Chapter 915 Successful Negotiation News From the Benefactor
After running out of this place of chaos, Tang En and his two men were now in the middle of the original Zichen defense zone and the Thunder defense zone. In this way, even though they haven't left the battlefield yet, they don't have to worry about being chased away again for a while.
As soon as he entered the mountains, Tang En found a leeward col and immediately put Lan Sha down. Then he lay on his back on the gentle slope and gasped, sweat pouring down from his body.
He had been running badly these past few days. Although his life was not in danger, it was unlikely that ordinary soldiers could hurt him. But the advantage of the human sea tactic is that it may not kill you, but it will definitely tire you out! Not to mention anything else, the thousands of soldiers who were chasing him stood still and allowed themselves to be slaughtered. Tang En wiped their throats one by one. Even if they wiped out their throats, it was impossible to kill them all...
Coupled with the large-area arrow shooting like just now, as well as the bombing with some small and easy-to-carry heavy battlefield weapons, Tang En had to speed up to dodge, or simply use the other side to teleport, and he was tired of running away.
This undoubtedly increased Tang En's burden. In addition, Bamutu was doing something secretly, and he was not allowed to sleep for days and nights... It is no exaggeration to say that if he hadn't listened to Lansha's analysis and knew that he would be able to come here to get a buffer if he persisted for a few days, Tang En would have wanted to turn around and rush immediately. Going back to the north, I would rather go into the Northern Wilderness tribe and make a big circle, spend ten and a half days and then run back to Bran, than suffer here. "Hey, get up." Lan Sha, who was standing aside, felt energetic after kicking Tang En's body. Of course, she had been staying on Tang En's back for the past few days. Apart from occasionally looking for directions, she would close her eyes and sleep when she was tired, and tear off a few slices of stored barbecue when she was hungry. It was a comfortable life.
"Don't make trouble. Let me take a breath first." He waved his hand. Tang En was still lying on the gentle slope with his eyes narrowed. But don’t even think about taking a break. Even though he seemed defenseless now, as soon as Bamutu, who was hiding in the dark, came closer, he would immediately stand up and enter a battle-ready state.
Lansha kicked a few more times: "Get up, let's solve the problem first. The Gray Army's territory is behind the Thunder Defense Zone. Although it's still some distance away, if you don't want to be unable to sleep all the way, take down Grandpa Bamutu first. Call us down to negotiate.”
Tang En opened his eyes immediately after hearing this. This was a big deal. He stood up from the ground, put the dagger on Lansha's neck again, and shouted to the dense forest on the hill a few hundred meters away: "Ba Lao, stop playing hide and seek, come out and I have something to say."
"Hmph!" With a soft snort, Bamutu's figure appeared from the dense forest in the distance. With just one step, he was five feet in front of the two of them in a breath. He squinted and looked at Tang En seriously, as if for the first time. know. He curled his lips and said, "You little Bran kid has a dog's nose. His senses are quite sensitive." To be honest, Bamutu is a little depressed now. In the past few days, as Tang En and the two traveled hundreds of kilometers, they could not find a suitable opportunity to take action, so they were very frustrated. It wasn't that he had never tried forceful action, but Tang En's perception of danger was beyond his expectation. No matter what hidden methods he used, the dagger would be set up over there every time he didn't get close. If it is an accident once or twice, then it is worth pondering that it is like this every time...
Is the other party's perception still superior to his? !
Realizing this, Bamutu was shocked. Coupled with the careful observation in the past few days, I saw Tang En's abnormal speed, short-distance teleportation, and elusive movement skills... If Bamutu didn't think highly of Tang En before, he thought that the other party could hold him hostage. Lansha took advantage of him when he was not prepared. Now Bamutu no longer has any contempt. Although I still don't think Tang En's strength can match his, I have to admit that the other party now has the ability to threaten him!
"Haha, you are too murderous. The smell of blood wafts in the wind. It's hard not to notice." Tang En shrugged easily and replied as if he was joking. But this is actually the fact. Tang En doesn't understand perception, he only knows murderous intent. What's more, in the field of hiding and tracking, Bamutu is really inferior to him. In this way, in Tang En's eyes, Bamutu, who was full of murderous intent, was undoubtedly a huge and translucent lighting crystal. If he wanted to know where the location was, he could easily tell it at a glance.
However, Bamutu naturally didn't know the inside story. He said with a gloomy old face: "Don't talk nonsense. Why are you here with me?"
