Chapter 215: Banishment
"You've been very careful about Belinda!" Blanche said sourly after hearing Waters' analysis.
"Belinda is currently our partner, we can only get to know her better, so that she can play a greater role for us! She is our most disgraceful line, but it cannot be denied, she is also a vital line! All the subtle changes in her may affect the success or failure of Zuihou. Therefore, I have to keep track of her changes at all times, and I don't want to be harshly attacked behind my back by my allies at the moment I get closest to success! My observation, analysis, and even her analysis have much to do with whether she is a woman or not, so you don't want to eat this dry vinegar!" Waters said with a smile as he stroked Blanche's smooth back.
"Hearing you say that, I also feel that Belinda has changed a lot during this period of time. In the past, every time I saw her, I hated her from the bottom of my heart, and although she had guided me in cultivation, this did not reduce my dislike for her in the slightest. ”
"But I think that in recent times, I no longer seem to be emotionally resistant to seeing her, and even unconsciously attracted to her every time. ”
"As a woman, I feel more and more unable to resist her temptation!" Blanche nodded, and her fingers moved gently again while Waters was not paying attention.
"After throwing away all the flashy things on her body, Belinda's charm has risen instead of decreasing, making it difficult to face her calmly! If I'm not mistaken, she must have greatly improved her skills!" said this, Waters's eyes showed a little envy.
Before the appearance of Li Zijun, Waters had always been the most promising warrior of the Dongyu royal family's generation (at least he himself thought so)!
But Li Zijun's sudden rise quickly deprived Waters of his advantage in martial arts. In order not to be overtaken by Li Zijun, Waters devoted most of his free time to cultivating martial arts.
It's just that Li Zijun was able to achieve today's results, in addition to his insistence on hard work, he also has the help of talent far beyond ordinary people and too many accidental factors. And that's exactly what Waters is missing!
Originally, before Li Zijun returned to the Dongyu Empire, Waters was able to comfort himself with the reason of 'spreading falsehoods'. But the moment he saw Li Zijun with his own eyes, he knew that he had been cleanly left behind by Li Zijun, and I was afraid that he would never have the possibility of surpassing him in martial arts!
And what made Waters even more unacceptable was that he couldn't see in Li Zijun's eyes looking at him, beyond his joy and passion. This also means that Li Zijun did not surpass him in terms of martial arts, and regarded it as a great thing, he was actually ignored by Li Zijun like this!
This situation is obviously very different from Waters' positioning of himself, but he knows very well that Li Zijun's performance is unintentional. For a moment, Waters felt like the confidence he had built up over the years in martial arts was shaking!
It was under such intense pressure that Waters began to take Blanche's advice and try the secret recipe of the grassland, which was said to have been improved by the Cult of the Dark Moon God.
"You don't have to envy her, you will soon surpass her, surpass Edlaide, and become the next Sword Saint of the Dongyu Empire!" Blanche saw Waters' eyes, understood what he was thinking, and understood his ultimate goal better, and tilted his upper body slightly to encourage him.
"Really?" Waters asked Blanche unconfidently.
"Of course, don't you think you're already starting to change?" Blanche said with a rare look of shyness.
Blanche was right, Waters was really re-energized, he didn't say anything more, he took the initiative and slammed Blanche under him.
And Blanche's timely look of horror greatly satisfied the vanity of Waters, a middle-aged man, and he forgot to ask about the success of this drug.
At the same time that Waters and Blanche were having a deep 'exchange', the sixth prince Abraham was drinking tea with his uncle and Hirst.
"My lord, news has come from the Seine Peninsula that the Grand Duke of Edlaide has set off with only three escorts and followed the messenger of Virgil Bixia. He's really anxious, he's not afraid that someone will treat him badly along the way!" Hearst has been resentful of him since he was kicked out of the room by Li Zijun, and his tone inevitably brought out some dissatisfaction.
"If Edlaide had surrounded him with a large group of guards wherever he went, he would never have achieved such results today!" said Oriel, the uncle of the Sixth Prince and a veteran sword saint of the Dongyu Empire, with a glance at Hirst.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Hearst hurriedly got up and Nono was dissatisfied.
"Ed is going to show his face again!" The sixth prince waved his hand to sit down again, sniffed the tea, and sighed with a smile.
"Mr. Hearst, how is the investigation of 'Blood Jade Ruyi', and are there any clues worth paying attention to?" the sixth prince asked Hirst with a light sip of tea.
