Chapter 635: It's better to be happy alone than to be happy with all
On the day of the triumphant return of the five princes, the manhunt that made the people in the capital panic come to an abrupt end. Almost at the same time, the bright posts and secret posts that dotted the streets were gone.
The gloom that hung over the city of Filano faded, people began to take to the streets, and the capital soon returned to its former state.
"The fifth prince really did a good thing this time!" Looking at the bustling flow of people under the restaurant, Li Zijun couldn't help but feel a little emotional:
"You haven't seen the situation here a few days ago, not to mention people, even rats are difficult to see one! Thanks to the fifth prince's persuasion of His Majesty to retract his fate, otherwise, this capital is probably still the scene of 'door and birds', and we can't do it even if we want to find a decent place to catch the wind for you!" Li Zijun let out a long sigh, turned his head to Patrick and Bunyan behind him and shook his head with a wry smile.
Not long ago, Padwin and Bunian led Li Zijun's squire to Filano City. In order to give them a pick-up, and at the same time to reward the brothers who protected him during this time, Li Zijun took down the entire restaurant, preparing to let the people around him relax and relax.
"Young master, where can we afford it" Baldwin was nothing, Bunian couldn't sit still after listening to Li Zijun's words, he immediately stood up.
"Stand it, stand it!" Li Zijun smiled and pushed Bunian back into his chair.
"Everyone has been working hard lately! We also took advantage of this to come out and relax and fight tooth sacrifices. After a while, I let go of eating and drinking! I don't have to save money!"
"Young Master, that's what you said. I'm going to order food!" the 'monkey' jumped out of his chair with a wink.
"Young master, when have I been vague about inviting me to dinner?!, go and eat whatever you want, it's a big deal that I'll send you a little less money!"
"I don't believe you're so stingy! Come with me!" The 'monkey' smiled at Li Zijun, beckoned a few people, and walked out of the room together.
With so many people coming out to eat, there must always be someone who runs before and after. Originally, this person was supposed to be Felton, but the 'monkey' saw that Li Zijun had something to discuss with these people, so he took the initiative to assume the role of the central liaison.
"This stinky boy!" Li Zijun looked at the back of the 'monkey' and couldn't help but laugh and scold.
"Bunian, Filton has given you a brief introduction to the situation in the capital, right? What do you think we should do next?" Li Zijun turned his gaze to Bunian.
Bunian first exchanged a look with Filton, and after receiving a kind smile from Filton, he answered Li Zijun's question:
"I think the fifth prince is a little too anxious, and the sixth prince is a little too low-key this time!"
Li Zijun carefully figured out what Bunian meant. Nodding solemnly to him:
"Be more detailed!"
"The fifth prince urged His Majesty to change the order this time, on the surface, he has certainly become the savior of those ministers who have been implicated and may be implicated, but in fact. This also makes him the object of His Majesty's vigilance!" said this. Bunian paused slightly, he observed that Li Zijun's expression had not changed, and then he continued to analyze with confidence:
"His Majesty Virgil has not appointed an heir until now, why is that?"
Li Zijun understood very well what Bunian meant, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only smile bitterly.
The reason why the eldest prince rebelled was precisely because he saw this, and he couldn't wait!"
Felton looked at Li Zijun and smiled, answering Bunian's question in his place.
"That's the crux of the matter! Fred's choice was even wiser: follow the orders of only one person!"
"Bunian, did you come to trouble me today? Why don't I like to listen to what do you say?!" Li Zijun couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Bunian's gaze turn to him again.
When everyone saw Li Zijun's expression, they all laughed, and the atmosphere in the room immediately became much more relaxed.
"Something happened to Oliel, I think the sixth prince should have reacted this way, why do you say?"
"After so many years of waiting, the sixth prince has already seen through His Majesty's thoughts, and he knows very well that at least in the near future, His Majesty has no idea of handing over power. ”
"He may even suspect that the reason why the Ninth Prince and the Great Prince would do such a rebellious thing is because of the inducement or persecution of His Majesty!" As soon as Bunian said this, the room immediately fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Li Zijun.
"The speaker is not guilty!" Li Zijun smiled at Bunian and motioned for him to continue.
"With the lessons of the eldest prince and the ninth prince, the sixth prince is doubly cautious and does not dare to take half a step over the thunder pool!
