Through the memories of fusion, Li Zijun learned that he had come to a different shijie called 'Youlan Continent'.

The Youlan Continent is a magical continent with a long history of thousands of years, and the pinnacle of magic and martial arts has always been the supreme goal pursued by all intelligent beings here. The excess hormones of human beings directly stimulated the secretion of adrenaline, which also led to the fact that the Youlan Continent has never stopped fighting since the day it had written records. In the most chaotic period, there were even hundreds of countries, and a slightly larger city dared to call itself an empire, which shows the disorder of the situation at that time.

It wasn't until more than a thousand years ago that Christopher Lee, the greatest figure in the Youlan Continent, appeared, and it took him nearly fifty years to finally end the chaotic situation in the Youlan Continent and establish the Qin Ying Dynasty, which was also the only time in the history of the Youlan Continent that it was unified under the leadership of an empire!

After that, the Li family continued to rule the Qin Ying Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, but Christopher seemed to have exhausted the wisdom and energy of the Li family, and in the subsequent reign, the descendants of the Li family were not as good as the generation, and finally succeeded in seizing power by the prime minister and the generalissimo at that time, and the Qin Ying Dynasty was divided into two major empires, east and west.

The Eastern and Western Empires were even shorter-lived than the Qin Ying Dynasty! Soon after the death of their founding emperor, civil strife broke out in each of them, and important ministers supported their own troops to establish their own dynasties. The Eastern and Western Empires were also divided into five empires, Dongyu, Ziqing, Menglin, Fengqi and Aojin, together with the Zangbei and Turk-Hungarian Empires gradually formed by the steppe tribes, and seven empires appeared in the Youlan Continent.

Since the day the seven empires were born, they have never interrupted wars and killings with each other, and the internal power changes are also unusually frequent, and even some empires have royal families that have existed for less than a year before they are ousted!

This chaos lasted for hundreds of years, and it was not until more than two hundred years ago that the royal families of the Seven Great Empires slowly stabilized. In recent decades, due to the mutual checks and balances on Liliang, there has been less fighting between the seven empires. While skirmishes never stop, large-scale battles haven't happened for years!

Edlaide's father, Acheson Lee, was a hereditary earl of the Dongyu Empire, who returned to his own domain, the city of Salat on the Seine Peninsula, before Edward was born, and only brought Ed to the capital a few days ago in order to declare the heir to the throne to the imperial court.

When he was young, the Emperor had some friendship with Earl Acheson, and this time he heard that he had returned to the capital, and specially invited him to go with him to the outside of the city. Unexpectedly, in the process of playing, he suddenly encountered a group of men in black who tried to assassinate the emperor.

Acheson, who was usually a little bit of a slumber, seemed to be a different person when facing the Assassins, and stepped forward to save the Emperor's life when he was in the most danger!

In order to thank Count Acheson for saving his life, the emperor promoted him to hereditary marquis! and specially granted Acheson's only son, Edlaide, not to be downgraded to inherit the title according to the laws of the Dongyu Empire, but to directly inherit the title of Marquis of Acheson, and at the same time gave Edlaide all the lands on the Seine Peninsula that had no lord. Edlaide thus became the youngest marquis of the Dongyu Empire, but with the largest territory!

This time, in order to show the grace of heaven, the emperor sent 500 soldiers of the royal guard and 10 Ouchi guards along the way to protect the body of Earl Acheson and Edlaide back to the territory. Jenny, the second daughter of the earl, who had been married to the capital, also accompanied her husband Viscount Dick, accompanying her younger brother to send her father home.

Everyone thought it was just an ordinary trip home, but no one expected it to happen. Not only was Viscount Dick killed unexpectedly, but four of the ten Ouchi guards were killed and one was injured, and even Edlaide was replaced with Li Zijun's soul!

All this was a big surprise for Li Zijun! He knew very well that he was dead, but he didn't know Weishenme, but his soul suddenly came here and occupied all of Charity, including his memories! Li Zijun now felt like a clown hiding behind a mask, and he could be discovered by others at any time, and he really didn't know how he should live in this shijie.

