Chapter 445: Love Money, Fear of Death
"I'm going to ask the generals for their opinions, and I'll let you know when they've set a time?" the girl said, obviously to highlight the importance of Hope and Rogge, and to provoke the relationship between Li Zijun and them.
"That's right, then I'll be ready to wait for you tomorrow!" Li Zijun didn't seem to hear the other meaning of her words at all, and still maintained a polite smile.
Li Zijun's performance was somewhat unexpected by the girl, and her expression at this moment was a little sluggish.
At the moment when she was in a daze, Li Zijun nodded to her with a smile and closed his door casually.
"Hey!"
"Is there anything else?" Li Zijun didn't even open the door again this time, but just asked casually behind the door.
"No, no, I just wanted to say 'good night' to you!"
"Oh!" Li Zijun turned around and walked into the room after this, ignoring the girl outside the door.
"No politeness!" The girl outside the door really didn't expect Li Zijun to treat her like this, she stood in place for a while, and then scolded in a low voice.
"Squeak!" Before the girl could finish speaking, the sound of a vigorous tugging of tables and chairs came from the room, which startled her. Thinking that Li Zijun might rush out to question her, this girl seemed a little overwhelmed!
But she waited outside the door for a long time, and there was no movement in the room, so she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left quietly.
Listening to the girl's cautious and gradual footsteps, Li Zijun's face showed a little smugness: Little girl, you want to play with me. You're a little close!
But in the blink of an eye, Li Zijun frowned: What does Prince Maher mean by this?
I'm afraid it's not that simple! Li Zijun shook his head in understanding.
It seems that Prince Maher has placed considerable expectations on this test under His Majesty Emperor Aojin. He didn't want to be like Prince Marcas, and he was clearly prepared to use the war as an opportunity. Put yourself on a higher, bigger stage!
It is for this reason that Prince Maher did not hesitate to cooperate with his own competitors!
Of course, Marcus is a weaker competitor, but is he really as vulnerable as he appears?
Li Zijun smiled softly, he didn't have time or interest in judging Marcus in this regard, he only hoped that Marcus could really allow him to let go this time, and let him recover some interest for Belinda on Feng Qi's side first!
It's just that before that, Li Zijun must first ensure that he 'knows everything' about Marcas. Trust always has a 'quota', and Li Zijun doesn't want to lower the 'quota' ceiling that Marcas gave him.
Therefore. Li Zijun came to Marcas's room early the next morning and explained to him everything that had happened last night.
"Great!" Li Zijun really didn't expect that after Marcus listened to his own story, he would say these three words in the first sentence.
"I was still worried about asking someone to help you collect the battle reports ahead during this time, but now it's okay! With Maher helping us, I'm going to save a lot of trouble!"
"Lord, yesterday the girl also said: She will invite me over in a while to study the battle situation with Hope and Rogge. Do you say I'm going or not?" Li Zijun couldn't figure out what Marcus really thought, and he couldn't help but ask tentatively.
"Go, why don't you go?! Hope and Rogge are rare generals in our arrogance, and they have their advice. We're going to be safe!" Marcus said as he seemed to think of something, and he waved back at the others.
"But you have to be careful that I don't care about making wedding dresses for others, but we must not be used as cannon fodder for them!" Lowered his voice and whispered in Li Zijun's ear.
"Lord Wang, don't worry! The little one must always remember the four words 'safety first', and never easily cross the thunder pool by half a step!" Li Zijun smiled slightly. He bowed down and made a promise to Marcas.
"It's not easy!But you must not cross the thunder pool half a step! It's better not to even get close!"
"As long as you return safely with your army, the king will immediately fulfill his promise. No procrastination!"
"Yes!" Li Zijun and Marcus looked at each other, and together they burst into earth-shattering laughter.
"Senior sister. He really didn't even let you into his room?!" Just as Li Zijun and Marcos smiled heartily, Maher exaggerated looked at the girl who was turned away last night and exclaimed.
"Your Highness, you are mistaken! It's that I don't want to go in, it's not that he won't let me in!"
