Volume 17 Chapter 2465 Special Envoy of Culture
Jiang Nianzu's flight base was bombed beyond recognition, and the soldiers who could still remain calm at the beginning were already panicked at this time... In such a chaotic situation, Jiang Nianzu should have come out to take charge of the overall situation. After all, he is the supreme commander of this army. But Hu You couldn't wait for Jiang Nianzu to appear. He seemed to be no longer in the base and had no intention of showing up at all.
This time, Hu You really guessed the beginning of the matter, but did not guess the result of the matter. The purpose of his stay was to wait for Jiang Nianzu, but until the end, Jiang Nianzu did not appear.
In the current chaotic situation at the flight base, if Hu You had a strong army in his hand, he would definitely be able to eat them tightly. Even if he could not eliminate them all, he would at least not be able to fight again. Unfortunately, he has the time but no place to defend himself. The city of Hope is not enough, and it is impossible to draw troops out to attack actively. Hu You's other troops are still on the way back to aid. Unless a large transport spacecraft and a group of people bring them all back, it would be impossible to catch up.
Sometimes, you can't be too greedy. This time, Hu You has brought a huge blow to Jiang Nianzu's troops. After that, even if Jiang Nianzu still has the ability to continue attacking City of Hope, he will no longer be able to defeat the previous violent situation. City of Hope You have escaped another disaster. In this regard, Hu You has made a big profit.
If you continue to wait, you may not get anything. Instead, you may fall into danger. Hu You decided to go back to the City of Hope to take charge of the overall situation. In short, Jiang Nianzu will not die for a day, and the war with Jiang Nianzu will not end in one day, and there will always be a battle.
Just as Hu You was about to return to the City of Hope first, a black dot in the air attracted Hu You's attention. At the beginning, the black dot was still far away, and even with Hu You's eyesight, he couldn't see clearly what it was. When the black dot became bigger and bigger, Hu You could see its appearance more and more clearly.
It was a spaceship, definitely, and not a spaceship in the martial world!
When the spacecraft hovered over the base, Hu You's heart also rose. Before, Hu You always thought that the literary world had only inputted flying mechas to the martial world and did not directly intervene in the war in the martial world. Now it seems that it is not the case. People in the literary world not only inputted the terrible war martial world from the martial world, but also directly intervened in the war.
How would this spacecraft explain?
"It turns out that those generous treatments to soldiers were not what Jiang Nianzu meant, but what people in the literary world meant."
It was not until now that Hu You woke up and felt that the post-war relaxation, the officer-level enjoyment in the canteen, and the billiards rice and other treatments were not thought of by Jiang Nianzu, but the request of the people in the literary world.
What about the soldiers? Are the soldiers on the flying mecha from Jiang Nianzu or just from the literary world?
Hu You turned his mind desperately and recalled the contact with those soldiers. He didn't think about it before. Now he thinks about it, the more he feels that they are slightly different from ordinary soldiers in the martial arts world. It seems that they are probably soldiers from the literary world directly.
************************************************************
Hu You finally chose to leave. He now has no understanding of the situation in the literary world. Even if he took the risk to check it, he would not be able to find any locks. Moreover, the City of Hope must not know about this information. It is not realistic to do anything immediately. The food must be eaten one bite after another. The most important thing now is stability.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Hu You got a speed vehicle in the base, and rushed back to the City of Hope overnight. Before dawn, he finally returned to this familiar city.
"Hu You." Hongye didn't expect Hu You to come back so soon. This was a big surprise for her. She also loved such surprises very much. Of course, what made her happiest was Hu You's safety.
"Thank you for your hard work." Hu You hugged Hongye tightly. He owed Hu You so much that he could not pay it back in this life. I don't know if there is another life. If so, Hu You must continue to pay it back.
"It's good to come back. You haven't eaten yet, I'll make it for you." In front of the soldiers, Hongye was a majestic general, but in front of Hu You, she was just a woman.
"You don't have to be busy anymore, I'm not hungry. I've ordered someone to recruit Liu Bodu and the others to have a meeting in twenty minutes. You can come with me."
