Chapter 502: Eagle City Guard
On the way back, Li Zijun listened to Bridget's report, he opened Marcas's secret letter with a little curiosity, and after only a few lines, his brow furrowed.
"Someone, immediately invite Master Diarra, Rogge and Hope to come, and say that I have something important to discuss!"
"It's going to be a while before they come over, so why don't you come and read this letter and talk about what you think?" Li Zijun handed the secret letter in his hand to Bridget after the herald left.
"Grand Duke, Your Highness has a special warning to me: this matter must not be known to superfluous people, you let me see, is it inappropriate?" Bridget thought of Marcas's command, and he took back the arm that had just been outstretched.
"Marcus has proved his trust in you by letting you carry the letter, and see, I think that's what His Highness Marcus meant. You should have the best understanding of the situation mentioned in His Highness's letter, and you can also give us some more pertinent advice after reading it. Li Zijun said, and gently placed the secret letter on Bridget's hand.
Li Zijun's move instantly set off a huge Poland in Bridget's heart, and if he said that this qiē was true, it meant that Bridget had completely won the trust of Marcas. With the current momentum of Marcas's development, it is self-evident what this means to Bridget! Bridget suddenly felt that the letter in his hand was heavier than a thousand pounds!
Seeing Bridge's change and understanding that he had fully grasped his hints, Li Zijun smiled and nodded at him.
Under the encouragement of Li Zijun's smile, Bridget finally mustered up the courage to open the secret letter, but before he could finish reading the superstition, he had already shown an extremely frightened expression:
"Grand Duke?"
"Don't be in a hurry to speak your judgment. Let's all be quiet for a while, and wait for the other three adults to read the letter. Let's discuss whether the situation mentioned in this secret letter could happen!" Li Zijun smiled and stopped Bridget, after which he closed his eyes.
Bridget was going to say something. But after seeing Li Zijun's plain expression, he swallowed back the words in his mouth again.
After a while, Diarra, Rogge, and Hope rushed over, and Li Zijun motioned for Bridget to give the secret letter to the three of them to circulate.
After reading the secret letter, although the three of them had different expressions, they all fell silent at the same time.
"Bridget, can you first introduce us to the situation in Eagle City, and then talk about your opinion on this letter from His Highness Marcas? Do you think there's a chance they're going to have a problem?"
"I know it's going to make you a little embarrassed to ask this question, but on behalf of the others, I assure you that not a single word of what you said today will be leaked!" Li Zijun waved his hand to make sure that no one other than the five of them would hear the conversation between them, and then he turned his gaze to Bridget.
"Eagle City may be called a 'city', but in reality, it's just a small level! Coupled with its own precipitous and abnormal, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it has always had an extremely special strategic position in our country!" After receiving Li Zijun's assurance, Bridget did not shirk and immediately began to introduce the situation of Eagle City to everyone.
"I think the reason why His Highness Marcus chose it as our base for fighting against the Fengqi Empire in the future. It's based on these properties!"
"Due to the special status of Eagle City, almost all of the main generals who were in charge of guarding it before were from the royal family. With that, Bridget casually glanced at Rogge and Hope.
"Until the last decade or so. This phenomenon has only changed slightly!, but even so, the main generals guarding Eagle City are all from those big families that the royal family absolutely trusts!"
"The same is true of General Said, the current commander of Eagle City. His maternal grandmother was none other than Princess Windona, who had just celebrated her 100th birthday. ”
"What is Said's ability?" Li Zijun suddenly interjected when he heard this.
"General Said" no matter what he said, Said is also Bridget's superior. Bridget couldn't help but hesitate.
"Saeed and I are friends, and I am more familiar with him than Bridget, so let me introduce you to his situation!" Diarra saw Bridget's embarrassment, and smiled and took Li Zijun's question.
"Said is extremely serious about himself and others, and many times, his requirements for things will give people the impression of being rigid and impersonal. ”
"But as long as you can get in touch with him sincerely, after a long time, you will find that he is definitely a friend worthy of your heart!"
