"Okay, let's not attack each other between our brothers, I know that you are in the military, so I won't delay your time too much, you have drunk the reception wine of the people in front of you, you won't miss me this glass!" Fred had two more identical big names in his hand as if he was playing a trick, and he handed the wine bowl in his right hand in front of Li Zijun.

Li Zijun clearly remembers that Fred was a left-hander. According to the habit, he should have handed the wine bowl in his left hand to Li Zijun, but he forcibly changed this habit.

"I want to drink the bowl of wine in your left hand!" Li Zijun knew that Fred was teaching himself, and he smiled and pointed to Fred's hand.

"Are you sure?" Fred asked, frowning slightly.

"I'm sure!" Li Zijun smiled and snatched the wine bowl in Fred's left hand and drank it in one gulp.

At the moment when the liquid taste entered Li Zijun's nostrils, he showed a wry smile, it seems that he is still not as smart as Fred, he was fooled!

But as soon as Li Zijun's thought came to mind, Fred's coughing sound was heard.

"Big brother, how can you drink?" Li Zijun also smelled the same wine on Fred.

"How can the eldest brother drink water today, for the sake of our relatives!" Fred's face was slightly red, and he raised the wine glass in his hand to Li Zijun slightly.

"For our loved ones!" Li Zijun drank the bowl of wine with red eyes after clinking glasses with Fred.

At this time, someone had already recognized Li Zijun, and they all guessed the intention of the words between him and Fred.

In the two major battles between the north and the south, the relatives of many people in the city died on the battlefield, and when they saw Li Zijun and Fred's appearance, they all felt empathy, and many people around them had red eyes, and some people had even begun to sobb softly.

"Don't cry, everyone!" Li Zijun said loudly as he looked around.

When the onlookers heard Li Zijun's voice, they were all slightly stunned, and then the surroundings quieted down, and their eyes were focused on Li Zijun alone.

"At the beginning of the battle, I made an oath with my brothers that I would make those robbers pay the price of their crimes with blood! We have always witnessed our oath with blood and our lives! In the end we have won!"

"My brothers are heroes, they don't want us to see them off with tears, they need us to be proud, proud of them!"

"Do you really think of them as brothers, my lord?" suddenly someone in the crowd asked.

"Those who have fought with me in bloody battles are all my brothers!" Li Zijun said with a fist slamming his chest. After looking around again with sincere and solemn eyes, he jumped on his horse and continued to rush to the military headquarters.

Everyone was recalling the deep meaning of Li Zijun's words, and a hot light flashed in their eyes, and they looked in the direction where Li Zijun left.

Compared to the others, Fred's reaction seemed to be a little slower this time, and it wasn't until a gentle woman appeared in front of him that he woke up from his thoughts.

"Is this what you call the Marquis of Edlaide?" the woman whispered, placing her hands on Fred's shoulders.

"He's a lot more mature than he was when he left! what do you think?" Fred turned to look at the woman, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Whoever can say that, I don't think he's going to be a bad guy at least!"

"It's a bit too easy to judge him as a good or bad person!" Fred said with a wry smile as he gently stroked the gentle woman's hand.

When Li Zijun was still some distance from the military headquarters, Belloc received the news, and he immediately rushed outside the military department to prepare to meet Li Zijun.

What Beloc didn't expect was that the eldest prince Vorster was already waiting here, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute the eldest prince.

Although the two sides are on the same page in private, they are still courteous and courteous on the surface.

The eldest prince Vorster smiled and nodded to Belloc, and waited with him for Li Zijun to appear.

Not long after Li Zijun turned the street, he saw two people in front of the military department, and he hurriedly jumped off his horse.

After seeing Li Zijun's mount, Vorster and Belloc were both slightly stunned, and then Bellok's eyes flashed with a look of sudden realization, while Vorster frowned slightly.

"How dare the villain bother the prince and Lord Belloc to go out to greet them, what a villain's sin!" Li Zijun hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to the two.

"The Grand Duke is a meritorious hero of the country, and you deserve such treatment!" said the eldest prince who stepped forward and patted Li Zijun on the shoulder with a smile.

"You still have official business today, I'll pick up the wind and wash the dust for you another day!" the eldest prince turned to leave after greeting him, and the moment he turned around, his afterglow glanced at Li Zijun's mount again.

"Grand Duke, please come inside!" Belloc turned sideways and let Li Zijun go first.

"My lord, Yu Gong, you are my superior, Yu Zhi, you are my elder! You treat me like this, how can I go to see Clemens in the future?" Li Zijun said as he pushed Belloc to walk in front.

