An Understated Dominance (FULL ENGLISH TRANSLATION)

 

Chapter 1701​

“Brother Logan, why are you injured like this? Who did it? I must kill him!”

Scarlet Spanner rushed forward anxiously, and became even more angry when she saw Dustin covered in blood and looking sluggish.

In a pair of beautiful eyes, murderous intent surged.

Ever since she knew that Dustin was in danger, she immediately led her troops over.

She also encountered interceptions on the way, but she easily eliminated them all, but it also delayed some time.

She was ready to kill anyone who dared to harm Dustin, even if they were against the country.

“I’m fine, don’t worry. Besides, the person who hurt me is dead.” Dustin forced a smile.

“Brother Logan, please lie down and rest first. I will take you to the hospital right away!” Scarlet Spanner was still worried.

“Girl, don’t bother. I’m not in danger for the time being. Speaking of which, there is something more important that requires your attention.” Dustin changed the subject.

“What’s the matter?” Scarlet Spanner was a little strange.

“You should have seen that sword strike not long ago, right?” Dustin asked.

“I saw it.” Scarlet Spanner’s expression became serious: “That sword was so terrifying, it was beyond my understanding. I never thought that there was such a powerful person in the world.”

“That was Uncle Bai’s sword before he died.”

Dustin said with a complicated face: “If nothing else, the dragon veins of the Dragonmarsh Kingdom have been destroyed, and the Dragon Protection Pavilion, which is above the imperial power, should also have been severely damaged. In the next period of time, the entire Stonia will There is turmoil, and your Spanner Family must prepare early.”

“What? Uncle Bai is dead?”

Scarlet Spanner’s expression changed: “Who did it? Who can kill Uncle Bai?”

She practiced swordsmanship with Dustin, and Zeng Jin also received guidance from Bai Ye.

In her eyes, Bai Ye’s swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world and unmatched by anyone.

How could such a strong man die?

“Uncle Bai wanted to save me. He fought against many enemies and broke through the situation. In the end, he was overwhelmed and disappeared into thin air.” Dustin’s expression became gloomy again.

“Brother Logan, my condolences.” Scarlet Spanner had a heavy look on her face.

“Although Uncle Bai has passed away, his peerless style will remain in everyone’s heart. I will inherit his legacy and live well.” Dustin slowly clenched his fists.

Having said that, there are some things that cannot be let go of in a short period of time.

“Old Dustin, you just said that the Dragon Protection Pavilion was destroyed and Stonia would soon be in chaos. Is it true or false?” Adam Spanner asked tentatively.

“How much do you know about Dragon Protection Pavilion?” Dustin did not respond directly, but asked rhetorically.

“I don’t know much about it, I just heard about it accidentally. It is said that Dragon Protection Pavilion is a very mysterious organization with great power and can interfere with the imperial power.” Adam Spanner said.

“Dragon-protecting Pavilion came to me once and wanted me to join the pavilion, but I refused. I didn’t know much about it after that.” Scarlet Spanner said.

When he broke through to become a master at the age of eighteen and was granted the title of Scarlet Spanner God of War, Hulong Pavilion sent people to win over him.

But she didn’t take it to heart at all at the time, so she did it perfunctorily.

“I only found out about the Dragon Protection Pavilion today.”

Dustin said seriously: “This organization is extremely powerful. The members inside are all giants. Their influence spreads throughout the Dragonmarsh Kingdom. Even today, they are controlled by the Dragon Guard Pavilion.”

“So powerful?” Adam Spanner’s eyelids twitched.

Although he had heard about it, he didn’t know the details.
Chapter 1702​

“Because of its power, when the Dragon Protection Pavilion is destroyed, the impact will be particularly large. No one can be sure of what will happen. I just hope that you will not get involved in this whirlpool.” Dustin reminded.

“Being in Stonia and belonging to the four major royal families, how can we be alone? I’m afraid there’s no way to avoid this turmoil.” Adam Spanner shook his head.

The Dragon Guard Pavilion holds such great power, and once it is destroyed, the world will inevitably be in turmoil.

