I don't know when a rumor began to spread in the city of Basrady: the general Adlem had an affair with Palci. At first, everyone who heard it scoffed at this rumor, but this rumor still spread at an alarming speed, so that many people had to change their original intentions and began to pay attention to this rumor, and some people even portrayed it vividly.

Even if the rumors are silent about Adlem and his cronies, there is no impermeable wall, and the reason for this rumor still drifted into Adlerham's ears.

Adelim's first reaction when he heard this rumor was shock, because if it could reach his ears, it would either be really false and everyone thought that there was no need to care about it as a joke, or the rumor had spread widely to the point that everyone knew about it, and it was obvious that this rumor belonged to the latter.

In the second step, he felt frightened, because although this rumor was nonsense, it was not completely unfounded, especially when it was not far from the truth when he informed Palci that Arubania was interested in recruiting Lord Yaqui. Adlerm had indeed leaked the news behind King Qadir II's back to the Golden Court stronghold in order to prevent Arubania from getting involved in the dispute between Palchi and Yaqui, as his intelligence analysis revealed that the pirates were closely related to Palchi.

In the third step, Adlem came to his conclusion that this rumor had been spread by His Majesty's behest. Judging from the content of these rumors, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to obtain these secrets of the Arubanian court, even ordinary officials, so it can only be circulated from important officials in the court or the court. But who is the need to spread such rumors? Someone who is clearly malicious to himself.

If there was anyone in the Arubanian court who hated or disliked Adlem, he could probably name at least one cart of people, because Adrim was indeed unpleasant; But if anyone wants to frame Adlem, the number is very limited. It is strange that although Adlem is very annoying, everyone does not think very badly of him, even those who are jealous of him sitting on the throne of the general. Then only those who have a real conflict of interest with themselves would resort to this practice against themselves, and among these people Elius Urdas and King Dikar are the most suspicious.

Judging from the bizarre degree of this rumor, the first impression of ordinary people must be unbelievable, but this rumor is still spreading at an alarming speed, so there must be someone behind it, but who is the person behind the scenes? If it were not for His Majesty's acquiescence, the King could have made overtures to Adrim by stopping this rumour, and Adrim would have to show his loyalty to the King even if he did not want to, but His Majesty did not do so. Then at least it can prove that Dicard knows the inside story and secretly supports it.

In this way, the reason for this incident is clear, and Dicard wants to use the effect of this rumor to turn into public opinion to force himself to resign from the post of general.

Adlerham felt that his inference, although unsubstantiated, was quite plausible. After thinking about it, Adlem immediately laughed with relief, and muttered to himself, "Maybe this is a good time to unload this burden." ”

The next day Adham submitted his resignation to His Majesty, claiming that he was old and sick, and that there were rumors against him, and that his return to the position of General might bring shame on the King and the court, and therefore asked His Majesty to grant him permission to return to his homeland.

Adlem's move was also in a sense a means of testing King Dikal, if his inference was correct, then no matter how much Dikal pretended to keep himself, he would definitely agree to this resignation in the end, of course, he himself did not particularly care about losing this title.

As he had expected, Dikal relentlessly tried to keep him, and finally granted his request to return to his hometown.

Adlem, who has been in the army for decades and suddenly became unofficial and light overnight, still feels a little sad, not that he is nostalgic for the relationship of this status, but that he feels that the king's jealousy of himself has reached such a sinister point, fortunately he withdrew in time, otherwise he will continue to stay in office and make the king feel uneasy, I am afraid that I don't know which day he will be poisoned, this time the king is still a mercial, and he did not move seriously towards himself, the hero who supported his succession.

Compared with himself who is about to return to his hometown to live a quiet life, Adlerm is more worried about his son Arufa. As a general, Arufa has many advantages, but he lacks actual combat experience. Now that the skin has been torn with Palci, then the war is only a matter of time. Judging from the battle report of the offensive and defensive battle of the Barud Fortress this time, Li Tianhao is indeed as brave and terrifying as the rumors, if he hadn't made the arrangements earlier, I am afraid that Gilmus of the Barud Fortress would have been captured and killed a long time ago. In the face of such a sharp opponent, whether his son can cope with it is really worrying and fearful for the father. For this reason, while preparing to return to his hometown, Adham also took a lot of effort to compile his experience in using the army into a book, and before leaving, he handed it to his son for him to study carefully.

However, just as he was about to leave for his homeland, news came that Dikar would soon appoint him as commander-in-chief of the southwestern frontier of the empire, and that his son Arufa would be his lieutenant to strengthen the military forces in the region.

Now that the war with Palchi has begun, it is in the actual interests of Arubania to put a talent like Adlem in the southwest region bordering Palchi as commander-in-chief. However, what puzzled Adlerm was that according to the intelligence, Dikal himself did not mean this, but rather the result of his secret mistress Sula blowing a pillow wind on him.

You must know that this Sula has never had any contact with Adlem, and even dislikes Adlem, because when she took Gilmus to Arubania, Adlerm had strongly opposed King Dikal's acceptance of their mother and son, and Sulla has always been angry about it, and said a lot of bad things about Adlerm behind Dikal's back. This time, Adlem moved the army without authorization, although it offended King Dikal, but in terms of the result, it did save Gilmus's life, so Sula also reciprocated and interceded for Adlem in front of Dikal, which made Dikal change his mind and appoint Adlem as the border general.

Just when Aderim was feeling embarrassed about this matter, he received an invitation from Sulla, inviting his father and son to a banquet at Sulla's mansion.

"This is not a good thing, this woman seems to want to use my old bones," Adlem looked at his son Arufa and said with a wry smile: "People interceded for your father, and we should all thank her, right?" (To be continued.) )
