Chapter 1778 He secretly told me again——
Under the dark night sky, on the other side, it was also a sleepless night.
In the Hot Moon Bay's base camp, Wu Lun, Hu Saihei, Wu Taisui, Quincy and others were sitting in their seats. In front of the upright map in the lobby, the elegant military advisor Long Tingyun in white was still standing, looking at the markings on the map without saying a word.
The lobby was very quiet.
It was quite lively outside. The bandits rarely went to bed early and got up early. For them, drinking all night long was a common thing. At this time, the atmosphere of the party had reached its climax.
But in the lobby, it was unusually quiet.
There was not even a sound.
After a long while, Wu Lun finally couldn't help but say, "Military Advisor, do we really not need to send more people?"
The military advisor Long Tingyun was silent for a while and turned around.
Said: "No need."
"But, it's been so long, and there's still no news."
“…”
"I'm afraid something might happen over there."
“…”
"Why not send more people? That would increase our chances of winning."
Long Tingyun was waving his folding fan in his hand. The breeze made his beard flutter constantly, which looked a little funny, but the expression on his face was very serious.
He said, "No need. Sending more people is useless."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Hu Saihei immediately sneered, "Military Advisor, are you saying that tonight's battle is doomed to fail?"
Long Tingyun only glanced at him calmly, then said, "This time, my military advisor's arrangements are flawless. If they don't make any additional arrangements, then our troops are definitely more than enough."
“…”
"But, if they have—other arrangements."
Speaking of the words "other arrangements," Long Tingyun's eyes flashed a cold light. He paused for a moment before adding, "Then, even if we send more people, it won't be enough."
Everyone looked at each other.
Hu Saihei sneered: "In short, it's a sure loss."
Long Tingyun ignored him and turned to Wu Lun and said, "Let's wait and see. But, is the boss really not going to release that person?"
When mentioning "that person", both Ulun and Husaihei showed a hint of hesitation on their faces.
Of course, the Houthis are more obviously unhappy.
He said coldly, "Military Advisor, don't forget that man is going to betray us. You have repeatedly tried to let him go. What exactly do you want to do?"
Military Advisor Long Tingyun still ignored him and only said to Wu Lun: "Boss, we have already agreed before. We also have an agreement with that person. Breaking your promise is not a good thing for you, Boss."
“…”
"In the future, how will you lead the troops here?"
“…”
"How can we cooperate with our master?"
Wu Lun looked at Long Tingyun, thought for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Don't worry, Military Advisor. We've already cooperated. Why would you say you're breaking your promise? I've always been sincere."
"That--"
"Let's do this."
Wu Lun said, "Let's see what happens tonight. If things go well tonight, I will release that person and will never embarrass you, Military Advisor. How do you think?"
Long Tingyun frowned slightly.
After thinking for a while, he could only sigh and said, "Okay. Let's wait for the news."
After saying that, he walked to the door again and looked at the dark night sky outside. The stars were dotted all over the place, as if countless eyes were looking at them, but he didn't know how the situation would develop under the same gaze.

The cold wind howled, and soon carried away the strong smell of blood from the wasteland.
However, the blood has already soaked into the snow and the sand beneath it. The crimson color cannot be erased. Who knows what kind of flowers will bloom in this wasteland next year after being soaked in such blood.
The yellow cloth wall was still standing, and a large bonfire was burning in the middle.
However, the person sitting inside was no longer Nan Yan.
Because at this time, the carriage had been repaired, but it was too late, and after the previous battle, everyone was a little tired, so Zhu Feng ordered them to rest on the spot.
He took Nan Yan and rested in the carriage.
As for the guards, except those who were patrolling and guarding the surrounding area, the others stayed inside the yellow cloth wall to rest.
The bodies of the killed bandits and the wild wolves were piled on one side.
The surviving captives had their hands tied behind their backs and were tied not far from the carriage. Several guards were walking back and forth to watch over them.
These people were all dejected.
There was only one person, his face did not show any depressed expression, but his eyes were flickering slightly in the dark light. He moved his body very cautiously, little by little, towards the carriage.
Faintly, one could even hear the sounds from the carriage.
Suddenly, there was a sound of unfolding a leather mattress.
There was another soft sound, and a shadow could be seen on the car window. Someone spread out a blanket and covered someone else with it.
It's the emperor.
Soon, the imperial concubine's voice was heard, as if she was acting coquettishly: "Your Majesty, I really don't need it anymore."
"No, it'll be cold!"
“…”
"Your body is weak to begin with, you can't catch a cold. Besides, the baby in your belly can't catch a cold either."
"I'm not that weak. Besides, I'm really hot right now. If you don't believe me, feel my hand."
The window reflected another person raising a delicate hand, and another broad hand reaching out to hold her.
After a pause, he reluctantly said, "You don't have to cover yourself with this blanket, but you can't cover yourself with the one underneath. If you catch a cold now, it will be difficult to deal with without medical care or medicine."
"All right."
The two of them sat together quietly for a while.
The imperial concubine's voice rang out again: "By the way, why did the emperor think of following me to Bailong City tonight?"
"You still say that?"
“…”
"If I hadn't come with you, do you really think you could have reached White Dragon City safely?"
"But before, didn't the emperor disagree with my going to Bailong City?"
"Do you think I should agree?"
The emperor sneered, then said, "Not to mention that such a place is completely outside the court's jurisdiction. The fact that you encountered bandits on your way here proves that it's not safe at all."
“…”
"You insisted on going there to take care of the baby."
“…”
"If he hadn't secretly told me—"
Having said this, he seemed to realize something and stopped talking before he finished.
The bandits sitting on the ground were all in a daze, some of them had even begun to doze off. Only one of them had a slight flicker in his eyes, and he held his breath even more, listening carefully to the sounds in the carriage.
"Anyway,"
The emperor continued, "You are lucky to be saved this time!"
