Li Zijun and his party had just stepped into the border of the Dongyu Empire, and the news of his safe return to China had already spread throughout the entire capital as if it had planted wings.

During this period of time, under the deliberate propaganda of some well-intentioned people, Li Zijun has already become a national hero who saved the Dongyu Empire from danger! His bizarre experience over the past year has become the most talked about heroic legend of the Dongyu Empire after tea and dinner under the strong rendering of many times.

Just when the 'Ministers of Civilian Organizations' were designing rewards for Li Zijun, the upper echelons of the Dongyu Empire showed unusual caution. They all invariably try to talk about it in public as little as possible, and some have even begun to avoid the topic altogether.

For the fact that Li Zijun is about to appear in front of their eyes again, it seems that they feel sincere fear, such emotions have affected their extravagant life, and recently, even the number of gatherings in the capital has dropped a few levels!

Not long ago, Dongyu Bixia put the selection of the Minister of War back on the agenda. After Hobbs's death, who can enter the military department has always been the biggest suspense of the Dongyu Empire, and now, the mystery has finally come to be revealed.

In the southern battle, the eldest prince Waters, who held the defensive line, took the position of the strongest contender in the hearts of many people. Even Waters himself put on a jiashi that was imperative for this position!

But Waters didn't expect that Li Zijun would turn back to the Dongyu Empire at this time. Compared with Li Zijun's efforts to turn the tide in the north, Waters's capital for competition -- military exploits -- is a little pale! Almost instantly, Waters' dream of being a military minister became confusing.

Although Waters knows very well that with Li Zijun's age and qualifications, it is impossible for him to become his strongest contender, but Waters must not allow himself to lose in this matter.

In order to be able to seize the most ideal position before Li Zijun returned to the capital, Waters had to condescend to invite the fifth prince Dennis to come over the mansion.

Due to Dennis's strong opposition to Waters' marriage to Blanche, the fifth prince, who would go around the Grand Prince's Mansion every once in a while, has not appeared here for a while.

"Is Dennis really coming today?" Blanche asked, knowing what it meant for Waters to be in charge of the military department.

"Dennis has always been my most trusted brother and my most trusted ally!He should know very well that this is my critical moment, he will never tear me down at this time, he will definitely give me the strongest support he can give!" Waters said with some excitement as he clenched his fists.

"Lao Wu doesn't understand the relationship between us, and he strongly opposes our marriage, in fact, for my sake. And our argument was only between the two of us, and he never made any noise against me in the outside world. All these facts prove that Dennis is always on my side! Rest assured, he will come today, and he will agree to help me!"

"It's just that he won't want to see you, and I hope you can avoid it?" He's always had a grudge against you, and at this time, let's stop forcing him to accept our business!" said Wortza warmly holding Blanche's hand.

Blanche also understood the importance of the meeting to Waters, and she kissed Waters on the cheek before turning to leave the room.

As soon as Blanche left this room, Waters regained his eyes, he knew very well that he and Blanche had no feelings for each other, they just used each other! The previous performance, Waters was just to hide his true feelings, he couldn't let Blanche know too many secrets about him, which was another reason why he took Blanche.

"Lord Wang, the Fifth Highness has arrived!" Not long after Blanche left, Waters arranged at the door, waiting for the fifth prince's servant to hurriedly run in and report.

When Waters heard this, he took three steps and two steps, and walked quickly in the direction of the mansion gate, where he was going to greet Dennis himself today.

When Dennis arrived outside the gate, Waters had already walked out of the house, and instead of waiting on the steps as usual, he rushed directly to Dennis's horse.

"Big brother, how can the little brother be worthy of you to greet him personally? Don't you let the little brother make a fool of himself in front of everyone?" Dennis was taken aback by Waters at this move, and he hurriedly jumped off his horse to stop Waters from pulling the reins for him.

"Big brother has done something wrong, and he should come to you daoqian, but recently big brother is really busy, today big brother led you a horse, it should be the big brother who made amends to you!" Waters made a gesture to take the reins of Dennis's horse.

"Big brother, you and my brother don't need to do this, if you do this again, I will really turn against you!" Dennis certainly couldn't put the reins in Waters' hands, he was dead in front of Waters.

"It's okay not to let the eldest brother lead the horse for you, but you have to promise the eldest brother that you will no longer be angry with the eldest brother because of that incident!"