"Okay." Hongye didn't ask what the content of the meeting was. After changing his clothes, he immediately went to the conference room with Hu You.
On this side of the conference room, Liu Bodu, Bai Zirui, Song Changmao and other senior generals from the City of Hope, and He Fuqiang, who had just escaped from death, had arrived, and it didn't take twenty minutes at all.
"Since everyone has arrived, let's start." Hu You looked around everyone. These are the teams he has built in the martial arts world for nearly ten years, and are also trustworthy brothers and sisters.
"Hu You, have you made any new discoveries?" He Fuqiang couldn't help asking. He didn't expect Hu You to come back so soon, and he didn't even take a sip of water, so he immediately gathered for a meeting. With his understanding of Hu You, something big must have happened.
Hu You nodded and said, "Before the meeting begins, I will inform you of the information I have. In fact, to sum up, it is just a sentence - people in the literary world may have directly joined the battle."
"What?" Liu Bodu and others were all shocked. This was very shocking news for them. Everyone in the martial arts world is aware of what is going on now. If the literary world has really sent troops in, that is to say, the people in the literary world have already gone bare-handedly, and in this way, the martial arts world will become.
"I don't want this to be true either, but I saw the armed spacecraft of the literary world in Jiang Nianzu's flight base, and there are also..."
Hu You said everything he saw in the base. This is what everyone will know sooner or later. It cannot be hidden, and it cannot be hidden. If you want to defeat the enemies from the literary world, everyone must work together.
"So, it's very likely that he is a real person in the literary world. By the way, isn't Ma Lili from the literary world? She might know more."
There was no Ma Lili at this meeting. After all, Ma Lili is not the City of Hope or Hu You's subordinates and comrades-in-arms. It is impossible for him to directly participate in such an important meeting.
"I'll find an opportunity to confirm it to her, regardless of whether that's true or not. We all have to prepare early."
************************************************************
The enemy's flying mechas were finally gone above the City of Hope. Although the war has not ended, the people are indeed much more relaxed than before.
After Hu Youle, she did not go to find Ma Lili directly. This time, Ma Lili has experienced a lot of things and has been drugged, so she needs to be given some rest time.
"Why are you so kind to take me out to play?" Ma Lili, who got enough rest, looked a lot more energetic. Her long eyelashes were shining by the sun, and she was a little charming.
"We're just walking around casually. Didn't you say you haven't seen this city well?" Hu You smiled. He had been in contact with Ma Lili for a certain period of time. He knew that he wanted to know something from Ma Lili. He couldn't just come directly. He had to coax her first before she could tell what she knew, otherwise she wouldn't say anything even if she knew.
"So good?" Ma Lili tilted her head for a while and said, "You must have something to ask me for."
"I really want to ask you, will you help me?" Hu You asked as he said.
"That depends on my mood." Ma Lili was heartless and proud. Speaking of which, this is also a combination of contradictions. This woman is sometimes too smart and sometimes too stupid to death, but if she really treats her as a fool, she will treat herself as a fool.
"Then may I ask this girl: Are you in a beautiful mood now?" Hu You asked exaggeratedly. That is, Hu You no longer pursues girls, otherwise with his understanding and means of women, he would marry ten or eight of them now, and there would be no problem at all.
"Who is old? Are they very old?" Ma Lili immediately glared at her, but the corners of her eyes still betrayed her. Only those who are really happy will have that special crow's feet.
She accompanied Ma Lili to wander around the city. Although it was not intentional, she still saw many ruins along the way. The crying from time to time made Ma Lili dare not laugh casually even if she was in a good mood.
"This teahouse should be open. Let's go up and sit down." Ma Lili took the initiative to suggest.
This is a lucky teahouse, with signs of being blown up behind and on the right, especially the five or six buildings behind it collapsed, and in the middle it was nothing.
I don’t know if the war is over yet, but not many people are in the mood to come to the teahouse to have tea. When Hu You and Ma Lili came in, most of the sittings were empty.
It was a habit that Hu You asked for a seat next to the window. There should be a good scenery outside the window, but when you look around, it is full of traces of war.
Hu You sighed long and said, "War has caused too much damage to humans, but unfortunately humans can never truly end the war."