Belloc smiled and didn't insist, and took Li Zijun to his office room.

"My lord, will I report to you?" Li Zijun said, taking out his report from the space ring.

"This time, the Grand Duke doesn't need to report to me, you follow me into the palace in a while and report directly to Bixia. Belloc raised his hand and ordered his men to bring the hangover soup.

"You drink this first to relieve the hangover, and when your alcohol is a little worse, we will enter the palace. ”

Before Li Zijun arrived here, he had already used his inner lining to drain the alcohol in his body, but he couldn't refuse Bellok's good intentions, so he still drank this bowl of hangover soup.

"I haven't had time to congratulate the adults on their ascension, and the little meaning is not a tribute!"

After Li Zijun put down the soup bowl, he took out the haode gift that had been prepared from his arms and handed it to Belloc's hand.

"The Grand Duke is polite!" Belloc did not refuse, and accepted Li Zijun's gift with a smile.

"My lord, the villain is nothing, we might as well go into the palace to report at this moment, what do you think?"

"Grand Duke, you are so drunk! Since you have nothing to do, we don't want Bixia to wait for a long time, so I will take you into the palace to report to Bixia. Belloc originally wanted his subordinates to prepare the carriage, but then he thought of Li Zijun's mount, and he changed his mind and ordered his subordinates to lead his war horse.

In this way, Beloc and Li Zijun each took two retinues and rushed to the palace.

When they arrived at the palace gate, Belloc also showed his token, and the palace guard only glanced at Li Zijun's mount and let them go.

"My lord, is there anything wrong with this mount of mine, why do I feel like many people are familiar with it?" Li Zijun asked as he looked at Belloc in confusion.

"This is one of Bixia's favorite mounts, 'Treading the Waves', and the fact that he actually lent you this horse shows that Bixia values you!" Belloc explained to Li Zijun with a smile.

"Treading the waves!" Li Zijun's heart moved, this old man was really meaningful, he shook his head and smiled, and followed Belloc towards the palace. In this place, they did not dare to gallop their horses, so they could only leave their horses to be taken care of by others, and they entered on foot.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at the palace where Virgil Bixia worked. The chamberlain had been waiting here for a long time, and without informing, he directly brought them into the palace.

After Belloc and Li Zijun greeted Virgil Bixia together, Belloc was assigned a seat, and Li Zijun stood in front of Virgil Bixia alone.

"Our hero has a good amount of wine, he can still stand here after drinking three bowls!" Virgil Bixia glanced at Li Zijun coldly and said dissatisfiedly. Obviously, Li Zijun's experience from leaving his temporary residence to entering the palace has been reported in detail to Virgil Bixia.

Although Virgil Bixia's tone was stern, Li Zijun still heard the strong care!

For so many years, Li Zijun has always been able to feel Virgil Bixia's meticulous care for him, and he has always doubted the authenticity of the rumors about Edlaide and Virgil Bixia!

It's just that Count Acheson and several sisters care for him with absolute sincerity, and there is no half-fake and contrived in the midterm, which also makes Li Zijun more and more confused about Edlaide's true identity.

Hearing Fergil Bixia's questioning, Li Zijun didn't explain anything, just looked at him and smirked.

"A general, who is willing to risk his life for his own soldiers, if something really happens to you, where do you put the northern part of the empire safe?"

"With the skills of a great swordsman, since you dare to launch a counter-charge against three hundred elite soldiers, your kid's courage is really not small!"

"The minister knows it's wrong!" An inexplicable emotion dominated Li Zijun and knelt down in front of Virgil Bixia.

Seeing Edlaide suddenly fall to his knees, Virgil Bixia was slightly stunned, and forgot for a moment that he was preparing to reprimand!

"Although it is a bit reckless for the Grand Duke to do that, after all, he is still for the sake of the public, and sometimes he is even forced to do so, and I hope Bixia will forgive him!" Belloc was taken aback when he saw Fergiel Bixia reprimanding Li Zijun, but then he found that Fergil Bixia's statement was not a monarch's dissatisfaction with some actions of his subordinates, he was more like a loving father's concern for his son's safety. With such a discovery, Belloc was naturally happy to do this and the old thing.

"I'll spare you today on the face of Belloc, but if you take such a reckless risk in the future, be careful that I revoke your duke's title!" Virgil Bixia said as if he were more severe, but in fact his love for Edlaide became more and more obvious!

After Virgil Bixia taught Li Zijun a lesson, he began to let him report on his work.

