What Wu Lai said was right. Hatra was watching Ye Jianwu. At this moment, he was sitting in the command room, which was located on the second floor of the huge island-like building on the deck, about 200 steps away from Ye Jianwu and Wu Lai.

The distance of about two hundred steps was naturally not enough for Hatra to hear the conversation between the two, but Hatra miraculously saw that Wu Lai and Ye Renwu were "very intimate".

This reminded him of something Wu Lai had said before.

Is Ye Jianwu really Wu Lai's woman? Hatra frowned.

"Eat quickly, okay? Don't dawdle!" The guard's urging interrupted Hatra's thoughts. After turning his head and glaring at the guard, Hatra quickened his chewing speed.

I have to leave here alive, I must, I must... he thought to himself while eating.

On the deck, Wu Lai sighed softly and said to Ye Jianwu: "Please forgive my gaffe. Apparently I haven't understood what war is all about yet, so I feel..."

"Let's talk about business." Ye Renwu interrupted Wu Lai.

…

Before dawn, Lun Lu went out again carrying a long wooden stick, and hurried to the gathering point at the city gate. He waited for a while before he heard the loud shouts of the cooks of the Tianjuan Army.

"Let's eat! Let's eat! Line up! Line up!" they shouted.

While waiting in line, Lun Lu casually glanced around. If it were in the past, he would definitely just stare at those big pots and would not be as "leisurely" as he is now.

He was not hungry. He had eaten a piece of bread before going out. At this moment, there was a piece of dried meat half the size of a fist in the small cloth bag tucked into his belt. It was a little salty but very filling. Just this piece was enough to keep him from being hungry for the whole day.

A piece of meat jerky like this costs five yuan, and a flatbread costs even more, eleven yuan.

If they give me money again today, I'd better not give up. They work so hard and their work is life-threatening - Lun Lu thought as he received his meal...

…

This is a long stretch of ridges, with trees, grass, flowers, birds and animals...

Pu Tong was lying in the grass outside the ridge.

The grass was very tall and dense, like a reed marsh, completely shielding Pu Tong and the more than 200 people around him...

Feeling his eyelids getting heavier, Pu Tong took out a piece of cigarette from his arms, gestured seriously, and broke the cigarette, which was not much longer than the tip of his finger, into two pieces. After carefully hiding the slightly longer piece back in his arms, he put the other piece into his mouth and started chewing.

The mellow and spicy taste immediately drove away his sleepiness...

But he was still very tired. He had been traveling from last night until just now, crossing mountains and rivers for so long that the bronze man was probably about to fall apart.

"General, you should take a nap. I'll call you if anything happens later." The orderly lying next to Pu Tong said in a low voice.

Pu Tong shook his head and chewed faster.

After a while, the fourth battalion commander of the fifth regiment came up and said, "General."

"Why do you come to me instead of staying where you are?" Pu Tong frowned.

"The guy who helped us lead people into the city is here. You said last night that if this guy comes, you should thank him in person." said the fourth battalion commander.

"The one called Lun Lu?" Pu Tong was stunned.

"Yes, a very smart boy." The fourth battalion commander replied quickly.

"Hurry, hurry, bring him here. There are so many of us hiding in his house, we should at least thank him." Pu Tong said.

"Yes." The fourth battalion commander nodded in agreement, then hunched over and walked away quickly...

…

"You have decorated this place very well." After sitting down, Ye Renwu glanced around. This cabin looked like a small living room. Although the furnishings were simple, the reliefs on the wall panels were lifelike, and you could tell at a glance that they were made by skilled craftsmen.

"Thank you for the compliment. You know, I like these." Wu Lai smiled slightly and sat opposite Ye Renwu.

A maid walked in quickly and placed a large plate of wine, fruit and food on the large table between the two of them.

After the maid stepped aside, Ye Renwu calmed down and said, "High Priest Wu Lai..."

"Wait, just call me by my name. I believe you must feel uncomfortable calling me 'High Priest'." Wu Lai waved his hand to stop Ye Renwu.

Ye Jianwu hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly: "Okay, Wu Lai, let's talk about business."

"Okay." Wu Lai nodded, "I'll be direct. I hope you can return Menia immediately."

"Woole, do you think that in Helen's mind, Hatra is worth one Menia?" asked Ye Renwu.

"Hatra is certainly not worth one Menia, but the Avram family is." Wu Lai said, "Ye Blade Dance, I think you should know better than me what the Avram family means to the Petra family."

Ye Renwu was silent. Wu Lai was right. Hatra himself might not be worth exchanging for Menia, but the Avram family was worth at least half of Tianjuan. For more than 500 years, if the Petra family did not have the Avram family as a solid and powerful ally, there would be no Tianjuan country today.

"Wulai, do you think the Avram family cares so much about Hatra?" A hint of sarcasm appeared on Ye Renwu's face.

"Maybe they don't care as much as I thought, but I guess not only the Avram family doesn't want to, but Helen also doesn't want to hear the news that her husband was killed by the Assyrians. Oh, no, parading him through the streets from time to time would seem to be more embarrassing for the Avram family and Helen than killing him directly, right? Night Blade Dance?" Wu Lai's mouth curled up into a sly smile.

"No." Ye Renwu frowned and shook his head. "Wulai, you are wrong. This will not have the effect you want. Hatra has been declared a traitor by me, Tianjuan, so..."

"Don't try this on me." Wu Lai sneered, "Night Blade Dance, do we need to go through all these twists and turns? If Hatra was really abandoned, you, Night Blade Dance, would not appear in Titania, and you would not risk your life to come to me."

Night Blade Dance fell silent again.

Seeing her like this, Wu Lai simply kept silent.

