Philip's naked humiliation made deli's body tremble uncontrollably. She felt a fire burning in her heart.
Fear and shame, two complex emotions intertwined. Finally, deli looked up at Philip and said, "Mr. Philip, are you going to kill us?"
Philip did not speak.
Dali tried to calm herself down for a moment... A strange idea suddenly came into her mind: maybe, when facing the unreasonable general 250, her words and strategies had no effect. After all, she could not reason with barbarians.
But this Philip is from the civilized world! He should have concerns and will not do things regardless of the consequences.
"If you decide to kill us, then please!" Dali tried to make her voice sound cold and calm: "but don't forget, today, when your butcher's knife falls, the first thing you have to do when you go back is to rebel immediately! Against the whole empire with the power of one province! I believe that even if the tulip family is strong, in the end, you are just the next northwest army! "
Philip laughed.
He thought the girl in front of him was really something. Although she looks a little scared, a little scared, she can still keep calm and say these words. And... As a young boy, he almost let himself be deceived by his first intrigue, which is quite good.
"Well, general Longbottom, put away your knife. It will frighten the lady." Philip's words. It was a relief to miss daily. But the next moment, Philip's later words, let her just put down the heart again.
"But, Miss Dali, I think you should know why I'm here... I don't like to see blood very much, but I won't be soft hearted when I need to kill people."
Philip went to the three prisoners kneeling on the ground and only looked at them. He said coldly, "they are the three runaway slaves who ran out of giliat? Hum... Miss Dali, you did a good job this time. "
When it came to this, daili was quite straightforward. Since she couldn't escape, she didn't hesitate. She explained the whole thing very simply.
Philip listened quietly. Almost as he expected: "well, so the garrison officers in big ear city are also paid by you? Well, that's good. I can think of this way of being a slave in giliat
But Philip has another question, that is, even if he sneaks into giliat city. But the production process there is divided into several flow lines. According to the information, each of these three people has mixed in different procedures in a few months. In this way, it is really possible to piece together a complete process technology... But no matter whether it is gunpowder or not. It's a broomstick. They are extremely complicated things. It can be said that ordinary people don't understand even if they tell them.
"These three people are all magic talents cultivated in the family... They are all qualified as magic apprentices." Dali was honest.
Philip raised his eyebrows and said, "hum, you are really bold! Actually sent three precious magic apprentices to disguise as humble slave prisoners. Get into our base camp. "
That's it. A little more.
Deli thought about it and said, "Mr. Phillip. In this matter, I give up. These three people, I can give them to you, and your secret will not be disclosed. But I'd like to warn you that it's no use killing me here. It can only lead to the end of your Duke! Civilized people should follow the rules of civilized people's game. "
Philip laughed: "Oh? What do you mean by the rules of civilization? "
"Let me go back with the princess." When Miss Dailey said this, she took it easy: "we are just two women, and it's no good killing us. Besides, I think the Duke doesn't want to be charged with murdering the princess and the princess. And... I promise, I didn't copy your secret. If you don't believe it, you can search yourself. "
As she spoke, she opened her arms. This action is indeed a bit tempting. The girl's full body, wrapped in a long skirt, rockery, her expression of being at your disposal.
But Philip just laughed: "Miss Dali, I'm sure you didn't copy it. This kind of secret, copy out, will only increase the possibility of leakage! If you want to get our weapon secrets, you just want to improve your strength. However, if the secrets are leaked out and everyone on the mainland knows about them, they will be worthless. Don't worry, I won't let you be searched. "
"Then let me and the princess go back." Daili said faintly: "this time, I admit defeat. It's common for two families to win or lose. Mr. Phillip, you are not going to start an all-out war just for one friction, are you
Phillip was smiling: "yes, any family struggle has its own history. Full of compromise and tolerance. If a full-scale war were launched in one friction, all the major families on the mainland would have been killed. But miss Dailey, why should I let you go back? "
Dali opened her mouth: "you..."
"I believe you didn't transcribe it, but I think you should have recited the secret. Miss Dali, do you think I'm a fool? If I were you, I would have killed these three guys! " Philip sneered: "I believe that the legendary talented Miss Dali is not only accomplished in art! I think that since you can cultivate your own magic talents in your family, Miss Dali, you should also have some attainments in the field of magic! The recipes and secrets of those magic weapons. Ordinary people can't understand it even if they read it. But you, for a man of great attainments in the field of magic. You must have recited it, haven't you? "
Dali turned pale.
Philip said coldly: "you deliberately left these three alive people on the road. You have thought about it for a long time. It is very likely that we will catch up with them all the way. You have long thought that in the northwest, you can't escape! If we catch up. You just give up and give us three living mouths. And then say a few words, pat your noble ass, you can walk away, right? Anyway, as long as the secret is recovered, we have no reason to kill you and the noble princess! This is your last resort to miss Dali. If I am wrong, please point it out? "
Deli's voice is lost.
