Dinner, a thintall and straightmiddle-aged manentered the City Lordmansion.
晚饭时分,一名清瘦挺拔的中年男子走进了城主府。Ji Ruihas prepared the food and winein the leaninghall, thismanletsaccompanygets downto wait, alonesat the Ji Ruiopposite, cupped one hand in the other across the chestto salute, said: „City Lord Ji, does not seefor a long time.”纪瑞已经在偏厅里准备好了酒菜,这男人让随从都下去候着,独自坐到了纪瑞对面,拱手施礼,道:“纪城主,好久不见。”Ji Ruismiles, returns salute saying: „Does Commander Lu, have been well since last meeting?”纪瑞满脸笑容,还礼道:“卢将军,别来无恙?”Commander Lusmiled, butwas only the corners of the mouthmoved, even ifwerehas smiled, said: „Qianyepublicizedin the City Lordmansionhas visited, how can Ibe well?”卢将军笑了笑,不过只是嘴角动了下,就算是笑过了,道:“千夜都公开在城主府登门了,我怎能无恙?”Ji Ruisighed, lets go saying: „ThismatterIdo not havemeans! Youthink,hehas not only burntmylumbering area\;Several thousandpeoplesend, is living is also less than50%people. Made intolike this, howIalsoinsisted, can only admit defeat! ThisSouth Green Citywhole cityfamily members, mayalsoprobablyeat meal!”纪瑞叹了口气,摊手道:“这事我也没办法啊!你想想,他不光烧了我的伐木场\;几千人派过去,活着回来的还不到一半人。都打成这样了,我还怎么坚持,只能认输啊!这南青城满城老小,可还要吃饭哪!”Ji Ruisaidproceeds from the bottom of one's heart, soonhas wept simply with loud noise, butCommander Luremains unmoved, butsaid: „Couldn't thatlumbering areacomplete?”纪瑞说得发自肺腑,简直就快要声泪俱下了,可是卢将军不为所动,只是道:“那伐木场是办不成了?”Ji Ruireceives the whole faceto be depressedimmediately, sternsay/way: „Howcan? Canbecome, naturallycanbecome! Qianyethiscoming, isdiscusses the condition. HewiththeseNative Racenotanythingconnections, butarrives at the same placeexactly. After this matter, he will again not insert the matter of viciousforest, ourlumbering areascanreconstructimmediately. Thatlarge stock of goods that youwant, can certainlysucceed in obtaining! Butjustneedswait.”纪瑞立刻收了满脸沮丧,正色道:“怎么会?能成,当然能成!千夜这次过来,就是来谈条件的。他和那些原生种族没什么瓜葛,只是恰好走到一起而已。此事之后,他就不会再插手黑森林之事,我们的伐木场立刻就能重建。您要的那批货,一定能到手!只不过只不过需要等一等。”Commander Luis tapping the tabletopwith the finger, saidslowly: The goods that „City Lord, wewantnowwere also many were the same: Qianye.”卢将军用手指轻敲着桌面,缓缓地说:“城主,现在我们要的货又多了一样:千夜。”Ji Ruiridicules, „Commander Lu, arrived atNeutral Ground, gets richisfirst. The friendlinesscanbecome wealthy, did yousay? Moreover, thisQianye”纪瑞讪笑,“卢将军,都到了中立之地,发财才是第一位的。和气才能生财,您说是不是?再者说,这个千夜”Hisbodyleans forward, has loweredsound, looked atall around, smallsound said: „Iheard,in the past the military headquartershave spent, if the bigstrengthhas not takenQianye, makinghimrun awayNeutral Ground. Youthink that isinempire, the military headquarterstakeshimnot to have the means. Hereweare weak, whymakesthistrouble?”
