Chapter 261: Backup Plan
"We came to the Dongyu Empire this time completely on the orders of Princess Gladys, and this token was handed over to us when she gave the order!
"Shaw, are you joking with me? Although Gladys is already the princess of the Ziqing Empire, she is still the princess of our Dongyu after all, how could she send you to do such a thing?" Timothy always believed in his heart that Shaw and his gang were thieves who stole the 'Blood Jade Ruyi', and he really found it hard to believe that these people were doing this on Gladys' orders!
"Wait, is there some misunderstanding here?" Shaw frowned slightly when he heard Timothy's words.
"We have been law-abiding since we came to the Dongyu Empire, and we have never done anything out of the ordinary, I don't know what you mean by that?"
"What do you mean? You stole our national treasure, and instead asked us what we mean?!Shaw, do you really think that as long as you hold my sister's token, you can do anything wrong in the Dongyu Empire?" Timothy's face changed, and he shouted at Shaw.
"Steal your national treasure, Nine Princes, don't you spew blood!" Shaw seemed to be enraged by this, and he took a few steps in the direction of the Nine Princes.
Although the Nine Princes were standing in his own team at the moment, he suddenly felt like he was alone against Shaw, and the mount under him also retreated backwards uncontrollably.
On the one hand, the beauty is fragrant and laughs at the strong enemy, but on the other hand, it is full of timidity and retreat under the protection of heavy soldiers, and the contrast between the two sides more clearly exposes the gap between the two!
See such a scene. The direct subordinates of the ninth prince couldn't help but bow their heads, and those of his original cronies in the Criminal Department. They all turned their heads to the other side, no longer wanting to be found out about their relationship with the Nine Princes!
As a matter of fact. Timothy wasn't so dismissive, but he didn't expect his mount to suddenly retreat anyway. After realizing the eyes of the people around him, he wanted to cut his war horse with a knife, and for a while, he forgot to respond to Shaw.
"If it weren't for our national treasure, why did you come to our country at this time?" the fifth prince suddenly strode towards Shaw, and only after being more than ten meters away from him. Question him out loud.
The fifth prince's move attracted everyone's attention to him, and saved the face of the Dongyu royal family in time, but this formed another heavy blow to Timothy!
At this moment, Timothy's face was extremely pale, and he knew that after today's scene, not only was he completely away from the position of Dongyu's heir, but his subordinates would soon rebel and leave, in a word: he is finished!
All this is because of the teenager, Timothy is looking into the eyes of Li Zijun. There is a strong hatred!
"We are indeed here for the treasure of your country, but not as you think, our purpose is by no means to take it for ourselves! Help you find that symbolic treasure as soon as possible, so as to repay Virgil Bixia for raising her!"
"There is no evidence, you can naturally say whatever you want!" Li Zijun was worried about the safety of the fifth prince. Endured the pain and walked to his side.
Belinda hesitated, but Zuihou still chose to follow behind Li Zijun. Blocked the wound for him as much as possible.
"The Grand Duke's words are wrong! Just before you came here, we had already reported the matter to Virgil Bixia!"
"Didn't you take action today with the consent of Virgil Bixia?" asked Shaw with a puzzled look on his face as he asked Li Zijun and the Fifth Prince.
"How is this possible. We" The fifth prince was about to say that he and Li Zijun had just rushed over from the palace, but Li Zijun suddenly stopped him at this time.
"Bixia has already authorized this matter to the Fifth Prince, the Ninth Prince, and the three of me to be responsible, and we don't need to report to his old man in a place like yours!" Li Zijun has probably guessed what Shaw is doing, he is just playing with himself, Shaw and these people should have realized that they are being targeted, and they have made a backup plan for this purpose: once this place is attacked, the representative of the Ziqing Empire will send an official note to the Dongyu Empire. In this way, their actions in the Dongyu Empire not only became logical, but also made Virgil Bixia owe them a favor.
At this time, if the fifth prince said that they had just arrived from the palace, Shaw would definitely interpret their actions today as murderous and exterminating, and Zuihou would even involve the image of Virgil Bixia.
The fifth prince of such a black pot can't and can't bear it, based on this judgment, Li Zijun hurriedly stood up to stop him from continuing.
"Now that you've informed Virgil Bixia about this, I think you've found a valuable clue!" Li Zijun asked Shaw with a smile, ignoring the fifth prince's inquiring eyes.
