Chapter 912 I Am Not the Commander-in-Chief, I Am a Hostage...
"Ha, yes, I'm that good!"
I have to say that there is some truth in the old saying that those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black. .. Look at Lan Sha, how she behaved like a calm and cold queen when they first met, but after getting to know Tang En, what is her current situation? Faced with ridicule and praise, he admitted it so narcissistically...
shameless! Today's young people don't know how to be low-key at all... Tang En, who curled his lips and was completely unaware of where Lansha's change came from, secretly cursed a few words after hearing this, and then asked curiously: "So, it doesn't matter whether you are here or not. , it will have no impact on the army at all?”
"To say that there will be no impact at all is of course impossible. However, I have made sufficient preparations for this before and can minimize the impact." Wrinkling her delicate nose, Lan Sha complained, "I expected Bran to come. Although I thought the success rate of the assassination was not high, I still made arrangements to prevent accidents. But Grandpa Bamutu turned out to be unreliable and let you sneak in..."
"Correction, I didn't sneak in, I used my real ability to lurk in."
"Tsk, you are lucky. If Grandpa Bamutu hadn't been greedy and made things worse, Brother Accept..." The words suddenly stopped, and Lansha looked a little sad for a moment. The timing of Tiwu's return this time was too coincidental. If Lansha hadn't noticed it because he hadn't thought about it before. After seeing Tang En sneaking in smoothly and Bamutu being late, he undoubtedly knew Tiu's role as an accomplice... But, brother, do you really want to kill me...
"What's wrong?" Looking at Lansha who suddenly became quiet in the middle of speaking, Tang En asked inexplicably.
"Oh, it's nothing..." After reacting, Lansha shook his head lightly, his expression returned to normal, and he casually changed the topic, "It feels a bit strange. Well, before, I thought it would be someone sent by Bran to assassinate him. But I didn't expect it. It's you."
Although the topic was turned awkwardly. But Tang En didn't go into details. He spread his hands helplessly and said, "What do you think I think? To tell you the truth, if you hadn't attacked the gray army, I would be thinking about how to assassinate King Bran right now. What the hell? It’s made a name for itself.”
"Well... that's a coincidence..." Lan Sha couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then murmured thoughtfully. A vague idea suddenly came to my mind, but I couldn't grasp it for the moment. Thinking with a frown.
Tang En didn't notice Lan Sha's expression, because he also thought of something, and quickly asked: "By the way. You are the commander-in-chief of the Northern Wilderness, you should know what the gray-clothed army is doing now, right?"
"This. I don't know very well... It should be that both sides suffered casualties. The combat effectiveness of the Gray Army really surprised us."
Of course, this answer would not satisfy Tang En, but he had no intention of pressing him. He just raised his eyebrows and said, "Military secrets?" He shook his head, "No, I really don't know... Well, there are other things involved in this." . It’s hard to say... Just treat it as a military secret." The words were a bit vague and hesitant. But Lan Sha did not lie. Although her identity is the supreme commander of the Northern Wilderness Army, the army that attacked the Gray Clothes Army was led by Tiu. Given the current bad relationship between the two. Of course, Tiwu would not report everything, let alone such a somewhat embarrassing matter... He knew the information about the Gray Army's difficulty because Lan Sha accidentally learned it from his officers.
"That's it..." Tang En nodded slightly when he heard the words, thinking about Joshua, Frey and other acquaintances in the Gray Army, and sighed softly: "Then I hope they are all okay..."
Tang En was worried about the gray-clothed army, while Lansha was thinking about Tiwu. The atmosphere fell into a brief silence. Only the giant green-armored wolf that was spitting out white breath was still running at full speed, and its rough breathing was very clear. .
The speed of the blue-armored giant wolf at full speed is truly astonishing. Although it is completely incomparable with beasts like Tang En, when compared with other horse mounts, it is a complete blast - not just in terms of speed. , the adaptability to various terrains such as woods, hills, depressions, etc. is also completely stress-free.
