Hearing Queen Athena's words, Jima was slightly stunned at first, but she immediately figured out the trick.

"You say it's because of General Yule?" asked Hima, looking at her mother, incredulous.

Queen Athena looked at Hima with a gratifying smile and encouraged her to continue.

"The Royal Guard has always been selected and recommended by the major military districts, but in the past ten years, there have been few major wars in other legions except for the Yule Legion. As a result, Yule's legion has gradually become a larger part of the Royal Guard, especially among ordinary generals, and their proportion will be even higher! Most of them have fought alongside Yule in the past, and this friendship formed in battle is precious! Even if those generals are not Yule's cronies, it will be difficult for them to fight with all their strength when facing Yule, and use them to contain Edlaide and Yule, in your words, the more people they have, the more likely they are to escape!"

"Now you can re-predict what is the chance that Edlaide will succeed in escaping Khorfakan?"

"Before listening to your analysis, I thought that Edlaide would have a chance of being out of ten at best, but now it seems, especially after Uncle Gibran withdrew, I think that Edlaide's chances of getting out of Khor Fakkan have risen to seventy!" said Hima after a little deliberation.

If Li Zijun could hear this analysis of Jima with his own ears, he would definitely immediately introduce her as a confidant, and Jima's judgment was almost exactly the same as his own conclusion!

"It's just that I'm still a little skeptical about the cooperation between Edlaide and Yule, after all, they just experienced the bloody battle of Wimbleton, how could they be so quick to let go of their suspicions?

"Speaking of that battle, I have to say a word for Yule, he really did his best! If you have to find a problem for that battle, then it must be because your father thinks too much!"

"This is also a big problem for your father all along! Every time he sets a jihua, he will have too many goals to achieve, but he ignores one point, that is, he himself does not have the talent to control the big situation! The result is that each of his jihua looks magnificent, but every time he ignores many important factors, he has to end up helpless! This also makes him empty of an excellent general like Yul, but he has never been able to achieve any substantive results. ”

"In the battle with the Dongyu Empire, he ignored not only Edlaide, but also the Turk-Hungarian Empire! Even if Boyle and Julie were incompetent, they would not have watched the Monlin Empire surround them. And this time, while he ignored Edlaide and Yule's individual abilities, he also ignored the tremendous energy generated by their combination. ”

"If Father and Emperor concentrate on dealing with Edlaide this time, with the advantage in all aspects, even if Edlaide can escape from the Monlin Empire, he will pay an extremely painful price!"

"But the father wants to solve the matter of General Yule together, which multiplies the uncertainty in the execution of Jihua, and it is precisely for this reason that the father is afraid that he will have to draw water again this time!"

"Both of them are aware of this, and the bond between them will be much stronger than we imagined!"

"It's just that your father is not completely out of benefit by doing this, at least he gave us a chance!"

"Chance?" said Hima, looking at Queen Athena with some confusion.

"Do you think Yule has always supported Tiffany's idea that he is himself?"

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not!"

"Yule is not only extremely intelligent, but also able to become a famous general, which also shows that he is not a reckless person! I can tell you very clearly that all of Yule's actions are actually your father's will!"

"What?" was startled and stood up from her chair.

"Sit down, don't be surprised, you still look like the future heir of the Monlin Empire?"

"Isn't my father choosing Tiffany in disguise?" said Jima a little anxiously, she didn't understand that Empress Athena was still acting so calmly.

"So what? It's one thing he thinks, it's another if he can do it!" said Empress Athena with a sneer in the direction of Heller's palace.

"Your father had already made a mistake by asking Yule to support Tiffany, and now what he is doing is just a mistake on top of a mistake, and there is nothing to make a fuss about!"

"If the prince or princess elected by the military general succeeds in ascending the throne in the future, the status of this military general will definitely instantly surpass all the courtiers! In the short term, it may not be nothing, but if it continues to develop like this, with the continuous improvement of the status of this military general, the imperial power will be weakened to a pitiful point. At that time, even if the general had no ideas, his children could hardly guarantee that they would not be heretical. It is very likely that one day in the future, they will directly take the position of the monarch! And this is what your father fears the most!"

