When a group of armored soldiers rushed in, the scene was not as tense as Black Stone had imagined. The leading general had dark brown eyes, a feature Black Stone knew was characteristic of nobles from the White Elephant Kingdom.
The person in front of me is most likely a member of the royal family of the White Elephant Kingdom.
"Excuse me, which of you is Mr. Black Stone from the Gobi Desert?"
The leading general asked.
Blackstone thought quickly for a moment, then carefully surveyed the surrounding environment and, finding no way out, stepped forward and said:
"That is me!"
The general said with a smile, "I am Tuwu, the captain of the White Elephant Kingdom's Imperial Guard. I have come on the orders of the White Elephant Kingdom's eldest princess to invite Mr. Black Stone to the city lord's mansion as a guest."
The eldest princess of the White Elephant Kingdom? Black Stone really couldn't understand why the other party would come to him.
"it is good."
Blackstone didn't waste any words, because the situation before him didn't give him a choice; he had no choice but to agree.
If they don't resist, they can at least temporarily save the others.
"Captain Vulture, are my companions allowed to move around freely?"
The vulture grinned: "Of course."
Blackstone followed Vulture and his group onto their horses and headed straight for the city lord's mansion.
The Tongcheng City Lord's Mansion was very luxurious, which showed that he was a very powerful person. However, this fat-headed Tongcheng City Lord was standing next to a young woman like a lapdog, bowing and lowering his head. Even though doing so was very stressful for his obese body, he still gritted his teeth and insisted on maintaining this obsequious appearance.
Ariel, who was sitting in a luxurious armchair, stood up when she saw Blackstone approaching. With her light movements, the silver bells on Ariel's body made a crisp sound.
Her voice was also extremely beautiful, like a nightingale.
"I heard you came from that Gobi Desert?"
-
"Chairman Blackstone has been captured, what do we do?"
After Blackstone left, the remaining members of the Chamber of Commerce were thrown into a panic.
In their view, the local authorities arrested their leader without any explanation as soon as they arrived.
The child who had been hidden was also brought into the room.
"Xiao Feige, go back and tell the general what's going on here. We'll stay here and see how things develop."
The remaining second-in-command made up his mind.
"I don't want to be a coward!"
Xiao Feige said, raising his head.
"Coward my foot!"
The second-in-command gave him a smacked tap on the head and continued, "You need to understand the situation. We came here with a mission entrusted to us by the general, and now that the mission has failed, we must take back the reasons for the failure. Do you understand?"
The second-in-command put his hand on Xiao Feige's shoulder and said earnestly.
Xiao Feige nodded as if he understood but not quite.
The second-in-command softened his tone: "Besides, if we all leave, we'll definitely attract attention. It's easier for you, a child, to escape... Go, take the message back."
At this point, Xiao Feige didn't say anything more, but bit his lip and quickly climbed over the wall from the backyard.
After leaving the shop where he had rested, Xiao Feige spewed all the way to the vicinity of the city gate and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there were no heavy guards there.
Xiao Feige blended into the crowd and successfully left the city with the flow of people.
The moment he left the city, Xiao Feige did not speed up, as that would have made his behavior seem rather strange.
Only after walking a distance did Xiao Feige truly relax; in just that short time, his back was soaked with sweat.
Just as his companions had told him, Little Feige knew that he now had a heavy responsibility; he had to send the news from the city out.
Xiao Feige walked all the way to the main road where the city gate was no longer visible, and then waited there.
Upon seeing a caravan pass by, he used some gold coins that his second-in-command had slipped into his pocket to buy a horse at a high price.
After that, he ran all the way to Anxi Town.
What would normally be a two-day journey, Xiao Feige spurred his horse on at breakneck speed, and he arrived in Anxi Town just as dusk was falling.
"What happened?"
The guard at the gate recognized Xiao Feige and, seeing his disheveled state, quickly went over to check on him.
"I...I..."
The sandstorm was too strong, and Xiao Feige had not eaten or drunk anything for a day, so he had some difficulty speaking.
"Have a sip of water first."
The person next to him opened the water bottle at his waist and handed it to Xiao Feige.
After taking three large gulps of wine, Xiao Feige said in a hoarse voice, "I need to see the general... Something has happened in Tongcheng..."
Xiao Feige was immediately taken to Li Wen's office.
Seeing Xiao Feige's disheveled appearance, Li Wen got up and came over with concern, asking, "What happened?"
Xiao Feige quickly recounted what had happened in Tongcheng.
After listening, Li Wen patted Xiao Feige's head and said, "You've worked hard, child."
"Go back and rest first. I know what happened... Don't worry, I will do my best to ensure their safety."
Before leaving, Xiao Feige looked at Li with pleading eyes and asked, "General! Can I come with you to rescue everyone?"
Li Wen laughed and said, "We're all still here, how can we let a child like you go on an adventure? Be good, go and rest first... I assure you, Anxi Town will never abandon any resident. You and Heishi are indispensable members of Anxi Town."
With Li Wen's comforting words, Xiao Feige stopped being stubborn and went back to rest.
"General, I'll take some men to rescue Blackstone and the others."
Jiang Tian, who was standing next to him, immediately spoke up.
Li Wen first shook his head and then nodded: "We must save them. Just like I said, we will never give up on any resident of Anxi Town."
"After Blackstone and his group joined Anxi Town, they became one of us. In Anxi Town, the human rights of every member are equal and important. Now that they are in danger, I will absolutely not sit idly by."
Li Wen first emphasized this point, then continued, "But we can't just recklessly try to rescue them. Tongcheng is considered a large city in the Western Regions, and the Anxi army only has eight hundred men. It's unrealistic for us to launch a full-scale attack to rescue them..."
Although the Anxi army was formidable in combat and was reinforced by the modern weapons and equipment brought by Li Wen, it was simply unrealistic to launch a strong attack on the city with such a small force.
Li Wen would not let the remaining brothers of the Anxi army take risks just because of his emotions.
He plans to ensure that all eight hundred of them return home in glory someday.
"Therefore, we need to outsmart them. Jiang Tian, go and bring over some people, they need to be agile, about twenty should be enough, don't make too many."
"Yes, General!"
After Jiang Tian left, Li Wen opened the double portal and returned to the modern world.
If you are outnumbered and want to rescue people from the enemy without getting hurt, you must use a clever approach.
Li Wen dialed Wang Liwei's number.
"Hey, is this Brother Wang? Do you have any business in Peshawar? I have a purchasing order that requires me to go there, but I'm unfamiliar with the area and would like to find a local guide to help me out..."
