Chapter 64: Look the Other Way
"Anyway, you immediately report the situation here to your master. Greg has been delaying his time to get to Qatar, and I suspect he's sensed something, let your master try it, can you figure it out on her side?" Meredith said with a gloomy face.
waited until Meredith and Mei Mi's conversation came to an end, and then Li Zijun quietly withdrew to his room.
By eavesdropping on their conversation, Li Zijun can now basically determine that the culprit of the massacre of the Morton tribe is what they call General Greg, and they must be brewing a coup d'état that will turn the Tibetan Empire upside down! But Li Zijun doesn't care about this, he is not used to thinking about things that are beyond his control, he only hopes to find out as soon as possible when Greg will join Meredith, and whether he can successfully kill Greg to avenge Morton!
While Li Zijun stayed in the small town of Qatar and waited for Greg, Greg's report had been sent to the desk of the emperor's uncle.
"This is the report that Greg has just delivered, and he says that two men have defeated and killed all three hundred of his hussars by fighting head-on!Will our Jihua be discovered by Mario or Lawrence, is this a warning they have given us?" asked Lev with some concern, and then he handed the letter that Greg had sent back quickly to the woman next to him.
If Li Zijun was also here, he would definitely be surprised to see the woman in front of him! This woman was Belinda, who had been hiding behind the Nine Princes.
Belinda, as the representative of the Dark Moon God Cult this time, was ordered to rush to the Tibetan Empire to assist the Tibetan Emperor Uncle Lev to stage a coup d'état!
Belinda had already received the news from Memmy, but she took the letter from Lev as if nothing had happened, read it intently three times, and then thoughtfully handed it back to Lev.
"Lord Wang, if my guess is correct, the man who attacked Greg's men should have nothing to do with our enemies! I guess he just happened to have something to do with the exterminated tribe, so he killed Greg's men!"
"That man! Do you think it's a man who attacked Greg's men, is your guess a little too bizarre!" said Lev, with a look of disbelief.
"You see, Greg reported that one of those two people had extremely terrifying sword skills, and almost all of Greg's subordinates were lethal with a sword, while the other person was a magician at least the level of a great magician. In the Tibetan Empire, I haven't heard of a person who can cultivate to this level of demonic martial arts!"
"Of course he doesn't belong to the Tibetan Empire, he comes from the Dongyu Empire! Originally, I only suspected that he had entered the Tibetan Empire, but now I can already be sure that he is near Qatar. ”
"You're not going to talk about the Marquis of Edlaide in the Dongyu Empire, right? I heard that he is only a teenager, he really has that much strength?" Li Zijun has now become a prodigy in several northern empires, but Lev has never believed those rumors.
"I just got the news that Marquis Ed fought against the Monlin Sword Saint Bradley in the Warcraft Forest! Although Zuihou was seriously injured and defeated, this is enough to prove that he has the strength to defeat three hundred cavalry head-on!"
"But after that big fight, I think he must have been injured as well, and he wasn't too lightly injured. ”
"Could the rumors be wrong? Edlaide is only a teenager after all, how can he lose both sides with Bradley?"
"I have specifically observed Edlaide, you must not simply use his age to estimate his ability!" Belinda thought of the loss at the hands of Li Zijun back then, and couldn't help but remind Lev again.
"What do you think he's going to do next? Will he spoil our jihua?" Lev had to be vigilant when he saw Belinda's serious look.
"From what I know about him, this kid will be revenge! Once he knows the truth, he will definitely not let General Greg go easily. My guess is that he probably made it to the town of Qatar, where he was recuperating and waiting for General Greg. ”
"Greg is the key to our jihua, I must not let him have an accident!Is there any way you can inform him of this situation and let him be careful of Edlaide's sneak attack. Lev was finally a little anxious at this point.
"I'll get the word to Qatar right away, but I've heard that General Greg hasn't been in Qatar and our people don't know if they'll be able to find him in time and secure him. In case Edlaide discovers his whereabouts in advance, our people can't do anything!" Belinda looked at Lev with deep meaning, she was already dissatisfied with this imperial uncle who wanted to borrow Liliang from the Dark Moon God Sect, but didn't want to pay any price, and this time she could take advantage of Edlaide's appearance to warn her husband not to be too naïve.
