"Your Excellency, you are open-minded, but others may not think like you!" Hearst looked at Li Zijun and said coldly.

"I don't care what the others think, and I don't want to care! It's late at night, Benjue's internal injuries have not healed, and he needs to rest. Li Zijun raised his hand and asked Hirst to leave the room.

"Dongyu will be either/or in the future, if the adults can't make a choice in time, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to regret it in the future!" Hearst glanced at Li Zijun disdainfully, got up and walked out the door.

Li Zijun was completely enraged by Hearst's threat, and he got up from his chair with a bang.

"My principle of life is: if you move me, I will kill your whole family, and if you hurt me, I will destroy your whole family!" Li Zijun looked at Hearst's back and said murderously.

Hearst didn't really take Li Zijun's words to heart, he snorted coldly and tried to open the door. At this time, he realized that he couldn't move at all, and he instinctively turned his head to look at Li Zijun.

Li Zijun seemed to ignore the control of Hearst's position, allowing Hearst to see his eyes clearly. But just this glance, Hearst felt a thick murderous intent in Li Zijun's eyes, and he suddenly felt as if someone had poured a large basin of ice water down his head, and he was shivering from the freezing of this biting ice!

"Today, I will watch the face of the Sixth Prince, let you go! If you dare to talk nonsense in front of me again in the future, Litton of the Monlin Empire will be your end! Now, you get out of here!"

Li Zijun looked at Hearst and roared.

Hearst finally remembered that he was facing a murderous 'butcher-level' character at the moment!

At the same time as Li Zijun's word 'roll' came out, Hearst found that he had regained his freedom, he didn't dare to stay long, and left Li Zijun's room in a panic.

Watching Hearst leave in embarrassment, Li Zijun couldn't help but let out a loud noise. Although he was well aware that this matter would probably cause him great trouble in the future, he couldn't help but enjoy the moment to the fullest.

Li Zijun's words completely frightened Hearst! Although the sixth prince sent dozens of high-level martial artists to protect his safety, so many people could not give Hirst the slightest sense of security at this moment. Zuihou Hirst even did not hesitate to dispatch the special token given to him by the sixth prince, and he rushed back to Filano City overnight.

Hearing that Hearst had forcibly opened the city gates, Abraham, the sixth prince, thought that something major had happened, and he immediately met with Hearst.

But when Hearst told the whole story, Abraham's face sank.

"Sir, we have agreed on an alliance with Edlaide and there will be no affiliation between the two sides. weishenme: In what you just said, all I heard was that you were trying to recruit Edlaide to join me, and that didn't quite match our original intentions, right?" Abraham asked Hearst coldly.

"Lord Wang, Edlaide is becoming more and more of a threat to you, I only hope that I can use this opportunity to directly eliminate this hidden danger for you!"

"Who would have thought that this kid didn't take you seriously at all, and rejected all the conditions I put forward, it seems that he is ready to be your enemy!"

"Is it a condition to restore Veron's identity? It's just a trap to jump for him in front of him, do you think he could be that stupid?"

"Lord Wang, I'm also anxious! Who would have thought that this kid would be so cunning and not be affected by the Mithril Mine at all. It's all my fault, and I still want the prince to punish you?" Hearst has been giving advice to Abraham for so many years, but he didn't expect that he would return home in person for the first time, and he was full of shame and guilt.

"Forget it, you're kind too. It's getting late, you go down and rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow!" Abraham waved Hearst away.

Abraham watched as he walked away from Echecht, his eyes becoming more and more fierce, and he suddenly turned and walked in the direction of the garden.

"Hurst was acting a little erratically this time, I think he was doing that to anger Edlaide in the first place, has anyone been in contact with Hirst lately?" Abraham said softly as he walked into the gazebo in the garden and put his hands behind his back.

Before Abraham could finish speaking, a piece of land next to the gazebo suddenly moved, and then a sturdy man in an earth-colored coat stood up from the ground.

In such a cold season, this guy actually lay on the ground in thin clothes, and judging by the speed with which he got up and the flexibility of his limbs, the temperature around him obviously did not affect him in any way.

"Our guys have been watching him and haven't found anything unusual about him! Maybe he's just in a hurry to show himself, after all, he's never shown up to do anything alone. ”

"One infidelity, a hundred intolerables, should we get rid of him!" said Abraham, with a grim face.

