Chapter 223: A good start
The person standing in front of Li Zijun at this moment is none other than Clifford's eldest son, Mo Lun.
After Clifford sent several of his nephews over, Li Zijun personally met and tested them. To his surprise, these people were actually high-level martial artists, and Mo Lun was even a master at the level of a great sword master!
In order to observe these people more quickly, Li Zijun kept them all and served as a guard for himself.
Seeing Mo Lun here at this time, Li Zijun remembered Clifford's strong request to enter Ogden again.
According to Li Zijun's original jihua, he was to represent Clifford to trade with Nancy, and serve as Ogden's internal agent. It's just that as soon as his idea was spoken, it was unanimously opposed by everyone, and everyone was inclined to Clifford to continue his previous role, and Van Lending directly found Clifford for this.
After Clifford learned about the situation, he found Li Zijun and took the initiative to ask for help, and his request was quickly approved under the impetus of everyone.
It's just that Li Zijun knows very well that entering Ogden this time can be described as a life and death, and he has always wanted to replace Clifford with his own men, but every time he was rejected by this stubborn old man.
For this reason, Li Zijun once arranged for his children and nephews to persuade Clifford, but to no avail. Seeing Mo Lun at this time, he couldn't help but ask again.
"The father was extremely stubborn, and we, the children, were rarely able to change his decision. This time he has already made up his mind, and it seems that this can only be the case!" Mo Lun also understood what it meant for his father to enter Ogden, and when he heard Li Zijun ask, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"If it really doesn't work, I'll cancel this deal! I believe there is no problem in defeating Ogden!" Li Zijun became more and more guilty when he saw Mo Lun's expression, and he said with some anger.
"Young Master, you must not!" Mo Lun knelt down in front of Li Zijun with a thud.
"If the transaction is really canceled. I'm afraid we will have to pay thousands more lives to regain Ogden! If something goes wrong, our father and son will become Dongwoo's sinners. Then we will have to live in repentance for the rest of our lives!"
"Young master, you must not change Jihua, I only ask to enter Ogden for my father!"
Li Zijun looked at Mo Lun on the ground, sighed deeply, didn't know what to say to comfort him, leaned over and pulled him up from the ground.
"May God bless me Dongyu!" Li Zijun patted Mo Lun on the shoulder, and his gaze turned to Ogden's direction again.
"General, Ulla, the princess of the Yaksa, has come to Ogden Pass with a dozen men and asked to pass through!" said a Captain Fengqi who took a half-step forward and placed a piece of black jade in front of Temples.
This piece of black jade is a token given by the Fengqi Empire to Kama, the head of Yaksa. Demps also knew something about this, and he took the jade to check the authenticity.
"Only a dozen people with her? Didn't there be nearly a thousand people when she escaped, how could there be only a dozen people left in just a few days? Where did the others go?" Demps asked with a frown when he heard Ulla suddenly appear in front of the gate.
"According to herself, the chase has been scattered all the way!"
"Are there pursuers behind her?"
"The subordinates also think it is strange about this, not only do they not have a single pursuer behind them, but I also got the news that Manteqiu, who was in charge of chasing them, has led the army back to Nogan City!"
"What about the Southern Legion?"
"The Southern Legion is the same as always, there are no visions!"
"Outside Ogden, it's calm at this time. Nothing out of the ordinary!"
"There's something strange here!" Demps was a little confused when he heard this, he didn't understand that Weishenme could be like this.
"General, are we going to allow them to enter the customs?"
"Pull Ulla in with a basket from outside the gate, as for the others. Wait a minute. Remember: be prepared! There must be no mess!" Demps pondered for a moment, and admonished the lieutenant in front of him.
"Yes!" the lieutenant turned and walked out.
After a few moments, the captain brought a veiled woman to the war room.
"Miss Ulla. It doesn't seem appropriate for you to meet us in this way?!" Without waiting for Demps to speak. Kim Cage, who had just been invited to this room, was the first to attack.
As the Juggernaut who assisted in the defense of Ogden, Kim held a high position. When he saw that 'Ula' was actually masked and appeared, a strong dissatisfaction immediately rose in his heart.
'Ulla' seemed to be terribly frightened, and Kim's questioning made her tremble.
"Returning to Lord Demps, I have not been disrespectful in this way, but I am afraid of frightening you!" 'Ulla' explained weakly.
"This is Master Temple, and I'm Kim Cage!" Kim was disdainful of Ulla's panic, and his words became flirtatious.
"I'm afraid of scaring us, are you ugly? I heard that Miss Ula is a rare beauty!"
