Chapter 103: Old Ji Twilight
"The reason why the eldest princess did this, she must have received an order from Empress Athena, the queen doesn't want the eldest princess to participate in the chaos of the Menglin Empire, the queen is planning for the eldest princess to compete for the heir of Menglin in the future!"
"Is this possible? Although there is no such thing as an heir having to pass on to a prince in the Youlan Continent, and even the Fengqi Empire is an empire that is exclusively passed on by women, but it is in other empires after all. We in the Monlin Empire are used to having men inherit the throne, and will Heller Bixia really break this habit of Monlin?" Gavin said as he looked at his father questioningly.
"I'm afraid that Heller Bixia will have to do it then!"
"The eldest prince and the third prince are looking forward to that position, will they be so willing to be eliminated?"
"In a few days, it is a question of whether they will be able to keep the prince's position, and the rest is even more difficult to say!"
"Listen to what you say, Monlin is about to have a big change in the near future. But now I don't even see the slightest sign of it, so where did this great change come from?"
"From my assassination!"
"What?" Gavin heard his father's words and immediately stood up from his chair. He looked at his father in surprise, not knowing that his father, Weishenme, would say this.
"Sit down!, why are you so frizzy when you're so big!" Yule waved his hand to make Gavin sit down in front of him again. It's just that although Gavin is still sitting there, his heart has already turned over a thousand waves, and he feels that what his father is going to say next must be very important, and he can't help but cheer up his spirits.
"Actually, my fate has been sealed since the day Heller Bixia reactivated me!I was turned into a bait by Heller, a bait ready to be discarded at any time! Whether the fish in the water is hooked or not, the fate of the bait is doomed!" Yule said this, acting as flat as ever, as if he was completely indifferent to life and death, but Gavin sensed a strong dissatisfaction in his father's heart!
"Father, now that you and the eldest prince are in the limelight in the court, could it be that you misunderstood the meaning of Heller Bixia?"
"I dare say that I am one of the few people in the Monlin Empire who knows Heller best, and I know him and understand him even better than I know him! ”
"What is Heller Bixia doing this for?You are the best general in the Monlin Empire, how can he choose you as a bait?" Gavin heard Yule's words, his face flushed and he became excited.
"Don't look like this, listen to me finish slowly. ”
"Now some people can see Heller's intentions, but almost all of them think that Heller treated me like this because I violated the taboo of military generals - I supported one of the princes before Emperor Bixia chose a successor!"
Hearing his father say this, Gavin looked puzzled. Although Yule never directly offered Gavin to support the Grand Prince Tiffany, he often had Gavin follow him. In fact, even Gavin himself thought that this was his father's meaning, but he didn't expect that there were other reasons for this.
"Gavin, do you think I'm going to make such a childish mistake?" Yule asked with a wry smile.
"I've been encouraging you to get close to the eldest prince, and that's exactly what Heller Bixia meant! I thought he was letting me do this to imply to me that he had chosen an heir. It wasn't until later that I realized that Heller Bixia didn't mean that, but by the time I found out about it, it was too late, and I had already walked into the trap that Heller Bixia had set for me!"
"Father, I remember the time when you asked me to approach the eldest prince was the most critical moment for us to carry out the attack on the Dongyu Empire, and at that time it had already been decided that you were the commander-in-chief, and Heller Bixiaweishenme still had to do this?"
"I was puzzled at first, and it wasn't until a few days ago that I figured out the trick: Heller did this because I had opposed his jihua!"
"You've objected to this Jihua, weishenme, I've never heard you mention it?" Gavin looked at Yule in amazement as he heard so much amazing news from Yule's mouth today, his head was a little overwhelmed.
"Heller proposed this at a time when he had just ascended to the throne and was ready to do something big. As several of the main generals of the Monlin Empire, I participated in this jihua discussion. ”
"When I saw that the other generals had their eyes lit up when they heard this, I fell into a deep state of worry. I had the same idea as you at that time, and felt that the direction of responsibility of our Monlin Empire should be to the south. Only by taking down the Aojin Empire will we have the strength to compete with the Dongyu Empire. ”
"Although I had a different idea, I didn't bring it up at the meeting. It was only after the meeting that Heller was found alone to report the matter. Gavin finally noticed that his father was no longer known by the honorific title Heller 'Bixia'.
