Chapter Seventy-Six: We're in Trouble
"Elder Darcy, Uncle Mario was not only plotted by someone, he was also poisoned! The poison was not yet at the time of attack, but due to the sudden deterioration of Uncle Mario's health, the poison was triggered to attack early, which is another reason why Uncle Mario could not be cured. Li Zijun looked at Darcy meaningfully.
"Since the other party has successfully poisoned him, Weishenme still wants to take the risk of using beauty to plot against Mario, right?" Darcy finally thought of another possibility, and he looked at Li Zijun in surprise.
"There must be one thing that he did!" Li Zijun lowered his voice and pointed in the direction of the side hall.
"What do you think would happen if I rashly told Mario the truth?"
"The city of Guayacan, and indeed the entire Tibetan Empire, will fall into chaos!" replied Darcy instinctively, his face already turning to ashes.
"I don't care which of the three of them can ascend to the throne of the Tibetan Empire! I just don't want the city gate to catch fire and affect the pond fish. "Li Zijun doesn't have a good impression of the three shili of the Tibetan Empire, if it weren't for the relationship of the night elves, he wouldn't be too lazy to wade into this troubled water, and at this time, he just wants to protect himself.
"What are you going to do next?"
"Pretend to be confused to wake up Mario, take advantage of the brief calm in Guayacan City, and quickly leave here. Judging by Lawrence's attitude towards you, even if Zuihou wins, he probably won't be kind to you!I hope you can use this time to evacuate the Night Elves from Guayacan, or into the space you own. ”
Darcy's eyes became tangled when he heard Li Zijun's words, but it didn't take long for him to show a determined expression.
"I'm sorry! Master Hou, although I know that you are saying this for our own good, we can't give up protecting Lawrence Bixia just because he doesn't like us! We promised Lawrence's mother to ensure his safety at all costs until the day he turns his back on us! This is our promise, but also our oath! I hope you can understand us!"
In fact, with Li Zijun's understanding of the Night Elves, he had already guessed Darcy's answer. But being able to hear Darcy say these words with his own ears at this moment only added to his admiration for the noble qualities of the Night Elves.
"I admire the qualities of the Night Elves, but I still hope that you can transfer the unrelated people of the Night Elves out of Guayacán City, or into the space you own. ”
"Didn't Susan explain to you the characteristics of the dark space?" asked Darcy with a smile as he looked at Li Zijun.
"Is there anything strange in the dark space?"
"We can only stay in it for a month at most, and after a month we feel dizzy!
Darcy said this, and Li Zijun remembered the strange feeling in the dark night space at that time, it turned out that there was such a strange phenomenon there.
"Then your unrelated people must evacuate here as soon as possible! Whoever wins this struggle will be very dangerous! Just in case, I advise you to hurry up and arrange the withdrawal. ”
"After I protect you from the palace and wake up Uncle Mario, I will arrange this matter immediately!" Darcy understood that Li Zijun also had good intentions, and nodded in agreement with his suggestion.
"If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid you'll be bound by some other work, and you shouldn't have to accompany me out of the palace!"
“weishenme?”
"Lawrence is worried that I have discovered the poison in Uncle Mario's body, and he will never leave me alive!" Li Zijun smiled lightly, as if he was talking about someone else's business.
"Then I'd better stay by your side and protect you!" Darcy didn't want Li Zijun, a friend who sincerely helped him, because they were hurt.
"Don't! If it weren't for you, they would have sent out ordinary killers because they despised me, and I would have had an easier time dealing with them. But if you have more of you, I'm afraid that both of us will be in danger! Therefore, as long as you pretend that nothing has been discovered, you will be the greatest protection for me. ”
"Do I want to talk to Lawrence Bixia about the Fire Bandits?"
Even if Lawrence discovers Mario's plot at this time, he won't stop me from healing Mario. Balart is by no means a good type, if Lawrence really dares not let me save Mario, then Balart will immediately fall to Lev's side, which is definitely the last thing Lawrence wants to see. ”
And rescuing Mario at this time will have another advantage for Lawrence! That is, it will arouse Lev's suspicion, suspect that Lawrence and Mario have reached a real alliance of interests, and lead Lev to make a wrong judgment. ”
Even if Lev could really hold back, it would just be a return to the way it was before, with the trio continuing to maintain a delicate balance, both of which would be acceptable to Lawrence. ”
"Therefore, whether you say it or not, Lawrence will pretend not to know, but I suggest that you report to Lawrence about the Fire Bandits after I leave the palace. This will give him a reminder, and it will also make him pay more attention to the Night Elves and not do things that are too out of line!"
