Chapter 344: A Precious Opportunity
"Yes, father!" replied Walder, who had not explained anything to his father.
Seeing Walder's appearance, the anger in Woodrow's heart suddenly rose, and he had the intention to directly expose Walder's actions, but thinking of Gladys's advice to 'don't break Walder' when he left, he swallowed back the rebuke that came to his mouth.
"Dongyu's Grand Duke Edlaide wrote a few days ago saying that the poison in your mother's body is 'mixed poison'! He suggested that we contact some masters who are good at using 'mixed poison' before your mother returns to Beijing, so that we can also save some time. ”
"I seem to remember that you have a few friends from similar families, and I want you to use the time they are on their way to contact those friends of yours and ask them to help as much as possible!
"I'm responsible for this, I'm going to contact them, and I'm sure they'll do their best to save my mother!" Ward was always worried that what he was doing would be discovered by his father and Gladys, especially his own father.
Ward has a very deep understanding of Gladys's personality, and despite the fact that she is always extremely aggressive, she is actually softer on her heart than many people. He concluded that even if Gladys guessed that he had poisoned him, he would not do anything to him, and at most he would reprimand him!
In contrast to Gladys's strong personality and weak personality, Woodrow has always been generous to others, but not so benevolent to others! Once the father found out about his poisoning, he would get rid of himself as a 'scourge'! He was no longer Woodrow's only heir, which made him have to worry about it.
Seeing the attitude of my father towards himself. Ward thought he had succeeded in hiding from him, and he was finally secretly relieved.
It's just that Huade didn't expect that everything he did couldn't escape his father's eyes!
Knowing that Walder's performance was only cowardice, not guilt, Woodrow was disappointed in him to the extreme! He closed his eyes in agony, not wanting to see this 'disobedient son' again!
"Father, what's wrong with you? Do you need me to get a doctor for you?" Ward couldn't help but take two steps forward and ask when he saw Woodrow's appearance.
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired, I'll be fine after a little rest!" Woodrow frowned and waved his hand at Ward.
"You'd better go about your mother's business. This must not be delayed!"
"Father, don't worry, you can't delay! You really don't need to ask a doctor to see you?"
"Not really, you can go down!" Woodrow waved impatiently at Walder.
"Then I'll contact them, you must pay attention to rest!" Seeing that his father was indeed fine, Walter turned to leave after giving a salute.
Hearing the sound of Ward leaving, Woodrow opened his eyes again, and the tiredness in his eyes was swept away, replaced by a thick killing intent!
"Lust for profit, kindness will take revenge! When did you become what you are today? Gladys has already recommended to me that you be Ziqing's future heir, and send her son to Dongwoo as a hostage, so as to win more and greater support from Dongyu!"
"I was a little hesitant about it, but now it's okay. You helped me decide!" Woodrow said to himself, staring coldly at the door.
"There is no way I would choose someone like you to be the future king of Ziqing!"
"Now you only have one chance left, a chance to show your conscience and win a glimmer of life for yourself, I hope you don't miss it!" Woodrow had a very hideous expression!
Different from the mentality of the Ziqing bosses now, Li Zijun has only one thought in his heart at the moment: that is, to rush to Toscano as soon as possible!
As the time limit given by the Kamar head man gets closer and closer. And Gladys's situation is getting worse and worse as expected, although she still laughs and scolds in front of Li Zijun. But her increasingly pale cheeks and the beads of sweat that kept falling from her head still exposed her pain and weakness.
Behind the scenes, Lillian had cried to Li Zijun many times, and Gladys always secretly took a lot of painkillers.
Every time Li Zijun learned about this situation, he would always sigh and ask Shamantha to prepare some more painkillers and send them to Gladys.
Then, it's time to travel day and night!
"Ed, are you crazy! You are also the one who leads the troops, you are in such a hurry, how many of those soldiers outside can make it to Toscano alive?!" Gladys woke up and saw the scene outside the window, and immediately ordered someone to summon Li Zijun into her car. As soon as they met, Gladys scolded with his head covered his face!
"Princess, not as serious as you say! Actually, I was making a bet with the soldiers that for every day they arrived in Toscano early, they would each win me ten gold coins, and vice versa! ”
"Actually, what you just said was wrong, it's not that I'm crazy, it's that they're crazy!" Li Zijun smiled.
"Don't be hippie with me! you're so irritating to them, it's no wonder they're not crazy!"
"You can't go on like this anymore, you must stop! You go and give the order now, stop in the village and town in front of you to rest, old lady, I want to take a bath!"