"At that time, Heller not only received me warmly, but also listened to my opinion very humbly, and said that he would consider my ideas in the future. It's just that it didn't take long for Heller to attack Jihua of the Dongyu Empire enter the stage of arrangement! When I heard the news, I was really shocked, and in order to save my life, I even thought about resigning and going home. ”
"But at this time, Heller suddenly took the initiative to find me and told me that I was about to be appointed as the commander-in-chief of Jihua. At that time, Heller behaved very sincerely, and he admitted to me that this jihua might have flaws, but he told me that this was his first jihua after taking office, and if he died like this, his prestige in the army would be completely ruined! So he had to take a gamble, and if he succeeded, he would lay the foundation for the overall situation in one fell swoop! And if he failed, he would stand up and take responsibility, and then turn around and carry out the jihua I had proposed earlier. At the same time, he asked me to be the commander-in-chief of the attack on the Dongyu Empire, and according to what he said at the time, 'Only General Yul can achieve my difficult Jihua'!"
"I was very moved to hear Heller's heartfelt words, and even though I knew that the odds were not good, I still took on the task without thinking about it. Even then I was ready to take responsibility for Heller!"
But in retrospect, Heller didn't want to take responsibility for her own Jihua at all! Including getting you close to Tiffany is also part of his jihua!"
"That way, Heller has plenty of reasons to get rid of me and then put all the blame on me. To cover up all his mistakes!"
"If it weren't for what happened later, the storm of the Monlin Empire's opposition would have been higher and higher! Heller Zuihou would have 'forced' to sentence me and send me directly to the guillotine! And because of this incident, not only was my head not cut off, but I was reactivated!"
"Is that the target to attract Heller Bixia?" Gavin finally thought of what Heller was using the bait for.
"Marquis of Edlaide of the Dongyu Empire!"
"Edlaide, hasn't he already returned to the Dongyu Empire, why is he involved in this matter again?"
"In fact, Edlaide has not returned to the Dongyu Empire, he has entered Khor Fakan. The news that came back from our mission before should be that the Dongyu Empire, in order to ensure the safety of Edlaide as much as possible, gave us a co-staged play that was fake and real!"
"Once again, Heller used his imagination to use me as bait to eliminate Edlaide and me in one fell swoop. ”
"How is this possible?"
Gavin, don't forget, Edlaide has one of the most outstanding characteristics, that is, he will repay him! Heller is ready to take advantage of this characteristic of Edlaide. ”
"He's trying to catch them all when Edlaide comes to assassinate you?
"Heller also knows that Edlaide is not a fool, and he will not assassinate me easily. Heller wants to use me to set up a game for Edlaide, as long as Edlaide is close to me, whether he actually makes a move or not, Heller will make a move at that moment!"
"Heller's Jihua this time is rare and thorough, but Edred is far smarter than he thought, and Heller is afraid that it will be a failure again!" Yule's face was full of ridicule.
"So, Colin will be the one who will make the final move, so Queen Athena will let the eldest princess pretend to be sick so that she can be alone in this matter?"
In Heller's eyes, among his children, only the eldest prince and the eldest princess barely have the ability to inherit the throne. His original intention was to make this rivalry clearer, but Empress Athena obviously didn't think so! Otherwise, Grand Duke Elvis would not have rushed to Khauerfakan at this time!"
"Grand Duke Elvis not only has a very high status among the local wealthy families, but also has a very strong strength in his hands, he appeared in the Eldest Princess's Mansion at this time just to show his support!"
"And according to this logic, it is very likely that Empress Athena has already concluded that the future heir of the Monlin Empire is Jima! In other words, Empress Athena thinks that after this assassination, the eldest prince should also lose the strength to compete! What do you think this means?"
"How could the eldest prince withdraw?" Gavin's expression suddenly stiffened.
"You mean framed?" Gavin looked at Yule in horror, and Yule nodded solemnly.
"Our house is the most important place to find evidence! In this way, Empress Athena has already murdered our whole family!"
"We don't have any taboo items in our house, so how could Empress Athena find evidence?"