What's even more worry-free is that this giant wolf doesn't need to be taken care of at all. When it's thirsty, it can take a few sips when passing by mountain springs and lakes. When it's hungry, it can jump into the forest to catch a few pheasants and hares. It can run while eating and can travel long distances. A must. Apart from being a little afraid of fire, it is simply a must-have product for traveling at home and selling goods...
It is no exaggeration to say that for the Wild Wolf Cavalry, the elite unit of the Northern Wilderness Royal Family, to have such a great reputation, the green-armored giant wolf must have played at least half of the role.
Thanks to the giant wolf's non-stop running, Tang En and the two of them have now completely left the outskirts of the small town. I don't know if there are any pursuers behind me, but at least I can't see them in my field of vision.
After a while, Lan Sha put on the cleaned glasses and pushed them up again. Lansha finally caught the vague thoughts that suddenly appeared in his mind and broke the silence: "By the way, where are we going now... Oh, yes Where are you taking me?”
"...If I said I didn't know, would you believe it?" After thinking about it, Tang En still spread his hands helplessly. That's the fact. He came to kill people single-handedly. How could he expect to bring a hot potato with him when he went back? The plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and now I can only be dumbfounded. Running south now is just Tang En's subconscious desire to get close to Bran and leave this chaotic battlefield...
"I believe it. What next, Mr. Kidnapper?" Lansha was calm. She believed that Tang En did not expect that the mysterious commander of the Northern Wilderness would be her when he came, but so what, she was a hostage now, so of course she had to be confident about the escape route. Listen to the kidnappers.
But this kidnapper is unreliable... After scratching his head, Tang En asked tentatively: "Do you have any suggestions? Or..." He raised his hand and pointed upward, "Let Mr. Ba come down and we can discuss it together? "
Of course this was nonsense. Tang En knew that Lao Ba was definitely following him in the dark, but if he really listened to his opinion, those people might as well just go back to the small town.
"How about we go to the Gray Army's station and have a look." Blinking his eyes, Lansha actually gave the suggestion and analyzed it in detail, "Since you don't plan to hand me over to King Bran's court, then we There is no way to go to the northern hinterland of Bran. It would be safer to go to the territory of the Gray Army... Well, I also want to take a look and see what kind of soldiers can actually stop the crazy warriors of my tribe. .”
"Go to the Gray Army's station?" Tang En couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, and then he thought about it and had to admit that this was indeed a good idea. His brief cooperation with Wooding was based on killing the mysterious barbarian commander. So if Woodin knew that instead of killing Lansha, he would take her back to Bran. I'm afraid that because of his reputation as a bully, Wooding would have to come over with his sword to kill Lansha himself... From this point of view, it was undoubtedly safe for them to go to the Gray Army's garrison. It is also the only option.
And the only option. Just the best choice.
However, when Tang En looked at Lan Sha's perfect profile, he was still hesitant for a moment. To be honest, Tang En was a little afraid of Lan Sha. He knew very well that this seemingly frail young woman had terrifying mental methods that could turn her hands into clouds and rain. So of course you have to think twice, think twice, and think twice about her unsolicited suggestions!
"What? You don't agree?" Looking back, Lansha looked calm as usual, but then he seemed to have remembered something. Suddenly he laughed, "Oh. I understand, are you afraid that I will use some tricks? Haha, don't worry... The leader of the gray army, named Josiah, is not your lover. So even for your sake, I won’t do anything harmful to the Gray Army this time. Well, I promise.”
"Uh. You know?" Tang En was truly stunned. Not paying attention to that guarantee, he replied stupidly.
"What... what about Joshua? Come on. It's easy to guess." Lansha spread his hands, looking relaxed, "I have read some information about the Gray Army. What kind of team is this? I'm very confused. It’s clear. You, a lone assassin, would join such a team and run around for it. Naturally, it cannot be for money.”…
After a pause, he glanced at Tang En, "In this case, there is only one possibility. Although I have never seen what Joshua looks like, but the intelligence says that she is very young and extremely beautiful..."
