The next day, the morning light was faint and the night fog was misty.
Tang En froze in almost the same posture, sat on the green tiles of the roof all night, and welcomed the first thin ray of light in the morning.
The exposed clothes were already soaked and clung to the body, bringing with it the biting cold all night long. Even the eyebrows and eyelashes, the bun and the temples are also dyed with a light layer of frost. From a distance, it looks like an ancient bronze statue, with a cool and vicissitudes of life everywhere.
Only the eyes, which had not been closed all night, were no longer as trance-like as before. Perhaps because he had enough time to reflect and adjust, Tang En's eyes had basically returned to calm. At least that's how it seemed on the surface, as silent as icy water.
As for whether there was anything hidden under the ice water, that was unknown At this moment, a wine jar with its seal opened and exuding a faint aroma of wine appeared out of thin air in front of Tang En's ice water.
"I guess you need this now."
Now that Tang En has regained his composure, with his keen perception, there is no doubt that the only thing that can appear out of thin air around him is Bamutu who has gone and returned.
Shaking his head slightly, Tang En spoke his first words while sitting here, his voice hoarse: "I have to go on my way later."
"It's just a can of wine. It will moisten your throat and won't cause any problems."
After a pause, Tang En raised his hand and took the wine can: "Thank you."
"No need." Bamutu simply waved his hand, sat next to Tang En and sighed, "If it weren't for the fact that the injury has not healed yet and his strength has been greatly reduced, and he is no longer as good as you, I will definitely give you a good beating first."
Tang En twitched the corners of his mouth, barely showing a smile. Then he raised his head and took a sip of wine, and his voice returned to normal: "Mr. Ba, you're welcome. If you really want to teach me a lesson, your injury and strength are no hindrance."
This is not modesty. The truth is this. The so-called thousand-legged insect. Dead but not stiff. As long as a master of Bamutu's level is still breathing, even if he is covered with wounds, who dares to look down on him?
Bamutu smiled when he heard the words, neither denying nor agreeing. He just changed the topic, shook his head and sighed: "Before I said this, I was still very optimistic about you, and I was also optimistic that you and that girl Lansha would eventually get together. Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to accompany her to the Gray Army. It's just that I didn¡¯t expect it You kid really didn¡¯t let me take the wrong idea. You were so generous in your actions, and you just made a child outside without saying a word, ha"
The wine can paused in mid-air, and Tang En replied calmly: "Ba Lao didn't come here just to entertain me, right?"
"Of course not." Bamutu clapped his hands, stood up and said, "I'm here to deliver a message. Of course, you can treat it as a whistleblower. After all, although that person didn't avoid my order, he didn't ask me to deliver it Well. The mountains are high and the roads are long, and the warriors are somewhat unaccustomed to the environment and climate of Bran. For the sake of safety, it is expected that it will take the vanguard of the tribal army about a month to reach the front line of the battle, Lenau Riverside.¡±
When Tang En heard this, he was immediately startled. He fixed the gesture of touching the edge of the wine can to his lips. After a moment, he slowly put it down: "Thank you thank her for me."
"The so-called reasons such as high mountains and long roads, unsuitable acclimatization and so on, are of course just excuses. The barbarian soldiers can even take the harsh living environment of the Northern Wilderness as a matter of course, so how could they not adapt to the good environment and climate of Bran? Therefore, instead of saying that it takes about a month to travel, it is better to say that it will make way for Tang En's next actions
Waved his hand, "I said, there's no need. And this is just a strategic decision made for safety and has nothing to do with anything else. Well, since the words have been conveyed, I won't stay any longer."
Bamutu was very straightforward. He said he wanted to leave a moment ago, but at this moment his figure had disappeared into the void, leaving only a faint warning, "Be careful, kid, it is not easy to break into the temple." Place. Although the old immortal Pope himself is not very powerful, he has many evil ways. If you can avoid provoking him, you better not do it. Of course, if you can send him to see the so-called God of Light, then I will treat you to a drink when he comes back ¡¡±
The words fell, and soon disappeared with the faint mist that gradually dissipated, and finally fell into silence.
