Chapter 253: What Should Have Happened Is Still Coming

"Brother, brother, can you hear me?" asked Jeff cautiously and softly asked, despite the fact that the knight was covered in blood, and when he heard Li Zijun's order, he immediately rushed over and took him into his arms.

"Give it to the general!" the knight gradually woke up at Zhigeev's call, and as if he could no longer see his surroundings, he took out a strip of cloth from his bosom and waved it in the air.

"My lord?" Zhgeoff grabbed the knight's still shaking arm and took the strip of cloth into his hand. It's just that he didn't dare to look at what was written on the strip of cloth, so he turned his head to look at Li Zijun with an inquiring gaze.

Li Zijun hesitated slightly, and finally nodded to Jeff.

Zhijiefu carefully opened the cloth strip, and when he saw the handwriting on it, his face immediately changed, and he looked at Li Zijun in a bit of a panic.

Seeing Zhijiefu's expression, Li Zijun couldn't help but sigh in his heart: After all, what should have come is still here! He ordered everyone else to stand aside, and walked over to take the strip of cloth from Zhijiefu's hand.

Sure enough, as Li Zijun expected, there was only one line of handwriting written in blood on the cloth strip: 'Blood Jade Ruyi' is at No. 36 Mills Lane!

"'Monkey', you and Raleigh will immediately go and invite the fifth and ninth princes to the Duke's Palace. Remember, don't separate the two of you, don't communicate with anyone about what happened this morning, don't even if the two princes ask, just tell them that Ben Jue has something important to discuss!" Li Zijun gave the order to the two of them casually.

Immediately, Li Zijun selected one person from each of the teams of Zhijief and Raleigh, and carried the wounded knight into the palace together with two people from the Duke's Palace.

"From now on, no one is allowed to come into contact with them. Those who violate the order will be killed!" Li Zijun turned his head and instructed Elder Fan Lunding, who had just heard the news and rushed here.

Although Fan Lunding didn't know what was going on, he saw Li Zijun's grim expression. also guessed that it must be a big deal, and nodded to Li Zijun seriously.

"Arrange for the doctors in the palace to do their best to treat this knight. No matter what it takes, I need him alive! Everyone who is close to this knight must be isolated, including everyone who is in front of the palace at this moment, whether they belong to the Criminal Department or the Duke's Palace, they will never be allowed to contact anyone else. Those who dare to defy the law will be killed!" Li Zijun looked around, and everyone who was swept by his gaze couldn't help but be smart. People who were still resentful, under the gaze of Li Zijun, did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. Obediently followed Van Lunding back to the mansion.

"Zhijief, you will follow me from now on, and don't leave for a moment!"

Li Zijun waited until everyone turned back to the mansion, looked at the direction of the prime minister's mansion and sighed deeply, and then motioned to Zhjiefu to lead his horse back to the mansion.

Although the fifth prince and the ninth prince didn't understand that Li Zijun was in such a hurry to see him, they saw that 'Monkey' and Raleigh had serious expressions and refused to tell the truth. They also roughly guessed that something big must have happened, and they didn't dare to delay, so they immediately hurried to the Duke's Palace with their men.

Seeing that the entire Duke's Palace was heavily guarded, the fifth prince and the ninth prince also became nervous. They hurried to Li Zijun's study.

Li Zijun motioned for them to retreat from their respective men, and then spread out the strip of cloth and pushed it in front of them.

Seeing the handwriting on the strip of cloth, the two people who had just sat down suddenly stood up together.

"Who sent this message?" the fifth prince looked at Li Zijun. He asked in a low voice.

"Wait, we're discussing such an important matter, how can he stay here?" the Ninth Prince said dissatisfied, pointing to Zhijiefu who was standing behind Li Zijun.

"For now. This strip of cloth was only visible to the four of us, and he was the first to open it. In order to avoid leakage of information. I can't get him out of my sight!"

Although the ninth prince didn't say anything more, the cold light that flashed in his eyes still betrayed his inner thoughts.

"Zhigeev. You've seen what happened just now, help me explain the situation to the two princes!" Li Zijun ignored the murderous eyes of the ninth prince and instructed Richjefu to tell the whole story.

Zhijief's eloquence is not bad, and everything that happened this morning has been clearly displayed in front of the three of them in a few words.

"Two princes, do you think you can believe this news?" Li Zijun paused slightly after Richje told the story, giving them some time to think, and then asked the two for advice.

The fifth prince was not prepared for today's situation, and various thoughts kept flashing in his mind, but these thoughts were not suitable for public, especially not in front of these two people. But even so, Li Zijun's question didn't stump him, he smiled, and turned his gaze to the ninth prince Timothy:

"Ninth brother, what do you think about this?"

