Chapter 557: Old Acquaintances
"It's me who told Sù about this, do you have any opinion on this?" Just as Li Zijun was about to 'torture' York, a slightly old voice suddenly appeared behind them.
Hearing this voice, Li Zijun immediately lost his temper, and hurriedly turned around with a smiling face:
"Father-in-law, what you said is another matter!"
Li Zijun naturally didn't want anyone else to be present, so he hurriedly motioned for York to leave.
"Father, it was my fault that I didn't ask for your opinion before, but you didn't come to the Seine Peninsula at that time. It's not that I didn't want to ask you for instructions, I'm just worried that I'm leaking the news back and forth, so that's why Li Zijun invited Alec to sit down and explained to him respectfully.
"Don't pretend, sit down!"
"Well done!" Li Zijun didn't expect that as soon as he sat down, Alec suddenly said this, and he was so startled that he immediately stood up again.
"Sit down, can't you boast about it?"
"It's not that it can't be, it's just that I can't believe my ears!" Li Zijun sat back timidly, shook his head with a wry smile.
"Surprisingly good!"
"Before the Fifth Prince sent out his troops, I suspected that His Majesty's target was not the Turk-Hungarian Empire, but it was only a suspicion!"
"But you kid not only clearly saw through His Majesty Fergill's true intentions, but also reacted appropriately to it. At this point, you're better than me!"
"Father, I'm a little embarrassed about what you said!"
"I'm not embarrassed, I'm telling the truth! And that's not really what I'm going to praise you. What I appreciate most is the way you do to White and your friends. ”
"You've seen it through!" Alec was Alec, albeit a little slower. But in the end, he finally saw through almost all of Li Zijun's tricks, and Li Zijun couldn't help but smile bitterly again and shook his head.
"It's come to this point. If I still don't realize anything, then wouldn't I have been in vain for so many years!" Seeing Li Zijun's appearance, Alec was a little 'annoyed'.
"Yes, yes, oh, no, no, you are strategizing and winning a thousand miles, in fact, you have already seen through this little trick of mine, just to take care of my face and not pierce me!" Li Zijun saw that Alec's face changed again, and hurriedly waved his hand to explain.
"I'm not as clever as you say! I wouldn't have realized that you kid had mastered such an effective 'big net'!"
"And that's what surprised me about you!" Alec looked at Li Zijun, his eyes full of deep meaning.
"Hehe!" Li Zijun unconsciously touched his nose, and couldn't help but hide his panic with a smirk, and his brain cells were quickly mobilized.
"Felton! You may have seen this man, I just asked him to try, but I didn't expect him to be much better than I thought! ”
But White's work isn't entirely his own. The Cult of Light has also made a lot of efforts, otherwise, I would not have been able to complete Vinnie's 'mission' silently. After thinking about it, Li Zijun decided to confess to Alec about Felton's existence.
"Felton?!" Alec recalled for a moment with a frown. Only then did he show an expression of sudden realization.
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it! I didn't expect this guy to loom in the capital to be your subordinate?!
"Where is he now. Are you still in the capital?"
"Having finished the work of White's men, I have ordered him to return to the Seine. On the one hand, it is to protect him. On the other hand, I also need him as a person to give advice. At this moment, he is in the house. Father, would you like to see him?"
"He's here, too? I'd really like to meet him, but it won't get in your way?"
"Father, you are laughing, my Qiē here is open to you, no matter where you want to see or who you meet, I will guarantee that the road will be smooth!" As he spoke, Li Zijun summoned one of his subordinates and ordered him to bring back both Felton and York, who had just left.
This time, Alec came to the Seine Peninsula in the name of recuperation, and he had many intentions. Li Zijun knows that whether he can make Aggreko a help rather than a hindrance depends entirely on whether the two sides can build trust with each other through this trip!
There is no doubt that Alec came with good intentions this time, and in such a situation, the best way to gain the trust of the other party is to trust the other party first! Li Zijun is trying to make himself more transparent in Alec's eyes as much as possible!
"Being able to get General Yule's appreciation is enough to prove that York is excellent, and I think you need to talk to him as well!"
"You're all 'cut first, then play', what else can I say?!" Alec smiled and nodded to Li Zijun.
