"Where am I?" asked the Empress Dowager Julie, who had woken up slowly, in a confused whisper.

"This is the castle guard of Prosius City!"

"What? Who are you?" said Julie, startled by the strange man's voice, and she sat up from the bed abruptly.

"How are you?"

"Why can't it be me? Didn't you come here to greet me this time?!" Li Zijun smiled slightly, and took a few steps forward to Julie.

"You saved me?"

"It seems that Van Lunding's medicine is very effective, the medicinal properties of the ecstasy in your body have been eliminated, but I am afraid that it will take a few more days for your external injuries to fully recover!"

"If I were you, I would choose to stay in bed to recuperate!" Li Zijun said, pointing to the wound under Julie's ribs.

"This little injury doesn't stop anything! Why are you saving me?"

"In order not to let you die in the Dongyu Empire! Of course, the main thing is that I don't want you to cause me any trouble!"

"Since you don't want to stay in bed, how about we talk?" As he spoke, Li Zijun pulled over a chair and sat opposite the Empress Dowager Julie.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Mind telling me the whole story of how you were kidnapped by Gloomy?"

"There's nothing to mind, because I don't know much more than you!" Speaking of this, Julie shook her head with a wry smile:

"All I remember is that a woman stabbed me with a sword, and when I opened my eyes again, you appeared in front of me!" Julie said, pointing to the wound under her ribs, a little helplessly.

"It's as simple as that?"

"It shouldn't be that simple, so I'd rather you make up for my missing memory!"

Li Zijun looked at the Empress Dowager Julie for a while. Suddenly laughed inexplicably:

"Queen Mother, as far as I know. The maid who framed you was indeed from your disciple! I am a little curious, and it is impossible for such a handmaiden of such quality to enter your eyes. But why did she end up being your personal maid? Are you going to tell me that you have no memory of that?"

"It's none of your business!" Julie's face sank, and her face straightened.

"It really didn't matter to me until that maid of yours wanted to assassinate me!"

"She's going to assassinate you?" Julie paused slightly, understanding Yulan's purpose, and she couldn't help but gasp.

"She wants to stir up contradictions between our two countries, and then sit on the fisherman's advantage?"

"With the current strength of the Zangbei Empire, they made this decision, more for self-preservation!"

"Pick up a bargain? That is absolutely wishful thinking! Does your country have any intention of using troops against the Tibetan Empire in the near future?"

"How is this possible? You should know our situation very well, and it can be described as 'full of desolation'! The use of military force abroad is no different from seeking one's own death. How could we possibly make such a bad decision?!"

"So, someone wants to harm you?" Li Zijun's heart moved, and he looked at Julie and asked.

"What do you want to say?"

"I'm afraid you know better than me what I want to say!"

"You've guessed it wrong! We, the Turk-Hungarian Empire, have never been so united as we are today, not for plundering and killing, just for being able to survive!"

"Don't talk about that, Queen Mother, how long do you think it will take you to return to the prairie?"

"Give me two days, and I should be almost recovered!"

"Isn't two days a bit less, do you want to rest for a few more days? Anyway, there is still time in time, we don't need to be in such a hurry!"

"No, I don't. I'm already feeling better, and I'll be able to leave in two days!"

"Who are they? your new love?" said Julie, who noticed two strange young girls standing beside her bed, and her face changed.

"Don't get me wrong. They are not handmaidens, they are the daughters of important officials of our city of Prosius, and I am grateful to have invited them to take care of you!"

"You don't think my maids can be trusted?"

"Something like that happened before. I'll have to be careful! you can lift the ban on your maids now, and it's time for these two ladies to rest!"

"I'm hungry!"

Hear Julie's words. Li Zijun smiled slightly and nodded to a girl on her right.

"Queen Mother. The meal is ready, will you eat here or at the table?" the girl understood, bowed to Julie, and asked respectfully.

"Do you think I'm fit to eat at the table?!Of course this is it!" Julie glared at the girl and reprimanded the girl loudly.

This girl didn't say anything yet, and Li Zijun couldn't look at it:

"Queen Mother, I think it's better to find your maids to take care of you, they are all young ladies and daughters, and they are usually only taken care of by others, and for a while, I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet your requirements!"

"What, my heart hurts?"

"They are here to help, not to be enslaved!

"Let's go!" said Li Zijun, who really wanted to leave with the two girls.

"Wait!" Julie called out to Li Zijun as he was about to step out of the room:

"You can't just leave a wounded man like me here, can you?"

