Chapter 562: Bingham's 'Old Love'
In the afterglow of the setting sun, Lyle pulled the carriage firmly in front of the town's only inn.
Obviously, the news of the imminent arrival of Alec, the former prime minister, has been received here. At this moment, all the service staff of this hotel, including the owner, are waiting for Alec's appearance.
As soon as the carriage stopped, the boss-like guy couldn't wait to get out of the crowd, and it seemed that he was ready to step forward and pull the door open for Prime Minister Alec.
"Go back!" a white horse stuck between the boss and the carriage, and the cold saber made the boss shiver unconsciously.
"Master Jun, I don't have any malicious intentions, I just want to serve the old prime minister to get out of the car and rest!" Looking up at the fierce Li Zijun on horseback, the boss explained tremblingly.
"I know that you have no malicious intentions, otherwise, your head would have moved a long time ago! This time I just want to remind you that if anyone wants to approach the prime minister at will before I get my permission next time, then you will not be as lucky as you are now!" Li Zijun looked at the boss and laughed evilly, and then put his sword into the sheath.
Where's 'Wake Up'? Just when the boss was confused, he suddenly felt a chill on his chest. Only then did he realize that the position of his heart was completely exposed at the moment!
"Are there any other guests in your hotel?" Li Zijun didn't seem to notice that the boss was sifting through chaff at the moment, and was still arrogantly asking about the situation.
"Yes, no"
"Is there any?"
"We have booked two rooms, but the guests in these two rooms have not checked in yet!" Another woman came out of the crowd, and she answered Li Zijun's question on behalf of the boss.
"Who are you?"
"I'm the hostess of this hotel!" the woman was obviously much more daring than the boss. Under Li Zijun's aggressive gaze, her expression hardly changed.
"You seem to be a lot younger than him, don't you?" Li Zijun said with a wicked smile on his face.
"As far as I know. 'I don't think it's hard to understand how hard it is for my husband to choose to marry me?"
"It's really easy to understand! Can you tell me your name?" Although Li Zijun had tried his best to restrain his coercion, it didn't mean. Everyone was able to stand in front of him and talk like this woman, and he couldn't help but be full of curiosity about this woman.
"Lisa, it's just that this is my husband's proper name, and you'd better call me 'Lady Mill.'" The woman said as she threw a wink at Li Zijun.
"'Lisa'! a good name! Then Mrs. Mill, I'm going to charter the whole inn now, can you help me figure it out?" Catherine suddenly stood in front of the proprietress and shoved a gold coin into her hand.
"Of course, no problem!, please!" the proprietress smiled in surprise when she saw the gold coin in her hand, and bowed down to invite Catherine into the hotel.
Catherine and York checked the inside and outside of the hotel before they came out and nodded to Li Zijun and Lyle, who had been waiting outside.
After getting the signal from Catherine and York. Li Zijun personally went over to invite Prime Minister Alec out of the car and escorted him into his room.
"Is there any problem?" Alec didn't speak, but just used his movements to ask Li Zijun about the situation.
"My lord, this house is fine, you can speak with confidence. Catherine answered Alec's question in place of Li Zijun.
"This house?"
"There are a few houses here with bamboos embedded in the walls, so they can eavesdrop on everything going on in those rooms!"
"Looks like we're living in a black shop!" Alec wanted everyone to have a good night's rest, but he didn't expect this to be the result, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.
"This is no ordinary black shop, and if I'm not mistaken, that Lady Mir is still a follower of the Cult of the Dark Moon God. We've got yourself caught in the net this time!"
"The Dark Moon God Sect, it can't be such a coincidence, right?" I just met the family teaching of the sixth prince, and now I lived in the black shop of the Dark Moon God Sect, no wonder Catherine has such feelings.
"Remember my dwarven brother Bingham, who was once deceived by a woman named 'Lisa'. If it weren't for me and my second sister meeting him in time. I'm afraid he's dead by now!"
"Later, I accidentally learned that the 'Lisa' gang of liars all belong to the Dark Moon God Cult!"
"Originally, I thought they had already fled the confines of Filano City, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. They all hid in this place!"
"It's really 'no effort to get through the iron shoes', and this time I'm going to get justice for my brother!" he said. A cold light flashed in Li Zijun's eyes.