Darcy nodded yes,
"After Mario's affairs are over, I will arrange for someone to send you back to China. We still have some connections in the Zangbei Empire, and we should be able to guarantee your safe return to the Dongyu Empire!"
Li Zijun was about to thank Darcy when there was a sudden knock at the door, and they had to end the conversation and get up to open the door.
"Mr. George, Bixia is invited!" said a palace maid who saluted the two of them.
Li Zijun nodded to Darcy and walked out of the room behind the palace maid, walking towards Lawrence's side hall.
When the palace maid was about to walk around the corner, she suddenly tripped under her feet, and Li Zijun hurriedly rushed over to support the palace maid. But at this time, the palace maid secretly stuffed a strip of cloth into his hand.
Li Zijun was taken aback at the time! He was sure that he had never seen this palace maid, but she would behave like this? He wanted to step forward and ask for clarification, but at this time they had already entered the sight of the others, and he could only stuff the strips of cloth into his cuffs, suppressing the urge to ask.
The palace maid took Li Zijun to the door of the side hall, pushed open the door and made a gesture to invite in. At the same time that Li Zijun stepped in, the palace maid also turned around and left, and from beginning to end, she didn't look at Li Zijun again.
Li Zijun walked into the side hall only to find that only Lawrence was still standing in the entire side hall, and the others, including the palace maid and the chamberlain, were gone.
Although Li Zijun was extremely reluctant, he still took two steps forward and prepared to kneel down on one knee to salute Lawrence.
At this time, Lawrence suddenly showed great enthusiasm, and without waiting for Li Zijun to kneel on the ground, he immediately stepped forward to support him, and did not let Li Zijun kneel for him.
"Sir is a great hero of my Tibetan Empire, from now on, I don't need to make such a great gift when I meet me!" Lawrence said enthusiastically as he took Li Zijun's arm.
Li Zijun saw Lawrence's performance so devoted, which also made his eyes redden, and he made a gesture of gratitude.
"Bixia, the villain is terrified!" Li Zijun bowed his head and said.
Lawrence was very satisfied with Li Zijun's performance, smiled and continued:
"Sir, is there really nothing you can do to see Uncle Mario's condition?" Lawrence asked with concern.
It seems that his judgment is not wrong, the person who poisoned it is indeed Lawrence! The three shili of the Tibetan Empire seem to maintain balance on the surface, but in fact, they have already begun to secretly attack. Lawrence asked, because he was worried that he would find the poison in Mario's body, if all Mario's subordinates switched to Lev at this time, he, the emperor, would be in big trouble!
"Uncle Mario's health is not bad, otherwise he wouldn't have lasted so many days!It's just that his old man is too indulgent, and the villain has no way to do anything except make him sober up for a while!" Li Zijun sighed and said.
"Is it true that Uncle Huang only has a stroke and no other diseases?" asked Lawrence tentatively.
"Bixia, judging from the villain's many years of experience in practicing medicine, Uncle Mario does have some other problems!" Li Zijun said this, Lawrence was shocked, and his face became nervous.
"But these are all minor problems, not enough to endanger his life!" Seeing Lawrence's instantaneous expression, Li Zijun smiled secretly in his heart. But he didn't dare to ridicule Lawrence too much, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to get out of this side hall.
Li Zijun had already discovered that as soon as he walked in, although there was no one else in this side hall on the surface except for the two of them, in fact, there were at least three masters in this room! And Li Zijun suspected that among these three masters, I am afraid that there must be an existence of a holy order. It is precisely because of these three people that Li Zijun does not dare to be too presumptuous.
"Hey, Uncle Huang and I are the same father and son, as long as I can save his life, even if I let me give up half of the country, I am willing! Sir, you must try your best to help me heal Uncle Huang, I will definitely repay you well!" Although Lawrence said sincerely, Li Zijun saw a cold light in his eyes. In this scenario, Lawrence's acting skills are a little poor!
"The villain must do his best to prolong the time when the imperial uncle is sober!" Li Zijun said indiscriminately.
Next, Lawrence pulled Li Zijun to chat a few more words, and then passed the chamberlain in, ordering him to take Li Zijun back to Mario's palace to treat Mario's illness.
"What do you think of this person?" Li Zijun had just walked out of the side hall, and a person walked out behind the screen. Lawrence asked, looking at the man.