"When your father had just chosen Tiffany to become Monlin's heir, he was worried that Tiffany would not be supported by the courtiers because of Tiffany's weak disposition, and that your grandmother and I would oppose his proposal on this ground. In desperation, your father came up with the idea of building momentum, hoping to use Yule's prestige in the court to help Tiffany gather popularity in the court. Yule also knew very well that this matter would not only not do him any good, but on the contrary, it would most likely lead to death! In order to avoid suspicion, Yule tried to keep himself out of the way, even his other children! ”

"But even so, Yule's status in the court is still increasing day by day! And at this time, your father and the emperor finally discovered the shortcomings in this, but at that time, the mistake was already made, and he had no way to turn back. That's why he killed Yule!"

"It's just that for so many years, Yule has always been in a good manner, especially in the battle against the Turk-Hungarian Empire, almost every battle must be won! ”

"The failure of this crusade has temporarily lowered Yule's prestige, coupled with our encouragement, so that your father and emperor finally waited for an opportunity, a chance to get rid of Yule! It's just that Yule's prestige in the army is still very high, in fact, the generals in the army are very clear, that battle is Yule, if another person faces Edlaide, whether he can get out of the way is a very debatable thing. This also made it impossible for your father to deal with Yule head-on, so he thought of assassination. Actually, it's understandable that your father has such thoughts, but he shouldn't have put Edlaide and Yule together!"

"Yule himself is an old fox who is about to become a god, how could he not have guessed that your father is going to deal with him! Edlaide is another extremely clever fellow, and he has already seen through your father's thoughts. They both feel dangerous at the same time, how do you think they will react?"

"The reason why they joined forces is probably because of your fierce pursuit of General Yul!" said Hima as she looked at her mother and smiled.

"Presumptuous!, how can you talk to the Queen Mother like that!" said Queen Athena with a feigned anger. Jima knew that the queen mother was not really angry with her, and she smiled and stuck out her tongue. Seeing Jima's appearance, Queen Athena couldn't keep a straight face anymore and showed a rare kind smile.

"Queen Mother, do you think General Yule will defect to the Dongyu Empire?"

"Yule will never leave! His honor comes from the Monlin Empire, and he can't let himself be a traitor! But that doesn't stop him from helping Edlaide escape from the Monlin Empire!"

"He doesn't want to live anymore, and Weishenme still wants to help Edlaide, his enemy?"

"For the sake of the continuation of the family! For the sake of his most outstanding son Gavin to have a bright future! Yule has already guessed some clues from the fact that I let you into the palace, in fact, I did want to do something, but now it seems that since I can't get any benefits, I still want to be that villain!"

"Gibran's withdrawal, Mu Li'er's reminder, and letting Yule's family go, this time Edlaide owes us a lot of favors, and these favors will soon play an important role!" said Queen Athena with confidence.

"Mother, listen to you, you are almost 100% sure that Edlaide will escape from Khor Fakkan, weishenme your confidence will be so strong?"

"You also analyzed it just now, because of Yule's relationship, the Royal Guards will definitely not do their best to encircle Edlaide, and it can even be said to be useless to some extent!"

"Let's talk about the remaining two Juggernauts!Bradley may be confident on the surface, but in fact he has no advantage against Edlaide, and I have asked Gibran to predict the winner of the battle between them. Do you know what he said to me? Equal opportunity, half a person! Bradley was nowhere near as tall in Edlaide's eyes as we seemed. ”

"And Jeffrey and Bradley's strength is between the best, and the two of them don't have any advantage! And Thomas has disappeared, which already shows his attitude, do you really think that Jeffrey will fight with Edlaide? I am not optimistic about this possibility! As long as Edlaide does not leave the gate guarded by Jeffrey, Jeffrey will not even move!"

