Chapter 329: Conspiracy, Self-Harm (5,000 Words)

In the afternoon, while Ronald and the new aristocrats were discussing negotiation strategies, a conspiracy was also underway.

In a remote street in Xicheng District, a closed ordinary carriage was parked on the side of the road. In fact, the carriage had been parked here quietly since it arrived half an hour ago. But since there weren't many passers-by, it didn't seem out of place.

After a while, a young man with a loyal and honest face suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley not far away, and then quickly scanned the surroundings with flexible eyes that did not match his appearance, appearing very alert.

After confirming that there was no danger around, the young man took a few steps and quickly got on the carriage. The door was slightly opened and he jumped in.

This scene happened very quickly, no more than three seconds at most, so it didn't attract anyone's attention.

In the carriage, in addition to the young man who had just entered, there was also a middle-aged man holding a teacup and slightly closing his eyes. This person, Tang En and Joshua, were all familiar with him. He was the top executive of the secret agency, Enoch, who had evacuated from the tavern at noon.

The carriage fell into silence, except for the smoke rising from the tea cup and the slight sound of Enoch sipping tea.

The loyal-faced young man was very patient. He waited until Enoch, who was full of enjoyment, finished the tea in sips and put down the tea cup, then leaned over and signaled: "Sir, the matter is done."

Enoch opened his eyes and said calmly: "Oh? Tell me."

"Your Excellency, you have a clever plan. When we evacuated from the tavern today, a group of people indeed targeted us."

Enoch nodded with a smile, and then asked: "Did Tang En, Joshua and the others notice it?"

"No." The young man shook his head, "Twain and the others were still in the tavern at the time. After I found those people outside, I intercepted them first."

"Are you taking action?" Enoch asked with a frown as he keenly noticed that the young man's left hand was a bit unnatural.

The young man did not deny it: "I just passed two moves at the beginning, nothing happened. Well, they are very strong, I am no match."

"Haha, it's good to be strong, but I'm afraid they're not strong enough!" Enoch sighed with a smile, reached out and lightly knocked on the car wall, and continued to ask, "Then what?"

"They are very interested in the cooperation we proposed, but they are not likely to be in charge. They only said that they would convey my wishes and asked me to meet again tonight."

"Okay!" Enoch smiled and patted the young man's shoulder approvingly, "As expected of me, I tried so hard to get you to join the secret agency, and I was not disappointed. Don't worry, if this thing is done, the benefits will be yours. of."

"Thank you, sir." Joy appeared in the young man's eyes, and he quickly bowed again, with a greedy look clearly visible on his face.

Enoch's eyes flashed slightly when he saw this, then he put it away, and said solemnly: "I will create opportunities for you tonight, and you must get the road map. Remember, be careful in everything... Well, especially pay attention to Tang Yes. That person is really alert and will be seen through if he has the slightest flaw."

"Don't worry, adults. Villains will never dare to be careless."

"That's the best." Enoch nodded and smiled, "But don't be too cautious. I still believe in your skills, and you have not exposed your identity. This is the most appropriate thing to do... there is still some time. , come on, I know you like drinking, have a few drinks, just think of it as a celebration of success. Oh, here is tea, wait for me to find a bottle of wine. "

Enoch turned out another cup, touched the teapot and paused, patted his forehead, shook his head and laughed, and then found a beautifully packaged narrow-necked crystal bottle from behind.

"The name of the wine is Ice Flame Volcano." He raised the wine bottle, and against the background of the crystal wall, the blue liquid inside rolled and flowed like azure sea water. Enoch said proudly, "I don't like drinking, but I like collecting things. I got this at an auction several years ago when I was a nobleman. What was the price at that time... Well , eighteen thousand gold coins.”

"One, eighteen thousand gold coins!" The young man opened his mouth, looking at the small crystal bottle with a shocked face. Then he came back to his senses, with a look of fear on his face, "How does this make it difficult for a villain to taste such a precious thing?" thing."

