Chapter 591: String-Pulling Puppets
"Wait, wait! Don't knock first! If you do this again, I really don't care about your business!" Even with fright, Li Zijun finally stopped Greg who was about to break his forehead.
"Isn't it that you have a family, my eldest brother, and they have been taken prisoner? It's nothing! Send the Buddha to the west, and I will ask my eldest brother to find your family out of the captives and let you take them home with you!"
"Marshal, that's not what I meant! I don't have any family in the army at the moment. In order to get closer to each other, Greg changed his name for Li Zijun.
"'No family in the army!' General Greg, what do you mean? You're fooling me!"
"Okay, you stand up first, let's talk slowly!" Li Zijun motioned for Greg to get up, and asked Catherine and Shamantha to help him up from the stretcher.
"Marshal, you know all the foolish things I have done, they are all unforgivable sins! Although you are magnanimous and let go of the small ones, but on the other side of your majesty, he is afraid, I am afraid" Greg said as he paid attention to Li Zijun's expression, he saw Li Zijun's brows furrowing more and more, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and instantly forgot all the words he had prepared outside the church door!
"Treason, felony, cut the grass and eradicate the roots! People always have to pay the price for what they have done, you are really confused this time!"
"When you were in Ogden, you seemed to have told me that you had a baby son who should be able to walk by now, right?"
"So, if you don't want to take him into exile, I can take him in and keep this little bloodline for you!"
"Others. You can do it yourself!" Speaking of this, Li Zijun sighed softly. He turned his head and waved his arm at Greg.
"Marshal, no! I deserve it, and I deserve it. But my old mother and infant son are innocent! Save me for their sake?" Greg was frightened by Li Zijun's 'send-off' gesture, and shook off Stutta, who was about to pull him away, and he leaned down again in front of Li Zijun's stretcher.
"General Greg, I also understand that you are confused for a moment. But you also said that you committed a crime of treason, such a crime, don't say that I, even Prime Minister Alec and those princes in the court, His Royal Highness, don't dare to talk casually!" Li Zijun shook his head with a wry smile, and at the same time, White and Stuta took Greg's arm again.
"Wait, wait!" At the moment of being pulled up by White and Stuttar, Greg, who felt cornered, finally made a decision.
"Marshal, will you allow me to come and talk?"
"Why did the general say this, come and sit here!" Li Zijun patted the place next to him without hesitation.
If Li Zijun still has any impression of the General Greg in front of him. That's 'timid as a mouse'! How could Li Zijun take this guy who would tremble when he looked at him casually.
And having such a grasp also gave Li Zijun more room to perform, and showed his generosity and tolerance to Greg!
Greg didn't know that Li Zijun had classified him as a 'coward' in his heart, and he thought that this was Li Zijun's expression of his old love.
For a moment, Greg was so moved that he completely forgot about the idea of 'keeping a hand', or maybe he didn't dare to have such a thought in his subconscious. Respectfully came to Li Zijun's side, and Greg said all the information he had in his hands!
"Marshal, do you see?" Greg was confident in the secret in his heart. He thought that after Li Zijun heard his story, even if he was not ecstatic, he would be anxious! He never expected that Li Zijun would be expressionless at this moment.
"That's all?"
Greg heard obvious disapproval in Li Zijun's tone, as if the qiē in his mouth was no longer a 'secret' to Li Zijun!
Greg, who fantasized about making meritorious contributions to this crime and offsetting the merits at worst, suddenly ran out of ideas:
"Don't dare to deceive the marshal. The little one knows everything to you!" said this, Greg unconsciously paused slightly, as if he suddenly remembered something.
casually glanced at Stutta and Felton, who read their secret words and dragged White away. Li Zijun closed his eyes slowly, and now he had time to wait for Greg to recall.
"The little one also heard a rumor about Archmage Baker. It's just that this matter shouldn't have anything to do with the eldest prince's side!" Greg knew very well where he was at the moment, and he carefully lowered his voice.
"It doesn't matter to you to decide! In the end, it needs to be decided!"
Greg looked around carefully again, and then he said a very 'peachy' old news in Li Zijun's ear!
"And this?really, fake?" This time Li Zijun couldn't hold back, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of gloating smiles.
"It's absolutely true!" Greg finally saw Li Zijun's smile, and while he was secretly relieved in his heart, he assured Li Zijun that he was in the sky.