"It's a pity that I'm afraid that this can only be the case now!" Li Zijun's attitude was unusually tough, and he didn't seem to hear the meaning of Empress Dowager Julie's overtures at all.

"Lord, I think I'd better stay, right? The Queen Mother really needs someone to take care of her!" The girl who spoke up before walked a few steps quickly to Li Zijun's side and whispered instructions.

"Lord Wang, I'm willing to stay!" Seeing this, the girl next to her hurriedly applied to Li Zijun to stay.

"Julie, they left 'yes', but you have to be polite! Don't forget, this is Prosius, it's the Dongyu Empire!" Li Zijun coldly dropped this sentence and walked out of the room without looking back.

"Old Fan, where is the 'liaison officer'?" Li Zijun saw Fan Lunding, who had been waiting outside the door, and immediately pulled him aside and asked.

"Abner is waiting in the council chamber!"

"Ed, Julie is the Queen Mother of a country after all, if you treat her like this, aren't you afraid that she will go to His Majesty Virgil to sue you?"

"It's too late for her to beg me now, how can she sue me?! Don't worry, I know it in my heart!" Li Zijun smiled mysteriously, pulled Fan Lunding and walked quickly to the council hall of the City Guard Mansion.

"I've seen the prince!" Seeing Li Zijun, Abner, who had been standing with his hands down, stepped forward half a step forward and bowed to him.

"No courtesy, no courtesy!" Li Zijun stretched out his hands to support Abner's arms.

"You are my savior, don't be so polite next time when no one is around!" Li Zijun patted Abner on the shoulder and pressed him to the seat next to him with a smile.

"Don't dare! The villain just did his part!"

"Don't care what you do, don't you know, when I realized that sitting across from me was the number one master of the Tibetan Empire, my urine almost didn't come out! Thanks to you, thanks to you for hearing the meaning of my words, and finding the Badwin and Church in time. Otherwise, I'll be seriously injured if I don't die this time! Thank you!"

"Lord Wang, you are serious! I think that even if there is no news from me, that sorrowful Lan will not be able to bear you!"

"So, it's more accurate to say that you saved me than that I saved you!"

Abner's words were neither sad nor joyful, and Li Zijun instantly understood the real reason why he had not been reused for so long - it was too positive!

"No matter who saves whom, the most important thing is that both of us are still alive!

"My lord has been guarding the border for many years, and I think I should also know something about the situation of the Turk-Hungarian Empire, I wonder if you can give me some advice?"

"I wonder what aspects of the Turk-Hungarian Empire you are interested in, my lord?"

Arrogant!

I didn't expect this guy to have a lot of problems! Li Zijun couldn't help but secretly shake his head in his heart.

"What is the current livelihood of the Turk-Hungarian Empire?"

Although Boyle and Julie have also made a lot of efforts, on the one hand, their ability is limited, and on the other hand, there are too many people who have demolished Taiwan, and the people's livelihood in the Turk-Hungarian Empire has not only not improved compared with before, but has a tendency to 'get worse'!"

"This time, they took the initiative to ask you to go and celebrate the marriage of their Emperor Luther, in addition to hoping to get our greater support, they also have the idea of using our strength to suppress their domestic instability! Empress Dowager Julie was attacked and imprisoned, in the final analysis, it was their internal contradictions that were 'at work'!"

"Why didn't you just kill Julie?

"Because she couldn't kill you! Kill Julie and Boyle, and if Julie is killed because she came to greet you, we Dongyu will always have some expression, which is tantamount to helping Boyle!

"But if she succeeds in assassinating you, blames the Empress Dowager Julie for this, and makes the illusion that you will die together, it will be a different 'picture'!"

"Boyle will be attacked on his back, and the Turk-Hungarian Empire will immediately fall into chaos!"

"Kind of sense, but I still don't understand, why did the Tibetan Empire do this?"

"You also said that the Turk-Hungarian Empire is now too busy to take care of itself, and it is impossible for it to have the energy to deal with the Tibetan Empire, so why did Youlan come to this troubled water?"

"She should know very well that once this matter is revealed, the Zangbei Empire will immediately become the enemy of the Dongyu Empire, and they will not have the intention of challenging us, right?"

"They don't have the strength, let alone the guts! The main reason why they do this is that there is a Monlin Empire between us!"

"I'm sure you've heard about it, Lord Wang, and like us, Meng Lin is also celebrating his victory!"

"A battle without losers!" Li Zijun remembered the scene when he learned about this situation, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

"The Tibetan Empire thinks that we have nothing to do with them, at least in the short term, so they have given us a 'harm to others and not to ourselves'!" (To be continued......
