Rather than fighting, reconnaissance is what Quinn does best.

As it turned out, she did not disappoint Luci.

At that time, the opponents of Merli had basically investigated clearly, and the next thing to do was to investigate more detailed details.

At that time, in order to maintain the image of the king and not to make nonsense about the future affairs, it was normal for some ministers to oppose this.

But at that time, Mellie, a pregnant woman, was able to leave quietly in front of the king.

There must be a deeper reason for this.

For example, who secretly helped her stay away from the royal capital?

If that's the case, then it proves that someone must have found Melly in private.

That's what Luki wanted to know.

"Your Highness, when I was investigating, I found another thing." Seeing that Luki was almost there, Quinn continued, "It seems that there are other people who are also investigating this matter. I found the other person, but the other person didn't find me. ”

Hearing this, Lu Qi thought for a moment.

There are still people investigating the events of the year, so this person is actually very easy to confirm.

It is estimated that it is his father, Jiawen III.

Gavin III was also kept in the dark until Merli disappeared, and he didn't realize it until he was gone.

Now that he is firmly on the throne, the events of that year must also be thoroughly investigated.

"Keep investigating, you should pay attention to these people."

Lu Qi took a pen and drew a circle on several names, then thought for a second, and added the name of the leader of the Demon Hunter Corps: "And him, be careful when investigating, this person is not simple." ”

"Yes."

Quinn took the notebook back and answered seriously.

She didn't stay for breakfast, and left the yard quickly.

Luki took his thoughts away from the incident and returned to the house to prepare breakfast.

Half an hour later, Lux went into the courtyard together.

"Just be lazy, forget it, don't even send Miss Jianji."

Entering the courtyard, Lux looked at Luqi angrily.

Yesterday Fiona said that she was going back to the Silver City, so they got up early this morning and went to the city gate to say goodbye.

It turned out that this guy Luqi didn't come.

Hearing this, Lu Qi replied: "I have already sent it." ”

Lux looked at him suspiciously, "When did you send it?" ”

"Don't ask, it's earlier than you anyway."

Luki smiled.

Lux thought the guy was fooling her, and they were already at the gates of the city when it was dawn.

This guy was earlier than her, how could it be!

But it was useless to say anything at this time, and the carriage of the Laurent family had probably left the royal capital for a while.

After breakfast.

Today, the temperature has dropped a little more, the air is cold, and there is no sunshine at all.

At noon, Lux and Kahina returned from the Illuminator's Chapel, and the two girls looked like they were worried about something.

When Lu Qi saw it, he asked out loud, "Did something happen?" ”

Lux nodded and said, "Recently, the illuminator of the church seems to be preparing to go to the border. ”

Then, the two girls began to talk about each other.

Recently, the news of a war on the border has spread thoroughly, and behind every war, innocent people will inevitably be implicated.

And that is the mission of the Illuminators, and they will stand up and help those people at times like these.

Also, there are some lighters who are willing to join the military's medical logistics.

This kind of logistics often rushes to the battlefield with the army, and their task is to help rescue our wounded soldiers in battle.

It also has a lot of significance on the battlefield.

This is a sacred mission for them, and no one is afraid of it.

Now, the illuminators don't need to be called, and they take the initiative to prepare to go to the border.

In the morning, the two girls learned about it, and it was obvious that they also wanted to go to the border together.

However, they are only trainee lightbearers now, and with the problem of identity, I am afraid it is not so easy.

They didn't know how to talk to their families.

After hearing this, Lu Qi asked, "So you've already decided?" ”

"Hmm." Lux's small face was serious, and her eyes flashed with determination: "I want to go." ”

Kahina nodded in agreement.

Lu Qi immediately smiled: "Since you have decided, what do you want to do so much, and you are not a child." ”

The question they worry about is whether their families will agree.

If Miss Crown's coming-of-age ceremony hadn't passed, Augesha would definitely not want her to go to the border.

But now, she has the right to decide for herself which path she wants to take.

It's just that the two girls haven't recovered from the change of identity.

Sure enough, as Lucci said.

When Lux got home, she talked to Ogsha about it, and after Ogsha repeatedly confirmed that she meant it, she didn't say anything more and began to tell her something.

