Chapter 452: Collective 'Sickness'
"'Veterinarian', Marshal Conrad has sent someone to urge us again! What should we do, or move forward at this pace?" Ever since hearing the story of 'A Thorn', Marcus began to call Li Zijun by the title 'Veterinarian'.
"Is it an order or a letter this time?" Li Zijun didn't care what Marcus called himself, and he even seemed to like to be called a 'veterinarian'.
"It's still a letter, but this is the third letter from Marshal Conrad!"
"Leave him alone as long as it's a letter!
"Brother, you march forward twenty miles every day, can you still call it a march? The turtle crawls is almost the same!" Marcas couldn't help but be a little anxious when he looked at Li Zijun's indifferent appearance.
After the three princes, Marcus and Mahir, sent the joint letter, he listened to Li Zijun's advice and reduced the marching speed to the current twenty miles a day.
Initially, the other princes were unaware of the change in Marcas' team, and they continued to move at the same pace.
But only two days later, they noticed the abnormal behavior of Marcus and Li Zijun.
At first, Maher and the seven and eight princes stopped, and then the other four princes also stopped. Only after the seventh reserve had caught up did the other princes give the order to set off again.
Then, a scene that made Marcus feel inexplicable appeared: the other princes were like an appointment, and they used his marching speed as a benchmark, and how much he marched every day, and how many other princes' teams marched, as if they were all looking at him!
"'Veterinarian', why do they want to walk and stop with us, do you have any secrets hiding from me?" Marcas approached Li Zijun with a full stomach full of questions.
Li Zijun did not answer Marcus directly. Instead, he frowned and looked up.
Marcus thought that Li Zijun had seen something, and he also raised his head. It's just that he searched in the sky for a long time, and he didn't find any unusual changes.
Just as Marcus was about to ask Lee Zijun what he was looking at. Li Zijun suddenly sneezed.
"It's so comfortable!" Li Zijun muttered to himself, ignoring Marcas.
Marcus froze for a moment, then turned away with a wry smile.
Just a few days later, the princes received an invitation from Marshal Conrad almost at the same time, inviting them to go to the camp in front to discuss the plan to defeat Feng Qi!
The destination of the princes was the camp ahead, and Conrad's move was more accurate than an invitation.
It stands to reason that all the princes should be on the road quickly, hurrying up, and rushing to the camp as soon as possible, so as to live up to Marshal Conrad's appreciation and respect for them.
But what everyone didn't expect was this. After the other seven princes put down their invitations, instead of assembling the team, they jointly set their sights on the seventh reserve!
Seeing that the Seventh Reserve was still the same, they also maintained a march speed of twenty miles.
"'Young Master', 'you' are talking! Now they are all looking at us, they will go as fast as we go; if we don't go, they won't leave! If this matter is known to my father in the future, he thinks that we are taking the lead in fearing the enemy, and he will not have to clean me up fiercely!" Seeing that Li Zijun kept smiling at him and was silent, Marcas was a little annoyed. He reached out and grabbed Li Zijun.
"My previous agreement with you was to save your life and to keep this team as long as possible, and I have not broken the agreement between you and me now. As for the rest, it has nothing to do with me!" Li Zijun replied with a smile as he dodged Marcas.
"How could I have thought there were so many things at that time! Let's get the team out of here!"
Marcas's plea with Li Zijun is not because he wants to keep his promise not to participate in team management, but because few people in this team are listening to him now.
Marcas even doubted. As long as Li Zijun gave an order, the five leaders would not hesitate to tie him up and throw him in front of Li Zijun!
"No! If you're willing to pay me the rest of the purple coins, let me go. Then I don't have any opinion!"
You go? You go, how can those five fierce and vicious guys still listen to me? Marcus agreed with Li Zijun's thoughts, but for a slight flash in his mind, he was shocked into a cold sweat, and he hurriedly shook his head at Li Zijun with a bitter face.
"Since you don't want me to leave yet, then you have to obey my arrangement and continue to keep the team moving at a speed of twenty miles a day!"
"But?"
"There is no such thing!" Li Zijun's eyes showed extreme determination at this moment, but he soon regained his cynical expression.
"You don't have to be so downcast, as long as you do what I say, I won't be blamed by anyone!"
"Just what?"
"It's just that you have to waive my share of the food expenses with you!"
"So you're waiting for me here! Anyway, I didn't expect you to actually give me money!"
