Thirty miles after the carriage left the city, the dozens of knights' retinue in front were still clearing the way. All the way down here to the east is flat land without any obstacles.
What surprised the knights was that Miss Delly ordered not to go all the way east, but she actually separated half of the people and took a detour to the north for a hundred miles...
This kind of order was very confusing to the accompanying knights. However, since the order was given, no one had any objections.
In the carriage, Princess Louise looked at her close friend beside her. She saw the solemn look on Miss Delly's face.
Suddenly, the princess sighed softly: "Dellie...are you doing this for your brother?"
"Well, what?" Delly smiled, with that charming and innocent smile on her beautiful face.
A hint of gloom flashed in the princess's eyes, and she whispered: "Delly, we have known each other for many years. You have always been smarter than me and think more than me. But this time... do you think that by now,
Don’t I understand what the hell you’re doing?”
Miss Delly's smile seemed a little forced, but then she calmed down, looked at the princess, and said slowly: "Louise, since you can see it, I have nothing to say."
"I just didn't expect that you would actually take advantage of me." The princess' tone was a little dissatisfied, but she still leaned lazily on the seat cushion: "We left in such a hurry... What did you do to the Tulip family in the city?
?”
Miss Delly hesitated for a moment: "Louise, you'd better not ask about these things. Just think that I owe you a huge favor. I promise, I didn't do anything to frame Duke Tulip, but...
I just took something from them."
"Huh!" The princess's voice became colder and she stared at Delly. Her tone gradually became unfamiliar: "Delli, I always thought that no matter how men compete and seduce, we women are just women after all. I
I think the friendship between the two of us is pure and pure. You...you are about to become a princess, why are you still getting involved in this kind of thing?"
Miss Delly smiled bitterly and sighed: "Louise, you were born into a royal family. So there are some things that you don't understand even if I tell you. To you, the word 'family' may just mean your father."
Brother, for a girl like me, this is a heavy responsibility that she cannot escape!"
After saying that, she opened the carriage window. Looking outside, she issued another order to speed up.
After Miss Delly finished doing this, she didn't close the window and leaned on the window edge. She murmured: "Alas... It's a pity that I was too hasty. I'm afraid I still left a loophole for that Philip in the past few days.
, I was worried that he would see through it, so I had to leave in a hurry."
After being silent for a while, Delly turned to look at Princess Louise again and said quietly: "Princess, my Highness. I know that you have a good impression of the Tulip Duke... But, am I not your friend?"
Moreover, when you come to the northwest this time and see everything here, don’t you feel anything at all?”
"Feeling? What does it feel like?"
"The power of Duke Tulip!" Miss Delly's face showed an inscrutability that was very inconsistent with her appearance and age. She seemed to smile and whispered: "Putting down the Northwest Army.
After that war, the news was released to the world. It was the Storm Legion from the north, the Royal Guards of the Imperial City led by my brother, and the Tulip family’s army who combined to defeat the Northwest Army... But Princess Louise, those news were nothing more than that.
It was sent to everyone in the world. But...my brother personally participated in that war, so I know the truth!"
Looking at Princess Louise's blank expression, Delly showed a complicated look in her eyes. There was pity in this look, but also a hint of envy: "You, you don't know after all! The Prince Regent has always been kind to you.
It's a very good protection, and I won't let you get involved in these complicated government affairs, let alone these mundane things. I hope you can live a carefree life. But I am different! Princess Louise, the truth about that war is
:Thousands of cavalrymen under the command of Duke Tulip easily wiped out the 70,000 cavalrymen of Lu Gao of the Northwest Army! Those were 70,000 cavalry!! Grand Duke Tulip mastered some extremely powerful war weapons in this era...
And there are more than one!! However, this kind of war weapon is only available to him and has not been handed over to the empire. The Tulip family is located in the northwest, with military and political power in their hands. There are tens of thousands of soldiers, and with such a powerful
Weapons of war have been around for a long time...Huh, do you think the regent can rest assured?"
Princess Louise suddenly changed her color: "You...did you steal the Tulip family's secret weapon?!"
Then she lowered her voice and asked: "Who are you doing this for? Could it be my brother Chen? He asked you..."
"No." Delly's smile seemed a little indescribably complicated: "I did this for my family. The current situation is that the regent has made it clear that he will bring my family out to fight against the Tulip family. We don't mind.
