Chapter 53: The Secret Room
In the conference hall, the candlelight faded as time passed. I turned my head to look at the candle that was about to burn out, and wondered if I wanted to add more?
At this time, the discussion in the hall also stopped. Nalan Ji stroked his beard with satisfaction and said, "If the two of you have no objection, this battle is so decided?" β
Hai Bodong and Yun Yun both participated in the discussion, so naturally they had no opinions, and they all agreed.
Nalan Ji nodded, turned his head to look at Nalan Jia again, and said in a deep voice: "Na Langa, I will also fight this battle, and the army will be under your full command." β
"When you go back later, you can start preparing according to the agreed plan, and there is no mistake."
"Yes, old patriarch."
Naranga stood up and arched his hand, answering in a sonorous and powerful voice, his face full of solemnity.
At this point, the war negotiations have finally come to an end, and I am also relieved. With such a tight battle plan, it should be able to increase the chances of victory, right?
After all, this is the territory of the Gama Empire, not the territory of the snake people, and Medusa has gone deep into this place, and there are no reinforcements at all!
Yun Yun and Hai Bodong got up and left, but a few people from my Nalan family didn't move, because the old man didn't move either, and he was still sitting steadily.
Looking at the posture, is it to discuss the family affairs of the Nalan family?
"Nalan Ye, I heard that you and Sect Master Yun ...... Killed a sixth-order Amethyst Winged Lion King outside Wusi City? β
At this time, I could hear Nalan Ji ask. I was stunned, then nodded, and replied with a smile: "Yes, old man!" β
I explained what happened slightly, and finally nodded, and said with a smug smile on my face: "In the end, I commanded the 1,700 fighters of Wusi City and assisted Senior Yun to successfully kill that sixth-order demonic beast that was doing a lot of evil!" β
"Fart!"
Suddenly, Nalan Ji glared, pointed at me and scolded: "Lao Tzu is not old and confused, you dare to fool Lao Tzu?!" β
"Really, I don't know? That battle was commanded by the city lord of Wusi, what is your business? Take less credit for yourself! β
This old guy is really well-informed.
I cursed, my face slightly red from being exposed. But then I coughed dryly, and my face recovered, and I snorted:
"Uncle, don't forget that he is already my follower, and he commands ...... Isn't that what I commanded? β
Nalan Ji snorted coldly, but he didn't dwell on this matter anymore. He smiled, stroked his palm and said, "Don't forget, this kid is good, I know what happened in that battle, it's very good, he's a good man!" β
His face suddenly changed again, and his fighting spirit was running, and a burst of Douwang coercion came to me, and he shouted: "When you kid is recruiting people...... Didn't you treat other people, did you? β
My face was pale, and my chest was a little dullβsomething that felt familiar for more than a year. Do these people with high cultivation like to bully people like this?
I was a little indignant in my heart, and secretly said that when I cultivated to a high level, I had to bully and bully Xiao Mengxin like this, and I was addicted to the seniors.
Fortunately, the coercion exuded by the old man is not heavy, and I am just a little uncomfortable. I squeezed a big smile on my face and struggled to shout:
"Uncle, don't worry! It's not that I don't know the severity, how can I mess around? I am all kind words and understand with Mo Forget, he is a small city lord, why doesn't he want to join my Nalan family? β
"As soon as I mentioned this, he immediately resigned from his position as Lord of Wus and left with his grandson. On the way to Shimo City, Sun Er was also entertained with good wine and meat, and he definitely didn't treat him badly. β
"That's good, this kind of good man should come to our Nalan house. Our Nalan family also has good wine and good meat, and we can greet them vigorously! β
Nalan Ji nodded with satisfaction, said a few more words, and dispersed.
However, this meeting was not a rush like the end of class, the teacher was still on the podium, and the students had already rushed out of the classroom.
It was up to the highest ranking to leave first, and I stood by with my head bowed, and waited for all four old fellows to go out before I walked out of the hall.
When I looked up, it was completely dark. A half-moon hung in the sky, and the beautiful moonlight sprinkled down, plating the stone desert city with a layer of silver halo. Let this rugged and heroic northwest city finally have a bit of a refined feeling.
A night breeze blew, and it was a little cool. This place is close to the desert, and it is hot to death during the day, and cold to death when the sun sets.
I tightened my robe, and instead of staying in the shop for the night, I made my way to the headquarters of the Desert Iron Mercenary Regiment, where the scales were still there.
But when I got to the entrance of the shop, I realized that there were about ten people waiting for me.
"Young Master Ye."
These people saluted me in unison, and the leader was Mo Forget, he was my follower, so naturally it was impossible for him to go back to rest like Xiao Yan and them, but to wait for me all the time.
Although the other ten people looked like mercenaries, after a little thought, I guessed that they were actually the guards of my Nalan family.
Probably out of the ancient river, just in case of accidents, these people were sent by the old man to protect me?
I was slightly moved in my heart, and with a wave of my hand, I walked towards the garrison of the Desert Iron Mercenary Regiment surrounded by a group of guards.
Halfway through, I turned my head to look at Mo Forget, smiled, and said, "Don't forget, when I was discussing just now, I mentioned you to the old man. β
Mo Forget was slightly stunned, and then became a little excited. Nalan Ji is not only one of the ten strongest men in the Gama Empire, but also Marshal Lionheart of the Empire, don't forget that it is impossible for this kind of person not to worship Nalan Ji.
He swallowed his saliva and asked with some trembling: "Master, what did the marshal say?" β
I laughed, and the sound of laughter rang out in the empty streets for a long time. I reached out and patted Mo Forget's shoulder, gave me a thumbs up again, and said with a serious expression:
"Good man!"
"The old man listened to what I said about the battle outside the city of Wusi, and praised you for being a good man!"
"He also said that he would have to find you to drink another day, drink wine in a big bowl, eat meat in a big piece, and don't get drunk and don't return."
Don't forget that his face flushed, and his whole body became excited. Trembling for a long time, he calmed down his excited heart, took a deep breath, and said:
"What a man, marshal, I am a small town...... No, I'm a big fighter, what qualifications do I have to drink with the marshal? β
"Heroes don't ask about their background, what kind of person is the old man, how can he care about these trivial matters?"
I shook my head, looked at Mo Forget with great meaning, and said, "Moreover, what is there to be nostalgic for a little city lord?" β
"As long as you follow Young Master Ben well and do your best for me, Young Master Ben can give you a great futureβfor example, a general of 10,000 people?"
Don't forget to pause, but not as ecstatic as I imagined, the expression on his face was a little light. After a while, he bowed and said:
"Thank you, master."
The smile on my face froze a little in the bright moonlight. It seems that this Mo Forget is not enthusiastic about power, and he still has no heart for me, and he is lukewarm to me......
The subjugation has not yet been successful, and there is still work to be done in the future.
I muttered something secretly, a little bored in my heart, flicked my sleeves, and took the lead and continued to walk.
Therefore, I also didn't notice that among the ten Nalan family guards, an inconspicuous man in the prime of life seemed to be on guard, looking left and right, but in fact, he was secretly paying attention to every word I said and remembering it firmly in his heart.
I didn't even know that in a secret room in the Nalan family's shop, the four old guys who had originally dispersed were actually together again!
There was only a small oil lamp in the secret room, and the dim firelight reflected on the four old guys, which seemed a little mysterious and weird.
After being silent for a long time, Nalan Jian finally spoke. He stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "Nalan Tie, you are his grandfather, tell me first, how is this little guy doing?" β
