Chapter 541: Trade-offs
"Isn't there still a few days left before the deadline, why are you going to leave the city so soon?" Looking at Li Zijun, who came to say goodbye, Virgil frowned and wondered.
"Wechen's father-in-law is going out of the city to recuperate in the other courtyard today! Wechen hasn't had anything important to do lately anyway, in order to let Winnie accompany Mr. Yue, Wechen is going to go to the other courtyard with him. ”
"Although Wechen has been graced by His Majesty for ten days, once he goes out of the city, it is still not good to return to the city to bid you farewell, so Wechen will say goodbye to you in advance today!"
"So you're okay now?" Virgil heard the dissatisfaction in Li Zijun's words, and looked at him with a sharp look in his eyes and asked loudly.
"Weichen doesn't dare! Weichen did make a mistake and deserves to be punished like this!" Li Zijun didn't seem to notice Fergel's stern eyes at all, and still maintained his previous indifference.
Virgil seemed to be suddenly enraged by Li Zijun, and he stared at Li Zijun viciously, his eyes full of murderous intent.
The people around him all held their breath when they saw this scene, but Li Zijun still looked indifferent before, he didn't seem to realize the reality that the danger was getting closer and closer to him!
"Let's go!" I don't know why, just on the verge of a storm, Virgil suddenly looked like a balloon that had been deflated, and his murderous eyes disappeared without a trace in an instant. Not only that, but his expression also revealed an irrepressible sense of loss and sadness.
"Thank you!" Li Zijun was still the same as before, and after thanking him, he turned around and walked straight out of the hall.
"Get me out!" After Li Zijun's back disappeared, Virgil could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and loudly drove out the palace maids and chamberlains.
"Why doesn't this stinky boy understand. I asked him to leave to protect his hard work?!" When only two people were left in the hall, Virgil and Daniel, Virgil couldn't help but complain to Daniel. Then. Virgil was like a father, not an emperor.
"Ed is young after all. It's normal to be wronged and can't figure it out!"
"Is he wronged?!Am I not wronged? You know best about this matter, you know how much pressure I put on him to let him go!"
"Yes, yes, I believe that the Grand Duke will definitely understand His Majesty's good intentions in the future!"
"Hey!"
"Has this stinky boy had any dealings with the Cult of the Illuminati lately?" Virgil suddenly changed his words and turned the conversation to the Cult of the Illuminati.
"Except for the fact that the Cult of Light sent a cultist nicknamed 'Monkey' to help him prepare for the wedding during Charity's wedding, he had no contact with the Cult of Illuminati during this time. ”
"This 'monkey' does not have a high status in the Cult of the Illuminati, he was originally a subordinate of Ed, but he joined the Cult of the Illuminati for unknown reasons. The Light God Sect sent him over to help, it should be just a gesture of goodwill!"
"Judging by Ed's recent appearance. He still listened to your advice, and tried to avoid associating with the Cult of Light and unrelated people. ”
"Has there been any movement in the Cult of Light lately?"
"Before Ed's wedding, Fu Lie and Dai Yi led the cultists out of Filano City, and according to intelligence, they were about to return to the headquarters of the Cult of Light. ”
"Armstrong and Kaye are still in the city, but they haven't left their church since the Tree of Light entered the city. None of them came to Ed's wedding, but they sent someone to give each a gift. ”
Hearing Daniel's debriefing, Virgil nodded in satisfaction.
"What have Waters been up to lately?"
"The eldest prince seems to be in a particularly good mood lately, for more than half a month. He accompanies Blanche on his adventures almost every day, and even many of the government affairs that need to be handled by him are entrusted to others!" Speaking of this, Daniel couldn't help but sneak a glance at Fergill.
"Oh?" Virgil couldn't help but frown.
"In your judgment, why did Waters have such a look?"
"The eldest prince has always been at odds with the Grand Duke of Charity, could it be because he saw the Grand Duke grounded. So?"
Virgil was obviously not satisfied with Daniel's answer, and he kept shaking his head:
"Is there any news of those guys in Panlin?"
"Silently. They've disappeared all of a sudden! I've sent additional men to track them down, but so far no valuable news has come back. ”
"Looks like they're going to make a big move!" Are there any changes in the defenders around Firano?" Fergil suddenly lowered his voice further.
"No, you're worried about a mutiny?" Daniel immediately understood Fergil's point. He couldn't help but get nervous.
