After confirming the true identity of the "big man", Julian rushed downstairs without a moment's delay.

In front of the courtyard gate of the villa, hundreds of imperial soldiers lined up, although they did not show their weapons, but still made people feel the fierce murderous aura; in contrast, the owner of the villa in the door, Duchess Victoria Rousseau, and more than 20 mercenaries standing behind her, looked alone and helpless.

Although she was frightened by the emperor's military strength, and she was a woman, Victoria's old body trembled slightly, but in order to maintain her husband's dignity and protect her son who was hiding in the house, Victoria bravely carried it directly with the imperial general.

"General Bazak Menavino, what do you mean by this?

"Madame, please forgive us for our rudeness. I'm not saying that Madame is harboring criminals, maybe Madame doesn't even know about you, and the gang of gangsters may have sneaked back a few days ago. Please let us in, it's for your safety. ”

"My safety has been protected by these mercenaries, and what happened a few days ago has proved that they are enough to protect me, and I don't bother with it. ”

"Madam, I'm also on business. Otherwise, I'll let the soldiers stay here and I'll go in and check by myself. It's just a confirmation, and it doesn't take much time for the lady. ”

"There's nothing to confirm about this, and I said no, no, general, please go back. ”

"Please don't embarrass me. Madam. ”

"Then what do you want to do? No one is allowed in!"

Victoria gave an order, and the mercenaries behind him showed off a variety of weapons. Although they knew that there was a huge disparity in strength, in order to maintain the reputation of the mercenary group, they had no choice but to bite the bullet.

Bazak had the impression that the wife of the Grand Duke of Rousseau was supposed to be a very weak woman, but now she was so tough that she called out an imperial general was somewhat surprising. But this also confirms another thing: although the Grand Duke Rousseau was in charge of the foreign affairs of the empire, his wife obviously had no diplomatic acumen, nor did she know how to negotiate.

Faced with this, Bazak smiled, and instead of speaking, he turned and walked back to his troops. Victoria breathed a sigh of relief, believing that the Empire's famous general had been scared away by her intransigence, but she immediately realized that she was wrong, and she was very wrong.

Another person came out of the army, he was not a soldier, but an elder dressed in aristocratic clothing, and his aura was extraordinary. Victoria was stupid on the spot, and her mouth couldn't be closed with her mouth wide open.

For this man was none other than her husband: Grand Duke Mikoyan Rousseau.

The Grand Duke put his hands behind his back, swept over with extremely stern eyes, and went directly past his wife, "whipping" the mercenaries behind. The mercenaries understood what the Grand Duke meant, and put away their weapons one after another, ending the tense confrontation.

Although these mercenaries get along with the Duchess day and night and obey the Lady's orders, that is only their task, and the Grand Duke is their real employer, so when the orders of the two conflict, the latter must prevail.

"Victoria, what are you doing here?" said Archduke Rousseau, standing at the door of the courtyard of the villa, looking up at the luxurious house, and asked his wife in a very casual tone.

"I, I ......"

As a place of self-cultivation, Victoria was of course here, but she stammered and couldn't say anything. The momentum she had just faced with General Menavino disappeared in an instant, and she returned to her original weak and unassertive woman. She didn't ask very strictly, just said a casual word, which was already an irresistible order for Victoria, and she never thought about it, and she didn't know how to oppose her husband, and her mind was blank and helpless for a while.

"Mother!"

Behind the mercenary, a young man's voice suddenly sounded. Everyone looked over together, and sure enough, they saw a young man in his early 20s standing there, with a terrible centipede-shaped scar on his originally handsome face, although he did not carry any weapons in his hands, but from that straight standing, he could see that he was a martial artist with extraordinary willpower.

The mercenaries were also shocked, they did not expect, and had never seen, that in the villa they were responsible for protecting, there was such a stranger hidden, all of them holding their blades on guard.

"Julian, how could it be you!"

Grand Duke Rousseau never expected that it was not the most vicious criminals who ran out of the villa, but his own son.

