Chapter Eighty-Six: Fighting for Life
Yule has been learning about Edlaide in various ways for a while. He found that Edlaide had the advantage of not putting others at risk for his own sake. In fact, from some angles, this is also an Achilles heel of Edlaide!
It was based on this weakness that Yule concluded that Edlaide would never put the Night Elves in danger for his own sake!
Moreover, Yule also noticed that Edlaide was a confident and eager guy!
When Gavin set out, Yule had specially reminded him that Edlaide chose to return from the Monlin Empire, not only to avoid implicating the Night Elves, but also to take revenge and demonstrate against the Monlin Empire!
The reason why Edlaide was forced to embark on this escape path was completely the handiwork of the Monlin Empire! He would never return to the Dongyu Empire so quietly, his strong self-confidence and belief in revenge would support him to choose a special route, he just wanted to humiliate the Monlin Empire and humiliate Yule in this way!
Therefore, Yule came to the conclusion that Li Zijun would definitely choose the path of entering the Monlin Empire!
Recalling what his father had said to him, Gavin chose to continue to trust his father, and he no longer hesitated to give orders.
"Delay Colby's customs clearance paperwork for a few more days, and if we still can't find new clues in other people's bodies, we will follow Calby's caravan back to the capital! My intuition tells me that Mr. Nan Guo is the most suspicious, and I always feel that in him, we will definitely be able to find clues to Edlaide!" Gavin looked out the window in the direction Li Zijun left and said intently.
Almost at the same time that Gavin was looking for someone to investigate Li Zijun, Li Zijun and Camilla also began to discuss with Colby that he Weishenme was going to reject Gavin's acquisition.
"Colby, Gavin's offer to buy those slaves is not a good thing for them! You want to refuse him, do you think the price he gave is too low?" Li Zijun asked with some dissatisfaction as he stared at Colby.
"In the past few days, our performance has attracted too much attention! A few days ago, someone from the top of Monlin had sent someone to greet me, and until he saw all the shows, I was not allowed to buy or sell any slaves in my hands!" Colby was also full of helplessness about this matter, and said with a sigh.
"It's a little stuffy in the carriage, I'll go down and walk, don't wait for me, you go back to the hotel first!" After saying this, Colby seemed to have aged a lot at once, and he no longer explained too much to the two, and told the coachman to stop the carriage, and jumped out of the carriage by himself.
"If the one who pressured Colby can't buy all of these slaves, won't it delay them?" Li Zijun asked as he turned his head to look at Camilla.
"There's no way around it!Colby is a good man, he's done a lot for slaves, but he didn't expect it to be like this, no wonder he's so disappointed!" Camilla said sympathetically as she looked at Colby's back.
Li Zijun also shook his head, not knowing what kind of language he should use to comfort Colby after he went back.
The carriage started again, and Li Zijun looked at the coachman sitting in front of him and lowered his voice:
"Did you find out what you just discovered? Do you know who is following us, and will Gavin find out who I am?"
"There were two people secretly watching you, but they shouldn't be on the same side. β
"Could it be that besides Gavin, there are people who are also paying attention to me!" Gavin was a little unreasonable about Li Zijun's enthusiasm during this time, Li Zijun and Camilla had long been aware of his intentions, and they both felt that Gavin was only suspicious and had no substantial evidence, so they didn't give much reaction.
"One of them should be your old friend, the same person who made you kill before!"
"Bradley, why did he get to Tilbury so soon? I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to fool him with my disguise technique, I think my identity has been revealed!
"It's good that you have such mental preparations, I also think he should have confirmed your identity!"
"It seems that I still haven't fully comprehended your disguise technique, otherwise I wouldn't have been discovered by him so soon!" Li Zijun smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Will it cause any trouble for the Calby caravan?"
"Aren't you worried about yourself?" Camilla saw that Li Zijun's expression did not change much when she heard that her identity had been revealed, but she was a little nervous about the Colby caravan, and she looked at Li Zijun in disbelief.
"What do I have to worry about! Anyway, I've already seen through it, it's just a big deal to run again, I don't believe Tilbury can stop me! Moreover, seeing that you didn't rush me to leave first, that proves that at least I'm safe for now!" Li Zijun looked at Camilla and said indifferently.
