"Grand Duke Charity, you don't have to worry too much about security! Regardless of your personal identity, just because you are the guest that the fifth brother and I invited back, ordinary people will not dare to have the slightest disrespect for you!" Maher's words seemed to be enthusiastic, but in fact, they were a 'blank check'. Not only could Li Zijun not be given any guarantees, but he also hid an extremely sinister intention in it: The identity of the guest depends on the judgment of the host! The host is in a good mood, you are a guest, and once the host thinks that you have a problem, it will only be a matter of minutes for the 'knife and axeman' to rush into your bedroom!

Although Charlotte died at the hands of Diarra, in Maher's mind, Li Zijun was the real murderer who killed his lover!

Showing favor to Li Zijun is just to unite with Marcus and thus maintain his position. In his heart, Li Zijun has long been Maher's most hated enemy, and with his city, it is difficult for him to keep this emotion hidden. Inadvertently, his 'inner monologue' was fully displayed in front of Li Zijun.

No one here is a fool!—They all quickly realized what Maher meant by saying this. Seeing Maher treat his 'life-saving benefactor' like this, everyone was chilled, and they all began to secretly 'stay away' from him!

Diarra didn't expect Maher to say such a thing, and for a while, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

Since Maher can't let go of Charlotte's death, it means that Diarra is also his enemy!

Diarra personally got rid of Charlotte to prove his innocence, but he didn't expect that he would end up with such a result!

I remembered that I had given up Marcus and chosen Maher. And today, the positive Maher is blinded by hatred, and the chaotic Marcus has suddenly emerged, and Diarra is cold. I regret it even more. It is for this reason that Diarra is at this moment. It was rare to choose to remain silent.

"Ed, if you agree, from now on, we will eat at the same table and sleep together, and whoever wants to take you away from me has only one way: step over my corpse!" Marcas pondered for a while, and solemnly assured Li Zijun.

Hearing Marcus say this, Li Zijun smiled slightly, stretched out his arm and shook Marcas tightly.

After making a decision. Li Zijun briefly explained the military affairs to Rogge, Hope, and Bridget, and embarked on the road back to Boladin with Marcas, Maher, and Diarra, under the protection of Yulaia's elite hundred-man team.

Everyone slept in the open on the road, and in order to see Conrad as much as possible, they often did not see the sun at both ends, not to mention the hard work.

Fortunately, apart from the hard work, they did not encounter any other troubles, and after several days of traveling. On this day, they finally returned to Bolatin.

Looking at the Aojin military camp not far away, everyone's eyes showed unconcealable joy, except for Li Zijun. At this time, he actually frowned and showed a worried look.

"Ed, what's wrong?" thought of the worst. Marcas's face couldn't help but change drastically.

"Don't worry, the barracks are still in our hands at the moment!" Markas' nervousness was detected. Li Zijun hurriedly smiled and waved his hand to him.

"Although we started later than Victor, his side is a large corps operation after all. The speed of the march could not match that of our small army, and with the fact that we had taken a shortcut, we must have reached Boladin before him!"

"The situation inside and outside our barracks also proves my judgment, and there is basically no change in the qiē here!"

"Since it's normal, why do you put on that 'hateful' expression, which makes me worry in vain!" Marcus let out a long breath when he heard Li Zijun's explanation, and then glanced at Li Zijun and joked.

"I said that basically no change does not mean that it is normal!"

"You're talking about increased vigilance inside and outside the camp?!" Marcas noticed something different in the camp.

"Don't forget Linton, whom I sent back earlier, and when he receives the news that he has sent back, Marshal Conrad will react somewhat, whether or not he will listen to our advice. There's nothing out of the ordinary!"

"There's nothing wrong with heightened vigilance, but it's not so simple for everyone to be in danger! Do you think the news that Marshal Conrad might have brought Linton back has made the whole camp know?! If I'm right, something big must have happened in the barracks!"

"Forget it, let's not speculate here, everything will be clear once we enter the camp!" Marcas turned and urged the team to pick up speed again.

The general in charge of guarding the camp gate was no stranger to Marcus and Maher, and when he saw them returning, he immediately opened the camp gate and took the initiative to greet them.

"Your Highnesses, you're back!" the general walked quickly over to Marcus and Maher, and immediately fell to one knee, his eyes turning red.