Of course, before that, you have to first get his approval! His criterion for judging people is also very simple, that is, whether you can treat people with sincerity! As for your identity and status, it is not a problem with him. ”
"When it comes to his personal ability, he should be regarded as the best choice among the Aojin generals. The reason why he didn't go out with the army this time had nothing to do with his ability, it was entirely because of his physical problems. He had a strange disease, and whenever he stood for a long time, his face would be red, his heart would be hot, and his breathing would be accelerated. ”
He was supposed to go back to Beijing for treatment, but because it was the time to hire people, he took the initiative to ask to stay. ”
"In any way, I don't believe that Said's loyalty will be problematic, I think His Royal Highness Marcus is a little overhearted!" Diarra analyzed the Eagle City master Saeed for Li Zijun and others, and also gave his judgment that Marcus was suspicious.
"Brother, are you sure that Said is really sick?" Li Zijun heard Diarra give such a high evaluation of Said, hesitated slightly, and said his doubts.
"Sure! I have also personally examined Said, I am very sure of this, but I have not found out the cause!" Hearing Li Zijun's question, Diarra felt a little unhappy, but he still answered Li Zijun's question.
"Brother, you misunderstood, I don't suspect Syed, I suspect his illness!" Li Zijun quickly noticed Diarra's change, and waved his hand to him with a smile to explain.
"His illness?" For a moment, Diarra didn't understand what Li Zijun meant.
"Do you suspect that Said was poisoned?" asked Hope, who was next to him, with a changed face and a low voice.
Li Zijun gently tapped his forehead with his fingers, then closed his eyes and nodded slightly.
"So, do you think His Highness Marcas's suspicion is right?" Seeing Li Zijun's expression, Diarra couldn't help but get nervous.
"No, as far as I know, Saeed has a very high prestige in Eagle City, how could anyone dare to poison him?"
"I'm just guessing, I don't dare to say that General Said must have been poisoned, it's too early to make such a judgment, who can tell me about the other two guards of Eagle City. ”
"At the moment, Saeed is not in good health, I think he should choose one of his deputies to help him with his day-to-day work, and I would especially like to know about this person's situation!"
"We're just discussing it internally now, and if possible, I hope you can use your own judgment to speculate, which of the other two guards do you think is more likely to have a secret relationship with Feng Qi?" Li Zijun turned his gaze to Diarra again.
"If things haven't changed recently, it should be their second goalkeeper Usman who organizes the day-to-day work at Eagle City. ”
"Compared to Said, I don't think Usman is even more likely to have a problem, he is not only the son-in-law of the royal family, but also the rising military star of the Aojin Empire! If he betrays Aojin, it will be the biggest scandal in the empire!" Diarra smiled and shook his head, obviously he didn't believe that such a scandal would really happen.
"Eagle City is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger! I am now more and more interested in the third guard, but before you introduce the third guard, I want to ask one more question: Since Usman is so good, why didn't he go to the front with Marshal Conrad this time?"
Three years ago, Usman's wife passed away due to childbirth, which was definitely a huge and heavy blow to Usman! ”
"In this battle, Usman had offered to take the position of vanguard, but His Majesty the Emperor was worried that something would happen to him, so he politely refused his request. Diarra sighed.
"Is he the only wife he has?"
"Then he is no longer technically the son-in-law of the royal family now!" Li Zijun said with a little curiosity after receiving Diarra's affirmative answer.
"Having said that, as far as I know, he still enjoys the treatment of a member of the royal family, and in the past three years, it has never changed!"
"He didn't look for a wife again?" Li Zijun seemed to suddenly become a 'curious baby' at this moment, and continued to ask Diarra.
"No! He has been celibate for the past three years, which is another proof of the depth of his relationship with his wife!"
"I didn't expect him to be an amorous species!" Li Zijun's curiosity seemed to be finally satisfied, and he touched his nose slightly.
"Don't talk about him, can you introduce us to the third guard of Eagle City?"
"Speaking of the third guard, Rogge and General Hope are more familiar than me, so I think it's up to them to brief you on the situation. At Diarra's suggestion, Li Zijun and Bridget's eyes also turned to Rogge and Hope.
"Eagle City's third defender, Baturg, used to be my comrade-in-arms with Hope, and I say 'was' because Hope and I have cut ties with him after the incident of the previous years. Speaking of this, a trace of anger inadvertently flashed in Rogge's eyes. (To be continued......)
