Chapter 37 Jealousy
Li Zijun was about to rush to the camp mansion for a ball, and Higgins and Bob appeared in front of the Hou mansion together.
"General Higgins, Big Brother Bob, why do you have time to come to me together?" Li Zijun greeted them warmly when he saw them.
"Hey, as soon as I heard the title, I could see the difference between us, so it's no wonder that Master Hou didn't come to me for so long when he arrived in the capital!" Higgins said with a deliberate sigh.
When Li Zijun first arrived in the capital, he sent someone to give Higgins a gift. It's just that Higgins is now a close minister of the emperor, and although his position as deputy commander of the Great Interior is exactly the same as that of Bob back then, the gap between them is still quite huge.
Bob only got a seat because of the relationship between the six princes, while Higgins got real rights. At present, Higgins's status in the eyes of Emperor Bixia is only behind Camp and Bellok, and Li Zijun is worried that it will affect Higgins, so he did not rashly visit him.
Higgins certainly understood Li Zijun's thoughts, and he said this today just to show his intimacy with Li Zijun.
"The two elder brothers won't just come to the door to ask for guilt at this time, right?" Li Zijun hurriedly changed his words.
"The eldest brother said that he hadn't seen Master Hou for so many years, and he wanted to take advantage of the journey to the dance party to come over and catch up with you. "Although Higgins and Bob are not in the same camp, their personal relationship has always been very good, and Bob has called Higgins 'big brother' for more than ten years, and the affection can also be seen.
"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, the two brothers invite first!" Li Zijun hadn't figured out the intention of the two of them yet, but he couldn't refuse their invitation, and followed them to Camp's mansion.
At the same time that Li Zijun and the three of them walked into the camp mansion, the gentlemen in the capital had already gathered together in the camp mansion.
"Bulvo, haven't you always bragged about how powerful your martial arts are? This time your old rival Kate has returned from his studies, and it is said that he is about to be promoted to a senior swordsman!, how about it, would you like to try it with him?" asked Belloc's son, Clemens, looking at a tall and handsome young man beside him.
Hearing Clemens' words, Bulvoo glanced contemptuously in Kate's direction and sneered disapprovingly. I don't know weishenme, this bulvo gives people a feeling full of evil spirits!
"What if he reaches the level of a high-level swordsman, as long as he dares to come and provoke me, I can still beat him all over the ground!" Although Bulvoo was serious, no one really wanted to believe his words, and after they "cut" together, they turned their eyes to the young and beautiful girls on the dance floor.
When Higgins and Bob arrived, they both had their own circles of friends to socialize with, and they said hello to Li Zijun and went their separate ways.
During this time, Li Zijun also made some friends in the capital, and he greeted them casually, but his eyes were unconsciously searching for Winnie's figure.
People are like this sometimes, knowing that everyone can't be together, but they will become more and more unable to let go of each other.
Today, I don't know where all of Vinnie's best friends have gone, leaving Winnie alone in a corner.
Li Zijun saw Winnie's somewhat haggard face, sighed, and involuntarily walked to Winnie's side.
"How are you doing?" Li Zijun said after standing behind Vinnie for a while.
Hearing Li Zijun's voice, Winnie's body shook significantly, and she slowly turned around.
"Okay! How are you?" Winnie's answer was a little restrained, without the ease she had when she and Li Zijun first met.
"Not very good!" Facing Winnie, Li Zijun felt a pang in his heart, and after saying this, he didn't know what to say, and he didn't say hello to Winnie, and turned around and left alone.
When she heard Li Zijun's words just now, Winnie slammed it, she immediately turned her head and wanted to say something, but she only saw Li Zijun's back, watching Li Zijun gradually move away, Winnie's tears couldn't stop falling.
Seeing the scene of the two meeting, Bulvo's face became extremely ugly!
Bulvo's father was Dalton, the Minister of Commerce of the Dongyu Empire, who had been Alec's deputy for a long time. Dalton was very cooperative and helped Alec a lot. Alec has always admired Dalton's work style, and the two have gradually become good friends in private.
However, after Belinda appeared, Dalton began to choose to move closer to the Nine Princes, and his political ideas gradually disagreed, and the two gradually drifted apart.
Alec and Dalton have parted ways, but they have been dating for more than ten years, and their children have developed a deep friendship during those ten years. Neither of them deliberately interfered with the contact between their children, so Bullvoir has always been in contact with White and Winnie. Even when the two families were close, Alec and Dalton thought about matching Bulvoo and Vinnie, but it was only later that the relationship between the two families changed, and the matter was put down.