"It seems that you can pass through the Warcraft Forest from the Turk-Hungarian Empire, and run here intact in the coup d'Γ©tat of the Tibetan Empire, it's not just as lucky!" Camila looked at Li Zijun in surprise.
"Let's talk about it, Bradley Weishenme won't tell me my identity, is there something happening in the Monlin Empire or other countries!" Li Zijun asked lazily, and Camilla glanced at Li Zijun with dissatisfaction before continuing.
"The food of the Turk-Hungarian Empire was originally a problem, and this time it was even more due to the war with the Dongyu Empire, and the Dongyu Empire had deliberately controlled the entry of grain into the Turk-Hungarian Empire, which made the contradictions in the Turk-Hungarian Empire increasingly expand. β
In desperation, Boyle and Julie had no choice but to sneak attack several grain-producing towns on the border of the Tibetan Empire this season, obtaining some of the grain while diverting domestic conflicts. At present, the relationship between the Turkish-Hungarian Empire and the Tibetan Empire has been tense to the extreme, and if it were not for Lawrence's concern about the political instability at home, I am afraid that this war would have begun! But even so, the two sides have hoarded heavy troops on the border, which makes people feel that they are about to break out. β
At the same time, the Dongyu Empire was also discussing how to retaliate against the Fengqi Empire and the Menglin Empire that raided him. At this time, the people of the Tibetan Empire were panicked, and few people would have the heart to lead the troops to fight, if it weren't for the Turk-Hungarian Empire's worries about the problem of grain and grass, they would have started a long time ago. The Menglin Empire must retain the barrier of the Tibetan Empire, but due to the failure of Yule's sneak attack on the Dongyu Empire, the contradictions in Menglin have also begun to intensify, and the Menglin Empire does not now have the strength to fight on two fronts. β
As a result, they could only hope that they could reach peace talks with the Dongyu Empire, at least to maintain the status quo. This also determines their purpose in capturing you, which is to use you to gain the understanding of the Dongyu Empire. Therefore, at this time, not only will they not threaten your life, but they will even treat you like a VIP, provided that you are controlled in their hands first. β
"And Bradley's purpose is to kill you, and the contradictions between you have reached an irreconcilable stage! And the strength you quickly mentioned has made Bradley feel more and more threatened. It's just that he's probably the only one in the Monlin Empire who wants you dead, so do you think he'll tell who you are?"
"Don't talk about Bradley anymore, has Gavin's men found out who I am?"
"Aren't you worried about Bradley suddenly attacking you?" Camilla saw that Li Zijun put Bradley down so easily, and was a little incomprehensible.
"If he sneaks up on me now, it will definitely be a good thing for me! Because with you here, I don't worry about him threatening my safety at all, on the contrary, I can let go of my hands and feet, and it's no wonder that he doesn't suffer a big loss!"
Camilla shook her head helplessly when she saw Li Zijun's fake tiger appearance.
"Gavin's people shouldn't have discovered your identity!"
"Why are you so sure of their judgment of my identity?" Li Zijun saw Camilla's appearance, and understood that she didn't want to continue to discuss with him on the issue of Bradley, and cleverly switched to another topic that he was interested in.
"Through their heartbeat!"
"Heartbeat?" Li Zijun smiled contemptuously, he felt that Camilla was playing tricks! Just now he could only feel that there were two people paying attention to him, but he couldn't give a definite answer to the position of these two people. Li Zijun couldn't believe that Camila could hear their heartbeat!
"Gavin's man is much weaker, he should have been your defeated man, he was very nervous before he saw you, his heart beat sharply! But when you appeared in front of him, his heartbeat gradually slowed down, and Zuihou returned to normal speed, it is obvious that you are not the person he imagined! This proves that he did not recognize you. β
Bradley's heart beat much more normally before you appeared, but when he saw you, his heart beat very fast, and there was excitement in the speed of his heartbeat. He's so happy to see you!"
"Can you really hear their heartbeat?" Li Zijun asked as he looked up at Camilla when he heard Camila's description so detailed, it didn't look like a lie.
"Of course, do you have the impression that I lied to you!?" Camilla said dissatisfiedly when she saw that Li Zijun doubted herself.
Li Zijun saw that Camilla's face had really changed a little, and hurriedly smiled and apologized.
"Bradley seems to know you very well, huh?" Camilla saw Li Zijun's hippie smiling face, and it was no longer good to keep a straight face and not speak.
