Li Zijun knew very well Diarra's true intention of complimenting him like this, he smiled slightly, and lightly knocked the stirrup to speed up his march a little.

Seeing that Li Zijun was noncommittal to him, Diarra sighed secretly and followed helplessly.

"Are you really Dongwoo's Edlaide?Grand Duke Li?" Makas, who got the news and came out to greet him with Maher, looked at Li Zijun standing in front of him, and for a while, he didn't know what to say.

"Your Highness, I have fled here, there are really too many unspeakable secrets! I failed to reveal my identity to His Highness in time, please don't be surprised?" Li Zijun respectfully gave a military salute to Marcus and sincerely apologized to him.

"You've done us so much, I thank you it's too late, what's there to blame?!" Marcas said as he pulled Li Zijun's arm off his chest.

"That's good, that's good! So if the transaction between us can continue, then you must not forget the reward I deserve!" Hearing Marcas's words, Li Zijun seemed to let out a sigh of relief, and then his expression tensed again, and he deliberately lowered his voice.

Li Zijun's remarks seemed to make the air condense, and everyone around him couldn't help but look at him and shook his head with a wry smile. The atmosphere that was originally slightly depressed immediately became relaxed after this laugh.

"The most important thing in doing business is integrity! You concealed your identity at the beginning of our contract, and I have reason to suspect that you have the intention of 'cheating money and fleeing'. opened up the scruples in his heart, and Marcas also made a rare joke with Li Zijun.

"Can't you! Although I don't dare to say that my performance during this time is remarkable, it is definitely decent, right?! Immediately grabbed Marcus Dao.

"Really, as far as I know, you are the richest man in the Dongyu Empire. Do you also care about my little money?" Marcas felt that although Li Zijun's appearance at this time was exaggerated, it was not completely fake. He couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Hey, I can't go back to my home now, and I'm afraid I'll have to count on you to work for you to earn some living expenses in the future!" This is indeed Li Zijun's worry.

During this time, Li Zijun has been following the Aojin army and knows nothing about the situation in Dongyu. It's just that he knows one thing very well, his 'cheap sister' will never let him go lightly, she will definitely protest to the Dongyu Empire, protest against his 'participation' in the rebellion of the Ziqing Empire, and demand that he be severely punished!

In this way, Dongwoo's attitude on this matter has become crucial. If they really believe Gladys, taking back his title is the lightest punishment, and it is not impossible to kill him directly!

"I've also heard about you, and although Dongyu hasn't had a clear attitude so far, fortunately, they haven't denied what you've done. I think you'll get a fair deal, and you don't have to worry too much about it!" Marcus also had some understanding of Li Zijun's situation, and he gently patted Li Zijun's shoulder and comforted him.

"It's a blessing or a curse! It's useless to think about this matter too much, I'll just take one step at a time now! In case His Majesty Virgil really comes to send someone to arrest me. I'll just go back. It's just that you must give me my hard-earned money, maybe the money can be registered!"

"Alright, alright, if money can help you solve the problem, even if it makes me bankrupt, I'll help you! He deliberately patted his chest and reassured.

"But how do we solve this problem now?

"Aubrey will soon be leading a large army to catch up, and we must retreat into the mountains as soon as possible! This is our priority! Before coming, I have Rogge, Hope, Bridget, and the leaders gather their troops. As long as they're ready, we'll do it right away!"

"Also. Have you received the letter I sent to you?"

"Received, I follow your advice. Field Marshal Conrad was sent to report the situation here, but he had not yet received a reply from him! I think he was hesitant to withdraw from Boradin. ”

"Without seeing the Fengqi army with his own eyes, let him hand over the lost territory he just regained to others, this decision is not easy for anyone to make!" Thinking of the current situation, Marcas's face became solemn.

"If we can't defend according to the danger, we are afraid that our losses will be even greater, and no matter how difficult this decision is, Marshal Conrad will also make it!"

"After confirming the safety of the team, I hope that the two highnesses will lead some people to go first, and strive to meet Marshal Conrad as much as possible to help him make this decision!" As he spoke, Li Zijun turned his gaze to Maher, who had been silent standing next to him.

"Sixth brother, what do you think?"