"You know, men have to be stupid a few times in their lives! you can forgive your brother?" Waters said to Dennis in an almost pleading tone.

"Big brother, it was the little brother who was wrong some time ago, and he shouldn't be entangled with the big brother in the matter of Blanche!" Seeing Waters like this, Dennis was a little embarrassed, and he said with a face full of shame.

"Don't say it, don't say it! Today our brother will get drunk and drink all the unpleasantness!" Waters was secretly happy to see Dennis's performance, his first goal had been achieved. Next, Walter walked straight into his study with Dennis.

"We two brothers have a good drunk today, so we won't let those subordinates get in the way of us, and my brother will pour you wine today!" Waters asked Dennis to sit across from him, and he took out two beautiful wine bottles from behind him.

"Big brother doesn't have 'Hundred Flowers Brew' to entertain you today, so I can only change to this wine!"

"How can you let the eldest brother pour wine for the younger brother, this errand of pouring wine is still the old rule, the younger brother comes!" Dennis smiled and snatched the bottle from Waters' hand.

"The 'burnt knives' of the Seine?" Dennis asked as he looked at Waters in surprise as he uncorked the bottle and immediately filled the room with a rushing aroma of wine.

"It's just 'burning knives'! How about it, is it still to your taste?"

"Big brother, you know my mind too well! Compared with the soft feeling of 'Hundred Flowers Brew', the hotness of 'Burning Knife' is more in line with my appetite!" Dennis impatiently gave Waters and himself a glass each, and after clinking glasses with Waters in a hurry, he took the wine glass and drank it all!

"Ah! Yes, that's what it feels like! Just one cup can ignite your whole body, straight to the heat of the sky, and let you instantly experience the pleasure of knowing all seven things! You can also clearly feel that this crystal clear liquid seems to be transformed into a 'fire snake' slowly swimming in your body. Dennis closed his eyes and enjoyed himself.

"Cool! This is the most important wine for a real man!"

"It's just that stinky boy either" Dennis paused slightly, he wanted to count Edlaide's strict control of the 'burning knife'. But then he thought of the main purpose of Waters inviting him over today, and he suddenly came to his senses and immediately closed his mouth.

"Don't say anything, don't say anything today! Our brothers are going to get drunk today!" Waters aims to reconcile with Dennis today and regain his unconditional support. Under this premise, of course, Waters would not take Dennis's unintentional words too seriously, and he took the initiative to change the subject, breaking Dennis's embarrassing situation.

"Okay, I'm going to have a good drink today, and I'm not going home. Tomorrow, if I can't make it to the meeting, please help me ask my father for a leave!"

"Why don't you get drunk and don't go home, big brother, can't you still have a bed for you to rest in!As for asking for leave, don't look for me, because I'll be even more drunk than you!" Waters drained his glass as he spoke.

Dennis was slightly stunned when he saw Waters' arrogant appearance, and in his impression, the eldest brother had not been so open-minded for many years. Although Dennis understands that there is a reason for Waters' performance today, he is still very touched that Waters can treat him like this. At this moment, Dennis couldn't help but think of the scene when the two of them were young, Waters took him up the mountain to catch birds and go down to the river to fish, and his eyes were slightly red.

"Then our brother will compete today to see who is the most drunk!" Dennis said, grabbing the bottle and pouring it directly into his mouth.

Not to be outdone, Waters grabbed another bottle and competed with Dennis.

In this way, the two of them kept searching the room for new bottles of wine as if they were crazy, and when they found them, they would pour all the liquid from the bottles into their stomachs.

In such a situation, they soon met under the table.

"Big brother, you're so stingy, you have to hide under the table and drink good wine!" Dennis said with a grin.

"When did the eldest brother be stingy with you, I was about to bring this bottle of wine to share with you, but the eldest brother found that the wine here was drunk by some bastard, and drank it all!" Waters said, as if suddenly he remembered something sad, and he began to cry with a whimper.

"Big brother, big brother, don't be sad! When I help you find out that it was the guy who stole your wine, I will cramp and skin him!" Dennis said, rolling his eyes under the table.

"You know what? Edlaide wants to take the position of our military minister, he wants to take the position of our military minister!" At this, Waters could no longer suppress the sadness in his heart, and cried loudly.

