Chapter 126: The Confrontation Between Weakness and Recklessness

"Yale?" Suddenly hearing this person's name, a cold light flashed in Li Zijun's eyes. He had always thought that the reason why the northern reinforcements would suffer a crushing defeat at Huluyu was mainly because of the eagerness of several generals to win at that time, which gave the Menglin Empire an opportunity!

But after Fred's reminder that Yale was the key to the fiasco of the Dongyu Empire, he began to pay close attention to Yale's whereabouts, and he even asked Audrey to secretly throw tracking powder on Yale's body.

It's just that because Yale is extremely cautious, he mostly hid in the palace during this time, which made Li Zijun have nothing to do with him, and even Audrey didn't find him.

Leaving Beijing was imminent, and Li Zijun had no choice but to temporarily give up the idea of chasing and killing Yale! But what he didn't expect was that Ji Ma would suddenly mention this person today, which also made the blood in his chest boil again.

Yale is very important to the entire Dongyu Empire, and even to Li Zijun personally! Not only did he personally bury hundreds of thousands of Dongyu troops; moreover, because he had held important positions in the military department for a long time, he was very clear about the combat characteristics, habits, and even weaknesses of Dongyu's various troops; and even more, he was quite familiar with most of Dongyu's army generals, and I believe that he must have done his homework in this regard, and it is very likely that he also had the handle of some people!

In other words, the longer Yale survives, the greater the threat he will pose to the Dongyu Empire! As a member of the Dongyu Empire, Li Zijun will never allow such a time bomb to exist for a long time, and he requires himself to return this guy to the arms of the god of the underworld as soon as possible!

But thinking of this, Li Zijun also suddenly realized that Yale was equally important to the Monlin Empire, and he really didn't understand that Empress Athena Weishenme would casually sell Yale's whereabouts to him, and he couldn't help but suspect that this was a trap.

"Yale is a person close to his father, this person does have some talents, he has just returned to Monlin, and he has already won his father's trust. My father was more inclined to him between me and Tiffany, which means that Yale is likely to be Tiffany's help in the future. Of course I don't want that to happen!" Jima explained to Li Zijun as if she saw his suspicions.

Although there is some truth in Jima's reasoning, these are not enough to dispel Li Zijun's doubts about Queen Athena. This woman had firmly grasped his pulse from the beginning, which also made him have to be on guard against this woman!

"How can I find him?" Although Li Zijun still had a lot of questions in his heart, the temptation of Yale was too great for him, and he couldn't help but ask Hima.

"Master Hou, it seems that our agreement has not been reached yet?" Ji Ma saw Li Zijun's anxious appearance, but she relaxed, she looked at Li Zijun and smiled and said.

Seeing Jima's expression, Li Zijun also realized that his performance was a little impatient, and hurriedly reminded himself to calm down.

Jima saw that Li Zijun quickly regained his composure, and secretly admired Li Zijun's ability to control his personal emotions. She originally wanted to tease Li Zijun a few words, but suddenly thought of her mother's reminder to her, she didn't say more, took out a sheepskin bag from the mezzanine of the carriage and handed it to Li Zijun.

"There is a detailed record of Yale's recent activities and habits, and I hope it will be helpful to you!"

As she approached, Himma took something from her bosom that resembled a stuffy nose and placed it on top of the parchment bag.

"You should be familiar with this thing, hold it and you can easily find the person you are looking for within a month!"

Li Zijun probably glanced at the things in his hand, and waved his hand to put them into his spatial ring.

"Please rest assured that Queen Athena and the eldest princess will never take the initiative to hurt Bradley this time, but if he must stop in front of me, then please don't blame me. It's just that since the two of you have helped me so much, I will repay it no matter what!" Li Zijun solemnly promised to Jima.

While the two were talking, the convoy had arrived at the gate of the palace dedicated to the performance.

After getting out of the car, Li Zijun led all the members of Colby to express their gratitude to the eldest princess again, and then led everyone towards the palace.

Kaul was still more prepared than the caravan's performance, Jima had already completed the task given by her mother, and there was no reason to stay here, she waved to Li Zijun, and led her back to her life.

