Chapter 350: Unstoppable
"Two more hours?!" Li Zijun's eyes widened violently when he heard this number.
After looking at Lilian straight for a while, Li Zijun finally sensed a different taste in her narrow smile and understood Gladys's true intentions. While smiling bitterly in his heart, Li Zijun also lost the urgency he had just now.
"Since it's going to take so long, Lilian, I'll get some delicious food for the young master. Young master, I'll eat here and wait!"
"Young Master, aren't you in a hurry?" Lilian saw the helpless expression on Li Zijun's face, and she couldn't help but tease.
"It's rare for the princess to be in this mood, even if I wait a little longer, it's nothing! When you go inside, tell the princess, I'm not in a hurry, it's okay to wait another hour or two!"
Li Zijun's side doesn't matter, but Ziqing made a special trip to greet Princess Gladys and these people, but they are a little sad at the moment!
Although it was late autumn at this time, since the Ziqing Empire was located in the southern part of the Youlan Continent, it was still a scorching sun.
Normally, most of these officials hide in the shade and don't feel anything, but this time they are standing in the sun without hindrance. Under the scorching sun, although they had subordinates beside them to fan the wind, they were all sweating.
Looking at the gazebo not far away, they all showed envious expressions.
It's just that they don't know that in fact, the few people in the pavilion don't feel much stronger than them at this moment!
"Second brother, didn't you say that you could arrive before ten o'clock, why didn't you see the shadow of the Dongyu Mission at this time? What does this Edlaide want to do?" He finally got a little impatient.
"This matter should have nothing to do with Edlaide, I think it was all intentional on the part of our sister-in-law!" Curtis's performance was too calm, and he said unhurriedly.
"Gladys, is she going to do this?" Walter stopped. Turning to Curtis, he asked.
"Could she be doing this specifically against me?" Walter's face couldn't help but change again.
"What nonsense?!, what does she have to target you!" Curtis said with a look in his eyes, very dissatisfied.
"Second brother, these are all our people in the pavilion at this moment, what do you have to worry about!"
"Okay, okay, I'm not talking nonsense!" Walter saw that Curtis was getting more and more upset, and he hurriedly ended the topic.
"People in their thirties, how can they say anything without thinking about it?!"
"Yes, yes, I'll change!" Walter assured Curtis with a smirk.
"Gladys is doing this against us, that's for sure!"
"But it doesn't have to be because of what you think!" Curtis explained with a smile as he saw Walter look nervous.
"She's always been at odds with you and me. When you hear that we are coming to greet her, you will think that we are going to see her jokes, and that she deliberately slowed down her trip, which is why she took revenge on us. But it's because she's done this, which proves in disguise that Gehry didn't betray you! Otherwise, do you think that with the depth of that woman from Gladys, she would still treat you and me like this?"
"If Gladys learns the truth, she will definitely pretend that nothing happened, so that she can paralyze us even more!"
"Oh. I see! You brought me to meet her today, just to see what she knew?" Walter heard Curtis's explanation, and it was only then that his restless mood calmed down.
"It's just that this woman is really hateful! I know that you are here, and she is still so unscrupulous. ”
"A dying man. Why should we bother with her?"
"And what are we? Isn't her cheap son there too!!" Curtis lifted his chin slightly, pointing in Walder's direction.
Walter was one of the first to greet Gladys. He arrived before dawn. He would have been entitled to enter the gazebo as well, but he did so as a show of respect for Gladys. He had been standing in the sun and waiting, and by this time the sweat had completely soaked his back!
"He's self-inflicted! With the shrewdness of Big Brother and Gladys. It's impossible not to think that he is the one who poisoned him directly!It's ridiculous that he is still dreaming of a smooth succession!" Walter glanced at Walter and whispered with the corners of his mouth pursed.
Curtis frowned when he heard Walter's words, but this time he didn't reprimand Walter, but stood up directly from his position.
"Second brother, who are you?" asked Walter with some puzzlement when he saw that Curtis seemed to be about to walk out of the pavilion.
"We're his own uncle, and if we don't do anything about him outside, what will the others think of us? I'll go and invite him in to rest. ”
"Didn't I already send several people over to invite him, what can I do if he doesn't appreciate it?"
"That's why we're going to go for ourselves!" Curtis smiled softly, and walked out of the gazebo around Walter to Walter.