他身体前倾,压低了声音,看了看四周,小声道:“我听说,当年军部花了若大的力气都没拿下千夜,让他逃到了中立之地。您想想,那还是在帝国本土,军部都拿他没办法。在这里我们势单力孤,何必惹这个麻烦?”Commander Luis false smile, coldlysaid/tunnel: „SirCity Lordis not a little clear, at that timein the Zhao Cliquedefense area, manyimpeded. The military headquartershave scruplesare not being willingto get angrywithZhao Clique, thisincautiouslyran awaybyQianye. NowinNeutral Ground, althoughweare every few, butQianyeisall alone. Only if, SirCity Lorddoes have a mindto helphim?”卢将军皮笑肉不笑,冷冷地道:“有一点城主大人还不清楚,当时是在赵阀防区,有诸多掣肘。军部顾忌着不愿与赵阀翻脸,这才一不小心被千夜逃了出去。现在在中立之地,虽然我们人手少,可千夜更是孤身一人。除非,城主大人有心帮他?”On the Ji Ruifacechanges colorquickly, beckons with the handto sayagain and again: „Howpossible? Iagainamstupid, is impossibleto put the Empire Military Headquarterbigcustomernot to wantlike this, buthelpsthatnot have a bottomlessboy. Just, Ispoke frankly how manyexpertsCommander Luthistimeled, canhave confidenceto takeQianye? ThatQianyestrengthmayabovecultivation base. In my opinion, perhapshestudiedsometypeto hide the cultivation basemethodalsoperhaps. In brief, cannotbelittlehim.”纪瑞脸上倏地变色,连连摆手道:“怎么可能?我再是愚笨,也不可能放着帝**部这样的大主顾不要,而去帮那个无根无底的小子。只不过,恕我直言,卢将军此次带了多少高手,可有把握拿下千夜?那千夜战力可远在修为之上。依我看,或许他修习了某种可以隐藏修为的法门也说不定。总而言之,千万不能小觑了他。”Commander Luis confident, said: „To takehimto be also easynot to be easy, does not need to slaughterdirectly. Naturally, in the middle ofthisalsoneedsSirCity Lordto help.”卢将军胸有成竹,道:“想要拿下他也容易也不容易,不必非要正面厮杀。当然,这当中还需要城主大人帮助。”„Andmentionedlistens, so long asmyJi can help, decideddoes not dareto decline.”
“且说来听听,只要我纪某能够帮得上忙,定不敢推辞。”„Good! On your words. ThisQianyefallsin the hand of myLu Saobei, calculates that hehas bad luck!”Commander Lusmilesgloomy, said: „Myplanisthis, Qianyewantsto move awaythatbatch of Perpetual Dynamo Sail, mustuselarge-scalefloats the spatialspaceshipnot to be possible. ThisThis Commanderhas broughtthreeempirebrand new warship. At the appointed timeIambushin the outer space, onlywaits forhisairshipto set sail, hestrikesto fallinspatialLieutenant General! When the time comeshehas not diedinship, voidis unable to survive.”
“好!就等您这句话。此次千夜落在我卢扫北的手中,算他倒霉!”卢将军阴沉一笑,道:“我的计划是这样,千夜想要运走那批动力帆,非得动用大型浮空飞船不可。此次本将军带来了三艘帝国新锐战舰。到时我埋伏在外空,只等他飞艇起航,就在空中将他击坠!到时候他就算没死在船里,虚空中也无法存活。”
A Ji Ruistartled, carefulconsiderationthinksfeasible, immediatelyinheartcontradiction.纪瑞一惊,仔细思量却又觉得可行,当下心中矛盾。
The Lu Saobeifaint smilevisitshim, said: „City Lord Ji, myplanmaytellyou. MoreoverQianyeappearsin the South Green Citynewshas fed in the empire. Ifthismatterdivulged a secret, City Lordyoucannot be inseparable from.”卢扫北似笑非笑地看着他,道:“纪城主,我的计划可都跟你说了。而且千夜出现在南青城的消息已经传回帝国。这件事如果走漏了风声,城主你可是脱不了干系。”„Howcan? MyJi'smouth is always strictest!”Ji Ruistrikes one's chesthastily the guarantee, thenstacksto smile obsequiously, asks: „Thismatter, ifhas become, Commander Luthinks that will rise highsoon, at the appointed timetheselumberbusiness”
“怎么会?我纪某的嘴一向是最严的!”纪瑞连忙拍胸脯保证,然后又堆起谄笑,问道:“这事若是成了,卢将军想必会指日高升,到时那些木材生意”„So long ashas killedQianye, allsouthernwildlumberbusinessareyour.”
