- Chapter 557 [Do you understand? ¡¿
Lan Lan has been hiding in the warehouse for a day and a night. ++£«£«
Although the internal guards who boarded the ship during this period did not enter the cargo warehouse to inspect, this did not make Lanlan take it lightly.
She knew very well what a tough and powerful guy the man named Gu Le was!
She didn¡¯t even dare to let herself fall asleep.
Of course, after the almost purgatory experience on the abandoned continent, staying up all day and night is nothing to Lan Lan.
Even though there is no powerful figure like Han Ye to rely on now, Lanlan's heart has already been tempered to be as tough as iron.
She is like a wild beast that spends the winter, cautiously hiding itself.
It wasn¡¯t until the afternoon of the next day that she finally experienced a crisis.
In the afternoon of the second day of the voyage, the door of the cargo hold was opened.
There were voices outside very early.
The officer named Perkins seemed to be deliberately warning, speaking loudly outside the warehouse, and seemed to be negotiating with the guards inside. He wasn't trying to prevent those who were guarding the inside from entering the warehouse, he just deliberately spoke loudly to warn Lan Lan inside.
Lanlan heard the conversation outside. The general meaning was that the inner guards seemed to want to enter the warehouse to look for something, but Perkins, as the officer responsible for escorting the supplies, symbolically stopped them and gave up their efforts.
After all, the reputation of the inner guard is far beyond what a transportation team officer temporarily recruited from the local garrison like him can compete with.
When the cargo door was opened, Lanlan had carefully hidden her body in a wooden barrel. She carefully pressed the lid of the barrel and hid inside.
"Gentlemen, you'd better be careful. The soldiers on the front line are counting on this food to survive the winter."
Perkins complained with some dissatisfaction.
An officer of the internal guard laughed disdainfully, and then said: "Well, who doesn't know the tricks of you logistics quartermasters? I say, stop pretending and come up with something good quickly. I listen. You said you always pack some good stuff. In such a cold weather, you have to drink a few sips of wine to warm yourself up."
Perkins seemed a little embarrassed: "Where is the wine? This trip is to the front line. Drinking during the march is against military regulations. Sir, please don't joke."
"Are you kidding?" The internal security officer sneered and sniffed his nose deliberately: "Okay, if I find it later, don't pretend to be stupid."
soon. Several internal guards dispersed and looked around for supplies in the cargo hold. They opened several boxes and some tied flour bags. Someone even opened two wooden barrels containing tung oil - this move made Perkins' heart almost jump out of his chest.
He didn¡¯t know that Lanlan was very smart and didn¡¯t hide in the corner.
She chose to hide in an empty barrel closest to the cargo door.
This choice coincides with a blind spot in the psychology of ordinary people: if normal people want to search a room, most people will subconsciously search the deepest part of it. However, the most eye-catching place near the door is not easy to be inspected.
Furthermore, Lanlan chose the place closest to the door for another purpose: in case she was exposed. The closer you are to the door, the easier it will be to escape. When the time comes, it will be relatively simple to rush out.
If it is hidden in the innermost corner of the cabin, if it is searched and found, it will be blocked in the innermost corner of the cabin. Then there really is no way to run away.
Sure enough, the soldiers searched deeper and deeper into the cabin, but Boggins was so frightened that his face turned pale - luckily it was dark in the cabin. The inner guards didn't even notice it.
Seeing that the soldiers on guard had already picked up their knives and were about to pry open the tung oil barrels, Perkins finally couldn't bear it anymore and said loudly: "Okay, okaythat's enough, everyone!"
He quickly stepped forward and took a few steps. Stopping in front of a pile of tung oil barrels, he opened his arms and said with a wry smile: "I said, is that all right, everyone?"
The interior guard officer chuckled: "If you weren't so stingy, why would we bother to dig through things? I said Perkins, bring out the good stuff."
"This" Boggins rolled his eyes: "Okay, I'll admit it. Brother, I hid two bottles of good wine in my room I really don't have anything else. You can swear to the goddess.¡±
"It would have been better if I had just said no."
The internal guard officer smiledSmiling, but as if he was still not satisfied, he waved his hand: "We have wine, but the food to go with it is not enough By the way, I heard that there are some good dried meats in this shipment. Come on, go. Get some out, cook them, and eat them in front of us."