We should be a balancing weight, but we feel that our weight is too light compared to the Tulip family! There is never a trace of tenderness in political turmoil! Now that we have been promoted to this stage, it will be a life-or-death situation from now on.
.If we want to confront the Tulip family, our family must have the same strength...and..."
As if she had made up her mind, Delly suddenly smiled: "Louise, I believe Prince Chen knows about this matter! Do you think Prince Chen is completely unaware of all my arrangements? Hmph...
...My dear Louise, think about it carefully! Why is it such a coincidence that a few days ago, he arranged for you to meet those young nobles, just because he knew that you would definitely run away afterwards! Moreover, I took you to escape.
When I came out, the regent did not let the Imperial Guards chase me! All of this, although it cannot be said that he ordered me to do this. However, I think he must have just sat back and indulged!"
"I...I don't believe it!" Princess Louise said bluntly: "Delly! My brother wouldn't do this! I know he trusts the Grand Duke Tulip very much, and even entrusts Charlie and Mary to the Grand Duke Tulip to teach him.
…”
"Oh, really?" Delly suddenly leaned over. She gently touched Princess Louise's shoulder and sighed softly: "My dear Louise, you are really too simple. Let me tell you something.
Well... you know, Duke Tulip, he will often come from Big Ear City in the northwest... You know Big Ear City, right? That famous sin city, where all the prisoners are locked up. But Duke Tulip has been there for a long time.
He had already bribed the garrison commander of Dal'er City, and every once in a while, he would take a prisoner from Dal'er City back to work as a labor force! Because the population of Northwest Desa Province is not large. Therefore, Dal'er City
It has become a regular source of labor for Grand Duke Tulip! Your brother, the Prince Regent, has known about this matter for a long time. And I know that the Prince Regent has already set up an spy in Big Ear City. This is normal.
Any smart monarch will take some measures to supervise his ministers.
Just a few months ago, when the Northwest War just ended, we learned that the Tulip family possessed such powerful war weapons. From some source, we learned that they were producing such things in the northern city of Gilliat.
, I have been planning this matter. So, I figured out a way to pass through Big Ear City!
I sent a few loyal dead soldiers to sneak into Big Er City as prisoners first. Then when the Tulip family sent people to select prisoners to go back as laborers, my people bribed the soldiers in Big Er City and were arrested.
The people from the Tulip family bought it back and used it as slaves. They entered Gilliat City! After several months of hard work, I got what I needed."
At this point, Miss Delly seemed to smile and said softly: "Dear Louise, wouldn't the spy of the regent in Big Ear City know about my actions? I think he knows,
But he didn’t say anything!”
Princess Louise was really speechless. She looked at her close friend, and after a long time, she took a deep breath: "So, this time you take me to escape from the imperial capital, and take me with you.
When I came to the northwest, everything was..."
"It's all arranged by me." Delly admitted straightforwardly, with some apology in her eyes: "I'm sorry, Louise. I know I took advantage of you this time. But I have to do it. Because your princess
Identity will be a good protective barrier for me. And... I promise, this is the first and last time. After we go back this time, if you are unwilling to forgive me, then I will understand in the future. I
After I go back, I will marry your brother soon, and you can continue to be your worry-free princess. Okay?"
Princess Louise opened her mouth: "But, how could my brother treat the Grand Duke Tulip..."
"I said, he didn't instruct me to do this, he just acquiesced." Princess Delly sighed: "Louise, you are so naive. No monarch will tolerate his subjects possessing threats.
My own power! No matter how loyal Duke Tulip is to the Regent, no matter how much the Regent trusts him...but, it is more reassuring to have powerful weapons in your own hands!"
A powerful weapon is more secure when it is in your own hands.
This sentence made Princess Louise truly believe it.
"Moreover, if I succeed this time, I will also hand over a share of what I get to the Prince Regent after I go back." Delly said lightly: "I think he will be very satisfied if I do this."
At this moment, the knight's exclamation suddenly came from outside!
"Oh my God! Look in the sky!!"
Miss Dai Li was startled, and immediately looked out, and saw several silhouettes flying across the sky above her head. They were several Decepticon teams flying by on broomsticks!
Delly's expression changed, but she soon calmed down, with a smile on her lips: "Hmph, it seems that Mr. Philip has really noticed it! He even sent out the Decepticon Sky Knights... What a pity, I
The original strategy of dividing the troops and confusing them has failed."
Her face was unusually calm, without any panic, and she shouted to the people outside: "Ignore it! Speed up and move forward!!"