"Although this person seems to be very agile in his hands and feet, but looking at his thin appearance, his strength should not be very strong!" This person behaved naturally in front of Lawrence, and did not have the panic when facing Emperor Bixia.
"Do you think he has discovered the poison in Uncle Mario's body and just lied to us?"
"The poison I developed is usually difficult to detect, but this George's healing methods are so superb that it is hard to guarantee that he will not be aware of it!"
"In that case, it seems that he can't stay! When Mario wakes up, have someone kill him right away!"
"George is an old friend of the Night Elves, will Darcy be upset if we deal with him like this?"
"What about dissatisfaction, as long as I move to that old fellow of Lev this time and succeed in holding the power in my hands, I'll immediately start cleaning them up!" said the Night Elves, and Lawrence looked disgusted.
"Bixia, I advise you to think twice! Night Elves are not something to provoke casually. Darcy is only the second elder of the Night Elves, and I don't have any certainty about dealing with him, let alone the Great Elder who is far above him! Moreover, the Night Elves are well-known for their retribution, and if they knew that we were dealing with them, they would not give up! If so, even if you can completely control the Tibetan Empire, you will only have to live in fear every day. ”
"But I get annoyed by these Night Elves! I suspect that my bad luck was brought to me by these people, and I really don't want to see them again. ”
"If Bixia really doesn't like them, then just expel them from Guayacan City!"
"Okay, that's it, after this battle, if they can still live, I'll send them out of the Tibetan Empire!" Lawrence said this, but his tone was full of murder, and it seemed that he didn't want to let the Night Elves go at all.
"Is there any news from Edlaide? Is he really coming to Guayacan City?" Lawrence asked as he suddenly thought of it.
"I've already investigated the matter, the Marquis of Edlaide did appear in the city of Guayacan, the Bradley Sword Saint of the Monlin Empire and the Achill Sword Saint of the Tuhungarian Empire, and rushed to the hotel where he appeared for him, but nothing came of it. ”
"During this time, they have completely disappeared, maybe Edlaide has escaped from Guayacan City, and they are afraid that they have already chased after them!"
"It would be nice if we could catch that kid from Edlaide, so that we could use him to get some help from the Monlin Empire!" Lawrence said greedily.
"It is said that Bradley and Edlaide not only failed to catch him, but also fought him with him! The rumors may be a little untrue, but they are enough to show that Edlaide is difficult. Our main enemy is still Lev, especially at this time, and we don't need to make any extraneous trouble! We still don't want to dwell on the affairs of Edlaide. ”
"Looks like we have to let this kid go!" Lawrence sighed reluctantly.
As Li Zijun expected, Darcy was indeed left in the palace by Lawrence. Seeing that there were a few more Ouchi guards beside Li Zijun's carriage, Darcy understood everything! Lawrence would treat his friend like this, and Darcy felt more and more cold! Originally, he was still a little hesitant, but at this moment, he finally made up his mind and arranged for his subordinates to send an order to the headquarters, and all unrelated people and others quickly withdrew from Guayacan City.
Darcy even wanted to hide the matter of the Fire Bandits for a moment, but Zuihou he still walked out of the room and went to the side hall to ask to see Lawrence Bixia.
When Li Zijun and his chamberlain returned to the palace, Balat had already invited several of Mario's important cronies to his home, just waiting for Li Zijun to wake up Uncle Mario.
Almost at the same time that Li Zijun started to treat Mario, someone had already sent the news to Lev's mansion. After receiving this news, Lev's face immediately changed drastically, and he hurriedly ordered someone to invite Belinda to him.
"Didn't you say Mario would never wake up?" asked Lev as he looked nervously at Belinda.
"No one's way to bring Mario back to life!" Belinda said with great certainty, knowing her disciple's abilities. But she didn't know Weishenme, and just as she was saying this, she suddenly thought of Li Zijun. That's a guy who always works miracles, maybe he really has a way!
"Do you know who healed Mario?" Belinda asked, suddenly turning to Lev.
"It seems that someone brought by the Night Elves, it happened so suddenly that I can only give a rough idea. ”
Hearing Lev's explanation, Belinda's heart couldn't help but sink! She knew Li Zijun's relationship with the Night Elves very well, and the person who made the attack was probably really him. Her brain spun rapidly, hoping to find a remedy soon.
"Could this be a ploy used by Lawrence and Barart to stabilize us?" Lev thought of another possibility.