Similarly, the same is true of Kahina, who used to hold important positions in the military, and Barrett, who used to hold important positions in the military, was relieved to hear that she had such thoughts.

In the afternoon.

After receiving a letter, Lu Qi got into a carriage and went to the research and development base of the scientific research institute.

After arriving at the place.

Without saying a word, Winward led him to a barn.

"The gunpowder you're talking about is ready. After experiments, there is no problem with the power, and it is very stable. ”

As he spoke, he opened the door to the barn.

After turning on the switch of the electric light, there was a "click", and the inside suddenly lit up.

Lu Qi looked over and saw a warehouse full of gunpowder neatly arranged inside.

Winward continued: "There are several warehouses around, and the supplies are supposedly sufficient. ”

Lu Qi nodded slightly, and said, "Trouble the dean to start preparations, I want to enter the palace." ”

"Hmm."

Winward nodded.

After Lu Qi left, he immediately began to arrange for people to carry the gunpowder materials.

And Luqi, who got into the carriage and headed for the palace, was thinking.

In the beginning, the R&D base was established, and the main research project was gunpowder.

After a few months, the research and development progress of gunpowder can be said to have improved rapidly, and now, it has the conditions to go to the battlefield.

And this batch of newly developed gunpowder will appear on the border battlefield for the first time.

Although there were often good news from Jiawen IV at the border, Lu Qi had the impression that Jiawen IV's expedition would not be particularly smooth.

Before he left, even though Lu Qi had already reminded him, he was still a little uneasy.

After thinking about it, it's better to go to the border in person.

Inside the Royal Palace.

In the office of King Gavin III.

When Lu Qi pushed the door and walked in, he glanced at it and smiled: "My aunt is also here, so I don't need to run at both ends." ”

At this time, Gavin III and Tiana were discussing something, and the Minister Roy was also next to him.

Tiana looked at him and asked, "What are you going to say?" ”

Lu Qi said: "The dreadnought avant-garde has some people. ”

Tiana frowned, "What are you going to do with the Dreadnought Vanguard again?" Half of the Dreadnought Pioneers have now followed your eldest brother to the border, so there are still so many men. ”

Only then did Lucci remember that Lev seemed to have taken half of the Dreadnought Vanguard and Gavin IV to the border.

So it seems that there are really no more people.

"I'm a little bored in Wangdu, and I also want to go to the border to see and fight side by side with my eldest brother."

Lu Qi replied with a smile at this point.

Roy also frowned when he heard this: "Your Highness, how can it be child's play to go to the battlefield." Now that there is a great highness at the border gate, there is no need for you to go again. ”

He doesn't know enough about Lucci.

Although he said it casually, Tiana could tell that he might have made up his mind to go to the border this time.

It stands to reason that one of the two princes must stay in the royal capital.

Let's prevent accidents.

If a meeting is held at this time, there must be many people who oppose Lu Qi going to the border.

However, from the very beginning, Tiana knew that this kid was not simple, and she also knew that although he was young, he had always had an idea.

Since you have decided to go, it is certainly not a casual one.

Jiawen III looked at him with a serious expression: "Have you really decided to go?" ”

Lu Qi also got serious and nodded: "Well, please allow my father." ”

"In that case, let's go."

Without much thought, Gavin III looked at Lu Qi with deep eyes and granted his request.

Remembering his debt to this child, he was actually reluctant to let Lu Qi go to the border.

However, when he came back to his senses, he found that the child had grown up very well when he was not paying attention.

As a father, what he has to do is to block the trouble behind him for him, so that he can move forward boldly with confidence.

Roy frowned, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, you shouldn't be so hasty. How can there be two princes who go to the battlefield together. ”

"It doesn't matter." Gavin III looked at him and smiled: "I believe in my two children, you should also trust me, let them go, they will not let us down." ”

Roy was about to say something, but saw that Gavin III waved his hand and did not let him say any more.

Sighing helplessly, he stood aside, and could only watch the father and son mess around.

Although he knew that the two Highnesses were capable, he really didn't think there was any need for the two of them to go to the border.