"Huade, the eldest princess should have something delayed, she is only afraid that it will take a while to get here, you might as well drink a glass of water in the pavilion and rest for a while. I've already sent someone to the front to inquire about the situation, and when they send back the news, it's not too late for us to come out to greet them!"
"Second uncle, eighth uncle, I'd better wait!" Walter didn't go into the pavilion to enjoy the shade, on the one hand, to show his filial piety, and on the other hand, to draw a clear line with Curtis and Walter, so as to avoid being misunderstood that they were too close!
"What are you waiting for? Before the princess's convoy even saw a shadow, you were already embarrassed like this! By the time she appeared, you wouldn't have to faint from heat stroke!"
"Okay, everyone has seen your filial piety, no one will think that it is inappropriate for you to go into the pavilion to escape the heat on such a hot day! You don't want the princess to come back here and the first thing is to rescue you, right?
But today Gladys seemed to have a heart to embarrass Walder, and before Wald had just entered the gazebo and could sit down, Curtis's men sent to the front to inquire about the news ran back.
"Lord Wang, the eldest princess and the Dongyu Mission's car is less than five miles away!"
Hearing the report from his subordinates, Curtis, Walter and Walter looked at each other with a wry smile, turned around and walked out of the pavilion again.
The three of them looked into the distance, and soon, the Dongyu delegation appeared in everyone's sight from far and near.
Although Dongyu only sent 500 cavalry to accompany him to protect this time, because these cavalry were all from Dongyu's elite division, the forbidden army, they had always strictly maintained a uniform pace even in such a march.
Battle-hardened and capable, under the backdrop of a brand-new military uniform, he looks more energetic!
At the front of the group, a slightly thin teenager looked a bit maverick, he was the only one in the whole team who didn't have a new coat.
Not only have a few parts of the boy's clothes been torn, but there are also stains all over his body!
It's just that none of this can affect other people's senses of him, he is like a peerless sword, and no matter how ordinary the scabbard is, it can't stop him from exuding an indestructible cold aura from the inside out!
Curtis narrowed his eyes slightly as he shouted this name in his heart, as a sword master, he had a deeper understanding of Li Zijun.
On the outside, Li Zijun is very different from the team behind him; but in his bones, the temperament of the two is natural! The combination of the two of them will naturally exude a powerful aura of slaughter, and everyone who sees this team for the first time will unconsciously shudder.
At this moment, these welcoming officials of the Ziqing Empire seemed to have forgotten the scorching sun that was still overhead!
Li Zijun also seemed to see the greeting procession at this time, and while he was marching, he used sign language to direct the mission to reduce its speed.
Just when the Dongyu delegation was still forty or fifty meters away from the second prince and the others, Li Zijun suddenly waved the treasure knife in his hand, and the Dongyu delegation stopped abruptly without making any sound!
Seeing this scene, the Ziqing officials turned pale with shock one by one, and they all knew very well that no army in Ziqing could reach such a level!
Unlike the frightened officials of Ziqing, Dongyu's resident officials in Ziqing showed smug expressions one by one, and they walked towards Li Zijun together under the leadership of Felix and Barrett.
Before everyone came closer, Li Zijun had already put away the big knife, turned over and jumped off the war horse. After a few simple and polite words from his family, Li Zijun walked towards the princes Curtis, under the guidance of Felix.
As Li Zijun kept getting closer, the Ziqing officials saw his instrument more clearly, and couldn't help but secretly give them a thumbs up!
Compared to these people, Curtis sees more in Li Zijun!
In the process of traveling, Li Zijun has been constantly changing his attitude, stride length and speed in response to Curtis's flaws.
Curtis was able to cope with it at first, but when Li Zijun stepped into his 10-meter range, he gradually felt that he couldn't handle it!
Curtis has evaluated Li Zijun's strength countless times, and he believes that Li Zijun is only slightly better than him at best. But he never expected that Li Zijun's martial arts skills were far above him, and a strong sense of powerlessness suddenly rose in his heart! Curtis unconsciously raised his left foot, and in the face of Li Zijun's oppression, he had to retreat to protect himself.
At this moment, Curtis suddenly felt his lower back being gently lifted, stopping his tendency to retreat.
At the same time, Curtis felt the pressure on his body suddenly lighten, and Li Zijun had already shifted his target to another person. (To be continued......)