"The younger brother completely obeys the arrangement of the fifth brother!" After this battle, Maher's confidence was greatly hit, and Charlotte's departure left a lingering shadow in his heart, he didn't dare to make any decisions lightly, he only knew that he was obedient to Marcus and Li Zijun.

Seeing Maher like this, Marcas didn't want to say anything, and he secretly sighed helplessly in his heart.

At this time, Rogge, Hope, Bridget and several leaders rushed over, and now they all knew Li Zijun's true identity, and they all focused their eyes on him, waiting for his new instructions.

Li Zijun was unexpected, and he looked at Marcas with a little embarrassment.

"Don't have so many scruples, at least for now, your relationship with everyone hasn't changed at all. Don't forget that I'm still your 'boss', and you must help me command the team until I can return to the capital safely! Otherwise, don't want 'wages'!" Marcas knew very well what Li Zijun was thinking, and he said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

Marcus said this in public, which is equivalent to once again confirming and emphasizing Li Zijun's command position in this team, which also avoids many unnecessary troubles for him.

In fact, Li Zijun was waiting for Marcus's confession, which was confirmed by Marcus, and he immediately announced the order:

"Alternate cover retreat into the mountains, return to Boladin the same way!"

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison, and immediately conveyed and executed Li Zijun's order.

By the time Aubrey arrived, the initial calm had been restored, and the Aojin army, led by Marcus and Li Zijun, had already retreated to the mountains by the same route.

Aubrey did not give up, followed the trail of Li Zijun and their departure until they reached the mountain pass, facing the narrow passage of 'one husband should be closed and ten thousand people cannot be opened', he hesitated for a long time, and finally pressed the impulse in his heart and gave up the idea of continuing to chase Li Zijun.

Not to mention how Aubrey's side had a headache to explain the gains and losses of the battle to Victor, it is only said that Marcus and Maher listened to Li Zijun's opinion and decided to return to the Boladin camp ahead of schedule.

It's just that before leaving, they made a request to Li Zijun:

"Ed, Maher and I both hope that you will come with us to Marshal Conrad. ”

"Ed, we say this not only because you know more about the situation of the Feng Qi Army than we do, but more importantly, you are the only one of us who has ever dealt with Victor!

"Fifth Brother and I both feel that introducing Victor to Marshal Conrad is just as important as introducing the situation of Feng Qijun!" "After this period of rest, Mahir's state seemed to have recovered a lot, and he spoke to Marcus on the side.

"To be honest, I was a little skeptical about the Grand Duke's military talents. But after observing these battles, I realized that the true strength of the Grand Duke is only far above the rumors!"

"My Highnesses and I both believe that as long as you are willing to advise Marshal Conrad, we will be able to repel Fengqi's invasion just around the corner!" Since learning Li Zijun's true identity, Diarra's attitude towards Li Zijun has almost taken a 180-degree turn. Every time there are some compliments, Li Zijun, who is used to being praised by the people around him, secretly blushes a little!

Thinking about this, no wonder his strength has been standing still for so many years! Blushing, Li Zijun couldn't help but secretly scream for Diarra's upside down of the cart.

"All of us here think that you are the best person to explain the situation to Marshal Conrad!How about it, can you help?" Marcus looked at Li Zijun with pleading eyes, eager for him to give an affirmative answer.

From the bottom of his heart, Li Zijun didn't want to meet Conrad too soon after revealing his identity. It's not just that he doesn't have a good impression of Conrad as a person, but he's more worried about Conrad's attitude towards him after learning his identity!

According to Li Zijun's understanding of Conrad, if Victor negotiated with Conrad on the condition of surrendering himself as a condition for retiring from the army, Conrad would not agree immediately, but he would definitely weigh it.

In case Conrad really agrees to Victor's conditions, Li Zijun's kindness will become 'self-defeating'!

It is precisely for this reason that Li Zijun is hesitant about this construction of Marcas.

"Grand Duke, please also ask for the sake of our Aojin Empire and the Dongyu Empire, as well as your brotherhood with the two Highnesses, temporarily put aside all your worries and help us?!" Hope, who was standing on the side, suddenly bowed to Li Zijun and pleaded.

Hawk's words immediately made Marcus and the others pause, and they finally understood why Li Zijun hesitated! (To be continued......)