According to what he knew about the third life, he would not change his words at this time.

Gavin III looked at Lu Qi and asked, "Is there anything else you need?" ”

Lu Qi thought for a moment and said, "It should be gone." ”

What should be brought to the border, Jiawen IV has basically already taken it.

Now he only needs to set off directly with his own soldiers and supplies.

"In short, don't rely on your ability to underestimate the enemy." Tiana looked at Lu Qi and used her experience to advise: "Those people in Noxus are mixed, don't suffer in their hands." ”

Lu Qi nodded: "Don't worry, aunt." ”

Tiana waved her hand: "Alright, go get ready." ”

"Hmm."

Luki answered, and turned to leave the office.

Tiana watched his departing back and didn't retract her gaze until she was gone.

It just so happened that she had heard that the girl from the Lux and Bouvier families was also going to the border.

The relationship between the two families is very good, and the way of raising children is not pampered, and naturally they will not always be carefully cared for in the palm of their hands.

Stepping on the border is something they will have to go through sooner or later.

However, having said so, I am still not at ease after all.

Although this kid is usually lazy and naughty, at this time, having him with him can make him feel a lot more at ease.

Luqi left the palace, and the carriage continued without stopping all the way to the pro-military camp.

Now, after a few months, the pro-military camp has been cleaned very cleanly, and there are uniform shouts from time to time in the huge fortress.

When you arrive at the playground, you can see Wayne and Frey, as well as a few newly appointed captains, training with the rest of their own soldiers.

On this cold day, at a glance, I feel quite enthusiastic.

The pro-military camp has expanded from the original 300 people to the current 500 people, which is no more and no less, just right.

Gathering the people together, Luki told him about his journey to the border.

After learning about this, the soldiers were all a little excited, and they were ready to set foot on the battlefield.

Afterwards, Luqi began to prepare for the start of the journey.

Unlike the last time the Night of Soul Eater came suddenly, this time, he must be a little more prepared.

In the evening, when it was almost dark, he and Wayne returned to the courtyard.

"Where have you been all afternoon?"

Lux sat bored in the living room, watching Lucci walk back, and said in a bad mood: "We are all leaving tomorrow, and you are only coming back now." ”

Lu Qi laughed when he heard this: "Just go, don't you plan to go back forever." ”

"Phew." Lux snorted softly and glared at him, "I advise you to speak well." ”

Lu Qi said: "Then I wish you two a smooth journey this time, go early and return early." ”

"It's like words." Lux said and sighed, "I don't know how long it will take to come back to the border this time." ”

Kashina nodded in agreement.

Although they have never been there, they have heard that every time they fight, it takes a long time to fight.

Time is not an issue.

The main thing is that I'm afraid I won't see Lu Qi for a while.

This guy has an indifferent and indifferent expression, isn't there a little reluctance?

When they saw it, they were inexplicably angry!

Lux looked at him with an unhappy face and said, "Without us, you just lie down every day, boring to death." ”

"You're not here with me, but you're having fun, aren't you?"

Lu Qi said as he saw their unhappy and angry little eyes, and sighed: "But unfortunately, I'm afraid that I won't have time to talk about it for the next period of time." ”

Lux paused, feeling a hint of something unexpected.

However, Kahina reacted faster, and her eyes lit up: "Is Your Highness going to the border with you?" ”

Lu Qi smiled but said nothing.

But he also replied silently.

After learning this, Lux and Kashina's mood inexplicably improved.

"We'll leave tomorrow morning." Lu Qi did not continue to tease them, and said, "Then you don't have to follow the Illuminator, just go with me in my boat." ”

The two girls immediately nodded in response.

Naturally, Poppy is going to go with Luki.

The same goes for Saana.

The departure was completely decided.

There are still some preparations to be made, so the departure time is set for tomorrow morning.

At night, in the quiet of the night, a figure went and returned.

Sana stood at the gate of the courtyard and cheered herself up again, and this time no one around her made a sound to disturb her.

Shui Lan's blue eyes looked at the courtyard and trembled.

She took a deep breath and stepped into the courtyard.

This is destined to be another sleepless night.
