Chapter 263: Impulsiveness
During the time when Van Lunding and the 'monkey' searched for clues, Li Zijun instructed Zygef to control the situation outside the door, and he took Padwin to a random room and treated his wounds.
After helping Li Zijun bandage his wounds, he also led a team of Ouchi guards to join the search.
Van Lunding, Baldwin and 'Monkey' carefully searched Mills Alley three times, and Zuihou returned to Li Zijun with a disappointed face.
For such a result, Li Zijun had long been mentally prepared, and seeing the expressions of these three people, he couldn't help but smile slightly:
"Our opponents are very cunning, they have done almost everything well, and they will never easily show their flaws to us!"
"You have all made such a judgment before, what is expected, why do you have this expression?!" Li Zijun comforted the three people.
The three of them exchanged glances with each other, and they all smiled bitterly and sighed, so they had to reluctantly accept the result.
The search here has ended, and the performance outside the door has come to an end, Li Zijun was about to collect his troops and return home, when Rijiefu suddenly walked in with several chamberlains in the palace.
The chamberlain read out Fergiel Bixia's dictation to Li Zijun, and the oracle only said that he would enter the palace immediately, but the chamberlains kept silent about the specific reason.
"Hang yourself to take a breath!" Li Zijun couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Although Li Zijun was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he did not show any displeasure on the surface, and ordered to reward these servants on his behalf. After briefly explaining the situation here to everyone, he immediately followed the chamberlain to the carriage and rushed to the palace.
The carriage that Li Zijun was riding in drove directly into the palace. Take him to the outside of the palace where Virgil Bixia works. As soon as Li Zijun got out of the car, a chamberlain who often followed Fergil greeted him. His expression was very solemn, and he hurriedly let Li Zijun into the hall alone.
What happened to the hell? Li Zijun couldn't help but guess in his heart. Under such doubts. He quickened his pace and quickly made his way to Fergill's desk.
Li Zijun's gaze was quickly attracted by the deep-sea rosewood box on the table. At this moment, the wooden box had been opened, and Li Zijun walked closer to find that a red gem very similar to the legendary 'Blood Jade Ruyi' was lying quietly in the middle of the wooden box.
Seeing Fergil's extremely ugly face, Li Zijun suppressed his curiosity, stepped forward to salute Fergil, and stood aside in a proper manner.
"How. Did you find anything of value in Mills Lane?"
"Back to Bixia, my people searched it three times repeatedly, and they almost dug three feet into the ground, but they still didn't find anything!" Li Zijun said helplessly with a bitter face, spreading his hands.
"They have long been fully prepared for today's incident, how can they leave you a clue in such an obvious place!" Virgil did not have much hope for Li Zijun, he waved his hand and did not continue to dwell on this matter.
"Ed, come closer, take a look at this thing!" Fergill instructed Li Zijun, pointing to the wooden box in front of him.
Li Zijun took a few steps forward as he said. Come to the front of Fergill's desk.
"This is our country's treasure 'Blood Jade Ruyi', it looks really beautiful!" Li Zijun sighed as he looked at the red gems in the wooden box.
"You kid don't pretend to be here for me! If this thing is really 'Blood Jade Ruyi', how could I be so eager to let you enter the palace with an injury? With your kid's cleverness, I'm afraid that I have already made an accurate judgment of this thing, don't perform your ghost tricks in front of me!" Virgil Bixia looked at Li Zijun and said angrily.
Wechen really didn't believe in Shaw's gang. It's just that this thing is almost exactly the same as what Wechen heard about 'Blood Jade Ruyi' in the rumors, which misled Wechen's judgment!" Li Zijun was poked by Virgil, and touched his nose with some embarrassment. He explained with a smile.
"Just like that, it does have a bit of a resemblance to 'Blood Jade Ruyi'. But as soon as you take it out of this deep-sea red sandalwood box, you will immediately notice the difference between this piece of jade and the real thing. Virgil pointed to the wooden box. He shook his head in disappointment.
"Those bastards of the Ziqing Empire have designed such a big game for this, of course they won't just let the 'Blood Jade Ruyi' spin around in their hands!
"Are you saying that they are the real culprits who stole the 'Blood Jade Ruyi'?" Li Zijun was more inclined to another answer to the question of who stole the 'Blood Jade Ruyi', and he couldn't help frowning when he heard Fergil say it so surely.
"Things have come to this point, isn't it who else they can have?!" Virgil Bixia seemed to trust his own judgment very much, and he emphasized to Li Zijun again.