What Philip said. Word by word, like a sword, pierced in her heart! I have to admit, Philip guessed very correctly!
It's true that Dali has been taught magic since she was a child. She also has considerable knowledge of magic. Just because of her talent, she can't learn magic, but she has acquired the basic attainments of a magic apprentice.
So, when the three brought the secret back. The first time she asked out all the formula, the formula is already in her mind! Keep these three people and take them on the road. She's as good as Philip said. Most of them will be chased by the other party, but due to their own identity, as long as they hand over the person at that time, the other party will never dare to really kill themselves. And I don't care about myself. Can also take the mind has completely mastered the secret formula, swagger away!
With a light mocking smile, Philip looked at the pale daili: "dear princess, since I have guessed, do you think I will let you go back?"
With that, Philip had already ordered in a low voice: "come on! Please get miss Dali into the carriage and then. Please two ladies, come back to Loulan city with us
"You..." Dali was really scared: "Philip! Do you think it can be kept secret when you detain the princess and the princess? "
Philip laughed. "I didn't think I could keep it secret."
With that, as soon as he waved his hand, some soldiers rushed up and, as a matter of course, thrust Dali into the carriage. Close the door. There are two more soldiers. He got into the driver's seat and drove the carriage. Turn around and go back to Loulan city.
Daili in the car was pale, while Princess Louise beside her looked calm at the moment, and just sighed softly: "daili..."
"What?" Dali replied reluctantly.
"I think of my brother, Chen, who once said a word to me."
"What's that?"
Princess Louise said faintly: "he once said to me: in this world, there are some games that only men can play. Women had better not participate in them."
With these words, the princess simply leaned back in the cushion, closed her eyes, and did not look at daili at all.
Looking at the carriage back to Loulan city under the close protection of cavalry, Philip's face became gloomy gradually. Next to him, Longbottom came over and said, "Philip, what should I do now?"
"Well?"
"Hey, don't think I'm a fool!" Longbottom approached and said in a low voice, "although I'm more courageous, I know what's at stake! How long do you think we can hold on to the detention of a princess and a princess once it's exposed? "
Philip gave a wry smile: "Longbottom, do you know? If the enemy I face is very smart or very stupid, I am not afraid. I'm only afraid of one kind of person... "
Huh?
Longbottom was puzzled. Not afraid of stupid enemies, of course, it's easy to understand. The more stupid the enemy is, the easier it is to deal with. But why is the enemy who is not afraid of intelligence?
"Because really smart enemies often leave some leeway for things! I won't do it all! In this way, even if we end up in a stalemate, we won't lose both sides. That's what smart people do. But... I'm afraid of one kind of person. "
"Which one?"
Philip grinned bitterly: "it's a girl like Dali! This kind of person, a little clever, but also a little stupid. It's smarter than a really stupid person, but it's a little dumber than a really smart person. It's only a second rate IQ, but you make serious mistakes on key issues, and eventually you will drag yourself and the enemy into hell together! "
He looked at Philip and patted the general on the shoulder: "if this chick doesn't have the recipe in her head. Or she didn't know magic. So this formula, ordinary people will not be able to! But she was silly, relying on her identity, recited the formula in her heart. As a result, I didn't want to catch her, but I had to catch her back! That's stupid! Because she did not understand that politics is a game of compromise! Her stupid way of doing things without leaving any room has driven her and us to a dead end! "
After that, Philip deliberately pulled lombarton behind the army. Seeing that there was no one around, Philip lowered his voice and said to lombarton in a low voice: "general, now I want to say a few words to you. These words are not official orders, just words between colleagues." Longbottom's eyes flashed: "you say it." Philip's face was gloomy, but his tone was more solemn than ever: "I can tell you, general, we are in big trouble this time! This damned woman, because of her cleverness, is likely to push both the enemy and our families to the edge of the cliff! So, although the Duchess is not at home now and we can't get any orders and instructions from him, I personally have a little suggestion for you Philip said this, deliberately pause for a while, and then he looked into Longbottom's eyes, gritted his teeth, and said a word that made them jump“ Prepare for the war Longbarton's eye muscles jump, looking at Philip, he from the eyes of this weak young man, see only decisive! Philip said in a deep voice: "after you go back, I ask you to gather the family's army immediately and prepare for the war. I will also deploy related materials. At the same time, we will increase the defense force for our military fortress in the east line, and all the family's army will be first-class combat readiness..." the two men were silent. After a long time, Philip looked at the sky and sighed, "I hope our preparations don't really come in handy. Because now is not the time at all. "
