Chapter 359 Accidental Injury

The lion pretended to be a poodle and approached the sheep, but was scratched by the sheepdog... This may sound funny, but it is a true portrayal of Simpson.

The hierarchical system in this other world is very strict. As a marquis, Simpson never expected that one day he would be beaten by a lowly soldier. In anger, he roared and ordered the cavalry to attack.

The chaos beside the ditch eventually turned into a battle. Two hundred cavalrymen of the Royal Guards all crossed the ditch and almost annihilated the group of soldiers on the spot. Seeing that the situation was not good, some soldiers quickly turned around and ran away and sent out signals for help.

Within a moment, large groups of soldiers rushed in from all directions and surrounded the negotiating team. But by this time, the matter was settled. After all, the officers at the battalion level had better eyesight than the junior soldiers. Although the nobles all pretended to be beggars, their underlying magnanimity was still there. He did not dare to act rashly and directly chose to inform his superiors.

Finally, the chaos at the ditch subsided when the general of the army arrived in person and showed a frightened look.

The next thing was simple. The negotiating team arrived at the confrontation between the two sides, supported by the front and back. Ronald and other nobles traveled all the way and were severely exhausted physically and mentally. Naturally, it was impossible to start negotiations immediately, so they stayed with Bran's army to rest. Josiah and the others, eager to return home, crossed the battlefield and headed towards the gray-coated army's camp.

…

From the beginning, in this war that had not yet broken out, the Gray Army had held sovereign power. Whether it was the three battles and three victories before, or the sudden stop to camp afterwards, it was all based on the will of the Gray Army.

Since this place was chosen by the Gray Army, it would naturally take advantage of the terrain. In fact, this is exactly the case. The Gray Army's station is built on a gentle hill, which is higher than the camp of Bran's army. Don't underestimate this weak height advantage. In war, it represents the general's broader command vision and the accumulated strength of the soldiers when charging.

Tang En and the others did not go directly up the mountain, but sorted out their images in a small dense forest ravine next to the mound. When traveling with the nobles before, they all wore disguises. Now when they returned to the camp, they naturally had to remove them first to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

But just as everyone was chatting happily and taking off the props on their faces, Tang En's eyes flashed suddenly, and then he quietly took a slightly wrong step and came behind Difu and the others, and then ducked into the big man next to him. Behind the tree.

These movements were as natural and smooth as flowing water. Even Joshua and others did not notice that Tang En had disappeared under their noses in this short period of time.

When he reappeared, Tang En had arrived behind a bush about half a person's height dozens of meters away. There were two men in black crawling under the gray plant roots in front of him.

At this time, the two people were leaning forward to observe Josiah and the others, obviously not expecting that there was someone behind them who was also looking at them with inquiring eyes.

Scout? Tang En guessed the most likely possibility, but he still had some doubts in his heart, because these two people gave him a familiar feeling, not in their appearance, but in their movements and demeanor.

On the surface, the two of them were observing, but in fact one of them was shaking his head slightly, and his attention was on the surrounding environment. This is a kind of tactical cooperation, with one person monitoring and one assisting. Combined with some small movements of gesture communication...it's a bit like the gray space style.

Could this be Mi Xiu’s new recruit? Tang En pinched his chin and guessed, then shook his head lightly and crushed a dead branch.

Snap... the sound was not loud, but it was like spring thunder in the ears of the two men in black. Their bodies shook violently, and before they could turn around, they quickly rushed to both sides. During the process, the daggers turned out, and the blade light circled around them until they landed on the ground. Huo Ran turned his head.

Looking at these two slightly shocked unfamiliar faces, Tang En touched his nose and made sure they were not members of the first or second phase of Gray Space. Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask, unexpectedly, the two men kicked off the ground, stabbed forward with their daggers, and struck down like thunder.

I wiped it, so simple... Tang En grinned, raised his hands to meet him, and seemed to want to slap the dagger away. The reaction of the two men in black was not slow, a glimmer of light flashed in their eyes. When the generals came into contact, the two daggers quickly rotated at the fingertips at the same time, changing from stabbing to smearing, and instantly cut into Tang En's wrist artery.

The timing of this transition was quite good, and it was completed instantly, leaving no time for reaction.

Hiss... The two daggers cut into the wrists smoothly, but it seemed a little too smooth. The daggers actually passed through the wrists, as if the entire palm was cut off.

This was naturally not the effect that the two men in black had expected. There was doubt in their eyes, but it was replaced by fear in an instant, because the cut off wrist did not spurt out any blood... Oops, it was empty!

"Ha..." With a chuckle, Tang En appeared like a ghost behind the man in black. He held his shoulders with his hands, kicked his knees, and simply knocked the two of them to the ground.

Bang, bang... The two of them fell face down into the soil at the same time, and the arm holding the dagger was locked behind their backs, unable to move.