Demps thought that Ula would be dissatisfied when he heard Kim's words, but what he didn't expect was that Ulla's eyes didn't know that Weishenme suddenly darkened.
"Since the two adults don't dislike it, then I'll take off the veil!" said 'Ulla' as he removed the veil from his face.
"Ahh
Since Demps had the same experience as 'Ula', he almost believed 'Ula''s identity when he saw 'Ula''s scars. Empathetic, he also felt a little resentful of Kim's rude performance!
However, Demps was still very curious about what happened to 'Ula' during this time, and he asked 'Ula' to sit down and tell what happened after the breakout.
"Mother led the army to desperately drag down the main force of Edlaide, and arranged for the most powerful 3,000 elites to escort me to break through. zuihou, although I have killed it, there are less than a thousand of the 3,000 elites left!" said 'Ula', with an extremely happy expression on his face.
"I would have liked to withdraw to the mountains and rely on the location to deal with Edlaide. But I didn't expect him to be so ruthless, not only blocking all the roads into the mountains, but also sending Manteqiu, who knew us very well, to lead a large cavalry to chase us down along the way. ”
"Mantejo, the old thing, has been following us almost day and night in order to show his merit to Edlaide, and has not even given us a breather. ”
Mantejou was about the same age as Demps, and when he heard him called 'old thing' by 'Ula', Demps couldn't help but cough dryly.
"Almost half of our people have died at the hands of this 'old thing'!" said 'Ulla' fiercely, as if she didn't seem to notice Demps' embarrassment.
"Then you should have four or five hundred more people, where have they gone?" Demps listened to 'Ula' for a while, but never mentioned how she had become a 'loner', and he couldn't help but ask.
"On the way here, I got separated from the group, and I don't know exactly where they are now!" 'Ula's eyes suddenly flickered.
The golden cicada is out of its shell! Demps understood everything at once!
'Ula', who was chased by Mantejou, must have found a 'girl' who looked similar to her to disguise herself, and the girl 'led' the army to lure Mantejou away, and she herself ran here with a few cronies!
The reason why Mantejou withdrew his troops was not because he gave up the pursuit, but because he thought he had completed his mission, so he returned to Nogan City to repay Edlaide!
No wonder 'Ula' has been dodging, it turns out that she is guilty, and Demps is beginning to believe in the identity of 'Ula'.
The chance encounter with Mo Lun touched the kindness in Li Zijun's heart, and he changed his previous Jihua.
Originally, Li Zijun wanted Kama to lead three or four hundred clansmen to appear outside Ogden, and it would be best for Demps to put them in the pass, if not, he was ready to sacrifice these three or four hundred people in exchange for Demps's trust in Kama!
The difference between the reluctance to Father Clifford and the cold-bloodedness of the three or four hundred people of the Yaksa tribe is only that one appreciates each other and a group has never met!
Lee Zijun was glad that he understood this before he made a big mistake, so he changed his Jihua in time.
It was also this transformation of Li Zijun that not only gained more trust from Kama, but also successfully deceived Demps, who was known for his prudence, and made his Jihua go more smoothly!
This also made Li Zijun understand the importance of intrigue, intrigue and means, and good thoughts to last forever!
"My lord, do you have any news of my mother, how is she now?" 'Ulla' asked Demps a little nervously, her eyes full of longing.
"She?" Demps hesitated, he couldn't bear to tell Ulla the bad news that Karma had been 'killed in battle'.
"What's wrong with her?" said Ulla's tone, with a hint of crying.
"At present, the whereabouts of Kamartou are unknown, and according to the news, Edlaide is still sending people around to find her whereabouts!"
"According to this analysis, your mother should still be safe!" Demps finally chose to hide the truth from 'Ula'.
"May the gods bless Mother and Yaksa!" said 'Ulla' in prayer on his knees.
"Master Demps, can you send someone to send me to your capital immediately?" said 'Ula', as if suddenly thinking of something, got up and came to Demps and pleaded.
Demps understood the meaning of 'Ula', she just wanted to ask the Fengqi Empire to send troops to rescue the Yaksians and rescue Kama.
Although Demps sympathized with 'Ula', this did not mean that he would send 'Ula' to Beijing.
Sending 'Ula' to Beijing means that he agrees with the rescue of the Yaksa! This is a matter of Fengqi's national policy, and it is by no means something that a small person like Demps can freely express his opinions, and even if he no longer understands politics, he will not do such a stupid thing!
"I have exceeded my authority by allowing you to take refuge here, and I really can't help this request of yours!"
At this point, the rest of the words become less important, which proves that Demps fully believes in the identity of 'Ula'! (To be continued......
