did not throw them away like toilet paper. The superior intelligence agency 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 after they went back...
Of course, the latter has nothing to do with Tang En. All he wants is not to be driven out of the city immediately.
Three days are enough!
...
Quiet all night.
Tang En did not take action immediately, nor did he take any tentative measures in the dark, and did not even collect necessary information around him. After entering the designated area last night, he closed his eyes and slept beautifully, very at ease.
Of course, this does not mean that Tang En is not in a hurry. In fact, because of Joshia's safety, he had thought about asking about the destination several times on the way, and then leaving the intelligence team behind, and came here alone. But in the end he still held back and followed the team slowly, and became more calm after entering the city... The reason is very simple. Compared with the quick knife to cut the mess, Tang En understood better what it means to be a mountain Jiuren and fail!
Some things are not worthy of being told by outsiders, but the fact is that assassination is really a skillful job. It involves all aspects, and even mental conditions may have a huge impact on the results... In short, it is to be in a panic, unable to afford to wait, let it go, and it will come naturally, and it will be the best state.
Moreover, the preliminary preparations for the assassination operation are much more complicated than those in the later stages, and there are more traps. An inconspicuous mistake, no matter how high the strength is, it is not an exaggeration to say - this is why Wu Ding must let Tang En take action. No matter how professional it is!
The next morning, Tang En, who had been regaining his energy all night, and his body and mental state were adjusted to his best condition, opened the door and walked out, took a deep breath, the cold wind penetrated his mind, and his spirit was immediately revived.
I glanced around and didn't observe clearly last night. I only knew that my living place was probably in Beicheng District. Now Tang En realized that the land under his feet seemed to be in the wealthy business manor.
Of course, the original owner of this exquisite manor has long left. And he should have walked in a hurry at that time, and he could easily see all kinds of discarded objects everywhere. However, the overall building was still intact, and even the fountain of the statue of God of Light in the middle of the small square not far away was not destroyed. However, the garden on one side seemed a bit dilapidated. Winter is not the season for flowers to bloom. In addition, the leaves falling from the ground that no one cleaned them. It was mixed with the rain, mud, and even messy days ago.
After roughly observing, Tang En thought about it and did not walk towards the gate not far away, but tidied up his animal skin clothes, turned to another residential area. He didn't look for it for long, and he smiled and greeted him. "Haha, sir, good morning."
"Uh...oh, it's Sabah brother." The middle-aged barbarian officer looked up and down at Tang En's pretty neat outfit and asked in surprise, "Are you going out?"
"Yes, I used to stay in the army, and I haven't seen seriously what Bran's city looks like... together?"
"Ha, it sounds like a good plan. But sorry. I'm going to the intelligence center today, or you call me. Uh..." After a pause, the middle-aged barbarian officer couldn't continue because he suddenly remembered the bad relationship between Tang En and the Dark Snake Guard who came with him.
Hey, I knew you wouldn't go... Tang En just wanted to report it, so that his next scouting action would not be suspicious. Of course, he still looked regretful on the surface and shook his head: "That's it, then forget it, I'd better go around alone."
"Well, okay, bring your identity sign and be careful not to cause misunderstandings..." After hesitating, the middle-aged barbarian officer unconsciously lowered his voice, "This place is not simple, no one can protect you if it causes trouble."
"I understand, thank you for your reminder." Nonsense, if this was simple, would I have been running far away so hard?
After chatting for a few more words, Tang Eng said goodbye to the middle-aged barbarian officer, walked out of the manor, and officially embarked on the schedule...
At this time, Lansha officially started the day's work in a conference hall where the city lord's mansion was originally gathered for discussion.
Although it has been said before that in the current battle, her role as the Supreme Commander of the Northern Wilderness has very little effect, so it is boring. But that is only relative. In fact, not to mention wartime, even in normal times, her Supreme Commander of the Army will have a lot of military affairs to deal with.
But it was still early, and a group of old barbarian generals were older, and they had not yet been able to get up and recover, so there was still some time before the routine military morning meeting. Therefore, in the empty conference hall, there were only Lansha and various military official documents piled up on the table.
Oh, no, maybe there is someone... Frowning his nose, Lansha put down the book in his hand, frowned slightly, and said softly helplessly: "Grandpa Bamutu, you have drunk again. You shouldn't drink if you are in poor health."
There was only Lansha in the room, and the closest one was Andre and other guards guarding outside the door. This was more like a soft voice that was talking to himself, and it was obviously impossible to reach outside the door. However, what was even more strange was that as soon as Lansha finished speaking, a slightly old voice was directly connected.
"Uh, have you been discovered? I still smell of alcohol... Haha..." A hint of embarrassing laughter suddenly appeared in a calm lake, and then a gray-haired old barbarian appeared out of thin air, with a smile on his lips, "But this time I was not drinking secretly, but someone came to treat me."
If Tang En, who was still strolling in the city at this time, would probably recognize the old man at a glance, who was the unfathomable administrator in the Beihuang Imperial City Library. Of course, the subsequent reaction was probably to turn around and go as far as you can...
"Someone please?" Lan Sha was stunned when she heard this. She knew Bamutu's true identity, and knew that the only one who came with her to protect her safety this time should be her own and her mother... But then she thought of something and nodded: "Is it my brother?"
Tiwu is also a core member of the royal family, so he naturally knows Bamutu's identity. In addition, it was very rare for him to be invited to drink... Well, this is not difficult to guess, at least for Lansha's IQ.
He shook his head in surprise, "Girl, you are too smart. Be careful not to get married in the future, haha." Bamutu smiled and nodded, "No, it's your good brother."