Seeing that the fifth prince pushed the problem onto himself, Timothy couldn't help but secretly hate him for being cunning. It's just that he doesn't have any way to deal with it, on the one hand, the fifth prince has the natural advantage of being born a few years earlier, and on the other hand, in this matter, he has something to ask for, which also forces him to speak.

"I don't think we can easily let go of this clue whether this news is true or not! I think the most important task for us at the moment is to send a large army to block Mills Lane and immediately launch a large manhunt. 'Blood Jade Ruyi' is of great significance to my Dongyu Empire! Even if there is only a one percent possibility, we must also make one hundred percent efforts!" said the Ninth Prince Timothy with a little excitement.

"If this clue is true, there will naturally be no problem with the Nine Princes' approach, and we can also quickly find the 'Blood Jade Ruyi';

"With the Liliang we currently have, we are already stretched thin to monitor all the suspects. Once we decide to search Mills Lane, we will inevitably relax our attention to other aspects, and if this is false news that the other party wants to divert our attention, they will definitely take advantage of our negligence to carry out the diversion of 'Blood Jade Ruyi'. If they succeed in their treacherous schemes, you and I will both become sinners of the Dongyu Empire!" Li Zijun shook his head, rejecting the Ninth Prince's suggestion in disguise.

Hearing Li Zijun say this, the Ninth Prince couldn't help but secretly worry, he was not 100% sure that the 'Blood Jade Ruyi' was in Mills Lane. If there is a result that Li Zijun expected, he will really become an accomplice to the gang that stole the 'Blood Jade Ruyi'!

As soon as this thought appeared in the mind of the Ninth Prince, he denied it!

This confidence didn't just come from Belinda, who rarely let him down, and during this time, the Nine Princes had sent a few of his most elite men to monitor the location. His men found that almost everyone who came in and out of the place was very skilled, and at the same time, they were extremely organized, disciplined, and most importantly, someone suddenly brought them several wooden boxes of deep sea rosewood.

'Blood Jade Ruyi' has a property, that is, it emits a faint red light. The red light looks inconspicuous on the surface, but few items other than the deep sea rosewood can completely block its light.

This is also the reason why people have been unable to let go of the loss of 'Blood Jade Ruyi' on the day of the ball, and they really can't think of any way to take such a shining thing away from the 'little princess' in full view of everyone!

You must know that once the deep-sea red sandalwood leaves the seawater, it will immediately become hard and abnormal, and it is not easy for even a saint-level master to disconnect it. Therefore, all the items used to make the deep-sea red sandalwood must be completed in the sea, and in this case, the items produced are often larger. It is almost impossible to make a small deep-sea red sandalwood box that is not discovered!

There is another characteristic of deep-sea red sandalwood, that is, it will exude a faint fragrance, and this fragrance will not go away for a long time! No one has this kind of fragrance on the day of the dance, which completely cuts off the possibility of someone using deep-sea red sandalwood to take away the 'blood jade ruyi'.

Although the gang in Mills Lane tried their best to cover up the smell of deep-sea red sandalwood, they were still discovered by the Nine Prince's subordinates, and it was precisely for this reason that the Nine Princes' confidence in determining that the 'Blood Jade Ruyi' was here.

"Archduke Edlaide, are you a little worried, since that knight calls you 'General', he must have been your subordinate when he was the commander of the Northern Army. The fact that he was able to insist on handing over this piece of cloth to you even though he was seriously injured shows his respect for you! I don't think such a righteous man who cares about his life and death will not have come here to deceive you, right? If we just ignore the information he sent at the risk of death, and wait until one day it is proved that all this is true, how can we be embarrassed!"

"First of all, I'm pretty sure I've never seen this knight, and he's not one of my men!"

"Secondly, there is no shortage of bitter meat tricks, and I will not believe everything he says just because he is seriously injured. ”

"Zuihou, even if he is all true, according to our previous deployment, they will not be able to escape the range of Filano City. ”

"Speaking of which, don't you just don't want to send troops to rush to Mills Lane! There were so many people under your command back then, how could you be able to know each of them? If you continue like this, you will miss the opportunity in vain!" Seeing that Li Zijun did not give in at all, the ninth prince stood up excitedly.

"Whether you believe it or not, this person is definitely not my subordinate! I will never easily change my previous jihua for him!" Li Zijun was also a little angry, and tilted his head and stopped paying attention to the ninth prince.

"Ninth brother, you sit down first!" the fifth prince pulled the ninth prince back into his seat.

"Ed, you are calm and calm!" (to be continued......)