"Grandpa Bamutu, I'm looking for you." At this time, Lansha, who had previously remained silent whenever it came to kidnapping matters, which made Bamutu and others very puzzled by his attitude, spoke up and pushed away the dagger from his neck with a smile. , "Grandpa Bamutu, we are now thousands of miles away from the small town. You have seen how Tang En treats me in the past few days. You should know that he has no murderous intentions towards me, right? A lot of words."
"Huh, that's because this kid knows that I'm following..." He subconsciously retorted, but Bamutu knew that this was untenable. Not to mention that Tang En had indeed protected Lansha well during the heavy siege in the past few days, but he had not appeared in the small town before, and Tang En did not take the opportunity to assassinate Lansha. This is an indisputable fact. So after a pause, he waved and said, "Girl, what do you want to say?"
Lansha narrowed his eyes and smiled, like a little fox, clasping his fingers and analyzing: "Grandpa Bamutu, look, the current situation is like this. The overall situation of the border war has been decided. In addition to the necessary mopping up, what will happen next? The next fight is to invade the northern hinterland of Bran. As you know, after breaking through the border blockade, apart from the city, there is almost no systematic defense line in the northern hinterland of Bran to defend. In other words, as long as we stabilize the territory now, we can think about it when We can attack Brandu, there is no rush..."
Bamutu was silent, not thinking about these words, but waiting for Lansha to reveal his true intention. Tang En raised his brows when he heard this, thinking that Bran was really at the end of his strength. Without Ziyi, he would be like a piece of meat exposed on a chopping board, and he would take it for granted.
"Now, let's take a look at our current situation." He pointed at himself and then at Tang En, who was shaking his head and opening his mouth, yawning, looking uninterested... After glaring at Lan Sha, he continued, " You have the highest strength. It is not difficult to kill Tang En, so Tang En can't believe you. Tang En has your weak spot, which is me. It's even easier for him to kill me, so you can't believe it either. Him. Of course, there is nothing we can do about him for the time being... Don't rush to deny it, Grandpa Bamutu, although I am not familiar with martial arts, I also know that you have tried secretly several times in the past few days, but none of them succeeded. "
Not just a few times. Many times...Twain curled his lips. There is also a lot of resentment in my heart. If it weren't for this old guy getting in the way. Why is he so embarrassed?
Bamutu's eyes twitched when he heard this. With his state of mind, he is not ashamed to admit this fact. It just sounds a little weird, as if Lansha and Tang En are in the same group, and he is an outsider...
"Look, the situation is like this now. No matter how much the stalemate continues, there won't be any big changes. Even if the situation doesn't improve, in the end, everyone will be forced to fight to the death! So I propose."
Raising her tone, Lan Sha raised her left hand that was tied to Tang En, "You and Tang En can make peace with Tang En for the time being. I also want to go to the Gray Army garrison with Tang En..."
Bamutu's expression suddenly changed when he heard this: "What nonsense! Girl, you..."
He waved his hand to interrupt, "Listen to me, Grandpa Bamutu. We are going to the Gray Army's station, not to Bran. You are well aware of the relationship between the Gray Army and Bran. Tang En took me there because of me. For safety reasons. And this idea was proposed by me, not Tang En." Lansha spread his hands, "Anyway, we have come out now. It's too late to go back. What's more, I have made arrangements in advance. Do you have me in the army now? Me. There is not much difference. Of course, you must continue to protect me. I believe that as you, the strongest man in the Northern Wilderness, are watching, no one can hurt me, right?"
With a small flattery, Bamutu smiled bitterly and said, "What's so good about Bran? How come you and your mother...well, was this really your idea? Didn't that kid force you to do it?" He seemed to remember. What? Bamutu looked a little emotional, but he immediately stopped mid-sentence, turned to look at Tang En with an evil look, and asked harshly.
Lan Sha nodded immediately: "Of course it was my idea, Grandpa Bamutu, just let me go and have a look. Maybe my trip can bring an ally to our tribe against Bran?"
Of course, Bamutu didn't believe this. In his eyes, the gray-clothed army was just a ragtag group. Even if they had some combat effectiveness, they would never be able to achieve success. It didn't matter whether they had this ally or not. However, Bamutu also understood it completely. Lansha first analyzed the military situation at a macro level, and then explained the current situation in detail. He talked a lot in a circle, but the main point was that he was determined to go to the Gray Army's garrison.
