Chapter Seventy-Seven: To Worsen the Situation
Balart looked at his father, who was about to leave on the bed, and an irrepressible apology rose in his heart, and he walked over quickly and stood respectfully in front of Mario's bed.
"Balart, come and help me so I can lift my head!" said Mario, who seemed to be in good spirits, and said to Balat with a smile.
Balat originally wanted to stop his father, but thinking of Li Zijun's judgment of Mario's situation, he immediately stepped forward to help Mario up.
"It seems that the kid didn't lie to me, I really don't have much time. After all these years, you've never listened to me like you do today!"
"Father!" said Balart, a little excited.
"Don't comfort me anymore! The boy just made it clear that I had little time left, and that we hadn't sat down and talked together in years. Today, I would like to use this time to talk to you about it. Mario waved his hand to stop Bharart from continuing.
"Father, what do you want to talk about?" asked Bharat, who helped Mario half-lying and half-sitting, and pulled the quilt again.
"Let's talk about that 'kid'!"
"Father, the 'boy' you are talking about must be the doctor, right? But he seems to be a lot older than you, why do you call him that?"
"Haha, it seems that you have been deceived by him too! When he first treated me, I felt that his palm was even smoother than a baby's skin! At first I thought he was a woman, but then I saw his Adam's apple. He must be a man, or at least a boy!How did you get him back to see me?"
"I didn't invite him back, it was the Night Elf who recommended him to Lawrence Bixia, who personally tested his medical skills before ordering the chamberlain to bring him over to treat you. ”
"No wonder! No wonder!" said Mario, his face flushing with his smile.
Looking at his father's smile, Balart felt a tingling in his heart, this closest enemy in his mind was finally about to fall!
"So the Night Elf was just worried that he was too young to trust us, so he disguised himself. Mario seemed to be talking to himself, but as if he was reminding Balat of something.
"Too young?" said Balart, whose face changed as he suddenly thought of something.
"He's the Marquis of Edlaide of the Dongyu Empire!?" Balat blurted out, looking at Mario in surprise on his hospital bed.
"If you have already received the news that Edlaide has come to Guayacan City, then your judgment is correct!" As soon as Mario's words came out, Barrat finally understood that his father Weishenme would waste so many words on this doctor, and he also had to sigh that his sensitivity was still much worse than his father's!
"Father, should we arrest him and hand him over to the Monlin Empire?"
"What do you get if you do?"
"Me?" Hearing his father's question, Balat was slightly stunned, not knowing how to answer.
"Since you can't get anything, weishenme is going to bring yourself such a big trouble!"
"Edlaide was recommended by the Night Elves, and they will watch you deal with him? Everyone knows that Edlaide is the illegitimate son of the Emperor of the Dongyu Empire, do you think the Emperor of the Dongyu Emperor will spare the person who framed his son?
"The game of politics has nothing to do with family, friendship, aiqing and morality, and the most fundamental thing is only interests!"
"Everyone has ambitions, but we must see the situation clearly before we act!"
"I know you've made a jihua behind my back, but I warn you that it's not just the Night Elves standing behind Lawrence, you must remember that there is also the Cult of the Illuminati! I haven't seen the strength of the Cult of the Illuminati until now, it's too abnormal! I even think that Lawrence's weakness is a conspiracy to lure Lev out!"
"At this time, I'm afraid that nothing I say will affect you, but I hope that you can leave a way back for our family. ”
"You mean Edlaide?"
"Escort him safely out of Guayacan in exchange for the Night Elves' protection of your children!" Now you can call everyone else in, and I'll get them to support you unconditionally!But where will you go, I can only bless you in another shijie!" Mario was already a little tired after saying this, and waved Balat out, closing his eyes slightly.
Balat turned and walked out, and the moment he turned around, the tears in his eyes could no longer be stopped, and poured out like a tide.
Although Mario didn't say it explicitly, he already knew that the reason why he became what he is today is entirely due to his son Balart!
But as a son who has lived in political struggles all his life, Mario does not resent his son, he still hopes that Balat can be the winner of Zuihou, and he is completely on Balat's side in the Zuihou moment.