"That's great! You are so, and you should write back to Marshal Conrad at once, saying that you are sick because of the water and soil. Then, you ask someone to get you a carriage, and from today onwards, you will hide in it every day and pretend to be sick. ”
"Pretending to be sick, Marshal Conrad has to believe it, too! I just received his messenger, and my illness is coming too quickly, right?"
"Don't say that you just met Marshal Conrad's messenger, even if you saw Marshal himself, he would believe that you were 'really' sick!
"I seem to understand a little! If that's the case, why should I hide in the carriage?"
"Because someone will soon come to visit you ahead, they won't be as easy to 'fool' as Marshal Conrad, why do you have to pretend in front of them!"
"Anyone else coming?
"Those who approve of sending troops!"
"Oh!" Marcus finally showed a look of sudden realization, and his frown gradually relaxed.
"I'm pretending to be sick and stagnating, what if the other princes leave me and rush straight to the camp ahead?"
"Originally, I thought that one or two Highnesses would do this, but now it seems that this may be extremely low!"
"Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if they do leave us behind and go on our own, we won't have anything to lose. Isn't it?" Li Zijun looked at Marcas intently with deep eyes.
Under Li Zijun's gaze, Marcas immediately became a little flustered:
"Yes, yes, you're right, do I want to talk to Maher and them about pretending to be sick?"
"There are some things that require you to be more arbitrary! Don't be afraid to take the lead, whether it is a good leader or a bad leader, it is always a bad thing to take the lead at this time!" Li Zijun smiled at Marcas, turned and walked towards his tent.
"I'm a transparent person in front of this guy at all, and all my thoughts can't seem to escape his eyes!" Marcus looked at Li Zijun's back and muttered to himself a little helplessly.
"Thanks to me for inviting him!Thanks to him for not being my enemy!" Marcas couldn't help but smile with joy as he thought of his gambling invitation to Li Zijun.
"How is it, are they seriously ill?" Conrad seemed to be taken aback by hearing the reports of several messengers, and hurriedly asked.
"Before we came back, we talked to the doctors of Your Highnesses, and they all said that Your Highnesses have passed the most dangerous stage and are currently recovering, and I believe that they will be able to fully recover soon!"
"That's good!"
"But Your Highness is a golden branch and jade leaf, and their health must not be sloppy! Old Marquis, do you think this will work?"
"How about we gather all the doctors in the camp who are good at treating water and soil adaptation, and let them go to the highnesses to do a detailed examination to ensure that all the highnesses are safe?"
"That's how it should be!" Simpson agreed to Conrad's suggestion without thinking.
"General Lei Bin, there are some trauma doctors on my side, do you see if there are any doctors over there who are good at treating water and soil adaptation?" With Simpson's approval, Conrad turned his head and discussed some specific matters with Lei Bin.
"I have a few of these doctors on my side, and I'll transfer them when I get back. What else do you have to order, as long as it is for the sake of His Royal Highness, his subordinates will do their best!" Conrad's proposal was reasonable, and Lei Bin himself wanted to see why the princes would fall ill together by such a coincidence, and he immediately expressed his support for Conrad in this matter.
"I'm afraid there's another thing that will trouble General Lei Bin as well?" Conrad said this, with an embarrassed expression on his face.
"You say?"
"All the princes have fallen ill together, and it is only natural that we should send someone to offer our condolences. The old marquis is their elder, and it is not suitable for him to go, and I want to lead the whole army, so I really lack the skills, I think can I trouble you to go to see His Highness on behalf of a few of us?"
Lei Bin didn't want to leave the battlefield at this time in his heart, but he had to admit that he was the most suitable person for His Royal Highness to comfort the prince.
After weighing it repeatedly, Lei Bin finally nodded helplessly.
"What? General Lei Bin is coming! This guy doesn't buy anyone's account, what if he directly exposes my pretense of pretending to be sick?" Hearing that Lei Bin was coming to visit him, Marcas panicked a little again.
"If you expose it, expose it, what's so terrible about this?! Don't forget, you're not the only one pretending to be sick now, I don't believe that Lei Bin really has the guts to expose everyone here!"
"Did you already guess that my brothers would follow me and pretend to be sick, that's why you are so fearless?"
"Although it is not complete, it is not far away!"
"Don't drag it, tell me what to do?" (To be continued......)
