Chapter 561: Old Spicy
After a cool breeze, Filton, who opened his eyes, found himself standing firmly in the courtyard.
"Got it this time!"
"Understood, understood!" Of course, Filton understood that this was Li Zijun's punishment for his little 'careful thinking', and he hurriedly nodded again and again.
"It's good to understand, let's do something!"
Hearing Li Zijun's command, Facton quickly raised his legs and hugged him forward as if he had received a holy decree. But after only two steps, Felton stopped and turned his head blankly:
"Those two doors open inward!"
Looking at Felton who was full of doubts and leaving, Li Zijun felt a sense of pride in his heart, but when he thought of the 'women's army' he was about to face, he couldn't help frowning.
"The ugly daughter-in-law will have to see her in-laws sooner or later! I'd better take the initiative to confess to them, hoping to get their understanding!" Li Zijun shook his head without confidence and walked out of the room.
What Li Zijun didn't expect was that after listening to his 'confession', the ladies did not oppose his decision as expected. They only made one request: take Catherine with them!
"Don't understand?"
"It's just that I don't understand, I'm completely confused!"
"Because you're lucky enough to meet the women who understand you best! They all want you to be happy and happy, and they don't want to be your bondage!"
"What do you see? I learned all these bad things from you!"
In the face of such an 'accusation' from his father-in-law, Li Zijun really didn't know what else he could do except smile bitterly and shake his head.
"Take York with you! You and I both know that his current position is not for him!"
"A qualified leader. At the very least, learn to find a suitable position for your loyal subordinate, rather than drive him away!
"Father-in-law. Teachable!" Li Zijun bowed deeply to Alec and accepted his opinion.
Early the next morning. Seven people in disguise, one car and five riders, embarked on the road back to Beijing.
Almost from the moment they hit the road, all kinds of news came in one after another, and some good people even claimed conclusively: His Majesty Virgil had died of his injuries, and the eldest prince (the sixth prince) was preparing to inherit the throne in the near future!
In the face of these rumors, Prime Minister Alec, who was old and serious, gradually became anxious, and Li Zijun, who obviously lacked a little calm, became more and more impatient.
Under the influence of the two of them, the others forgot that one of them was recovering from a major 'illness' and the other was still in the recovery period of injury, and kept speeding up their journey.
As they got closer and closer to the capital, the number of messages began to gradually decrease. But the thick smell of gunpowder in the air is getting stronger and stronger!
"Father-in-law, three days ago, a curfew began to be imposed in the capital!" Li Zijun said as he handed the accurate information in his hand to Alec.
"York, do you know anything about this?" Alec took the note, and after a quick glance, turned to look at York.
"What do you think about the curfew?" Alec asked what he thought after receiving an affirmative reply from York.
"The situation in Filano City is getting more and more tense!And thankfully, until now, the power is firmly in the hands of His Majesty Fergil!" York seemed to suddenly become much more sober.
"Go on!"
"We have not yet entered the jurisdiction of the capital, and even if we continue to hurry, we will definitely not have time to enter the city before the curfew today. ā
"Although you and the young master both have tokens in our hands that can open the city gate, I don't think we need to. At this time, provoke people's nerves that are already about to collapse to the extreme!"
"I'll build yƬ: Let's rest here for one night today, recuperate our spirits, and then rush to Beijing tomorrow morning!"
"What do you think, Ed?" asked Alec, looking meaningfully at Li Zijun.
"It's up to you!" Li Zijun looked at Alec with admiration. Nodded sincerely.
"Everyone has worked hard for so many days, so don't sleep in the wilderness today. I remember there was a small town a short distance east from here. Let's go there and rest tonight!"
Hearing Alec say this, the other six all showed worried expressions.
"Here we go. It is no longer possible for us to avoid the gaze of those who have a heart, so why don't we make our own accommodation more comfortable?" Alec said, patting Lyle on the shoulder, motioning for him to urge the carriage to turn around.
At this time, there was a lot of danger, and Lyle hesitated a little about Alec's order, until he saw Li Zijun nodding to him, and he raised the horsewhip in his hand.
York, at the signal of Li Zijun, immediately followed.
"Young Master, in fact, there is a small church of the Light God Sect not far from here, why don't we?"
"At this time, I can ask the Sect of Light for help, but my father-in-law can't!" Hearing the 'monkey's words, Li Zijun's eyes lit up at first, but then his eyes dimmed again.