"Marquis Edred, we have arrived in the small town of Da Praia, could you please get off the car and rest with Lady Jenny?" Just as Li Zijun was thinking wildly, Higgins's voice came from outside the carriage.

Higgins's words reminded Li Zijun that even if he wore a mask, no one could really get rid of his disguise, and instead of worrying, it was better to be happy, or his grandfather's words: 'Happiness is the most important thing!'

Thinking of this, Li Zijun was about to push the car door and get out of the car, and accidentally saw Jenny who was still lying opposite him without any movement.

"General Higgins, my second sister doesn't know that Weishenme hasn't woken up all this time, can you please help find a better doctor to see her again?" Li Zijun startled himself by opening his mouth, not only in a language he had never heard, but also in a child's voice. Immediately, he thought of his adventure, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head.

"Rest assured, Marquis! Before we arrived here, I had already sent for the famous doctors of Da Praia and the surrounding towns to be summoned here. As soon as Lady Jenny enters the room, someone will immediately give her proper treatment!" "Originally, Higgins didn't need to be so polite to Ed, a remote marquis, but because of Ed's somewhat mysterious background, Higgins didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

"That's General Higgins!" Li Zijun nodded politely at Higgins and got out of the carriage.

"Actually, the Marquis doesn't need to worry too much, our military doctor has already examined Ms. Jenny's injuries just now, and he has confirmed that Ms. Jenny is only a concussion of her internal organs, and there is nothing serious! Then Higgins briefly recounted what happened after he was struck by lightning, and Li Zijun realized that so many things had happened later, he sighed secretly, and followed Higgins into the courtyard in front of him.

Higgins requisitioned the town office in Da Praia, Li Zijun and Jenny were arranged in a suite, and a female doctor was specially hired for Jenny. Seeing such an arrangement, Li Zijun also had to sigh at Higgins's carefulness!

"Is there anything else I hope to be forgiven by the Marquis?" Higgins said politely while the female doctor was treating Jenny, pulling Li Zijun outside the door.

"General Higgins, you are being too polite!

"Marquis, I also told you before, I temporarily imprisoned those people in the Hou Mansion. Higgins grimaced at this.

"You've already said this, is there anything else?"

"They have experienced who they are by proving to each other. But if you let them all come back to you, it's going to be a big danger to keep you safe!

Li Zijun understood what Higgins meant when he heard this, and he was also very clear about Higgins's difficulties, so he hesitated slightly,

"General Higgins, I have transferred two of the servants in the Hou Mansion to take care of my sister and me's daily life, and the others will let them follow the back of the team. No one is allowed to enter the ranks without a summons! Do you think that's okay?"

"Thank you so much for the Marquis's understanding of the lower officials! I will definitely arrange for someone to take care of the family of the Hou Mansion, and I will never let them suffer!" Higgins didn't expect Ed's child to be so sensible, not only did he look a little differently at Ed.

"Then it's hard for General Higgins!, but I have something else to trouble the General?"

"My brother-in-law Dick also asks for help to restrain himself alone, as for other things, wait for my second sister to wake up!"

"Yes, yes! I wonder what else the Marquis commands?"

Li Zijun thought about it and shook his head. Higgins then turned and walked out to arrange other matters. Looking at Higgins' back, Li Zijun couldn't help but be suspicious. With a figure like Higgins who is next to the emperor, there is no need to please himself, a remote marquis with no power or office, what is the reason for Higgins to behave like this? Could this be the reason for Edlaide's assassination? Although Li Zijun came to this Shijie in a daze, he never wanted to be sent away in a daze. Compared with the past, he cherishes this hard-won second life even more!

Higgins inspected the defenses around the town hall before returning to his room. In the face of the constantly jumping flames, he remembered what his top boss Bellock said to him before leaving Beijing,

"Higgins, this escort is not trivial, and there must not be the slightest mistake! If something happens to the Marquis of Edlaide, not only will your head fall to the ground, but even your family and I will be implicated! Remember, remember!"