After a moment of pause, he looked at Lansha's calm expression, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Don't you want to know the purpose of his invitation to me to drink?"
"I don't want to." Lansha simply shook her head, and then a trace of bitterness appeared on the corner of her mouth, "But you can roughly guess."
This is a fact. Although Bamutu's true identity is few, everyone who knows it is very clear how terrifying the old man, who seems to be old, has in the Northern Wilderness Tribe. It is no exaggeration to say that his attitude also has a very important influence on the candidates for the successors of the royal family... In this way, the purpose of Tiwu's search for him is naturally self-evident.
"Haha, I know I can't hide it from you. That's right, he is testing. Although he didn't say it directly, the meaning is almost that." Bamutu walked down at the table, took the teacup handed to Lansha, took a sip. He sighed, "Girl, escaping cannot solve any problem. Some things may end up getting worse."
Without saying it clearly, but Lansha certainly understood the meaning. She could find an excuse to evade Andre, Old General Xiong and others, but she could not avoid the seemingly turbid old eyes in front of her. She was silent for a moment and whispered to herself: "But that's my brother, and it was me who really stole his position..."
"Wrong, our Beihuang tribe advocates the precepts of the weak, and it is an indisputable fact that you are better than him. How can you say "snatch the word "?" Bamutu shook his head, "In fact, if you make a decision, you are actually saving him... With his identity, even if you are willing to let him become the next emperor of the Beihuang, how many tribes will submit to him? With your intelligence, it is not difficult to imagine that this will be another internal battle of killing each other. At that time, you will still need to come forward, and he will become a sinner in the tribe's history throughout the ages!"
Lansha was silent again. With her wisdom, she didn't know such a truth. No matter how outstanding IQ or rational thinking was, she would become a mud before facing the blood-thicker than water. This is the so-called truth that it is difficult for honest officials to make a decision on family affairs in this world.
To be honest, she didn't want to make a choice, although it was easy. She was still lucky, so she was waiting for Tiwu to make this choice - if he could see the situation clearly and take the initiative to stop, it would undoubtedly be the best situation at the moment.
But will my brother stop...
The answer is obvious, but Lansha was unwilling to think about it, so she pursed her lips, and said more like a different topic: "My mother often says 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 teacup, Bamutu's face was calm, "And in fact, I am already neutral enough. Otherwise, he would have died from the moment he knew that he might affect the tribe and the royal family was stable."
"Grandpa Bamutu..." Bamutu frowned again when he heard this, obviously displeased.
"It's just a saying, didn't you take action?" Bamutu smiled disconcerted and said, "It's just that you, a girl, think about him everywhere, but he may not be able to win your affection. Well, he hurried back from the front this time, not just to invite me, the old guy to have a drink. You'd better be wary of it."
Lansha shook her head and smiled disconcertedly: "It's not that you are protecting Grandpa Bamutu, what else do I need to be afraid of?"
"Ha, sweet-mouthed girl, I'm not invincible in the world... And, this is a matter of time, you have to prepare early." After pausing, Bamutu hesitated for a moment, and said, "Do you think that after knowing that Tiwu might be ill-intentioned, why would the wise Queen, who has always been wise, let him appear in the army with you?"
After the words came, Lansha's delicate body suddenly shook, confused, unbelievable, sad... In just a moment, her expression changed.
Compared to her hesitant herself, Lansha knew very well that her mother, the Queen, had always been an absolutely rational person. In this way, she agreed to join the army with her who had not cared about before, and the meaning was obvious... She knew that Tiwu would move, and she wanted to let Tiwu force herself to make a choice!
Dongdongdongdongdongdong, three polite knocks on the door, and the wooden door of the conference hall was pushed open from outside, revealing Andre's figure, "Your Highness, Mr. Xiong and others have arrived, so wait outside and ask when will the morning meeting start?"
After being stunned, Lansha subconsciously looked at the table. Bamutu, who was sitting there holding a teacup the moment ago, had disappeared out of thin air, just like the strange appearance when it appeared.
After coming back to his senses, he barely stopped the turmoil in his heart. Lansha calmed down and waved: "Start now, please Uncle Xiong and the others come in."
"yes!"
...
In the city, a luxury restaurant with a luxurious exterior but a smashed interior.
"City Lord's Mansion? Haha, I knew it would be here. It's really uncreative..." He pressed the window frame and squinted his eyes and looked at the city lord's mansion that was strictly guarded in the direction of the city. Tang En couldn't help but curl his lips, "Is it interesting? I always play this kind of tycoon trick that doesn't move in if he doesn't match his identities."
No wonder Tang En complained, because it seems that every force group that occupied the town would subconsciously requisition the original symbol of city rights, the City Lord's Mansion, as their temporary command center.
This is definitely not for safety reasons. In that case, the noble castle in Dongcheng District is the best choice. It is definitely not for strategic considerations. In that case, the city gate is the most important military stronghold... After thinking about it, it can only be explained by the reason for matching identities.
Of course, it's just a complaint. In fact, Tang En still appreciates this rule very much, because it can reduce the difficulty of assassination.
He didn't observe for long, nor did he do it directly. After remembering the general appearance of the City Lord's Mansion in his heart, Tang En went downstairs, walked around the City Lord's Mansion, and walked towards the East City District.
The strict guarding does not necessarily mean that the mysterious barbarian commander is here. It may also be because of the old suspicion array, so a lot of scouting work is needed.
Fortunately, Tang En does not lack time now, nor does he lacks patience...