“只要杀了千夜,所有南荒的木材生意都是你的。”Ji Ruigreat happiness. Hetoldimmediately the servantprepares the dance, andpreparesto call the prettiestseveralsinging girls. HoweverLu Saobeidoes not have the interest, waves, sets outto say goodbye, said that and otherQianyegave the head, enjoysagain not lately.纪瑞大喜。他当即吩咐下人准备歌舞,并且准备把最貌美的几个歌姬叫出来。然而卢扫北却毫无兴趣,挥一挥手,起身告辞,言道等千夜授首,再来享用不迟。Ji Ruiseesto detainfruitless, mustsend out the City LordmansionLu Saobeipersonally. Waits for the Lu Saobeiprivate carto go far away, the earnestsmiling face on hisfacedivergesimmediately, lightsnort/hum, talked to oneself: „TrivialRank 15fellow, daresto be so rampant!”纪瑞见挽留无果,只得亲自将卢扫北送出城主府。等卢扫北的座驾远去,他脸上的热切笑容顿时散去,轻哼一声,自语道:“区区十五级的家伙,也敢这么嚣张!”Hemeditates the moment, sideFanshenreturns home. Sinks into the ponder, whatthinksas for the heart is anything, nobodyknows.
他凝思片刻,方返身回府。一路陷于沉思,至于心中想的是什么,无人知晓。Lu Saobeioff-road vehicleskices, stopsbefore the smallinn in South Green Cityedge. The innis very worn-out, probablyalreadybleaklydeclinedappearance, but after passing through the gate, actuallydifferent, severalfacial expressionvaliantsoldiersdefendin the entrance, is tightly guarded.卢扫北的越野车一路疾行,在南青城边缘的一间小客栈前停下。客栈十分破旧,好像早已萧条败落了的样子,但是进门后却别有洞天,数名神情彪悍的战士守在门口,戒备森严。
The innhad been modified, in the courtyard the commoditypiles up, eachcorner and shelterwere vigilant that exceptionallyhas arranged the alarm apparatus. Just likewas transformed a secretfoothold.
客栈内部已经被改动过,院落里物资堆积如山,各个角落和隐蔽所在都警惕异常地布置了警报装置。俨然被改造成了一处秘密据点。Lu Saobeientered the inn, instantlytold: „By the top gradeconfidential report, presentsQianyein the South Green Citynewspasses on, asking the military headquartersto reinforce.”卢扫北进了客栈,即刻吩咐:“以特级密报,将千夜出现在南青城的消息传回去,请军部增援。”„Yes, Commander!”Receives an orderasLieutenant Colonel of assistant, wantsto handle.
“是,将军!”作为助手的中校领命,就欲去办理。„wait a moment!”Lu Saobeistopped by calling outhim, meditatesmoment, said: „This matteris important, yousendto deliver the newsinthreepeople, in turndepart. Goes to the imperial capital, anothertwogo toExceed LandandvoidFloating Landrespectively. Delivers totheremilitary headquartersfoothold the news, is returned to the military headquartersbythemagain.”
“等一下!”卢扫北叫住了他,凝思片刻,道:“此事事关重大,你派在三个人去送消息,分批出发。一个前往帝都,另外两个分别前往越陆和虚空浮陆。把消息送到那里的军部据点,再由他们送回军部。”
The Lieutenant Colonelsoseriousarrangement, salutedrarelyimmediately, managesin a hurry.中校罕见如此郑重的布置,当下行了礼,匆匆去办。Inthis momentLu Saobeiheartis more stable, calledMajor General, told: „Preparesourwarship, waits formyorder, momentarilydepart.”
此刻卢扫北心中才安定一些,又叫一名少将,吩咐道:“把我们的战舰都准备好,等候我的命令,随时出发。”
After leaving the City Lordmansion, Qianyearrives atNight Cloud Building, saw that Qing Yueis sittingin the great hall, an uneasy whether sitting or standingappearance.
