The gate of Longdu City.
Susan, who had just been welcomed into the city, was already exhausted and did not care about the royal etiquette. She knelt on the ground, held the water bottle and drank heavily.
"Drink slowly..."
Wearing the uniform of the National Night Watch, he outlines his well-proportioned figure.
Although he is already over forty years old.
But the Xia Lengling in front of her is still beautiful, and she has a mature charm even though she is a mature woman.
"Her Majesty the Queen."
Crouch down.
Xia Lengling frowned lightly, handed over a piece of soft bread, and asked: "What happened? How did you end up like this?"
He quickly grabbed the bread.
Susan in front of her devoured the food on the spot, not caring about the so-called etiquette at all.
During her days on the run, she almost died in the wilderness due to lack of food and severe lack of water.
In the face of survival.
All the hypocrisy of face and shame have become dispensable and fleeting.
Survive is the only last word!
"Xue Yun...I want to find Xue Yun..."
I took another big gulp of water and finally regained my composure.
Susan was in a miserable state in front of her. She seemed to have suffered a lot along the way, and she gasped for air.
"The Emirate of Barça...is occupied...I, I need his help..."
Hear the words.
All the night watchmen looked troubled and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Nowadays, Daxia cannot protect itself, so how can it spare the energy to help small overseas border countries?
not to mention.
Xue Yun was currently on a plain battlefield thousands of miles away. He was busy dealing with the legions of the three major forces, and it was impossible for him to take time off to meddle in other affairs outside.
"Understood."
Sighed softly.
Xia Lengling nodded silently, and after pondering for a while, he said, "Your Majesty, come with me."
It doesn't take a while.
A black business car slowly arrived at the gate of the city. Xia Lingling directly signaled the driver to get out of the car, got into the driver's seat, turned to the shocked Susan, and said: "This is not the place to talk. You have been running all the way. I'll go ahead." We’ll make arrangements for you to stay.”
With the help of two night watchmen, Susan got into the car tremblingly.
"Others, stay where you are."
He glanced coldly at the subordinates who were accompanying him.
Xia Lengling said without any doubt: "It is a matter of great importance. No one is allowed to reveal a word to the outside world about what happened just now without my permission, otherwise it will be punished as treason."
As soon as these words came out.
The National Night Watchmen present immediately felt the pressure and stood up straight, not daring to show any disobedience.
Xue Yun and Hu Kui are not in Longdu City.
Xia Lengling is the most powerful leader in the fortress city, and the entire combat readiness department must obey her arrangements.
Buzz…
With the sound of the engine.
Xia Lengling stopped talking and drove toward the city alone with Susan, who had come from afar.
The journey was uneventful.
Looking out at the streets and alleys through the car window, Susan opened her eyes wide and remained silent.
Compared with the depression in the Barcelona Emirate, the atmosphere in Rendu is peaceful.
Not only is there a large population, but there are also an endless stream of shops on the street. Although the pedestrians on the road are busy, they can see that they are full of hope for their lives.
"Is this... the Dragon Capital of Daxia?"
Staring at everything outside the window in stunned silence.
Thinking of the tragic situation in her hometown, Susan couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness.
I was speechless all the way.
The black business car went straight to a villa on the outskirts of Longdu.
"Here we are."
Slowly walking out of the carriage, the two stood side by side in front of the courtyard.
Xia Lengling's expression remained normal as he introduced: "This is a safe house specially built by the War Readiness Department for special people."
"Special people?" Susan asked in surprise.
"That's right."
Nodding silently.
Xia Lengling continued: "For example, hostages with special identities, envoys from other countries, and important guests who need the protection of Longdu."
Hear the words.
Susan felt like something was stuck in her throat, and then she looked at the house in front of her.
The huge garden is covered with all kinds of vegetation and weeds, and it has obviously been neglected for a long time.
The three-story wooden building is not too luxurious, and is even inconspicuous, but it is low-key enough, and it is located in a relatively remote suburb, so it is difficult to attract people's attention.
"Thank you, Director Xia."
He let out a sigh of relief.
Susan, who had a dusty face, first turned around to thank her, and still urged nervously: "But what I want to see most now is Xue Yun. This matter is very important, and only he can turn the tide."
"Sorry, Your Majesty..."
He shook his head coldly.
Xia Lengling looked indifferent and said: "Minister Xue is currently performing an important task and is not in Longdu. For your personal safety, I'm afraid I have to force you to live here for a while..."
There was a pause.
Xia Lengling's eyes were sharp and he said bluntly: "Or, you are willing to choose to believe me and give me a full explanation of the ins and outs of the matter. If it can help, we at Longdu will definitely not refuse."
Startled slightly.
Susan was immediately speechless. After hesitating for a long time, she still chose to act cautiously and said with a wry smile: "I understand, then I'll stay here temporarily. When Xue Yun comes back, please arrange for me to meet with him immediately."
He bowed humbly.
The queen in front of her had no airs at all and whispered: "Please."
Didn't respond.
Xia Lengling stepped forward and opened the courtyard door, and took Susan in personally.
In front of the villa.
Two tough guards stood in front of the gate, one on the left and one on the right.
"Listen carefully..."
Stand with your hands behind your back.
Xia Lengling's tone was cold and she said in a deep voice: "Her Majesty the Queen is our most distinguished guest in Longdu. Give me 24 hours a day to watch her. If anything happens to her, I will use your wealth and life to pay for it." Bar!"
boom......
The guard at the door did not dare to hesitate, and almost uniformly saluted a military salute, looking at Susan with cold seriousness in his eyes.
I vaguely felt something was wrong, but unfortunately I couldn't find anything wrong for a while.
Susan smiled awkwardly.
Immediately, three or four servants came out, swarmed over him, and welcomed him into the house without any explanation.
Seeing that everything is in order.
Xia Lengling then turned around and walked out of the courtyard, driving away alone.
only.
However, she did not return to the city center, but parked the car halfway by a deserted bush.
Close your eyes.
Sitting alone in the driver's seat, Xia Lengling looked solemn. She raised her arm and glanced at the communication watch on her wrist. After careful consideration, she dialed a series of unfamiliar numbers.
Didi didi...
As the soft groan rose, a strange beam of light was projected from the watch.
next moment--
A holographic communication projection flashed in the carriage, and a man in military uniform suddenly appeared on the screen.
"What a rare visitor..."
Adjusted the military cap.
The left eye of the man in the picture is wearing a pitch-black eyepatch. He is the warlord who has occupied the power of the Emirate of Barcelona and the commander-in-chief of the "Freedom Fist" - General Hiss, known as "Red Arms".
"Everything in the world is unpredictable. Who would have thought that after so many years, you would take the initiative to contact me!"
Grinning.
General Hiss raised his chin and raised his eyebrows: "What should I call you now? Should I call you Xia Lengling, or should I call you 'Heiyan' like before?!"