"But it's still early before dark, shall we hurry any further? I go out and give orders at this time, and they will probably think that I am going to be a scoundrel!"
"Catch up with a fart! Tell me how many soldiers have fallen from their horses outside? There are no thirty, but there are twenty! Hurry forward? Catch up with you and your kid will soon become the commander of the light pole! Today's old lady has given me, hurry up and give me the order!"
When Li Zijun heard Gladys say this, he couldn't continue to insist, so he had to turn around and go out to give an order.
With Li Zijun's order, a cheer rang out among the soldiers, they had worked too hard during this time!
This time, in order to speed up the march, Li Zijun equipped all the cavalry with three war horses. But at this time, each person could not even divide the two war horses, and the rest of the war horses were all exhausted and fell on the side of the road. Some even fell to the ground and died.
The number of people who fell from the horse also far exceeded Gladys's estimate, just now. More than 50 people have already fallen from their horses.
Fortunately, the 500 cavalrymen were all carefully selected horsemen, and only three of the more than 50 horsemen were seriously injured, and the others were able to take care of themselves.
In order not to waste time, Li Zijun had to leave enough gold coins for them to recuperate on their own, and he led the team to continue on the road.
Gladys is right, Li Zijun is indeed a little crazy! But he is really unwilling, just watching Gladys leave!
"Don't be so anxious!Didn't my father lend me the 'Blood Jade Ruyi', with this treasure on my body, I won't die so easily!" Gladys smiled open-mindedly when he saw Li Zijun returning.
Li Zijun noticed. Gladys had been frowning a moment before he found him, but in the blink of an eye, he felt his heart be stabbed hard! He had wanted to come back and make a joke with Gladys to relieve her pain, but seeing this scene, he was not in such a mood anymore.
"As long as I'm here, I won't allow this to happen!" Li Zijun said firmly as he looked at Gladys.
"Lilian, take care of the princess to rest, and we will continue to hurry tomorrow morning!" Li Zijun instructed Lilian. Turning to leave, he couldn't let himself stay here, he was afraid that he would not be able to control his tears!
Hearing Li Zijun's promise, Gladys was slightly stunned. When she reacted again, she only saw Li Zijun's back.
"I believe in you!" Gladys's words made Li Zijun's footsteps pause slightly, but he didn't look back. On the contrary, he quickened his pace, and in the blink of an eye. Disappeared in Gladys' field of vision.
"Elder Van Lunding, is there a way you can do anything about Walter's body. So that I can find him at any time?" Li Zijun went straight to Fan Lunding and sent the others away, he asked with a gloomy face.
"Now?"
"Yes, right now! When I got to Toscano, I was afraid that he would be on guard, and that it would not be so easy for me to find him. ”
"Young master, Walter is the prince of Ziqing, you don't really want to assassinate him, do you?"
"If I can't resolve the 'mixed poison' in the princess's body this time, don't say that he is just the prince of Ziqing, even if he is the emperor of Ziqing, I will never let him go!"
"Young Master, this matter is too implicated, do you want to think about it again?" If the news of Walter's assassination leaks, it will greatly affect the relationship between Dongyu and Ziqing, and it is even likely to cause years of war. Fan Lunding was afraid that Li Zijun would break into a big disaster on impulse, so he hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him.
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to move him openly! Moreover, as long as the princess can get through the danger this time, I won't take the initiative to invite myself into such trouble!"
"But if something happens to the princess, then he can't blame me for being ruthless!" The murderous aura that emanated from Li Zijun's body made Fan Lunding shiver.
Seeing Li Zijun's expression so resolute, Fan Lunding understood that it was useless to say more, he sighed, turned around and contacted his subordinates to carry out the order.
After Fan Lunding left, the anger in Li Zijun's heart finally gradually subsided, and he let out a long breath and personally went to arrange accommodation and food for the soldiers.
These days, in addition to being a little unkind to constantly urging to speed up the march, Li Zijun has tried his best to let the accompanying soldiers enjoy the best treatment in other aspects.
Not only that, Li Zijun will also reward soldiers with high sums every day.
Tempting food, lucrative profits, and, above all, respect from the nobility, all of these things succeeded in resolving the discontent of the five hundred cavalry, and at the same time became the driving force for them to move forward.
This also ensures that since the departure, few people have complained, let alone protested against Li Zijun!
Li Zijun settled everyone in place, and then he returned to his room. But before he could sit down, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door. (To be continued......)
