The next day, the sun sets, Dusk is approaching.

On the official road on several li outside the small town, looking at the ancient city wall in the distance covered with sunset glow and dyed with heroic colors, a group of more than a dozen people who were exhausted and dressed as if they were homeless, couldn't help it. roared towards the sky, cheering with arms raised.

"Oh, the Wild God is above... We finally arrived alive..."

"Fuck, luck, luck this time..."

"Cao Te Niang, that group of Titus chops are absolutely crazy. They didn't go to the battlefield, but they ran over to stop us... Really, Cao Te Niang..."

Or thank God, or Cursing and soothing nerves, more than a dozen people scattered on the official road, jumping and hugging, cheering and celebrating like a madman.

Of course, whoever is under heavy siege and chase, nine deaths and still alive battered and exhausted, the team has changed from the more than 100 elite scouts at the time of departure to the more than ten homeless people today. , and finally successfully arrived at the destination, there will be reason to be excited.

Oh, not really, one of the barbarians riding on the sluggish giant wolf was not happy, but Dong Zhang hoped that he was quite at a loss. Then he took the wolf's head and walked aside, approaching another middle-aged barbarian who was also riding on the giant wolf, and asked honestly: "Sir, this is... uh, are we here?" "Haha, yes, we are here. He looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, the middle-aged barbarian seemed very ecstatic, and then he thought of something, patted Sabah's shoulder, and explained in a gentle tone, "Sorry, Sabah brother, I couldn't talk to you because of Quest regulations, now it's okay... ..." Pointing to the city wall in the distance, he sighed with joy, "This is the destination of this trip, we have successfully completed the Quest...

”

The voice did not fall , The barbarian who asked the question suddenly laughed arrogantly, as if his face changed. His expression couldn't be more excited, "Haha...I'm so stupid! It can be said that I have come alive! Hastily...hahaha..."

The crazy laughter is mixed with a series of foul language, which looks like crazy It made the middle-aged barbarian beside him jump. The blue-armored giant wolf subconsciously backed away, then shook his head speechlessly. I don't know if it's contempt or envy, and he muttered to himself, "What a lucky guy..."

If the Quest is successful, then the dozen or so people who survive will naturally have a big credit. But from the point of view of the middle-aged barbarians, whoever gets the most benefits from it should be the guy in front of him who is also riding a blue-armored giant wolf. Thinking about the great general's appreciation when he came here, we know that the other party will not only get this credit, but also have a qualitative leap in his future status after returning. It's really enviable... However, the middle-aged barbarian didn't realize that the lucky guy he was talking about had the ecstasy of abandoning all restraint, but when he looked at the tall city wall in the distance, there was a flash of silk in his eyes. The killing intent that is not easy to detect is cold!

hehe, have you finally found it, that mysterious barbarian commander...

Squinting his eyes, Tang En took a deep breath, and instantly suppressed the killing intent and anger in his heart. Emotional waves. Then look away. As usual, they joined the celebration and cheers...

After a while, after the excitement was cleared up, more than ten people set off again. This time, without the encouragement of the middle-aged barbarian officer, the team quickly approached the distant city wall.

It may be because you are in a good mood, or you may want to lay the foundation for future relationships. As soon as the team set off, the middle-aged barbarian officer took the initiative to walk with Tang En and chat about various topics.

Tang En naturally would not refuse this, while flattering and fawning in the disdainful eyes of the remaining Dark Snake Guard, he kept patting the middle-aged barbarian officer's horse. It seems that the reason why this operation can be successful is all because of the wise leadership of the other party and so on. On the other side, it showed a worried look, noting that the Titus scouts were so rampant. The tough question of what to do when they get back...

As it turns out, the horses are not in vain. After a series of checks. When the team stepped into the city to submit information to the superiors, the middle-aged barbarian officer really took the opportunity to tell what happened on the road. He secretly expressed his concern for his safe return.

It turned out well, they didn't throw away when they were used up like toilet paper. The superior intelligence mechanism reasonably allowed them to stay in the city for three days to buffer the rest, and said that they would send a barbarian battallion to escort them when they returned...

Of course, the latter has nothing to do with Tang En, he thought All they want is not to be kicked out of the city immediately.

Three days is enough!

 …

A quiet night.

Tang En did not act immediately, nor did he take advantage of the night to take any tentative measures, and he did not even collect necessary surrounding intelligence. After entering the designated area last night, I slept beautifully with my eyes closed, very at ease.

This is not to say that Tang En is not in a hurry. In fact, because of Joah's safety, he thought about forcing out the destination several times on the way, and then he left this intelligence squad and came here alone. But in the end, he still held back, following the team at a moderate pace, and even more calm after entering the city... The reason is very simple, compared to quick sword cuts through tangled hemp, Tang En understands more about what it means to be a mountain and fall short. reason!

There are some things that don't make sense to the outside world, but the truth is that assassination is a delicate craft. Involving all aspects, and even the state of mind may have a huge impact on the results... In short, don't panic, can't afford to be anxious, let it flow, where water flows, a canal is formed is the best Condition.