"How do you know that this 'Lisa' must be the other 'Lisa'?" The name 'Lisa' is not uncommon, and there are many people who have duplicate names!"
"Get rid of. Catherine, you don't think I've been talking to her for so long, and I'm really interested in her, are you?"
Her image, her habit of speaking, and some of her habitual movements are very close to what Bingham described. Crucially, there were slight folds in her outer pants at the knees, which was definitely the result of regular prayer given the neatness of her whole body. ”
"She doesn't have any traces of the magical elements of light on her body, and she's obviously not a believer in the Cult of Light, so doesn't her identity become known?"
"I don't believe that so many coincidences can be concentrated on one person, if this is really the case, it can only make her think that she is unlucky!"
"Don't be careless, Edward, if my judgment is correct, neither this Lady Mill nor that Hearst are merely the 'forward observation posts' of the Great Prince and the Sixth Prince, and they are all waiting for my definite attitude at the moment. ”
"The best strategy for us now is to remain neutral! as soon as some of our actions irritate them and upset the balance, they immediately speed up the pace of their actions!"
"You are still injured now, and we people are still not enough to protect ourselves, you must not be rash at this time!" Alec realized that Li Zijun was murderous, and hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him.
"Father-in-law, don't worry, as long as they don't provoke me, I will never take the initiative to provoke them!"
"But once they make the first move, then it's no wonder I'm ruthless!" Li Zijun smiled coldly and turned his gaze to the window.
Li Zijun knew very well that the sixth prince Abraham might accept Alec's neutrality, but the eldest prince Waters would not be willing to get this result, and he must see Alec's unequivocal support for him. And this is obviously impossible for Aggreko himself!
Under the aggressive momentum of the eldest prince, it is almost impossible for the three parties to find a balance that is acceptable to all three parties overnight.
This also means that the first night of Alec and Li Zijun's return to Beijing will be an unquiet night!
As the three of them spoke, Lyle had already taken care of the carriage and returned to Alec's side.
"Father, you and Uncle Lyle will rest for a while, Catherine and I will watch them prepare dinner, I don't want them to add any other ingredients to our meal!" Li Zijun smiled and nodded to Alec and Lyle, and motioned for Catherine and York to walk out of the room with him.
"Are you going to strike first?" Alec was observant, but he didn't know Li Zijun as well as Catherine. Catherine saw through Li Zijun's thoughts almost at a glance!
"Since we are destined to not be good, why do we have to wait for the other party to do it first?!"
"Felton has rushed back with someone, and he came back just in time, and a few of us can discuss together what kind of dinner table we will prepare for that Lady Mill!" Li Zijun's ears moved, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
"I agree with the young master's plan of 'strike first', but I don't think it's time yet!" After coming to Li Zijun's room, in order to give Felton more time to think, York was the first to express his opinion.
"I agree with York!" Filton's eyes lit up at York's words, and he quickly gave his answer.
Hearing the answers of the two, Li Zijun fell into deep thought, and soon he realized his anxiety in this matter, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head:
"Then when do you think it's more appropriate to do it?" Li Zijun said while reorganizing his thoughts and asking the two for advice again.
Filton looked at York and smiled slightly, and handed the opportunity to him without a trace.
York's performance some time ago disappointed Lee Zi Jun, and he needed this opportunity to reverse Li Zi Jun's influence.
After nodding appreciatively at Filton, York unfolded his analysis:
"If I'm not bad as expected, after dinner, the eldest prince and the sixth prince will be sent separately, and their heavyweight 'negotiators' will negotiate with Prime Minister Alec. ”
"According to the estimation of the time of our meeting with Hearst and Lady Mill, the representative of the Sixth Prince is seventy percent sure that he will arrive first!" said this, and York paused slightly.
"You're going to do it after the arrival of the eldest prince's representative, aren't you worried about the representative's escort having an impact on our actions?" Li Zijun quickly guessed York's thoughts.
"I guess that in order to show respect for the old prime minister, I don't think they will have too many guards with them!
"This is already within the boundaries of the city of Filano, and I believe that His Majesty Fergill has also received the news of the old prime minister's return to Beijing. If nothing else, he should also send a capable team to ensure the safety of the old prime minister. Without the fetters in his heart, York's mind finally regained its former sobriety!
