Chapter 378: Suspicion
"It's been a long time since I've eaten so comfortably!" Li Zijun put down the dishes, let out a long breath, and smiled at Barrett.
"Grand Duke, you have suffered during this time!" Barrett looked at Li Zijun, his eyes slightly reddened.
"I'm not as strict as you think, I just haven't eaten much lately!"
"Shall I tell them to prepare some more?"
"Enough, enough!" Li Zijun smiled and waved his hand, and at the same time, he stood up from his chair.
"I came back this time just to worry that Princess Gladys would embarrass you because of my business, and now I am relieved to see that you are all fine!"
"By the way, I will say goodbye to you today, and we will see you in Firano City!"
"Are you leaving?" Seeing that Li Zijun was about to leave, Barrett couldn't help but step forward and ask.
"At this time, Toscano is in danger, I can't stay here longer! If you have the chance, you should also leave as much as possible, and the rest will wait for us to return to Dongyu. ”
"Is there anything else I can do for you?"
Hearing Barrett's words, Li Zijun stopped, and he hesitated for a while:
"Can you lend me some money?"
"How much do you want?"
"10,000 gold coins! I found a way out of the city, but the amount asked by the other party is a little higher, and I don't have enough money, can you help me make it up?"
"No problem! It's just that I don't have that much on my hands right now, can you give me some time, I promise to get you 10,000 gold coins in three days!"
"Within three days?" Li Zijun said to himself. He thought about it for a moment, and finally nodded to Barrett with satisfaction.
"It should be in time! just it won't cause you any trouble, right?"
"Don't worry, I have some savings on hand over the years. Plus those old subordinates of mine, it's never a problem to get you 10,000 gold coins!"
"Don't force it. And don't get anybody else's attention! If someone asks why you're borrowing money?"
"I said that I was going to ask someone to transfer me back to Dongyu, and this money was the cost of my trust!"
"Okay, then we'll make a decision. Three days later, at this hour, I came here to withdraw the money. Take care!" Li Zijun shook Barrett's hand with some excitement, pushed open the window and disappeared into the misty night.
"Can Laurie's upper body move?" Gladys was still having breakfast when the spy in charge of monitoring the 'twin wolves' sent in.
"He's been being treated these days, and there are some things that don't work very well, so it's worth bothering me for this little thing?"
"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, when the guys cleaned up the room for the two masters last night, Master Laurie couldn't even move his fingers. But this morning, he can already sit and eat!"
"Two days before his injury didn't get any better, but after only one night he had seen that change. We all felt that his recovery speed was a little unusual. ”
"Also, last night Harvey didn't ask the guy to bring hot water to the room to bathe Laurie, as is customary. ”
"Combining these two suspicions, we all suspect that they may have left the hotel at one time!"
"Have you left the hotel, recovered quickly, and said your conclusion!" Gladys also somewhat understood what the man in front of him meant.
"I've heard that high-level mages are able to limit the movement of their targets with some kind of magic!Grand Duke Edlaide is not only a sword master, he is also a very good mage, do you think he did something to Master Laurie?"
"This stinky boy just doesn't use magic, and he also has a way to make you unable to move!" Gladys smiled and nodded as he thought of his guess about Harvey and Li Zijun that day.
"Continue to closely monitor Harvey's movements. Just don't have any positive contact with him. Gladys gave him a few words of advice, and waved the agent to step down.
No sooner had the agent left than another secret letter arrived in front of Gladys.
"Can't you wait until I'm done with breakfast?" said Gladys, but she put down the cutlery she had just picked up.
Read this secret letter carefully. Gladys had no interest in eating anymore and ordered all the food on the table to be served.
Gladys sat quietly at the table for a while, then suddenly let out a cold snort. Then he walked out of the restaurant in a murderous manner.
Before dawn, Li Zijun secretly returned to the Cult of Light. He didn't see anyone again, and went straight back to his room for pranayama.
In the afternoon. Li Zijun, who was seriously injured, originally wanted to go to see Armstrong first and listen to some of his opinions. Unexpectedly, the archmage had something to do and would not return until the evening, so Li Zijun had to come to Curtis and Walter's room first.
"Little Prince, your legs are fine, right?" Li Zijun handed over the antidote to Curtis a few days ago, but seeing that Hua De still seemed to be a little weak today, he couldn't help but ask with concern.