"I have also heard about him, he is affectionate, righteous, responsible, and a good man. Such people deserve to be seen!"
"Not only that, but he is the only one around me who has noticed that His Majesty Virgil is going to use troops against Monlin! ”
"Oh, I'm going to see you even more, just here?" Alec said as he looked around, a little worried.
"The weather is good today, if you think it's okay, how about we sit in the gazebo in front?" Li Zijun understood that Alec was worried about 'the wall has ears', although he was a little unimpressed, but he still chose a relatively safe place.
"When people are old, they have a lot of worries! It's just a big mistake to be careful, don't you say?" Alec was a person, he almost immediately sensed what Li Zijun was thinking, he smiled and got up and patted Li Zijun on the shoulder, and reminded softly.
"Father, you reminded me that the kid wrote it down!" Although Li Zijun said yes again and again, he didn't actually pay much attention to Alec's words.
It is precisely because of his carelessness that the future really almost caused him a catastrophe!
Alec has long been an old man, and when he saw Li Zijun's expression, he understood that his words had become the air of 'passing through his ears'. It's just that with Li Zijun's current identity, he can't say anything more, and after the four words 'young and frivolous' flashed in Alec's mind, he sighed helplessly in his heart.
Soon after the two of them sat down, the gazebo was filled with all kinds of fruits and pastries.
"How is it possible that there is so much fresh fruit in the Seine Peninsula this season, and how do you do it?"
"Haha, in the past, you said that our Seine Peninsula was a poor and remote land, and I admit it, but now, although we dare not say that it is a paradise on earth, at least it is no worse than the rest of the Dongyu Empire! To be immodest, our inhabitants here are happier than most people in most places!" Speaking of the changes in the Seine Peninsula, Li Zijun's face immediately overflowed with excitement.
"Especially after the 'Elven Forest' settled on the Seine Peninsula, we can not only eat fresh fruits in all seasons, but the climate has also been affected to a certain extent, and it is no longer as cold as before!"
"Father-in-law, if you want me to say that you can stay here, I will guarantee that you can live at least ten years!"
"It's really a big change from what I think of the Seine, and I really like it. It's just that whether or not to stay here, I'll have to think again!"
Li Zijun still wanted to persuade Alec to stay, but by this time Felton and York had already rushed over, so he had to swallow the words back from his mouth.
"What is this?" asked curiously, after the two of them saluted Prime Minister Alec, Li Zijun pointed to what looked like a drawing paper under Filton's armpit.
"This is—this is" Filton obviously didn't know that Alec was here, and for a moment, he didn't know how to answer Li Zijun.
"Don't you know my father-in-law, we don't need to keep anything secret from him here, you just have to say anything!" Li Zijun smiled and waved his hand to the hesitant Felton.
"Hui Xiangye, Young Master, these are the defense maps of the Menglin Empire's Chishiji, Fanerda, and Kalovan Provinces, and these are the military distribution maps of the Fengqi Empire near Ogden. ”
"Ogden, could it be that the Fengqi Empire had also sensed Virgin's intentions before?" Li Zijun couldn't help but change his face when he heard Felton suddenly mention Ogden.
"Don't scare yourself! Fengqi people are not so clever, otherwise, Ogden will not fall into your hands! I judge that they should have coveted Ogden for a long time, and it is just a good time for him at this moment!"
"It's still the prime minister's skills, and I was originally worried about the young master, but I was just wondering why the movement of Fengqi's army was so slow. But when you say that, I will wait for this to happen, and they must have simply wanted to retake Ogden, and did not know in advance of His Majesty Virgil's plans or to unite with Monlin. Facton heard Prime Minister Alec's analysis, pondered for a while, and then nodded slightly.
Alec seemed to be very useful to Felton's unremembered 'sycophant', and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled slightly.
The ancients did not deceive me! Seeing this subtle change in Alec, Li Zijun secretly smiled in his heart.
"How many troops did Feng Qi mobilize this time?" Li Zijun asked Felton about the situation while motioning for York's help, and spread Ogden's map on the table.
"Fifty thousand! That's not a lot, but there's news that the commander of this team is an old acquaintance of yours. ”
"Victor!" Li Zijun and Filton said the name in unison. (To be continued......)