After Li Zijun got permission, he got up and took out his debriefing report, detailing his specific situation as the logistics minister of the northern reinforcement army and later as the temporary commander. Zuihou, he also briefly mentioned his personal experience after leaving the brigade.

Virgil Bixia and Belloc have always maintained a high level of attention to Li Zijun, and they both know more about what happened to Li Zijun during this time. But at this time, listening to Li Zijun himself, they were still shocked into a cold sweat!

"It's been hard for you for more than a year!" Virgil Bixia sighed.

"Originally, I wanted you to rest for a few more days, but now it seems that there is no such time! The Turk-Hungarian mission headed by the Empress Dowager Julie has already set out, and they will soon arrive at Wimbledon. ”

"I'm going to order you to cooperate with Prime Minister Alec to negotiate with the Turk-Hungarian mission at Wimbledon, do you think there is any problem?"

"Cooperate with Prime Minister Alec?" asked Li Zijun in surprise.

If there is anyone else in Filano City who can make Li Zijun feel afraid, this Prime Minister Alec is definitely the best choice!

This elder, who is very likely to become Li Zijun's future father-in-law, has never given him a good face from the first time he saw him.

As the prime minister of the Dongyu Empire, Alec's wisdom is praised by the entire empire, and he has already discovered that what happened to Vinnie in the camp mansion is no accident! He can't do anything to Fergiel Bixia and camp, he vented all the anger in his heart on Li Zijun. Although Alec felt that Li Zijun was not involved in this jihua, this did not prevent him, like all fathers who have daughters, no matter how he looked at Li Zijun, who was about to become his son-in-law, he felt unpleasant!

But Li Zijun has a deep love for Winnie, which also makes him have an abnormal fear in his heart every time he faces Alec.

At this time, when he heard that he was going to cooperate with Alec, Li Zijun's face turned a little pale with fright.

"Why, you don't want to?"

"Bixia, can you change someone?" Li Zijun begged in embarrassment.

"Due to the behavior of the Turk-Hungarian Empire to take advantage of the fire, although I agreed to negotiate with them, I rejected Queen Julie's request to go to Beijing, and they can only enter Wimbledon at most south!"

"It's just that Queen Julie has a noble status, and of course our negotiators must be worthy of her status. Therefore, I have chosen Alec and you as our representatives. ”

"Alec doesn't need to say that as the prime minister, one person is above ten thousand, and after the knighthood ceremony in three days, you will officially become the duke of the Dongyu Empire. The use of the two of you as our negotiators is also an expression of our respect for the Turk-Hungarian Empire. ”

"Empress Julie?" Li Zijun only then realized that Virgil Bixia had a different name for Julie.

"Just when you returned from the Monlin Empire, the Archduke, Noskibixia of the Turk-Hungarian Empire had passed away, and now Luther succeeded to the throne and became the new monarch of the Turk-Hungarian Empire, and Empress Julie was also promoted to the queen mother!" Belloc explained to Li Zijun after receiving instructions from Virgil Bixia.

"Where is Boyle now?"

Boyle, who was helping Luther to familiarize himself with the government, was not on the list of negotiators. Belloc replied.

"Bixia, as far as I know, our negotiations with the Monlin mission are not over, so why don't we invite the Turk-Hungarian mission to Beijing as well. With them putting pressure on each other, we may be able to achieve greater gains!" Li Zijun tried every means to escape the fate of becoming Alec's deputy.

"At the time the Turk-Hungarian Empire sent us a request for negotiations, our negotiations with Monlin were nearing completion, and they had made certain concessions verbally. In that case, we rejected their first request in order to act in the best interests of the people. ”

"Who would have thought that after the Grand Duke left Khauerfekan, due to the unexpected death of Colin, the third prince of Monlin, the attitude of the Monlin mission suddenly became tougher. At this time, the Empress Dowager Julie again made a request for negotiations, and in order to maintain pressure on the Monlin mission, we agreed to the resumption of negotiations between the Turks and Hungary. ”

"Bixia's request to us is to keep the Turks and Hungary hopeful, but always in a weak position, so that it will be easier for us to obtain greater benefits at the negotiating table, which is why we chose to negotiate with the Queen Julie at Wimbledon. ”

"The death of Colin, the third prince of Monlin, has nothing to do with me, he died at the hands of Gibran!" Li Zijun explained seriously.

"How is this possible!, Grand Duke, I don't doubt your claim. I just don't understand, Gibran is Empress Athena's most loyal follower, how could he kill Empress Athena's only son?" Beloc saw Fergill Bixia's eyes, and he asked Li Zijun stubbornly.