"They probably have sensed that we are about to launch, and are ready to use this method to stabilize us first, so that they can mobilize their troops to buy time!" said Lev, the more he felt that his judgment was correct.
Belinda looked at Lev's self-righteous appearance, and she hated it to the extreme! She was almost sure that Li Zijun had already helped the Night Elves, and her biggest worry was that Mario would really wake up!
If that accident happens, Belinda's elaborate Jihua is afraid that it will be completely frustrated! This Edlaide is really eventful, and the two sword masters behind him are chasing and killing, and they can't stop him from making trouble for himself! Belinda can't help but curse in her heart.
"Lord Wang, no matter what their intentions are, we still have to focus on observation! At the same time, speed up the speed of the team entering the city, and be ready to launch in advance!"
"What happened to Karl's Fire Bandits, and will they cooperate with us?"
"Although the conditions they put forward are very harsh, the good thing is that we have reached an agreement, and they have promised to cooperate with us when it comes to the matter!"
Lev and Belinda made several coping plans, and then went their separate ways to prepare.
At this time, Mario slowly woke up under the treatment of Li Zijun.
"Who are you?" asked Mario hoarsely as he looked at Li Zijun. Although he had been in a coma for many days, Mario didn't look particularly haggard because Li Zijun had left a breath of true qi in his body.
"Lord Wang, I am the doctor sent by Emperor Bixia to treat you, and your family and subordinates are waiting for you to wake up, so I will call them in. Li Zijun turned around and prepared to walk out.
"Wait, what should I call you?" Mario suddenly called out to Li Zijun.
"You can call me 'George'. ”
"George, what is wrong with me?"
"You are 'getting rid of the disease', also known as 'big discharge' or 'immediate stroke'. Li Zijun didn't expect that as soon as he said this, Mario's expression suddenly became extremely lonely.
"Lord Wang, can I go out and call the little Lord Wang Ye and them in now?" Li Zijun knew that Mario's time was running out, and he didn't want to delay him too much.
"The doctor is in such a hurry to call the others, don't I have too much time!" Mario was just sober, but his mind was still spinning very quickly.
"Lord Wang, let's not hide it, you still have three hours at most, I'm afraid you have to hurry!"
"I only have three hours left! Looks like I'm going to be good with Mr. Xiexie, or I'm afraid I'll be gone in my sleep. Mario said politely, but Li Zijun heard that he had killed him.
How can these people from the Tibetan royal family be unkind, and Li Zijun can't help but feel sad for the entire Tibetan Empire!
"As long as the prince can leave my life, I will thank the gods, and I don't dare to ask for any more rewards!" Li Zijun looked at Mario on the bed, and his tone was full of mockery.
"Who the hell are you?"
"A man who just woke you up!What, are you really going to waste the rest of your time on me?" Li Zijun said as he looked at Mario without humility or arrogance.
"Please sir call Bharat in for me, and the others tell them to wait a little longer!"
Li Zijun glanced at Mario contemptuously and walked out of the room. As soon as he arrived outside the house, a large crowd surrounded him.
"How's my father?" Balat asked in a low voice as he stood in front of Li Zijun.
"The prince has woken up, he wants to see you alone!" Barratt was slightly stunned and walked directly into Mario's hospital room.
"Princess, find someone to help me remember the time, every hour, I need to heal the prince again. Otherwise, I'm worried that the prince won't last long!" Li Zijun said solemnly to Princess Mario, and the princess hurriedly nodded yes.
Hearing Li Zijun's words, the Ouchi guard, who was about to make a move, had to stop temporarily.
The princess saw Li Zijun's tired face, and hurriedly asked her subordinates to take him to the next room to rest. In order to take care of Li Zijun, Susan also followed.
As soon as the servant walked out of the room, Li Zijun immediately swept away his tired face, and quickly took out the strip of cloth handed to him by the palace maid from his arms.
"Grace will take revenge!" There are only these four words on the note! Li Zijun fell into deep thought, who could be the one who warned him at this time?
"Master Hou, what's wrong?" Susan was a little nervous when she saw Li Zijun like this.
"Elder Susan, do you see those big inner guards outside the door? Don't you think their strength is a little too strong!" Li Zijun asked by burning the strip of cloth to ashes with magic, and then pointed at a few people outside through the window.
"Master Hou, what do you mean?"
"These few of them are here to deal with us, I'm afraid we're in trouble!" Li Zijun said with a smile on his face as he looked at Elder Susan.
"Master Hou, don't be kidding, what the hell is going on?" Susan said nervously.
