To be honest, it was not that Zhou Xingyun deliberately wanted the little girl to starve while waiting for him, but that lunch for two hundred people was really not that easy to make.
Fortunately, Zhou Xingyun was not fighting alone. Xunxuan, Wei Suyao, Qili'an, Isabel, and Seluvinia were all helping him with chores in the kitchen.
It was not until three or four o'clock in the afternoon that Zhou Xingyun finished his work and presented an exquisite Chinese cuisine to each of the heroes who had recaptured Maiba Fort.
Although each person can only get one dumpling, steamed dumpling, fried spring roll, etc., Zhou Xingyun thinks this is just right!
Let the little girls have a try. If they still want to eat after eating, they can only ask the instructor to cook it for them next meal!
In this way, after taking back Maiba Castle, the little girls in the paradise laughed and had a delicious meal that they would never forget.
While the little girls were dining, Houllier also took the people from the paradise to Fort Myba.
When Hollier looked at the soldiers of the Principality of Cheryl on the tower of Mayba Castle, his heart could only be described in four words: huge waves.
The sky changes overnight! The sky changes overnight!
On the way to Fort Mayba, Houllier learned the general situation from his confidants.
It was Zhou Xingyun who led the little girls from Seluvinia Paradise to recapture Fort Maiba, and then lured the enemy to attack Fort Maiba, consuming the enemy's strength and creating a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the soldiers of the Principality of Cheryl to attack.
, wiped out all the troops of the Kingdom of Lhasa.
Incredible... really incredible... Houllier never imagined that Zhou Xingyun's military talent could be so terrifying.
The city gate of Mayba Castle has slowly opened, but Hollier was dumbfounded at the gate, feeling not only shocked but also shocked.
Houllier didn't realize he was distracted until Amanda called her twice.
When Hollier directed a group of people to cross the gate of Maiba Fort, even if she couldn't believe it, she had to believe that Zhou Xingyun really helped them recapture the fallen Maiba Fort!
Zhou Xingyun originally wanted to happily have a big meal with all the little cuties, but the guards reported to him that Hollier and his family came to Maiba Castle with their families.
Houllier is a very strict tutor, so strict that when he crowds in a group of little girls, he will reflexively stand at attention when he sees her.
Therefore, Houllier's arrival will inevitably make all the ladies in Xiaosai Paradise feel in awe.
In order not to ruin the joyful atmosphere of the little girls celebrating their victory, Zhou Xingyun had no choice but to put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and go to greet Houllier in person.
"Welcome Mr. Houllier to Fort Mayba."
As soon as Houllier entered Maiba Castle, he saw Zhou Xingyun, Wei Suyao and Hua Fuduo walking over proudly.
"His Excellency Zhou Xingyun left without saying goodbye, which made the old man very anxious." Houllier showed a bright smile on his wrinkled face, like a friend reunited after a long separation, and greeted him cordially: "I didn't expect that Your Excellency Zhou Xingyun was so resourceful that overnight, he
To recapture Fort Maiba without anyone noticing. It’s so powerful and scary! If possible, I must involve the old man in the next operation. I really want to see His Excellency Zhou Xingyun’s extraordinary methods.”
Houllier mentioned Zhou Xingyun's unauthorized actions, but her tone of voice was very tactful and gentle, and there was no hint of blaming Zhou Xingyun.
Although when he just learned that Zhou Xingyun and others were missing this morning, Houllier wanted to peel him off and cramp him, but after finding out the whole story and seeing that Zhou Xingyun actually helped them take back Maiba Castle, Houlier really didn't dare to complain about him.
.
I really don’t dare!
Seeing Zhou Xingyun's godlike ability in using troops, Houllier already regarded him as a guest and as an envoy sent by God to help the great empire survive the crisis!
With Zhou Xingyun's full help, they might really be able to repel the armies of the Holy Alliance and the Oseland Alliance without the support of the imperial army.
The issue Houllier is considering now is how to tell Zhou Xingyun everything about their situation and ask Zhou Xingyun to stay and help!
At present, Zhou Xingyun does not know that the Great Empire's Ni Bodhisattva crossing the river cannot protect himself. Even if he recaptures Maiba Fort and can hold his position for a month, the empire's reinforcements will not come.
In other words, they are in an isolated and helpless situation and can only find a way to repel the armies of the Holy Union Army and the Osselan Alliance.
Looking at the problem from Zhou Xingyun's perspective, as long as they recapture Fort Maiba, they can sit back and relax and wait for reinforcements.
Looking at the problem from Houllier's perspective, retaking Fort Mayba is just a stepping stone to solving the crisis. There are more problems that need to be solved later.
To sum it up in two short sentences, without Fort Maiba, they would have been dead. With Fort Maiba back, they would have had a narrow escape.
Their situation now only has a glimmer of hope.
During the conversation with Zhou Xingyun, Houllier wanted to find a time as soon as possible to tell him the real situation so that he could formulate a battle plan.
"Your Excellency Zhou Xingyun, please forgive me for asking a question. How did you sneak into Maiba Fort and then drive the soldiers of the Lhasa Kingdom out of the city?"
Houllier and Zhou Xingyun had just chatted for a few words when several people eagerly stepped forward to interrupt.
