"Mother...My mother? Why are you here?"

On the river, just as Tang En and his friends waited for the people coming to pick them up. In the tribal army slowly advancing in the hinterland in the rear, Lansha also welcomed a special guest, her mother, the Queen of the Northern Wilderness!

"The imperial city is too noisy, I'll hide here and you." After taking off the cloak, the queen seemed to be in a good mood. She chuckled and stroked Lansha's shawl's hair, "Why, isn't you welcome?"

"Of course not." Lan Sha subconsciously shook her head, then thought of the first half of the queen's words, Xiumei frowned and asked tentatively, "Is it the tribe forces in the imperial city... unstable?"

"Haha, that's not that, they don't have the courage either." The queen smiled and waved her hand, paused, and looked at Lansha and continued to chuckle, "It's just that it's annoying to advise all day long... Well, after all, there are only two things, and they are all related to you."

"My mother, please sit down, come and have a cup of hot tea."

"Yes." Sitting in the position of the commander in the central army tent, looking at the strategic topographic map on the table in front of him, the queen said inadvertently, "The first thing is that you have not returned for a long time. The funeral in Tiwu cannot be held as scheduled, so you cannot be buried in the soil."

"Funeral?" Lan Sha's delicate body was shocked when she heard this. She subconsciously raised her head, looking at the queen with disbelief, "Brother... die, die?"

"Huh? Don't you know?" Looking at Lan: Chang: Fengsha's expression of shock was unconcealed. The queen was also stunned, and her brows frowned for a moment, "He was intercepted and killed by an unknown small tribe more than a hundred kilometers away from the imperial city... Don't you know? I clearly sent someone to notify you."

"It was my negligence." In the center of the tent, Bamutu appeared out of thin air with shame. He bowed and apologized. "I have been recuperating a few days ago. But I forgot to convey the bad news to Your Highness."

"Oh..." After a pause, the queen looked at Bamutu with slightly drooping eyes and suddenly nodded, meaningful. But it just flashed and then waved her hands gently, "Since there is a reason for it, Ba Lao doesn't need to worry. Anyway, it's up to me to say now, the result is the same."

Things can be big or small. If it is placed on an ordinary messenger, it will be enough to die many times on the charge of negligence and dereliction of duty. But with the status of Ba Lao, whether it is intentional or intentional, only a gesture of apologizing, which is a small matter that has been brought up in one sentence.

At this time, "Brother..." Although he could only come back to his senses, Lan Sha, who was still in a daze, asked in a daze, "Is he really killed by the small tribe... and died?"

"It's ridiculous? I felt the same way at that time. I suspected that the small tribe did not have such courage. I doubted whether someone secretly instructed the murder behind me. But..." After exhaling, the queen's eyes drooped slightly, as if she was sad. "There were a large group of wild wolf riders who happened to pass by as evidence, and after a long-term investigation afterwards. This is indeed the case!"

“Yes, is it…”

Of course this is not the case. Not many people are fools, let alone the daughter of the man who inherited himself and the famous man in the continent and possessed a demonic military talent, looking at Lan Sha's eyes and expressions without any decline. The queen had a headache and had the urge to rub her eyebrows.

I have to say that Bamutu's move to Lansha's not conveying the news of Tiwu has made her very passive now. She was so passive that she could only break the topic apart and waved her hand reluctantly, "Okay, let's not talk about these things now. The matter has happened, and the anger of the royal family has been vented. Then when you go back to attend the funeral and meet Tiwu for the last time, this matter ends here... Well, let's talk about the situation of the army, you seem to have reached some kind of cooperation agreement with the gray-clothed army?"

The queen can change the topic and control her emotions at will because she was the one who operated it. And Lansha, who had heard the news of Tiwu's death, would certainly not be so relaxed. But then again, no matter how Lansha suspected it, she would never know the inside story, and she still couldn't believe that Tiwu died at the hands of her mother...

This is unreasonable. The tiger has no food to eat, right?

Taking a deep breath and forcing himself to calm down, Lansha nodded: "Well, I promised to lead their army to conquer the entire north of Bran, and asked that the territory north of Fenghuo City after the war must belong to our tribe... The specific situation, Grandpa Bamutu should have told his mother."

