Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Beginning of the Storm, a Strong Coalition (Hope Collection.)

When everyone went back, they didn't get on the bronze carriage again, a relatively ordinary gold-painted carriage waited outside the main hall, the lion pattern carved on it symbolized the identity of the royal family, and the flag on the roof of the car was a red background golden lion pattern, Xu Cheng felt that this should be the family flag of the Ed family, and at the same time symbolized the king's life status.

The carriage was much faster than the original bronze carriage, which, of course, made the carriage more bumpy on the way.

Li Zhi pondered Ed's last words, it was obvious that he was explaining his position, the joint operation of the king's army and the forces of the Guangming Society had already become a certain result, but there were some aspects that he was bound to ensure.

(I don't know what you think, but if you know a little about ancient politics, you should know that the rulers of ancient times have always been extremely strict in controlling the development of religion, and most of the political systems in ancient times advocated the policy of ignoring the people, which was mainly to facilitate the control of the minds of the people at the bottom, and the factor that most likely to shake the foundation of ideology in this regard was religious belief.) There are also many examples, such as the pope of the Middle Ages and the Taiping Dao of the late Eastern Han Dynasty. )

Pulling it with his toes, Li Zhi also figured out that Ed must not be afraid of an extremely unstable character like Godfrey for a day, and he could not rest assured that his army would be handed over to Godfrey, and it would be impossible for Godfrey to rest assured that his army would be handed over to Ed's command.

This situation can only be said to be a matter of luck, if Godfrey is unwilling, then everything is empty talk, and Ed will not really throw all his strength into battle, which will only make the end of the human dynasty a lot earlier.

Just as Li Zhi was sitting in the corner of the carriage brainstorming, the carriage stopped, and he could vaguely hear that someone was blocking the road.

Xu Cheng poked his head out and saw that the person who stopped the carriage was Silver Blade, and suddenly felt bad, everyone knew that this carriage belonged to the king, and it was really a bit undesirable to stop it in broad daylight.

"My lords, I am afraid that I need to get some of the people in the car away as soon as possible, as I have been told, the sons of men." When Silverblade spoke, there was a rare solemnity in his tone.

Hearing that it was the son of man who named the dignitary, several of the accompanying knights hesitated, and finally got out of the way after looking at each other.

Xu Cheng stepped out of the carriage and looked at Silver Blade a little speechlessly, he also heard the king say that Godfrey would call them soon, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, and he didn't know if Godfrey instructed Silver Blade to forcibly stop the carriage directly in broad daylight.

The trial team members entered an alleyway under the leadership of Silverblade, and just like last night, Silverblade carried them through the alleys that were dry or wet, or full of stench or cheap pungent powder.

At last they came to a detached house that was empty all around, and the little old man from last night was still sitting in the doorway, leaning against a yellowed and shabby wicker chair as he had done last night, except that to-day there was a small table beside him, on which lay a half-burned white candle, a piece of ordinary honey cheese bread cut open, and an unknown wine that exuded a rich aroma.

The little old man looked at the group of people who suddenly came out of the alley, and his cloudy eyes scanned these people who went and returned, during which he exuded a sharp eyes that did not match his age, and after reading it, the little old man's eyelids sank, and he slowly grabbed the glass of wine on the table next to him, and closed his eyes comfortably after taking a sip.

Silver Blade stood at the door and didn't go in, he glanced at Xu Cheng, blinked his eyes and said softly with a smile: "I won't go in, you should all remember yesterday's road, go quickly, the great son of mankind is looking forward to your arrival!" ”

Xu Cheng looked at the silver blade in front of him, and he didn't know why it reminded him of a cult propagandist he had met when he was a child, and that same sense of fanaticism made him feel a little hairy.

When he was a child, he was very well-behaved, took out the anti-cult pamphlet in his schoolbag, and when he got home, he called the police backhandedly...... (I really encountered depression when I was a child, and I almost didn't scare myself, and I thought I would be targeted and trafficked...... )

In short, this experience made Xu Cheng resist such an organization in his heart, because such an organization has no law at all, and in the eyes of fanatical believers, faith is above all else.

It was still the same hall, and the maid who received them became another, but this time the maid was as pure and moving, as gentle and calm.

Walking into the familiar underground corridor, Xu Cheng saw Godfrey sitting on his throne drinking wine in the golden wine glass, and he felt in his heart that this Godfrey was much better than the life of the king Ed, although he lived underground and could not see the light, but it was better than the life of a king of a country.

"I don't approve of Silverblade's actions, but given my desire for the content of your communication with the King, I allowed him to do so." Godfrey stood up, a smile in his eye, and there was an unexpected sense of affinity.

Godfrey obviously wanted Li Zhi to explain everything quickly, and his eyes were all fixed on Li Zhi, obviously hoping that he could say what he wanted right away.

"Dear Godfrey, we came with Ed's conditions, and he agreed to a joint attack by the forces on both sides, but the precondition for him to do so is that the supreme military command of the two families is handed over to me, and you can each attack with your own army, but I will arrange the battle." Li Zhi said lightly about Ed's request.