This look couldn't help but remind him of something. Back then, there was such a quirky little girl who sneaked out of the imperial city and insisted on visiting Bran... He didn't object back then, or in other words, he took advantage of that stubborn little girl. There is nothing the girl can do, and it still seems to be the case now...
Bamutu was in a daze, while Tang En and Lan Sha exchanged a few glances, feeling their hearts tremble. Lan Sha only wanted to visit the Gray Army to see what kind of person Josiah really was. Tang En, on the other hand, was tired of being chased, and it was indeed not a problem to be on tenterhooks all day long.
Of course, no matter what the two people's thoughts are, they must now see what Bamutu means. If the other party disagrees, Lansha has no choice, and Tang En has no choice. They can only continue to remain in this stalemate, waiting for the unexpected to happen, waiting for one party to be unable to persist, or waiting for the outcome that Lansha said is a dead end...
After a moment, Bamutu looked at Lansha, who came over to hold her shoulders and act coquettishly with a look of expectation on his face, and nodded helplessly: "Okay... But there are some things I have to say upfront. If I think the situation is unfavorable, I will take you away immediately. , I will even knock you out and take you back to the Northern Wasteland Imperial City."
"Yeah! Thank you, Grandpa Bamutu! Don't worry, I will remember it. I will definitely not blame you when the time comes."
Waving his hands to the cheering Lansha, Bamutu once again set his sights on Tang En. His helpless expression turned gloomy in an instant, and he said fiercely, "Boy, you are lucky this time. We will have the opportunity to take it slowly in the future." Forget it. Also, you will still protect Lansha openly from now on. If His Highness makes any mistakes, you will have to pay with your life!"
Damn, you must be learning how to change faces... Looking at Bamutu's two completely different faces, Tang En secretly complained, but of course on the surface he still nodded politely to show that he knew. But I'm secretly feeling cruel in my heart, and I'll let you, old guy, be arrogant for a while. We really have to keep this account for later...
Here, Tang En and Bamutu dislike each other. Over there, Lansha rolled his eyes after getting excited, and suddenly raised his arms with a solemn expression. He first announced a string of surnames and titles, and then swore an oath as His Royal Highness, the Sirius Royal Family. , the general idea is to witness this reconciliation and voluntarily go to the Gray Army garrison or something.
Tang En was startled when he heard this, while Bamutu smiled bitterly, knowing that this was directed at him. Although there is a reconciliation at the moment, it is only a verbal agreement. There is no binding force. certainly. Lan Sha couldn't make him swear an oath. Only by swearing as His Royal Highness could he completely dispel other thoughts in his mind.
Really, there is no way for a female university to stay... Thinking of this, Bamutu was suddenly startled, and then looked up and down Tang En with strange eyes. He frowned and thought for a while, but shook his head and felt that he was too worried. Impossible, this girl has the same vision as her mother. How could I fall in love with such an ugly guy...
Of course, Tang En didn't know what Bamutu was thinking. Otherwise, he wouldn't have jumped on it right away. He wouldn't have waited until later. He would have thought of a way to send a letter to Wooding now, risking the risk of exposing Lansha's identity. He also had to look at this. How to die if you are old and immortal...
…
After the negotiation, this is not a place to stay for a long time, so naturally we have to hit the road again.
The only difference from before was that the team changed from two to three, with Lansha walking in the middle. Tang En walked on the left and Bamutu walked on the right. The atmosphere is not very good. It's all connected by Lansha alone. However, Lansha was in a good mood and happily found various topics to liven up the atmosphere.
Tang En heard a lot of secret things about this. The biggest gossip was that when the Queen of the Northern Wilderness sneaked out and went to play in Bran, Bamutu also followed her as she does now. However, after the two of them entered the territory of Bran, , because there was no cover, especially the barbarian face of Bamutu quickly attracted Bran's attention.
At that time, Bamutu was already the strongest man in the Northern Wilderness. He was naturally arrogant and did not want to cover up his whereabouts. He easily killed many Bran masters who came to investigate. Later, he was seeking revenge. Anyway, the more he killed, the more he killed. Until he went deep into the hinterland of the north and met Wooding who came from the capital... According to Bamutu himself, Wooding took advantage of his unstable breath during the wheel battle and suddenly attacked him with a sword, seriously injuring him and leading to a fight with the Queen of the Northern Wilderness. They got separated, and then it happened that the Queen's wallet was stolen, and she set up a chess stall in the city to earn travel expenses, and then she met Zi Yi...