And the preparatory work for the assassination operation is much more complicated and sleepy than the actual work in the later stage. An unremarkable mistake is not an exaggeration to say that no matter how high the strength is - this is why Woodin must let Tang En make a move, without it, professional!

In the morning of the next day, Tang En, whose body and spirit were adjusted to the best condition, opened the door and walked out, took a deep breath, the cold wind entered his brain, and his spirit suddenly became Vibrate.

I glanced around, but I didn't see it clearly last night. I only knew that the location where I lived was probably in the Beicheng District. Now Tang En realized that what he was stepping on seemed to be the land of a wealthy merchant's manor.

Of course, the previous owner of this exquisite manor has long since left. And it should have been in a hurry at the time, and all kinds of debris can be easily seen everywhere. However, the general building is still intact, and even the Light God statue fountain in the middle of the small square open space not far away has not been destroyed. It's just that the garden on one side looks a bit run down. Winter is not the season for flowers to bloom. In addition, the leaves are scattered all over the ground without anyone cleaning, mixed with the rain and mud from the previous days. even messy.

After a general observation, Tang En thought about it, but did not walk to the door not far away. Instead, he sorted out the animal skin clothes and turned aside. Come to another residential area. After not looking for a long time, he smiled and greeted, "hehe, sir, good morning."

"Uh...oh, it's Sabah brother." The middle-aged barbarian scratching his messy blond hair The officer looked up and down Tang En's fairly neat attire, astonished asked. "Are you going out?"

"Yeah, I used to stay in the army, and I haven't really seen what Titus' city looks like... with adults?"

"Ha, it sounds like a good plan. But I'm sorry, I'm going to the intelligence station today, or you can call me, uh..." After speaking, the middle-aged barbarian officer couldn't continue, because he Suddenly remembered the bad relationship between Tang En and the Dark Snake Guard who came with him.

Hey, I knew you weren't going...Tang En just wanted to report it. Make your next stomping action unsuspecting. Of course, on the surface, he still showed a look of regret, and called the head: "That's it. Forget it, I'll just stroll around by myself."...

"Well, that's okay, Bring your ID card and be careful not to cause misunderstandings..." After hesitation, the middle-aged barbarian officer lowered his voice unconsciously, "This is not simple, no one can protect you if you cause trouble."

"Understood. , thank you for reminding me." Nonsense. If it was simple here, would I have come all the way so hard?

A few more chats. Tang En raised his hand to bid farewell to the middle-aged barbarian officer and walked out of the manor. Officially embarked on the tour...

At this time, in the City Lord's house, a conference hall that used to be the city's administrative officials gathered to discuss, Lansa also officially started the day's work.

Although I have said before that in the current battle, her role as the supreme commander of the Northern Wilderness is very small, so it is very boring to say. But that is only relative. In fact, not to mention wartime, even in normal times, she, the supreme commander of the army, will have a lot of military affairs to deal with.

It's just that it's still early, and the old barbarian generals are getting older, so they haven't been able to get up and relax, so there's still some time before the regular military morning meeting. Therefore, in the empty conference hall, only Lansa and various military official documents piled up on the table.

Oh, no, maybe there is someone else... wrinkling his nose, Lansa put down the book in his hand, frowned slightly, and said in a soft voice, "Bamutu grandfather, you've been drinking again. You shouldn't drink it if you're not healthy."

Lansa was the only one in the room, and the closest one was Andre and other guards who were standing outside the door. And these soft words, which were more like self-talk, obviously couldn't reach the door. However, what is even more bizarre is that Lansa tone barely fell, and a slightly old voice was directly connected,

"Uh, have you been found? Do I still smell of alcohol...hehe... ..." There was some embarrassed laughter, and a corner of the room suddenly rippled like a calm lake, and then a hair grey-white, senile barbarian old man appeared out of thin air, with a smile on his lips, "But this time I'm not drinking secretly, but Someone came to buy me a drink."

If Tang En, who was still wandering in the city at this time, appeared here, he would have recognized the old man at a glance. He was deep in the Imperial City Book Collection Pavilion in Beihuang. and unmeasurable administrator. Of course, the subsequent reaction is likely to be to turn around and walk away, as far as possible...

"Someone please?" She came to protect her safety, she should be the only one and her mother... But then she thought of something, nodded: "Is it the big brother?"

Tiu is also in the Imperial Family The core personnel naturally know the identity of Bamutu. In addition, Bamutu was very rare to be invited to drink not long after he arrived... Well, it's not hard to guess, at least for Lansa's IQ.

He shook his head in surprise, "Girl, you are too smart, be careful that you won't get married in the future, hehe." Bamutu smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's your big brother."

After a while, looking at Lansa's calm expression as usual, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "You don't want to know the purpose of his invitation to me for a drink?"

"I don't want to." Lansa simply shook her head, and then the corners of her mouth twitched. A bit of bitterness, "But it can be roughly guessed."

This is a fact. Although few people know the true identity of Bamutu, everyone who knows it is very aware of this old man who looks like a senile. What a terrifying influence on the North Desolate Tribe. It is no exaggeration to say that his attitude has a very important influence on the selection of the Imperial Family successor... so. The purpose of Tiu looking for him is naturally self-evident.