"Over the years, Hearst has been quite dedicated and has helped us a lot. He only made such a mistake, we should give him a chance!"

"Since you've said so, uncle, I'll let him go for the time being! But what about Edlaide?" This man who looked not much different from Abraham was actually his uncle!

"Although Hearst almost messed things up this time, it wasn't completely irreparable. In particular, Edlaide's ability to meet Hearst at this sensitive time has shown in another way that he is not averse to forming an alliance with us. This is at least a good start for us!"

"Father has already started to deal with the eldest brother, will his next target be me?"

"The future of the Dongyu Empire is most likely in the hands of you and Waters, although there is now such a preparation as Edlaide, but as long as you stabilize your position, in the short term, he will not be able to really threaten your position!"

"Virgil Bixia is dealing with Vorster with great fanfare this time, and the main purpose is to warn you and Vorster. He just wants to tell you that as long as he reigns for a day, you will not try to take control of your military power. ”

"Edlaide is much smarter than you in this regard, he took the initiative to give up military power, and he has become the biggest winner in this round of competition!"

"How come I never knew about this?"

"I also just got the news that Virgil Bixia asked Audrey to test Edlaide, and he rejected a few suggestions to take charge of the army. Not only that, but he also offered to return to the territory, but in the end he was denied. I think it's the main reason why he was promoted to duke!"

"So to speak. Edlaide doesn't have any ambitions?" Abraham looked nervously at his uncle in front of him as he asked the question.

"Ambition and desire are gradually cultivated! As he grows older and more experienced, and the people around him help him, sooner or later he will have some ideas. It's just that I haven't seen this in him yet, otherwise Hearst wouldn't have been kicked out!"

"Edlaide is definitely a masterpiece of your father, and his mother chose to drift away when her relationship with your father was at its hottest, and Virgil Bixia has always been haunted by her. These tangled emotions will give Edlaide great benefits, and as long as he can maintain this desireless state all the time, his status will skyrocket. And the reason for this, I'm afraid even your father is difficult to explain. ”

"Whoever you and Vorster can catch Edlaide's ride first, who will have the advantage and initiative in the future battle for succession!"

"Vorster will also see this, and he will definitely do his best to destroy the possibility of an alliance between you and Edlaide while trying his best to get closer to Edlaide!"

"So you have to be fast, you have to get ahead of Vorster and do everything!"

"What if Ed waits until the day he has full wings, and he suddenly changes his mind?"

"Then you can only rely on your own means, and see which of the three of you is the strongest!"

When a high-ranking general like Edlaide returned to Beijing, the person in charge of the military department's temporary residence of the senior general outside the city certainly did not dare to delay and immediately transmitted the news back to the military headquarters.

At this time, Belloc, who had already been stationed in the military headquarters, received the news, and did not have time to go home to see his injured son, so he immediately hurried into the palace and reported the matter to Virgil Bixia in person.

What Belloc didn't expect was that Virgil Bixia, who had always been very concerned about Edlaide, just said "Got it!" and then disappeared.

"Bixia, Duke Edlaide has made a great contribution to the country this time, are we organizing a welcoming ceremony? it can be regarded as an affirmation of our hero's return!" Beloc asked tentatively.

"The role of a soldier is to win in battle, he just does what he is supposed to do, there is nothing to be affirmed. He's still a kid after all, don't let those illusory things dazzle his eyes!"

"Tomorrow, according to the normal procedure, you will send someone to send him the official document allowing him to enter the city, help him borrow a horse from the temporary residence of the senior general, and let him ride back to Beijing. ”

"In addition, I ordered him not to go home first, and rush directly to the military headquarters, and then you will take him into the palace to report on his work!"

"Yes, Bixia! "Belloc was ready to take his leave.

"This matter is not in a hurry, you better go home and see Clemens first! I heard that the little guy is not lightly injured this time, how is it now?"

"There is Lao Bixia to worry about, Clemens has basically recovered, there is no big problem!" Belloc couldn't help but be a little frightened when he heard Virgil Bixia actually ask about his son.

"It's good that it's okay! This time he returned to Beijing and asked him to assist Ed, although his official position is a little lower at present, as long as he can make achievements, the court will never bury his talent!"

Clemens took over as the sheriff of Filano City, which had been vacant since Li Zijun left, and he became Li Zijun's direct subordinate, which is why Virgil Bixia said this.

"When he goes back, he must urge him to do his job well and never disappoint Bixia's expectations!" Belloc bowed.