************************************************************
"I have also visited this street and drank tea. You can tell me what you are doing." Ma Lili was not very interested in tea, and she was more curious about Hu You's real purpose.
"Actually, with your intelligence, you should be able to guess." Hu You said: "What I want to ask you is about the literary world."
"Oh, then what do you want to know?" Ma Lili didn't know if she was in a smart state or was stupid, and she didn't want to avoid it.
"I want to know what you think of Jiang Nianzu Base." Hu You said: "Especially those pilots of flying mechas, what do you think?"
Ma Lili's eyes suddenly became serious, she sat upright and said, "What do you want to express these words?"
Hu You looked at Ma Lili's eyes and said, "I suspect that those drivers are from the literary world. You are also from the literary world. You should be able to see some clues, right?"
Ma Lili smiled and said, "You should remember that I once told you that people in the literary and martial arts world are immigrants from the same place. In essence, there is no difference between the people on both sides."
"Of course I remember this, but I also know that different living environments, different educations, and even different living habits can make people subtle differences. So you can still distinguish between people. You have seen it long ago, right?"
"Okay." Ma Lili sighed: "I knew you would definitely find it. Yes, those drivers are indeed soldiers in the literary world."
"Are they from your Linhe Empire?" Hu You did not force Ma Lili to know why she didn't say it in the morning. She did not have the obligation to take the initiative to say it. It is not a mistake to say it or not.
"Yes, not." Ma Lili replied strangely.
Hu You frowned and said, "What do you think of this?"
Ma Lili hesitated and said, "I don't know if I should tell you this at this time. Maybe the time is not yet, maybe you should know earlier."
If it were someone else, it would be difficult for him to understand what Ma Lili wanted to say, but Hu You understood it. He seemed to be thinking about something in his mind, and finally made a decision.
"You mean: Are you not the princess of Linhe Empire?" Hu You said in a word. Ma Lili's explanation of her identity has always been from the princess of Linhe Empire in the literary world. This identity has always been accepted by everyone, but now Hu You exposes Ma Lili's statement.
Ma Lili looked at Hu You deeply and smiled bitterly: "Hu You is indeed Hu You, you can see everything like this. Yes, I have made up all the things I told you before. I am not the princess of the Linhe Empire."
The pilot of the flying mecha was a soldier of the Linhe Empire, while Ma Lili was not the princess of the Linhe Empire. Can anyone think of this before?
In fact, Hu You didn't expect it at the beginning. But before entering Jiang Nianzu base, Ma Lili said that she could match the flying mecha, Hu You began to doubt it, knowing that it was not a special skill that a princess should master.
Since then, Hu You began to observe Ma Lili intentionally or unintentionally, and more and more clues were found. In addition, Ma Lili's previous words, he indirectly confirmed Hu You's conjecture. Only then did he suddenly reveal Ma Lili's identity directly.
"If I don't point it out, how long will you be hiding it?" Hu You asked plainly. Everyone has a reason to do everything, and Hu You are not doing it yet. Is there too many secrets that have not been made public?
"Actually, I know. I can't cheat for long, and I don't plan to continue cheating for long."
***************************************************************
Ma Lili, sitting opposite Hu You, has become a different person, or this is the true appearance of Ma Lili. The weaker and more artificial things in the past are completely gone, and replaced by a shrewd woman.
"I will get to know you for the official: I am Ma Lili, the special envoy from the Light Empire of the Cultural Realm." Ma Lili stretched out her delicate hand. At this time, she had already released her deliberate suppressed temperament. Although she no longer had the halo of the princess, it was more attractive than before. Such a changeable woman is cute and terrifying.
"Is the name real?" Hu You's expressionless face, shook hands with Ma Lili gently without any joy or sorrow.
"Yes, the name is true. In fact, there is indeed a princess named Ma Lili in the Linhe Empire."
"Can you tell me about the Empire of Light?" Hu You asked. He was not anxious to ask Ma Lili about her purpose in the martial arts world. Since Ma Lili had already stated her identity, she would definitely say her purpose. Asking questions requires skill to know more. In this regard, Hu You is an expert figure.