"I didn't expect Ed to be able to refuse a beautiful woman like you, this kid really impresses me!" Maher didn't seem to hear the girl say anything, he was still muttering to himself.
"What do you say, stinky boy? Why do you say like I was trying to seduce him last night?"
"I didn't say that, I didn't think so! It's just that I can't control what other people think!" said Maher, but his smile still betrayed his true thoughts.
"Stinky boy, you beg to be beaten!" the girl was so angry that Maher blushed and waved at him.
"Teacher, senior sister is bullying people again, please save your life!" Maher saw the girl's menacing appearance, and hurriedly hid behind Diarra, calling for help again and again.
"Charlotte, how old are you, why are you still so unruly, don't you stop quickly!" Diarra's eyes snapped, and she stopped the girl.
"Uncle!" Charlotte was visibly in awe of Diarra, and although her face was full of resentment, she finally stopped chasing Maher.
Maher seemed to be particularly fond of teasing Charlotte, and when she stopped, he immediately grimaced at her several times behind Diarra!
"Uncle, look at him!" Charlotte was so angry with Prince Maher that she didn't realize the value of Maher's innocence!
Charlotte's ignorance does not mean that Diarra is also ignorant, he has long been aware of Maher's special affection for Charlotte, and he is secretly promoting the development of this emotion. This time, Charlotte was also summoned here, and Diarra hid the intention of matching the two.
"Alright, alright, don't make any fuss! Charlotte, tell me, what do you think of Ed, this kid?" Diarra motioned for the two to sit back in their seats, turned to Charlotte and asked seriously.
"Last night, I was looking for a flaw in him from the moment he opened the door, but I couldn't find a chance to do it until he closed the door. Based on this, I dare to conclude that his personal strength must be far above mine!" After sitting down, Charlotte's expression also became serious, and she carefully 'flipped through' her own memories, solemnly continuing to analyze Li Zijun for Diarra and Maher.
"He's very good at controlling his emotions!"
"When I first met him, I deliberately confused my identity and made him misunderstand that I was from the side of His Highness Marcas. I thought he would be surprised when he showed my side!"
"But what I didn't expect was that he was only stunned for a moment, and his expression quickly returned to normal, and he didn't express any displeasure to me afterwards. I don't see much of his behavior in other peers!" Charlotte said, casually glancing at Maher.
"How can I hear you say that all he has is good, and he has no shortcomings?" heard Charlotte praise the other man like this, Maher was jealous.
"I don't see Ed's shortcomings, but I have found a lot of other people's shortcomings!" Charlotte saw that Maher was unhappy, and she couldn't help but be happy in her heart, and immediately took advantage of the situation to ridicule him.
"Get down to business, don't be kidding!" Before Maher could interject, Diarra had already grimaced her face.
"Ed doesn't seem to be very serious, and he accepted our offer without the consent of His Highness Marcus!" said Charlotte, deterred by Diarra.
"Can we leak this information to Prince Marcus so that there is a rift between them and they go their separate ways?"
"Your solution may work for others, but for my brother!" Maher said as he shook his head with a wry smile.
Not only would he not be unhappy with Ed about it, but on the contrary, he would be very happy to see Ed's decision. Because it will save him a lot of money for gathering intelligence!"
"Among our brothers, he is definitely an other, he doesn't care who will sit on the throne of Aojin in the future, he only cares about money!
"He's a prince, he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing!" Charlotte asked as she looked at Maher in bewilderment.
But one thing is certain: he has no interest in politics! Except for business, he almost never associates with the powerful in the DPRK and China. Sometimes, I think he's more like a merchant than a prince!"
"He approached Ed this time, and I believe he was just trying to get through his father's 'test' smoothly. ”
"My father's request that we have to act with our own team may not be much to the others, but for my brother, it is definitely a great adventure!"
"In addition to loving money, he is afraid of death!"
"He's afraid of death, why should he go to Essex for training?"
"In order to avoid my father's 'test'! Don't you think that our guards are particularly strong this time? They were all bought by my brother at a great price!"
"He thought that with the help of them, he should be able to evade his father's 'conscription', but he didn't expect it!" a smug smile suddenly appeared on Maher's face. (To be continued......)