"Oh, stop it!" Tang En looked at Lansha with a ridiculous look on his face, "Do you think that besides money, men only see beautiful women?"
Shaking his head, Lan Sha said calmly: "Of course not, but in my opinion, at least you are right."
"…can I say dirty words?"
Lan Sha frowned, ignored it, and asked, "Agreed?"
"You have given such a strong reason, what else can I say?" He sighed. Although he still felt that Lansha had a purpose, Tang En, who had not been able to figure it out, could only agree with this only option. Nodding, "Agree! But you have to say hello to the person above you first, otherwise I won't dare to take you to the gray army station." This is a must. If it is not agreed upon, Tang En just brought Lan Sha here. Entering the territory of the Gray Army, Bamutu over there also held Josiah hostage and demanded exchange, which is called bloody.
Lansha simply nodded in agreement and turned his head.
"Uh, you haven't said hello yet."
Without looking back, a cold voice came, "Idiot! We have just come out not long ago and have not yet left the battlefield. Do you think Grandpa Bamutu will agree at this time?"
Tang En was stunned when he heard this, and knew that he had asked a stupid question. Now Bamutu must be thinking about how to rescue Lansha, so how could he agree to let Lansha go deep into the hinterland of Bran to commit danger? Only when they left the battlefield and set foot on the hinterland of Bran, with the work done, could Bamutu possibly agree...
However, even though he knew he was stupid, Tang En still grinned depressedly when he heard this, "Can't you explain it well? Why are you swearing? I'm asking for your opinion when I use foul language... Woman, it's really inexplicable."
Lansha didn't reply. In fact, she didn't hear this sentence at all. Facing the front where Tang En couldn't see, her face was cold and she secretly bit her lips. The fingers of both hands were tightly intertwined, causing bruises on each other...
It turns out that they are really lovers... Idiot! asshole! Bad guy...Josiah...good! I'd like to see how you look...
…
Obviously, Tang En overestimated Lan Sha's IQ. Or to be more precise, Tang En was deceived by Lan Sha's superb acting skills, and was tricked out of his relationship with Joshua without paying attention.
In fact, Lansha was in the Northern Wilderness. Even if he collected information about the Gray Army, how could he know about the relationship between Tang En and Joshua? You must know the relationship between the two. Even among Bran, apart from the Gray Army group, only a few people in the Sword God lineage such as Philip and Wooding know about it.
Therefore, Lan Sha had only made suspicions and guesses before, and said in a positive tone about the relationship between Tang En and Joshua, just to test it out. But then, after seeing the frightened Tang En's acquiescent attitude, Lan Sha undoubtedly confirmed this suspicion in an instant... and his mood suddenly deteriorated.
Tang En, who didn't know that he had been tricked, suddenly felt baffled when he heard the smelly tone and looked at Lan Sha's cold expression, refusing to let strangers in. He secretly complained to the other party whether his aunt suddenly came. Something like that, snickering. After psychological balance. So I didn’t bother myself by provoking him again.
There was no words all the way, and the atmosphere fell into silence again. The difference was that the silence this time was a bit long. It was not until lunch, when Tang En snatched the hare from the mouth of the resentful giant wolf, roasted it and handed it over, that Lansha returned to his normal state of speaking and laughing calmly. This also made Tang En feel very depressed. I sigh secretly that it’s really hard to guess a woman’s thoughts. Why don’t you just say it when you’re hungry? What kind of face are you showing...
Finished lunch first. Tang En took off his coat and turned his back to tinker with it for a while, then turned around. Holding a cloth rope in his hand, he said to Lansha with a smile: "Come, let's tie a red thread."…
Putting down the piece of meat in his hand, Lansha looked at the cloth rope doubtfully: "This is black."
"…You really have no sense of humor."
…
Not daring to delay, after filling their stomachs, Tang En and the two climbed onto the wolf's back again and hurried away. The only difference from before is that now Tang En and Lan Sha's left wrists were on their hands. They are tied together with a black cloth rope... Well. The material is taken from half of Tang En's coat.
