Chapter 127: Appearance
"General Ralph is in the debriefing stage, and although he and General Yule are sons and daughters, proper taboos are still necessary!" Heller didn't think for a moment of Tiffany's true intention in asking such a question, and he just answered Tiffany in a very patterned way.
Tiffany was immediately disappointed when he heard Heller's answer, and his intention was to use the question to get his father to explain to him about sacrificing Yule.
As a potential heir to the royal family, Tiffany was actually used to betraying and being betrayed, and he could even understand his father's behavior towards Yule. It's just that he can't accept that when his father is about to take away his strong pillar, not only does he have no explanation or comfort, but he also continues to deceive himself, and he has no intention of wanting to compensate for his loss!
Through this incident, Tiffany clearly realized that no matter whether Heller's words were true or not, if he did not have an absolutely credible strong support, all his good wishes would be nothing more than a castle in the air! In the future, even if his father Zuihou really puts the throne in his hands, it will be just a chair that may be taken away at any time!
Thinking of this, Tiffany immediately hid the idea of betraying Edlaide in exchange for her father's support. He didn't want to trade those strengths behind Edlaide for those promises from Heller's words!
Tiffany's attitude towards Heller has changed dramatically in an instant, although it is still respectful on the surface, but the father-son relationship in her bones has become weaker and weaker!
Heller also discovered Tiffany's changes, but he couldn't guess the reason for Tiffany's changes for a while! In fact, Heller's heart was also very sad, he didn't expect that his heartfelt words not only failed to get Tiffany's understanding and trust, but made his son's attitude towards him turn 180 degrees. Heller sadly felt that after he had said these words, Tiffany had become more and more distant from him. Moreover, Heller felt that no matter what he was doing in the future, it would be impossible to get closer to each other, and at this moment, he seemed to have completely lost his son Tiffany!
After this incident, Heller and Tiffany lose interest in continuing to talk to each other, and both try to open up the awkward atmosphere with new topics, but they try for a long time, and they both realize that this is just a futile effort, so they have to reluctantly end the conversation that led to the breakup of father and son.
The Colby caravan show was already in the preparation stage for Zuihou, and it happened that at this time, Princess Geima's subordinate Chaucer also met Bradley in a small house outside the east gate.
There were many people in the gatehouse of the east gate, and it was difficult for Chaucer to go there to give Jima's instructions, so he deliberately left a contact code at the location of the city gate and invited Bradley to this place.
"What are you talking about, the princess told me not to kill Edlaide with all my might, and secretly let him live? Are you kidding me? The princess is not unaware of the hatred between me and Edlaide, how could she ask me to do this?" Bradley heard Chaucer's words, stood up suddenly, and looked at Chaucer with wide eyes and asked.
"Mr. Bradley, you are mistaken! This is not a request, this is an order!" Chaucer said coldly when he heard Bradley change his concept.
"You should be familiar with this thing in your hand, if you have any opinions and grievances, when you have completed the task, you can tell the princess yourself! I just put the princess's instructions into your hands, and the next thing has nothing to do with me!" Chaucer pointed to the token in Bradley's hand, snorted coldly, and then got up and walked out of the room.
"Mr. Chaucer, Mr. Chaucer!" Bradley realized that his words had gone too far, and hurriedly blocked Chaucer with a smile on his face.
Although Chaucer's personal strength is not very good, he is the old man next to the eldest princess, and Jima trusts him very much! Chaucer usually relies on the princess's trust in him, and always puts on a high-spirited appearance in front of others. Although Chaucer still has some restraint in front of Bradley, the habits that have developed over time are difficult to break. Especially when he heard that Bradley was angry with the eldest princess, Chaucer could no longer hide his dissatisfaction with Bradley, and glared fiercely at Bradley who was blocking him!
Watching Chaucer blow his beard and glaring at him, Bradley was angry and hateful, but he also knew that now was not a good time to offend Chaucer, so he hurriedly helped Chaucer back to his original seat. At the same time, Bradley also secretly shoved a gold card into Chaucer's hand. Glancing quietly at the numbers on the gold card, Chaucer's excitement calmed down, but he still ignored Bradley angrily.