"Silly son, this shijie still has the method of 'framing and framing', Queen Athena will never let go of this opportunity. ”
"Then what's the use of you seeing Mr. Nan Guo now, can he help you solve the problem?" Gavin paused slightly, his eyes flashing with a fine light.
"Mr. Nan Guo is the key to the problem, and only he can help us solve this problem!"
"Mr. Nan Guo is the Edlade of the Dongyu Empire?" Gavin frowned slightly when he heard his father say this, and then shook his head slightly.
"It's unlikely! I have sent someone to identify him, and the man said that Mr. Nan Guo and Edlaide himself have almost no resemblance except for his height! And I have also noticed that Mr. Nan Guo is not in a state of mind like a master. What's more, he just rode out of town for a spin and fell and was seriously injured, how can such a person be Edlaide?"
"Hurt in a fall?Gavin, you're not observing! Didn't you notice that Bradley was back in Khauerfkan?"
"Not only do I know, but I've seen him with my own eyes, and after such a long period of hunting, Bradley is also exhausted, and he doesn't seem to be in good spirits. But what does that mean?"
"Bradley is a Juggernaut, how can ordinary fatigue affect his spirit? And did you ever think that he would suddenly return to Khor Fakkan?"
"You're saying that Bradley isn't in bad spirits, but he's injured! He and Edlaide are both defeated again! This also explains that Mr. Nan Guo Weishenme just went out of the city and came back seriously injured!"
"Not only that, Bradley is back in Holfakan at this time, if you think that he has given up the pursuit of Edlaide, then you are very wrong!
"Then he doesn't directly expose Edlaide's identity?" Gavin blurted out the question, but Yule didn't answer him, but looked at him, waiting for him to find out for himself.
Gavin didn't make Yule wait long, and he immediately showed a look of sudden realization.
"If Bradley reveals Edlaide's identity, he will completely lose the possibility of continuing to hunt down Edlaide!"
"This is also the sorrow of our Monlin Empire, many people have guessed Edlaide's identity, but there is no way to deal with him clearly!" Yule said with a sigh.
"Could it be that you have already guessed his identity, so why don't you tell me earlier?"
"I was going to pretend that nothing happened, and then deal a fatal blow to Edlaide when he was about to leave Khauerfrakan!"
"Only now, I've completely lost the motivation to do so!"
"I have been completely abandoned by my motherland, and I have to offend such a strong enemy for him!"
"Since you're ready to let him go, do you want to see him?"
"For you!"
"Me?" Gavin was a little confused.
"After I die, someone will come to my door to collect incriminating evidence, and I can't give them this chance! And if you continue to stay in Beijing, sooner or later they will find some tricks. Therefore, you can no longer stay in this place of the Monlin Empire!You are the link between my children and subordinates and the eldest prince, without you, the rest of the military will naturally turn to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, which is exactly what Queen Athena wants!"
"In such a situation, Athena will never allow you to continue to live on this shijie, and your safety will be greatly threatened!"
"The Monlin Empire has no place for me, where can I go?" Gavin realized that he was about to be homeless!
"The Seine Peninsula!"
"Edlaide's domain, you want to beg him to take me in, how can he take me in with your relationship with him?"
"Originally, I was still a little worried, but I just heard your analysis of the war between Monlin and Dongyu, as well as the outlook for the future development direction of Monlin, and Edlaide will be willing to take you in!"
"Actually, I think Edlaide has a bigger characteristic: it doesn't take waste!
"Father, shall we leave together?"
"If I don't die, you can't do without Khorfakan, so I must die! It's just that you're afraid you're going to have to change your name and surname!"
"Father, if you resign and go into hiding, maybe Heller Bixia will let us go?"
"No way! And the longer I live, the more angry he will be with me, and the more difficult your life will be in the future! Since sooner or later you will die, it is more worthwhile for me not to die?" Yule said with a rare smile.
"Father!" Gavin watched as Yule and the group burst into tears.
"I just want to act like I didn't even notice Heller's mind now, so that your future path will be better!This matter is only known to you, and don't let your other siblings know!" Yule emphasized, and Gavin tearfully agreed.
