Chapter 1700 United Army
The Bai family member was stunned for a while, and then he woke up. He did not immediately answer whether he surrendered, but asked me: "Are you kidding me?"
"Huh?" I frowned.
"You know that I am a member of the Bai family of York Hancheng and will only be loyal to the head of the Bai family. You want me to surrender to you. This is simply impossible." The Bai family members stared.
"There is so much absolute loyalty in this world. A lot of it is maintained by profit. Whoever has a higher price tag will be loyal to him." I sneered and said, "The reason why you refuse to surrender to me is because you only have two people." There are several reasons. First, my price is not enough to exchange for your loyalty. Second, you are afraid that I will inform the head of the Bai family about this and use his knife to get rid of you. I am right. "
The head of the Bai family lowered his head and remained silent.
"I have to say that in York City, the price I can offer will never be higher than that of the head of the Bai family. After all, your Bai family is also a tiger in York City, and the power I have hidden in York City is not even a weed. Not really, but can you guarantee that the head of the Bai family will always value you and will never doubt you or neglect you?"
With a chuckle, I continued: "You can't, because you know very well that the more powerful a person is, the more suspicious they will be. They will doubt their parents, their wives and children, and they will also doubt close ministers like you. , if one day you are suspected, ignored, or even forced to go to prison, what should you do? Should you kneel in front of the prison door and pray that your master will be merciful and let you go? Or will you be disheartened? Hiding in the corner and waiting to die?"
"I'm afraid neither of these two is the best answer."
He picked up the teapot and slowly poured two cups of tea. One cup was pushed in front of him, and the other cup he picked up and drank.
After putting down the tea cup, I continued: "Since there is no choice between the two, why not take advantage of now to prepare another path for yourself to choose?"
"As my latent power in York and Hancheng continues to grow and grow, if one day, when you are truly desperate, maybe my already grown power can help you."
"Your power?" The Bai family members stared at me and said word by word: "How can I trust you without evidence?"
"This is something you need to consider for yourself," I said calmly. After that, I stood up, stretched my arms, and turned around and said, "You have been in the camp for a day, so go out for a walk and breathe some fresh air. Enjoy the pleasant night view here.”
The Bai family members did not refuse. They stood up and walked out of the camp with me.
When the two soldiers guarding the camp saw the Bai family being led out of the camp by me, they immediately followed me.
We walked in tandem among the coalition forces.
After dinner, the coalition forces were sitting around in groups bragging. The ones laughing most wildly were the dwarves, the most silent ones were the elves, and the orcs were in the middle. They were neither silent nor noisy, but nevertheless There are quite a few orcs wrestling.
Wrestling is not only the dueling method of the orcs, but also their best sport.
For me, this kind of sport is already familiar, but for the Bai family, it is a novelty.
He was like a curious baby, staring straight at the two wrestling parties with his eyes wide open, feeling the tense atmosphere on the field. His hands were slowly clenched unconsciously, for the two people who were wrestling. nervous.
Seeing that he was fascinated, I didn't want to disturb him, so I continued walking around alone. Soon, I found the liberated female slave and several mixed-race children who were also liberated.
Some older mixed-race boys, maybe five or six years old, wearing the loose clothes and trousers issued to them by the coalition forces, hurried to my side, surrounded me, and thanked me.
I raised my head and glanced at their mother. The foreign women also smiled and bowed to me. Obviously, these children's actions of thanking me were instigated by their mothers.
I knelt down and touched the little heads of several children. One of the little boys stood on tiptoe and murmured thank you in my ear.
I smiled, took out a handful of copper coins that I carried with me, and distributed them to the children. After thanking them one by one, they returned to their mother's side with cheers.
I stood up and from the corner of my eye, I saw a member of the Bai family looking at the place furtively. I straightened my clothes, walked slowly to his side, and said, "Have you finished watching the wrestling?"
"Ah?" The Bai family members were stunned for a moment, and then they reacted: "Oh, I've finished reading."
"Well, let's continue walking."
After that, he led him through the camp where the foreign girls and mixed-race people were stationed.
In the meantime, another smaller girl ran up to me and pulled my pants.
I knelt down and she leaned into my ear, whispering a few words softly, which were still words of thanks, but the words were a bit intermittent. I think it was her mother who taught her to say them.
I nodded, took out a silver coin from my arms, handed it to her, and said with a smile, "Okay, I understand."
The little girl ran back happily and handed the silver coin into her mother's hand.
However, just this simple action made the eyes of the Bai family members on the side flash.
Many times, if you want to create misunderstandings and illusions, you don't need too much modification. Often a word, an action, an expression, or even a look is enough.
I believe that the Bai family members at this moment must have put the power that I mentioned in my mouth, lurking in York and Han City, that has not yet grown up, on the heads of this group of mixed-race people.
This is exactly the result I want.
With the evil-eyed Bai family members, we traveled through the coalition camp for a week and returned to the prison camp.
"You'll have to suffer here all night," I said, "When the handover is completed tomorrow, you can go back to York and Hancheng with the handover officer."
The Bai family members didn't say a word and ducked into the tent door.
Returning to the main tent and sitting opposite the old Duke, I sighed softly and said, "Thank you for your support today, which made me feel bad."
"There's no need to mention the word thank you. You are also one of the commanders of the coalition forces. It doesn't matter who takes over the handover. It's all for the coalition forces. I'm just taking this opportunity to sell a favor."
After saying this, the old Duke leaned slightly towards me and said, "How about it? Did you take anything useful out of that guy's mouth?"
I suddenly remembered that the information about the Bai family members had not been read carefully, so I took out the information from my arms, handed it to him, and said, "This is all the information he confessed. Please read it first."
The old Duke was not polite. He took the information, read it for a while, and suddenly laughed: "Simmons Locke is really interesting. He actually wants to form a joint army with Airui City and station troops in a certain place to prepare for war."