"Good acting!" Li Zijun didn't expect to meet such an excellent 'acting school' here, and he couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up to this general in his heart.

"Jacob, what happened during our absence, why do you all have such expressions?" Before Marcus could say anything, Maher suddenly took a half step ahead and questioned the 'acting school' general.

"Returning to Your Highness"

"Wait!" Jacob was about to brief the two Highnesses when Marcas suddenly spoke up to stop him.

"If there is anything to say, let's go into the camp!" Marcus took a half step forward, grabbed Jacob from the ground, and strode into the barracks.

Maher, who had now become extremely sensitive, was very unhappy that he had been interrupted, and glared at Maher viciously.

In the past, Diarra would always remind him inadvertently, but this time, Diarra just looked at him coldly, and lowered his head, without any intention of covering up for him!

Watching Diarra and Maher drift apart, Li Zijun couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart. Diarra is indeed a utilitarian person, but he is by no means incompetent, and there is no problem with loyalty. If Marcus can win this person into his camp and use it properly, it will definitely help him in the future!

During this period of time, based on Li Zijun's observation of Diarra, he judged that Diarra himself actually had such thoughts, but he lacked a suitable opportunity to leave Maher.

It seems that he is going to be a villain again! Li Zijun secretly sneered, and he already had a plan in his heart.

Under the guidance of Jacob, everyone had just entered the camp, and Simpson and the fourth prince, who had received the news, hurriedly greeted them.

Seeing their anxious expressions, Marcas fully believed Li Zijun's previous judgment: something big happened!

"Your Highness, you guys have had a smooth journey, right?" Simpson deliberately ignored Maher and turned his head to look at Marcas in concern.

"Dragging my father Emperor Hongfu, although there were some dangers during the period, but fortunately, in the end, General Ed and I finally rescued the sixth brother!" Marcus also saw Simpson's dissatisfaction with Maher, and in order to prevent Maher from being too embarrassed, he took the initiative to pull Maher behind him.

"Uncle, I'm back! I'm wrong, please punish me!"

"Just come back!" Simpson didn't seem to want to look at Maher more, but just responded casually, and then turned his gaze back to Marcus.

"This time, Your Highness has experienced a series of hard battles, we should have let Your Highness rest for a while, but the situation is really urgent, Your Highness, can you hold on for a while?"

Hearing Simpson say so politely, Marcus was naturally embarrassed to say 'no', and he smiled and nodded.

"Master Diarra, General Ed, can you accompany Your Highness to the Chinese Army's tent?

"Your Excellency, you're welcome!" What Simpson said was also what Li Zijun and Diarra wanted, and they would not refuse.

"Maher, if you have nothing to do, go and listen to it!" Simpson wanted to leave Maher here directly and humiliate him fiercely, but in the end, because of his status as a prince, he saved a trace of face for him.

"Uncle, I'm sorry! I'm a little tired, so I won't bother you!" Simpson didn't expect that Maher didn't accept his affection at all, and after coldly throwing down such a sentence, he turned away.

Diarra did have the heart to part ways with Maher, but it was not at this time that he wanted to stop Maher and advance and retreat with him. Suddenly, he felt a strong murderous aura coming straight towards him, and he didn't have time to think about it, and immediately put himself into the best defensive state.

Maher thought that Diarra would leave with him, but he didn't expect that he walked out more than ten meters away, and he didn't hear Diarra's footsteps, he couldn't help but feel angry, and turned his head to glare at Diarra fiercely.

Maher was indignant to see that Diarra was just staring motionless at his feet, seemingly completely ignoring his existence!

"Hmph!" Maher snorted coldly and walked away.

As Maher turned again, the murderous aura that was approaching Diarra disappeared without a trace.

"I am so disappointed that he cares so much about personal honor and disgrace when the country is in crisis!" Diarra was trying to call out to Maher, but Simpson's words choked back on the words that came to his lips.

"Master Diarra, let's go too!" Li Zijun gently pushed Diarra, who was still in a daze, and pointed to Marcus and Simpson, who were gradually moving away, and reminded him.

"Grand Duke, you have killed me miserably this time!" Diarra had already guessed the source of the invisible murderous aura just now, and he couldn't help but complain to Li Zijun in a low voice.

"My lord, you have already done your duty, don't you hear: good birds choose trees to perch!" Li Zijun responded to Diarra in a lower voice, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, then walked around him and strode forward. (To be continued......)