At the time, Higgins didn't pay much attention to Belloc's words, but now it seems that at that time, Belloc had already gotten some rumors. If he followed this inference, the road ahead of him would definitely be even more dangerous! He hesitated again and again, and finally decided to send someone back to Beijing to ask for help!

The news of the assassination of Marquis Edleide Lee was soon transmitted back to the capital, and a viscount and four Ouchi guards were killed on the spot, and Bob, the deputy commander of the Ouchi guard, was seriously injured! The Dongyu Empire, which had been quiet for many years, had a vicious incident of assassination of the emperor and the marquis, and the high-ranking officials of various factions chose to keep their mouths shut and live in seclusion, fearing that their unintentional actions at this moment would stimulate the emperor's nerves! For a while, the capital became noisy.

The unusual tranquility of the Dongyu Imperial Court also caused an undercurrent to surge in the capital, all kinds of rumors erupted, and a royal secret that had been sealed for many years surfaced again!

About ten years ago, the Earl of Acheson was still living in the capital, when he had just married a young lady from a poor aristocratic background.

A very fortuitous event made the countess a good friend of the emperor's favorite daughter, Gladys, and they went in and out together on many occasions, and the countess became a regular visitor to the palace as a matter of course. This also makes those who envy the good deeds of the earl's affair a little more viciously jealous!

So a fragrant rumor slowly spread, and the emperor Bixia and the countess became the protagonists of this rumor at some point.

There was never a shortage of listeners and interpreters for such stories, and this rumor spread throughout the capital's high society at great speed, becoming the most talked about peachy incident among the aristocracy. Of course, people consciously kept Count Acheson out of the gossip.

If it weren't for what happened later, this scandal about Emperor Bixia might just be a little talk about the nobles after dinner, after all, cheating is already an open secret in the upper class of the Dongyu Empire, and no one will care too much about it.

But at this time, Princess Sicilia died unexpectedly! Although the palace tried its best to block this matter, Zuihou still spread the cause of Princess Sicilia's death. It turned out that she did not die of disease, but was slapped to death by the emperor!

At this time when Princess Sicilia was killed, the Countess happened to be in the palace. People quickly linked these two events, and soon rumors spread that Cecilia had broken the emperor's good deeds and Bixia killed the imperial concubine in anger.

This blood-stained peach-colored story quickly spread throughout the capital, and Count Acheson finally heard some rumors, and he no longer had the face to stay in the capital, so he quietly left the capital with his wife and returned to the territory of Salat City.

Ben came here, and the story should be over, but what everyone didn't expect was that less than six months after the countess returned to Salat City, Edlaide was born!

Perhaps because he felt that he could no longer face Earl Acheson, not long after Edlaide was born, the Countess secretly left the Earl's Court and completely disappeared from people's sight!

The high coincidence of time linked Edlaide and Emperor Bixia again, which also made Count Acheson the biggest laughing stock of the Dongyu Empire!

It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that Acheson's love for Edlaide was unusually much more than his own three biological daughters! This time, after Earl Acheson entered Beijing, he had already reported to the imperial court, and Edlaide would inherit his title in the future.

Count Acheson's performance is tantamount to denying the fragrant rumors in disguise. You must know that there are many ways to prove whether the two people are related by blood, so people gradually lack enthusiasm for this matter.

In fact, this incident had nothing to do with the attack on Edlaide, but a message from the palace before forced the two things together.

The news claimed that the emperor had not been able to find out who the murderer had been after his assassination! He began to suspect that a certain prince had bad intentions, and in a fit of rage, he said that he would not pass the throne to the princes.

It was because of this sentence that Edlaide's mysterious life story was unearthed again.

There were even people who secretly analyzed the matter from the age of the emperor, the emperor is fifty-two years old this year, this supreme is extremely talented in martial arts, and has already entered the ranks of the great sword master many years ago. For a great sword master-level martial artist, seventy-five years old is already the minimum age for a great sword master to die.

At that time, Amity was at his most mature stage, both mentally and personally. Calculated in this way, Ed is indeed more suitable than those older princes to take over the throne of the Dongyu Empire.

