Chapter 479: Bow your head and apologize
"Vice Marshal Qiqi, around the time of dinner yesterday, the Aojin army we tracked down split into two here: one team headed east, while the other team continued to march north!" Feng Qi scout stood at the place where Li Zijun and Hope parted, reporting the military situation to Feng Qi's deputy commander Aubrey.
"It's just a little strange, according to the information we got before, this Aojin army should be less than 6,000 people at present. According to the analysis of the horseshoe prints that we have observed so far, it seems that they suddenly have three thousand more people!"
"Divide the troops?!There are 3,000 more people?!This place is already surrounded by Lord Victor, how can they conjure up 3,000 people out of thin air?It seems that Rogge and Hope are going to play a game for me out of nothing!" Aubrey smiled slightly, and quickly guessed Li Zijun's 'intention'.
Aubrey was an extremely good man, and unlike the instinctive rejection of Victor by some in the upper echelons of the military, he was very happy to accept Victor's leadership and command. As the commander of the south, Aubrey would never have been able to take his turn to do such a chore as chasing down the remnants of the Aojin.
But in order to further bring him closer to Victor, since Aubrey took the initiative to ask Ying to take on this task, he also appeared behind Li Zijun.
"Vice-marshal, there is another situation, they seem to have left here one after the other. ”
"The first 3,000 people to leave were basically moving at full speed, while the next 6,000 people were moving at a much slower pace, and they were even slower than the troops!"
"That's right!" Aubrey's eyes lit up at this, and a self-righteous smile appeared on his face.
"If I'm guessing correctly, it's Rogge and Hope trying to keep Maher safe. The choice made in desperation. They're starting to lose their baggage!"
"What do you mean, lieutenant marshal?" one of the generals beside Aubrey stepped up at the right time. He stepped forward and asked with a smile that tended to be inflammatory.
"Jerome, isn't that simple!"
"In order to get rid of our tracking. Rogge and Hope sifted through their 'remnants'. One of them will lead the soldiers of the first battle to protect Maher, and the other will lead the others to confuse our sight!"
"After all these years, I thought they should have grown a little, but I didn't expect them to be the same!" Aubrey shook his head after scorning a smirk.
"Marshal"
"How many times have you said that you call me 'deputy marshal'!"
"Yes, yes, the last general is wrong, the last general thinks this is when we are in the south!" Jerome also remembered Aubrey's taboo at this time, and hurriedly smiled and nodded.
"Forget it!" said Aubrey with a generous wave of his hand to Jerome.
"Adjutant Marshal. So what should we do next?" saw that Aubrey had 'forgiven' himself, and Jerome continued.
"Jerome, if Ben Shuai gives you five thousand soldiers and horses, do you have the confidence to destroy the elite of the six thousand proud gold?" Aubrey looked at Jerome and nodded, and suddenly raised his voice.
Jerome was stunned for a moment, and then a resolute expression appeared on his face:
"The last general swears to complete the task assigned by the deputy marshal!"
"Okay! We Fengqi need a brave man like you who can move forward!"
"Jerome obeyed the order: you immediately gather 5,000 soldiers and horses to pursue the fleeing enemy in the east, and be sure to destroy all the 6,000 proud cavalry. ”
"Yes, the last general will not be dishonored!" Jerome dismounted, fell on one knee before Aubrey, and took the arrow from the herald.
"Lieutenant Marshal, intelligence shows that they are no more than 6,000 people. I've destroyed too much on my side, will it affect you?" asked Jerome in a low voice as he got up and took a few steps forward to Aubrey's horse.
"There's always something wrong with the intelligence. It's normal to have three or five thousand more people, do you think there are still people who will be entangled with Ben Shuai in this matter?"
"Yes, yes, yes, but what if there weren't so many people here?"
"Stupid! this is the Aojin Empire, and there aren't that many soldiers. There will never be no shortage of ordinary people, right? If you have another 1,800 people, it shouldn't be a difficult thing for you, right?"
"Remember: things have to be done cleanly. Don't get me in trouble!"
"Don't worry, marshal! the last general must have done nothing behind!" said Aubrey, who Jerome was waiting for. He immediately smiled and reassured.
"Forgot again!" Aubrey glanced at Jerome with a pretentious look.
"Get out!"
After receiving Aubrey's instructions, Jerome happily ordered 5,000 men and horses to chase them in the direction where Li Zijun's 'remnants' had fled.
Seeing Jerome leave, Aubrey immediately reorganized his army and set off overnight, and he secretly swore in his heart that this time he must capture Prince Maher and repay Victor!