Seeing that the inner guard soldiers were still going in to rummage through things, Perkins finally couldn't hold back his anger and said loudly: "Sir! It's a serious crime to steal military rations privately!"
"We didn't move around, we just ate those things by ourselves. How much can we eat? Huh you are too careful." The internal security officer looked at Perkins coldly.
"I¡¡"
Perkins seemed to want to say something else, but suddenly the sound of ancient music came from outside the cabin.
"What's wrong?"
The inner guards immediately turned around.
At the door of the cabin, Gu Le stood there wearing a fox fur cloak, looking into the cabin with a frown on his pale face.
The interior guard officer shrank his head, walked over to salute, and laughed in a low voice: "Sir, my brothers can't stand the cold, and they want to get something to eat This Boggins is very stingy, and he refused to hide the wine himself. Take it out. We won¡¯t rob him, just pay. Besides we are also soldiers, so what¡¯s the point of eating some military rations.¡±
At this point, he lowered his voice and whispered: "You also said that during this trip to the northwest, the person who executed the execution narrowly escaped death. It's hard to treat the brothers badly. Everyone is following you with their heads up. We are doing things with our heads. I just want to get some dried meat to fill my stomach.¡±
"Nonsense. Get out of here no matter what!" Gu Le seemed to smile, casually scolded his subordinates, glanced at Perkins, and said calmly: "Okay, my subordinates have no rules and will make you laugh. ¡±
Perkins didn¡¯t dare to say anything, he just lowered his head and laughed.
The soldiers of the inner guard did not dare to make any more mistakes, so they left the cabin and walked out.
Gu Le waited for Perkins to come to him. Suddenly sighed: "Mr. Perkins."
"What orders do you have, sir?"
"" Gu Le looked at Perkins up and down, and suddenly smiled: "You seem a little nervous?"
¡°¡¡± Perkins trembled.
"You seem to be afraid that my people will dig through the things here?" Gu Le narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "It's not that I don't know about the activities in the army's logistics. Taking advantage of the transportation of military supplies, I also transport some private goods to make a profit. , not surprising."
As he spoke, Gu Le suddenly reached out and patted Perkins on the shoulder. This time, Perkins almost lost his balance. He almost went limp, but he clenched his back molars and managed to stand without falling.
"It's all about being in the army. It's hard work in the army. Everyone makes a little money. I won't care about these things." Gu Le smiled pleasantly, but there was a trace of sadness in his eyes. He whispered: "These people under me are wild and arrogant. And this time we went out. It was a life-threatening act. They all served the country. I'm afraid that if we go to the northwest this time, I don't know how many will come back alive. I don't want to be too harsh on them. Perkins. I'm asking you to do me a favor. I don't know"
"My lord, please do as you wish." Perkins' voice was trembling.
"Youget them some food and drink. I heard what you said just now. You hid some wine, right? Take it out. I'll pay you. Wellyou can also see if there are any good things on the ship. Let¡¯s get some out, I can¡¯t let my brothers die of hunger. Don¡¯t you think so?¡±
Perkins¡¯ teeth chattered, and he quickly lowered his head and said ¡°yes.¡±
Gu Le smiled slightly, turned around and walked out.
In the cold wind, several coughs could be heard from him.
Perkins was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed him. After walking out of the cabin, he carefully closed and locked the door.
Lanlan listened inside for a while, then breathed a sigh of relief, opened the lid and let some air in, but she became more and more confused.
¡° Gu Le taking people to the northwest seems to be doing an extremely dangerous mission?
It was already surprising that Gu Le dared to go to the northwest.
You know, Lanlan has heard in the Imperial Capital that Dean Carmen of the Magic Academy is in the northwest right now!
All this time, it¡¯s too late for Gu Le to hide from Carmen! He personally killed Carmen's adopted son Xiao Del!
And now, Gu Le actually dares to run to the northwest?
What kind of important task could Gu Le be so willing to take such risks?
What kind of important mission would make Hilo willing to take such a big risk and send Gu Le to the northwest? Shiloh had always been cautious before.You protect Gu Le!
¡¡
When night fell, Dean Carmen, who was being missed by Lan Lan, was already walking on the streets of Loulan City in the dark.
Carmen finally no longer wore the too eye-catching red dress, but put on a long gray-black leather robe that is very common in the northwest, and even wore a thick leather hat on her head. He looked like a businessman selling furs.