The next rumors became more and more boundless, and even claimed that the emperor's assassination was nothing more than a self-talk show by Bixia, the purpose of which was to get rid of Earl Acheson and clear the first obstacle for Edlaide's future succession!

These miscellaneous rumors eventually pushed Edlaide to the forefront and found the most plausible explanation for his assassination. All of a sudden, all the fingers were pointed at the princes who were in real power!

At this stage, the rumors have already made people smell some conspiracy, and the atmosphere in the upper echelons of the Dongyu Empire has become more and more tense, and the vast majority of people have begun to choose to remain silent. But the more this happens, the more it feels like a storm is coming, and even the princes don't dare to go out easily, they are all worried about touching the emperor's sensitive nerves at this time!

Only the fifth prince, Dennis, still went his own way, ignoring the opinions of other people, and today he swaggered to the house of the eldest prince Waters.

"Big brother, I heard that my father rewarded you with a bottle of 'Hundred Flowers Brew' last night, you must let me taste it today!" Dennis shouted loudly as soon as he entered the palace, and then sat down opposite Vorster, putting on a rogue look of 'If you don't give me a drink, I won't leave today!'. ”

"I know you're going to come today, let's go!" Seeing Dennis's appearance, Vorst shook his head and walked towards the pavilion of the palace with Dennis.

'Baihua Alcohol' is a fine wine secretly made by the elves collecting all kinds of flowers in the elf forest and secretly brewing through a special brewing process! She is not only sweet in the mouth, with an endless aftertaste, but also has the effect of delaying aging and maintaining beauty at the same time! Therefore, 'Baihua Brew' is not only a holy product in the minds of those who are good drinkers, but also a good prescription for the beauty that the ladies of all countries are looking for. With such a fine wine, the elves worked hard, and they could only make six or seven hundred bottles a year, and the elves put five hundred bottles into the Youlan Continent every year. However, this figure is far from satisfying the needs of the Youlan Continent, and the demand is far greater than the supply, so that the price of 'Baihua Brew' continues to rise, and the 'Baihua Brew' has the title of 'liquid gold'! But even so, 'Baihua Brew' has always been in a state of price and no market in Youlan Continent, which makes the drunkards and those noblewomen who are eager to retain their youth in Youlan Continent feel itchy!

Before they could enter the water pavilion, Dennis saw that it was already full of all kinds of snacks to accompany the wine, and all kinds of seasonal fruits were prepared next to it. In the middle of the table is a dark blue potbelly bottle, which is the 'Hundred Flowers Brew' that makes him salivate.

"Big brother still knows me!" Dennis smiled as he opened the bottle and filled a glass for Waters and himself.

Waters nodded slightly at the butler guarding the water pavilion, and the butler immediately walked out of the water pavilion with the other subordinates, standing a little farther away and waiting for Waters' call.

"Big brother, how are these of your subordinates trained?" and stood aside with one look, those guys in my house don't know the rules so well!" Dennis said with a smile as he picked up his glass and touched Waters lightly.

"Good wine!" Dennis just took a sip of 'Hundred Flowers Wine', and immediately felt the strong aroma of wine, and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's not particularly important to have unruly rules, the most important thing is not to let people with evil intentions get mixed around!

"Big brother, although I don't dare to say that everyone in my house is fine, I can definitely guarantee that those who have problems will not have a chance to get close to me!" Dennis said this with a meaningful look at Waters.

"Alright, let's not talk about these things anymore. Do you have any recent discoveries?" Vorster knew that Dennis was aware that he had sent two men to his side, which led to today's performance, and Vorster chose to divert the topic.

"I have never been able to find out anything about the assassination of my father, the other party has done too cleanly! Not only did all the assassins commit suicide after their defeat, but other people related to this incident also committed suicide one after another, and I can't find any clues at all! They seem to be a group of characters who appeared out of thin air, and I have not been able to find out their origin with great efforts!" Dennis no longer entangled with Waters, and directly talked about the assassination of the emperor.