Godfrey's eyes flashed, he thought for a moment, and said, "Do you have something to hide or missing?" ”

"That's the case, we're just the communicators, and it's up to you to decide whether we're right or not." Li Zhi replied head-on without hesitation, and Godfrey stopped his suspicion lightly.

"I know what Ed is thinking, but I have only one ambition, the rights and wrongs in the mundane are just a flash in the pane for me, I agree with Ed's proposal, the three of us can talk together in these two days, I think everything will go according to schedule, you can rest here for a while today, all your reasonable needs will be satisfied, the maids will give you everything except their souls, now please go down first, I think I need some time to think about some issues." With that, he stood up, and several maids came in through the door, each with a corresponding maid to receive him.

Xu Cheng still didn't think much about it, anyway, they wouldn't be calculated by these people during this time, and their strength was the best gold medal to avoid death.

But Li Zhi stood in place, bowed slightly, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, dear Godfrey, we want to go back to the tavern to rest, and we hope that King Ed's cooperation with you can become better under our reconciliation." This sentence is very tactful, but also resolute.

Godfrey's eyes were gloomy, and he seemed a little annoyed by the human toast in front of him, and the maids who had just entered fell to their knees in fright. Godfrey looked at the man without saying a word, as if he wanted to defeat himself.

But Li Zhi looked at Godfrey without any care, and his eyes were calm and clear about his unyieldingness.

The two were at a stalemate for a few minutes, and finally Godfrey's eyes flashed, and he regained his initial gentle image, he smiled and squeezed his eyes with Li Zhi, and laughed: "It seems that you really want to go back to that tavern to rest, then I naturally won't force you to stay!" ”

Li Zhi bowed slightly, then turned around and walked out, Xu Cheng looked at Li Zhi and didn't say anything here.

When he walked out of the door of this underground palace, Xu Cheng subconsciously glanced at Godfrey and found that he was staring at himself and several other people, there was no viciousness and murderous intent in his eyes, only a kind of indifference from his bones.

This kind of indifference can be creepy, because even if life passes in front of your eyes, death comes as promised, Godfrey doesn't seem to care!

When we got back to the station, everyone felt hungry, and to be honest, everyone didn't have time to eat breakfast.

The lunch was still very rich, Xu Cheng didn't know if it was because he was hungry, and unexpectedly fell in love with something similar to naan in Xinjiang, and this kind of cake did not have an exact name, so Xu Cheng directly said that it was Hu cake, anyway, it was not wrong for him to call it Hu cake in foreign countries, and the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty didn't call it that.

This crispy dough is baked, and the bite is thick and tough, and it is stuffed with a mixture of marinated pork, beef, and lamb.

After lunch, Li Zhi first proposed that everyone ride a horse to eat, although the big guy has never heard of this method of eating, but under his strong insistence, in the end everyone still chose to agree, it is worth mentioning that Anna was arranged by Li Zhi to do a very important thing upstairs, as for what it is, looking at the mysterious appearance of Anna and Li Zhishen, I am afraid this is another secret that cannot be said.

Riding a horse to consume food is not a comfortable thing to be honest, at least Xu Cheng is not very comfortable.

Everyone rode until they reached a field outside the city, Xu Cheng could see the farmers who were working in the farm, their knightly costumes looked out of place with the people here, and the farmers who passed by were obviously a little afraid of their costumes, and they all walked quickly by carefully bending down and bowing their heads on the side of the road.

Li Zhi stopped his horse, looked at the sparse crowd around him, and said: "I deliberately let you come out, I think you should also be a little suspicious, to be honest, there are some things I don't dare to say in the tavern or in the city, so it is best to find such a place, we have a good talk with each other, and by the way, find out what happened in the past two days and what may happen in a while." ”

Really! Xu Cheng's heart felt a little more comfortable for a moment.

Li Zhi took the lead and said: "First of all, I'm sure you must want to know why I insisted on going back to the hotel just now, I did this because of the situation we are in now, do you remember what Ed said when we went out?" ”

"You mean we're the warlords?" Xiahou Min was the first to come back to his senses and tentatively answered Li Zhi's question.

Hearing this, Li Zhi nodded and said: "That's right, the role we play in this war is the leader on the surface, a lubricant for the balance of the two forces, which means that we must pay special attention to fairness in the future, and we can't have more communication with either side, in short, we should be nosy and stay in our own one-third of an acre, just like just now, if we choose to stay, then Ed will definitely subconsciously doubt us without knowing it, once this suspicion is confirmed and takes root, It is possible to cause a great change at the last moment! ”

Li Zhi looked at Xu Cheng, Gao Feng, Xiahou Min and A Qin worriedly, and said with sorrow: "This is a gamble, and we lit this fuse...... Hopefully, we can make it back alive together by the end...... Because we are already on the edge of a precipice, all the forces of this world will be involved in this war, and we are at the center of this 'maelstrom'. ”