Seeing Virgil Bixia smiling and waving to himself, Belloc hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Virgil Bixia watched Belloc's hurried footsteps, and had already concluded that he would never return home until he had fulfilled his orders. Virgil couldn't help but smile and shake his head, this Belloc was loyal enough, but only a little dull, but this was one of the main reasons why he admired him.

Virgil Bixia turned his head and summoned one of the chamberlains, and after a few words, he began to continue to review the official documents in his hand, as if he had forgotten that Edlaide was about to enter Beijing.

The eldest prince Vorster soon heard about Edlaide's return to Beijing, and soon after, he received a report that Hearst had been kicked out of the room by Edlaide.

"It seems that Edlaide has already rejected the invitation of the sixth prince, you don't have to worry too much about this matter!" Blanche said casually as he threw the two pieces of information on the table.

"It's not that simple! Isn't it worth our wariness that Edlaide has refused to be visited by everyone along the way, but has only met with Hearst?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Li Zijun originally had the idea of forming an alliance with Abraham, but Hearst didn't know that Weishenme had stimulated him, so he was kicked out of the room. ”

"I believe that it will not be long before Abraham will come out himself. The Emperor is preparing to deal with the Southern Legion, and if they succeed in reaching an agreement at this point, we will probably have a hard time coming to an end!" Vorster said worriedly.

"We can also form an alliance with Edlaide, it's a big deal that we can offer more favorable terms!"

"My aggressive performance in the race for the position of Minister of War must have made Edlaide jealous. And with Abraham's deliberate push, Edlaide and I have become inseparable enemies! Edlaide may not be fully convinced of this, but he will inevitably be affected to a certain extent, and he will be wary of us. In addition, the coincidence of his assassination in the Monlin Empire is also very likely to make him suspicious of us. At this time, no matter how big the price we pay, Edlaide is not necessarily willing to cooperate with us!"

"No, except for the two of us, no one else in the Dongyu Empire knows about this matter, how could Edlaide guess that we were attacking him?"

"When we decided to deal with him, he was just an ordinary high-level martial artist, and with his strength, it was difficult to detect the true identity of the assassin!"

"But who would have thought that his ascension speed would be so fast, when the assassin made his move, he was already a sword saint! Not only that, but he also had two of the world's top masters in the Youlan Continent by his side at that time. Under such circumstances, he could not have known anything about the Assassins!"

"As long as he has the slightest suspicion about this, do you think he can still cooperate with us?"

"What should we do then? Will we just watch Abraham and Edlaide unite against us? It will be extremely difficult for us to deal with your father's pressure in the future, and if we are suppressed by their joint efforts, it will be questionable whether we can maintain our original foundation, let alone take off your 'agent' hat on your head. ”

"Since my father has appointed Bob as the commander of the Northern Legion, he will not completely disintegrate my Shili in the Southern Legion, and he is doing this more to warn me not to think about getting into trouble!"

"It's just that their union will indeed be a problem, and it is not appropriate for you and me to come forward in this matter, only by the efforts of the fifth child. We don't seek an alliance with Edlaide, we only want him to remain neutral between me and Abraham. Vorster said helplessly.

Early the next morning, as soon as Li Zijun finished his practice, the heralds of the military department arrived at their temporary residence. The person in charge here did not dare to slack off, and immediately took the herald to the small courtyard where Li Zijun lived.

Although Li Zijun felt that Belloc's order to rush to the military headquarters immediately was a bit unreasonable, but the military order was a military order, and there was no room for sloppiness, so he immediately packed his bags and borrowed a war horse from the person in charge of the temporary residence according to the order, and then rushed to the military headquarters with the herald.

Just a distance from the city gate, Li Zijun saw a group of people waiting there from a distance, and when he saw a few people at the front of the team, he hurriedly jumped off his horse.

Although Li Zijun has not lived in Filano City for a long time, it is impossible for him not to have any impression of a big man like the fifth prince Dennis!

Although Li Zijun felt that the fifth prince appeared here today to welcome him, and vaguely guessed some of his purposes, but because he and the fifth prince only knew each other and had never had any friendship with each other, he was a little skeptical of his judgment.

It's just that no matter what, Li Zijun can't turn a blind eye to the five princes, he jumped off his horse and walked forward quickly to salute the five princes.

See Li Zijun. The fifth prince, Dennis, strode up with a smile on his face.