As for the person following Carmen, with a cautious expression on his face and wearing a leather jacket with obvious signs of wear and tear, he is naturally our Lord Baron Rois, Daring Chen.
When night fell, the two of them easily evaded the city defense and sneaked into Loulan City.
"Walking on the street like this now, it doesn't look very eye-catching.
Loulan City seems to have a slightly more tense atmosphere than in the past.
Although the Tulip family has never officially participated in the war, the mobilization and mobilization of the army has given Loulan City a bit of a war atmosphere.
There are far fewer merchants and pedestrians on the street, and many shops have closed. This commercial street, which used to be bustling with activity, has become somewhat desolate.
At the end of the street, the number of patrolling soldiers did not seem to increase much, but the tense atmosphere could not be hidden from Chen Daolin's nose.
¡°It seems that Loulan City is loose on the outside but tight on the inside.¡± Carmen sighed softly.
Chen Daolin curled his lips and said nothing.
If he had a choice, he really didn't want to come to Loulan City at this time, let alone face that woman - this is a very strange and subtle psychology.
"We are going to the Duke's Palace tonight." Carmen said this coldly - not in the tone of discussing with Chen Daolin, but in the tone of making a decision.
"Uh" Chen Daolin thought for a while and said with a wry smile: "If we sneak in, I know where the defense is weakest on the street behind the west side of the castle."
"Oh?" Carmen glanced at Chen Daolin unexpectedly: "How did you know?"
"Iif I said that I came once, would you believe it?"
¡¡
The two found a hotel to stay and rest. Although interrogation in Loulan City is now very strict, it was not difficult for the two holy magicians to deceive the vigilant shopkeeper. A small trick allowed the shopkeeper to I muddleheadedly registered the two of them.
What made Chen Daolin feel chilly was some of the preparations done by Dean Carmen while resting in the room!
Dean Carmen took out a few things from the storage equipment.
???Two magic amplification rings that look like top quality at first glance, a magic reserve ring made of multicolored stones, and several high-level fire magic scrolls that definitely don¡¯t look ordinary!
These things are enough to fight a small war!
Just that high-level fire magic scroll is enough to destroy a small town!
What frightened Chen Daolin the most was the cold and decisive look in Carmen¡¯s eyes!
"Deanyou, it can't be" Chen Daolin swallowed hard and spit.
Carmen glanced at Chen Daolin, with a chill on her cold face: "What can it be?"
"You're not planning to fight against that duchess tonight, are you?"
"I hope that situation won't happen." Carmen said lightly.
I hope not? What does this mean?
"I will try my best to persuade her to give up those dangerous and crazy ideas. I hope to persuade her to put the country first" Carmen said lightly: "But if she insists on refusing"
"If you refuse, what are your plans?"
"Then I have to use force to speak." Carmen shook her head: "Although I am a member of the Tulip family, but if it is a matter of state, I can't let a girl like her run around! Let alone sit back and watch her lead the Tulip family. Go crazy. If nothing can be done, I will choose to take action."
"Youyou can't be, areyou don't want to assassinate a Tulip Duke in the Tulip Duke's Mansion, right?" Chen Daolin was startled.
Carmen sighed quietly: "If things really get that bad there is no choice!"
Chen Daolin¡¯s heart sank!
¡°As a member of the Tulip family, it is natural to assassinate the Duke, the head of the family, and it is treason, but if it is for the sake of the national destiny of the empire, then I have no choice but to commit this crimeWell, I don't want to kill anyone. If she insists on refusing to give in, I will choose to subdue her, then summon the retainers and elders to discuss and depose her from the position of duke! If she resists to the endthenafter killing her, I will commit suicide to apologize. "
Chen Daolin trembled: "Dean, you can't think like that"
"Of course I don't want to do this." Carmen glanced at Chen Daolin: "It's very dangerous in the Tulip family's castle. Even if I were a saint, I might not be able to deal with that little girl. And I heard that she might also be a saint. That's why, Darling Chen, I ask you to come with me. If I deal with her alone, I have no confidence in subduing her. If I can't hold back my hand, I'm afraid I'll face life and death! So you If you don't want to see someone die, then you can't just stand by and watch. You and I join forces, and we can deal with her one by one, and then we can subdue her without killing anyone. Darling Chen, do you understand?"