"It's just that he's a little too careful! With the 'sudden rise' of the fifth prince, His Majesty urgently needs someone who can form a counterbalance to him in the court, and the sixth prince is of course the best choice! But his current appearance is obviously not satisfied with His Majesty!"
"Could this be the sixth prince in Taoguang?" Li Zijun's heart moved, and he asked.
This time, Bunian didn't answer Li Zijun, but looked at Felton with a smile.
"If it was Taoguang Yanghui, the sixth prince would not even be indifferent to his subordinates being locked up. Bunyan and I both think that the Sixth Prince was really scared this time!"
"But I'm afraid he won't be keeping a low profile for long, and Bunian guesses that he will receive an appointment from His Majesty today. Filton laughed and kicked the 'ball' back to Bunyan.
According to the intelligence, His Majesty Virgil seems to have changed his mind and is preparing to arrange a grand collection for the eldest prince. As things stand, this errand is likely to fall to the Six Princes and you. ”
"Is there anything else about me here?"
"Just as the sixth prince understands His Majesty, His Majesty also understands what the sixth prince is thinking! Without you, His Majesty will be worried that this scene will not be sung and will not be able to achieve the goal of suppressing the fifth prince. I'm afraid you're going to have to do it here!"
"In the state of the sixth prince, I'm afraid I'm just an errand boy this time! I'm going to trouble you two again. ”
"That's what we're going to warn you about!" said Bunian, looking at Felton again.
"We want you to be as hands-on as possible this time, and at least be positive about your appearance!" Felton smiled and picked up Bunian's words.
"Oh?" Li Zijun hesitated for a moment, nodded thoughtfully, and roughly understood what the two meant.
"You know about Elizabeth, right? Where do you guess the eldest prince will hide that box?"
"There is no doubt that Elizabeth is hidden in that box! With the character of the eldest prince, he would never leave such an important thing outside the palace. As far as I can guess, the box is hidden in his study, which is another reason why we encourage you to do it yourself. ”
Looking at the fox-like smiles on the faces of Bunyan and Felton, Li Zijun suddenly realized, and he pointed at the two of them speechlessly with a wry smile!
Just then, 'Monkey' walked in with a team of waiters. Soon, they used the dishes in their hands to fill the table in front of Li Zijun.
"Don't say anything, come on!" Li Zijun took the lead in getting up and raised the wine glass in his hand.
Almost at the same time as Li Zijun and the others were enjoying their drinks, Fred was pouring himself a drink in a small shop not far from the restaurant.
Fred didn't expect that his gradual estrangement from Li Zijun would affect his family life. After learning about his actions, especially his death, Elaine moved out of their love nest. Although he hadn't left Fred's mansion yet, he ignored him every day.
Elaine's attitude soon affected the rest of the people in the mansion, and there was an inexplicable estrangement between them and Fred!
Fred likes to be quiet, but he likes to be quiet, quiet, not deathly! In order to relieve the anguish in his heart, he came here again and again to pass the time. Every time he left the house, he would leave his whereabouts to Elaine, and he hoped that Elaine would come to find him, even if it was to scold him.
Not once! He seemed to turn into a cloud of air in Elaine's eyes, and Elaine completely ignored his existence!
Looking out the window at the people coming and going, Fred shook his head with a wry smile and raised the wine glass in his hand again.
"Dangdang!" Before the glass could touch his lips, there was a knock on the door.
"My lord, someone wants to see you?"
"Didn't I tell you everything, I didn't see anyone!"
"The general has such a big temper! Don't you want to see my old friend?"
Hearing the voice outside the door, Fred's face couldn't help but change, he had the heart to refuse, but thinking of the identity of the outsider, he couldn't help but secretly shook his head.
"It's you, please come in!" Fred motioned to the people around him to come over and open the door, welcoming visitors inside.
"I can't get up to greet you, please don't be surprised!" Before anyone could enter the room, Fred had already bowed deeply to the door.
"General, you are too polite! you and I are both in civilian clothes today, there is no need to be so polite!" the man walked quickly to Fred, and helped him up with his arms.
"Thank you, lord!" Fred didn't insist, and straightened up with the comer.
"It's better to be happy alone than to be happy together! you and I are fated to meet here today, how about we have two drinks?" Before Fred could say anything, the fifth prince had already sat down opposite him. (To be continued......)