In front of the door of this palace, there are a large number of members of the royal guards, judging by their clothing and equipment, they should be higher in rank than those before, and the mental state of these people is also much fuller, and the most important thing is that Li Zijun can clearly feel that they are also significantly stronger than the guards guarding the palace gate in terms of ability, and these people should all belong to Heller's personal guards.

In addition to this group of guards, there was also a group of palace maids waiting there next to the palace gate.

Seeing such a scene, Li Zijun couldn't help but sneer secretly, this was obviously to check his own people again, Heller was really precautionary against them!

Fortunately, the inspectors still maintained a respectful attitude, and they did not embarrass Li Zijun and his party too much, and soon all the cast and crew of the Calby caravan entered the palace smoothly.

In order to ensure that the stage can fully meet Li Zijun's design and requirements, he has been invited here twice, and due to the experience of his previous life, in his eyes, this stage can only be described by the word 'unsatisfactory' at most.

But for the slaves of the Colby caravan, this place is almost heaven! After they walked in, they immediately felt dizzying, and Li Zijun repeatedly urged them to reluctantly go backstage to prepare for the next performance.

"Mr. Nan Guo, look at what you are not satisfied with here, we will do our best to complete your idea!" Taylor, the general person in charge of the construction of this stage, saw Li Zijun, and immediately ran over in three steps and two steps, and said very politely. It's just that in addition to the deep admiration in his eyes when he looked at Li Zijun, he also had a little apology!

Although the people around him didn't see Taylor's eyes, they all felt his respect for Li Zijun.

Of course, Mr. Nan Guo has been valued by many nobles in Heller Bixia and even in Monlin, but after all, he is just an ordinary person! They don't understand that Taylor, who has a dignified aristocratic status, Weishenme would respect the ordinary staff of the Calby caravan so much? They even feel that Taylor has lost his noble status a little!

It's just that in Taylor's own mind, he doesn't have the slightest idea like that, but he feels that his respect for Li Zijun is far from enough!

Taylor is the friend of the Night Elf, and Li Zijun once met him outside the palace a few days ago. In order to impress Taylor smoothly, Li Zijun shamelessly plagiarized a lot of architectural knowledge from his previous life, especially the 'mud' that can firmly connect the boulders, which made Taylor even more intoxicated!

It was Li Zijun's architectural knowledge that far exceeded his time that completely moved Taylor, and he agreed to the invitation to join Li Zijun's team.

Immediately, Li Zijun asked for help, and he knew very well that his approach was a bit utilitarian, but due to the urgency of time, he had to be cheeky and do it!

Fortunately, after Taylor heard Li Zijun's request, he was not dissatisfied, and agreed to it.

It's just that Taylor didn't expect that Heller would monitor this palace so strictly! In addition to him, he also sent many people to supervise the renovation of the palace, which also made him only able to complete half of Li Zijun's tasks. So, he also had the same expression as he just did.

"Master Taylor, you are so gracious! I have never seen such a beautiful stage, no matter what we achieve today, I will never forget your credit!" Li Zijun smiled and punned.

Yesterday, Li Zijun had already learned about the situation here from Van Lunding's mouth, and he understood Taylor's embarrassment very well, especially when he heard that Taylor had successfully installed his 'eavesdropping equipment', he greatly affirmed Taylor's contribution to this operation!

It's just that Taylor felt guilty that the first task given to him by Li Zijun was not completed, and he was even a little ashamed to see Li Zijun.

Li Zijun has never liked the difficulties of strongmen, and he has always had a tolerant attitude towards his subordinates, of course he can't bear to see Taylor like this, but since there are many people here, he can only comfort Taylor in this way.

"If you don't have anything to do, can you accompany me to the backstage to have a look?" Li Zijun was full of curiosity about his 'bugging device' at this time, and he wanted to see if it would really be as useful as he imagined.

Hearing Li Zijun's invitation, Taylor understood and walked to the backstage with Li Zijun.

In fact, the so-called 'eavesdropping equipment' is several hollow tubes connected in sequence. Li Zijun remembered that he could hear voices farther away in this way, and he instructed Taylor to secretly set up such pipes in the exclusive boxes of Heller and Queen Athena, respectively, and he was not sure whether he could actually hear the sound.