"'Monkey', please pass on our situation here to Armstrong and Kaye, the two archmages, and ask them for help. ā
"Young Master, you're too polite, this is what I should do! It's just 'asking for help', isn't it?"
"I'm by no means nervous, believe me, this night will never be peaceful!"
"I'll do it right away!" Hearing Li Zijun say this, the 'monkey' stopped talking nonsense, and immediately turned the horse's head and galloped away.
"Catherine and Felton, gather all of our people, and no matter what, we must ensure the safety of our father-in-law tonight!"
"You know all about it?" said Catherine and Felton, both with surprised expressions.
"I'm wounded, not useless! If I didn't know that so many people were following me, I don't know how many times I would have died!"
"It's just that I'm curious, who are the twelve people behind us, except for the five masters of the Night Elves?"
"With their skills, I would never ignore their existence, but why don't I have any impression of them?!"
"They are all Mademoiselle Caroline's subordinates, and have hardly ever seen them in public before, and you really have never seen them. ā
"This time, Miss Caroline heard that you were going to be alone in danger, so she secretly transferred them to us, and said that each of them was absolutely trustworthy!" Filton hesitated for a moment, and stepped forward to tell the truth in Li Zijun's ear.
"Look?"
"Since the eldest sister thinks they can be trusted, it must be fine! let them and their friends from the Night Elves come over, it's easy to make mistakes by hiding at this time. Remind them that no matter what the cost, Prime Minister Alec must not be allowed to slip up the slightest tonight!"
"Yes, I'll go and set it up!" Felton, after getting permission from Li Zijun, turned his horse's head and ran in the direction they came.
"Ed, we're also worried about your safety by doing this!" Seeing Li Zijun's gaze turn to herself, Catherine's expression immediately became embarrassed.
"Then how are you going to compensate for my fragile and fragile heart?" Li Zijun understood the hard work of Catherine and the others, he naturally would not be angry with others for this, and he slowly leaned towards Catherine with a smile.
At the moment when Li Zijun's 'groping pig hand' was about to touch Catherine, the two suddenly changed their expressions, and then they galloped forward together.
"Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong!" Seeing that both Lyle and York drew their swords, the man who led the way to stop Alec's carriage hurriedly waved his hand.
"We are the family teacher of His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, and I am entrusted by His Royal Highness to welcome the Prime Minister into Beijing here. No malice!I just wonder if the Prime Minister is in the carriage at this moment?" said Hearst as he stepped into the front half of the carriage and respectfully walked towards the carriage.
"You are a tutor, what qualifications do you have to meet the Prime Minister?! Besides, we don't know any Prime Minister! Acquaintances hurry up and get out of the way, otherwise be careful that you will suffer from your flesh and skin!" Li Zijun, who was galloping over, couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Hearst, but then he had the idea of teasing this 'old friend' again, he changed his voice, and immediately turned into a evil slave.
Li Zijun had already disguised himself as a black-faced house slave who was nearly thirty years old at this time, and after deliberately changing his voice, it was difficult to distinguish his true identity with Hearst's eyesight.
"This little brother is very right, with my identity, I am indeed not qualified to be received by the Prime Minister! It's just that I represent His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince at the moment, so please speak with respect to my little brother!"
"As for the little brother who said, 'The prime minister is not in the car', this is really hard for people to agree with!"
"If the contemptible person is not mistaken, this should be Lord Lyle! This place, the contemptible person really can't think of anyone who is qualified to let Lord Lyle drive for him!" After a period of precipitation, Hearst seemed to have become much calmer, and Li Zijun didn't even find the slightest annoyance on his face.
"Before leaving Beijing last time, the old man had already submitted his resignation to His Majesty and obtained permission, and the old man is now just an ordinary nobleman, and he is no longer a 'prime minister'!" Hearst had already said this, and Alec could not continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, he spoke in the car:
"The old man is indeed a little tired from the bumpy road, and he doesn't want to see anyone again! If this Lord Hearst can get out of the way and allow the old man and his party to enter the town to rest, the old man will be grateful!"
"Don't dare, don't dare! Delaying the Prime Minister's rest is our abruptness!"
"Get out of the way and escort the Prime Minister into town!" Hearst said as he ordered his men to make way for Alec and Li Zijun. (To be continued......)