Bulwer has always been in love with Winnie and has never given up her pursuit of her! But Winnie is very disliked by Bulwer's gloomy personality, and she always deliberately maintains a relationship with Bulwer.
Some time ago, Winnie was grounded, and Bulvoo was of course curious, but after he learned the truth, he almost found Li Zijun to duel directly.
Although Li Zijun and Winnie didn't say a few words when they met this time, Bulvo saw the lingering affection in Winnie's eyes when he looked at Li Zijun, which also made him feel even more difficult to accept, and he took the wine glass in front of him and drank it all.
Clemens, who was observing Bulvo, saw Bulvo's appearance and nodded slightly at a subordinate behind him, who came over with two glasses of wine.
"Bulvo, I see why you're a little unhappy today!Can you tell my brother that I'm Weishenme?" Clemens took two glasses of wine and handed them to Bulvo.
"It's nothing, I just want to drink!" Bulvo took the glass from the Clemens Empire and drank it violently.
"Okay, brother, I'll drink enough with you!" Clemens smiled imperceptibly as he drank the wine.
Bulvo drank a few more glasses, and gradually he felt a fire in the dantian, and this fire became hotter and hotter, as if it had set his whole body on fire.
Clemens saw that it was almost there, and gave a look to a maid standing next to Winnie, who was carrying a large plate of food, and suddenly mixed garlic at her feet, and this plate of food fell on Winnie's body, and Winnie was dressed in an emerald green dress, which was stained miserably by the food!
"Why are you so careless, don't you want to live?" Seeing this, Kemp's daughter Helen hurriedly ran over, helping Winnie to straighten her clothes while pointing at the maid and scolding.
"She didn't mean it, just a piece of clothing, it's okay!" Winnie said as she saw Helen's murderous eyes, and pleaded with the maid.
"If it weren't for Sister Winnie's intercession, I would have to kill you today! Get back to me!" Helen saw that Winnie was no longer pursuing the matter, and sent the maid away.
"Sister Winnie, will you come with me to the back and change clothes?"
Hearing Helen's words, Winnie nodded and followed her to the back.
"Winnie is really beautiful, and she would be even more beautiful when she wasn't dressed!" Clemens whispered in Bulvo's ear.
If it were usual, Clemens said that about Winnie, and Bulvoo would definitely turn against him. But today, without knowing Weishenme, Bulvo actually had the urge to peek at Winnie, and he walked behind Winnie and Helen without hesitation.
"This Bulvoo is so daring, he even dares to peek at Miss Winnie's change of clothes!"
Li Zijun was observing the food on the table, and suddenly heard two people whispering next to him, and they occasionally showed a lustful smile. Li Zijun also saw the scene where Winnie's clothes were soiled just now, and he hurriedly looked for Bulvo's figure.
At the moment when Li Zijun looked up, he saw Bulvo staggering out of here. didn't have time to think about it, Li Zijun immediately pushed away the crowd around him and chased him out directly.
Helen took Winnie back to her small building and immediately told Winnie to take off her dress.
"Sister Winnie, the smell of your body, even if you change your clothes, I'm afraid you can't get rid of it. Why don't you do this, I have ready-made hot water here, you can take a shower directly, and I'll let someone change into your new underwear?"
"Sister Helen, you won't have anyone here, will you?" Hearing Helen's opinion, Winnie was very moved, but she still asked uneasily.
"There are only a few people living here, and there are only a few people living here, and generally no one will come, even my brothers dare not go upstairs, you can rest assured!"
With Helen's assurance, Winnie took off her underwear and walked into the bath.
At this time, Bulvo had already come downstairs to Helen, but Li Zijun, who was following behind, was a little hesitant. After all, this is the place of Kemp, if you rush up like this, will it cause any misunderstanding?
But at the moment when Li Zijun hesitated, Bulvo had already stepped up the stairs, and the most terrifying thing was that Li Zijun also heard Helen's voice.
"Sister Winnie, you wash it first, and I'll find you underwear!"
Winnie is taking a bath! Li Zijun didn't dare to delay any longer, and quickly rushed downstairs, using the pillars of the building, and stood in front of Helen's door with his hands and feet.
"Sister, you can wipe your body with this sweat towel!"
Hearing the sound inside, Li Zijun subconsciously glanced inside, and at this moment, the curtains in Helen's room suddenly fell. Li Zijun saw Winnie getting up from the bath, waiting for Helen to throw the sweat towel over, and the eyes of the two met at this moment!
"Ahh Li Zijun only felt that there was a white expanse in front of him, although he didn't see anything clearly, he could still be sure that Winnie was not wearing any clothes, and he hurriedly turned around.