With the group leaderless, all parties and warlords are likely to dominate the mountain and take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos.

At that time, the Spanner Family, as a royal family, naturally cannot stand idly by.

“The attitude of the royal family also determines my attitude.”

Dustin said without hesitation: “If the royal family is willing to coexist peacefully with us, then we will naturally keep to ourselves and guard the borders; if the royal family insists on being aggressive and denying us a way to survive, we will have no choice but to rise up.”

“good!”

Scarlet Spanner said seriously: “No matter what brother Logan does, I will support you unconditionally!”

“And I and I…”

Abigail said quickly: “Uncle, if the emperor dares to harm you, I will help you poison him!”

“Brother Dustin, Brother Dustin, you are really going to give me problems!”

Adam Spanner shook his head and said helplessly: “That’s all, I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman. I just hope that the officials will not be confused, otherwise the Dragonmarsh Kingdom will soon change its owner…”

“The general trend of the world is that if it divides for a long time, it will unite, and if it unites for a long time, it will divide. Hulong Pavilion has occupied the mountain and been the king for many years. It has harmed countless loyal ministers and righteous people. Any force that does not obey its orders or threatens will be eradicated by it. Now it has reached this point. , it’s the way of heaven!” Scarlet Spanner said coldly.

How many people were killed or injured in the Forbidden City Incident?

Among them was Logan Rhys’s mother, energyn Suzhen.

In her eyes, Aunt internal energyn Suzhen was a very kind and gentle woman. She was always kind and charitable and had saved many people.

Even when facing beggars, Aunt internal energyn will treat them with courtesy.

However, such a good man died under the conspiracy of Dragon Guard Pavilion.

Buried with him were many loyal people who served the country.

Organizations like this will be destroyed sooner or later.

“Although the Dragon Protection Pavilion has been destroyed, there must still be remnants. This is still a force that cannot be ignored. I will continue to pursue it.” Dustin said seriously.

Li Yuanwu died, and most of the backbone of the Dragon Protection Pavilion was killed by Bai Ye with one sword, but the skinny camel was bigger than the horse.

The power of the Dragon Protection Pavilion is deeply rooted, and it is obviously impossible to completely eliminate it in a short period of time.

After today’s battle, West Lucozia Prince’s Mansion and Hulong Pavilion have completely broken up, and the two sides will definitely fight to the death in the future.

And his goal is to completely kill the remnants of the Dragon Guard Pavilion!

“Brother Logan, I think that in addition to the remnants of the Dragon Protection Pavilion, you must always pay attention to the movements of the royal family.”

Scarlet Spanner reminded: “Now that there are no restraints, the royal family should be back in power. However, the official family is seriously ill now, and there is not much time left. The princes are not wise kings. Once someone among them ascends to the throne, it is likely that you will be killed.” Considered a thorn in the side.”

The power of the West Lucozia Prince’s Palace was huge, and it had reached the point where its power was so great that it overshadowed its master.

The emperor of the current dynasty was quite sensible and knew that the Rhys Family was loyal and would not do anything excessive.

However, these princes are all small-minded and selfish people. If they ascend the throne in the future, they may make things difficult for them, or even stage a murder case ten years ago again.

This is what worries her most now.

Chapter 1703​

When night fell, Dustin finally returned to the villa area in Stonia South City.

As for Scarlet Spanner, Adam Spanner, Abigail and others, they also went back and began to prepare for the next turmoil.

Too many things happened to Taishan and his party today.

Although he knew the truth and destroyed the Dragon Protection Pavilion, Bai Ye’s death made him unable to let go for a long time.

Now he felt deeply exhausted, both physically and mentally.

He really wanted to have a good sleep, not thinking about anything, not caring about anything, just sleep until he woke up naturally.

Maybe tomorrow will be better.

“Crunch!”

The car stopped at the door of the villa, and Dustin got out of the car exhausted.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a woman wearing white clothes, a curtain hat, and a veil sitting in the living room.

The woman has a graceful figure and a special body fragrance.

Although the appearance cannot be seen clearly, it gives people a gentle and excellent feeling.

“Margaret?”