Now talking about the past, Bamutu is still angry with himself: "Bran is a hypocritical villain, and that bullshit sword god Woodin is even more so. When Bran's masters formed a team to fight against me, he hid in it and did not reveal it. , it wasn’t until I was too busy to kill that I was careless and exposed my flaw, then he made a sneak attack...Shameless! Despicable villain..."
Tang En curled his lips as he listened, naturally not believing this statement. Not to mention that in his opinion, sneak attacks are commonplace and normal tactics. Just say that Wooding is recognized as the strongest person in Xize Continent now, not you Bamutu, so you know that the other party has no need to sneak attack you... Hey, I still don’t know how hard I was beaten back then... …
Lan Sha wasn't very interested in this part either. What she wanted to know was what happened between her mother and Zi Yi later. However, Bamutu didn’t know about this. He seemed to have been seriously injured after getting rid of Wooding, and he had to rest for a long time before he could come out for activities. At that time, the Queen and Ziyi had already arrived at the frontline war zone, without knowing it. Bamutu searched for a long time in the northern hinterland of Bran, but failed to find it. He was also targeted by Wooding, so he had to withdraw to the northern wasteland. Later, the queen herself sent back the news of safety...
At this point, Bamutu glanced at Tang En and remembered his concerns just now. Perhaps in order to prevent a recurrence of the tragedy, Bamutu focused on describing how despicable, dishonest, hypocritical and cunning the Panbulan men were. So what if they can only talk nice words, start chaos but give up, etc. Anyway, if I read it correctly, Mr. Ba used all the derogatory words he could think of.
It's a pity that his thoughts were in vain. Tang En was not from Bran at all. He only listened to it for fun and had no sense of anger at all. Lan Sha had some reaction, but she seemed to have seen what Balao meant, and she just didn't pick up the fight, and finally let it go.
…
With Tang En and Bamutu's pace, even with the burden of Lansha, the speed is naturally beyond the reach of humans and horses. In addition, in the eyes of ordinary people, the mountains and cliffs were insurmountable. For them, it was just a matter of getting out of the way. Therefore, the three of them almost walked in a straight line. In just half a day, they walked out of this huge mountain range.
Walking out of the mountains means roughly walking out of the war zone. The next step is to step into the northern hinterland of Bran and go to the gray army station. This journey is not short, even at Tang En's speed it would take several days. Fortunately, once you get here, you don't have to worry about running into Bran soldiers again, so there's no rush.
After entering the northern hinterland of Bran, Bamutu talked to Tang En for the first time.
"Boy, although I still want to slap you to death, I have to thank you before I do it."
Tang En was stunned when he heard this, and pointed to himself inexplicably: "Thank me? What do you mean?"
"Brandi, do you remember?".
"...The little boy from the Meihu tribe?" Otherwise, the name is domineering and easy to remember. Just for a moment, Tang En suddenly remembered that when he left the Northern Wasteland Imperial City last year, he was seriously injured and fell into coma, and was killed by Meihu. The story was saved by a pair of siblings from the tribe.
"That's right." Bamutu nodded, and his old face, which had always been unkind to Tang En, rarely showed a hint of joy, "He has a good talent and has been accepted as my disciple. The growth-type fifth-level magic beast, the Phantom Ice Fox, And the fighting spirit in his body, was it you who gave it to him, right? Thank you in many words!"
"Uh..." Tang En was really stunned now. He just casually helped the siblings out of the idea of repaying his gratitude, but he didn't expect that he would give Bamutu a disciple. He touched his nose and said, "You're welcome, this is his own opportunity. By the way, where is his sister, how is the one named Su Ya doing now?"
"She, like Xini, is now my maid." Lansha took over the words with a smile, then seemed to remember something and couldn't help laughing, "Haha, let's see what stupid tricks you taught these siblings. . The Phantom Ice Fox was beaten on the head with wooden sticks all the way to the Imperial City, and was almost beaten to death, haha..."
When Tang En heard this, he immediately blushed and said, "The conditions were limited at the time. I was afraid that it would be dangerous for them to take the fox on the road, so..."
"Also, what were you thinking at the time? You actually dressed up like me, haha... Su Ya said that you looked very similar, but your leg hair was a bit longer, haha... If you find a chance another day, you can... …Pretend it over again and show it to me, ha…”
"..." Tang En's eyes twitched, and he looked at Lansha who was leaning forward and backward with laughter, his face expressionless, "Ba Lao, do you want to return this favor to me now?"
"kindness?"
"Now, immediately, immediately, take her back quickly! Cha..."
