Four hundred and thirtieth chapters [most afraid of a person]
Chapter 432 [The kind of person I’m most afraid of]
Philip's naked humiliation made Delly's body tremble uncontrollably, and she felt like there was a fire burning in her heart.
Fear and humiliation, two emotions intertwined in a complex way. Delly finally raised her head and looked at Philip: "Mr. Philip, may I ask, are you planning to kill us?"
Philip said nothing.
Delly tried to calm herself down... She suddenly had a strange idea in her mind: Perhaps, when facing the unreasonable General 250, her words and strategies were ineffective. After all, you can't speak to barbarians.
Reasonable.
But this Philip is from the civilized world! He should have concerns and will not do things regardless of the consequences.
"If you decide to kill us, then please do it!" Delly tried her best to make her voice sound colder and calmer: "But don't forget, today, here, after your butcher knife falls, then you
The first thing you have to do when you go back is to rebel immediately! Use the power of a province to fight against the entire empire! I believe that no matter how powerful the Tulip family is, in the end, you are just the next Northwest Legion!"
Philip smiled.
He felt that the girl in front of him was indeed something remarkable. Although she looked a little scared and intimidated, she could still remain calm and say these words. And... as a young child, this was the first time she had conspired.
, I almost got myself fooled, which is pretty good.
"Okay, General Longbottom, put away your knife, it will frighten the noble lady." Philip's words made Miss Delly feel relieved. But the next moment, Philip's next words made her
She felt relieved again.
"But, Miss Delly, I think you should know why I'm here...I don't like seeing blood, but when I need to kill someone, I won't be soft-hearted either."
Philip walked up to the three prisoners kneeling on the ground, took one look at them, and said coldly: "They are the three escaped slaves who ran away from Gilliat City? Huh... Miss Delly, this time you
Well done.”
When things got to this point, Delly was pretty straightforward. Since she couldn't escape, she didn't hesitate and told the whole story straightforwardly.
Philip listened quietly. It was pretty much what he expected: "Well, so the garrison officers in Big Er City were also bribed by you? Humph, that's right. Can you think of using this method to sneak into Gilliat as a slave?
city."
But Philip still has a question, that is, even if he sneaks into Gilliat City, the production process there is divided into several process lines. According to the data, each of these three people is working
After several months of mixing in different programs, it is indeed possible to piece together a complete process technology... However, whether it is gunpowder or a broomstick, they are all extremely complicated things.
He said that most people would not understand even if you told them.
"These three people are all magic talents cultivated by the family... They all have the qualifications of magic apprentices." Delly explained honestly.
Phillip raised his eyebrows: "Huh, you are really brave! They actually sent three precious magic apprentices to pretend to be humble slave prisoners and sneak into our base camp."
Now that things have come to this, there is no doubt anymore.
Delly thought for a while and then said: "Mr. Philip, I give up on this matter. I can hand over these three people to you, and your secrets will not be leaked. But I still want to give you a word of advice, you are here
Killing me is of no use. It will only drive your Duke to a dead end! Civilized people should follow the rules of the game for civilized people."
Philip smiled: "Oh? What are the rules of the civilized game you are referring to?"
"Let me and the princess go back." When Miss Delly said this, she said calmly: "We are just two women, and there is no benefit in killing us. Moreover, I think the Duke does not want to be responsible for the murder of the princess and the princess.
It's a crime. And...I promise, I didn't make a copy of your secret. If you don't believe it, you can search me."
As she spoke, she opened her arms. This action was indeed a bit alluring. The girl's plump body was wrapped in a long, close-fitting skirt, and her expression showed that she was ready to be manipulated by anyone.
But Philip just smiled: "Miss Delly, I believe you did not make a copy. Copying this kind of secret will only increase the possibility of leakage! You want to get our weapon secrets, but you also want to improve your own strength.
But if the secret is leaked and everyone on the mainland knows it, then it will be of no value. Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone search your body.”
"Then let me and the princess go back." Delly said lightly: "I have given up on this matter. It is common for two families to fight for victory or defeat. Mr. Philip, you will not give up just for a friction.
Initiate an all-out war?"
Philip was smiling: "Yes, any struggle between families is always going back and forth. It is full of compromise and tolerance. If a full-scale war started after a friction, then all the major families on the mainland would have been killed long ago.
But Miss Delly, why should I let you go back?"
Delly opened her mouth: "You..."
"I believe you didn't copy it, but I think you should have memorized this secret. Miss Delly, do you think I am a fool? If I were you, I would have killed these three guys long ago.
!" Philip sneered: "I believe that the legendary talented Miss Delly is not only accomplished in art! I think that since your family can cultivate its own magic talents, then you, Miss Delly, should be there.
You must have some attainments in the field of magic! The formulas and secrets of those magic weapons cannot be understood by ordinary people even if they read them. But you, for a person who is quite accomplished in the field of magic, you must have memorized them.
Right?"
Delly's face turned pale.
Philip said coldly: "You deliberately left these three alive on the road because you had already thought about it. We would probably catch up with you after being noticed. You have already thought about it. In this place in the northwest, you can't escape."
