As soon as the words fell, the door was pushed open again, and a gun-wielding figure followed Victor into the room.
"Tired and dusty, who is it if it's not Owens?"
He stood still, glanced around the room briefly, his eyes passed over Lansha, and settled on Tang En, showing a slightly complicated look. He then bowed slightly to Joshua who stood up from behind the table and said, "Protestant, Owens, have you seen him before?" Chief Josiah.¡±
"Josiah returned the greeting, then chuckled and greeted: "Your Excellency Owens is too polite. Since you know Tang En, you are a friend of our Gray Army. Please sit down and have some tea."
Owens was still polite, and held out his hands to guide Victor, who was walking out the door: "That's right, there are more than ten injured brothers of mine outside, and they are quite seriously injured. Thanks to this brother for sending them to treatment in time, Owens would like to thank you. !¡±
"Josiah looked at Victor with surprise, and the latter nodded slightly and explained: "Most of them are external injuries, and they have been sent to the wounded barracks for bandaging."
"Okay." After a slight pause, Joshua suddenly thought of something, looked at Owens and guessed hesitantly, "Their injuries are because of us?"
Owens simply nodded, then slowly shook his head: "That's true, but I wasn't the one who led them here."
"It must be Xia Wei'an." Tang En frowned and approached, speaking clearly. This is not difficult to guess. Since it is confirmed that the rescuer who disrupted the situation is indeed a member of the Protestant religion, then for Tang En, this problem is not a problem
"Xia Wei'an, the Flower of Knights?"
It has to be said that Xia Wei'an's reputation is still very great. Both Josiah and Lansha, who is from the Northern Wilderness, have heard about it many times. The latter looked at Tang En with an even weirder expression. It seemed like the first time she met Tang En in Beihuang. Tang En was chased thousands of miles by Xia Wei'an Such a relationship. Xia Wei'an will also come to the rescue?
Hearing this, Owens glanced at Tang En and smiled, as if he was quite satisfied with the latter's reaction. But then he did not answer directly, but sighed: "We at the Protestant Church have already received the news that the temple is going to take advantage of this negotiation opportunity to plot against you. But, well, this news was withheld by Xia Wei'an. Maybe. She was worried that everyone would disagree, so she didn't discuss it with everyone. She just made up a reason and led more than ten riders to come all the way. Oh, this fool By the time I realized what I was doing and started chasing after me, it was already too late "
After a pause, Owens looked at the stunned Tang En and Joshua, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "When the fallen messenger Meris appeared, I had already rushed nearby, but it was still a step too late. But, well, since you are now All safe and sound. That means she did succeed, right?"
"The sword missed the mark Let's put it this way. It was indeed Mr. Xia Wei'an who saved us!" Josiah, who finally figured out the context and knew who the savior of the Gray Army was, was extremely excited and subconsciously looked out the door. He asked eagerly, "Where is Your Excellency Xia Wei'an now? Such a great favor should be treated politely and thanked by our gray-clothed army."
Tang En was no longer calm. He had guessed it, but when it was actually confirmed, he still felt different. He knew the current territory of the Protestant Church, and he knew very well what Owens said about "not far away". Isn't that an exaggeration? The actual distance is more than thousands of miles away?
"Where is she? Uh is she injured?" Remembering what Owens had just said about the dozen brothers being seriously injured, Tang En's face couldn't help but change, and he asked hurriedly.
"I don't know if she was injured or not." Owens said expressionlessly, "I only know that she was captured by the temple."
"What¡ª¡ª"
"Impossible!" Not to mention Joshua's shock, Tang En shook his head subconsciously after hearing this, and directly denied it without thinking. He looked straight at Owens like an eagle and frowned, "I know Xia Wei'an's character very well, you Know better. She'll be captured - no way!"
"If it were before, of course I knew it was impossible But now, this is the fact." Owens did not avoid looking at Tang En and Joshua, and said solemnly, "Before she was captured, she asked the injured brother to send a message to Let me tell you again¡ªshe saved you this time, and it¡¯s your turn to save her next!¡±
Tang En definitely looked at every trace of Owens's expression, and it didn't look like he was faking it. He took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Where will she be imprisoned?"
"The Temple General Assembly! With her level and the level of resentment the temple has towards her, she can only wait for judgment in the Temple Assembly!"
"No problem, Sir Owens, please rest assured that our Gray Army will do our best to rescue Xia Wei'an." Josiah, who came back to his senses, did not hesitate to state his position categorically.
Hearing this, Owens shook his head slightly, with no joy in his expression: "Not enough, this is far from enough."
"What's not enough?"
¡°Not enough time, too late to rescue¡±??She is now in the Temple Association, facing a precarious situation. Even if you rush to rescue her now, the time spent on the road will be enough to determine her life or death. "
"That's not the case." Lan Sha, who was standing aside and had been hearing the current situation, frowned and said, "With Xia Wei'an's prestige in Bran, no matter how much the temple hates her, it should consider the thoughts of the believers and at least some of the trial procedures. You¡¯ll have to walk in a circle later, right?¡±
Owens still insisted on shaking his head: "Maybe, but this is not enough insurance."
