"Brother, I think you and your wife might need a carriage?" asked an ordinary-looking man in his thirties, driving a carriage that was obviously used for rent, parked beside Li Zijun and Catherine.

After Li Zijun and Catherine left the east gate, Catherine carried Li Zijun on her back for a while. As the sky brightened, their move became more and more eye-catching, and in desperation, Catherine Zuihou could only support Li Zijun to continue walking. They had been keeping an eye on the crowd around them who might pose a threat to them, especially worried that Thomas would suddenly appear in front of them, and instead ignored the carriage they needed most at the moment.

Although this coachman looked strong, Li Zijun did not find the slightest sign of vindictiveness or magic elements in him, especially the calloused palms, which proved that he was really just an ordinary coachman.

Li Zijun and Catherine looked at each other and smiled, and boarded the carriage.

The coachman asked for directions, and drove the carriage to the south gate.

Catherine looked at Li Zijun and pointed to the coachman's location with a wary gaze.

"Don't worry, he's just an ordinary person, he can't hear the conversation between us!" Li Zijun tried his best to put himself in a more comfortable position, but these slight movements still made him frown.

"How's your injury?" Catherine asked with concern when she saw Li Zijun's painful expression.

"I controlled it for the time being, but it was still a little painful to move, and I couldn't lift my left arm. In order to reassure Catherine, Li Zijun smiled lightly.

"Why don't we find a place to heal your injuries first, if this continues, I'm worried about what will happen to you in the future!"

"You forget, I'm a 'miracle doctor'! I can heal myself when I get to a safe place. ”

"By the way it looks, Thomas must have followed the carriage out of town. It will take him at least half a day to get in and out, and we can be considered to be free from his tracking for the time being. It's just that at this time, I'm afraid that the news of Yale's death has already reached the palace, and I am afraid that Heller will impose martial law in the whole city, and even a citywide raid. ”

"If that happens, it will be very difficult for us to get out of Khauerfekan safely! Therefore, we must get out of here as soon as possible, and when we get out of the city, I will find a way to heal my wounds!"

Catherine saw that Li Zijun was very firm, so she stopped talking about Li Zijun's injury.

"Yale died at your hands in the end, and that's probably the only good news I've heard since I got back to Khauerfakan!" Catherine shook her head and smiled bitterly.

"Actually, I was discovered by Yale soon after I infiltrated that small courtyard, not so much that I killed Yale, but that Yale Zuihou chose to die at my hands!" Li Zijun thought of Yale's dying situation, he sighed deeply and said.

"What, he found you?" Catherine looked at Li Zijun with a surprised face.

"Compared to Weiz, my enthusiasm for work is much higher, and Yale has noticed a difference in me in this regard!" Li Zijun continued with a wry smile.

"At that time, Yale had already discovered that he was poisoned, and he was also given wine by Heller, and General Yule was also given wine!" Immediately afterward, Li Zijun told Catherine about his conversation with Yale.

"Didn't you say that Yale was a huge threat to the Dongyu Empire, how could Heller be willing to let him die so plainly?" Catherine asked as she looked at Li Zijun with some incomprehension.

"Maybe Heller doesn't want people who know the details of their failures to be able to continue to live. That's true of General Yule, and so is Yale!" Although Li Zijun said this, in fact, it was difficult for him to understand Heller's somewhat strange thinking.

"Of course, there is also the possibility that Heller has successfully found a replacement for Yale!"

"Who knows, I find myself less and less able to understand Heller as a person!"

"If we knew that Heller would take action against Yale so soon, we really didn't need to risk so much for Yale to rush back!" Catherine looked at Li Zijun's injuries and couldn't help but regret it.

First of all, no matter what kind of information I get, as long as I don't see Yale's corpse with my own eyes, it will always have a great impact on my future battle with Monlin!"

"Secondly, for Yale himself, there is also a big difference between dying at my hands and dying at Heller's hands. No matter how much we hate him, he is a hero in the eyes of the people of Monlin! And his death at my hands will make him a hero! If he dies under Heller's poisonous wine, the 'gold content' of his heroic title is probably debatable. This is the main reason why Yale Zuihou chose me to end his life. ”

"Zuihou, Yale's death once again gave me a head start on Heller, and I did this by simply standing in front of him and giving him a hard slap in the face, and it was difficult for him to continue to control his emotions well. It was based on this that I concluded that he would make a mistake and that he would most likely be locked down!"