After a pause, Tang En slowly stood up, looking up at the thin light from the east, and drank the remaining wine. Then he threw the empty can far away and jumped off the roof.
"Boss." Before the wine can, which was drawing a parabola in the air, landed, a group of figures quickly jumped out from all corners of the surrounding area and gathered around Tang En in an instant.
Gray space, everyone is here.
"David, take your people to stay and protect the station. The rest of the people will go with me. Owens, you will also go with usLittle Carol, what are you doing here? Go and accompany your sister Josiah everywhere. Don¡¯t go, David is keeping an eye on her!¡±
As their respective strengths grow day by day, the team becomes more mature, and they basically have the ability to take charge of their own affairs, Gray SpaceMembers have not acted together with Tang En for a long time. In this way, the people who were clicked, such as Harry, Luke, etc., were naturally happy and beaming.
Correspondingly, the little Carol, David, and David's team members who were left behind were extremely depressed when they heard this. However, the situation this time was special, and coupled with the fact that Tang En was now in a freezing cold state, they knew that there was no room for negotiation on this matter, so they could only hold their noses and admit it
Time is running out and the situation is critical. To be honest, the concessions made by Lansha were beyond Tang En's expectation. In this way, now it is natural to keep everything simple and speed up!
After quickly issuing orders and concisely explaining everything, Tang En turned around and left without saying a word.
At this time, David suddenly called: "Boss uh, do you want to say hello to Joshua before leaving?"
After a pause, Tang En turned his head and glanced at the room behind him. The doors and windows were closed He took a deep breath and strode away: "Let's go!"
Still, now everything is futile. It may even cause counter-effects and intensify conflicts. It might be better if we separate temporarily and let each other calm down for a while
There is no farewell or farewell.
Regarding Xia Wei'an, not many people in the station knew about it. Except for David and other gray space people, there were only a few parties involved. Even Frey and other senior officials didn't know about the others. So when Tang En took Owens and half of the Gray Space members and quietly left the station in the dim light of morning, no one got up early to see them off.
Harry and others have already prepared fast horses outside. No one paused at all. Run as fast as possible to leave the station.
"Tang En." He was galloping. Owens urged his horse to approach, "Have you decided on a route? As far as I know, there is a remote teleportation tower in Sharon City, more than a hundred kilometers away. If it was not destroyed in the war, we"
"Let's chase people first." Tang En interrupted.
"Chasing someone? Chasing whom?"
"Second Prince!"
"¡¡good idea!"
It¡¯s indeed a good idea.
After the temple captures Xia Wei'an, of course they won't immediately try him or execute him secretly. After all, Xia Wei'an is also a reputable person. Even though he is currently in opposition to the temple, there will always be some believers who are doubtful about it. There must always be a reasonable explanation for the temple. And taking advantage of this period of time, after the position of the Gray Army and the tribal army spread to the south, the temple side would naturally be even more reluctant to kill Xia Wei'an. In other words, even if they are willing, the empire will not agree
Of course, even if Xia Wei'an is not killed, he will still be placed under house arrest. At the same time, the empire and the temple must also be able to think of the rescue operation that will follow here, and will definitely make various arrangements and preparations.
It is no exaggeration to predict that when Tang En and his rescue team officially set foot on the southern land, they would be faced with heavy blockades and sieges.
Tang En has confidence in himself. We also have confidence in the gray space. These blockades and suppressions should not be able to stop them. But it is inevitable. When they deal with these blockades and sieges, they will inevitably be slowed down in the rescue progress and waste unnecessary time.
This is what Tang En doesn¡¯t want to see.
So he wanted to disrupt the situation first and disrupt the joint deployment of the temple and the empire. And the 'shit-stirring stick' that can have such a powerful effect is naturally none other than the second prince and his party.
This is almost certain!
When the empire announces that the second prince, who died at the hands of the Gray Army, suddenly appears in the southern land, the chaos caused will definitely be a great disturbance.