In fact, a few days ago, after learning that the gangsters were trying to attack his wife's villa, Mikoyan was worried that the gangsters would return, so he hurriedly wrote to the headquarters of the "Red Flying Snake" mercenary group to ask for additional manpower. However, before he could wait for the reinforcements sent by the mercenary group, he received a report from the mercenaries guarding the villa: Madame suddenly forbade everyone to enter the third floor, and even did not allow the mercenaries to do their daily security work, and only allowed her maid Abel to go up to the third floor to serve;

This report made the Grand Duke Rousseau break out in a cold sweat, his worries have come true, there must be unscrupulous guests hiding on the third floor where Victoria lived, and those people are the mysterious villains who turned the imperial capital upside down, and as for his wife, she must be under duress. With this speculation, Grand Duke Rousseau enlisted the help of General Bazak Menavino, who was chasing the villains that day. Although Grand Duke Rousseau was at odds with the military, he would not turn to a general for help unless he had to, but fortunately he knew that Bazak was very popular and did not get along with him like other generals, so he took the risk.

But how could Mikoyan have imagined that things would turn to such a point?

Julian was also puzzled. No matter how accurate the guess was, he didn't want to believe it was true until he saw it with his own eyes. His father originally couldn't get along with the military, but now he stands with a general, which shows that the two have reached an agreement on certain interests, and there is still a shady political deal. Thinking of this, Julian felt a chill.

&n

bsp; Julian turned his head away from his father, but the son's unfriendly behavior also angered his father, and the quarrel between father and son in the inn some time ago added fuel to the fire. Grand Duke Rousseau glared angrily at his son as if he wanted to eat people.

The father and son, who have been separated for ten years, are like enemies. General Bazak Menavino, who was a bystander, was also surprised, but not surprised, after all, the temper of the Grand Duke Rousseau was well known in the Empire.

"Ha, I didn't expect it, it turns out that this is Ling Gongzi. Bazak broke the deadlock between the father and the son in time and acted as a peacemaker, "But I heard that Ling Gongzi is the Pope's envoy, and this time he returned to the empire with a special mission from the Pope, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

"That's true. Julian replied.

Faced with the opponent who fought him for life and death a few days ago, the opponent may not recognize him, but Julian still felt the great pressure, and he used his tenacious willpower to try to make his appearance as calm as possible, so as not to show his feet.

"Then the envoy must be on a mission now. Bazak probed further.

"Nope. Some time ago there was a riot in St. Pope's Island, and presumably the generals had heard about it. His Holiness the Pope has passed away, and my special mission has been temporarily suspended. Right now I'm on vacation. Julian bluntly cut off Bazak's desire to continue on the topic of the so-called "special mission".

Sure enough, Bazak paused for a moment, he didn't expect Julian to answer like this, and he didn't think about how to take it at once.

Immediately afterwards, Julian seized the opportunity of Bazak's failure to come back to his senses and took the initiative to seize the right to speak: "I quietly returned to my mother, and told her not to let anyone know that I had returned, in order to prepare for an important event. I didn't expect that such a misunderstanding would bring to the general. I'm sorry. ”

"What's the big deal?" didn't tell whether her son's words were true or false, and Victoria rushed straight out.

Julian took a breath and said, "When I came back this time, I was actually getting married. For such an important event, I wanted to surprise my relatives, so I had to keep it a secret. ”

"What!" exclaimed Mikoyan and Victoria at the same time, and the husband and wife looked at each other.

"It turned out to be such a happy event. Then I wish Master Julian here. But since it's a wedding, why don't you see the bride?" Bazak looked slightly into the distant room.

"My fiancée is in the house. Although I want to maintain a sense of mystery, but 'the ugly woman needs to see the family man eventually', since the paper can't contain the fire, it doesn't hurt to let her come out and make a little appearance. I have arranged her in the study, and the general asks me to come with me. ”

Julian made a "please" gesture and turned to walk towards the villa.

He did exactly what Ipeia had taught him a few minutes earlier, when Julian was surprised and embarrassed to hear that Ipeia had told him in front of his parents that he was going to get married, but when he did, it was smooth, but he had a feeling that his heart was falling.

"Good. The girl who can be worthy of the young master of the Rousseau family must be a noble and beautiful young lady. I'd like to see it too. Bazak did not shirk, and strode after Julian, walking side by side with him.