"Does lockdown mean making mistakes?" Catherine didn't understand what Li Zijun meant for a moment.

"Khorfakkan was the capital of the Monlin Empire, and it was the political, economic, and cultural center of the Monlin Empire. Halfakkan is the weather vane of the Monlin Empire, and its every move will have a huge impact on the entire Monlin Empire!"

"The lockdown may not be a big deal in other cities, but it is of great significance in Khauerfakan! Just imagine that the capital of the Monlin Empire does not give people a sense of security, how can the rest of the Monlin Empire do better than here? Once people have this idea in their hearts, the great turmoil in the political arena of Monlin will soon come!" Li Zijun looked out through the car window, the people of Khorfakan were still living a normal life, and they did not feel that a major change against the Monlin Empire was about to begin.

"This is the real reason why you insisted on returning to assassinate Yale, you want to provoke Heller and force Heller to make an unrepentant mistake?" Catherine looked at Li Zijun in surprise, she didn't expect Li Zijun to have such a lofty Jihua.

"Queen Athena and Hima have put us together before, and this can be regarded as a riposte to them. If Monlin gives people the feeling that chaos is coming, who will have the heart to sympathize with those poor weakling, they will only seek stronger support! Empress Athena's sacrifice of Colin is very clever, but the premise is that Monlin must be in a stable state. And as long as Heller really gave the order to seal the city, the nobles of Monlin would find out how inappropriate it was to support Empress Athena and Hima!" A cruel sneer appeared on the corner of Li Zijun's mouth.

"What are we going to do if Heller does order a lockdown? We're still in Halfekan!"

"I was a little apprehensive just now, but with this carriage, we should have plenty of time to get out of here. And, now, it looks like the lockdown will bring us more benefits!" Li Zijun smiled slightly.

"Benefits?"

"Thomas will soon find himself in the wrong direction, and he will definitely get himself back to where he went wrong in the first place. Only then can he continue to track us!"

"It's unlikely that he'll catch up with us anytime soon, which means that at the moment of lockdown, he'll either be outside the east gate or into Khorfakan, and he'll be delayed for a while, either way. And this time will give us a chance, a chance to get rid of him completely!"

While the two were talking, the carriage had already arrived at the south gate. The coachman was familiar with the soldiers guarding the gates, and their carriage left the city of Khauerfekan without incident.

"Where are we going next?"

"Let's find the most haode hotel to stay in first, let me stabilize the injury first, and then we will discuss the next step!"

"You're not worried that Heller will suppress his anger and just mobilize an army to besiege us, but not lock down the city?"

"I was a little worried before you asked, but now I don't have such worries at all!" Li Zijun said as he turned his head in the direction of the city gate.

Catherine also followed Li Zijun's gaze, and they saw a team of royal guards in the distance with a chamberlain appearing at the south gate. The chamberlain said something to the gatekeeper, and there was confusion at the gate, and no one came out of it.

The coachman took them to the most luxurious inn outside the south gate according to Li Zijun's request, and after receiving Li Zijun's rich remuneration, he left happily.

I don't know if the coachman misunderstood Li Zijun's statement, or if there is really no good hotel outside the south gate of Khorfekan, this most 'luxurious' hotel in the coachman's mouth is very ordinary in the eyes of Li Zijun and Catherine, and even looks a little shabby.

"I wanted you to have a good time, but it looks like we're going to be able to deal with it here for a while. Li Zijun looked at Catherine and smiled bitterly and apologized.

"As long as I can be with you, I can enjoy it everywhere!" Catherine's words made Li Zijun's heart feel sweet. Catherine then walked into the hotel with Li Zijun in her arms.

Although the décor of this hotel is a little old, it is fortunately very clean and tidy, and the room is very warm, which also slightly eliminates some of the dissatisfaction in Li Zijun's heart.

They were quickly placed in the most haode room here, and almost at the same time, the bath tub and hot water requested by Li Zijun were also ready.

The kind service attitude and excellent service quality here have dispelled the best unhappiness in Li Zijun's heart.

"Can you really do the rest alone?" After Catherine helped Li Zijun take off her heavy coat, Li Zijun shyly stopped her from continuing to help.