"On behalf of Filano City, I welcome the return of the hero!" the fifth prince hugged Li Zijun to stop him from saluting.

"The prince praised it falsely!" Li Zijun hurriedly said modestly.

"Excessive modesty equals pride! Don't shirk, you definitely deserve the title of hero!" said the fifth prince Dennis, who slapped Li Zijun's shoulder fiercely.

Hearing the fifth prince say this, Li Zijun didn't know how to take it for a while.

"I know you're on military duty today, so I won't delay you too much. But how can a hero come back without wine? You have to drink this bowl of wine with me before leaving!" said the fifth prince as he waved his hand for his men to bring two large bowls of wine.

In front of everyone's eyes, of course, Li Zijun didn't want to roll up the face of the fifth prince, he drank it all after clinking glasses with the fifth prince!

"Okay, I know you're bold enough!" the fifth prince said loudly after watching Li Zijun drink this cup with him.

"It's just that it's not as strong as your 'burning knife' on the Seine Peninsula!" the fifth prince whispered in Li Zijun's ear.

"If the fifth prince likes it, go back to see how many collections there are in the mansion later, and let the next person send it to you later. Li Zijun smiled and said.

"Then it's decided, you don't need to send someone, I'll go to the house tomorrow to get myself!" the fifth prince raised his voice with joy.

Li Zijun didn't expect the fifth prince to come uninvited, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"What, you can't bear it again?" the fifth prince said angrily when he saw Li Zijun's expression.

As long as there is no new order tomorrow night, I will definitely be waiting for you at home!" Li Zijun hurriedly bowed his hand to the fifth prince.

"Then it's decided, you hurry up and go to Beijing to resume your life!" the fifth prince smiled and let Li Zijun leave.

Seeing the mount that the herald had led for Li Zijun, the fifth prince's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he returned to normal and waved goodbye to Li Zijun.

Although the change in Dennis's expression was extremely subtle, he was still caught by Li Zijun. Originally, he just thought that the war horses prepared in the temporary residence were all for the service of senior generals, so he was a little more powerful, but seeing Dennis's expression, this horse was obviously not simple! This also made Li Zijun have doubts in his heart. It's just that Li Zijun was about to rush to the military headquarters, and he had to hide this mystery in his heart for the time being.

Soon Li Zijun and the heralds of the military department entered the city of Firano, and the endless stream of pedestrians on the streets forced them to slow down. At this moment, a shadow flashed in front of Li Zijun.

"Winnie?!" Li Zijun exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly jumped off his horse.

"Ed!" Winnie burst into tears as she said these two words, unable to make any more sounds.

Li Zijun didn't care that he was still on the street at the moment, and he hugged Winnie tightly into his arms.

"Winnie, I'm finally back alive!"

Winnie just let Li Zijun hug her for a while, and finally realized that they had become the focus of everyone, she hurriedly said that Li Zijun gently pushed away.

At this time, Winnie's maid also came over with a small bowl of wine.

Li Zijun understood Winnie's intentions, and took a full sip of the wine glass.

"Burn the knife?" Li Zijun looked at Winnie in surprise.

Winnie looked at Li Zijun narrowly, smiled slightly, and turned to leave.

"I'm waiting for you at the house!" At the moment when Winnie turned around, Li Zijun heard her sweet voice.

"I'll go to your house tomorrow to propose!" Li Zijun was encouraged by Winnie and shouted loudly as he looked at her back.

Winnie didn't expect Li Zijun to shout these words on the street, although she felt unusually sweet in her heart, but it also made her ashamed, and hurriedly accelerated the pace of leaving.

Li Zijun was about to get on his horse and continue his journey, but suddenly saw Fred not far from him!

"Big brother, why are you here too?" Li Zijun said with some embarrassment when he thought of the scene where he had just confessed to Winnie.

"If I don't come, I'm afraid I'll miss a romantic confession!" Fred teased as he looked at Li Zijun.

"Big brother, I heard that you weren't much better than me when you confessed to your sister-in-law!" Li Zijun couldn't help but sneer.

During the time when Li Zijun was on the run, Fred finally found his true love. But according to Clemens, Fred was so nervous at the time that it became one of the few jokes on Fred!

"For more than a year, you've learned badly!" This matter was definitely Fred's weakness, and in the face of Li Zijun's attack, he could only smile bitterly and shake his head.
