Chapter 528 Betrayal (Third Update)
Wangshan is a dead horse, let alone on foot.
The western mountain range of the Shining Tribe was lying in front of them when everyone was running away, but now more than two hours have passed, and that mountain range is still lying in front of them, which is really frustrating.
However, Tang En was extremely relaxed. He was currently being carried on the shoulders of a caravan master. Although the posture was a bit unsightly and even a bit humiliating, it had to be said that the actual feeling was quite good. at this time,
"Captain, look behind you!" A somewhat shocked voice came out, and everyone stopped and looked behind them.
After such a long journey, the Shanwu tribe behind them had long since disappeared from sight, but now a black column of smoke reaching into the sky was very clearly reflected in everyone's sight, in sharp contrast to the bleak sky.
Needless to say, this was certainly not the fire they set off before. The smoke column had basically disappeared an hour ago.
Snapped! Seeing this, Xini suddenly clasped her hands on her chest and said with joy on her face: "Captain, is someone here to rescue us?"
Lansha didn't answer. Instead, he frowned, narrowed his eyes into a crescent shape, and asked in confusion: "What did you see?"
"Uh..." After hearing this, everyone touched their foreheads with their hands almost at the same time, as if they were used to it. Xini stuck out her tongue and explained the situation in the distance to Lansha in a low voice.
Hey, this girl's eyes don't seem to be very good... Tang En couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw this, thinking this. In fact, he noticed from the beginning that Lansha squinted his eyes very frequently, but he never thought about it that way. But now that I think about it, Lansha's behavior is like...like those short-sighted people in this world?
Thinking of this, Tang En couldn't help but feel something strange in his heart. No one is perfect, that's the truth. But it is quite absurd to see that Lansha, who is obviously of noble status and almost as wise as a demon, has a small problem of short-sightedness.
"It's unlikely." After listening to Xini's narration, Lansha shook his head without any consideration. "Although our previous whereabouts have been exposed, if we weren't careful, it would be impossible to determine our route in such a short time. , let alone come to the rescue.”
Andre frowned: "So, are they the real betrayers? But why did they destroy the Shanwu tribe? You must know that the other party helped them before."
"Maybe there are too many surnames. But if it's...well, then we'll be in real trouble." Narrowing his eyes, he hesitated to speak. Then looking at the doubtful looks of Andre and others, Lan Sha pondered for a while, but still He said, "Do you think the small and medium-sized tribes around us, such as Shanwu and others, dare to attack us?"
"Of course I don't!" Andre shook his head without even thinking, "Even if we give them the courage, they won't dare to do anything against us!"
Lansha nodded: "Then, what if someone dares to attack us and tell them that we destroyed the Shanwu tribe?"
"Uh... are you crazy? There are only a dozen of us, how could we possibly slaughter a tribe? And why should we do this?"
"There are not so many impossibilities and whys." Lansha squinted his eyes, and his eyes were flowing. "No one is a fool, and everyone knows that this was not done by us. But as long as they receive this news, they will temporarily follow that person's instructions. To do things according to their will. The things they can accomplish may be very small, such as secretly spreading our whereabouts, etc. Haha, in this case, they didn’t do it themselves anyway, and they may not be able to be traced afterwards. Secondly, They don’t have to offend those big shots who dare to attack us, and avoid making the same mistakes as the Shanwu Tribe!”
"Damn it, they dare..." Slapping his hands angrily, Andre couldn't help but burst into anger, but then he was speechless. Although this is emotionally unacceptable, intellectually, it is very likely to happen.
Most people are selfish, especially when it comes to themselves or the overall interests of their tribe. Compared with the possible disaster, some virtual things such as loyalty are naturally insignificant.
Hearing this, Sydney couldn't help but said worriedly: "Then what should we do now?"
"The intelligence is seriously inconsistent. We can only take one step at a time. Well, let's run first." Lansha seemed particularly calm, pointing at the mountain peak in front of him, "At least we need to enter the mountains first before things can change. There’s still room.”
This is a true saying, a wise woman cannot make a meal without rice. As a decision-maker, if you don’t even know who your opponent is, you really can’t do much. After hearing the words, everyone did not hesitate and ran forward with their heads down.
The situation seems a little bad...Lansha and others used standard Bran language when talking, and Tang En could naturally understand it. Although he didn't understand the cause and effect, this did not hinder Tang En's judgment of the situation at hand.
Judging from the current situation, the noble Lansha seems to have encountered an opponent of the same level, and was obviously caught off guard. Although it is not yet in danger, he is still very passive.
From his true heart, Tang En now wishes for a dog-eat-dog fight between the two sides, and it would be best to kill this naughty little girl. But the key to the problem now is that he himself is deeply involved. If he follows Lansha, at least he won't die now. If Lansha and others are killed or arrested, then he, a native of Bran, will surely die...
After thinking about it, Tang En was shocked to find that he seemed to be in the same boat as Lan Sha, and he couldn't help but feel pain in his balls.
…
About an hour had passed, and the sky was already getting a little dark. Everyone finally reached the mountains first, without suffering the misfortune of being sieged halfway.
But at this moment, Andre and others found a line of black shadow in the wilderness behind, which seemed to be cavalry, running towards this side at high speed.