Soon, teams of Decepticons appeared more and more frequently in the sky. Finally, on the ground, carriages and horses were speeding, and in the sky, several Decepticon teams were above their heads.
Circling back and forth.
The guard behind him also sent a warning: "Miss! There is dust flying on the road behind you. It seems that a large number of pursuers are coming!"
Sure enough, looking back, I saw the dusty sky above the road, and in the distance I heard the neat and dense sound of horse hooves.
Seeing the dust flying on the ground, the experienced knights among the guard immediately exclaimed: "It's a cavalry! It's a regular brigade of elite cavalry!"
Soon, the pursuers behind them closed the distance, and the flag of the cavalry at the front was clearly the Tulip family's army.
"Miss, what should we do now?" A guard knight rode up to the carriage.
Miss Delly pondered for a moment, her eyes flashed, then she took a deep breath and decisively issued an order: "Everyone stop! Line up on the spot! Don't act rashly without my order!"
After saying that, she quickly closed the car window, then looked back at the surprised Princess Louise: "I'm sorry. Louise, I need your help now."
The person leading the pursuit was naturally the 250th General, Longbottom.
After receiving the order from Philip, he was certainly surprised, but he was loyal to the Tulip family now, so it didn't matter who the princess was. He just had to follow the boss's order. And... He Longbottom had nothing to do with him.
The imperial royal family really doesn't have a good impression of him either.
After all, Longbottom was smart. He knew that this matter was not trivial, so the subordinates he brought were all direct descendants of the veterans he had selected who had followed him on the northwest grasslands.
These people were well-trained, had excellent horses, and were guided by the Decepticon team in the sky, so they quickly caught up with them.
Seeing that the carriages and horses in front suddenly stopped, Longbottom was startled for a moment, then grinned: "Humph, the prey has stopped! Brothers, go up and surround us! Everyone is here, weaving around on the left and right sides.
Surrounded. Level 1 combat readiness!!"
Under the majestic voice, the elite cavalry immediately separated the two groups and went around from the left and right.
Nearly a thousand cavalrymen, all the most elite ones trained by Longbottom, soon surrounded the opponent's chariots and horses with more than a hundred people in the middle. The surrounding cavalrymen formed a circle, and all the cavalrymen raised their spears.
, facing the besieged group of people in the middle.
Longbottom rode his horse and took two steps forward, shouting loudly: "Please come out and talk to the princess!!"
One of the knights guarding Delly, a leader with an angry look on his face, shouted: "Damn it! Is the Tulip family planning to rebel? Do you know what a serious crime this is if you dare to intercept the carriages and horses of the princess and the princess!"
With that said, with a loud sound, the knight pulled out his long sword and made two threatening blows.
Longbottom didn't even bother to look at this bluffing guy. He had a sneer on his fat face, squinted his eyes, only stared at the luxurious carriage in the front, and shouted loudly: "Miss Delly! I think you should
You know why we are chasing you here! Therefore, I personally suggest that you better not let your idiot men pretend to be heroes! I will give you dozens of blows, and you order all your guards to dismount, put down their weapons, and stand still with their hands on their heads...
Otherwise..."
As he said that, his war horse took two steps forward: "One!"
The knight who drew his sword immediately stood up and blocked Longbottom's direction, pointing his sword at General 250: "Longbottom! Don't think I don't know what you are! You are just an officer who was dismissed for committing a crime. How dare you offend...
…”
Before he could finish his words, a cold light flashed in Longbottom's eyes! Suddenly, he saw General Two Hundred and Fifteen grab the spear hanging on the horse, grab it with one hand, and without any nonsense, he shouted,
Suddenly he thrust towards the knight!
Poof! The spear, shining with fighting spirit, pierced directly into the knight's chest, piercing that guy's body!
Poor that knight, he screamed, blood spilled from his mouth, the sword in his hand fell to the ground, and with a short scream, his whole body was picked up by Longbottom's spear!
Longbottom held a spear in one arm, picked up a corpse, and flicked it...
Bang! When the corpse fell to the ground, all Delly's guards were boiling. Soon someone started shouting, and everyone was about to charge up with their swords drawn!
Longbottom laughed and swung the spear in his hand in an arc. He heard several bangs and knocked down the long swords of several surrounding knights.
"Miss Delly, it seems that you don't care about the life and death of your subordinates."
Longbottom's other hand has already been raised, and as long as it is waved down, it is a gesture of ordering to let go and kill!