Tang En naturally considered the reason for tying the rope - it was okay to be on the road. The two of them were riding on the wolf's back together, with their front clothes on top of each other. Tang En was absolutely sure that Nabamutu would not be able to find a chance to strike. But it's hard to talk about eating, sleeping, etc. It's not that he's afraid that Lan Sha will run away, but that Tang En is worried that he will inadvertently walk a few feet away. You know, it's only a matter of a few steps, and he might die after going for a while... …Now there is a rope attached to it, which can serve as a reminder.
Lansha didn't have any objections to this. Her current focus was on Tang En's casual allusion to the red thread. The latter's excuse was naturally the ancient customs of her hometown. But this made Lan Sha feel very good. Listen, the reason why male and female lovers can meet in this huge crowd and finally come together is because they are connected by a red thread of fate... Well, that's good. custom. Good things should be promoted. You can consider promoting them in the tribe...
Well, apart from Lansha's wandering thoughts, after the giant blue-armored wolf running at full speed ran for dozens of kilometers again, the two of them ran into trouble...
This is a very ordinary mound and depression, which is still some distance away from the mountain road. If they hadn't been riding a blue-armored giant wolf with extremely strong climbing ability, Tang En and the two would not have been able to find the hundreds of people lying down in this depression. A barbarian corpse.
This is a battlefield, and the presence of corpses is naturally a normal thing. But the key point is that these barbarian corpses are still warm and have a strong smell of blood. They obviously look like they have just died.
"They are the patrols stationed here." After quickly identifying the identities of these corpses, Lan Sha frowned slightly, looked around the surrounding terrain, and murmured thoughtfully, "A large number of Bran soldiers appeared here... …”
A group of more than a hundred barbarians is a considerable force. If they want to take it all in one go, the number of Bran's soldiers must reach five or even ten times in order to be able to complete the task in one battle. It is undoubtedly abnormal for so many Bran soldiers to suddenly come here, because this place now belongs to the Northern Wilderness tribe...
"You don't know?" Hearing Lan Sha's slightly surprised tone, Tang En was immediately stunned. "Didn't the scout captain who came with me say that Bran soldiers are extremely active here? He should have the same idea as me. , going for you... Uh, don't tell me that you didn't see this information and weren't prepared for it?"
Lansha immediately rolled his eyes when he heard this: "There is so much intelligence on the battle situation every day, how can I keep track of it? Besides, I have long known that Bran's army will follow the clues to find my location, so there is no problem with the defense of the small town."
Tang En was anxious: "It's not the small town's problem. So you didn't send people to clear this place?"
Lansha spread his hands: "Why do we need to clear the city? It's so easy to defend the city. It would be better if they come here to die. Why do we need to clear the enemy up and start a clearing?"
"Oh! You killed me!" Tang En's face suddenly turned bitter when he heard this. He put Lan Sha's shoulder on Lan Sha's shoulder and the two of them disappeared instantly, leaving the giant wolf lying on the slope waiting boredly. Ji Ling stood up, turned around cautiously, and then turned around blankly, wondering where the two masters had gone.
In fact, if it looks up, it will find that the two owners are standing in mid-air, looking down from front to back, left and right, and their expressions have changed drastically.
Teleportation to the other side is Tang En's most powerful skill at this stage. With this skill, Tang En does not need to fly, but he can achieve better effects than flying. It was also because of this skill that Tang En truly had the confidence to challenge the air-level warriors from another world!
However, looking down at the surrounding Bran army from a high altitude, Tang En's legs were a bit weak and his confidence was very low.
Can you rush out like this?
Licking his dry lips, "Is this what you said, there's no problem at all?"
"I mean the small town..." Lansha didn't have enough confidence, and she didn't expect that Bran would create such a huge battle when he was in such a critical situation. It's hard to say in Xiaocheng, but their current situation is undoubtedly tragic.
Taking a deep breath, "Huh... Commander-in-Chief, you are a professional. Please give me some constructive suggestions."
"...I am not the commander-in-chief, I am a hostage now."
"N--ma--"
………)