"Sir, I don't suspect Her Royal Highness the Princess and you, you also know that I have a murderous vendetta against that kid from Edlaide, and I have also killed his two women, and the hatred between us is impossible to dissolve! Her Royal Highness the Princess asked me to let him go under such circumstances, and I was indeed a little difficult to accept for a while! Rest assured, I have figured it out, and I will resolutely carry out Her Royal Highness's orders. Bradley said politely in front of Chaucer.
Seeing the dignified Sword Saint bowing down to himself, the smugness in Chaucer's heart was really indescribable, although he still had a straight face, but his heart was about to laugh like a flower! He casually reprimanded Bradley a few words, looking at Bradley's nodding and bowing his head, he gradually became a little confused, and was soon tricked out by Bradley, and he only had one person to come to give orders!
Knowing this, Bradley finally showed a hideous expression, but poor Chaucer didn't realize the change in Bradley, and he was still talking to himself.
It wasn't until Chaucer noticed that Bradley was no longer responding to him that he instinctively looked up at Bradley.
At this time, Chaucer saw that Bradley's eyes were already full of murderous intent, and he finally began to feel a little scared!
"Bradley, what do you want to do?" Chaucer raised his voice as high as he could, hoping to get the attention of the others.
"Mr. Chaucer, you don't have to be so loud, although this place is very close to the city gate, the room we are in has been specially treated, and several houses around it have been bought by us, and there are usually no people living in them, and no one will hear you even if you shout at your throat!" Bradley said to Chaucer with a sinister smile.
"Bradley, I'm a close confidant of Her Royal Highness the Princess! If you dare to disadvantage me, even if you are a Sword Saint, the princess will not let you go!"
"I'm willing to believe what you say, but no one will know that you died at my hands, didn't you just tell me that you came alone, this is very important!"
Chaucer had now become a doll in Bradley's hands, and he no longer had the look he had just looked.
"Mr. Bradley, as long as you can spare me today, I will definitely not remember today's events, and I will speak more kind words for your children in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and they will definitely make them soar one by one!" The two positions immediately reversed, and Chaucer stood beside Bradley and pleaded like a pitiful worm.
"Really?" asked Brad with a playful look at Chaucer.
"Really, really! I swear to the gods that I will never do anything against you!"
"Haha!" Bradley suddenly let out a loud daxiao.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Chaucer didn't know what Bradley meant, and he laughed stupidly at Bradley.
"But I still can't believe you!" said Bradley, with a look in his eyes and a halted laugh.
Qiao Chau was slightly stunned, and wanted to say something. It's just that Bradley has lost the patience with him, and suddenly reaches out and pinches Chaucer's chin and pulls it gently.
Chaucer felt only a pain in the back of his cheek, and his jaw was pulled down in hatred by Bradley.
Immediately, Bradley's fingers were slightly forced, and he only heard a "click", and Chaucer's jawbone was actually broken by him.
"Hmm!" Chaucer was so painful that a cold sweat immediately flowed down, but because he had lost the help of his jawbone, he couldn't make any moaning sound at all, and could only express his pain with a "uh-huh" sound.
"Crackling" Bradley broke all the bones in Chaucer's body with an expressionless face, Chaucer was so painful that his eye sockets were torn by himself, he hoped that he could pass out, if he could be freed from this pain, even if he was allowed to die immediately, Chaucer would feel a kind of happiness!
But I don't know what trick Bradley used, Chaucer not only did not faint, but even felt more and more awake. What's more, due to Bradley's news, none of Chaucer's broken bones will hurt his internal organs, which also makes him have to experience the feeling that life is worse than death continuously!
"No one can treat the Juggernaut with that attitude of yours!Therefore, you must be punished!" Bradley said this, ignoring Chaucer's angry eyes, and a double wind poured his ears into Chaucer's shijie into a tranquil!
Three days later, when Chaucer was found in the rubbish heap, he was still alive! His eyes had been gouged out, and his wound had been pilled by his wounds, so that he would not die from blood loss!
The only thing that didn't hurt Chaucer was his nasal bone, and Bradley didn't want Chaucer to end his punishment early because of his poor breathing. Bradley is completely insane!
The people who saw Chaucer were all stunned by this tragic scene, and all of them had to admit that sometimes death is a very happy thing!
