When Reimer, Shabaja and the others left, Caroline suddenly asked Lucius, "Why? Why don't you let your aunt go with you? Do you know that once the Sand Sea Empire recovers, the city of Xiana will become the forefront of the attack of the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom, and you will still leave the aunt behind?"

As if he had expected Caroline to question himself like this, Lucius lowered his head and looked at the map in front of him.

After a long time, he spoke: "This is my aunt's own decision, and I have already begun to arrange in all the countries of the Western Regions, and the city of luxury will not be the first line of defense, but the last line of defense outside the country." ”

Listening to Lucius's answer, everyone present was shocked, and Modès quickly figured out the key.

Modex asked with some surprise: "Are you, do you want to use the Western Regions to resist the Buddha Kingdom and the Immortal Domain?"

Seeing that Lucius did not deny it, Modès then said: "But, but why do you want to let the aunt stay? And Christine, do you want to let them stay? Let them go and resist the Buddha Kingdom and the Immortal Land for those two guys in the Sand Sea Empire?"

Faced with Caroline and Modes's questioning, Lucius sighed and said, "Someone has to do these things." ”

Lucius's indifference made Caroline, Modès, and Kirier feel extremely puzzled, and at this time, Brute Scar and Nali had already exited the temple hall with each other.

Only Lucius was left in the entire hall, and there were four people, Caroline, Modès and Kirille, who looked at each other and did not say anything again.

After waiting for a while, Qi Li'er suddenly couldn't bear it anymore, and first said, "Why, why do you want to let the aunt do it?

Lucius's expression suddenly became stern, his gaze swept over the cheeks of the three women present, and he said unusually calmly: "Because, both Brute Scar and Nali have other tasks, and we are short of manpower now. So Auntie and Christine they have to stay. ”

Lucius's answer made the other three stunned for a moment, and Lucius's indifference and composure made the three of them vaguely aware of something.

Caroline asked very sensitively: "Isn't it, is it that you and your aunt have some troubles? Do you want your aunt and them to die in the Western Regions?"

Faced with the entanglement of the three of them, Lucius finally felt angry and yelled directly at Caroline: "Could it be that other people should be sacrificed? Why can't Auntie and Christine make sacrifices?

The three of them were shocked by Lucius's sudden outburst of rage, and they didn't expect Lucius to suddenly burst into anger.

Looks. Lucius did seem to be provoked, but the three of them didn't understand why Lucius was suddenly provoked, and the three of them didn't feel that there were words in their words that angered Lucius.

The entire temple fell silent, and none of the four of them continued to speak, as if everyone was reluctant to speak first.

Lucius gradually calmed down, unwilling to argue with the three women, nor did he want to tell Du Liniang about his betrayal. Waving his hand and saying to the three of them, "You guys go back and prepare first, this trip to the Sand Sea will be very dangerous for us, so you better prepare well." ”

Saying that, when the three of them were about to leave. Lucius spoke again: "Don't worry, I have left enough resources for the eldest aunt and them, enough for the eldest aunt and them to resist the immortal realm and the Buddha kingdom. ”

Women are always more attentive and sensitive than men, and at this time I saw the appearance of Lucius. Caroline, Modès, and Gille were all aware that something was wrong.

The three women all felt that something should have happened to make Lucius's attitude towards Du Liniang and Christine and others suddenly change.

Caroline turned her head to continue asking. But he was stopped by Modès and Gillier, and was pulled out of the temple hall by Modès and Cheeriel.

Walking out of the main hall, Caroline shook off the arms of the two and asked with some dissatisfaction: "What are you doing? Why are you stopping me? Don't you want to know what happened? Lucius's attitude towards the aunt suddenly changed, something must have happened here. ”

Seeing Caroline's shouting appearance, Qi Lier whispered with some fear: "Actually, it's better not to ask, I think Lucius must be sad now." ”

Modus also nodded and agreed: "Yes, it can be seen that Lucius must have had a hard time making such a decision. ”

At this moment, the three women heard a sound of footsteps, turned their heads to follow the sound, and just happened to see Du Liniang walking slowly towards the main hall.

The three women hurriedly stepped forward and surrounded Du Liniang, and Caroline said very directly: "Auntie, you, are you here to reason with Lucius? We will go with you, Lucius is too much this time, and actually let you stay, even if there is any contradiction, wouldn't it be good to say it?"

Seeing Caroline's hot appearance, Du Liniang's originally depressed brows stretched, smiled and stretched out her hand, gently caressing Caroline's cheek.

Then she looked at Modette and Qi Li'er again, recalling the various experiences that everyone had traveled all the way from the Caohai Plain, and Du Liniang couldn't help but smile on her face.

But Du Liniang rejected Caroline's suggestion: "You guys go back first, I asked to stay, don't blame Lucius for this matter, in fact, I know very well that it takes time for the Sand Sea Empire to fully recover, and Lucius also needs time, so I have to stay and buy time for you." ”

Modès was a little surprised and said, "But Auntie, can you really stop the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom if you stay?"

Qi Li'er also followed up and said: "Yes, the Immortal Domain and the Buddha Kingdom are the Eternal God Kingdom, their strength is very terrifying, if once the Sand Sea Empire recovers, they will definitely attack with all their might, and even the entire Western Regions countries will probably not be able to resist each other at that time." ”

Caroline still insisted on going in and reasoning with Lucius: "No, auntie, let's go to Lucius together, we can't let you stay and go on an adventure." ”

Du Liniang grabbed the three girls and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, this matter has been decided, don't continue to say anything, go back and prepare, remember to help Lucius, and protect yourself." ”

The more Du Liniang said this, the more difficult it was for the three girls to give up, and Qi Lier couldn't help but shed tears.

Stretching out her hand to wipe away Qi Li'er's tears, Du Liniang smiled and said, "Don't be sad, we should believe in Lucius's arrangement, when we were in Songjiang City, weren't we all fine?"

Under Du Liniang's continuous persuasion, she finally let the three girls let go of their obsession and persuaded all three of them to go back.

Then Du Liniang walked towards the main hall of the temple alone, and stepped into the main hall directly, thinking about Lucius standing in front of the map, and tried not to make a sound to disturb Lucius.

However, Lucius still sensed Du Liniang's arrival, raised his head and looked at Du Liniang and said, "You are here, how are the defenses outside the city prepared?"

Du Liniang nodded and said, "Well, the defense facilities of Xiana City have been basically completed, and the rest is only mechanical assembly, it seems that it will take some time, but before you set off, it should be able to complete all of them." ”

Lucius replied: "Well, don't worry, I will wait for the underground tunnel to break through before leading the team to leave." ”

Hearing what Lucius said, Du Liniang was stunned for a moment, and then understood that Lucius did this to buy herself some time.

Du Liniang couldn't help but be grateful to Lu Xiusi, she didn't expect that she had betrayed him, Lu Xiusi still thought about her, and tried her best to have enough ability to resist the fairy realm and the Buddha Kingdom.

When Du Liniang finished explaining the progress of the project and turned around and walked towards the outside of the main hall, Lu Xiusi suddenly said: "You can contact the Tang Empire, I believe that the Holy Emperor will be interested in my construction, and tell him for me that I am willing to give him the Western Regions defense line."