"What do you mean?"
After a pause, Owens did not answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at Lansha and Joshua, and suddenly said to Tang En: "Although our Protestant religion has only been established for a short period of time, its intelligence strength is not weak. If I remember correctly, I guess If I¡¯m wrong, are you and Chief Joshua in a romantic relationship? And this Miss Lansha, His Highness Beihuang, has a good relationship with you, right?"
Tang En and the other three were stunned when they heard this. They were not shocked by the Protestant intelligence capabilities mentioned by Owens. After all, judging from the other party's plan to know the temple earlier, it is generally clear that the intelligence power of the Protestant religion should be in the same line as the temple, and they are all extraordinary. They are just surprised that what Owens is saying now seems to have no obvious connection with the current situation
Tang En frowned: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Owens nodded: "Okay, I think you all know the relationship between the temple and the current Bran Empire. One will be prosperous and one will be damaged. So if you want to ensure Xia Wei'an's safety, you can not only start from the temple. You can also start from The Bran Empire started to acquire it. To put it simply, it is to increase the value of Xia Wei'an as a prisoner. It will make the temple generals feel wary and not take action immediately."
After a pause, Owens stood up suddenly, bowed at 90 degrees, and saluted Josiah and Lansha, who were caught off guard. "Chief Josiah, Your Highness Lansha, I have thought about it. As long as we rescue Before the operation is successful. The gray-clothed army will not retaliate for the temple's assassination, and the Northern Wilderness tribe army will suspend its attack on the Bran Empire. Xia Wei'an will be safe and sound in the temple association. Please!"
"Uh, Sir Owens, what are you doing" Upon seeing this, Josiah quickly stepped forward to help Owens up. Although the latter stood up, he still looked at Josiah and Lansha sincerely.
I have to say that Owens¡¯ idea is indeed a good one. If what he said is true, then even if the temple is unwilling, the eldest prince's empire will not sit back and watch anything happen to Xia Wei'an.
but.
"You're kidding." Lan Sha refused coldly without hesitation, "Not to mention that I'm not familiar with Xia Wei'an. She has no life-saving grace for me. Even if she did, do you think I would give up a great opportunity and give up the attack? Bran Empire?"
??Although it is said in a very polite way, this is the truth. It didn't matter to Josiah. After reaching an agreement with the second prince, the gray-clothed army had no immediate plans to seek revenge or regain their position. But the Northern Wilderness tribe represented by Lansha is different. They and the Bran Empire are in a duel between two huge forces with a thousand-year feud. It cannot be transferred due to any personal will!
And then again, even if Lansha wants to help, he may not be able to do it. If you don't refuse directly, you won't make the other party think about it, and it will be difficult to deal with it
Tang En and Joshua are naturally aware of this, and they have no position to advise on this matter, otherwise they will fall out with Lansha. Therefore, I couldn't help but frown in silence.
The scene became silent as a result.
At this time, "Haha, I knew it would be like this. In this case" Owens seemed not surprised by the result, shaking his head and muttering in a low voice. Then he took a deep breath, straightened his body and chest, looked directly at Tang En with piercing eyes, "Then I can only leave it to you."
"kindness?"
"Xia Wei'an is pregnant, your child."
"Pregnantme, myWalter?! (what)"
At this moment, Tang En seemed to be hit directly in the head by a rolling thunder. His mind froze. He was dumbfounded, dumbfounded, dizzy, and didn't know where he was!
"Uh Mr. Owens, you, you" Josiah and Lansha, who were equally shocked and speechless, finally came back to their senses. They couldn't help laughing and laughing, with absurd faces on their faces, "This matter needs to be discussed. Yes, you are not, not like this"
Lan Sha shook his head and laughed: "Haha, no wonder I just talked about my relationship with Tang En Mr. Owens, are you not so naive? Do you think I will give up attacking Bran after giving such ridiculous reasons?"
¡°Obviously, neither Josiah nor Lansha believed in the trump card that Owens threw out. This is not surprising, it would be damned if they believed it immediately.
But the strange thing is that Owens¡¯s expression remained unchanged, as if he didn¡¯t hear the question., his gaze was still fixed on Tang En, and he slowly said: "You just said that Xia Wei'an could not be captured. Yes, of course Xia Wei'an in a normal state would not be captured, and could only fight to the end! But, She's pregnant Think about it, based on your understanding of Xia Wei'an's character, think about it again, other than this, why would she make such a choice? "
After finishing his words, Tang En, who had managed to regain some sanity by relying on his powerful killer instinct, thought about it subconsciously, and then, the dam in his mind suddenly collapsed. There is only one thought that keeps flying and circling in my mind¡ª¡ª
Xia Wei'an is pregnant? Xavian is really pregnant - am I having a baby? I actually have a child¡ª¡ª
"Fear, joy, disbelief many complex emotions that have never been experienced in two lives, mixed and spread. On the outside, it manifests itself as standing in a daze and being in a trance.