离开城主府后,千夜又到云宵楼,看到青月正在大堂坐着,一副坐立不安的样子。
Before enteringNight Cloud Building, Qianyeobservedtoabout, sawon the street in a business areato be manymanyfacial expressionvaliantpeople, pretended the safeto stroll. Ingreat hall, 45peopleare examining merchandise, butlooked that theirlookshave not placedon the cargobasically, knows that is putting on an act.
走进云宵楼前,千夜向左右观察了一番,见街面上多了许多神情彪悍的人,装作无事似地闲逛。在大堂内,也有45人在看货,不过看他们的眼神基本没放在货物上,就知道不过是在装装样子。TheseareGaohusoldiers, even ifcancamouflage, but the bodyhas transformed the tracehides the truth fromcarefullysuch asQianye of needle.
这些都是高胡战士,纵然能够伪装,可是身上改造过的痕迹瞒不过心细如针的千夜。Qianyetook a stepto enter the great hall, Qing Yuewelcomedimmediately, appeared pleasantly surprised, said: „Suchquicklycame back?”千夜举步走进大堂,青月立刻迎了上来,显得又惊又喜,道:“这么快就回来了?”„What's wrong, feared that Ican't leave the City Lordmansion?”Qianyeasked.
“怎么,怕我出不了城主府?”千夜问。„A little. Howeveryoucanclash?”
“有点。不过你怎么也能冲出来的吧?”„Thatisnatural, Ji Ruicould not retainme. Theseareyourclansman, preparesto aid?”
“那是自然,纪瑞还留不住我。这些都是你的族人,准备接应的?”
The Qing Yueconfidentnod, „Iam underprepared, only to callthesepeople. Ifmustattack the City Lordmansionnot to hope, so long asyouclash, wekillto go out of town should together the issuenot to be big.”青月坦然点头,“我准备不足,只能召集这些人。如果要进攻城主府没有希望,但是只要你冲出来,我们一起杀出城去应该问题不大。”Qianyeshows a faint smile, said: „Idied, weren't youare happen to free?”千夜微微一笑,道:“我死了,你不是正好自由了?”Qing Yuesticks out chest, at this moment, shelooks atto the Qianyeeye, said: „Iwantis notfree, butis the stabilitylife of clansman. Only thendepends uponyoursupport, Icandefeat the match in clan, unifiesGaohu. Alsoonly theninyourNorthern Land, myclansmancantogether the place of multiplicationsurvival. NowGaohu Personancestral groundis narrow and smallandbarren, cannot supportthat manyGaohu Person. Thereforegrownsoldiersmostlymustleaveancestral ground, wanders around, takes the mercenary soldierasto live. This is forced, is notourGaohu Personlikesmercenary soldier, whenis in a precarious state!”青月挺起胸膛,这一刻,她直直望向的千夜眼睛,道:“我要的不是自由,而是族人的安定生活。只有依靠你的支持,我才能够击败族中的对手,统一高胡。也只有在你的北陆,我的族人才能得到一块繁衍生存之地。现在高胡人的祖地狭小且贫瘠,根本养不活那么多的高胡人。所以成年战士大多要离开祖地,四处流浪,以佣兵为生。这是被迫,并不是我们高胡人喜欢当朝不保夕的佣兵!”Qianyeshows a faint smile, is looking pensive typical: „It seems likewe needed to chat the condition. Then, whatyouwant, what can yougiveme?”千夜微微一笑,若有所思地道:“看来我们有必要重新谈谈条件了。说吧,你想要什么,你又能给我什么?”„Iwantlandto takeGaohu Personnewancestral ground. Thisland, Ihope that cansupport500,000people. As the repayment, allGaohu Personbecomeyourcitizens, fights bravelyfor the state that youare goingto establish, did not fear the sacrifice. In addition, Iam willingto doanymatterforyou, does not have the condition, has not limited, anything!”