"As far as I know, the people sent by the Dongyu Empire to pick up Edlaide this time are all the children of dignitaries in the Dongyu Dynasty. Their parents would let their proudest children appear in the dangerous city of Holfekan without any certainty?With Camilla's position in the Cult of the Illuminati, if she didn't think Edreder was safe, she would have left so easily? Letting Uncle Gibran quit is an act of pushing the boat along the water, but it also means that I have to do it!"

"Tiffany & Co. was able to sit down with Edlaide today for a meeting, and that they had reached an agreement! Whatever they discussed, the first issue they had to address was how to get Edlaide out safely. In recent years, with Gavin's help, Tiffany & Co. has also gathered a large number of followers around her, and their strength in Howel Fakkan should not be underestimated. ”

"All these factors are superimposed, do you still think that Edlaide can't escape Khorfakan?"

"Mother, what should we do next?"

"We've done enough before, and now it's our turn to watch the fun! Edlaide's choreography is so good that I don't want to miss it!" said Queen Athena with a pun.

Hima was a little hesitant at first, but when she saw her mother suddenly wink at her, Hima instantly realized and smiled with Queen Athena.

Empress Athena had completed all her deployments and was ready to sit down with the eldest princess to watch the clouds roll in the sky! But Li Zijun was not in such a mood at the moment, and after pulling Catherine out of his room, he immediately came to the place where Camilla used to live. After Camilla left, it had become a room for Van Lundin.

Seeing Li Zijun and Catherine hurriedly walking into their room, Fan Lunding didn't know why, and hurriedly put down the wine glass in his hand and greeted him. When he was fine, Van Lunding liked to have a few drinks on his own, and he never made a mistake because of this, whether it was the Night Elf or Li Zijun, they were used to his innocuous hobby.

"What's the matter?"

"Elder Van Lunding, have you ever heard of a substance that mostly comes in a powdery state, and if you secretly sprinkle it on someone, we can track that person through the smell it emits, even if the person is far away. And this person won't notice this smell on his body yet?" Li Zijun asked as soon as he entered the room, pulling Fan Lunding.

"I don't need to hear about it, we Night Elves themselves often use this method to track down our assassins! Catherine also knows this very well, didn't she tell you?" Van Lunding looked at the two of them a little strangely when he heard Li Zijun actually ask such a simple question.

"I was in a bit of a hurry, so I forgot to ask Catherine about it!" Li Zijun actually looked down at Catherine, and he looked back at Catherine embarrassedly.

Fortunately, Catherine didn't care, and she smiled at Li Zijun with understanding.

"Master Hou, do you have any characters that need to be tracked? just give orders to come down, you don't need to touch these things!" Fan Lunding guessed as a matter of course.

Li Zijun didn't have any other ideas, but when he heard Fan Lunding say this, he had some new ideas.

"How long can you keep the smell of this thing in your hands and avoid being discovered?" asked Li Zijun curiously.

"In summer, because the human body is always sweating, the smell will last for a shorter time, but that can be retained for at least seven days, and now in this season, if the other party is stained with our medicinal powder, he will not be able to escape our tracking in ten days and within a hundred miles. ”

"The smell of our powder is extremely weak, and except for the special method of using our Night Elves, it is difficult for anyone else to smell even if there is a difference, and it is usually difficult to detect. ”

"If someone else spilled this smell on me, would you find out?"

"It's hard! The methods of each faction are different, and even among us Night Elves there are several different methods. Some take advantage of the animal's extraordinary sense of smell, some use the special way of breathing, and some take advantage of the air that the smell can be! Unless you have a clear understanding of the other person's methods, it is almost impossible to find out that you have been tricked!"

"This is a bit troublesome!" Li Zijun couldn't help but be a little worried when he heard Fan Lunding's explanation.

"Master Hou, what happened?" Seeing Li Zijun's expression, Fan Lunding couldn't help but get nervous.

"Ed, do you think someone is using this method on you?" Catherine finally understood at this time that Li Zijun had pulled her to Van Lunding, and she hurriedly asked.