At this moment, Bulvo staggered towards Li Zijun.
Thinking of this, Li Zijun stood in front of Bulvo.
"Bulvoo, this is Miss Helen's boudoir, you can't go there!"
"weishenme, you can go over, I can't go over! I just want to go, I see what you can do to me?" Bulvo was already carried away by lust at this time, and he wanted to push Li Zijun away and walk over.
Hearing Li Zijun's words, Winnie's face was flushed with shame, but she didn't know Weishenme, and she was faintly excited in her heart!
"Bulvo, if you dare to go further, I'm going to be rude to you!" Li Zijun was a little angry when he saw Bulwo's appearance.
"You're welcome, I'd like to see how you can be polite to me?" Bulvo reached out and grabbed Li Zijun.
Li Zijun still thought that Bulvo was just drunk and rude, so he let go of Bulvo's arm and gently pushed Bulvoo out.
"Do you dare to do it with me?" Bulvo was pushed aside by Li Zijun's strength, his mind was a little sober at this moment, he saw that it was Li Zijun who was standing in front of him, he was even more angry, and rushed towards Li Zijun.
Although Li Zijun is only a high-level swordsman, he is not afraid of any martial artist below the sword master in terms of skills, and he should take on Bulvo, and it is not very laborious. This made Kate and Clemens, who were about to rush over to help, seem a little redundant, and they hid their figures.
After a long time of attacking, Bulvoo was finally enraged, he pulled out the sword under his ribs, and began to urge the fighting energy in his body.
Seeing that Bulvo's entire body was shrouded in dark blue fighting aura, Li Zijun began to be a little worried.
Although Li Zijun and Bulvoo are both high-level swordsmen, there is still a difference between the two. Looking at the color of Bulwo's fighting spirit, it is obviously higher than Li Zijun.
If this was a normal duel, Li Zijun had a way to deal with Bulvo, even if he didn't have a weapon in his hand like now, he wasn't worried.
But now it is different, Li Zijun's purpose is to block Bulvo, and he must not be allowed to see Vinnie's appearance, which means that Li Zijun must stand here and let Bulvoo attack. This was a little difficult for Li Zijun, and his expression was not as relaxed as it was just now. Kate and Clemens, who had noticed something wrong, also hurried here, but in any case, they couldn't catch up until the end of Bulvoir's attack.
Seeing Li Zijun's expression, Bulvoo showed a smug smile and swung his sword at Li Zijun.
Li Zijun also picked up the fighting spirit of his whole body and rushed towards Bulvo.
There was a collision of "ping pong", and when the two separated again, Li Zijun already had two more scars on his body, and blood flowed out from the corners of his mouth.
Bulvoo was about to attack again when he saw a beam of wind blades flying towards him.
At this time, Li Zijun couldn't care about hiding his strength, and the wind blade in the sky threw it to Bulvo as if he didn't want money.
Seeing such a change, Kate and Clemens also restrained their steps, and in the face of such a dense wind blade, they were not sure to retreat, so they had to hide backwards.
However, Bulvo was not so lucky, as the Wind Blade forced him to retreat, eventually forcing him down the stairs.
With more room to maneuver, Li Zijun heard the sound of the door opening behind him again, and knew that Winnie had already put on his clothes, and he rushed towards Bulvo.
Except for the battle with Belinda, Li Zijun has never been so embarrassed, he was forced by Bulvoo to have no power to fight back. Relieved of the worries behind him, Li Zijun certainly couldn't let go of Bulvo so easily, he surrounded Bulvo, and used magic and martial arts to attack at the same time.
Bulvoo is indeed superior to Li Zijun in terms of vindictiveness, but it is definitely not overwhelming. In terms of speed and skill, the gap between him and Li Zijun is too big, and after just a while, Bulvo can't cope with it.
"Hou Ye's men have mercy!" Bulvo's father shouted as he hurried to this side.
By this time, other people had already discovered the situation here, and many people were running in this direction.
Although Li Zijun didn't know Dalton, the people who can appear here today must not be idle people! Thinking that Bulvoo didn't see Winnie after all, Li Zijun took a few steps back and prepared to let Bulvoo go.
Li Zijun's concession did not result in a truce with Bulvo, but instead gave Bulvo a chance to breathe, and Bulvo suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood into the sword in his hand, and the red blood mist slowly seeped into the sword.
Seeing such a strange scene, Li Zijun was cautiously on guard.