Balart walked to the door, wiped away his tears, calmed himself down a little, opened the door and walked out. Instead of letting the others in, he found Li Zijun first, and he hoped that Li Zijun could prolong Mario's life a little longer, he had never wanted his father to continue to live as much as he did now.
"Uncle Mario is really awake!?Is there anything else you want to tell me?" Belinda asked, looking at the person in front of her.
"My lord, let me inform you that it's business as usual!"
Belinda smiled charmingly, and the person standing in front of her, seeing Belinda's smile, his eyes were instantly blurred, but he quickly returned to normal. Belinda gave him a faint look, ordered his men to send him out, and then began to give orders.
Balat took his 'baton' at his father's bed and became the new head of the family, but strangely, he was not as surprised as he imagined! He sent everyone except Li Zijun out of the room, sat down on the side of Mario's bed, and gently held his father's palm.
I can't remember how many years Balart hadn't been so intimate with his father, and Balart had never wanted Mario to live as much as he did today. At the same time that Baratra was holding Mario, Mario was also looking at him kindly, and the father and son sat silently without saying a word.
Li Zijun also felt a lot of emotion when he saw the appearance of the two, he couldn't bear to disturb the father and son, turned his gaze to other directions, and stood quietly aside.
"Marquis Edred, I didn't expect that you would be the one who woke up my father, you still have such talent, it's really an eye-opener for me!"
"The old prince is really extraordinary, just after a while, he guessed my identity!" Li Zijun was not surprised that Bharat said his identity, and walked a few steps forward to Mario's bed.
"Weishenme is me, not my son?" Mario was also a little surprised by Li Zijun's sensitivity.
"Before I woke you up, the little prince was always preoccupied, and he didn't even look at me many times. But after he saw you, his attitude towards me suddenly changed, doesn't that explain the problem?" Li Zijun had already suspected that his identity was exposed, but seeing that Balat did not want to deal with him, he was happy to pretend to be confused. Therefore, he was not too surprised when his disguise was pierced at this time.
"It's said that the Marquis of Edlaide of the Dongyu Empire is a genius! I didn't believe it at first, but when I saw it today, I felt that meeting was even more famous! Don't you worry that I left you alone to deal with you?" Although Balat had changed his attitude towards his father, it was still a little uncomfortable for Li Zijun to despise him so much, and there were more warnings and threats in his tone.
Li Zijun smiled slightly when he heard Balart's words, did not speak, and turned his gaze to Mario.
"I'm not as good as you!" said Mario on the hospital bed, sighing.
"If you had the same attitude towards me, perhaps Marquis Ed would still have that kind of worry. But now your eyes are full of concern for me, and even if you had the heart to deal with Charity, you would not choose to be in front of my bed!"
Balart, hearing Mario's analysis, also thought of this, and couldn't help but smile wryly and shake his head.
"Marquis Ed, can you do this king a favor?" asked Mario, looking at Li Zijun with pleading eyes.
"Since the prince has already seen the opportunity, can't weishenme take a step back? "After Li Zijun analyzed the backers behind the Fire Bandits, he had already thought that Mario might have the next move, but now it seems that all this is from the hands of Balart, Mario originally did not agree with this Jihua, and his so-called asking Li Zijun for help should be entrusted to his family. Therefore, Li Zijun persuaded.
"By the time I knew about it, Jihua had already started to execute, and Balat had no way back!" Mario was getting less and less energetic, and he could say this sentence intermittently, and he could leave at any time.
"Okay, I promise you!" Li Zijun really couldn't bear to refuse Mario, the dying man, as soon as he said this, Mario's eyes lost their light, but he still had a relieved smile on his face.
"Xiexie, you let my father go in peace!I will never let you do this in vain!" Bharat was worried that Li Zijun would change his words, and then said that he would send Li Zijun away safely.
"Little Lord don't worry, since I have agreed, even if there are no conditions, I will do my best! And I won't let others know about it!" Li Zijun understood what Balat was worried about, and turned around and walked out the door.
"Marquis, don't you think I don't have a chance?" asked Balart, looking at Li Zijun, who was about to walk out of the room.
"I only know that 'knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles'! The chips in your hands have been placed on the table, but have you seen the opponent's chips?" Li Zijun sighed and pushed the door and walked out.