Out of politeness, Bazak handed over the terrifying meteor hammer to the soldiers for safekeeping before stepping into the courtyard, wielding only a short sword.

Mikoyan and Victoria, who were parents, followed behind. Victoria rubbed her hands together and smiled sweetly on her face, whispering in her mouth, "Thank you, Lord forbid, Julian is married." Mikoyan, on the other hand, still had that frightening face.

In that short distance of more than ten meters, Julian kept repeating in his heart the conversation he had with Ipeia before leaving the third floor.

......

"If you say you want to see your fiancée, Bazak will not bring soldiers in, otherwise it would be rude. As long as you take Bazak to the study, I'll take care of the rest. After the order, Ipeia smiled sweetly.

The smile may have been charming to others, but Julian shuddered. Because he understands that behind this smile lies a heavy murderous purpose. When he was asked to assassinate the Imperial Prince, he set a trap to annihilate the "Sun-Eater Pupil", and Ipeia smiled the same.

"Miss, it's time to tell me your true intentions, right?" This time Julian couldn't fully trust Ipeya, after all, it was related to his relatives, "You want to set a trap against General Menavino, but I'm afraid this trap is not just for the general alone?"

"Huh, do you have any questions?"

"I know that both the general and my father are men of Yulie, Prince of Mercardenburg, and if you want to deal with the Prince of Meccarden, you must first cut off his arm. Now is the perfect time to kill two birds with one stone, and to get rid of the two right-hand men of the Prince of Mercardenburg at the same time. Right?"

"Don't be nervous. That's right, the concubine wants to bring down Yulie, but it doesn't mean that she wants to harm others. Since the Grand Duke Rousseau is your father, how can the concubine hurt him?"

Julian didn't answer, and he was silent for a few seconds. Ipeia knew that he didn't distrust him, but that he was genuinely worried about his father. So she took two steps, pressed his chest lightly with her bare hand, and said softly: "If you don't believe it, the concubine will use her life as a guarantee." If there is one hair missing from the Grand Duke's body, please take the life of the concubine. ”

......

Thinking back to this, Julie was relieved and uneasy, he could not predict what action Ipeia would take, although she had promised to protect his father's thoroughness, but in the political struggle, he could not be too convinced that one side would admit that sacrifice was inevitable.

The heavy uneasiness made him a little absent-minded, so much so that he almost didn't notice the punch that slammed into him.

Kankan reached out and parried the giant fist to avoid a direct blow to his temple, but because the reaction was too hasty, the defense was not strong enough, and the wrist of the block ached faintly.

Before Julian could recover his strength, the opponent swept him to the waist with a heavy kick.

Julian slid a few times in a row, barely avoiding that

It was enough to sweep his spine away, but before he could get to his feet, he took advantage of the momentum and threw two fists sideways, hitting Julian's face and lower abdomen from both up and down.

It is unknown why Bazak would attack him, but Julian understands that he can only fight with all his might. Unarmed, he used a few hand-to-hand combat techniques he had learned from Owen; He had no intention of drawing the short sword at his waist, and it seemed that he was going to use his fists and feet to get Julian to submit.

The giant punches and heavy kicks mercilessly covered Julian's weakness, and Julian saw the move, and after the two of them exchanged several moves, Bazak let out a loud shout, condensed the strength of his whole body into his left fist, and smashed Julian's heart with one punch. Julian hurriedly crossed his hands in front of his chest.

Only a loud "bang" was heard, and Julian was beaten back more than ten steps in a row.

Although his hands hurt terribly, Julian knew that he had succeeded in slowing down the strength of his opponent's full punch. And Bazak also stopped, and there was no more hostile action, as if the experienced general judged that the fight of fists and feet alone could not suppress Julian in a short time.

Although the fight between the two was fierce, it was actually only a few seconds, and for Mikoyan and Victoria, who were ordinary people, by the time they reacted, the fight was already over.

"Julian!"

The sudden change took the elderly couple by surprise, but the couple's reaction was completely different.

The crying mother rushed to her son's side: "It doesn't matter, right?

The angry father rushed at the general: "What are you going to do! Didn't you warn you not to hurt my family?"