"Can you help me send a warrant to Qatar? Now that you have determined that Edlaide is there, I will order Qatar to be completely locked down. When the time comes, as long as he catches Edlaide, he won't be able to hurt Greg. In fact, Greg had been following Lev's orders and wandering around the town of Qatar. This is because Lev doesn't want Greg to have too much contact with the people of the Cult of the Dark Moon, and he is always wary of the Cult.
"Lord, I advise you not to give such an order! Regardless of whether you can really catch Edlaide by doing this, it's just that your actions are very easy to attract the attention of others, and I don't approve of you doing this!"
"As soon as Emperor Lawrence and Uncle Mario sensed the tensions in Qatar, they immediately stepped up their guard against us. All our previous preparations and jihua are likely to fall short, everything in the capital will get out of control, and it is unknown whether you can save the current situation at that time!" Belinda's face became more and more ugly, and she was ready to beat the self-righteous imperial uncle.
"And Edlaide is extremely alert and fickle, Boyle and Julie of the Turk-Hungarian Empire used hundreds of thousands of troops, three sword masters and hundreds of swordsmen and more than 100,000 masters in power, and Zuihou still let him escape from the Turk-Hungarian Empire. With the strength you have now, do you think you can do better than the two you just did?"
"With Edlaide's wisdom, he may well have noticed what we are doing in Qatar, do you think he will remain there and wait for your encirclement? As far as I know, he has a good relationship with both the Cult of Light and the Night Elves, which side do you think he will choose to side with?" Belinda smiled sarcastically.
"Shall I just sit idly by while he assassinates my general?" Lev was also a little angry.
"Lord Wang, if we are still suspicious of each other at this time, there is no point in continuing to cooperate!" Belinda said-for-tat.
"And what do you think I should do?" Lev hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed.
"You can immediately send someone over and remind General Greg that he has only one person against him, one who looks very young! Edred is only a teenager this year, and no matter how much he wears makeup, it is difficult for him to completely hide his real age. ”
"According to the news, when Edlaide left the Warcraft Forest, he took a six-tailed demon fox with him, although this Warcraft can transform into its own image, it will still appear as other animals. This is also one of the signs of Edlaide, and it is important to remind Greg to be careful of young people with animals!" Belinda's tone was full of teasing.
"Is there time to come?"
"That's only up to General Greg's luck! Edred's man is full of tricks and tricks. As long as he knows Greg's whereabouts, General Greg, who doesn't know anything about Edlaide, can only rely on the protection of the gods!"
"But I still hope that the prince will pick out the backup to replace Greg as soon as possible, otherwise when Jihua enters the execution stage, I am worried that the prince will be in a hurry!"
"That's enough! Could it be that the Darkmoon God Cult sent you here to sneer at me?"
"Lord Wang, you have always been careful and vigilant against my Dark Moon God Sect during this time, and the things you promised us have not moved for a long time! Why do we have to help you seize the throne of the Tibetan Empire?"
"I don't believe that such a child as Edlaide can still pierce the heavens to this king?"
"Yule, the famous marshal of the Monlin Empire, and Boyle, the wise general of the Turk-Hungarian Empire, they didn't believe it at first. But you can see the results of them, and none of them is a failure!" Belinda stared at Lev without giving an inch.
Hearing the names of these two men, Lev was completely discouraged! Both Yule and Boyle had caused him to suffer great losses, and although Lev had always been resentful, he would never dare to claim that he was better than them. Belinda is also aware of Lev's past, and she mentions these two people mercilessly, just to break down Lev's mental defenses. As it turned out, she succeeded!
"I promised you that I would do what the Darkmoon Cult did! Now you can tell me how I can save Greg, right?" Lev said stiffly, but Belinda clearly saw cowardice in his eyes, which also reminded her of the Edred who gave her a headache!
The next thing is simple, Lev gives Greg's contact information, and Belinda promises to do her best to keep Greg safe. It's just that when she said this, she showed a smile that Lev couldn't detect, and this smile seemed to have doomed Greg's fate.
Mei Mi was shocked to receive the news that Belinda had delivered through the Kingfisher! she was not surprised that Belinda had given the order to assassinate Greg, the matter had already been decided when she was separated from Belinda!