"This is my exclusive room for you, although it is a little smaller, but in order not to affect the performers' quick change of clothes, I have to grieve you!" Taylor pointed to a small room backstage and introduced to Li Zijun.

Li Zijun pushed open the door and walked in, he didn't see anything unusual, he turned his head to look at Taylor.

"This is your seat, you sit on it and try it, if you feel uncomfortable, I will leave the arranger to change it for you!"

Li Zijun sat down in his position as he said, but he still didn't find anything special, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"When you're tired, you might as well rest your head on the back of the chair, and I've adjusted the height of the cushions on the back of the chair to suit your habits. Taylor said this with a little excited, excited expression.

Li Zijun had already discovered something at this time, he put his head on the pillow and immediately heard an extremely subtle sound. He ran his True Qi into the acupoints of his ears, and the sound in his ears became louder, and he quickly recognized that it was the sound of the royal guards repeatedly making sure that the two boxes were safe, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"It's really bothering you, I'm satisfied!" Li Zijun nodded to Taylor with an approving look.

Li Zijun did this not only to comfort Taylor, in fact, he also had a goal, which was to let Taylor leave a secret passage on the stage to help him play a magic trick of changing people! He had such an idea, of course, not just to please these nobles of Monlin. He hoped to take advantage of the time lag between his appearance, disappearance, and reappearance to secretly assassinate Yale, so that almost everyone would become his own time witness, and no one would think that Yale died at his hands.

It's just that Li Zijun has just learned that Yale will not be here today at all, which also makes his jihua an empty punch! Therefore, he doesn't care so much about whether Taylor can complete another mission.

While Lee was studying Taylor's arrangement, Jima had already returned to Empress Athena's palace.

Seeing the figure of Jima, Queen Athena immediately made a gesture to the people around her, the people here have worked by the queen's side for many years, and they are very familiar and familiar with her character and habits, they almost did not dare to delay for a moment, and quickly left the palace. In the blink of an eye, only Athena and Hima, mother and daughter, were left in this palace.

"What impact has it had on Edlaide?"

"Alert, sensitive, and a little cold, very good at controlling his emotions! If I hadn't looked at him with my eyes open, I would have thought he was an old man in his seventies and eighties!"

"Are you implying that your mother is very old?" women over the age of forty have begun to taboo the word 'old', and although Athena is still charming and sexy, she doesn't want to hear it mentioned in her ear.

"You're not old, how can you be old, if people don't know see us, they'll think we're sisters, and the most annoying thing is that they'll think I'm sisters!" Hearing the queen's unkind tone, Hima hurriedly stepped forward and explained with a hippie smile.

"It's a bit too much! how can I be your sister like this?" Empress Athena's face was still tense, but her tone was already full of smiles.

"What then, there's no way a woman my age could give birth to a daughter of your age!" said Jima with an innocent expression.

"Presumptuous! I know nonsense in a day!" Empress Athena tried to keep a straight face, but Zuihou couldn't help but smile happily.

"Queen Mother, what else do we need to do next?"

"Tell Bradley to let him go! Edlaide is more useful to us alive than dead, and we don't need to fight to the death for Heller!"

"Bradley and Edlaide have a feud against their sons, will he obey our orders?" asked Hima, looking at her mother, a little worried.

"Bradley is not qualified to negotiate terms with us, and we can just test him through this matter, if he can follow our arrangement, I will let his children flourish! But if he really wants to be an immature vicious dog, then even if this vicious dog seems fierce on the surface, we don't need to continue to keep it!" Queen Athena said coldly.

Jima was still a little hesitant, but seeing the gloomy face of her mother, she finally made up her mind and sent someone to give orders to Bradley.

"Mother, do we really give up on Jihua who framed Yur?" Jima's tone was full of unwillingness.

"The famous generals of the Monlin generation died on the streets of Khauerfekan, this matter is enough to give your father a headache, we don't need to attract other people's attention to us at this time, and do your father this favor in vain!"

Seeing that Jima was still suffering from gains and losses, Queen Athena sighed slightly, her daughter was still a little less open-minded and visionary than herself!

"Himma, politics can't always think about uprooting and killing with one blow, in that way, it will often put yourself in an embarrassing situation!"