Unreasonable does not mean that Lan Sha completely believes that his mother is completely innocent in the matter of her brother, so her tone is inevitably a bit stiff. It is not considered hostile, but a bit complicated and unfamiliar...

The queen could naturally hear the meaning of it, but she didn't care and chose to ignore it directly. She believed that as time goes by, these estrangements will eventually pass through this matter, because Lansha is her daughter!

He sighed with his palms, and his pride was revealed, "Beautiful! Go with the flow and use your own strength. Without spending a soldier and a general, he will take back the territory of the tribe's ancestors. With this record alone, the mainland's war history will surely have a place for my daughter!"

"What the Empress said is that Your Highness will be honored and celebrated by future generations." Bamutu also expressed emotion and said. This is not a flattery. People who have reached their level of status do not need to flatter to anyone.

Then, without waiting for Lansha to wave his hand, the queen smiled and continued, "Lansha, since you have commanded the gray-clothed army, you have some understanding of their combat power. Well, let's talk about it."

Lan Sha heard this and thought about it and said seriously: "The army structure of the Gray Clothes Army is relatively simple. There are not many soldiers who have received regular military training. Most of the generals and officials are born in the grass, and their tactical strategies are not very standardized. In terms of combat effectiveness alone, the soldiers of the Gray Clothes Army should be weaker than the Bran regular army. But... for example, if it is a short-term encounter, not to mention the purple-bore cannon, the same number of Gray Clothes Army will not be the opponent of the Bran regular army. But if it is a long-term battle, the final victory will definitely be the Gray Clothes Army!"

"Oh? Why is this? Is there any obvious difference between the two?" the queen asked with interest.

"There are many differences. In the short-term encounter, the two sides compete in the tactical qualities of the generals, the individual combat capabilities of soldiers, the fineness of weapons and armor, etc. These things can be seen or easily noticed. However, long-term and long-term combat, these things are no longer necessary. Or they are only in a secondary position. At that time, the areas of competition between the two sides will be expanded and upgraded. In addition to these things, there are also spiritual things such as will, morale, etc. Mother, you know, once something involves the spiritual level, it becomes no longer easy to control and infer...

…To put it bluntly, if the battlefield is in poor mountains and rivers, there is no retreat, no logistics supply, nothing. Even soldiers cannot receive military pay, nor can they see military merits and honors... In this case, I think even the regular Bran Army, who has received good military training, will not have much morale and fighting spirit left. But the gray-clothed army is different. They are used to and even familiar with this combat environment. They have no military pay, logistics supply, etc. before, and they do not need it. As long as there are roots of turf, trees, they will have the strength to raise the weapons in their hands again."

"For them, war is not a shortcut to honor, but a demand for survival. Just like they grew vegetables and harvested food in their own fields before joining the Gray Clothes Army, that is a survival instinct!"

"This combat attitude, coupled with the missionary ideas that the senior executives of the Gray-Clothed Army have been persisting in promoting. This army cannot be killed! It cannot be killed! It can be called terrifying and terrifying!"

By giving such a long analysis and evaluation in one breath, we can see that Lansha has indeed had a very profound study of the Gray-Clothed Army. Moreover, this study is not only in the military field, but also obviously involves other things... It is precisely because of this that when making the final summary evaluation, Lansha's tone and expression were extremely solemn.

This also affected the queen and Bamutu on the side. They were either shocked or thoughtful, and the tent fell into silence for a moment.

Of course, unlike Lansha who had experienced personally, although these two people were shocked by the gray-clothed army, they were probably due to Lansha's attitude and their feelings were not so strong. So after a brief loss of consciousness, the queen took the lead in coming back to her senses and breaking the silence.

"So, how powerful are their combat power compared to my tribe warriors?"

Lan Sha was stunned when she heard this, realizing something, looking at the chuckling queen gradually frowned: "This is the second thing my mother said before, what I have to do with me?"

"Yes." Nodded, the queen rubbed her eyebrows lightly, "Let's not talk about the others for now, just go to the gray-clothed army to help our tribe successfully get back to its former territory. We must thank them. But now that the cooperation is over, we will return to our previous position, so we will no longer owe them... Well, this is the patriarch of each tribe..."

Lansha interrupted directly: "What do you mean by Mother?"

The queen spread her hands and pointed to the place where she stood at her feet, and she was just talking nonsense.

