After hesitating for a moment, Meng Yu finally decided to tell the truth. He was not a spy in the first place, and he was frank and frank, so there was no need to deceive with lies.
What's more, he doesn't think that his lying skills can fool the deep eyes of the old man. The old man is not necessarily a person of profound wisdom, but the knowledge accumulated over time has made his deep eyes like golden eyes. , Many things cannot escape his eyes.
"I'm a mercenary from the Morin Empire. I originally wanted to escort a caravan to the Renault Empire. I didn't expect to encounter bandits on the way. During the negotiation, we fled while fighting. I didn't expect to encounter a sandstorm in the end. I got separated from my companions."
"By the way, I'm with the beast mercenary group, and their leader is He Chong."
"After I got separated from my companions, I used the sun to identify the direction and walked in one direction. Then, I met Tongtong..."
Meng Yu said without hesitation, of course, he concealed the matter about Lu An, not because he couldn't trust the old man, but because he didn't want to make troubles, such a lie that is seven parts true and three parts false is the most difficult to see through.
While Meng Yu was speaking, the old man kept staring into his eyes. He didn't stand up until Meng Yu finished speaking, and walked out the door.
"etc,"
Meng Yu hesitated for a while, and finally stopped the old man when he was about to walk out of the house.
"The people I met should be the troops of the Morin Empire. They appeared here to attack the Reynolds Empire, and they were massacring villages. They probably wanted to block the news."
"They sit like this, there must be some kind of conspiracy, we should hurry up and get ready with the people of Renault Empire."
After hearing Meng Yu's words, the old man's eyes flashed with suspicion. It's not that he didn't believe Meng Yu's words, but he didn't believe that these words came from Meng Yu's mouth.
Sit back on that chair again: "Aren't you from the Molin Empire? Don't you want the Molin Empire to win?"
Hearing the old man's words, Meng Yu laughed at himself: "From the Molin Empire? In fact, he doesn't know where he is from."
"It doesn't matter where I come from. What's important is that I don't want to see things like Tucun happening again. As long as it's a war, no matter who wins or loses, it's these ordinary people who will suffer in the end."
"If the Renault Empire can get the news earlier, it can at least stop the Morin Empire army. I have seen the map of the Renault Empire. If the Morin Empire army breaks through the Broken Blade City, there will be nothing in the back. There is no danger to defend. I don't know at that time How many civilians will be mercilessly massacred."
Speaking of this, Meng Yu thought of the young couple and their children he saw.
The old man was silent for a while, and looked into the distance through the window, his expression was a little sad, obviously agreeing with Meng Yu's words.
"Half a month ago, the Tianling Empire also declared war on the Renault Empire in the north. Even if the Renault Empire got the news, it might not be able to send troops to reinforce it."
Looking at the sky, the old man said quietly.
Meng Yu was startled, first he was surprised that the Tianling Empire declared war on Renault, and then he was surprised that this kind of thing should be considered a secret, how did the old man know about it.
This place is not like the earth, and it is very inconvenient to transmit news. I am afraid that even the city lord of Broken Blade City has just learned about the news half a month ago.
"That's obvious. Maybe this invasion was negotiated by the Tianling Empire and the Molin Empire, but doesn't the Molin Empire understand the truth of the cold lips? And, how did they cross the Molei Desert? "
Meng Yu's voice became lower and lower, muttering to analyze the clues in his mind.
The old man looked at the young man in front of him. Judging from the immature face of the young man, he would not be more than twenty years old, but not only was he already a great swordsman, but his intelligence was also astonishing. so much.
"I see," Meng Yu raised his eyebrows, and then frowned deeply.
"There are two possibilities. The Molin Empire is only the elite of the team. Their purpose is to harass the Renault Empire in the west, so that the Tianling Empire can easily defeat the Renault Empire. This is also the reason why they slaughtered the village. They are for Block the news."
"As for the second possibility, the Morin Empire troops arriving now may be just scouts. Behind them, there should be the main force of the Morin Empire. Those scouts massacred the village to clear out the garrison for the main force. "
"But I'm still very curious. How did they pass through the Moray Desert? If it's just a small group of elites, it's okay to pass. If it's a large group, it's impossible at all?"
The old man smiled, and then said slowly: "They don't necessarily have to go through the entire Moray Desert, they can go from the territory of the Morin Empire to the second half of the Moray Desert, and then go to the Moray Desert. If you come over from the desert, the difficulty will be reduced hundreds of times.”
Hearing this, Meng Yu felt enlightened. That’s right, no one would believe that the troops of the Morin Empire would pass through the Molei Desert. Therefore, the Renault Empire was not prepared for this. Once the Morin Empire did this, it would be a disaster A strange army, maybe the last one to take down the Renault Empire is not the Tianling Empire on the frontal battlefield, but the Molin Empire.
Perhaps the Morin Empire just wanted to annex the Renault Empire, and then rely on its strong strength to take down the Tianling Empire in one fell swoop, and then unify the entire continent. What a dream.
The old man was also chewing on the analysis provided by Meng Yu, his eyes narrowed smaller and smaller. Once a person of his age opened his mind, he would naturally think of many more things than Meng Yu.
Suddenly, the old man stood up straight, like a lion waking up and opened his eyes. Under the cover of the old man's huge body, Meng Yu only felt a chill. He saw the boundless killing in the old man's deep eyes. , It seemed to be a scene like hell, with flesh and blood flying everywhere, stumps everywhere, and countless deaths and injuries.
"Maybe this is the true face of the old man?" Meng Yu secretly listed the old man as a dangerous person in his heart.
"Whether they are the elite squad or the vanguard, we are in a dangerous situation now. The people we killed three days ago should have attracted their attention. If they want to block the news, then they will definitely send out more powerful The elite came to hunt us down."
The old man looked into the distance, his eyes full of worry: "Old man, I have lived enough, but my granddaughter can't die. I'll go find out the movement of the Morin Empire army first, and you are ready to leave here at any time."
"If I haven't come back tonight, you will take my granddaughter to Broken Blade City, please protect my granddaughter."
After the old man finished speaking, he lowered the big bow on the wall, put it on his back, picked up the quiver and walked out vigorously.
During the whole process, Ye Tong stood silently aside, even when the old man left at the end, Ye Tong didn't say a word, Meng Yu looked at Ye Tong with some doubts, thinking: "Is this my granddaughter?"
"It's very dangerous for grandpa to investigate. I can't let him be distracted." Looking at the old man's leaving back, Ye Tong said silently.
Looking at the thin figure, Meng Yu suddenly thought of the scene when she crawled out of the corpse pit when she first saw Ye Tong, and shook his head, Meng Yu stopped thinking about it.
They are not out of danger now, so what he has to do now is to recharge his batteries and prepare for the next situation.
And the first thing to do is to eat.
Meng Yu touched his empty stomach. He hadn't eaten or drank water for three days and three nights. Although there was still some hard dry food in the small stones, thinking of the taste, he lost his appetite even if he was hungry.
"Little Tongtong, big brother..." Meng Yu showed a big smile to Ye Tong. Meng Yu was sure that in his two lifetimes combined, he had never shown such a kind smile.
However, Ye Tong seemed to be frightened, and jumped back a step, just like she did when she saw Meng Yu for the first time, crossed her small white hands on her chest, and looked at Meng Yu vigilantly: "What do you want to do? Don't come here, I'm very powerful!"
Seeing Ye Tong dancing and flustered, Meng Yu was speechless for a while. He felt that his confidence in his appearance had been hit.