"No problem, you should go take a shower, and remember! Make sure you change all your clothes and throw them away. When my injuries healed, we'll get out of here. ”

After Catherine walked out of the room, Li Zijun took off his clothes and carefully sat down in the bathtub.

Li Zijun first used his true qi to treat his internal injuries, and then used his true qi to straighten his broken bones, and then connected his broken bones with water-based magic elements. In such a short period of time, he did not dare to hope that he could recover quickly, he only hoped to improve his difficult situation as much as possible.

Just after lunchtime, Li Zijun finally finished treating himself. His internal injuries were not very serious, and after this treatment, although he did not recover immediately, it would not have much impact on him. It's just that the broken bones didn't completely fulfill Li Zijun's wish and immediately joined, and the effect of the water magic element in healing is still quite different from the light magic element. Fortunately, Li Zijun Zuihou changed his method, and he let the water magic element form a miniature version of the imprisoning magic at his broken bones.

Although this did not allow him to move freely immediately, it at least allowed him to move his left arm slightly, and he no longer had the sharp pain that pierced his heart when he walked.

Li Zijun stepped out of the bathtub, put on the new clothes he took out of the space ring, and walked out of his room.

Almost as soon as Li Zijun walked out of the room, Catherine, who lived across from him, also opened her door. The two exchanged glances, and Li Zijun entered Catherine's temporary 'boudoir'.

"How's your injury?" Catherine asked worriedly, gesturing to Li Zijun's arm.

"It's already much better, in three days at most, even if my arm can't be strained yet, there should be no problem with normal activities!" Li Zijun flipped his palm lightly and said with a smile to Catherine.

"After taking a shower, I took advantage of the time you were healing to go out and inquire about the situation. ”

Just now, an army of about 2,000 people from the south gate has left the city, and they seem to want to strengthen the defense of the checkpoints around Khauerfakan. I was afraid of arousing the suspicion of those who cared about it, so I didn't dare to get too close, and I was worried that if you stayed here alone, I would return. I just paid attention to my surroundings too, it's normal, nothing out of the ordinary!"

"Since the South Gate has sent troops, the other city gates should be no exception, and this time Heller seems to be going to play a little bigger!"

"Are you allowed to enter or not to go out?" Li Zijun repeated these words, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

"Let's eat something first, then throw away our clothes and leave here immediately!" Li Zijun grabbed the food that Catherine had prepared for him on the table and gulped it down.

"Leave? The roads around Khauerfekan are blocked, where can we go if we leave here? We're safe here, at least for now. Catherine didn't understand that Li Zijun Weishenme had such a safe place to stay, so she had to go out and take risks!

"Safe, won't be safe for long!, I can figure out that Thomas should be back to the east gate at the latest, and he'll soon track us down to this place, and by that time we'll probably not be able to go even if we want to. ”

"Isn't the city already closed, after Thomas enters the city, he will also be trapped in the city, how can he be here with us?" asked Catherine, puzzled.

"Big sister, this is the evil that you don't understand the nobility! For someone like Thomas, the lockdown won't have much effect on him at all, he only needs to waste a little time to get the pass token in Heller's hand. If Thomas had reacted quickly enough, he would probably be doing it right now!"

"So where are we going to get out of here?"

"Back to Khor Fakkan City!"

"Back to Khor Fakkan City, then don't we just bump into Thomas?" Catherine was taken aback by Li Zijun's decision, and looked at him intently.

"It's really back to Khorfakan, but the route is a little different from what you think!"

"Let's take a detour through the east gate from here to enter the city!" Li Zijun looked at Catherine with a puzzled look on his face, and explained to her with a smile.

"Where are we going when we enter the city, I have just heard that although the city has not yet been searched in the city, the guests in the hotel have begun to be examined, and the sheriff has begun to identify strangers. Maybe there will be a curfew tonight, and when we enter the city, do we have to hide in the Great Prince's Palace?"

"I'm afraid he's not safe there now! Even if I don't show up there, Queen Athena will try to create some illusions, and I don't need to trouble Tiffany. I've thought of a good place to go!"

"Where?"

"Yale's house!"

"Yale Mansion, you can't be crazy, Yale Mansion is heavily guarded, and it is possible for us to sneak in in a short time. According to you, we're afraid we're going to stay there for a few more days, how can we guarantee that we won't be discovered?!"