"If my guess is correct, it's highly likely that Edlaide has reached an agreement with Yule to work together, and Gavin will soon leave the Monlin Empire. Yule's fate will be a wake-up call to those bigwigs in the military, they will no longer easily make their own choice for the heir of Monlin, but those middle and lower-level officers will have many people who think that this is an opportunity, as long as we can stay out of Yule's affairs to the greatest extent, we will become the most likely target for them to turn to! At this time, we really don't need to ask for trouble!"

"But since Gavin has taken refuge in Edlaide, Edlaide is likely to become Tiffany's external force?"

"Not to mention whether Edlaide's strength can give Tiffany strong assistance, even if Tiffany has the support of the entire Dongyu Empire? Your father's most taboo thing is that the strength of other empires infiltrates Monlin! Otherwise, we don't need to ask for the support of the Cult of Light. Do you think your father would make Tiffany the heir of Monlin when he learns that the backer behind Tiffany is the Dongyu Empire?"

When Jima heard Queen Athena's explanation, she finally figured out the key and gave up her original idea.

At the same time that Jima was receiving a lesson from Queen Athena, the eldest prince Tiffany was also found in front of him by Heller, which is why Tiffany did not wait for Li Zijun at the performance venue.

"They've all been taken into the palace by the Colby caravan, haven't they?" Heller saw Tiffany walk in, and immediately kindly seated him in front of him, then waved everyone else in the room away.

"Back to my father, they have already entered the palace, and the royal guards are escorting them to the performance venue!" Tiffany felt that his father was a little different today, but he couldn't say what the difference was for a while. Tiffany couldn't help but be a little nervous at the thought of his agreement with Edlaide, and he answered Heller's questions in a proper manner.

"Tiffany, it's going to take a while for the show to start, so how about we take this time to talk?" said Heller, who sat down in front of Tiffany, as he seemed to become a loving father.

Tiffany was slightly stunned when he heard Heller's words, he really didn't know how to answer his father.

"Don't be nervous, our father and son will speak freely today, you can say anything, and if you have any questions, just ask. ”

Heller's words did not dispel Tiffany's doubts, but they made him even more confused, and he stared at his father dumbfounded, not understanding what he was trying to say.

"Since you can't think of anything to say, let me say it first!Tiffany, why do I feel like we've been estranged a lot lately, do I have anything to do that makes you feel uncomfortable?"

"No matter what, I want you to believe that you are the future heir of the Menglin Empire in my father's mind!

"What about Hima?" Tiffany asked.

"You and Hima are my two proudest children, but you also have your own weaknesses!"

"Your weakness is weakness, and Geima's weakness is impulsiveness and recklessness! But neither of you has the ability to expand your territory, so that even if you put aside the difference between men and women, you have more advantages than Jima!"

"With the qualifications of the two of you, it's already good that you can be the master of the master!" said Heller, who couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he had no successor.

"I'm afraid that if Jima takes control of Monlin's future, she will probably never be willing to maintain the current situation, and with her talents, forging ahead will become a nightmare for the Monlin Empire! ”

Tiffany didn't expect this to be the opinion in his father's heart, but he couldn't say anything to refute it, and he shook his head with a wry smile.

"Therefore, the heir to the Monlin Empire can only be you!" Heller looked at Tiffany with some excitement.

"You must ensure that the Monlin Empire can continue to be passed on in your hands!"

When Tiffany heard his father's words, his heart suddenly became confused.

Originally, Tiffany chose to work with Edlaide because he felt that he had been abandoned by his father. But when he heard his father's confession to himself, he found that he seemed to have completely misunderstood his father's meaning, he couldn't help but regret his betrayal of his father, his heart was completely entangled, and he even had the urge to confess his heart to his father!

"Father, I heard that after General Ralph returned to the capital, he didn't visit General Yule once, and he didn't even see each other's faces, is there any conflict between their old friends and in-laws?" Tiffany suddenly asked Heller a question that had little to do with the topic just now.

Heller was also slightly stunned when he heard Tiffany's question, he didn't understand that Tiffany Weishenme would suddenly turn the conversation to Yule and Ralph.