At this moment, Bulvo showed a cruel smile, the color of his fighting spirit turned into lilac at this moment, I don't know how he stimulated it, the fighting spirit actually rose to the level of a great sword master, he brandished his sword and continued to rush towards Li Zijun.
It's just that the situation at this time is very different from just now, and Li Zijun is not fighting hard with Bulvo. He knew very well that Bulvo himself did not have the strength of a great swordsman, he just used some kind of secret method to stimulate the potential of his body. Once this secret method is over, Bulvoo will become a lamb to the slaughter!
Bulvoo saw Li Zijun's performance and understood that he had seen through his own problems, but at the moment he couldn't stop and continued to attack Li Zijun desperately.
"Bulvoir, you stop me!" Dalton shouted from the periphery, but Bulvoo didn't seem to hear his father's voice at all now, and all he had left in his mind was attack, attack!
After a while, the sword in Bulvo's hand became heavier and heavier, and his speed slowed. Li Zijun was about to let Bulvo go again, but then he saw Bulvo's extremely resentful eyes. Li Zijun couldn't suppress the anger in his heart anymore, and after snatching Bulvo's sword, he kicked him out. After Bulvo fell to the ground, he was unable to get back up on his liliang.
Dalton glanced at Li Zijun coldly and took his son away.
"Ed, are you alright?" asked Winnie, seeing Li Zijun covered in blood, running to his side despite everyone's gaze.
"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Li Zijun looked at the anxious Winnie and said with a smile.
"Winnie was really sorry just now, I don't know weishenme, when I throw you a sweat towel, the curtains will fall off!If it weren't for the Marquis of Edlaide who saw the situation and blocked Bulvo outside, my sin would have been great!" Helen suddenly ran to Winnie's side and apologized.
As soon as Helen's words came out, the eyes of the people around her changed, Winnie's appearance was obviously just taken a shower, this matter did not require too complicated analytical skills at all, and it could be thought that Li Zijun must have seen something.
At this time, after Winnie and Li Zijun looked at each other, their faces turned red! Everyone had a look of sudden realization, only Alec's face became extremely ugly!
"White, Winnie, let's go home!" Alec said as he said goodbye to the others and walked straight out of Camp's mansion.
Winnie turned back step by step and reluctantly left.
After Winnie left, Li Zijun couldn't stand the eyes around him anymore, and after saying goodbye to Kemp, he also left here.
There was such a situation at the ball, everyone lost interest in dancing, stayed for a while, and left one after another.
The prom was over, but everything that happened at the prom spread quickly. Countless annotations have been added to the fragrant meeting between Li Zijun and Winnie in the capital, and Zuihou even has rumors that Li Zijun entered the room and had a tryst with Winnie.
There are such rumors, if Jenny and the brothers don't say anything more, it will be too unfair and peaceful for Vinnie! Jenny took Li Zijun to the door many times to ask to see Alec, but what they didn't expect was that they had been rejected by this stubborn old man. Although Alec also knew that the rumors had nothing to do with Li Zijun, he just didn't want to accept Li Zijun's proposal in this way, and the matter was dragged down.
Although Alec has not let go, but the discerning people understand that Winnie has been seen naked by Li Zijun, although Li Zijun denied it afterwards, but almost no one believes his statement, Winnie's marriage to Li Zijun is a foregone conclusion! At this point, the matter should basically be over, but what everyone didn't expect was that the Minister of Commerce Dalton sued Li Zijun in front of the emperor. The reason was that Bulvo prevented Li Zijun from peeping, so he was seriously injured by the angry Li Zijun.
When the incident happened, only Li Zijun and Bulvoo were present (Kate and Clemens can't come forward at this time!), what happened, no one can say clearly! In the face of Dalton's backbite, Li Zijun really couldn't find any evidence to prove his innocence. After all, it was Bulvoo who was injured, and it looked more like a victim than Li Zijun.
The emperor was in the know, and of course he knew what was going on, and he still felt sorry for Dalton and Bulvo, and Zuihou still conditionally supported Dalton's accusation. The emperor interpreted this incident as two young men fighting for the wind and jealousy, and Zuihou fought hard. Dalton also knew in his heart what was going on, he did it just to salvage some reputation for Bulvo, and he was happy to see the emperor define this matter so much, and he didn't delve into it anymore.
It's just that the emperor's punishment of Li Zijun is somewhat intriguing! He actually punished Li Zijun for serving as a magistrate in the capital for three months, focusing on controlling the various problems that have arisen in the capital recently due to the influx of a large number of outsiders.
If you make a mistake, you will be given back to an official, and this kind of punishment will make everyone break their glasses!