After Bradley had removed all traces of Chaucer's appearance, he returned to the east gate alone. He knew very well that the city of Kauer Fakkan today would soon become extremely chaotic, and it was normal for someone like Chaucer to die one more and one less. As long as he excused himself that he hadn't seen Chaucer at all, he believed that even if the eldest princess had any suspicions, she wouldn't be able to anger him because of this incident, thinking of this, Bradley couldn't help but be proud of what he had just done!
But then a thought suddenly popped out of Bradley's mind: Would the eldest princess Weishenme suddenly give such a strange order to herself?
In fact, based on Bradley's understanding of Li Zijun, he really felt that Li Zijun was unlikely to break through from the direction he guarded! Through this period of time, Bradley pursued and killed Li Zijun along the way, and he thought that he had already studied Li Zijun very deeply. Although from the geographical point of view, the East Gate is the closest to the Dongyu Empire, and compared with other city gates, it is not very conducive to the rapid assembly and march of the corps, and it is easier to hide and disappear after leaving the city, but it is precisely because of these convenient conditions that the East Gate will definitely become the direction that the Monlin Empire pays the most attention to, and there is no doubt that this will also become the most difficult level to break through among the four gates! (Bradley didn't know that Thomas had returned to the city, and he always felt that he was slightly superior to Geoffrey, it was actually normal for him to have such an illusion!)
Bradley doesn't think that Li Zijun will give up the easy and make fun of his life!
Bradley knows very well who the person standing behind Hima is, which is actually the main reason why Bradley is willing to join Hima. Could it be that Queen Athena noticed something? Bradley thought of this, and was so frightened that he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!
Don't look at Bradley's bold words when facing Heller and Yale, but in his heart, he has long lost the strong confidence that Li Zijun won the battle at the beginning. Especially after the last duel, although Bradley has barely returned to normal recently, he doesn't know that every full moon night, the position where Bradley is impacted by Li Zijun will appear a faint black vein.
Bradley was slightly glad that the black stripe had not spread further, nor had it caused him any adverse reactions! It was precisely for this reason that Bradley could not figure out what the stripe would bring him.
Recently, Bradley has secretly consulted a lot of information, and asked some high-end people tentatively about this matter, and even visited some real and fake famous doctors for this reason, but what makes him helpless is that among so many people, no one can give the exact meaning of this black vein, which also makes him worry all the time!
Originally, Bradley thought that he had been hurt so much, and Li Zijun, who was obviously much more seriously injured than him at that time, must not be having a good time.
But Bradley never expected that when he saw Li Zijun again, Li Zijun had not only fully recovered, but also seemed to have improved a lot in terms of strength, and he couldn't see through Li Zijun's true level!
Bradley injured Li Zijun twice, and Li Zijun not only did not collapse, but became stronger and stronger, and faintly already had the strength to compete with him! This discovery not only made Bradley feel helpless, but also made him have a trace of fear of Li Zijun. He has even begun to fear a head-to-head confrontation with Li Zijun!
This time, Bradley took the initiative to ask to be stationed at the east gate, which was actually his helpless move to avoid Li Zijun. But he didn't expect that Li Zijun would really choose to break through from him anyway, which also made him suddenly a little at a loss.
After thinking about it, Bradley became more and more unable to sit still, and he had to walk out of the east gate while there was still some time.
When he just returned to Khor Fakan, Bradley, who was helpless, once tried to contact his good friend Litton, hoping to join forces with Lytton, and intercept Li Zijun on his way back to China!
During the period when Litton was promoted to the Holy Rank, he received guidance and help from Bradley many times, which also accelerated Litton's promotion to a certain extent. For this, Litton has always been grateful to Bradley!
Although Litton is the lowest-ranked Sword Saint in the Monlin Empire, since he can be called the 'Sword Saint', his strength should not be underestimated. Especially because of Litton's illustrious family background, he didn't need to think too much about the family members, and he himself had almost no interest in official careers, so he had a transcendent supremacy in the martial arts world of the Monlin Empire! If he was willing to help him, Bradley firmly believed that he would be able to keep Li Zijun in the Monlin Empire.