"Haha, I said you deserve it. And since it's wine, you have to drink it." Enoch took out a knife and dug out the cork on the wine bottle. With a "pop" sound, a strange aroma suddenly filled the air. The entire carriage.

The young man's throat rolled, and he swallowed with difficulty: "Then, you're welcome, that villain."

"I just want you to be welcome! Come on, cheers." Enoch poured the wine, handed one of the glasses to the young man, and then said boldly holding the glass.

The young man took it with flattered hands, clinked the glasses with a pleasant sound, and eagerly raised his head to drink.

"Tsk, eighteen thousand gold coins...it's really good wine!" The young man was not very young, but he seemed to have a very good drink. He closed his eyes and swallowed it with a look of enjoyment on his face.

Enoch seemed to be really not good at drinking, but after only one drink, some red clouds appeared on his face. He smiled and pushed the bottle directly over, "In that case, I will give you this bottle of wine. I still I prefer drinking tea, haha.”

The young man really liked this thing, so he stopped delaying and poured another glass: "Thank you, sir. I will take this cup to wish you can take over the secret agency after this incident."

"Haha, I like hearing that." There were no outsiders here. Enoch finally revealed his ambition to take charge of a secret agency, and he simply drank the tea.

"Tsk... I didn't say that the position of leader of this secret agency should belong to an adult. Then Josiah is just a yellow-haired girl. If it weren't for the help of adults, how could this secret agency be where it is now? Chi..."

"Haha, I don't care about the leader of this secret agency, but I must take this power of intelligence into my hands." After a pause, Enoch's face showed anger, "I hate this kid Tang En, he keeps doing it again and again. Destroy my great cause!"

"Yes, it's Tang En who is here to disrupt the situation. But don't worry, sir, they will definitely die in the hands of those people tomorrow night." It is said that people are soft-handed and short-tongued. In addition, this young man is Enoch's subordinate. Naturally They share the same hatred and look angrily.

"It's difficult. It's still possible for Josiah, but Tang En..." Enoch shook his head with a hint of bitterness, "He is too strong. None of the earth-level warriors could kill him before. These people are even more powerful." It's unlikely that you can kill him. Well, you go over to meet tonight and explain clearly to those people how strong Joshua is. As for Tang En, just say he's powerful. Don't scare them away... Well, as long as Joshua If we die, our goal will be achieved."

"The villain understands!"

Enoch nodded and said casually: "Well, let's continue drinking. By the way, this wine is called Volcano, which means it is very powerful and quite intoxicating. Just drink half the bottle, so as not to miss the important event. The remaining half bottle After we succeed, it won’t be too late for you and I to taste it together.”

"Okay, I'll listen to you, sir. Please, sir, I'll toast you with another drink!"

"OK……"

At night, there are hundreds of thousands of mountains. The bonfire is lit, the moon and stars are sparse.

After Josiah argued with the noble negotiation team for most of the day, a small conflict broke out between the two opposing armies here.

Of course, it is a small conflict, but in this environment with nearly 200,000 troops, any small conflict may become the direct trigger of a tragic war.

The gray-clothed army's temporary base, the Chinese army's tent.

The atmosphere was very dull. Several ministers, including Losa, Old Marshal Oumeng, and Bosco who came with the army, gathered here.

Among them, Luo Sha's face was solemn and a little angry. Omon's face was completely dark and angry, while Bosco's face was expressionless, making it difficult to tell anything. The other ministers were a bit complicated. Some had their hands on their shoulders, with expressions on their faces that they knew they would be like this, while others were obviously disapproving...

Wow...the curtain opened, and a young officer in armor walked in.

That was Borg. Feeling the suffocating atmosphere in the tent, he didn't dare to say anything. He took two steps closer and bowed: "Chief, the matter has been investigated clearly."

Luo Sha had no expression on his face: "Speak!"