"Probably because we are enemies, we know each other better than we know each other even better! He knows that I won't make the Night Elves more dangerous for myself, and I won't be willing to return to the Dongyu Empire like this. He had rushed to Tilbury at this time to intercept me, and I think he had guessed my identity before he saw me! Hearing Camilla's words, Li Zijun said seriously.
"There aren't many people in and out of the Tibetan Empire in Tilbury during this time, and most of them are familiar faces, so it's hard not to get noticed by others. I would have thought that your talent in acting would belie your true identity. Now it seems that although you have changed a lot, there are some extremely subtle habits that cannot be easily changed. For example, when you sit in a chair, you always like to straighten your back and never lean back. Originally, these habits were nothing, but in front of a person with a heart like Bradley, you have almost nothing to hide! Other disguises don't do much at all. I think Bradley must have noticed you through these little details, and finally settled on your identity. Camilla helped Li Zijun analyze.
"Teacher Camila, we have been together most of the time these days, but you have been able to get so much news, it seems that your identity is not simple!" Li Zijun looked at Camilla with a deliberately surprised expression. He had tried to think as highly of her as he could, but now he still seemed to underestimate her energy.
Camila looked at Li Zijun and smiled, noncommittal.
"According to you, Bradley has his eye on me. If he doesn't encounter something like thunder and thunder, he will probably do something to me tonight, and you won't die without help!"
"Didn't you always want to teach him a lesson? Why, when people came, you flinched?"
"Although you said that I am not his opponent yet, I am not afraid of him, and I even have the urge to fight him! I am worried that once we really fight, the noise will be too big, and it will not be good to cause trouble for Colby and you!"
"With your skills, it's hard not to attract the attention of others once you get into a fight. But if you're fighting outside the city, then you don't have to worry about that, how about it, do you want to bring this battle forward?"
"You mean?" Li Zijun showed a surprised expression, and Camilla nodded.
"What do you think of us riding around the city, and we should have time to get back before dark?" Camilla's attitude changed dramatically, and she actually encouraged Li Zijun to fight Bradley.
"Well, with you behind me, what else do I have to fear! But can we get out of town at this time?
"I'll deal with this matter, but I said in advance, I'm only responsible for saving your life, and don't want me to help you anymore!"
"Don't worry, I don't want to trouble you too much! As long as I can save my life, I will have a chance to clean him up in the future! And as long as you can save my life, I can attack him without any scruples!" Li Zijun laughed wildly, revealing a dirty face of a villain.
After the carriage returned to the hotel, Camilla reported to the official Meng Lin who was in charge of receiving them, and ran out of the city on a horse each with Li Zijun.
Gavin quickly got the news, but he firmly believed that Li Zijun and Camilla would not leave like this, so he didn't pay too much attention to this matter, and he didn't even send a single person to follow him.
Bradley, who had been following Li Zijun all along, was ecstatic to see them go out of the city! Menglin's domestic political situation had changed abruptly, and there was no one to support him to continue to hunt down Edlaide. If Bradley had made a move in Tilbury, Monlin's generals would most likely have protected Edlaide.
Everyone in the Monlin Empire can turn enemies into friends with Edlaide, but Bradley knows he can't do it alone!
Bradley's son died at the hands of Li Zijun, although the matter on the battlefield should be resolved on the battlefield, but since he has intervened in the investigation, this matter must have a result. If Edlaide can escape this time, there will be no place for his sword master's face!
On the other hand, Edlaide's two women died at his hands, Edlaide hated him at all, and Edlaide would never let him go!
During the time when Bradley was tracking Edlaide, he found that he was improving almost every day, and the most important thing was that the gap between Edlaide and him was narrowing! This also made Bradley, who was a hunter, more and more nervous, so he must not let Edlaide leave Tilbury alive!
Bradley carefully followed behind them, all the way to the outside of the city, watching the place they pass through become more and more secluded, Bradley was secretly happy as he continued to increase his vigilance. Seeing that they never had a chance to return to Tilbury, Bradley stepped out of the corner.
"Bradley, you really don't know whether you live or die, you dare to follow me even though I found you!" Li Zijun said with a triumphant look at Bradley.