"You are Mi Xiu... um!" Before he finished speaking, Tang En frowned suddenly, because when the two men in black were locked, they forcibly turned their left arms over and slashed at his neck like a whip.

Normally, their arms would not be able to reach Tang En, so they could only move half of their bodies. And once this happens, the locked right arm is very likely to be broken. Tang En also didn't expect that these two expressionless men in black would be so brave and decisive!

Sure enough, click...the bones of the two right arms made a brittle sound, and the shoulders were a little twisted. They were obviously dislocated. If they exerted more force, they might be broken.

Tang En frowned and stood up, avoiding the slashing knife and taking a few steps back. The two men in black quickly stood up, with indifferent expressions on their faces, staring at Tang En with no intention of checking the injured right arm.

He spread his hands and said, "Is your captain David? Or is it Michu?"

"Captain Michu...who are you?" The man in black on the right responded slightly in surprise, and then asked in a deep voice.

It was indeed a gray space... Tang En stroked his forehead speechlessly. He didn't expect to beat up his team members as soon as he came back. He touched his nose and said, "Twain."

"Uh...boss?"

…

After Tang En returned to his original appearance, the two men in black finally confirmed that the man in front of them was their boss, and a hint of fear and uneasiness appeared on their originally expressionless faces.

But of course Tang En would not blame these two people. After asking around for a while, he found out that they were indeed members of the third phase of the Mi Xiu Recruitment. They were currently undergoing actual combat training, that is, they were out to inspect the surroundings of the camp.

Seeing that the two people were a little nervous, Tang En didn't ask any more questions, and headed to the Gray Army's station with Josiah and the others who came over. With these two people taking care of him, there will naturally be no problems in the future. Not long after entering the main entrance of the camp, Luo Sha, who received the news, came with all the senior officials and welcomed them in with a look of joy.

Because he arrived suddenly, there would naturally be no welcome ceremony. However, Josiah's reputation in the Gray Army was still very good. Soon, many cheering soldiers gathered on both sides of the road, and then David, Michu, Frey and other familiar faces also appeared one by one. But now was obviously not the time to talk, so Tang En just said hello briefly and entered the Chinese army tent with everyone...

After sitting down, naturally there was another warm exchange of greetings. Luo Sha directly pulled Josiah to sit next to him, without mentioning the negotiation, and all he said was about seeing each other again after farewell. This situation lasted for about half an hour before gradually getting back to the topic.

Josiah first gave an overview of the negotiation situation, and then took out the negotiated conditions and explained them in detail one by one.

It should be said that the negotiation between Josiah and the others was very successful, and the result of the negotiation was beyond everyone's expectations. You must know that although Luo Sha and the others put forward many conditions before, they were just negotiation strategies. They also knew that there were some conditions that the other party would not be able to agree to, so they specifically did not use words such as reluctance in the notes later.

But now in the negotiation results, all the easy ones were achieved, and some difficult ones were no problem. Even the ones they thought they shouldn't force were actually some successes. Although some conditions are different in form from what they expected, the actual effects are similar.

If you look at the results in front of you, Josiah and the others have undoubtedly made a great contribution, and the results are breathtaking.

…

As the conditions were stated one by one, the atmosphere in the tent continued to heat up, becoming a warm and festive atmosphere. Losa's excited words and Omen's heroic laughter almost never stopped.

However, after Tang En responded to the greetings from everyone around him, he was sensitive enough to discover some strange undercurrents in this seemingly warm atmosphere.

This time the gray-coated army sent out its troops and brought most of the senior ministers with them. Although these ministers are all smiling now, nearly half of them are smiling very reluctantly. Looking at Luo Sha, who was a little giddy with joy, Tang En nodded thoughtfully without appearing too surprised.

This situation has long been expected. Not everyone has Luo Sha's vision and broad mind. The vast majority of senior executives are from poor backgrounds. Due to subjective and objective limitations, they can only see the good situation in front of them.

In addition, there is no doubt that Losa's decision was a bit risky. No one can be sure whether it is right or wrong before it is tested by time. In this way, she is naturally under a lot of pressure. But now that the negotiation results brought back by Josiah have undoubtedly given her a big sigh of relief.

However, this atmosphere did not last long, when Josiah revealed Ronald's conditions, which were three parliamentary votes plus the previous conditions in exchange for the gray coats disbanding the army. There was a sudden silence in the tent, followed immediately by fierce and high-pitched objections.

Many ministers slammed the table and stood up with angry faces, cursing the nobles for being unkind. Only Losa, Omon, Bosco and a few ministers chose to think silently.

In fact, in Tang En's view, these fiercely opposed ministers may not know what they are objecting to. Or maybe they are just wishful thinking and have never thought about how to solve the problem!

Of course, this had nothing to do with Tang En. In the end, he just sat there with a bored look on his face, yawning, listening to the curse words repeated from various places...