"Yes." Borg did not dare to neglect and said quickly, "Gori, the commander of the Great Sword Regiment of the Second Division of the Fourth Army, led a battalion without authorization to annihilate Bran's three patrol spear brigades. Then he rushed to Bran's position He was discovered by my scouts at that time, and he has been captured and is just outside the tent. In addition, well, General Bran is now yelling at important people outside the station."

As soon as he finished speaking, the tent fell into silence again.

Ou Meng punched his palms violently, his face showing both thunderous anger and a hint of reluctance. The ministers looked at each other, shook their heads slightly, and frowned. Then all eyes were focused on Luo Sha.

The expression on Luo Sha's face remained unchanged, and it was unknown whether there was any turmoil in his heart. He closed his eyes for a while, took a breath, and said, "Who made the move first?"

Borg hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "It's Goli."

As if there was no accident, Luo Sha then asked: "The reason?"

"I don't know... I asked, but he didn't want to tell me."

Nodding, Luo Sha pondered for a while and lowered his eyes: "Bring him in!"

"Yes!" Borg bowed and exited. Within ten seconds, he walked in again with a middle-aged man with his hands tied. There is no doubt that this is Gorey.

"Untie and sit down!"

Upon hearing this, Borg first untied the rope, then moved a chair and placed it behind Goli. But Goli didn't sit down, he just stood there with his head bowed.

Losa stood up, walked around the table to Goli, and stared at him for a moment, neither of them spoke. Goli seemed to be looking at his military boots like a flower, and did not raise his head, but there was still a little sweat on his temples, extending outwards along the hair strands.

"I remember you." Luo Sha said suddenly, "You joined the Gray Army six years ago, right? I remember that you had an old mother and two brothers at that time. How are they now?"

Goli remained silent, and the sweat on his forehead slid down to the tip of his nose, hanging there.

"Why? Why did you lead the attack privately... Are you dissatisfied with my decision and think I am cowardly and dare not break into the city? Or do you want to prove something? Prove that you are very powerful. You destroyed three large groups of enemies with one battalion and fearlessly attacked several enemies. Thousands of people charged. Prove to us that the enemy is very weak, so weak that we can defeat it easily, so we should attack the city...Gori!" Losa suddenly yelled, shocking Gori and everyone present. , "Answer me! Why?"

"Because my two brothers died in their hands, because I want revenge, I want to kill them all, kill them all..." Goli suddenly took a step back and knocked open the seat. Waving his hands, he raised his head and roared. Its eyes were red and evil energy was emanating from it. After roaring dozens of times, its voice became hoarse like an unwilling beast on the verge of death.

The sound stopped, but the sound waves of thunder still echoed in the ears of everyone in the tent for a long time. Borg, who was retreating to the door, frowned upon seeing this, staring at Goli who seemed to have lost his mind. He bent slightly and took two steps forward. But as Luo Sha waved his hand, he retreated silently.

"Revenge, hehe, revenge again..." After muttering a few words, Luo Sha looked a little downcast, with a mocking smile on his lips. It seems to be a mockery of this reason, and it also seems to be a discouragement for oneself.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Sha regained his dull expression and said in a desolate tone: "Since the establishment of the Gray Army, hundreds of thousands of people have been killed or injured. Your brother is dead, and you want revenge. Other people's brothers and other people's relatives. If your brother is dead, do you want to take revenge? What about the civilians in the world? They are suffering from humiliating oppression all the time. Who will avenge them? Just killing and killing... Then the damn gray army still exists? has no meaning?"

The last sentence was shouted out, and the voice was a bit shrill, not as powerful as Goli's before, but it did make everyone present tremble. It had been a long time since they had seen Luo Sha use fiery and foul language, and there were only a few times in their memory.

"All I know is gratification! All I know is going into the city! All I know is venting... Have you ever thought about what to do in the future? You may not care about revenge, but have you ever thought about those who follow us? What do they think? You have the ability to take revenge, but who can give them a stable life? Do they just rely on such endless killing..."