Hollier frowned when she saw this, but she did not blame them. After all, she also wanted to know what trick Zhou Xingyun used to drive the soldiers of the Lhasa Kingdom out of the city.
Hollier received very limited information from his confidants. He only knew that the army of the Kingdom of Lhasa had withdrawn from Maiba Fort inexplicably.
How did Zhou Xingyun sneak into Maiba Fort? What method did he use to force the enemy to withdraw from Maiba Fort? They had no idea at all.
"Sorry, this is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words. If you want to know the specific situation, you might as well ask Xiao Xiaosai." Zhou Xingyun looked at the people in front of him. They were probably Houllier's staff.
When they entered Maiba Fort, all of them had their eyes widened with disbelief. Now they were like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, asking Zhou Xingyun how he took back Maiba Fort.
I just like your attitude, you look like you have never seen the world! Zhou Xingyun is very proud, I am very happy when I see you making a fuss!
You don’t want to think about who I am! I am the Grand Marshal of the Zhenbei Cavalry! I am a man who can match wits and courage with Tiangong Yuan! Is Maiba Bao a mere hammer? If I were not addicted to women, I would not be able to conquer the entire Western Continent.
question!
Zhou Xingyun felt happy in his heart, and he could only feel happy in his heart. After all, silent pretense is the most deadly, and silence is better than sound at this time!
"Xiao Xiaosai? Are you referring to Seluvinia? Where are they now?"
Since Zhou Xingyun took the initiative to mention the little girls in the paradise, Houllier took the opportunity to ask where they were.
"I prepared a celebration banquet for them. They are celebrating today's victory at the Lord's Mansion." Zhou Xingyun looked at Holier and said with a smile: "They are the great contributors to retaking Fort Maiba. We must reward them well. Here I
I have a gracious request, I hope Lord Houllier allows them to relax for a few days."
"Of course..." Hollier nodded gently, she understood what Zhou Xingyun meant.
She is the manager of the park and the top person in charge of the candidates for the imperial concubine. When the little girls in the park see her, they will inevitably feel restrained and unable to relax and have fun.
but……
"Your Excellency Zhou Xingyun, can you take me to see them? We can talk in the side hall of the Lord's Mansion afterwards without affecting them."
Hollier was really worried. She wanted to know the casualties of Seluvinia and all the people.
Although Hollier felt that as long as she could recapture Fort Mayba, even if more than half of Xiao Sai and the others were killed or injured, or even all of them were killed, it would still be worth it. Even though this would make her feel very distressed...
Now Houllier just wants to see the battle damage of the imperial concubine candidate.
After all, Xiao Xiaosai and all the little girls in the paradise are important bargaining chips for her to win over Zhou Xingyun. If they suffer too many casualties in the process of retaking Maiba Fort, or if many of them are disfigured in the battle, then it will definitely happen
affect future negotiations.
Therefore, Houllier wanted to confirm their injuries as soon as possible...
"Okay, Mr. Houllier came in a hurry, so he definitely didn't have time for lunch. We might as well go to the side hall of the Lord's Mansion to have dinner together."
After that, Zhou Xingyun made an invitation gesture and motioned for Holier to return to the Lord's Mansion in Mayba Castle with him.
The little girl in the paradise disappeared suddenly, and Houllier must have been very anxious. If Zhou Xingyun didn't let her go see Xiao Xiaosai now, she would be so uncomfortable that she wouldn't be able to sleep.
Zhou Xingyun came out to greet Houllier. His original intention was not to prevent her from contacting the little girls in the paradise, but to hope that Houlier would not talk seriously about things at the celebration banquet.
Xiao Xiaosai and the other girls violated the rules of the park and followed Zhou Xingyun out to cause trouble. Houllier must have felt very unhappy, thinking that their behavior was a betrayal of the empire.
Zhou Xingyun was worried that when Houllier saw Xiao Xiaosai and others, he would say harsh words such as saying that there is no next time, so he can do it for himself, so he came to give Houlier a shot of vaccination in advance to let her know.
The little girl in the paradise was deceived and followed him out of the paradise.
On the way to the Lord's Mansion of Maiba Castle, Zhou Xingyun told the story of how he deceived the little girl, laughing and joking.
Talking and laughing? Shouldn't Zhou Xingyun repent and apologize?
No! When Zhou Xingyun reported to Houllier, not only did he not have any regrets, but he was also very proud, as if he was showing off his abilities.
Hearing this, Houllier could only force a smile and praise Zhou Xingyun for his resourcefulness.
Zhou Xingyun knows his position in Houllier's heart. He is a great nobleman from the Eastern royal family. How could he repent and apologize after committing meritorious deeds? Showing off his proud masterpieces can actually confirm his position as a 'strong man' in Houllier's mind.
status.
How dignified is it for a dignified general of the Zhenbei Cavalry to handle things submissively?
Be proud! Be arrogant! Be proud!
Zhou Xingyun, who led a group of new recruits and recaptured Fort Maiba overnight, is proud of himself! Houllier and others could only reconsider hard and praise him for his clever calculation!
If you don't flatter Zhou Xingyun now, how can you entrust him to fight against powerful enemies in the future?