After a while, Ye Renwu sighed heavily and said, "Okay, the initiative is in your hands, but you have to know that I am only ordered to come to Assyria. I can decide on the deployment of troops to fight against Assyria, but I don't have the power to give up Menia."

"Really?" Wu Lai looked unconvinced.

Ye Renwu couldn't help but glared at Wu Lai: "Wu Lai, can you put away your pretense? Stop pretending, okay? Don't you know what kind of situation I'm in? Don't you know what I can and can't do?"

Wu Lai chuckled.

"Wu Lai, Menia, you have no choice but to attack head-on. To be honest, I originally wanted to exchange Titania for Hatra, but since you have already made arrangements, my plan cannot be realized. Fine, you can do whatever you want with me. The worst that can happen is that Hatra and I will die in Assyria together." Ye Renwu glanced at Wu Lai and said.

"It's Night Blade Dance as expected. Even now, he still wants to test me. I repeat, Titania is already in my pocket." Wu Lai said with a smile.

"You are clearly not sincere." Ye Renwu stood up in an instant, "Wu Lai, you might as well lock me up too, but I have to remind you that I am worthless!"

"Sit down!" Wu Lai suddenly shouted coldly. The shout was quite abrupt and scared both Ye Renwu and the maid.

After being frightened, Ye Renwu clenched his fist in anger, but after changing his mind, he had to sit back in grievance. It would be fine for him, but Hartra's life was still in the hands of the other party.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Wu Lai, if possible, please arrange for me to meet with Hatra immediately. I can't make the decision, but he can." Ye Renwu looked at Wu Lai.

"Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible." Wu Lai stood up slowly and pointed to the right bulkhead. "Behind the door is the bedroom I arranged for you. You've come a long way, so take a rest first. I have something to deal with. Bye bye. I'll host a banquet for you tonight."

Ye Renwu was stunned and was about to say something, but Wu Lai had already walked to the door with his maid.

"Okay, goodbye." Ye Jianwu said in her heart. She was confused now, because since she set foot on the Wulai, everything did not appear and develop as she had expected...

I have to sort it out carefully. Ye Renwu sighed softly and said to herself.

…

The night was very quiet, so quiet that it was a little creepy, at least that was how Lun Lu felt.

In fact, a very strict curfew has been implemented in Titania at night for many days, so the streets tonight are no different from the past, just as dark and lifeless.

Lun Lu leaned against the door, put one eye close to the crack and looked out, taking a bite of the bread in his hand from time to time, because only eating could slow down his heartbeat.

He was nervous, expectant, and anxious...

These days, he brought twenty-five people into the city and hid them in his home, which also meant that twenty-five guys who had joined the Tianjuan Army's woodcutting team with him stayed outside the city - whether they wanted to or not.

It was not difficult to do this, because Lun Lu knew which guys were lonely like him, and because the leader of the Tianjuan Army who led the woodcutting team only counted the heads of people, as long as there were not too many people. Of course, it was also because the personnel of the woodcutting team had never been really fixed...

Lun Lu knew that these twenty-five people came into the city to do something big, a very big thing.

Lun Lu also knew that it might be dangerous for him to stay in the city. The general who patted him on the shoulder and praised him also advised him not to go back to the city today, but Lun Lu was unwilling to do so because his mother and sister were in the city. Although he hadn't seen them for a long time, he knew they were there.

"Good boy, after we recapture Titania and you have met your mother and sister, come and serve as my orderly." The general said with a smile.

Lun Lu nodded happily. Although this general and his men were not as glamorous as the Tianjuan Army, they were Assyrians, which made him feel very close to them.

As the moonlight outside the door grew brighter and the scenery became clearer, Lun Lu became anxious. If there were no clouds blocking the moonlight, the twenty-five people might have been discovered by the sentries or patrol teams.

"God Amon, you must protect them." Lunlu said in his heart.

Then, there was a flash of light outside the door, like thunder or fire, and it instantly appeared at the end of Lun Lu's vision.

"South Gate..." Lun Lu just thought of this when he heard a series of loud rumbling noises...

…

"I protest!" Hatra raised his right hand and glanced coldly at Wu Lai who was looking at him.

"Protesting what?" Wu Lai frowned.

"What's going on?" Hartla slapped the table in front of him, causing the chains on his wrists to rattle.

"What's wrong? Is the table of poor quality? Or, are you not satisfied with the wine and meat prepared for you?" Wu Lai put down his wine glass and asked.

"Don't pretend to be ignorant when you know the truth!" Hartra slammed the table hard with his right palm.

Ye Renwu frowned and lowered her head. Wu Lai fulfilled his promise - he held a dinner to welcome her and also let her meet Hatra.

But the problem was that Wu Lai's arrangement was disgusting - he and Ye Renwu sat at the same table, and Hatra was given a small table by the wall. Although the portions and types of food and drinks were the same, it was more than ten steps away from the two of them. The table and chairs were much smaller than the ones they used, and his shackles were even connected to the table legs...

This is clearly telling Hatra: "Hey, you are a captive and a hostage. Not only are you not qualified to eat at the same table with me, but you must also eat two levels lower."

"Woole Grindo, if you dare, untie my shackles!" Hartla pointed at Wulai, "I want to duel with you."

"Let go? Still fighting?" Wu Lai laughed and asked, "Hatra, are you stupid?"

"You bastard! You have no guts!" Hatra spit fiercely, and his eyes fell on Night Blade Dance, "Night Blade Dance! Whose side are you on?"

Ye Renwu sighed in silence.

"That's enough. Stop making fun of me, okay?" Wu Lai laughed. "Hatra, don't be so vicious to Ye Renwu. She has begged for you today. You should thank her. At least, I have promised her to change you to a more comfortable cabin. I will change it after the banquet. Just be patient."

Hatra gnashed his teeth...

Ye Jianwu looked at Wu Lai with doubts in his eyes...