Tang En was silent.
??Josiah and Lansha, who were observing him, fell silent one after another. His expression was dazed, and the absurd expression gradually receded from his face. Instead, there was a heart-stopping paleness, a bloodless paleness.
He fell back into his seat at a loss, his fingers tangled and his delicate body curled up. A hand touched his forehead, and he staggered back as if he could not bear the blow. Finally, when he was close to the wall, he was supported by Bamutu who appeared out of thin air in time.
Inside the house. Deathly silence.
No matter how intense the mood swings are. There wasn't even a trace of ripples.
Quietly. silent.
¡¡
I don¡¯t know how much time has passed, at least Tang En, who was standing there, didn¡¯t know. His thoughts had suddenly drifted thousands of miles away, and his eyes had no focus. Just as if I heard a laugh of "ha", a figure in the corner pushed away the supporting figure beside him, turned around and walked towards the door, with a determined back and raised his feet. He kicked open the wooden door with a bang and left
Soon after, a figure walked up to him and seemed to look at him intently for several minutes.
He said nothing, his erratic eyes looked like broken glass.
Subconsciously, I stretched out my hand to grab it, but my arm seemed to be frozen and disobedient, and in the end I couldn't reach out.
Then, I watched the figure slowly lower his head, turn around, and walk away quickly
¡¡
????????????????????????????????????????????
"sorry."
Owens stepped in front of Tang En, somewhat afraid to look into his eyes. He unconsciously avoided his gaze and tilted his head as he spoke.
Xia Wei'an has said before that she won't argue about anything. Therefore, the words she asked the Protestant knight to bring to Owens were for him and Tang En to speak alone. But Owens did not do this. After he found the Gray Army's station, his request was to see Josiah. Therefore, he expected that the current scene would occur
Owens does not regret his choice.
Even if he had to do it again, he would do it again. The reason is simple. This can better ensure Xia Wei'an's safety in the temple. It's just a bit cruel to Tang En, Joshua, and maybe Nalansha
Of course, no matter what the reason was, it was him who was too talkative, so Owens apologized.
For a moment, "No need This is not your fault, it is my own fault"
Owens was startled, but not for a long time, Tang En's voice was hoarse and hoarse, like the cold wind blowing from the cracks in the Gobi Desert, incomprehensible and indescribable, "Ahem If it hadn't happened between me and Xia Wei'an in the inn. It¡¯s useless for you to talk about those things. Isn¡¯t it?¡±
"I just felt a little unpreparedJosiah didn't, but she had it first. Haha, this kind of thing is really beyond your control"
Listening to Tang En¡¯s expressionless and calm analysis, Owens couldn¡¯t help but subconsciously take a step back, muttering speechless.
It was only between noon and afternoon. In the final analysis, Owens' decision was a bit hasty and hot-headed. Of course, he also considered Tang En's various reactions, including being silenced by a furious Tang En, being unable to leave the Gray Army's garrison, etc. But any kind of imagination does not include Tang En's current strange state
Calm, calm horror.
Like a machine, it considers problems and handles troubles in a meticulous manner.
Tang En, who didn't feel that he was more terrifying in the eyes of Owens, paused for a while, took a deep breath, regained his original voice, and said to himself: "Let me think about itaccording to time, she should be eight months pregnant now. She's about three months old. If this hadn't happened, would she have been planning to hide it from me like this? Didn't she tell me even after she was born? Ha, she really doesn't argue about anything At eight months, the fetus should be taking shape. Like this You dare to go out and run around when you are sensitive, you are so courageous By the way, how is her physical condition now?"
"Uh, that's good."??. Owens subconsciously continued, "Except for this long journey, she usually pays attention to protecting herself. She rarely goes out, and she also invites a few experienced women to accompany her. I remember that except for a few times of vomiting, there was nothing abnormal about her body. "
"Oh, that's good Haha, how can I say that she is a genius warrior? Her physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary women."
"Yeah, haha" Owens, who wasn't sure whether it was humor or something else, could only laugh in agreement.
"Well, let's do it for now." As if washing his face, he held his hands and rubbed his cheeks vigorously. Tang En seemed to have completely come back to his senses, and nodded politely to Owens, "You are always more familiar with the temple than me. Today Tonight, no, early tomorrow morning, you and I will go to the south for a walk. Are there any questions?"
"no problem."
"Okay, what should you prepare? You go to Victor, the man who took you to the station just now. Just tell him." He raised his hand and walked towards the door. He paused when he crossed the threshold and turned his head, "By the way, she Have you chosen a name for your child in advance?"
"Yes, there are several. But I'm not sure yet. I was discussing it with her new friend Cindy some time ago."
"Cindy? Shedon't let her have a name!"
"Well¡¡"