The night seemed to pass very quickly, and before I knew it, the dawn had sprinkled all over the land.
Li Zijun, who was standing in the light, closed his eyes slightly and opened his arms, enjoying this rare tranquility.
Suddenly, like Li Zijun, who had been transformed into a sculpture, his ears moved slightly, and then a faint smile appeared on his face, and he retracted his arms and slowly opened his eyes.
"Ed, as you expected, Charlotte is really starting to move!" Rogge saw Li Zijun and immediately walked over, making sure that no one was paying attention to him, and then he whispered this in Li Zijun's ear.
After seeing Diarra and Charlotte last time, Li Zijun felt more and more that there was something wrong with Charlotte's appearance, so he asked Rogge to secretly send someone to investigate the matter.
Li Zijun didn't expect it, but one day, Charlotte couldn't help but show his feet, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
"What did she do?" Li Zijun smiled and whispered to Rogge seemingly very casually.
Li Zijun's expression barely changed from just now, and people who didn't know the situation must have thought that he was just chatting with Rogge when they saw him, and no one would have thought that something big had happened to this team.
Li Zijun's ability to control the situation like this made Rogge nod secretly in his heart. Under the influence of Li Zijun, his slightly nervous mood seemed to gradually relax.
"She placed a note under a rock, and because of your warning, I neither exposed her nor touched it. ”
"Very well! Leave someone to tell me where the stone is, and then you lead the group out first. You have to pretend that nothing happened, and I'll catch up with you soon!"
"No problem, so what are we going to do now?"
"Come with me to meet our Miss Charlotte, I have a lot to talk to her!" Li Zijun suddenly showed a very playful smile on his face.
"Debunking her?"
"That's too early! This time I'm just going to talk to her!"
"Talking to her heart?! She is going to betray her own uncle, you don't think you can make her repent and reform, do you? What if she realizes that her identity is exposed, denies her to death, or takes other actions?"
"Don't worry, I promise she won't do anything after she sees me!" Li Zijun pretended to raise his eyebrows mysteriously, then smiled softly, and pulled Rogge towards Maher.
"General Ed, do you have any orders?" Seeing Li Zijun's sudden visit, Maher, Diarra, and especially Charlotte were all shocked, but on the surface, they all maintained mutual politeness.
"I'm here to apologize to Miss Charlotte!" As soon as Li Zijun said this, not only Maher, Diarra and Charlotte, but even Rogge was taken aback. They didn't understand what Li Zijun's intention was, and they couldn't help but look at him with puzzled eyes, listening to what he would say next.
"I was so reckless that day! Every time I think about the scene of that day, I regret it a lot! It's just that I never had the courage to apologize to Miss in person. ”
"But after Miss informed me about the situation of Fengqi's chasing soldiers behind me yesterday, I felt that I couldn't be silent anymore, otherwise, I wouldn't be a real man!"
"Miss Charlotte, today I sincerely apologize to you in front of His Royal Highness Maher, Lord Diarra and General Rogge, and I hope you can 'ignore the villain' and forgive me for my recklessness that day!"
Charlotte, who hated and feared Li Zijun, never thought that he would have such an expression anyway, and she didn't know how to respond to him for a while, and she couldn't help but be a little dazed.
"Miss Charlotte, can you take a step to speak?" Li Zijun said to Charlotte as he cast a pleading look at Maher and Diarra.
Seeing this scene, Maher and Diarra both thought that Li Zijun was going to further put down his body and apologize to Charlotte, and they both smiled and nodded at Charlotte.
After all, before breaking out of the encirclement, they still have many places to rely on Li Zijun, and it is not good for the two sides to remain in a stalemate like this.
At this time, Charlotte also reacted, and when she saw that Li Zijun was finally willing to bow to herself, her heart was full of pride. She naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity to see Li Zijun's embarrassment, so she immediately motioned to Li Zijun with her eyes to lead the way.
Li Zijun and Charlotte didn't go far before stopping, and to Diarra's frustration, they were standing just outside of his senses.
"Okay, what do you have to say here?" Charlotte now felt like a 'winner', and she raised her head slightly.
"Miss Charlotte!" Li Zijun's voice suddenly slowed to the extreme, which also made Charlotte's attention completely focused on his eyes.
"Miss Charlotte, I really know it's wrong! As long as you can forgive me, I promise that I won't fight back today!" Li Zijun's chattering apology couldn't help but pour into Charlotte's ears.
Charlotte didn't expect a man to be so verbose, which made her a little distracted......!