"Hehe, I know I can't hide it from you. That's right, he's testing. Although he didn't say it directly, it's almost like that." Bamutu walked over to the table and sat down. He took the teacup handed by Lansa, sighed, and sighed, "Girl, escaping can't solve any problem. Some things should be interrupted, and they will probably get worse in the end."…

Not explicitly, but Lansa certainly understands what it means. She could find any excuse to put aside Andre, Bear Old General and the others, but she couldn't hide from the old, cloudy eyes in front of her. A moment of silence. Whispered to himself: "But that's the big brother, and I really took his place..."

"Wrong, our North Desolate Tribe advocates weak are prey to the strong, you It's an indisputable fact that he is better than him, so why bother to talk about it?" Bamutu shook his head, "Actually, if you make a decision, you are actually saving him... In his capacity, even if you are willing to let him, Let him become the next Sovereign of Beihuang. How many tribes will obey him? With your wisdom, it is not difficult to imagine that this will be another internal battle of cannibalism. At that time, you still need to come forward. And he will Will become a sinner in the history of the tribe!"

Lansa was silent again, and with her wisdom, she didn't know such a truth. It's just that no matter how outstanding IQ and no matter how rational thinking, before facing the family love that blood is thicker than water, it will become a piece of mud. This is also the reason why the so-called honest officials are hard to cut off housework in the present world.

Honestly, she didn't want to make a choice, even though it was an easy one. She's still taking chances, so she's waiting, waiting for Tiu to make this decision - if he can see the situation. Taking the initiative to give up is undoubtedly the best situation at the moment.

Just. Will the big brother stop...

The answer is obvious, but Lansa doesn't want to think about it. He pursed his lips, and said more like he was off topic: "Lord mother often said that your old position has always been neutral."

"My position has always been on the side of the tribe and the Imperial Family." Putting down the teacup, Bamutu looked calm, "And in fact, I'm neutral enough. Otherwise, he would have died the moment he knew that he might affect the stability of the tribe and the Imperial Family."

" Bamutu grandfather..." Bamutu frowned again when he heard the words, obviously displeased.

"It's just nothing serious, didn't you take action?" Bamutu smiled indifferently and said, "It's just that this girl thinks about him everywhere, but he may not appreciate your kindness. Well, he hurried back from the front this time, it shouldn't be just to invite me, the Old Guy, for a drink, you'd better be careful."

Lansa also shook his head indifferently. Said with a smile: "Isn't there a Bamutu grandfather protecting you? What else should I be afraid of?"

"Ha, sweet-mouthed girl, I'm not invincible in the whole world...and, it will be sooner or later. You have to prepare early." After a while, Bamutu hesitated, but still said, "Do you think that after knowing that Tiu may have hidden evil intentions, why did the always wise Sir Empress let him be with you? Appearing in the army?"

After the words fell, Lansa lovable body was shocked, puzzled, unbelievable, sad... In a short moment, the look was changeable situation uncertain.

Compared to her hesitant self, Lansa knew very well that her mother, Sir Empress, had always been an absolutely rational person. In this way, she readily agreed to the unwilling Tiu to join her in the army with the details that she hadn't cared about before, and the meaning was obvious... She knew that Tiu would move, and she wanted herself to see Tiu's actions, She wants to—let Tiu force her to make a choice!

dong dong dong, there were three polite knocks on the door, the wooden door of the conference hall was pushed open from the outside, revealing Andre's figure, "His Royal Highness, Xiong Lao and the others have arrived, just waiting for you. Outside, when will the morning meeting start?"

Lansa subconsciously looked towards the table, and Bamutu, who was sitting there with a teacup a moment ago, was already disappeared out of thin air, just like when he appeared. weird look.

Came back to his senses, barely holding back the waves of heart, Lansa calmly waved: "Now, please come in, Uncle Bear."

"Yes!"

……

In the city, there is a luxurious restaurant on the third floor, but the inside was smashed to pieces.

"City Lord's mansion? hehe, I knew it would be here, it's really uncreative..." Pressing the window lattice and squinting at the city lord's mansion, which was tightly guarded in the direction of the city, Tang En couldn't help curling one's lip, "Is it interesting, you always play the trick of local tyrants who don't match your identity and don't stay here."

No wonder Tang En tsukkomi, because it seems that every power group occupying the town will subconsciously requisition the original symbol of city rights, the City Lord's House, as their temporary headquarters.

It certainly wouldn't be for safety's sake, in that case the aristocratic castles in the East City District would be the best choice. It is definitely not for strategic considerations. In that case, the city gate is the most important military stronghold... After thinking about it, only the reason for matching the identity can explain the current established rules.

Of course, it's just tsukkomi. In fact, Tang En still appreciates this rule, because it can ease the difficulty of assassination.

I didn't observe it for a long time, let alone do it directly. After remembering the general appearance of the City Lord's Mansion in the heart, Tang En went downstairs, bypassed the City Lord's Mansion, and walked towards the East City District.

The strict guards do not properly represent that the mysterious barbarian commander is here, or it may be a suspicion, so a lot of stepping work is needed.

Fortunately, Tang En is not short of time and patience...
