Chapter 731: 'Leading'
"Now that Master Toto has already descended the mountain, it is likely that we will cause some unnecessary misunderstandings when we go to him again! If you really have the heart to compete for foot strength, why don't we aim for Master Toto himself, and the one who meets Master Toto first wins, how about it?" Li Zijun looked at Victor and half-truthfully proposed to him.
"I don't want to meet with Master Toto just yet!" Victor shook his head and vetoed Li Zijun's proposal.
"How about we target your camp?
"The prince said that he laughed! Why don't we take three hours as the limit, whoever takes the lead will decide the direction, and after three hours, the 'leader' wins?"
"That's kind of interesting! Who are we going to start with?"
"I came up with this idea, so naturally it would be fairer for the prince to start first!" Victor said, making a 'please' gesture to Li Zijun.
Li Zijun looked up at the sky:
"Then the king is disrespectful!" Li Zijun chose a direction and shot out with a 'Teng' sound.
Victor looked at Li Zijun's back and smiled, and followed closely behind.
It took Victor less than ten minutes to overtake Li Zijun, and he maintained his leading position until three hours later!
However, although Victor has been ahead for so long, he has never really thrown off Li Zijun, who has always been less than a meter behind him!
"Gao Ming! This king is willing to bow down!" Three hours later, the two returned to the place where they had left first, and Li Zijun handsomely admitted his 'defeat'.
"Thank you for your advice, farewell!" Victor looked at Li Zijun carefully. Turn your head and walk away.
"Who the hell is winning and losing?" said Victor had just left when Van Lundin and Baldwin ran out of the camp. Fan Lunding asked Li Zijun head-on.
"He didn't lose, I didn't win!"
"Young master, if you lose, you lose. We won't laugh at you, so don't play word games with us here!"
"He didn't win, and I didn't lose!" Li Zijun glanced at Baldwin disdainfully, and raised his voice a little.
"You're saying you 'fought' to a tie?"
"This game is just a trial, and no one on either side of us takes such a result to heart! Relatively speaking, we pay more attention to the process of this contest!" Speaking of this, Li Zijun sighed softly:
"If he hadn't been Victor of the Dark Moon Cult, or if I hadn't been Edlaide of the Dongyu Empire, maybe we could have made a good pair of good friends, but now," Li Zijun smiled bitterly, shook his head and closed his mouth.
"Shall we tonight?"
"We're going to have a good rest tonight. Recharge your batteries and welcome Master Toto tomorrow!"
"Yes"
"Lao Bai, you don't have to worry, Victor is a character no matter what he says, since he has made a promise to me head-on, he will not break his promise and get fat! Everyone is tired these days, let them all go and rest!" With that, Li Zijun patted Van Lundin and Patrick on the shoulder, and then he walked into the camp.
"Young master!" Baldwin seemed to say something, but Van Lunding stopped him in time:
"Ed is tired these days, so let's make it easy for him tonight! It's unlikely that there will be any movement for the time being, and it's enough for the two of us to guard it!"
Listening to Van Lunding's words, Padwin pondered for a while, and finally nodded in agreement with his proposal!
Let's not talk about how to divide the labor on the side of Van Lunding and Padwin. While they were talking, Li Zijun came outside his own tent.
Li Zijun had planned to go back to the tent and sleep peacefully as Fan Lunding said, but at this moment there was a person standing outside his tent. Disrupted his plans again.
"Lord Abner, why are you here, is there anything wrong?" he saw Abner lingering outside his tent. Li Zijun sighed secretly and took the initiative to greet him.
"I've seen the prince!" Abner walked a few steps and came to Li Zijun. He bowed to him and bowed deeply.
"Your Excellency, you are too polite!" Li Zijun picked up Abner and pulled him into his tent.
"Sit, if you have anything to say, sit down and say!" Li Zijun took out two futons from the tent, one handed to Abner, and the other was placed at his feet and sat down.
Seeing this, Abner hesitated for a moment, and then sat down as well:
"Young Master, not long ago, I got news that His Majesty Luther of Turkish-Hungarian recently unexpectedly obtained a treasure!"
"Do you know what it is?" Hearing that Abner actually disturbed himself because of such a trivial matter, Li Zijun felt a little unhappy in his heart, but on the surface, he still maintained his previous peace.
"It's like a 'tangram'!"
