Chapter 436: Follow Him

"Ed Gongzi, time is pressing, then I won't be polite to you!Let's go together, shall we?" Rogge hesitated for a while, but finally agreed to Li Zijun's suggestion, and took him and his two men to the town mayor's assembly place together.

"Rogge, didn't I ask you to gather five people, why did you only have four people?"

"What can I do?!, all the young and middle-aged people in the village have been contendered to serve as soldiers, and now there is only one child under the age of twelve and an old man without a leg in the whole village, except for the three of us, are you going to let me take them to death?" Rogge seemed to be familiar with the mayor, and did not have too many scruples in his conversation.

"Who is this?" At this time, the mayor saw Li Zijun behind Rogge, and his vision was naturally a few points higher than Rogge, and he immediately noticed that Li Zijun was different.

"This is Prince Ed, he also came to experience, he heard that the two princes were trapped, and took the initiative to come and help. ”

"Hello, mayor!" After Rogge's introduction, Li Zijun took a half step forward and bowed slightly to the mayor.

"Hello!" When the mayor saw Li Zijun actually saluting him, he immediately looked down on Li Zijun a little. The Aojin Empire is a particularly hierarchical kingdom in which the nobles of the upper ranks will never give salutes to officials below him. The mayor judged from this that Li Zijun's identity should be lower than him, and his eyes immediately turned back to Rogge's body.

"You're the only one here who has ever experienced a big war, so hurry over and help Hope organize all the strong men in each village. I've already asked for help from several of the surrounding towns, and we'll set off when their strong men arrive. ”

"We're going to get the two princes out this time anyway!" said the mayor, though he was sure. But the deep worry in his eyes betrayed his heart.

In Li Zijun's opinion, regardless of whether this group of ordinary farmers can deal with the beasts in the mountains, it is to enter the Essex Mountains, which are known for their steepness. Li Zijun was very curious about how they were going to solve this problem!

After a while, when no one was around, the mayor looked at the sky and gave the order to go.

Looking at this team of two or three hundred people, almost entirely composed of farmers, Li Zijun sighed secretly, he really couldn't think of any good way. He didn't have the curiosity he had before, he just hoped that the group would return to where they had set out alive.

At the mayor's urging, the team was 'very soon' at the foot of the Essex Mountains.

The performance of the next group of farmers really opened Li Zijun's eyes. They took off the ropes from their bodies and threw them at Essex.

With the help of these ropes, the farmers cooperated with each other, and they actually made it to Essex!

The Essex Mountains are on the side of the Aojin Empire. It is indeed slightly calmer than that of the Fengqi Empire. The group of villagers also chose a relatively steep place. But even so, in Li Zijun's heart, this is still very difficult for ordinary people. He really didn't expect that this group of ordinary looking farmers could no longer be ordinary would finally finally climb Essex, which was intimidating many warriors, and he couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart.

"Ed Gongzi, I wonder if I can ask you to help take care of these villagers, although we are very good at mountaineering. But it's Essex after all, if something goes wrong. It's probably gone!I'm really worried!" Shortly after the start of the climb, Rogge came to Li Zijun's side and pleaded with him.

Just now, Rogge saw that when everyone else was hurrying away, Li Zijun was extremely leisurely in the team alone, and the others were out of breath after walking for most of the day, but Li Zijun's face did not change color and his heart did not beat, and this half-day journey seemed to be nothing at all!

There are few people with such skills in Rogge's memory, and he can't help but place greater hopes on Li Zijun.

"Uncle Rogge, don't be polite to me, I will definitely do my best!" Rogge's request was what Li Zijun had been doing, and he agreed to Rogge without care.

Who is this Ed? Li Zijun's relaxed answer aroused Rogge's curiosity more and more, he looked at the back of Li Zijun turning away, and couldn't help but secretly guess Li Zijun's intention of appearing here again:

Could he be a master sent by His Majesty the Emperor to protect the two princes?

"Rogge, what are you thinking? This is the Essex Mountains, you don't want to die?!" Hope, the leader of the town's officials, couldn't help but put his finger on his back and reminded him when he saw Rogge's frowning and contemplative.

"So it's you?!"

