Marbury said with all his strength:
"The king wanted me to die. He wanted me to be buried alive with Loulan."
"Go on, go on."
Duke Rank held onto Marbury tightly, fearing that he would die.
Marbury rolled his eyes and continued intermittently:
"I...I can't do it anymore."
"Fuck! You can't do this at this time."
Duke Rank screamed in his heart, "Fuck you, it's not too late to die after you finish speaking."
"Come here, give him a new life."
After saying that, someone directly fed Marbury a few blood-replenishing pills.
Marbury finally recovered and after taking a deep breath, he said:
"Okay, I'm fine."
"That's good. What did the king do to you?"
"He...he...never mind. It's too much to describe in words. I don't want to say it anymore."
"I..."
This guy whetted Duke Rank's appetite, but in the end he choked to death.
Seeing his ugly face, even if Marbury was stupid, he knew he couldn't tease him anymore, so he said something a little more quickly:
"Now the king intends to have all of us perish along with you. I didn't want to send my brothers to die, so I just objected, and he used my family to force me. I can't let my family kill me. I originally wanted to incite rebellion, but I was discovered in the end, so I escaped alone. I'm lucky to be saved by you, Duke."
Hearing this news was very important to Duke Rank.
He was eager for him to continue.
He asked, "How is Loulan's current combat strength?"
Marbury said seriously:
"If he could handle you guys, he wouldn't have to push me like this."
"Great, then launch the attack immediately."
When Duke Rank said this, Marbury was shocked. If the attack really happened, he would be a sinner.
So he quickly stopped her and said:
"Duke, don't do that. He wants to give the soldiers some extremely poisonous elixirs that can increase their combat power tenfold. The effects will last until all the enemies are dead. In the end, the soldiers will die of exhaustion."
This medicine was completely made up by Marbury, so Duke Rank naturally didn't believe it.
He tilted his neck and said, "That's impossible. How come I have never heard of this kind of medicine?"
Marbury had already thought of his words.
"Duke Rank, of course the king didn't. Have you forgotten his son-in-law? He was the one who resurrected the king. He has so many magical things in his hands. You must not be reckless. I ran out to tell you this news. Only if you don't take action, our soldiers won't die."
Duke Rank slapped his head and suddenly realized.
"Yes, you're right. That guy is indeed very mysterious, so it's not surprising that he has such concerns. But if I don't attack, how can I take Loulan City?"
"Don't worry, Duke Rank. I can sneak back into the city and contact my men to kill that guy. As long as I take the elixir, it won't be too late for you to attack later."
"Yes, yes, but are you sure?" Duke Rank now believed in Marbury's words.
Because he never figured out what Marbury wanted to do with him?
Marbury just didn't want himself and his men to die.
This kind of request is normal.
When Marbury saw that Duke Rank had taken the bait, he said:
"Just give me a little more time, and I will definitely hand over Loulan City to you."
"Give you a little more time?"
Marbury's words immediately aroused Duke Rank's vigilance. He felt that the other party's fox tail had finally been exposed.
He immediately asked suspiciously, "Are you stalling for time?"
Seeing Duke Rank's suspicion, Marbury didn't panic at all. He immediately stretched out five fingers and said:
"Duke Rank, please do not doubt my character. If you don't believe me, I can swear to heaven or sign an agreement with you. Just give me five days, and I will definitely hand over the entire Loulan City to you intact."
"real?"
"real."
Marbury's words are impeccable.
And he was not deceived. He really handed over the city of Loulan, but it was just an empty city.
Duke Ranke was overjoyed.
"Okay, let's sign the agreement right away. I'll give you five days. If you can't do it, you'll pay with your life."
"OK."
Marbury agreed without hesitation.
After they signed the agreement, Duke Rank shook Marbury's hand and said:
"If you can hand over Loulan City to me, I will definitely make you the general of Loulan."
Marbury immediately waved his hand and said:
"No, no, I just want to save everyone's lives. As for the position of general, it's impossible for me to do that."
Marbury doesn't want to be his general. He might even want to kill him when the time comes.
Duke Rank obviously misunderstood what Marbury said.
He thought Marbury had done something so outrageous that he would never dare to be a general again.
So he saluted and said:
"General Mabry is so righteous. I will wait for the general's good news."
Marbury waved his hand and said:
"No hurry, Duke Rank, I can't go now. Wait until night and then go in quietly."
"Oh, yes, yes. Go and have a good rest now, and recharge your energy so you'll have more energy in the evening."
This time, Marbury was treated as a guest of honor by Duke Rank.
He was immediately sent to the most comfortable tent, and the only thing missing was a few maids.
Marbury stayed in the tent very comfortably until nightfall.
And Duke Rank has already persuaded a group of princes.
Of course, the princes would be happy to have the opportunity to easily obtain Loulan City. After all, they only have to spend a little time, so why not do it?
Just then, Duke Rank's humble and flattering voice was heard outside the tent.
"General Mabry, it's almost time. Shouldn't you set off now?"
Marbury had already had enough food and drink and had a good sleep. When he heard Duke Rank urging him, he said lazily:
"Hahaha, okay. Thank you for your hospitality, Duke. I'll be leaving now."
"Okay, okay, let's go."
Only then did Marbury walk out and climb up the city wall under the cover of night.
All this was done under the watchful eye of Duke Ranke.
But when he arrived in the city, Marbury immediately forgot about Duke Rank and went to report to the king.
He strode into the palace, and the king naturally couldn't sleep either.
The King saw Marbury's smile and smiled too.
"You look so happy, you must have succeeded, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. We have five more days to evacuate the people. The city itself has already been emptied."
"Hahahaha, that's great. I didn't expect that this usually reckless man could actually deceive our enemies."