"'Tangram'?'The 'Tangram' left by Christopher the Great?Are you sure?" Hearing the name of 'Tangram', Li Zijun's exhaustion was swept away, and the dissatisfaction of being disturbed disappeared in an instant, and the whole person became much more energetic.
"It's hard to tell if the 'tangram' is real or fake! Even if I see it with my own eyes, I'm not sure it's real or fake!" Abner paused slightly, looked at Li Zijun and shook his head helplessly.
"What else did you get besides?"
"According to my tip, it seems that His Majesty Luther is intent on using this as a bargaining chip to trade with others. ”
"Trading with someone?" Li Zijun muttered to himself, and a woman's name appeared in his mind like lightning - Gladys!
Could it be that we are complicating things? Gladys may really be helping Luther just for the 'jigsaw puzzle'!
No! No! As soon as this idea arose, Li Zijun denied his speculation.
Gladys was a master of 'no rabbit and no eagle', and she would not have helped Luther so much until she was sure of the authenticity of the 'tangram'!
It's just that the 'tangram' in Luther's hand is real or fake? Li Zijun fell into deep thought.
"Lord Wang, won't you ask me about my sources?" Abner hesitated for a long time opposite Li Zijun, and finally couldn't help but say the question in his heart.
"I also know a little about adults, and when you think you should let me know, you will naturally let me know, I don't need to be so anxious!" Li Zijun was stunned for a moment, and shook his head at Abner with a smile.
"Actually, it was a bit of a chance to get this news this time, on the one hand, the person we planted next to His Majesty Luther happened to be by His Majesty's side at the time, and on the other hand, it was also because he was low-key and never tried to get close to any faction, and there were not many people available around Luther, so he was fortunate to come into contact with this news!" Li Zijun didn't ask didn't mean that Abner didn't say anything, he respectfully explained the source of this news to Li Zijun.
"I didn't expect you to put eyeliner next to His Majesty Luther, that's good!" Li Zijun certainly understood Abner's true intention of saying this to him today, he didn't say anything, just looked at Abner and nodded with a smile.
"To be exact, not only His Majesty Luther, but also many important figures in the Turks and Hungary have our eyeliner around them, but there are not many who are so powerful!" Speaking of this, Abner took out a roster from his arms and handed it to Li Zijun:
"This records the true identities of these eyeliners, as well as their respective contact information, and asks the prince to send someone to get in touch with them as soon as possible and take them over!"
"Why should I take them over, are you going to leave?" Li Zijun didn't reach out to take the roster, he just glanced at it casually, and then turned his gaze to Abner's face again.
"No, no! I just don't think I'm fit to manage them anymore, so"
"So you're going to 'throw off the baggage' and hand them all over to me?" Li Zijun said as he shook his head at Abner with a wry smile.
"If the adults are tired of the border life and are ready to go back to Beijing to enjoy leisure, I can help you think of a way;
"The old man is a cheap bone, and he has long been accustomed to life here. I'm afraid I'm not used to it!" Abner was not a fool, he knew very well where his value was, and he hurriedly shook his head at Li Zijun.
"In that case, why do you want to hand over to me the intelligence network you have carefully 'weaved'?
"But I am"
"Don't mention the past, the most important thing for us is to grasp the present!" Li Zijun raised his hand to stop Abner.
"But you also have to start cultivating your heir, after the 'Demon Gate is reopened', if we are all still alive, I am ready to transfer the Lord to Wimbledon City to serve, please don't refuse!"
"Let the prince command!" Listening to Li Zijun's words, Abner couldn't help but feel a mess in his heart. But he immediately realized the cold light that flashed in Li Zijun's eyes, and he hurriedly got up and gave it up.
"As for the Turk-Huns, you only need to take overall responsibility, and you can leave the specific affairs to the 'heir of your choice'. Got it?"
After hearing Li Zijun's special emphasis on the words 'your heir', Abner's heart hanging in the air finally slowly 'fell'.
But just as Abner felt that his heart was about to fall back into its original place, he suddenly woke up:
"Lord Wang, you better arrange another person, right? There is really no suitable candidate around me!"
"As far as I know, there are two sons under your knees besides Moira, can they?"
"Hey!" Hearing Li Zijun mention his two sons, Abner didn't wait to speak, and first sighed deeply:
"I won't tell you the truth, it's okay for the two lowly sons to carry cages and frame birds, and cause trouble, and the rest? (To be continued......)