Dustin recognized the woman on the sofa at a glance.

This outfit, this temperament, this unique taste is hard to forget.

“Brother Dustin, are you back?”

Maximus poured a cup of tea and put it on the table. At the same time, he walked to Dustin and reported: “This Miss Margaret came to see you again. She said she had something important to do, but she was always mysterious. You Be careful.”

“Don’t worry, I have my own sense of discretion. You can go and rest first.”

Dustin nodded and signaled Maximus to go back to the room. He found a sofa chair on the side and sat down. He said calmly: “Miss Margaret, I came to my humble house in the middle of the night. What advice can you give me?”

“I already know what happened in energynshan today.” Margaret suddenly spoke.

“So?” Dustin looked calm, without any surprise.

Margaret is obviously not an ordinary person. He is most likely a member of the royal family. It is not surprising to know the major events that happened today.

Moreover, the other party is still a disciple of energyn Tianjian and is proficient in divination. He must know more than ordinary royal disciples.

“Bai Ye cuts off the dragon veins, which will have a huge impact on the fate of the Dragonmarsh Kingdom. In order to recover the losses, I have to gather all the five dragon origin energy emitted by the dragon veins. However, this task is too difficult. It can only be done by myself. , it’s really difficult to do, so I hope you can help me.” Margaret got straight to the point.

“What’s the reason? Why should I help you?” Dustin asked.

“This incident happened because of you. You are the one in the game and cannot escape the responsibility. Besides, after you find the Dragon Source internal energy, you will also benefit a lot. This is a win-win deal.” Margaret said seriously. road.

“Sorry, I’m very tired now and have no interest in doing these things. You’d better hire someone else.” Dustin refused.

“Logan Rhys, this is your fate, you can’t escape it. For yourself, for West Lucozia, and for the entire Dragonmarsh Kingdom, we must find the energy of the dragon source, so that we can restore peace to the world!” Margaret said.

“Miss Margaret, first of all, let me make it clear that the dragon vein being cut off and the Dragon Guard Pavilion being destroyed is not a bad thing for me. It is also an opportunity for your royal family. As for what you said about bringing peace to the world, to be honest, I have not yet With this realization, I still have a lot of troubles to deal with, so how can I care about them? Please go back.” Dustin directly issued an eviction order.

He is not a good person, and he cannot take the world as his own responsibility.

He still has a blood feud that he has not avenged, and there are still many mysteries that he has not investigated clearly. Things like saving the world have nothing to do with him.

At least, not yet.

“Logan Rhys, you will help me. This is fate. There will eventually be an inextricable fate between the two of us.” Margaret said.

“Miss Margaret, I’m not interested in your divination numbers, and I don’t know if they are true or false. I’m very tired now and just want to go back to my room to rest. I hope you’ll be well and let me have a sleep, okay?” Dustin He said with a tired look.

“I’m afraid you won’t be able to sleep tonight…” Margaret shook his head: “There is a big shot who wants to see you, and it must be now.”
Chapter 1704​

“Big shot? Who?” Dustin asked.

“I am the emperor of the dynasty!” Margaret said in astonishment.

“Um?”

Dustin frowned slightly, feeling a little strange.

Didn’t it mean that the official was suffering from illness and was bedridden?

Why are you still interested in seeing him?

Is it because of the Dragon Protection Pavilion? Or is it something about dragon veins?

Will this trip be dangerous? Will there be an ambush in the Forbidden City?

“No more guessing.”

As if he had seen through something, Margaret said calmly: “If the emperor wanted to harm you, he would not have sent me to do it. Instead, he would have directly called on the imperial masters and even the imperial guards. With your current physical condition, you have the chance to do so.” Is there room for resistance?”

Hearing this, Dustin couldn’t help but breathed a sigh of relief.

I have to admit that what Margaret said makes sense. If the official family really had harmful intentions, they wouldn’t just send a woman here.

Moreover, given the current situation, as long as the officials are not stupid, they will not add fuel to the fire.

After all, the Dragon Protection Pavilion has been destroyed, and the most important thing for the royal family now is to centralize power. If something happens to him in Stonia, it will only intensify the contradiction.