Dropped! If we catch up, you can simply admit defeat and hand over the three living mouths to us. Then say a few words of honor, pat your noble butt, and then leave in a swaggering way, right?
Anyway, as long as the secret is recovered, we have no reason to kill you and the noble princess! This is your last reliance on Miss Delly. If I am wrong, can you please point it out?"
Delly was speechless.
Every word Phillip said was like a sharp sword, piercing her heart! She had to admit that Phillip's guess was very correct!
Delly has indeed received magic training since she was a child. She also has considerable magic knowledge. However, due to talent issues, she cannot learn magic, but she has gained the basic attainments of a magic apprentice.
Therefore, when the three people brought the secret back, she immediately asked for all the formulas, and the formulas were already in her mind! Keeping these three people and taking them with them on the road is exactly what Phillip said
Like that, she was fine. Most likely, the other party would notice and hunt her down. However, due to her identity, as long as she handed over the person at that time, the other party would never dare to actually kill her. And she.
You can also leave with the secret formula that you have completely mastered in your mind!
With a faint mocking smile, Philip looked at the pale Delly: "Dear Princess, since I have already guessed it, do you think I will let you go back?"
After saying that, Philip had already given an order in a low voice: "Here comes someone! Please ask Miss Delly to get on the carriage, and then, please two distinguished ladies, come back to Loulan City with us!"
"You..." Delly was really scared now: "Philip! You detained the princess and the princess. Do you think you can keep this matter secret?"
Phillip smiled: "I never thought about keeping it secret."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and several soldiers rushed forward. Without further ado, they stuffed Delly into the carriage and closed the door. Two more soldiers got into the coachman's seat and drove the carriage away.
Went back to Loulan City.
Delly in the car looked pale, but Princess Louise next to her looked calm at the moment and just sighed softly: "Delly..."
"What?" Delly reluctantly answered.
"I think of my brother Chen, what he said to me back then."
"What words?"
Princess Louise said calmly: "He once said to me: There are some games in this world that only men can play. It is best for women not to participate in them."
After saying this, the princess simply leaned on the seat cushion, closed her eyes, and never looked at Delly again.
Looking at the carriage returning to Loulan City under the tight protection of the cavalry, Philip's face gradually darkened. Longbottom walked over next to him: "Philip, what should we do now?"
"Um?"
"Hey, don't think I'm really a fool!" Longbottom came closer and whispered: "Although I am bolder, I also know the stakes! Detaining a princess and a princess, once this kind of thing is exposed, what do you think?
How long can we hold on?"
Philip smiled bitterly: "Longbottom, do you know? If the enemy I face is very smart or very stupid, I am not afraid. I am only afraid of one kind of person..."
Um?
Longbottom was a little puzzled. Of course it is easy to understand if you are not afraid of stupid enemies. The stupider the enemy, the easier it is to deal with it. But why are you not afraid of smart enemies?
"Because truly smart enemies tend to leave some room for maneuver in things! They won't do things absolutely! In this way, even if everyone gets into a stalemate in the end, it won't end up hurting both sides. This is what smart people do. But
...but I am afraid of one kind of person."
"Which one?"
Philip smiled bitterly: "That's the kind of girl Delly! This kind of person is a little smart, but also a little stupid. He is smarter than a real fool, but a little stupider than a real smart person. He is obviously just a second-rate IQ,
But if you make serious mistakes on key issues, you will drag yourself and the enemy into hell in the end!"
He looked at Philip and patted the general on the shoulder hard: "If this little girl didn't memorize the formula in her mind. Or, in other words, she didn't understand magic. Then ordinary people can't understand this formula at all! But!
She was stupid because she relied on her identity and memorized the formula in her heart. As a result, I didn't want to arrest her, but I had to arrest her! This is called stupidity! Because she doesn't understand that politics is a kind of compromise.
What a game! Her stupid approach, which leaves no room for error, has pushed herself and us to a dead end!"
After saying this, Philip deliberately pulled Longbottom and fell behind the large army. Seeing that there was no one around, Philip lowered his voice and solemnly whispered to Longbottom: "General, what do I want to say to you now?
In a word, these words are not formal orders, they are just words between colleagues."
Longbottom's eyes flashed: "Go ahead."
Philip's face was gloomy, but his tone was unprecedentedly solemn: "I can tell you without hesitation, General, we are in big trouble this time! This damn woman, because of her cleverness, is likely to bring down both the enemy and our families.
Forced to the edge of the cliff! Therefore, although the Duke is not in the house now, we can't get any orders or instructions from him, but I personally have some suggestions that I would like to give you."
When Philip said this, he deliberately paused for a while, then he stared into Longbottom's eyes, gritted his teeth, and said a word that made both of them tremble!
"Get ready for battle!"
The muscles in the corners of Longbottom's eyes twitched and he looked at Philip. All he saw in the eyes of this frail young man was determination!
Philip said in a deep voice: "After you return, I ask you to immediately assemble the family's army and prepare for war. I will also allocate relevant supplies. At the same time, we will increase the defense force for our military fortresses on the eastern front. All family armies will be mobilized together."
Level combat readiness..."
The two men were silent. After a long time, Philip looked at the sky and sighed: "I hope our preparations will not really come in use. Because now is not the time at all."