"Who? Who wants to steal your place? Who dares to take your place? Edlaide? That kid is okay to make wine for the master, if he dares to steal your place from the eldest brother, I will chop him up and stuff him in the wine jar and brew him as wine!" Dennis said and staggered to his feet.

"Big brother, you wait, I'll chop him up and make wine for you!" Dennis said as he stumbled towards the door of the study.

From where they were drinking to the door, it was only a dozen steps at most, but these ten steps still made Dennis fall six or seven times. But surprisingly, Dennis opened the door of the study just like that.

"Bring me my lord's wine jar, and ride it to chop people, chop it up and give my eldest brother wine to drink!" Dennis shouted incoherently outside the study.

With a "bang", Dennis failed to hold on to the door frame and slammed hard to the outside of the study.

The status of the eldest prince is already doomed, and he will never be without the service of his subordinates at any time. Although these subordinates were all kicked out of the study, none of them dared to leave easily.

This also made the fifth prince, who fell to the ground like a puddle of mud, be helped up as soon as possible. Almost at the same time, someone rushed into the study to take care of the eldest prince Waters.

"Don't wipe your face with a rag, bring my jar of wine, I'm going to ride it away." Dennis struggled to get to his feet, but every time he tried, he didn't succeed, which made it difficult for his subordinates to try to hold him up.

In the end, it was the butler who invited the five princes' subordinates, who reluctantly carried him into the carriage and his men brought him back to the palace.

"Didn't you say that the fifth prince was invited over to seek unity, why did you drink him like that?!" Blanche immediately rushed to Waters' study after hearing the news that Dennis had left the palace, and at this time Waters had completely returned to normal, and there was not even a trace of drunkenness in his eyes.

"Nonsense, it's very likely that you're unconscious at this time! I really don't see that your drinking is so good, he's already drunk like that, and you're still so sober!"

"I just drank the first glass of wine, and the next drink was water! Dennis did drink a lot, but he would never be like you said, and he wasn't drunk at all!"

"How is this possible, even if only a third of your bottle is real wine, it is enough to get a Spinosaurus drunk. Didn't Dennis drink the wine?"

"The fifth child did drink half of the wine here, but I assure you that he is definitely not really drunk, and I have never seen the fifth drink too much, not once!"

"Don't ask me why, I don't know, I just know it's a fact!"

"Did he agree to support us?"

"Half agreed. ”

"Half?" Blanche wondered.

"He only promised me to help me fight for the position of Minister of War, but he didn't promise me to deal with Edlaide!"

"Didn't he keep saying that someone would chop it up and make wine for you, wasn't that a hint that he was going to deal with Edlaide?"

"If he had such thoughts, there would be no need to pretend to be drunk today! You heard him say that he was going to chop up someone, but did you hear him say the name of that person? No, not a word!"

"This is also the usual practice of Lao Wu, he can help me fight and help me win, but he will never help me kill each other! This has always been what I value him more about. ”

"A woman's kindness is not a great thing!" said Blanche disdainfully when she heard Waters' words.

"Once the butcher's knife is raised to your loved ones, it is equivalent to a complete loss of the bottom line, do you think that at that time, there will still be people willing to attach themselves to you and work for you?"

"I want to be alone and quiet, and I'll talk about it tomorrow!" Waters raised his hand to stop Blanche from continuing, and politely kicked her out of the study.

From the moment Dennis entered the Grand Prince's Palace, the Ninth Prince Abraham and his governess had been watching there. Shortly after Dennis left, a detailed piece of information about his drunkenness was delivered to Abraham.

"It seems that the fifth brother has agreed to the boss and supports his decision to join the military department!" Abraham just glanced casually and handed this information to Hearst.

In contrast, Hearst looked at it much more seriously, he read this information three times over and over again, and Zuihou closed his eyes and pondered for a while before handing the information back to the ninth prince again.

"Mr. Hearst, what do you think about Dennis, should we try to prevent the Boss from joining the Army?"

"I don't think it's necessary!" Hearst shook his head, directly rejecting Abraham's idea.

"Although Bixia is in her early sixties, her body is still strong, and in the short term, it is unlikely that there will be a change of power in the Dongyu Empire! Bixia is introducing the position of Minister of War at this time for everyone to discuss, instead of directly appointing it as in the past, which is a kind of temptation in itself. If you sit in that position for a long time, you will always worry about the covetousness of the people around you!"