And this is Tang En¡¯s opportunity, a chance to fish in troubled waters
¡¡
Of course, these are just assumptions. The first problem Tang En had to solve was to obtain the cooperation of the second prince and his party.
And in fact, it is not difficult
Leaving aside the night, it only takes half a day. No matter how fast the second prince and his noble negotiating team return home, they will certainly not be able to fly out of the northern border immediately.
In fact, Tang En and others didn't even need half a day to successfully intercept the opponent on the mountain road.
When he met the second prince, Tang En did not hide it, and now he did not have the time or mood to hide it. He directly stated the situation concisely, put forward his request, and then waited for the other party's decision.
The second prince was naturally shocked by Tang En's sudden arrival. After all, they are now on the territory of the Gray Army. If the other party has murderous intentions, there is really not much they can do. However, he is worthy of the smart man that Lan Sha calls him. After briefly understanding the situation, the second prince nodded directly and agreed without any further hesitation: "No problem, everything will be as per what Mr. Tang En said.", we will definitely cooperate here. "
"I don't agree."
Of course, there is no shortage of naysayers in this world. Perhaps he felt that the second prince agreed too readily, or perhaps he felt that he was the smart one.
Before the second prince finished speaking, an old nobleman with curly hair stood up, stroking his white beard and said: "The negotiation agreement has just been reached. Logically speaking, we are now collaborators with the Gray Army, and we should help each other. But this matter After all, it is not a business matter, but a private matter of Mr. Tang En, so it is not within the scope of the negotiation agreement."
After a pause, the conversation suddenly changed, "Of course, I can't help with personal matters. But, well, if you want to get something, you have to pay first. After all, after we return to the south, our future is uncertain"
After sighing meaningfully, the eyes of the members of the surrounding aristocratic negotiation team lit up as they watched Tang En start to speak.
The so-called obedience requires listening. This is especially important when talking to people who claim to be of high status. For example, right now, despite the curly-haired old aristocrat Balabala talking a lot, the point is actually just that - if you want to get, you have to pay first!
To put it bluntly, you, Tang En, are begging us to do something. And since you are asking for help, of course you must be paid.
As for what the reward is, I just want to take this opportunity to tie Tang En and others to the noble negotiation team. In this way, they will have an extra layer of personal safety when they return to the south.
How should I put it According to the principle of equivalent exchange, this request is not too much. Originally, there is no free lunch in the world. If you, Tang En, want to use us to disrupt the situation, then it is natural for us to use you to defend ourselves, right?
It¡¯s just a pity that this curly-haired old nobleman has forgotten what it means to be stronger than others, and he also forgot whose territory he is standing on now. More importantly, he ignored Tang En's current emotions
"If you want to get something, you have to pay first Well, that makes sense!" Tang En rubbed his brows, looked at the curly-haired old nobleman, and nodded with a smile.
The latter and all the old nobles around him couldn't help but feel happy when they saw this, thinking that Tang En had agreed. Only the second prince on the side suddenly changed his expression when he heard this. He subconsciously stepped forward and waved his hand, blocking the curly-haired old noble: "Wait a minute"
A wisp of breeze blew by itself, and the palm of his hand suddenly felt warm, and with a flash of blade light, a column of blood and water shot up into the sky like an underground fountain, splashing in all directions, instantly drenching all the old people around who were unprepared. The nobleman stood blankly with his whole body and face covered.
The head of the curly-haired old aristocrat with a successful smile hanging from the corner of his mouth has already left his body and is easily grasped in Tang En's hand. Turning his head, he glanced at the few royal worshipers around him who had just stepped forward and raised their hands, their eyes as cold as ice. Upon seeing this, the latter looked at each other with a bitter smile, quietly put down his palm, and retreated behind the second prince again.
Withdrawing his gaze, he raised his foot and kicked it out. The headless corpse flew into the ravine beside the road.
Tang En half-turned around, holding his curly hair, looking at the stunned nobles with a calm expression: "Now, who agrees? Who opposes?"