"On the day of the ball, every guest who had ever appeared at Dalton Mansion, including everyone in Dalton Mansion, had been investigated by the Criminal Department, but there seemed to be no progress on the Criminal Department's side, which is why they recommended Archduke Edlaide to Virgil Bixia. ”
"In accordance with your orders, I sent people to have limited contact with the people concerned, but they all seemed to have been given gag orders, and they didn't dare to talk about anything about 'Blood Jade Ruyi'. Since you've told us not to pay too much attention to this, we've only gotten some inconsequential or hearsay so far! Do you see if we've activated a few insiders? Maybe they'll be able to let us know a little bit more. Although Hearst said it mildly, he was actually very clear that his investigation was simply standing still, and he looked at the sixth prince with some embarrassment.
"The loss of 'Blood Jade Ruyi' is too widely implicated, especially for us princes, it is simply a pool of dirty water, if we get too close, even if we don't fall into it, once it is splashed, it will be very troublesome to clean it up! As for who exactly stole the 'Blood Jade Ruyi', I don't have any interest!"
"Just tell your men to pay proper attention, don't let them get too involved, and make sure you make this matter clear to them. I don't want any reckless guy to involve the entire palace in order to steal the credit!" The sixth prince could see that Hirst was not only anxious to make meritorious service, but also tried to make progress in the case of 'Blood Jade Ruyi' before Edlaide entered Beijing, so as to achieve the goal of suppressing Edlaide. The sixth prince feared that Hurst would make a situation that could not be cleaned up under his impulse, and he became stern in his words, so as to warn Hearst not to act rashly.
"I haven't been back to see my territory for a long time, and I don't know what's going on over there, after you pass on Abraham's order, I want you to go back and see it for me, and it's best to stay there and help me take care of the territory for a while, what do you think?" Before Hearst could sit down, Oliel suddenly spoke to him.
Hearing Olier's words, Hearst was shocked, and he bent over and froze there in an extremely strange position. Then he felt himself dizzy, if he hadn't held on to the table in front of him in time, he would have fallen to the ground at this moment.
Although Oriel said it politely and tactfully, Hirst absolutely knew that it was impossible for him to say 'no' to Olier, but he also knew that once he nodded and agreed to Oliel's suggestion, he would be tantamount to acknowledging his banishment, and he couldn't help but hesitate.
At this moment, two solid cold lights fell on Hirst's face, and a stinging pain suddenly woke him up! Hearst was a smart man, and he quickly reacted under Olier's fierce gaze, which seemed to be indifferent, but in fact he was protecting himself.
Ever since Hearst was expelled from Lee Zi-jun, he has been resentful and resentful, always hoping to find an opportunity to take revenge on Lee Zi-jun. This made him no longer able to maintain his previous calm on all issues related to Li Zijun, and often gave judgments that deviated from the fundamental interests of the sixth prince, which actually caused dissatisfaction in the heart of the sixth prince.
As Li Zijun's status in the Dongyu Empire continues to rise, his position in the hearts of the six princes is becoming more and more important! If he is still obsessed and continues to challenge Li Zijun, once it affects the alliance between the six princes and Li Zijun, the six princes will definitely not let him go easily.
Thinking of this, Hearst broke out in a cold sweat! Hurried to the ground to Oliel, accepted his suggestion, and then said goodbye to the sixth prince and Oliel, and forced his composure and walked out.
"I hope Hearst can use this time to calm down, so that it will not be in vain Uncle You's hard work!" the sixth prince waited until Hearst's back disappeared completely, turned his head to look at Olier and said lightly.
"Although Hearst is narrow-minded, after all, talent is rare, and if he can change his ways, he can still be your help. I think it's a pity to give him up like that!"
"Since you've said so, what else can I say?!" the sixth prince looked at Oliel and smiled bitterly.
The sixth prince understood that his uncle had already guessed that he had killed Hearst, so he had the statement just now. Although the sixth prince was dissatisfied with his uncle's sudden jump out to stop him, he reluctantly accepted it.
"I know what you're worried about, but I can assure you that Hearst has no chance of betraying you!"
Oliel was right, the sixth prince did have concerns in this regard. Before the conflict between Hearst and Li Zijun, the sixth prince attached great importance to Hearst, and handed over an action team and a capable intelligence team to him. During that time, Hearst performed very well, and after gradually gaining trust, the sixth prince entrusted many shady matters to him. Hearst not only successfully completed the task of the Six Princes, but also gradually grew his team in the process. It can be said that Hearst has occupied a very important position in the system of the Six Princes. If something goes wrong on his side, it will be a huge blow to the Sixth Prince and bring him irreparable losses!
Soon after making peace with Li Zijun, the sixth prince took back the rights of Hearst to control the operation team, and also installed some henchmen in the intelligence team under his control.
On the one hand, the sixth prince did this to warn Hearst not to be entangled in the struggle with Li Zijun all the time, and on the other hand, he also wanted to gradually withdraw the power in his hands and minimize the impact of the loss of Hearst!