"I remember I told you before: There are three major forces in the literary world. No matter what I said before, what I told you now is the most real situation."
There are three major forces in the literary world, namely the Light Empire, the Linhe Empire, and the Dark Empire. These three forces are almost evenly matched and have been fighting each other for many years, but no one can do anything to anyone.
"In fact, there is more battle between our Light Empire and the Dark Empire, while the Linhe Empire is neutral most of the time, and both sides do not help, but both sides benefit."
"You will come to the martial arts world. This situation must have changed." Although Hu You didn't know the specific details of the battle between the Three Kingdoms, he could guess the general direction.
"Yes, as you said, the situation has begun to change in recent years. The Linhe Empire and the Dark Empire are getting closer and closer. Although they have not joined forces openly, they have done a lot of things in the secret, which makes our Light Empire difficult to live."
"So you came to the martial arts world?" Hu You seemed to skip one question and asked the next question directly, but he knew that Ma Lili would add the previous content first.
Ma Lili smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, about a year ago, we accidentally discovered that the Linhe Empire was actually connected to the martial world, which is a big deal for us."
"It's really not small. If the Linhe Empire really joins forces with the Black Empire, plus the resources from the Martial Realm, your Light Empire is not far from destruction." Hu You, who has been in Tianfeng Continent for more than 20 years, is very familiar with the battles on the empire.
"So you should be able to guess the real purpose of my visit to the martial arts world." Ma Lili took a sip of the tea ceremony. Talking to a smart person like Hu You is really easy. Hu You already knows many things without saying them, but it is also a very stressful thing. If you accidentally say something slips away, you will expose more things to Hu You. As long as Hu You analyzes it in depth, you will know more.
"You want to find an agent in the martial arts world to help you delay the development of the Linhe Empire in the martial arts world. I'm right."
************************************************************
Another mystery was solved. Hu You seemed to know more things, but the things you don’t know also increased a lot. The ancients had long said: The more you know, the more you realize that you are ignorant.
Ma Lili's identity changed from a princess of the Linhe Empire to an envoy of the Light Empire. This change in identity brought about a change in the entire situation. This was an opportunity for Hu You, not a greater challenge, or even a terrible trap. It is hard to say now.
"Hu You, you are a smart person. You should see clearly the current situation in the martial arts world. Jiang Nianzu is your enemy, but to put it bluntly, he is just a chess piece of the Linhe Empire. It is so difficult for you to deal with a chess, let alone face the Linhe Empire directly. If you are willing, I can help you. As long as you can become the agent of our Light Empire, you will get our assistance. By that time, you will no longer need to be afraid of Jiang Nianzu."
"Did you start to convince me?" Hu You smiled and said, "Whether you are talking about the princess of Linhe Empire or the special envoy of the Light Empire, you are all saying it. Which one is true or which one is false. To be honest, I really can't tell the difference. If we don't talk about the martial arts world, just talk about this city of hope. The lives of millions of people in this city are in my hands. How dare I take it out so easily?"
Hu You is not a business genius, but how to get what he wants from the other party’s pocket is a skill that he has been using since childhood. Ma Lili’s prospects for the future are quite beautiful, but for Hu You, it is just a big cake, and it cannot be eaten or touched. If you want to move him, you must come up with something more affordable.
"Then how do you want to cooperate with us?" Ma Lili said: "As a friend, I want to remind you that you are not our only choice, but we are your only choice, so don't try to ask too much, be careful not to get anything in the end."
Hu You laughed and said, "You are not friends enough. Being a friend is not so scary. I haven't even figured out who you are, so why do you have to treat you as the only choice? Besides, it's not me that I can beat Jiang Nianzu in this martial arts world, but I'm not the only choice. You tell me who else can you choose?"
"This is not what we should argue today." Ma Lili felt Hu You's powerful momentum and did not confront Hu You's tit-for-tat.
"That's right." Hu You smiled and said, "Then what do you think the main direction we should discuss is?"
"First of all, it must be the possibility of cooperation." Ma Lili said: "We are very sincere."
"Okay, I'm very sincere, but before cooperating, I always have to know your strength first." (To be continued...)
