I have to say that the news of Horus's imminent defeat flew everywhere as soon as he had wings, and even he himself never thought that such a thing would happen. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Maybe someone in the army was using a magic communicator to send a message, maybe there was a hostile spy lurking near the battlefield, and the news just got out.

Moreover, the current situation is beyond Horus's personal control, and even Count Sidfi, who has just arrived in the imperial capital, has also received the news.

At this moment, Count Sidfi, who was meeting with the Grand Duke of "Viper" behind closed doors, was simply restless, he didn't understand how he provoked Xia Zhe, and he didn't know why Xia Zhe was able to defeat his army (although it was not completely defeated).

Therefore, Count Sidfe, who originally wanted to discuss with the Duke about marrying the princess, naturally shifted the topic to his own territory.

"Lord Duke, what is the origin of this Xia Zhe, why does he want to target my territory, doesn't he know that this is a serious provocation to the empire?" Sidfi felt that the expressionless duke in front of him must be looking at himself as a joke, even if the two sides are now comrades on the same front, but when this duke really ascends to the throne, a local lord like himself who holds a lot of power will definitely be the target of his key attack.

However, now is not the time to think about this, as long as the duke's seat is not secured, then he needs his own strength.

However, Count Sidfi never thought that the Duke and Xia Zhe had been sold clean by the Duke when they were arguing in the same study. If it weren't for Xia Zhe's uncommon sense to reject the temptation of a country, maybe the duke would be sending troops to attack him with Xia Zhe now.

"Don't worry, Lord Earl, after all, the other party is just a person, not an army, even if he takes Angus City, he will not be able to occupy the entire western border, and he will still leave there in the end. And the specific situation is not very clear, so don't take that kind of gossip to heart. The duke was sloppy and wanted to prevaricate the other party.

It's just that under the insistence of the other party, the duke had to promise the other party to let the governor of the Western Realm fully cooperate with the West Defei family to deal with Xia Zhe.

The talks ended hastily because of Xia Zhe, and Sidfi, who wanted to return to the territory, also chose to stay in the imperial capital temporarily because of Princess Dani and the duke's assurance.

It's a pity that the duke and earl can't think of what Xia Zhe is doing, because they don't have detailed information, and they still use their previous knowledge of Xia Zhe to predict the behavior of the disaster.

"Unexpectedly, Xia Zhe actually ran to the territory of Sidfi, are those guys who follow him stupid? Kaimmorton, deal with them all, I don't need a subordinate who can't even do such a simple thing. Although the duke didn't care much about Xia Zhe's deal with the Sidfi family, he still felt that not being able to control that man would make him uneasy, so the old duke, who had no choice but to take Xia Zhe for the time being, could only use his own men to vent his anger.

"Uncle, will Xia Zhe deliberately go to the west for the princess, you must know that the earl's reputation is not very good, maybe, this will make Xia Zhe very dissatisfied, after all, the princess and Xia Zhe are good friends. Jackmorton sarcastically mocked Sidfi and his uncle with some schadenfreude, as if it were a very funny thing.

However, the duke didn't think so, because of his nephew's words, the old man finally found something, "Let the people of that organization immediately go to Xia Zhe with their toys, I suddenly have a premonition that if I let that man continue, something very bad may happen." ”

The duke's intuition was very correct, but he had a serious underestimation of Xia Zhe's ability to find trouble, but even if he really knew what Xia Zhe wanted to do, he didn't have a good way to stop the other party, especially in the empire, which was the key to the moment.

……

The picture turns back to Xia Zhe's side, for the possible reaction of the empire, in fact, Kun is also prepared, Xia Zhe has not let him make a move, on the one hand, to hide his strength, and on the other hand, he wants to use him as the last killer weapon to deal with some possible situations.

However, judging from the current situation, the situation that is really worth Xia Zhe's action is even more difficult than defeating the empire, who made Xia Zhe's small team have so many powerful women, and even Kun vaguely felt that the woman called Black Rose, and Concubine Xiang, who was covered in pink and looked immature, were far stronger than he guessed.

However, whenever Kun wanted to learn about their situation with Xia Zhe, there would always be some unexpected circumstances that stopped him, such as now, the terrible old man who had just fought against Concubine Xiang on the battlefield flew in front of Xia Zhe with a bear child.

Kun, who had just finished the noon celebration banquet, thought it was an enemy attack after seeing the humanoid creatures flying in, but when he saw Xia Zhe's helpless wry smile, he shrugged his shoulders and lifted his guard.

"Xia Zhe, you didn't do anything to make Black Rose unhappy, if you did, I could feel it, so don't try to lie to me. The blonde man who was thrown down from mid-air by the old man smashed straight in front of Xia Zhe, and this guy who didn't look like a normal brain was worthy of his appearance, so he stood up and pointed at Xia Zhe and shouted.

It wasn't until an ordinary dry old man landed smoothly behind the blonde man, and after he knocked the man to the ground again with the crystal ball-shaped magic guide in his hand, Xia Zhe's smile became a little more natural.

"Caesar, can't you stop for a moment, ah... Xia Zhe, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you remember the old decay?"

Looking at the iconic hooked nose that suddenly enlarged in front of him, Xia Zhe could only push the other party away with a wry smile and nodded, "Old man Locke...... Why are you here?"

Subconsciously said hello, Xia Zhe suddenly jumped up, "It turns out that you are fine, Ida and Old Man Reggie are very worried about you, and they haven't come to her for so long, but she has been sad about that incident again." ”

Hearing the name Ida, Locke raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect that Black Rose and Xia Zhe had developed to this point, you must know that the entire Dark War Regiment, except for the head Baron, and the deputy head Balfit, only himself and Caesar know the real name of Black Rose.

However, Xia Zhe didn't understand this, he just kicked away some obstacles at his feet with some excitement, and then pulled Locke and walked towards the position of Black Rose, and at the same time he said to Kun and Golia, "This is Black Rose's friend, don't worry, I'll take them to find her." ”

That's it, now it became Locke who followed behind Xia Zhe with a wry smile, this feeling of being pulled by a young man is honestly very bad, especially since the other party also exerted a lot of force, as if he wanted to shake away his old guy.

As for Caesar, who flew to the side, as if nothing happened, he raised his legs and chased after him, "Damn Xia Zhe, you treat me like this, that Black Rose must have been bullied by you, wait for me." ”

Listening to Caesar's angry voice, Xia Zhe suddenly turned back to Old Locke and said, "Have you ever thought about letting him learn physical arts? ”

Xia Zhe's words once again made Old Locke's wry smile look like an "embarrassment".