"I don't agree!"

"I know, so I'm here." Compared to Lansha's somewhat excited attitude, the queen seemed very calm.

"This is destroying the city wall!" Lansha waved excitedly, "Our goal now is to defeat Bran, rather than fight on both sides and be attacked from both sides!"

"Is this the real reason for your denial?" The queen turned her head and looked at Lansha and said softly, "It's not because of that Tangen?"

"Uh..." Lan Sha was stunned and subconsciously turned to look at Bamutu. The latter had a normal expression, and he really had nothing to be ashamed of. As a native of the Northern Wilderness, loyalty to the Queen was a matter of course. This naturally included the detailed communication between Lan Sha and Tang En to the Queen.

"My mother, you're kidding!" Lansha's face darkened, "I am the commander of the tribal army. Every decision I make is naturally considered for the overall tribal situation..."

"Is that?" interrupted with a wave of hand, and the queen looked faint: "From the overall situation of the tribe, can you explain why the army is slowing down its advancement today?"

Lan Sha was stunned when he heard this and was silent.

What is the reason, it goes without saying. And no matter what it is, it will never be what Lansha said before, and the tribal soldiers are not adapted to the Bran climate environment... These reasons can scare the tribal soldiers who are not very smart, but they will definitely not scare the queen.

"Haha, I feel really regretful when I think about it. When he was in the Northern Imperial City, I saw some signs between you two. But I didn't pay enough attention to it at that time and let him go. As a result... not only did I make a big fuss in the imperial city before leaving, but now I come to provoke you. I really don't know how to live or die..."

"It's not because of him..." Lan Sha's face turned pale with his fists tightly.

"Look, you are still protecting him. Even though you know that he has not only had a formal lover, but also a child... you are still explaining to him... Lansha, Lansha, you should think about your identity. You are His Highness, the future Queen of the Northern Wilderness! I won't say anything about the man who robs other women... Do you still want to share a man with other women?!"

Suddenly, the queen, who had always looked faint, was finally angry. Looking at Lansha who was muttering, she shook her head in disappointment, "Please hand over the military power, someone will take over the military matters. As for you, it's time to calm down and wake up!"

After the words came, the queen stopped looking at the lost Lansha and walked out of the tent. At this moment, suddenly,

"I don't agree."

After a pause, the queen turned her head in shock, looked at Bamutu who suddenly spoke, and was stunned, then shook her head and laughed, "Ba, are you going to plead for Lansha? Or... for that Tang En?"

With Palmud's status, even if he does not understand military and political affairs, he is naturally qualified to give his own opinions and suggestions to the queen. However, it is precisely because of this that the queen is even more confused.

"That boy doesn't need me to plead for him." Bamutu pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a wry smile, "The one-month period was given to him by His Highness. To be honest, I thought it was ridiculous before. But now, unless Your Highness takes back this statement himself, no one should interfere, even if it is Her Majesty, you."

"Why?" Frowning, the queen didn't care about these disrespectful words, but asked very seriously.

"Because if he wants to assassinate anyone now, no one can stop him." Bamutu gave a simple reason, and he had no choice but to spread his hands, "Including me."

The queen was stunned: "...are you sure?"

"I'm sure!"

The simplest reason is also the fatal reason.

The reason is that, Tang En felt guilty about Lansha, especially after the other party agreed to give a one-month deadline. But this was just for Lansha, not including others. In other words, even if Lansha suddenly retracted the one-month deadline, that was also worthy of it, Tang En would not say anything. But if someone took back the one-month deadline, it would affect his actions to rescue Xia Wei'an...

hehe……

With Tang En's current strength, of course, he is not the best in the world. But with his assassination skills, if he wants to kill someone after getting angry, even if he is the best in the world, he will have to be afraid of it!

This is the real strength of the killer and the charm of the killer!

Of course, the situation is different now. The queen is Lansha's mother, and no matter whether Tang En will really attack her after the incident, she only talks about the current queen, as long as she persuades Lansha to withdraw this month's deadline...

Realizing this, the queen turned her head again, but found that her daughter, Lansha, had no idea when she walked out of the tent and lifted the curtain, and only a relaxed and pleasant word passed through the curtain.

"My mother, you are right. I'll wake up now."

“…”