"In such a situation, the eldest prince jumped out first and created an atmosphere in the court to push him to the throne, intending to gradually realize his dream by mastering the military department, which is really a bit taken for granted!"

"This is a bit unwise, but it is also a helpless move on the part of the eldest prince!" Hearst said here and stopped, he looked at the sixth prince and smiled without saying a word.

"My eldest brother and I actually have similar problems! He is in his early forties this year, and I am not a few years younger than him, if my father continues to be attached to the throne, it should not be too much of a problem to sit in this position for more than ten years. But by that time, we will all grow old, and the meaning of the throne to us will change dramatically. I know that sir doesn't need to be jealous of me!" said Abraham, smiling.

"According to you, my father took advantage of the fact that Ed was about to return to China and threw out the position of Minister of War, which was just a test for our brothers. Wouldn't the boss just have to rejoice this time?"

To Abraham's surprise, Hearst shook his head, and he couldn't help but look at his own wise man with questioning.

"Even if there is no impetus from the fifth prince, it has become a fact that the eldest prince 'stays' in the military department!"

"What?" Although Hearst had changed the word 'in-possession' to 'occupancy', his analysis surprised Abraham.

This is Bixia's reward for the eldest prince for holding the southern line of the empire, and the compensation for the eldest prince's conscientious assistance to the government for so many years. It's just that the eldest prince will only get one tablet, and he is afraid that he will be farther and farther away from his ideal position!"

"The eldest brother can enter the military headquarters just by holding on to the southern front, so what kind of reward will Ed receive for turning the tide in the battle against Monlin, and then counterattacking the Turhungarian Empire and destroying their attack?" Abraham had always had an inexplicable liking for Li Zijun due to some intricate relationships, but when he suddenly realized that Li Zijun was about to become a strong contender for his throne, some evil thoughts still rose in his heart.

"This can also see Bixia's true attitude towards Marquis Edlaide! If Marquis Edlaide is added to the rank of knight this time, I will congratulate the prince, because it also means that he will not become a threat to the prince, but if it is the other way around, you are afraid that you will have to have another strong opponent!" After so many years, Edlaide's true identity is no secret in the upper echelons of Dongyu, and as Abraham's brain, Hearst knows even more. It is more accurate for him to say this not so much as to analyze Abraham as to remind him.

Seeing that after the sixth prince listened to his words, his eyes suddenly became a little dazed, Hearst sighed, said no more, got up and left.

"I have enough competitors, and one more Edlaide doesn't make much difference!" Abraham quickly adjusted his mind, drank the tea in front of him with a smile, and walked out of the garden easily.

"I don't know what kind of god Edlaide believes in, every time he can save the day! This time, Heller's stupid man used seven sword saints, not only did he not keep him in Monlin, but they were killed and seriously injured by Edlaide's kid! What a bunch of rubbish and humiliation!" When the ninth prince Timothy heard the news that Li Zijun had returned to China, he was so angry that he couldn't stop scolding Heller.

"It's not just the seven Sword Saints, I asked the Sword Saint Killer sent by the Chief Sect, but in the end, they only ended up with a feather!" Belinda said with some displeasure when she heard Timothy's meaning.

Although Belinda and Li Zijun have a dewy marriage, they are representatives of shili from different backgrounds after all, and their relationship has ended the moment they leave the tunnel!

And the strategy formulated by the Dark Moon God Cult is for Timothy to take on the work of 'dirty, messy, and poor', although Belinda is faintly entangled in her heart, but for the benefit of the entire group, she still has to personally give the order to assassinate Li Zijun.

It's just that Belinda's unbearability still helped Li Zijun a little, and the rescue team arrived in time and behind the evasion of the Dark Moon God Cult of Hor Feikan, there was her shadow.

Of course, in Belinda's debriefing to the head teacher, she pushed for the rescue team to appear in order to better hold back Li Zijun's footsteps, and the sudden invisibility of the Dark Moon God Cult in Khauerfekan was prevaricated by her under the pretext of avoiding participation in the conflict in the upper echelons of Monlin. These are actually the real reasons for Timothy's displeasure!

Belinda's actions against Li Zijun in the midst of the contradiction also made her even more dissatisfied with Timothy's sidekicks, and she coldly responded to Timothy's ridicule.