"Isn't it me, who else would be so kind to remind you?!" Hope and Rogge were very familiar, and their conversation was more casual.

"Who the hell are you bringing that kid? If I'm not mistaken, none of us here are his opponents!"

"You can't do it either?"

"It's far away! I don't deserve to lift shoes for others these two times, let alone submit it! When did you make friends with such a master, and you didn't introduce me to each other?"

"No, I don't think Ed is twenty years old at most, how can he have such strength?"

"Dongyu can produce a sword saint who is less than twenty years old, why can't we produce a high-level martial artist who is less than twenty years old?!"

"Ed, another admirer of Edryde!" Hope couldn't help but smile wryly and shook his head when he heard Li Zijun's 'name'.

"I also just met him, and I don't know anything other than his name, but I don't think he has any ill will towards us!"

"I hope so!" Hope so," Hope frowned, apparently thinking of something again.

"What, do you have any other worries about Ed?"

"You're mistaken, I'm worried about our operation!"

"You also saw it, do you think it is possible for us to rescue the two princes?"

"I was about to ask you, how did the prince get besieged by wild beasts, and in the Essex mountains, there were not many wild beasts, and they seldom gathered together. Even if there was a siege because of revenge, it should be the same beast, but how did I hear that the two princes were besieging different beasts, and this is the first time I've heard of this situation in Essex, so it seems a little strange here?"

"It's not just weird, there's weirdness in it at all! Ever since the Fengqi Empire attacked us, I felt that nothing was wrong!"

"With such a large build-up of troops in the Fengqi Empire, we actually had to wait until they hit the doorstep before we reacted! ”

"That's not all, we made a lot of mistakes in the next defensive battle, causing us to retreat!"

"If it weren't for the fact that the Grand Duke of Edlaide of the Dongyu Empire suddenly succeeded in sneaking up on Ogden, which greatly restrained the forces of Fengqi, I am afraid that an entire province would have to be surrendered!"

"Dude, this is not your or mine's dining table, be cautious in your words and deeds!" Rogge heard Hope's voice getting louder and louder, and he hurriedly stepped forward and reminded in a low voice.

"What are you afraid of, it's not certain that you and I will be able to go back alive this time!" Hope said, but his voice had already dropped.

"The country has reached this point, and the two princes are going to do such a ridiculous thing, hey!" Hope sighed deeply as he didn't know whether he was lamenting the fate of the country or worrying about his own action.

"That's our life, stop whining, let's go!" Rogge saw Hope get more and more excited, and he was about to end the conversation between the two.

"Wait!" Hope grabbed Rogge and looked around warily.

"Brother, let me tell you, I don't believe that the beasts of Essex will besiege the two princes for no reason, there must be some trickery in this that we don't know!"

"What?" Rogge was startled by Hope's statement, and he unconsciously exclaimed.

"Don't make a fuss, listen to me first!" Hope squeezed Rogge and glanced around coldly, frightening the eyes of the others before he continued the conversation in a low voice.

"If I guessed correctly, this time we came out to die nine times, especially me, the person in charge of the operation, there is basically no chance of survival. You and I are brothers after all, there is something I want to ask you?"

"Big brother, your skills are far above me, if you can't go back, how can I escape from my brother?!"

"You can't, of course, but as long as he's willing to help, I'll guarantee that getting out of Essex alive will not be a problem!" Hope said, glancing at Li Zijun with his eyes.

"It can be seen that this kid has a good impression of you, in times of crisis, as long as you obey his arrangement, you should be able to save the day!"

"Is he so strong?" Rogge couldn't help but have a little doubt in his heart when he saw Hope's evaluation of Li Zijun getting higher and higher.

"You just said: he came out of the Essex Mountains alone! Over the years, how many people have you seen who have been able to enter Essex by himself like him? How many people have been able to get out of Essex unharmed even if they get lost?"

"That kid is not a merciless person at first glance, as long as you follow him, he will not die for you!"

"Big brother, then us"

"I'm different from you! I'm the commander of this team, and if I leave so many people and run back alone, not to mention the others, I can't forgive myself!" Hope said to Rogge, who raised his hand to stop him. (To be continued......)