"You don't understand...you don't understand...you all don't understand..."

At the end of the sentence, Luo Sha's eyes were slightly red, her eyelids were drooped, her tone gradually became hoarse and low, and she seemed a little tired.

The Gray Clothes Army continues to grow, and more and more people are coming to seek refuge. They may simply come with a bright future. But gathering here Luo Sha became a mountain of pressure. For more than ten years, she has never lacked the perseverance to bear all this, and she has never exposed the pressure. But not expressing does not mean that she does not care. On the contrary, as a leader, she will only consider more and bear more. Now this short-term outbreak undoubtedly shows something.

Except for Bosco, all the ministers were shocked when they heard this. Losa's words were addressed to Goli, but they were not addressed to them. You know, since the army stopped stationing, they have been looking for Luo Sha many times every day about this matter.

"Your two brothers died on the battlefield. They are heroes of the Gray Army, and will also be heroes in the hearts of many civilians in the future. But unfortunately, you are not..." After getting angry, Luo Sha's expression returned to calm, and he left With this sentence, he turned around and walked back to his seat.

Goli remained silent, with a hint of guilt on his face, and his lips wriggled as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just buried his head lower.

After sitting back, Luo Sha pursed his lips, turned around and asked: "Old Marshal, he led troops out of the camp to fight without permission. According to military regulations, how should we deal with it?"

Ou Meng glanced at Goli and said in a deep voice: "According to military regulations, you should be killed!"

"Chief..." Several ministers trembled when they heard this and spoke at the same time. Luo Sha glanced over and said calmly, "Do you have any questions?"

Several ministers looked at each other with confusion. Goli was considered an old man in the Gray Army, and he knew a lot of them. Seeing that he was in great danger, it was unreasonable not to help him. Furthermore, Luo Sha's Gray Army has been established for so many years, but no senior general has died under military regulations. Now that they have opened this mouth, they are also afraid of hurting the hearts of other generals.

Bosco glanced at his colleagues with some disdain, and then sighed and said: "Chief, Gorey violated military regulations and should be punished according to crime. There is no doubt about it. But now that the enemy is facing us, we might as well slow down first." If he takes a little time off, he can be punished and make meritorious service..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Goli, who had been silent all this time, suddenly bent his knees and bowed down to everyone present. Then he stood up and said, "I was wrong in this matter. I am willing to accept military law."

"Alas..." Bosco was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and sighed. In fact, it was not a pity at all. He was not familiar with Gorey, and what he said before was true. Regardless of whether Gorey was engaged in military law or not, he would still get some good reputation.

"Okay!" Luosha nodded solemnly, looked into Goli's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Your old mother will make the arrangements. After returning, I will go to the door in person to explain everything... Come, drag him out, cut!"

"Thank you, chief." His face returned to calmness, Goli bowed again, then turned around and walked out of the tent with the two soldiers who came in.

Calm returned to the tent again. After a while, Luosha waved his hand tiredly, "Let's all leave...Old Marshal, regarding the army, the soldiers of Goli's regiment would like to ask you to comfort them."

"Don't worry, leader!" Ou Meng stood up and nodded solemnly.

"Chief." But Borg suddenly called at the door and said hesitantly, "What about General Bran who is yelling at important people at the gate of the station... What should we do?"

Everyone paused. Yes, General Bran, who was begging for the murderer, was still outside... Although they were said to be war rivals, there was no mention of the murderer. But now is the period of negotiation after all, and besides, this time it is indeed my side who is in the wrong, and I have to give an explanation both emotionally and rationally. But what to do now... everyone has been killed, how can I give them their bodies?

As if seeing everyone's thoughts, Luo Sha put his hand on his forehead and said calmly: "It is impossible for me to hand over our people to the enemy, whether they are living people or corpses. So..."

He suddenly raised his head, with a cold expression on his face, and said word by word, "Let them, get out!"

"Uh...yes!"