Balart looked at Li Zijun's back for a long time and didn't move away, but gradually, his eyes became sharper.
"Lawrence has hole cards that I don't know, and I don't have a means that he doesn't know!
Li Zijun walked out of Mario's room, and the chamberlain and the big guards immediately greeted him.
"Lord Mario is gone!" Li Zijun said softly.
The palace immediately fell into a wail!
"Old gentleman, we are also going back to Bixia to get back to our lives, let's go!" The chamberlain saw that the entire palace was full of gratitude to Li Zijun, and did not dare to let the Ouchi guards do something in this place, wanting to bring Li Zijun back to the palace.
"Please wait a minute! I still have some things to explain to Elder Susan, and when I'm done, I'll go back to the palace with my lord immediately!" Li Zijun said politely.
The chamberlain didn't dare to push too hard, arousing the suspicion of Susan and Li Zijun, and temporarily walked away with a few big guards.
Li Zijun invited Susan to a nearby room, told Mario about the matter entrusted to him, and insisted that he should keep it a secret from anyone.
Of course, Mario would not believe that Li Zijun could take his family away alone, and his purpose was to ask the Night Elves for help through Li Zijun.
Susan had already received Darcy's order for most of the Night Elves to withdraw from Guayacan. And at this time, the Night Elves had already begun to withdraw from Guayacan City in batches. She heard Li Zijun say that she wanted to add a few Mario's family members to the evacuated personnel, and agreed to Li Zijun's request without much thought.
It didn't take long for Balart to bring a dozen people to Li Zijun and Susan. These people are all descendants of the royal family, and their existence also ensures the inheritance of the royal bloodline.
Originally, Susan wanted to leave with Li Zijun and these people, but Li Zijun was worried that his departure would bring unnecessary trouble to Balart, so he chose to stay temporarily, and Susan had to leave quietly with the others alone. And almost at the same time as Susan left, Bharat handed over a token to Li Zijun, and explained to him the location and method of contact.
After Susan left, the chamberlain was secretly happy and found Li Zijun again and asked him to accompany him back to the palace to report on his work.
Balat didn't know about his father's poisoning, so he didn't think much about the invitation of the chamberlain, and personally sent Li Zijun out of the palace.
Li Zijun also pretended to be nothing, and left the palace with the inner attendants and the big inner guards. Looking at these Ouchi guards pretending to surround him, Li Zijun couldn't help but secretly laugh, Lawrence really looks down on himself, these guards selected are all masters at the level of a great swordsman, it seems that Lawrence is bound to his head!
The group entered the palace directly, but instead of heading to the side hall where Lawrence was working, the carriage went in the opposite direction.
The surrounding environment is becoming more and more desolate, and not only can Zuihou not be seen by anyone, but even the surrounding buildings have become dilapidated.
"It doesn't seem to be the direction of going to the side hall here, where are we going? Could it be that you are going the wrong way?" Li Zijun asked with a blank look on his face when he opened the carriage door.
"Sir, this is not our way, this is your way, your point of no return!" a large internal guard sat on his horse and looked at Li Zijun with a cruel smile.
"Really?" Li Zijun suddenly showed a smug smile, the Ouchi guard was wondering, Li Zijun jumped out of the carriage, and reached out to grab the guard's throat. The guard instinctively dodged to the side, Li Zijun didn't change his direction, went directly to the top of his head, and with one foot in the back of the guard's heart, he turned around and threw himself at the other guard.
The guard, who was stepped on by Li Zijun, didn't feel hurt before he felt his injury, and was about to sit up straight. At this moment, he suddenly felt a heat in his heart, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and many fragments of internal organs in this mouthful of blood also spilled out of his body, and the guard's eyes were stunned, and he fell straight off the horse.
Almost at the same time, Li Zijun had already rushed to the horse of another guard, he grabbed the horse's head with one hand, raised his leg and kicked the guard in the chest.
The guard didn't have time to muster his fighting spirit, so he could only raise his hand to meet Li Zijun's whip leg, and he saw that the others were rushing towards him, hoping to block Li Zijun's blow and buy himself more time. Suddenly, he felt his seat go soft, and his body sank. His arm was actually blocked, and he screamed badly, he wanted to raise his arm high, but before he could change his move, Li Zijun's right leg really kicked him in the head.