"But they said that they were ordered by Princess Gladys to track down the whereabouts of 'Blood Jade Ruyi' and rushed to Filano City. Could it be that the token in their hands is also fake?" Li Zijun hesitated, and finally lowered his voice and said the question in his heart.
"That token is true, it does belong to Gladys!But it is precisely for this reason that I feel even more that the 'Blood Jade Ruyi' must have been stolen by them!" Li Zijun saw that Fergil's face suddenly sank, and his voice became much lower.
Seeing this scene, Li Zijun immediately guessed that this matter was likely to involve some untold stories between Virgil Bixia and Gladys, and even had a great relationship with Gladys's marriage to the Ziqing Empire. This matter is a secret of the Dongyu royal family, and Li Zijun didn't want to let himself get involved, so he hurriedly turned his topic back to the fake 'Blood Jade Ruyi'.
"Is this really just a fake? Isn't it also a red jade that glows? Could it be that on the Youlan Continent, there is a gem so similar to the 'Blood Jade Ruyi'?" Li Zijun has never seen the real 'Blood Jade Ruyi', and it is normal for him to have such doubts.
"'Blood Jade Ruyi' is absolutely unique! There hasn't been a single jade similar to it on the Youlan Continent! you might as well take it out so you can understand what I'm saying. ”
When Li Zijun heard Fergill say this, he instinctively reached out and tried to take out the 'Blood Jade Ruyi' from the wooden box, but he immediately thought of Lin Chong's story in the White Tiger Hall, and he hurriedly retracted his hand again.
"This thing is fake, there's no need to be so careful!" Virgil thought that Li Zijun was afraid of damaging the treasure in the wooden box, and he waved his hand indifferently and said.
Seeing Fergill's appearance, Li Zijun couldn't help but laugh at his suspicions, and he reached out and took out the fake blood jade Ruyi from the wooden box.
As soon as the 'Blood Jade Ruyi' was sealed, the light on its body disappeared and turned into a gentle, mellow ordinary fine red jade!
To Li Zijun's surprise, the wooden box containing the fake 'Blood Jade Ruyi' was still emitting a faint red light at the moment.
"Bixia, what's going on?" Li Zijun was taken aback by this change in 'Blood Jade Ruyi', he looked up at Virgil in surprise and asked.
"Actually, this matter is very simple, all the mysteries are inside this wooden box. The person who designed this wooden box was very ingenious, he grinded several night pearls into powder, and then covered them with a thin red cloth to serve as a cushion for this red jade!"
"When the two hatchbacks work together, you have the effect you just saw. If it weren't for careful observation, I believe many people would believe that this thing is really 'Blood Jade Ruyi'. Don't say you've never seen the real 'Blood Jade Ruyi', even I was almost deceived by it in the first place!" Virgil Bixia sighed.
"The person who designed this wooden box is really well-intentioned!" Li Zijun shook his head with a wry smile when he heard Fergill's analysis.
"But this also exposes the fact that this person must have seen the 'Blood Jade Ruyi' with his own eyes!" Virgil Bixia said coldly.
"So, it's likely that 'Blood Jade Ruyi' is still in the hands of Shaw and the others?" Virgil Bixia's words seemed to wake up Li Zijun suddenly, and he said in surprise.
Virgil's eyes darkened when he heard Li Zijun's words, and he shook his head slightly.
"Since Shaw and they dare to live in the palace with such peace of mind, the 'Blood Jade Ruyi' should no longer be in their hands! Virgil said with a worried look on his face.
"If that's the case, they must have something else to do, but so far, we haven't seen any other moves from them."
"What, you want me to praise you for not using Liliang in other directions, so they don't dare to make too many moves?" Virgiel Bixia glanced at Li Zijun with a smile and said.
"Hehe, hey, this is also your good leadership!" Li Zijun smirked and patted Virgil's ass lightly.
"Don't be so complacent! With their meticulous arrangement, they failed to transport the 'Blood Jade Ruyi' out of Firano City this time, there must be other backup plans, so you have to be careful next!"
"In this case, I have to continue to track down the whereabouts of 'Blood Jade Ruyi'!" Li Zijun said with some concern.
"Now that you're starting to regret your decision, right? I thought you really didn't care about your position as Firano City Guard!" Virgil Bixia said disdainfully as he looked at Li Zijun.
"How could it be?" I was very eager for this position, and I was also worried about the situation of those brothers at that time, so I made that decision on the spur of the moment and without much thought!" Li Zijun didn't want to plant such an impression in Virgil's heart, he hurriedly explained. (To be continued......)