From the first day of cooperation with the Cult of the Dark Moon God, Lev was not prepared to hand over Greg's troops to Meredith as agreed! He ordered Greg to delay the arrival of Qatar to minimize the possibility of Meredith mastering the troops.
And Belinda had guessed Lev's approach before, and when she set off for Meme, she had given Memi the order to find an opportunity to kill Greg.
Mei Mi's surprise was that she got the news of Edlaide's appearance, and her immediate reaction was almost the thought of the person 'Zijun'. Mei Mi discovers that apart from the fact that there are no animals around her, 'Zijun' has many similar traits to Edlaide himself.
It's just that due to Belinda's order to get rid of Greg, Meimi had to focus on dealing with Greg and temporarily relaxed her surveillance of Li Zijun.
At the same time, convoys carrying tribute rice from all over the country began to enter Qatari towns. Li Zijun noticed that the grain delivery team quickly left the Qatari town, but the grain carriers had already been replaced.
While Li Zijun was speculating about the fate of these grain carriers, he overheard the quarrel between Meredith and Mei Mi.
"Father, only by getting rid of all those herdsmen can we ensure the absolute safety of our Jihua! We are all shouldering the mission of the Divine Cult, and we must not make the slightest mistake!" Mei Mi tried to keep her voice low, but Li Zijun could already hear the irrepressible anger in her tone.
"Do you know what you're talking about? That's hundreds of lives! They're not cattle and sheep! they're just like us! I really doubt you're still my daughter!" Meredith snorted as he pointed his finger at Meme.
"What if you lock them up like this, do you think they're going to thank you? they're going to hate you for making them lose their freedom. If one of them escapes, our operation will be completely ruined. When the time comes, can we afford to take such a big responsibility for destroying the Divine Sect's march into the Tibetan Empire?"
"I don't need them to understand me, I just let my heart be at peace! The purpose of the Cult is to let people live an equal and happy life, not to deprive other people of their lives! If Jihua fails this time due to me, I am willing to take all the responsibility!"
"Father, you must know that they are not believers in our Cult of God!"
"Memi, if you understand the doctrine this way, I can tell you unequivocally that you are wrong! We are all equal before God, and there is no distinction between believers and believers! Don't say any more, I will be responsible for the affairs of Qatar. I've made a decision that I'm solely responsible for any problems that arise in the future!"
"You're making a big mistake by doing this!" Memy couldn't hold back her urge anymore, and slammed open Meredith's door and left with a grunt.
Li Zijun was still worried that Meredith and Mei Mi would hurt those herdsmen, but now he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Before this, Li Zijun had a little bit of a good impression of the Dark Moon God Sect, but he didn't expect that there was still a character like Meredith in the Dark Moon God Sect, and his opinion on the Dark Moon God Sect had also changed a little.
Greg had already received orders from Lev, but he still never showed up, he did not understand that the prince Weishenme had changed his previous decision, and he was a little hesitant.
But as the grain transport teams set off on the road, Greg, the grain officer, finally couldn't sit still. And he found that Meredith and Memi hadn't changed much of his previous arrangement, and he thought that Lev had reached a new agreement with the Darkmoon Cult, and he quietly entered the town of Qatar.
But Greg didn't expect that as soon as he stepped into Qatar, his situation had already been reported to Meredith and Memi.
Meredith and Memmy did not have any disagreement about their attitude towards Greg, and when they heard their long-awaited goal appear, the two immediately formed a united front, and a large net quietly covered Greg.
Greg has always been wary of Meredith and Memmie, and he rented a small apartment here before they arrived in Qatar Town. After entering Qatar, he did not contact Meredith or Memey, but sent a message to his deputy, Leonard. He hoped to find out about the Cult of the Dark Moon in Qatar from Leonard's mouth.
But Greg waited until it was dark and didn't see Leonard, he felt something was wrong, and was about to leave with the guards. But at this time, there was a knock on the door, and this knock was also the code of Greg and Leonard.
But Greg just felt that something was wrong, and he motioned for one of his men to go over and open the door, and he hid in the corner of the gate.