“我想要一块土地作为高胡人新的祖地。这块土地,我希望能够养活500000人。作为回报,所有的高胡人都将成为你的领民,为你将要建立的国度奋战,不畏牺牲。除此之外,我愿意为你做任何事,没有条件,没有限制,什么都可以!”„Wait/Etc., youare calmfirst.”Qianyehas tostopQing Yue, otherwisehas not known that shewill sayanything. „Inmyimpression, the Gaohu Personquantityare not as if many. Entireclannotover100,000people?”
“等等,你先冷静一下。”千夜不得不止住青月,不然还不知道她会说出什么来。“我印象中,高胡人似乎数量不多。全族不超过100000人吧?”„About80,000people, someclansmenlost the contact. Ifoveroneyear, wethink that theydied.” The Qing Yuefacial expressionis somewhat low-spirited. Asmercenary soldier of being in a precarious state, some timedoes not have the message, died in battlebasically.
“大约80000人,有些族人失去了联系。如果超过一年,我们会认为他们已经死了。”青月的神情有些黯然。身为朝不保夕的佣兵,一段时间没有音讯,基本就是战死了。„What youwanttomeis500,000people of lands.”
“可是你向我要的是500000人的土地。”Qing Yueraised the head, on the smallfacepainandinterweavessorrowfully, said: „OurGaohu Personcanlivevery much, canlive. In the clanteenage boys and girlswill completemultiplicationdescendant'smissionbeforegrown, thenexitsto be the mercenary soldier. If notthis, perhapsdid not have my clan of Godly Generallevelpowerhousealreadyto perish.”青月抬头,小脸上痛苦与悲哀交织,说:“我们高胡人很能生,非常能生。族中少男少女在成年之前就会完成繁衍后代的任务,然后才出去当佣兵。如果不是这样,恐怕没有神将级强者的我族早就灭亡了。”Qianyehearsto be startled, does not haveto sayagain.千夜听得一怔,再无下言。SmallZhujiis mindless, askedat the scene: „Did Elder SisterQing Yuelivemanylittle fellows?”
只是小朱姬没心没肺的,当场就问:“那青月姐姐是生了好多小家伙吗?”Qing Yuefaceonered, saidin a low voice: „Ido not have. Iveryslightlyam selected asWar Lady, will protectpowerhousetraining of clansmanas the future. The promotionstrengthisImost importantmission, multiplicationdescendantthatis the matter of ordinaryclansman. Therefore, ifyouhave the need, myIdo not have the issue.”青月脸一红,低声说:“我没有。我很小就被选为战女,作为未来守护族人的强者培养。提升战力才是我最重要的使命,繁衍后代那是普通族人的事。所以,如果您有需要,我我没有问题。”Qianyehurriesto coughtwo, has not thought that the topicchanged to thisdirectiondirectly. Howeverhewill not be broughteasilyleaning , to continue to ask: „Youhave not explained500,000people of issues.”千夜赶紧咳嗽两声,没想到话题直接转到了这个方向上。不过他也不会那么轻易被带偏,继续问:“你还没有说明白500000人的问题。”„OurGaohu Personfiveyears old canmultiply, tenyears old aregrown. Ifthere is an enoughfood, waterandminerals, thenin20years the clansmanquantitywill achieveseveral hundred thousandpeople. At that time, youwill have a huge quantity ofelitearmy.”
“我们高胡人五岁就能繁衍,十岁即是成年。如果有足够的食物,水和矿产,那么20年内族人数量就会达到几十万人。到那个时候,您将会拥有一支数量庞大的精锐军队。”Qianyeremains unmoved, said: „Later? Thislandcannot accommodate you time, what to do?”千夜不为所动,道:“以后呢?这块土地容不下你们的时候,又怎么办?”„Wewill fightforyou, received exchange for the newlandwith the military exploit. In the war, the quantity of clansmanwill also reduce.”
“我们会为您战斗,用军功换取新的土地。战争中,族人的数量也会减少。”„Good, Ipromiseyou.”
“好,我答应你。”PS: Occasionallyhas leisure the flaw, has made a selected topicto the nextbook, has placedin the slightlyletterpublicnumber, having the interestcanlook atYYBBWC.