"After all this period of hard work, we not only got the news of that treasure, but we also used a lot of money to buy it last night!" said Shaw with some smugness.
"What you said is true?" Hearing Yifu's words, the fifth prince and Li Zijun couldn't help but be taken aback, and the fifth prince couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, we also mentioned this matter in our letter to your country's Virgil Bixia, we have been waiting for the Virgil Bixia's holy decree, but we didn't expect that the holy decree has not yet arrived, but you have rushed here with great momentum. Launched an attack on us without saying a word or indiscriminately!"
"We don't know what's going on, and we think you're a bunch of evil people with bad intentions, so you're going to fight back!"
The fifth prince and Li Zijun turned their heads to look at the ninth prince Timothy, thinking that they had just made meritorious contributions, and they really did not reveal their identities to Yifu's gang. In front of everyone, he couldn't deny it, but his face turned red and nodded slightly to the fifth prince and Li Zijun.
"If you still don't believe me, send someone to the palace and ask!" Shaw said confidently.
"Lord Wang, what do you think?" In fact, Li Zijun had already believed Yifu's words in his heart, and he asked the fifth prince with a bitter face.
The fifth prince was about to speak, when suddenly there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in his ears. They followed the sound and looked into the distance, only to see a small group of cavalry galloping from the direction of the palace, and the person leading the way was none other than Daniel, the commander of Dongwoo's Ouchi guard.
"The Fifth Prince, the Ninth Prince, and the Grand Duke of Edlaide, please take the order!" Daniel came to the front of the fifth prince and Li Zijun, took out the holy decree and said.
Timothy hesitated slightly, but finally came to the side of the fifth prince and Li Zijun, and prepared to receive the order with them.
"Bixia has an order, ordering you and others to immediately stop all military operations against the Ziqing Empire's mission!
Li Zijun took the decree and said hello to Shaw, and together they stopped the battle between Patrick and the 'big meat roll'.
Baldwin's body was a little slower than Li Zijun, and he arrived only after Li Zijun fended off the attack of the two. It was this half-step difference that made Li Zijun seriously injured! This made Patrick Dewin blame himself very much, and he also vented all his anger on the body of the 'big meat roll', until he heard Li Zijun's order at this moment, he gave up the attack and returned to Li Zijun's side, but his eyes were still glaring at his opponent.
"Grand Duke, I didn't expect that I hadn't seen you for a few months, and your martial arts skills had improved a lot, if you hadn't spoken just now, I couldn't believe that the person on the other side would be you!"
"It's good that you recognize my voice, otherwise I'm really in danger! To tell you the truth, just now I thought you were pretending not to know me, and you wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of me!" Li Zijun looked at Shaw and said with a sneer.
"The Grand Duke laughed!" Shaw said to Li Zijun and turned to face the Fifth Prince, the Ninth Prince, and Daniel.
"I was offended a lot just now, how about you please come into the house and talk about it?"
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Please don't mind Master Shaw! Father and Emperor are waiting for you at the moment, so we won't bother you in the mansion!" the fifth prince politely rejected Shaw's invitation.
Shaw didn't say anything more, and went back to the courtyard with 'Big Meat Roll' and Serra.
"Grand Duke, can I talk to you alone?" Daniel was talking to Li Zijun on the surface, but his eyes were looking at the fifth prince and the ninth prince.
The fifth prince smiled slightly, took off his cloak to help Li Zijun put it on, and whispered "xiexie" in his ear, he already understood Li Zijun's intention to interrupt him before, expressed his gratitude, and turned around and walked away.
Although the ninth prince was full of unwillingness to today's events, he didn't dare to offend Daniel easily, and returned to the position he walked out with a gloomy face.
Belinda was reluctant to glance at Li Zijun and left, but she did not turn back to the camp of the Nine Princes, but walked out of the team directly and quickly disappeared from people's sight.
"Grand Duke, can you still hold on?" Daniel had already noticed Li Zijun's injury, and only at this time did he take the time to care.
"I've been used to this kind of injury for a long time, if Bixia has any orders, please tell me directly, I promise that I won't make a mistake!" Li Zijun said with a faint smile.
"Bixia orders me to tell you, no matter what, this case must be investigated to the end and the real thief must be found!" (To be continued......)