"It's alright, it's alright! Thank you for your concern!" said Walder, who seemed reluctant to lift his legs to Li Zijun, and his answer was a little flickering.
"It's okay!" Hua De's strange expression made the suspicion in Li Zijun's heart even thicker, but Hua De didn't want to say it, and he didn't want to chase after him on this issue, so he took the initiative to change the topic.
"Do you know this person Maddis?"
"Archduke, you're talking about that ugly-looking fellow?" Before Curtis could speak, Ward preemptively said.
"It should be him!" Li Zijun nodded to him with a smile when he heard Huade's description.
"It's been a few years since this guy was recruited to his mother's side, and he is highly valued by his mother, and the best guards in the palace are responsible for keeping him safe!"
"Probably because of his appearance, he is very low-key, and many people in the palace don't even know his existence!"
"It is said that he is a master of mixed drugs, but I don't know much about his level! I only know that this guy will secretly leave the palace for a while every once in a while, but where he went, except for 'mother', few people know!"
"What is the relationship between him and Lilian?" asked Li Zijun with some curiosity.
"Lillian is an orphan girl adopted by her 'mother', but I don't know when she started calling Madish 'stepfather'. ”
"I see!" Hearing this, Li Zijun finally understood where Lilian's understanding of insect venom came from. It's ridiculous that he supported Lilian at the beginning, but now it seems that this qiē is just to deceive him.
"If I'm not mistaken, this Madish is the one who caused the eldest brother and eighth brother to be poisoned!" As an enemy, Curtis knew Gladys better than Walder.
"What? is him? How is this possible?" said Walder, looking at Curtis in disbelief.
"Nothing is impossible!Gladys had already planned this, but we fools were kept in the dark!"
"If it was really him who killed my father, I would definitely break him into pieces!"
"It's a bit of an exaggeration to smash the corpse, it's easy to screw out his head!" Li Zijun met Curtis and Ward's gaze and said his plan.
"Are you going to join forces with Harvey?he's not our enemy, how could he be willing to help us?"
"It's easy to say this!" Li Zijun smiled and told the two of them about the relationship between Harvey and the eldest prince Dongyu.
"Madish, this guy is terrible! getting rid of him has become a goal for Harvey and I to share, and sending the two of us out of town is the same wish of both of us, plus the ban I set for Laurie, Harvey really has too many reasons to unite with me!"
"So, we'll be able to get out of Toscano soon?!" said Walder, his voice trembling a little.
"As long as you are a qiē shun lì, I believe that in less than three days, you and Prince Curtis will be able to ride horses outside the city!"
"What about you?" Curtis asked with a frown as he caught the unusual taste of Li Zijun's words.
"If I don't heal Laurie, how can Harvey let me go? But rest assured, I'll leave soon after I've dealt with Laurie, but I can't go out of town to say goodbye to you. Li Zijun smiled at the two of them easily.
"But once the ban on Laurie is lifted, how can Harvey let you go again?! In his mind, your threat to Prince Dongyu may not be under Abraham!"
"Otherwise, let's send Huade out of the city first, and I'll stay and help you deal with Harvey!" Curtis is not only the prince of Ziqing, he is also a saint-rank martial artist of Ziqing, and he has the dignity of a saint-rank martial artist, he can't allow himself to leave his comrades like this!
"Thank you, but you don't really need to! As you can see, Harvey can't help me at all. If you stay, it won't actually do much for me, on the contrary, it may cause me unnecessary trouble because the goal has become bigger!"
"Walter needs you more than I do! Leave with confidence, I promise we will see you again!"
Hearing Li Zijun mention Ward, Curtis hesitated, he turned his head to look at his nephew, and sighed deeply.
As long as my uncle and nephew are alive, they will never forget your great kindness to us and to the Ziqing Empire! Please accept my uncle and nephew's bow!" Curtis pulled Hua De and bowed to Li Zijun.
"Two princes, you are so polite!" Li Zijun hurriedly leaned over and helped the two up.
After the three of them sat down again, Curtis and Walter both gave their own ideas and ideas for the sneak attack and getting rid of Madis, which also made Li Zijun's plan more complete and feasible. (To be continued......)