"It's just that Kemp is acting a little strangely! He doesn't seem to be keen on finding out who is trying to assassinate his father, but he is very concerned about who is investigating the matter. I suspect that the rumors may not be completely groundless, and I am afraid that this matter really has something to do with my father!"

"The results of my investigation are similar. What do you think of Ed's assassination?"

"I'm too low in the inner line with Ed and Higgins, and I was imprisoned by Higgins for a while in the inside line of the Earl's Court, and the situation they described is too vague, I just suspect that this matter may have been done by the ninth brother. But I don't have any strong evidence at hand, it's all speculation!"

"Look at this, do you find anything?" Waters took a few pieces of paper from his bosom and handed them to Dennis.

Dennis took the pieces of paper, glanced at them casually, and his heart moved, which recorded the assassination of Edlaide. It seems that Waters has a high-level interior in Ed's team, and Dennis doesn't want to dwell too much on it, so he quickly reads through the papers.

These sheets of paper provide a very detailed description of the entire incident, not only giving a detailed description of each of the Assassins who appeared, but also discussing the reactions of the Ouchi guards and the royal guards at the time, as well as some personal inferences. It seems that Waters has more than one inside line in Ed's team, and through this information, Dennis can easily deduce that Waters has the highest level of inside line, and Waters is showing Dennis his absolute trust in him.

"What do you think?" Waters asked, picking up the information Dennis had handed over.

"Based on this information, I can at least tell that Lao Jiu has something to do with this matter! The two marksmen who shot Dick must be the male and female arrows Bell and Melly, and they are the only ones who can do such a thing as poisoning the 'child and mother arrows'. They have always been Lao Jiu's most powerful subordinates, but this time they may not be able to come back alive. ”

"Outsiders are all guessing about Charity's background, but we brothers know this very well. Lao Jiu brutalized his brother, this has touched the bottom line of his father, and Lao Jiu will never leave any clues!" Waters said with a solemn expression.

"As for that lightning, even if there is no later magic scroll, I can conclude that it was not directly released by a magician! The time between Higgins discovering that the magic elements gathered and the lightning falling is very short, lightning belongs to wind magic, and there will be no more than three people in the Dongyu Empire who can release that magic in such a short time! And I happen to know that they are unlikely to appear in that place during this time. ”

"The magicians of other countries or the Cult of God would not do such a big fight for a marquis, this is a matter that can easily cause disputes between the two countries! Therefore, I judge that the lightning came from the magic scroll. I've even guessed the one who started the magic scroll!" Dennis said with a smile.

"Oh, who?"

"Archibald! the guy who is about to advance to the rank of High Magician. It was also a coincidence that I found out that when I was investigating the assassination of my father some time ago, I unexpectedly found that this guy had secretly left the capital, and it didn't take long for the assassination of Edlaide to happen. ”

"It's really thanks to that carriage, if it weren't for the magic protection array on it to resist it, and the guards in the car desperately protecting each other, that lightning bolt could have killed Ed!"

"What did you mean when you said it was at least related to Lao Jiu?"

"I've always thought that the 'bell ringer' is Lao Liu's subordinate, but I have never had any evidence, so I suspect that this matter has something to do with Lao Liu. With that, Dennis paused and looked at Waters.

"The Dongyu Imperial Court has been calm for too many years, and if it continues like this, Lao Jiu will not have any chance to inherit the throne. His goal was to muddy the waters in order to achieve the goal of winning in the chaos. And even if this matter is found to be his doing, he can use the excuse of avenging his mother to prevaricate the past. His father has always felt guilty about Princess Cecilia, and Lao Jiu is likely to rely on this incident to save his life. Therefore, in his assumption Ed must die!"

"As for the sixth weishenme involved, I can't see it clearly!"

"Big brother, then who do you think wants to assassinate the Emperor?" Dennis asked with a serious expression as he put away his smile at this time.

"I can't see through it! It's a strange thing, if the other party really succeeds, I can't think of anyone who will benefit! The whole thing is so strange that I can't even find a person to suspect!" Waters shook his head helplessly.

"Could it really be a bureau set up by my father?"

Waters hesitated for a moment,

"Let's wait and see!"