"Alright, alright! I believe in you, if you want to think of anything similar and interesting in the future, you must remember to share it with me as soon as possible!"
"Yes, yes, definitely, definitely! The little general has told you everything he knows, you see?"
"I understand what you mean, but I really can't give you any guarantee at this time! I still have to wait for His Majesty to decide! But please rest assured, I will relay what you told me to His Majesty as it is. I myself will try my best to get you out of danger!As for your official position," Li Zijun suddenly deliberately lengthened his voice, and at the same time, a trace of greed flashed inadvertently in his eyes.
"If you can save the life of this little dog, the little one will be grateful, where can you dare to have the luxury of keeping your official position?!"
"I know that the Grand Duke is rich and rivals the country, and nothing can easily enter your eyes. The little one also has a batch of Mithril hidden in his house, and if you don't dislike it, the little one will send someone to send it to you when he goes back!"
"A batch?" Li Zijun originally planned to boost Greg's confidence in the form of blackmail, but he never expected that he would 'knock' out the precious metal of Mithril here in Greg, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"Actually, it's not much, it's only a dozen kilograms!" Li Zijun was already Greg's last hope, and in order to ensure that Li Zijun was impressed, Greg bet on his entire collection.
"How can you have so much Mithril?" Hearing that Greg actually had more than a dozen kilograms of Mithril in his hand, Li Zijun couldn't help but be moved!
Mithril is no more difficult and complicated than other minerals, and it is extremely difficult and complicated to collect and purify, so far, there has not been a single Mithril mine in the Youlan Continent with an output of more than 100 kilograms, and the barren ones are only a few kilograms!
The ultra-low yield of Mithril Mine is in stark contrast to the high demand for mages and warriors. Even if someone gets their hands on Mithril, they rarely actually trade it, which keeps Mithril in a state of no market!
More than a dozen kilograms of Mithril may sound like nothing, but if it is really put on the market, Li Zijun firmly believes that he can buy a Firano City! It is precisely for this reason that he has such a reaction.
"I'll tell you the truth, in fact, this matter has something to do with you!" Greg looked at Li Zijun, and suddenly showed an embarrassed expression.
"What does me?" Hearing Greg say this, Li Zijun was confused all of a sudden.
"You have one of Beron's men, right?"
"He's also General Bob's brother-in-law!"
"You're from his original territory, no, I remember that territory was jointly supervised by the eldest prince and the ninth prince!"
"I'm so stupid!" As soon as the words came out, Li Zijun suddenly understood the reason, and he slapped his forehead heavily.
"How can the old cat sleep with salted fish on his pillow?!Is it that the eldest prince and the ninth prince have reached an agreement on joint mining? No wonder the eldest prince will let go of Belon in the end, it turns out that this is the reason!" Remembering that he thought that the eldest prince and the ninth prince had let Beron go only for the sake of his face, Li Zijun couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Although you can be called a clever plan, but in this matter, you guessed wrong!"
"Oh, let's hear it!" Greg said, Li Zijun became more interested, and he hurriedly motioned for Greg to continue.
"The eldest prince and the ninth prince did send people to guard Beron's territory, but the eldest prince sent me on his side, and the ninth prince's side was General Monroe Jr. who took the initiative to undertake this task. ”
"Since Monroe is the eldest prince's person, then little Monroe will naturally be no exception! With him cooperating with you, you can 'do nonsense' there!"
"If my guess is correct, 'Peron was framed, and the Ninth Prince came to his aid,' this qiē is actually the eldest prince talking to himself, the purpose of which is to conceal the fact that Mithril has fallen into his hands!"
From this point of view, the assassination of His Majesty by the Ninth Prince this time may also have a lot to do with the eldest prince. Otherwise, how could he have mobilized such a team in such a timely manner?!"
"It's ridiculous that the ninth prince still thinks he is extremely smart, but I didn't expect that he actually became a marionette for so many years!
"I only know about Mithril, I really don't know anything else!" Hearing Li Zijun's analysis of the eldest prince, Greg was taken aback again, and he hurriedly waved his hand to Li Zijun to explain.
"Of course the eldest prince won't tell you such an important thing!I think if it weren't for the eldest prince who needed you to collect Mithril for him, his relationship with Monroe would have been kept secret from you! I believe you have nothing to do with the assassination of His Majesty!" Li Zijun saw Greg's panicked appearance, smiled and patted his arm, and gently comforted him. (To be continued......)