"Heavily guarded? That could only have been yesterday. I believe that it would be good if there was one person left in the Yale Mansion now, follow my brother, brother will not worry about your food and clothing!" Li Zijun laughed while eating.

When Thomas arrived at the hotel, Li Zijun and Catherine had already left. Thomas was about to continue the tracking, when a goose feather snow suddenly drifted in the sky, quickly covering up everything about this shijie, of course, including Li Zijun and Catherine's already faint taste!

Thomas looked at this untimely heavy snowfall, his heart was full of resentment, and he was unwilling to let Li Zijun go like this. But he also knew that under such a heavy snowfall, it was impossible for him to easily track Li Zijun's traces.

Thomas looked at the direction Li Zijun left and hesitated for a while, but in the end, he couldn't resist the desire in his heart and continued to follow this road.

While Thomas was doing this, Li Zijun and Catherine, disguised as an elderly couple, had successfully entered the city of Khauer Fakkan.

Under the same sky and in the same heavy snow, Li Zijun and Catherine's state of mind is very different from Thomas's, and they are even so excited that they almost kiss the earth on the street!

"We're finally able to get rid of Thomas once and for all this time!" Catherine said with a look of surprise as she continued to accept the snowflakes falling from the sky with her palms.

"If it weren't for my injuries, we would have been able to catch up with my sister and them by now!"

"Don't say anything about you dragging me down! Not a big child, how do I think you always look old. Catherine heard Li Zijun's words and glanced at him impatiently.

Seeing Catherine, who was pretending to be an old lady, suddenly make a little woman, Li Zijun finally showed a relaxed smile.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and Thomas finally lost no trace of Li Zijun completely, and he looked up at the snowflakes that were still falling in the sky and let out a long roar!

Heller did impose a curfew in the city of Halfakan, which also plunged the city of Horfakan, which was always full of singing and dancing every night, into a deathly tranquility, and the whole city seemed to be enveloped in a terrible atmosphere.

At this time, Heller finally found that he had fallen for Li Zijun again. This time Heller was not furious, but he felt unprecedented fear, he sat in his chair with a pale face, he felt that the power in his hand was like sea sand, slowly passing, he couldn't do anything at the moment! At this moment, Heller seemed to realize that it was a mistake to besiege Edlaide, a complete mistake!

Looking at the increasing number of Monlin soldiers at the foot of the mountain, Audrey's face showed a happy smile.

"I didn't mistake this kid, he really did!" Audrey sighed as she patted the trunk of the tree beside her.

"Master, you said that Ed has succeeded?!He hasn't come back yet?Is there something wrong with so many Menglin soldiers under the mountain?" Jenny didn't care about Yale's life or death, she just cared about Li Zijun's safety. Hearing Audrey say this, she couldn't help but worry again.

"Don't worry, look at the way you look down the mountain, they haven't even found Ed's shadow yet! ”

"I'm afraid Ed has been delayed by something, let's stay here for another two days, and if he doesn't make any moves, I'll go back and pick him up myself!" Audrey loves Wu and Wu, and her impression of Jenny is also very good, and she rarely comforts Jenny.

And Li Zijun, who worries Jenny at the moment, is enjoying a rare warm moment, he is lying on a comfortable bed, chewing the fruit handed by Catherine to his heart's content. At the same time, he is also interpreting what happened to Yale.

At dusk, Li Zijun and Catherine took advantage of the dark sky and few pedestrians on the street to sneak into the Yale mansion.

As Li Zijun expected before, there are only two people left in the huge mansion plus Yale's body. Except for Weiz, who volunteered to stay behind to take care of Yale's body, the others had already left.

Yale, who returned to his homeland full of ambition, would never have imagined that he would end up like this when he set foot on this land.

In any case, Yale was the hero of Monlin's great victory in the war with Dongwoo, and his decades of lurking in Dongwoo are enough to prove his loyalty. Even from a utilitarian point of view, Yale was familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of most of Dongyu's generals and their habits of using troops, but from this point of view, Heller should also protect him and reuse him! Li Zijun also made him his assassination target based on this consideration.

is such a character, who will be rewarded with a glass of poisoned wine shortly after returning to China, and will end up with almost no one to see him off after his death.

Looking at the Yale Mansion that has undergone great changes overnight, Li Zijun also has to sigh that the world is hot and cold!