"Remember what you said to me, the maids in the Eldest Princess's Mansion have been strictly trained, especially the maids of that level just now, they are all well-trained! She should never react so much to the smell of me, and even if she thinks that I have played with those slaves, she hates me in her heart, and she will have many ways to hide her emotions. Li Zijun said this, and stopped to look at Van Lunding and Catherine.

"You mean?" Catherine immediately realized when she heard Li Zijun's words!

"That's right, that means that all of that maid's actions just now were intentional, and her main purpose in doing so was most likely to remind me that I was passive!"

"After you and Master Camilla left, I secretly protected the eldest prince for a while according to your instructions, and they should have done it at that time. Catherine had been sent in to protect Edlaide, but she felt guilty that something like this had happened.

"We are surrounded by enemies, and it is normal that there are places that cannot be taken care of. And I think Heller, in order to avoid arousing my suspicions, would not have easily arranged for someone to come here, and I suspect that the most likely person to do something here is the maid. She helped me pack my clothes, and even here you might be hard-pressed to find out what she was doing!" Li Zijun smiled and comforted Catherine.

"If that's what you say, then she's going to tell you about it, she's a maid in the eldest princess's mansion, how could she help you for no reason?" asked Catherine, puzzled.

"It's not like everyone in the Dongyu Empire wants me to go back alive, and it's not like everyone in the Monlin Empire wants me to die here!"

"If my guess is correct, what this maid did should have come entirely from the instructions of the eldest princess, Jima. While the eldest princess ordered this maid to cooperate with Heller's will to spy on us, she was also using her to remove some unnecessary threats around us! In this way, putting aside other interests, as long as we can escape from the Menglin Empire smoothly in the future, we will have to accept her favor!"

"Princess Jima probably doesn't know about your relationship with General Yul and the eldest prince, on the surface, the Calby caravan has always lived in the eldest princess's mansion, could she also want to win you over, or cooperate with you directly?" Van Lunding tried to ask.

"I hope so!" Li Zijun suddenly felt that the eldest princess, who originally seemed very simple, suddenly became complicated, giving him a feeling that he couldn't see through.

"At least she's not showing signs of turning against us right now, and we don't have any more time to look into that, she's put it aside. Li Zijun felt as if he had discovered something, but when he looked closely, it was a fog, and he had to temporarily give up the purpose of continuing to track down Jima.

"Elder Van Lunding, if I suspect that someone has sprinkled powder like the one you said on my body, is there any way you can guarantee that these smells will be removed?"

"It's not difficult, I can guarantee that no one will find your trace!" Van Lunding suddenly showed a very meaningful smile, Li Zijun looked at Van Lunding's smile, and didn't know that Weishenme had a little more ominous premonition!

In the blink of an eye, two more days will be the day when the Colby caravan enters the palace to perform. During this time, almost everyone in the caravan was rehearsing desperately in order to be able to perform more perfectly, and after so many days of hard work, the caravan was full of confidence in winning the bet with Heller, and they were all looking forward to the moment when they would turn into civilians and gain freedom!

Tonight is the day when Colby leaves the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and after that, Van Lunding will disguise himself as him and enter the palace to perform in his place.

Colby was a modest and kind person, and had a high prestige among the slaves, and also gave Li Zijun great help. Li Zijun couldn't bear to let Colby leave silently like this, he invited all the slaves to dinner in his personal name, and saw Colby off in disguise in this way!

"Sisters, the day after tomorrow is the day you perform on stage, and I firmly believe that day will record the most important moment of your life! Now, please ask the boss to speak for us!" Li Zijun took the lead in applauding, and the audience applauded thunderously, and all the slaves in the audience stood up and couldn't stop applauding when they looked at Kaul.

"Sisters, this is the happiest day I've ever had since I became the owner of a slave caravan, because from this day forward, I finally don't have to trade my brothers and sisters like pigs and dogs!" said Colby, uncontrollably excited, and his hands trembling slightly.