The subordinate cautiously opened the door and saw that it was Leonard standing outside the door, a relaxed smile on his face. He was about to turn back and explain the situation to Greg when Leonard suddenly stabbed a dagger into his chest.
"General, quick" Before Greg's subordinate could say the word 'go', he was kicked aside by Leonard, and then the great swordsman who always followed Meredith quickly rushed into the small courtyard and went straight to Greg to kill him.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Greg fully understood his situation, and he quickly retreated, not entangled with the great swordsman. At this time, Greg's guards also reacted, and they all stood between Greg and the great swordsman, trying to buy Greg as much time to escape as possible.
Greg's guards were carefully selected by him from the troops, although they were not masters, but they were all experienced in actual combat and cooperated tacitly, and they actually temporarily blocked the attack of the great sword master.
However, Greg didn't have time to pay attention to what was behind him at the moment, and he quickly ran towards the back door. Greg arranged for ten guards outside the back door to disguise themselves as ordinary people, and also prepared two war horses. Greg firmly believes that as long as he can escape Qatar, he is extremely familiar with the geography around him, and he will never be overtaken by others.
But Greg didn't expect Memmy to suddenly appear at the back door, holding a sword in his hand to block his way.
Greg smiled secretly in his heart, when Mei Mi just arrived in Qatar, he had a relationship with Mei Mi, he had a certain understanding of this woman, he didn't believe that Mei Mi could stop him at all, he raised the sword in his hand and prepared to break through Mei Mi's defense.
But I don't know Weishenme, Greg suddenly felt himself in a trance, as if the earth suddenly rotated, and he couldn't stand on his feet at all.
"General Greg, do you really think your guards are monolithic?" said Memi with a smile as she looked at Greg.
Greg suddenly remembered that one of his subordinates had just handed him a glass of water, and that there must be something wrong with that glass, and his face became extremely ugly.
"What do you want to do with me?" asked Greg, barely standing still.
"It's not that I want to do to you, but what does the Marquis of Edrede do to you?" Memy smiled even brighter when she saw Greg like this.
"Edlaide, the Marquis of the Dongyu Empire, what does he have to do with me?" Greg didn't understand the meaning of Mei Mi's words for a while due to the effect of the drug.
"You don't know it yet! The man against your three hundred hussars is Edlaide. The prince has already asked me to tell you, haven't you heard?"
"Oh, it's me! I forgot about it. Mei Mi said with a teasing look at Greg, who was shaking more and more.
"The prince will definitely know what you have done to me, and he will not let you go!"
"It was Edred who followed you here for revenge and killed you, what does it have to do with us!" said Meemi, quickly slicing Greg's trachea with her sword.
Greg didn't die immediately, he was desperately breathing, but no matter how hard he tried, there was no longer a trace of oxygen entering his body.
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the front yard. Originally, Greg's eyes were full of hatred, but when he heard this scream, he actually showed a happy smile, and this smile was also fixed on his face.
Mei Mi didn't notice anything at first, but when she saw the smile on Greg's face, she suddenly thought of something and immediately ran to the front yard.
At this time, the battle in the front yard was basically over, and only the great swordsman chased out the door. Seeing that Leonard had collapsed in a pool of blood, Memi hurriedly ran over to check on Leonard's condition. But she was disappointed! Leonard had stopped breathing completely.
Although Greg has been killed, Leonard's unexpected death has made everything that Meimi did today meaningless! She originally wanted Leonard to take Gret's place and put Greg's team in the hands of the Darkmoon Cult. But now it seems that because of Leonard's murder, Mei Mi is empty this time! She also angrily chased out of the courtyard, and chased after the great sword master from a distance.
The black shadow running at the front was obviously injured, but it didn't seem to affect his running speed, and even the great swordsman was constantly being distanced by him.
Mei Mi saw the black shadow in Zuihou in a daze, as if it had rushed into the big car shop, and then lost his trace.
Li Zijun heard a noisy sound outside the cart shop, and then a dark shadow pushed the door and rushed into his room. Li Zijun was worried that this was Mei Mi's test of him again, so he stood stunned and didn't react.
The black shadow then put a sword on Li Zijun's neck, and Li Zijun only saw the deep scar under the person's ribs at this moment.