Lansha naturally couldn't see this scene, but this did not prevent her from making a decision. As soon as they entered the mountain range, she led everyone to climb an extremely large mountain outside.
Obviously, she wanted to know who the enemy was more than running away in vain.
They didn't wait for too long. Before long, the cavalry in the distance had swept a few miles ahead like a strong wind.
"Hoo... war, lion, tribe, fall!" Looking at the cavalry brigade not far away, Andre took a deep breath, and word by word came out of the cold wind from between his teeth. He was a little unbelievable, but also It has a strong murderous intention.
Sydney's expression also changed drastically, and her tone was excited: "How is that possible? They are betraying the tribe! They are rebelling!"
"It turned out to be the War Lion Tribe..." "Fuck! What the hell do they want to do? Provoke internal fighting within the tribe?" "What happened in the rear..."
…
"As expected." Compared to the excited and indignant crowd, Lansha looked a little stunned, squinting his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
As said before, it is impossible for ordinary people to dare to take action after learning their identities. Although the appearance of the War Lion Tribe is extremely shocking, it is actually reasonable...
The cavalrymen suddenly reined in their horses and stopped three miles before the peak. The leading figure looked up at the top of the mountain. After a few seconds, he dismounted and strode towards this side alone.
This is an act of putting yourself in danger, and it also represents a certain respect.
After walking more than a thousand meters, facing the sight cast from the top of the mountain, the cavalryman suddenly knelt down on one knee, his movements simple and natural: "Xiwei, the Cavalry Brigade of the War Lion Tribe, has met His Highness Lansha."
The mountains and fields are silent, and the wind blows in the woods.
Lan Sha...Your Highness? Compared to the normal expressions of everyone around him, at this moment, Tang En, who opened his mouth in astonishment as if he was holding an egg, seemed a little ridiculous.
Damn, is this really a royal family? And she is a real princess! God, this world is too scary, it can’t really be in a fantasy novel...
"Xi Wei, it's you! Why did you do this! Why did you betray him!" It was clearly a question, but Andre, who seemed to know Xi Wei, shouted out his anger.
Xi Wei lowered his head when he heard this and struggled: "Sorry, Andre, I'm following the order."
Waving her hand to stop the furious Andre, Lansha looked down calmly. Oh, in fact, if someone followed her line of sight, they would find that she was actually looking at a small tree with a crooked neck... Okay, Although the goal is somewhat biased, no one really cares about this issue now.
"Whose order - the War Lion Tribe? Or just a small group? Get up and speak!"
The voice that was slowly passed down was not loud, but when Xi Wei heard the words, he stood up subconsciously, hesitated slightly, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness. I don't know this, and I can't say it."
"Okay." Lan Sha was not annoyed by being rejected, and then asked, "Then, why do you do this? Now is not a good time to betray, it's because of some unexpected incident, right?"
It was just a guess without explanation, but Xi Wei couldn't help being shocked when he heard this, with a complicated look on his face: "Your Highness knows things like a god, that's indeed the case."
"Let me tell you, I'm also curious about what could make the people of the War Lion Tribe feel betrayed."
Xi Wei did not hide this, or he wanted to use this to show that what he was doing was right, and said in a long voice: "Your Highness, does he know that Marshal An has died by the Seluguna River?"
"You know, Zi Yi did it?"
"That's right! In addition, Your Highness knows that Zi Yi led 20,000 Zichen soldiers to the imperial city, broke the city gate, and burned to death along with the main hall of the palace."
"Uh..." The top of the mountain fell into silence. Even though he was as calm as a sand, his face was filled with shock and his body was shaken violently.
The news they had received before was that Zi Yi had entered the hinterland of the Northern Wilderness and might be close to the imperial city. I didn't expect Zi Yi to take things to such an extent later, it was really shocking!
Tang En on the side was also shocked and inexplicable, with a hint of sadness in it. Needless to say, I was shocked. Army God Bran was Army God Bran. Who else in the world besides him could come to the Northern Wasteland Imperial City and Palace for a one-day trip?
As for sentimentality, I feel sorry for Ziyi’s death in the end! Although Tang En only played a game of chess with him and met once. But I have to say that Zi Yi left a deep impression on Tang En, like an old friend who had been with him for a long time.
After a moment, Lan Sha took a deep breath, frowned and asked, "What does this have to do with the betrayal of the War Lion Tribe?"
"Of course!" Xi Wei suddenly looked a little excited, "We have investigated and found that the reason why An Shuai was hunted down to that extent was because a previous plan that had been planned for more than ten years was suddenly seen through by Zi Yi at a critical moment. , the result was a complete failure!”
"There are not many people who know about this plan, and the Queen is one of them."
"You mean..." Lan Sha's expression turned cold for the first time, "It was my mother who leaked the plan and killed An Shuai?"
"good!"
"Ridiculous! You..."
"Your Highness!" Xi Wei waved his arms frantically, interrupting Lan Sha's words excitedly, "I know this sounds ridiculous, but did you know that when Zi Yi led his troops to attack the imperial city, he continuously called out to the city? "Come out and see me" three times, I will never forget it until my death!"
He paused for a moment, took a breath, raised his head and roared, "Huh... Your Highness, you must know a rumor about the Queen who has been to Bran for more than ten years. Yes, the person from Bran whom the Queen once liked, is, is, Zi , Yi!”