This leg was too big, and while kicking and breaking the guard's neck bone, it also shook his head into a pot of porridge. At this time, the others saw that the head of the guard's horse had been pressed into the neck cavity by Li Zijun, and its fall to the ground drove the guard's body, causing him to misjudge and finally lose his life.
Li Zijun instantly eliminated the two strongest people and landed on the ground with ease, surrounded by the other three Ouchi guards.
"It seems that we all underestimate you!" a sauce-block brain-shaped guard released his fighting spirit in time, and looked at Li Zijun coldly and said. He was the strongest of the remaining three great sword masters, and he was also the first to release his fighting spirit and stand in front of Li Zijun.
"You can't be a nobody, who are you?" A red-faced guard stood behind Li Zijun's side with a giant sword in his hand, although he had already urged his fighting spirit with all his might, it was still a little worse than the 'sauce cube' just now.
And the white-faced guard standing on the other side of Li Zijun, although it was also a manifestation of the great sword master's fighting spirit, his strength was the weakest, and he didn't dare to speak easily at all.
"Haha, don't you think it's too late to find out at this time?" Li Zijun smiled a little presumptuously, posing as a jiashi of Taijiquan.
The three guards around Li Zijun felt that his posture was a little strange, and for a while, they didn't dare to step forward and take the initiative to attack him.
In fact, Li Zijun had just killed those two guards, and on the surface it seemed to be easy, but in fact, his three heavy blows were extremely expensive, and he was using the time of the three people to hesitate to adjust his internal breath.
'Sauce Block' watched Li Zijun keep changing his gestures, but he just didn't take the initiative to attack, and finally found the problem.
"Attack together, he's recovering from his strength!"
"It's too late to find out now!" Li Zijun let out a loud voice and suddenly pounced on him.
When he heard Li Zijun say this, he was shocked, and he didn't dare to take Li Zijun's attack, so he quickly retreated a few steps. But to his surprise, Li Zijun did not pursue him, but quickly rushed towards the white-faced guard.
The white-faced guard didn't dare to meet Li Zijun's attack, he wanted to take half a step back and seek self-protection first. But unexpectedly, his feet suddenly went limp, and his legs actually sank into the ground that was still very hard just now. He panicked in his heart, and his fighting spirit immediately shook and became a little weaker.
The red-faced guard had just wanted to come over to help with the defense, but a bolt of lightning had already fallen from the sky, slashing accurately in his face. Despite the protection of his vindictive spirit, his steps stopped uncontrollably.
Li Zijun broke off his drink, and several palm prints smashed on the white-faced guard's fighting qi cover.
With a "boom", the white-faced guard's fighting aura was shattered, a frightened expression appeared on his face, and his expression was forever fixed at this moment. Li Zijun didn't know when he took out a dagger, so he used this dagger to cut off the entire head of the white-faced guard.
The 'sauce cube' had already reacted at this time, and quickly came behind Li Zijun, and a sword slashed down from right to left.
Li Zijun's dodging action slowed down a little,
"Hiss!" Li Zijun had a deep scar on his back.
Li Zijun quickly turned to the back of the white-faced guard's corpse and kicked him towards the 'sauce block', which dodged his pursuit.
The red-faced guards also rushed over, and the two of them stood on either side of Li Zijun's front respectively, and it was difficult for Li Zijun to use the sneak attack again.
"Demon Martial Dual Cultivator, who the hell are you?" the chamberlain thought of something and asked loudly in the carriage.
Li Zijun was on guard with all his might for the two people in front of him, and he tried not to think about the wound on his back. But that didn't stop him from the burning pain in his back, and what worried him even more was that the back injury had taken some toll on his movements. And his back injury is bleeding non-stop, if he can't solve the two people in front of him as soon as possible, just bleeding can kill him.
And the two people in front of Li Zijun also saw his embarrassment, and they didn't take the initiative to attack, but just dragged him in turns to prevent him from having a chance to escape.
Li Zijun became more and more upset, and finally was scratched by the red-faced guard on his ribs again. Although it is not very heavy, it makes Li Zijun even worse and more difficult.
