A few days later... Well, to be precise, just three days later, Tang En and his group approached the area around the Renau River.

I have to say that the speed is amazing. If the noble negotiating team was asked to take this journey by themselves, it would probably take at least twice or even three times more time. Of course, if they really had a choice, they might not want to come so quickly...

But no matter what, the result was that they finally passed this journey of purgatory and approached the target end. At this moment, after just three days of fermentation, what should come finally came...

"Damn it! He actually said we were fake!"

"How can I go back?"

"The thief is too bullying people--"

After passing on, a pile of intelligence paper was finally dropped on the wooden pier beside the road. The already pale and bleak faces of the second prince and the members of the noble negotiating team around him became even more ugly.

The matter was very simple. Before the second prince returned to the southern territory to preside over the overall situation, the power of the eldest prince in Wang Ting Capital had taken the lead in attacking and informing the world. The general meaning was that the second prince and others had already died under the conspiracy of the gray-clothed army. They were very sad, and the gray-clothed army was very cunning. Because the other party not only harmed the second prince and his group, but also sent people to disguise themselves as the second prince and others. They may be rushing to the south now, intending to confuse the public and shake the stability of the empire.

This plan to remove firewood from the cauldron is not unviolent. The purpose is also very obvious, that is, even if the second prince and his group return to the south, their true identity will be suspected. Naturally, not many people are willing to believe what they say and what they give...

"Everyone." Tang En glanced at everyone in a fierce shout and scolded. His tone was faint. "The curse of insults cannot solve any problem. The first question now is, can you still pass through the Renau River normally?"

To be honest, it is not surprising that such a situation occurs. At least in Tang En's opinion, if he had been asked to be the eldest prince, even if he knew that his younger brother, the second prince would probably not die and would come back to shake his throne, he would choose to take the initiative. Even the methods would be more sinister than this...

Of course. Now that he said he died, this is just a problem that the second prince and others have to face, and it has nothing to do with Tang En. He only cares whether the second prince and others can return to the south with great fanfare, which has caused Xuan Lan to cover their next rescue operations.

"No problem." The second prince nodded affirmatively when he heard this, spread out a military map of the south bank of the Renou River brought by a secret agency, which briefly marked the garrison status of the Bran's troops. He pointed his hand at a river intersection, "We will pass here by boat later, and then land from this area."

"Cangyan Legion... General Clay is guarding? No, Your Highness!" An old nobleman was shocked when he saw this, "I remember that the family of Clay was already on the side of the power of the eldest prince. And I heard that Clay himself is also close to the eldest prince. We pass through this waterway, aren't we going to the trap of our own..."

"Don't worry." The second prince waved his hand and interrupted. He said with great confidence, "This is just the surface situation. In fact, General Clay has been secretly intimately with me for many years, and there is absolutely no problem passing from here."

The old nobles were also experts in conspiracy and calculating. He immediately understood: "Your Highness is wise. It turns out that General Clay is the secret weapon you have already arranged by the thief..."

"Okay, this is nothing." Under the current situation, the second prince naturally had no time to listen to these flattery words, shook his head and sighed, "It's just a normal practice. I think there is no shortage of such secret tricks around me."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but stagnate, looking at each other with a little startled look on their faces.

After the second prince said that, he knew that he had made a mistake. This should be true, but it sounds like he was pointing to something. And the coverage was too wide, including everyone present... he waved his hands to distract the topic and looked at Tang En: "I need to send someone to contact General Clay with my token before we land so that he can prepare in advance."

"Yes." Tang En simply nodded, "Your people? mine?"

"Use my people, this is more credible." The second prince turned his head and looked at a priest behind him, and saluted simply, "Lao Da, General Clay has seen you, so I have to ask you to come."

"Your Highness, you are polite..."

...

Because of the shocking battle on the river before, the water level was greatly reduced and retreated, there is no so-called port city on the north bank of the Renault River. Instead, it is replaced by large swaths of tidal flats and swamps. Also, because the place is now a real three-no matter area - Bran cannot manage it, the gray-clothed army has no time to manage it, and the Northern Wilderness tribe army is still on its way here, so it seems particularly desolate and desolate.

However, although there was no wharf port, the ships could still be found. It did not take long. A group of hundreds of people arrived on the banks of the Renault River and took three large merchant ships prepared long ago and sailed into the river.

Although the Bran Empire nominally retreated to the south, in fact, this so-called retreat was just withdrawing from the northern boundaries. As a natural military barrier that separates the north and south, the endless Renault River is actually under the control of the Bran army.

