Chapter 331: Surprise and Joy
"Don't just say nice things about this stinky boy! He has those powerful weapons, and he has been hiding them, what the hell does he want to do? Is he ready to turn his gun on me one day?" Fergil suddenly changed his face and stared at Daniel and asked.
This time, in addition to the bed crossbow and the hand crossbow that he had already reported to the imperial court, the Grand Duke only used two weapons that he called 'catapults' and 'hot air balloons'. ”
"While both of these weapons shine in the Battle of Ogden, I think they're more like the idea of being forced out on the verge of a grand business!"
"Because before the two weapons were officially put into service, the Grand Duke had improved them several times, and it was not finalized until a few days before the attack on Ogden. From this, it can be inferred that these two weapons are not mature for the Grand Duke!"
"You've only been with him for a while, why did you come back and talk to him like that?" Hearing Daniel's words, Fergil's face softened a lot, but he didn't seem to let Daniel and Li Zijun go like this, and continued to ask.
"What Wei Chen said is true, and he will never dare to be biased! Please also ask Bixia to be clear!" Fergil's words were already heart-wrenching, and Daniel hurriedly got up to show him his attitude.
"Sit down, sit down, when did I say I didn't believe you?!" Virgil smiled at Daniel, too, feeling that his words were a little heavy.
"What is the relationship between this kid and the generals of the Southern Legion?"
"Da Ping often rarely has contact with the generals of the Southern Army, and even if there is anything, he mostly coordinates and communicates with him through General Kemp. Daniel understood that Virgil's question seemed like small talk. In fact, he was asking whether Li Zijun had the intention of wooing the Southern Army, and his answer became cautious.
"Count him smart!"
"As far as I've heard. He seemed to have had a very unpleasant quarrel with the generals of the forbidden army some time ago, what do you think about this?"
"I've heard a little bit about it. It seems to be the most intense stage of the battle between the Grand Duke and the Yaksa, and several generals of the forbidden army were killed one after another. At that time, it happened to be not long after the attack on the Duke's Palace, so there were rumors in the barracks that this was the Grand Duke's personal vendetta!"
After learning of this situation, in order not to affect the unity, the Grand Duke once invited all the generals of the forbidden army to his camp and specially explained the matter. ”
"In the Battle of Ogden, the Grand Duke won the trust and respect of all the generals with his practical actions of charging forward! The misunderstanding that was not very big has already been resolved, and this matter is far from being as serious as you have heard!" After the battle of Ogden, they fought side by side. Both Lee and Daniel were extremely impressed with each other. There is no entanglement of interests between them, let alone an alliance, they just appreciate each other, which makes Daniel consciously or unconsciously defend Li Zijun.
"This bastard boy!" Virgil seemed dissatisfied with Daniel's statement, and he suddenly cursed angrily.
In fact, Virgil knew very well that the few generals of the forbidden army who fell under the butcher's knife of the Yaksa were nothing more than victims that Li Zijun used to take revenge on the eldest prince! It's just that both sides of the black hand against each other are his sons, and since he has kept silent about the eldest prince's sneak attack on the duke's palace, it is not easy to openly accuse Li Zijun of killing people with a knife. In addition to secretly sending people to warn both sides: this kind of fire fight should not escalate. On the surface, he is really bad to say, this is the most fundamental reason for his anger and helplessness!
"Don't talk about that! Look at it, this is an official letter that Ed has just sent to ask for merit for himself. Virgil took the document from the table and handed it to Daniel.
Hearing that Edlaide actually took credit for himself, Daniel couldn't help but be slightly stunned. But after reading the official document, he completely understood Edlaide's intentions.
"Increasing the territory of meritorious nobles is not a precedent for us Dongyu, with the Grand Duke's military exploits this time. There is nothing wrong with such a reward!, but it seems a little inappropriate for him to offer it?" Daniel did not know what Virgil had really meant by letting him see the letter. He could only speak ambiguously.
"Don't tell me you can't see it, this kid weishenme is playing this trick!"
"The merit is high!"
"This letter is showing off these four words to me throughout!
"I was still thinking about making him king. Now, I don't need to waste this painstaking effort!Isn't he trying to show his loyalty to me, then I'll give him all three cities, and if there is any change in the Yaksa in the future, I'll be the first to ask him!" Fergil was outwardly indignant and justified, but Daniel noticed that Virgil was visibly much more relaxed when he said this.
It seems that Edlaide does make Virgil feel threatened, but this feeling of being 'threatened' is still in its infancy, otherwise he would not have been able to assign all three cities to Edlaide's name.