"Waters made such a big scene this time, is he just for Charity?
"Is there any change on the fifth, sixth, and ninth sides?"
"They are all the same as always, those who should be dealing with government affairs are still dealing with government affairs, and those who are recuperating from their injuries are still recuperating from their injuries, and nothing has changed!"
"I hope they don't misread the shape!"
"Daniel, you must immediately increase the monitoring of the defenders around Filano City, including Filano City itself, and take action against them as soon as they make any changes!
"Yes!"
"Secretly increase the defense inside the palace, if there is a change outside the palace, immediately close the palace gate!"
"Yes!"
"What about the Grand Duke of Edward, should we let him leave the capital for a while? In this way, we can strengthen the defenses of Filano and protect the safety of the Grand Duke himself. ”
"Don't you see it now? Ed is an introduction, everyone is waiting for the other party's strength to be led away by him before they can do it. If he doesn't go, nothing will happen to Filano City. ”
"For the sake of the long-term peace and stability of the Dongyu Empire, he must leave this time!"
"But?"
"You don't have to worry about Ed's safety! As a Saint Rank master who has successfully crossed the Essex Mountains, he still has this ability to protect himself!" Virgil seemed to have completely forgotten about the others around Li Zijun.
"Let's go down and arrange it!"
"Yes!" Seeing that Virgil had already made a decision, Daniel didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly took the order and walked out.
"Bellock!"
"Minister!" Hearing Fergil's call, Belloc, who had been hiding in the dark room, immediately bowed and walked out.
"You must have heard what Daniel said, right?, is what you said true?" asked Fergil as he waved his hand to Beloc and stared at him intently.
"It's basically true! According to the minister's understanding, there is indeed no movement among the generals of the defenders around Filano City, including Filano City itself!"
"Basically, is there anything else that goes wrong?" Virgil looked at Belloc and raised his voice slightly.
"I think Master Daniel actually cares about Winnie, not Archduke Edlaide!"
"Winnie, are you trying to imply that Daniel is close to Alec?"
"The minister doesn't dare, the minister just tells the truth!" Since becoming the chief of staff, Belloc has become much calmer, and he is no longer the trembling appearance he used to be.
"Tell the truth, then I'll listen to your 'tell the truth'. What do you think of my abandonment of sending someone to protect Charity, and do you think I'm a little selfish and cold-blooded, like Daniel?"
"The minister thinks that there is nothing wrong with doing this! You are the cornerstone of our Dongyu, and only when you are truly safe, our Dongyu is safe! Compared to this, the other qiē are secondary! The minister doesn't think there is any problem with your decision!"
"In addition, the minister also believes in your judgment: you are the real target of the group of people in Panlin, and the Grand Duke is just a disguise! You must have made a decision like this based on this judgment!"
"Hmm!" Virgil nodded in satisfaction at Belloc's answer.
"Continue to monitor the movements of the surrounding defenders, and never give anyone a chance!"
"Your Excellency understands!" Belloc knew very well that Virgil was trying to make him stare at the eldest prince, and he fell to one knee in front of Fergil's table.
"Daniel has transferred all the masters into the palace?What does Fergil want to do, does he want to just watch Ed go to his death?"
"Virgil has always been like this, he can sacrifice anyone for himself! After all these years, I thought he would change, but now it seems that I was wrong! He is still him, he is who he is, he has never changed!"
"Ed has not asked us for help, most likely because he misjudged Fergill, which would make him very dangerous!"
Somewhat strangely, Li Zijun told Alec that he had a plan with the Cult of Light to deal with Panlin, but Armstrong said that the two sides had not reached any agreement on this. One of the two of them must have lied!
"We must warn Ed that his judgment is wrong!" Kaye said, turning his gaze to the saint's face.
"I'm going, isn't that appropriate?" the saint was stunned for a moment when she noticed Kaye and Armstrong's gazes, and then became a little hesitant.
"There's no one better to go than you!At this time, it's time for you to see Ed again!" Kaye knew very well what the saint was struggling with, and he shook his head slightly, and sincerely persuaded her.
"Ed can't do without us! It's like we can't do without him! For the sake of our Cult of the Illuminati, and for Charity's future, we all want you to talk to him!" Compared to Kaye, Armstrong was more purposeful and spoke more bluntly. (To be continued......)