"I don't know that Gibran Weishenme would do this, and I doubt even my own claim. But I did see Gibran kill Colin clearly!" Li Zijun said with a frown.

This also made Empress Athena receive the sympathy and support of everyone both at home and abroad. And she also corrected Heller's mistakes in time, so that the Monlin Empire returned to peace in a short period of time, this woman is by no means simple!" Virgil Bixia had already believed Li Zijun's words, and he couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Athena's performance after Li Zijun left.

"I feel that I am more familiar with the habits and practices of the Monlin people, can I join the negotiations with the Monlin Mission?"

"Abraham has been in charge of our negotiator with Monlin, do you think you will perform better than the Sixth Prince?" said Fergil lightly.

"Don't dare, Weichen just hopes to be able to help the sixth prince through his own efforts!" Li Zijun didn't dare to admit Virgil Bixia's statement, he hurriedly explained to himself.

"The list of our negotiations with the Turks and Hungary has been sent to Julie, and it is absolutely impossible to change it! You have used the past few days to learn more about the details of the negotiations from Prime Minister Alec, as well as the various problems that may be encountered in the negotiation process!"

"Yes!" Li Zijun knew that it was impossible to change Virgil Bixia's decision, so he had no choice but to accept the order.

"Julie is a woman after all, and it is indeed a little inconvenient for you two big men to negotiate with her. I had heard that Alec's beloved daughter, Winnie, was gentle and lovely, and I had suggested that Prime Minister Alec take her with him during the negotiations, and Prime Minister Alec agreed to my suggestion. At that time, Winnie will also appear at the negotiation table, and having her in it will be more conducive to the smooth progress of the negotiation!" Virgil Bixia said with a smile when she saw Li Zijun's embarrassed look.

Hearing that Winnie would also appear on the journey, Li Zijun's hazy sky seemed to have a slight ray of light, and his mood instantly improved a lot, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Li Zijun rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion early the next day, and the subordinates had received an order from Prime Minister Alec before, and invited him directly to Prime Minister Alec's study.

Seeing Edlaide sitting respectfully in front of him like a schoolboy, Alec couldn't help but sigh secretly.

In terms of Edlaide's identity, appearance, and status, he definitely meets Agec's criteria for choosing a son-in-law. But the thought of his complicated life story makes Alec feel a headache that he can't stop hauling! He always fears that his marriage to Edlaide will bring an unpredictable crisis to his family, which has also caused him to keep Edlaide and Winnie from contacting.

It's just that after the incident at Camp House, Alec understands that Edlaide and Vinnie's marriage is irrevocable! This is not only because Winnie was seen by Edlaide, but most importantly, because of Virgil's strong intervention.

Alec had already thought of a bureau for everything that happened on the camp house, a bureau dedicated to Vinnie. No matter how bold Camp was, he wouldn't have dared to calculate Alec like this without the support of Virgil Bixia. And then a series of actions of Virgil Bixia also verified this!

Alec had conceived of stopping Edlaide from interacting with Vinnie by giving up everything he had, but he soon realized that if he gave up his position as prime minister, he would be ousted from his position as head of the house. And the new head of the family will never hold on to Virgil Bixia for too long, and will even take the initiative to cater to Virgil Bixia's idea, agreeing to the marriage of Winnie and Edlaide at a speed he can't imagine. In the end, Alec had no choice but to give in!

The dignified prime minister of the empire couldn't control his daughter's marriage, which also made Alec's anger rise to the extreme, and Li Zijun became the only way to vent his anger. Gradually, Li Zijun also developed the habit of walking around him.

Alec knew very well that Li Zijun was afraid of himself in his heart, and he also knew how reluctant he was to sit here, and he suddenly felt a little more proud in his heart!

"I don't know what the Grand Duke thinks and opinions about our negotiations with the Turk-Hungarian Empire this time?" Alec couldn't help but sneer secretly when he saw that at the beginning of his speech, Li Zijun was actually frightened.

"Prime Minister, you still call me 'Ed', you are my elder and my boss, I really don't dare to let you call me 'Grand Duke'. Li Zijun said with a smile.

Alec looked at Li Zijun and nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with his suggestion.

"You are an expert in this area, Bixia ordered me to take your deputy position just to give me a chance to learn, I don't have any ideas and opinions!"

Alec was about to embarrass Li Zijun, but suddenly saw his daughter's figure, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

Alec knew that no matter how much he objected, he could not change the fact that Winnie was sincere about Li Zijun! It was for this reason that Alec finally convinced himself to accept Li Zijun.