Hearing that DeWitt came to ask for a meeting, Li Zijun and Camilla both showed puzzled expressions, they really couldn't figure out what DeWitt's purpose was here. However, as slave caravans from the Tibetan Empire, they could not refuse DeWitt's request, and after obtaining the consent of Grand Duke Elvis, they received DeWitt in their own courtyard.
"Gavin wants to meet you, and this is the invitation he asked me to send you. He begs you not to tell anyone about it, whether you accept his invitation or not!" DeWitt did not procrastinate, and directly stated the purpose of the trip.
Li Zijun hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and accepted Gavin's invitation. Seeing that his goal had been achieved, DeWitt immediately got up and left!
"What the hell does Gavin mean, he deliberately avoided us some time ago, why did he suddenly ask you to meet today?" Camila looked at the invitation letter DeWitt had left behind, her face full of puzzlement.
"The person who invited me is not Gavin, it's Yule, he must have discovered his predicament, and he is ready to talk to me for the sake of his family and his descendants. Li Zijun said thoughtfully.
"Could this be a trap, or a trap?"
"Probably not! I'm Zuihou's hope for Yule, and as far as I can see, Yule isn't the kind of general who is stupid. Once he senses that he is about to be betrayed, he will never stand still, and there is no need for him to die for Heller at this time!"
"You promised to see Yule for no other purpose, did you?"
"Of course, Yule is the great general of the Monlin Empire! With his personal help, it is even more likely that I will leave the Monlin Empire safely!"
"That's all?"
"I promise you!" Li Zijun said with one hand on his chest.
"But I have one more small request for you?"
"Oh, it's not going to be for me to help you kill Yule, is it?"
"It's not that complicated! I just want to bother my aunt and grandmother to come with me. With you by my side to protect me, I will also feel safer!" Li Zijun understood that Camilla must not be worried about going to see Yule alone, so he took the initiative to speak out without waiting for Camilla to speak.
Camila looked at Li Zijun and smiled, with the meaning of 'you know each other' in her eyes.
After dinner the next day, Li Zijun and Camilla came to the back kitchen of the eldest princess's mansion together according to the location marked on the invitation. When they first saw this rendezvous place, they were also shocked, they didn't expect that Yule could actually install his shili in this place. Yule was able to become the number one general of the Monlin Empire, and it was really not in vain!
Camila closed her eyes and stayed for a while outside the back door, then turned her head and nodded to Li Zijun.
"There are only two people in there, and neither of them is your opponent, you can go in alone!"
"Aren't you with me?"
"The conversation between you and Yule isn't for me to listen to, I'd better stay here and wait for you. This way I can also take care of the situation outside so that your conversation is not disturbed unnecessarily. ”
When Li Zijun heard Camilla say this, he no longer insisted, walked forward and pushed open the door of the back kitchen, and walked in alone.
After walking into the back kitchen, Li Zijun saw a faint oil lamp not far away to guide him. Although Camilla had the judgment, Li Zijun still looked around, and at the same time spread his true qi all over his body, allowing himself to completely enter the state of the realm.
Almost at the same time, Li Zijun felt in his heart that everything in this room was under control. He could clearly feel the old and young people beside the oil lamp, and the sound of their slightly heavy breathing betrayed their mood at the moment. Especially that young man, Li Zijun could even feel the nervousness in his heart.
Compared with the young man, the old man's performance was much more normal, and he gave Li Zijun the feeling of a veteran of the battlefield who had been weathered for a long time and was not shocked at every turn. It's just that Li Zijun felt a strong twilight aura in his body, and there was no hope of life in this person's heart, which made Li Zijun's heart rise a trace of compassion! Li Zijun had already judged that this person was Yuer, the number one general of the Menglin Empire!
Li Zijun was inevitably a little nervous about meeting Yuer, a famous Menglin general. In order to hide his mood at the moment, he quickly adjusted his breathing and pace as he went, and put on a relaxed smile on his face as much as possible. He strode over to Yule and Gavin, and sat down on the chair across from Yule.
"General Gavin, every time I see you in the sun, I suddenly see you in such a dark corner, I don't know what words to use to describe my current mood!" Li Zijun said with a slight expression.