Unfortunately, when Bradley came to visit, it coincided with Lytton's travels and did not return, which almost immediately cut off all hope for Bradley! But fortunately, Litton's family was familiar with Bradley, and when he left, he gave him a hope: Litton was likely to return to Hauer Fakkan in the next few days.
After that, Bradley had been paying attention to the news of Litton's return to the city, but at this time, he suddenly received an order from Hima, ordering him to assist Yale in secretly besieging Li Zijun! This order made Bradley very happy, and he forgot to pay attention to Litton.
Later, Bradley found that Li Zijun's skills had improved again, and he instinctively chose to escape out of self-preservation, almost completely forgetting about Uni-Lyton!
But today, through the secret order brought by Chaucer, Bradley once again felt the crisis, and in desperation, he finally recalled his original idea. After leaving the city gates, Bradley mounted a fast horse and hurried to the Lytton Mansion as fast as he could.
At this moment, the countdown to the performance of the Colby caravan had begun, and the nobles who had been invited had already found their respective places to sit down.
Because of the excellent performance of the Calby caravan last time, Li Zijun no longer needs to use his clumsy hype skills this time, their performance this time has almost aroused the curiosity of the entire Monlin Empire, and because of the bet between Li Zijun and Heller, the curiosity in people's hearts has been pushed to the highest point!
Li Zijun firmly believes that the attention of the Menglin Empire to this performance, even if it cannot be stopped, it will definitely be unprecedented!
It is under such circumstances that today's invitation has reached the point where it is hard to find!
Heller, of course, did not bother with such a trivial matter, and he habitually placed the right to choose the guest to be invited to watch in the hands of the Home Secretary.
In the past, Home Secretary Nat had to ask the bigwigs in the DPRK and China to come so that the scene would not be too deserted. Those bigwigs had long been tired of watching the performances in the palace, and they preferred to stay at home and watch the slaves dance that primitive and cool way, and they didn't bother to accompany Heller seriously and watch the kind of song and dance that they saw as silly.
But this time it's different, those bigwigs actually reached out to Nat to ask for an invitation in turn!
At first, Nat was happy, but then he realized that something was wrong when he realized that there were fewer and fewer places in his hands and more and more people asking for invitations.
None of the bigwigs looked at Nat's face, they just sent someone to tell him the number of seats they needed, and the next thing was to reach for the invitation, and soon there would be no more places in the performance hall!
It was impossible for Nat to refuse some people at this time, so he could only keep asking Taylor to add seats in the venue!
This also caused Li Zijun to look down the gap in the curtain on the stage, and there was a large black pressure under the stage, and there was almost no blank space to be seen.
Li Zijun turned around and looked at the actors standing behind the scenes, he smiled and nodded, and then he calmed down his mood a little and walked out from behind the curtain sideways.
"Ladies and gentlemen, all my dearest guests, good morning!" said Li Zijun in an unusually passionate voice.
"First of all, on behalf of all the cast and crew of the Colby Caravan, I would like to express our most sincere thanks and warmest welcome to you for coming today!" Li Zijun bowed deeply to the audience and continued.
"Next, I need to remind you to eat something and replenish your energy, because once the show starts, you will quickly become immersed in our compelling story. We enjoy having a synchronized emotional exchange with all of you, but if you starve because of it, that's not something we want to see!" Li Zijun's expression was extremely exaggerated, and his performance drew a chuckle from the audience.
"The popularity of a presenter is often inversely proportional to the amount of time he spends speaking on stage! Li Zijun stroked his chest and made a painful expression.
"But please allow me to say one more moment before the performance starts, Bixia, you must not forget the bet between us!" Li Zijun knelt down on one knee with one hand on his chest and saluted to the position of Heller's box.
Immediately, after announcing the official start of "The Legend of the White Snake", Li Zijun quickly hid back in the small room that Taylor had prepared for him.
As the music played, the curtain on the stage was lifted, and the show that the Calby caravan had been carefully preparing began.
Hearing what Li Zijun said to his father, Tiffany couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook her head. He had just politely declined his father's offer to watch a show with him, which was the rare disobedience he had for so many years, and he thought he had done so boldly. But he didn't expect that compared to Li Zijun, he was an extremely obedient elementary school student at all!
Li Zijun's words were simply a provocation to his father, and Tiffany began to look forward to Li Zijun's next performance!