"Boy, you are really romantic, no matter where you go, there will be no shortage of women around you! But your taste seems to be worse this time, how did you find such an old woman?"
"Don't talk nonsense! Camilla is my aunt, although she is a little older, she is not old at all!" Li Zijun heard Bradley laugh at Camilla's age, his heart burst into laughter, but he still forced patience.
"Grandma, your aunt is probably going to die with you this time!" Bradley jumped off the horse, pulled out the giant sword at his waist, and stood in front of Li Zijun and Camilla with a serious expression. Although he said it easily, when facing Li Zijun, he still had the spirit of twelve.
Li Zijun originally thought that Bradley's words would anger Camilla, but when he saw her still calm expression, he had to admire her endurance!
The two of them continued to urge the fighting qi in their bodies, and a layer of golden light enveloped the two of them, but the color of Bradley's fighting qi looked more pure.
"Boy, no wonder you are so arrogant, it turns out that you have already entered the Holy Order. But it's a pity that your strength is still a little bit worse, I'm afraid this is the first time you have released your Saint Rank Dou Qi and the only time you have released your Saint Rank Dou Qi, so let's die!" Bradley looked at the color of Li Zijun's Dou Qi and said confidently.
Bradley was still more than thirty meters away from Li Zijun, and began to wave the sword in his hand, and a sword light one foot wide and seven or eight meters long burst out along Bradley's sword. Bradley quickly made a step forward, and there was only five or six meters left between him and Li Zijun. Bradley jumped to his feet and slashed at the top of Li Zijun's head from top to bottom.
Seeing Bradley's sword, Li Zijun understood his gap, Camilla did not lie to him, and he is by no means Bradley's opponent at present. This Bradley's previous fight with Li Zijun has always been reserved for unknown reasons, and today is the show of his true strength.
Li Zijun didn't have time to think about it, gathered all the strength of his body, and raised his sword to meet Bradley.
"Dang!" was shocked, Li Zijun's arm was a little numb, and his ankle also fell into the ground because of this blow.
Knowing the difference in strength between the two sides, Li Zijun did not fight hard with Bradley, and began to play to his strengths, using exquisite moves and extremely fast speed to maneuver with Bradley.
Although Bradley is slightly inferior to Li Zijun in terms of speed, the gap between the two is not enough to make Li Zijun the winner of Zuihou, especially when Bradley takes the method of standing in place, and Li Zijun's speed advantage is further weakened!
Li Zijun's sword is only three meters away at most, almost half of Bradley's, he can't enter Bradley's body at all, and it is difficult to reflect the advantage in terms of skills.
But no matter what, it is difficult for Bradley to threaten Li Zijun's safety for the time being, and the two have entered the stage of stalemate.
Gradually, Li Zijun became a little anxious, and he began to try to attack Bradley with magic. Although Li Zijun has entered the Holy Rank in terms of martial arts, he doesn't know that in terms of magic, he is still in the position of the Great Magister and has not stepped into the stage of the Law Saint. Instead of putting Bradley under more pressure, Lee's magical attack allowed Bradley to catch the gap when he released his magic. Bradley quickly suppressed Li Zijun, making Li Zijun's situation difficult.
Seeing such a scene, Camilla was ready to help, but unexpectedly, at this time, Li Zijun suddenly gave up the attack and focused all his energy on approaching Bradley. Seeing this scene, Camila took back the outstretched foot.
In order to be able to get close to Bradley, Li Zijun even did not hesitate to 'exchange injuries for in'!
Bradley didn't expect Li Zijun to suddenly become so crazy, he was slightly stunned, Li Zijun had already come to a place only three or four meters away from him.
It's just that Li Zijun has also paid a lot of price for these few steps, his shirt has been cut into strips of cloth by Bradley's sword, and his body is covered with scars, which looks extremely hideous!
But Li Zijun couldn't care much at the moment, he roared and stabbed at Bradley.
Bradley saw that Li Zijun's sword suddenly disappeared completely, directly showing the original appearance of the sword! But Bradley felt that this sword was even more terrifying than just now, and it seemed that a huge Liliang had been born in this sword.
Bradley didn't dare to be negligent, put the sword in his hand in front of him, and swept out against Li Zijun's sword.
"Bang"!
The most incredible scene appeared, the moment the sword in Li Zijun's hand pierced into the Bradley sword, the sword was sunken in.