"Is there anything else I want to trouble you?" Daniel was still secretly rejoicing in Edlaide's strategy, when he suddenly heard Fergil's words change sharply.
"Bixia is polite, what do you have to say?"
"After Ed returns to Beijing, please take the time to remind him that no matter what grievances he suffers in the future, I will stand up and support him! Don't act as flamboyant and reckless as before!" Virgil said with a sigh.
Only then did Daniel understand the real purpose of Virgil's invitation to come, it turned out that he wanted to remind Edlaide through himself not to continue to entangle with the Great Prince!
The fact that the Grand Duke of Edlaide took the initiative to ask for permission and that he would become the new lord of the three cities of Kunsai, Dongwa, and Simba soon spread among the high society of Filano City.
Although these three cities are not big, their significance is extraordinary! As a transit point for the Yaksians to sell herbs to the outside world, the wealth contained here is self-evident! It is only because of the Yaksa people's riots from time to time that the merchants love and fear these three cities!
But this time it's different! Once Edlaide becomes the master of these three cities, the risk index here will plummet, and the corresponding profits will become more lucrative. The aristocracy, eager to make a fortune, began to feel their adrenaline rising, and their only concern was whether the Grand Duke of Edlaide would continue the economic policies of the Seine.
Unlike the others, the eldest prince was very dissatisfied with the news, and drank sullen wine in the mansion one by one!
"Edlaide is just three more enclaves, are you so nervous?" Blanche said disdainfully when she saw the eldest prince like this.
"What do you know?! Father knew that Edlaide was using the hands of the Yaksians to eradicate dissidents this time, but he didn't say a word about it, isn't he obviously biased in favor of Edred!"
"Virgil Bixia doesn't know about your sneak attack on the Duke's Palace, isn't he also pretending to be deaf and dumb! Compared to you hurting his family, he only killed a few of your insignificant subordinates, I think you still took advantage of it!"
"Confused!"
"Our attack on the Duke's Palace not only failed to achieve its goal, but further contributed to their common hatred, and Edlaide blatantly slaughtered my cronies, but I didn't say anything, what will my subordinates think of me?
"Since that's the case, then I'll immediately take someone out of Beijing to intercept him, I've long seen him unpleasant, and I'll make him unable to even come back to Firano City this time!"
"It's up to you?!" the eldest prince looked Blanche up and down several times, as if he had seen her for the first time.
"I'll admit I'm not a match for Edlaide right now, but as long as the Cult is willing to help, I'm sure it won't be difficult to take his life!"
"Don't say that my father just sent someone to warn me, 'Don't continue to fight with Charity,' I have to endure this. Even if I do disobey his orders and let you go out of Beijing to assassinate Amity, do you think we have a certain chance of success?"
"After Ed killed the Kim Sword Saint with one sword, some good deeds have even begun to advertise him as the 'No. 1 Master of Dongyu'!"
"I don't agree with this statement, but the fact that Ed is a few masters of Dongyu can't be denied!" the eldest prince took the wine glass in front of him and drank it down.
"Don't forget, he's accompanied by an inseparable giant swordmaster, Baldwin! that's not counting the other two swordmasters who attacked Ogden with him!"
"Don't say hurt Charity, you just simply get close to him, I'm afraid it's a thousand difficulties, let alone assassinate him!"
"The Cult of God will not agree to your request, don't mention this matter in the future!" the eldest prince waved his hand to Blanche in frustration, and then began to drink his sullen wine again.
Blanche stomped his foot fiercely when he saw the eldest prince like this, and turned to leave!
The eldest prince turned his head to look at Blanche's back and shook his head with a sneer, and then he turned his gaze to the direction of the Ziqing Empire.
"Sister, it's up to you this time!"
Unlike the eldest prince's helplessness, the sixth prince was a little excited when he heard that Li Zijun had increased his territory.
"Uncle, the boss is going to have a hard time!" the sixth prince said in his garden, smiling and chatting with the Oriel Sword Saint.
"Ed's move is to retreat into advance, and with Fergill's smooth push, it is enough to make Waters sad! If I'm not mistaken, Virgil will soon appoint Mantejou as the military commander of Shimla Province!"
"In this way, with the end of the training of the Southern Legion, the foundation of the Great Prince Waters in the southern part of the empire will be completely shaken!
"Your father's methods are really the same as they were back then!" Oliel nodded and sighed as he analyzed. (To be continued......)