In fact, from a certain perspective, the Renault River today is equivalent to Bran's previous frontier border. It is regarded as the last pair of shit pants in the empire and is a major military land that must not be lost!

Once this place is lost, the southern environment of Bran, which is rare in even the mountains, will naturally be unable to resist the tribal cavalry's advance straight into. By that time, the Bran Empire will truly perish...

Of course, it's too early to think about this now. Also,

"Fortunately there is a Renou River!" On the side of the ship, the second prince looked into the vast waters around him, which was helpless and glorious.

From here, it is not far from the first river entrance we want to pass. It only takes a few hours and can reach it in about the evening. So except for a few old nobles who really couldn't stand it, most people did not enter the cabin to rest, but stood on the deck and talked boredly.

Of course, even at this time, there were still not many people who dared to approach the area around Tangen. In the Bran negotiation team, there was only the second prince.

Silently, there was no response, but Tang En knew the emotion in the second prince's words.

Helplessness refers to Bran's current storm situation. At present, this water area that should have promoted economic prosperity in the north and south has become the last barrier to protect the thousand-year empire. It is a bit helpless and a bit ironic.

As for the glory, it means that the existence of this wide water area prevents the Bran Empire from facing the strength and rudeness of the Northern Wilderness Tribe.

"Your Excellency Tang En is a wise man." Seeing that he had not received a response, the second prince pondered for a while and continued, "You said, can the empire survive this disaster?"

Tang En frowned slightly: "The empire is your empire, this kind of thing. It seems more appropriate to ask yourself."

The second prince was stunned, then nodded and sighed: "We should ask ourselves... the barbarians are not good at fighting, and there is basically no experience in fighting here in the history of the Northern Wilderness War. Logically speaking, the safety of the empire should be worry-free in the short term. But..."

He didn't continue to say it, but he was talking about his own advantages, but his expression could not hide his confused and dazed eyes at the future, which already showed that the second prince was not very optimistic about the future of the empire.

Taking a deep breath, he suddenly turned his head and bowed, and gave a great gift. "His Excellency Tang En, can I ask you for a favor?"

"No." Tang En was not Joshia. He ignored the bowing ceremony of the second prince, and he didn't even raise his eyelids and directly refused.

As the second prince, the experience of being rejected directly was obviously not too much. So when I heard this, I was stunned and then reacted, and smiled bitterly: "I think our enemies are at least consistent now. The Temple of Light and my ruthless brother are also the targets that the gray-clothed army is eager to eradicate now, right?"

"Maybe, but I think you misunderstood." Tang En was not surprised by the second prince's request. In fact, the other party was a little unexpected to him when he could wait until now to ask for it. However, he still refused, "The gray army is the gray army, I am me. I came this time just to save Xia Wei'an, and nothing else has to do with me."

"So that's it..." The second prince nodded slightly without comment, then smiled, "I heard that Your Excellency Tang En is an assassin. Then, if I post an assassin mission to you in my personal name, I will give you the bounty..."

"Your Highness!" He rubbed his eyebrows. He had to say that even Tang En's current state of mind was also very burdened and speechless towards the second prince who was like a hawker selling goods. He raised his hand and pointed to the several imperial palace worshipers not far away. "As you, there are many masters and assassins who are willing to kill for you, why do you have to look for me?"

"The main reason is because you are professional. The secondary reason is because you are an outsider." The second prince was very frank and replied without hesitation.

"Then I'll reply to the reasons you two can't help." Tang En spread his hands, "The main reason is that I'm very busy now. The second reason is that I'm really busy now!"

The second prince paused when he heard this, without any anger. He took out a scroll of books from his arms and handed them over: "I was abrupt. Since that's the case, Lord Tang En pretended that I hadn't mentioned it. Well, this is the general topographic map of the Temple General Assembly and some related information. I wrote and painted it according to my memory. You know, even in my identity, I didn't go to the Temple General Assembly too many times, so these information were not comprehensive... It's a plea." After saying that, he smiled gently, and then turned around and left after a simple salute.

After subconsciously taking it, Tang En looked up at the second prince's back and couldn't help but be stunned, then shook his head and laughed.

"ha--"

Smart people are always smart people.

This is not a plea, it is clearly a heavy favor!

The key is, but Tang En had to accept this favor.

The temple is always too mysterious, so mysterious that there are so many rumors in the world that there are so many rumors that can't tell the truth or falsehood. In this case, this information map written by the second prince himself and written by himself is naturally self-evident to Tang En's next rescue operation.

And it is the item of such great significance that the second prince actually sent it lightly, without mentioning a single request... How did Tang En handle it?

So, smart people hate the most...