When the West Lucozia cavalry army pressed into the territory, it would definitely be a fatal blow to the royal family.

Of course, this is the truth, but you must be on guard against others, and you must ask clearly about the situation.

“Miss Margaret, I wonder why the official came to see me late at night?” Dustin asked tentatively.

“I don’t know, but it’s something important anyway.” Margaret answered ambiguously.

“If you don’t say anything, then I won’t go.” Seeing the trap, Dustin couldn’t say anything, so he just gave up.

“you……”

Margaret was a little angry, but for the sake of the overall situation, she still replied patiently: “I don’t know the specifics, but I will most likely talk to you about some important national affairs, such as the replacement of the imperial power, the stability of the border, etc.”

“So that’s it.” Dustin nodded thoughtfully.

“Now, can you come with me?” Margaret asked.

“It seems that I can’t go if I don’t go tonight, but before I go, I have to write a letter and wait for a while.”

After Dustin finished speaking, he immediately found a pen and paper and wrote a handwritten letter. Then he called Maximus and told him: “Maximus, please keep this letter carefully. Find another place to stay tonight. If you can’t stay before dawn, , I didn’t contact you, so I took this letter and went to West Lucozia immediately.”

“clear!”

Maximus nodded and left quickly.

“Logan Rhys, you are really careful.”

Margaret frowned slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

She naturally knew in her heart that Dustin did this just in case.

Once the royal family plots something evil and sets an ambush, this letter will be the evidence.

“There’s nothing you can do, be careful when sailing the ten-thousand-year ship.” Dustin said calmly.

“Everything that needs to be done has been done. Your Royal Highness, can you move now?” Margaret said with some resentment.

“Let’s go.” Dustin nodded.

Then, under the leadership of Margaret, they went straight to the Forbidden City.
Chapter 1705​

Late at night, Purple City, Reidxin Hall.

An old man with gray hair and a stooped figure was carefully reviewing the memorial.

The old man was listless, pale, and would cough violently from time to time.

After coughing, when the white handkerchief was taken off, traces of blood could still be seen on it.

The old man is none other than the current emperor, Li Weimin!

“Hector Jia, you haven’t recovered from your illness yet, so you’d better have a good rest. It’s important to take care of your dragon body!”

A eunuch serving beside him finally couldn’t help but speak.

The reason why officials fell ill was because they were overworked, which led to physical overdraft.

As a result, he had just been lying down for a few days. After he recovered, he began to review memorials and deal with various matters all night long, as if he was sleepless.

If this continues, how can the body be able to tolerate it?

“It doesn’t matter, we’ll be done with it in a while.”

Li Weimin took a sip of tea and began to devote himself to work again.

Since the Dragon Vein was cut off, the government and the public have been shaken, and all kinds of rumors have continued.

In order to stabilize the situation, he could only declare to the outside world that he had recovered from his serious illness and was in good health.

Only in this way can the wolfish ambitions of some people be temporarily curbed.

However, he also knew in his heart that he could not hold on for too long. To stabilize the government, he must cut through the chaos quickly and decide on a successor as soon as possible.

“well……”

The eunuch sighed.

It hurts in my eyes and hurts in my heart.

Officials have always worked hard to govern and love the country and the people. Unfortunately, they are too tired and their health is getting worse.

However, none of his sons could worry about it, and no one could share the worries of the official family.

“The official…”

At this time, another eunuch walked in quietly and whispered: “Princess Margaret has arrived.”

“Oh? Margaret is here? Invite them in.”

Li Weimin finally put down the memorial and straightened his appearance to make himself look more energetic.

Soon, under the leadership of the eunuch, Margaret and Dustin walked into the Nourishing Heart Hall one after another.

In order to deceive others, Dustin even changed into eunuch’s clothes, which made him look presentable.

“Father, the person you want to see has been brought here.” Margaret saluted respectfully.

“Father?”

Dustin looked at the people around him and felt quite surprised.

Although I knew that Margaret was a member of the royal family, I didn’t expect that the other party was actually the princess of the dynasty.

“You two go down first.”

Li Weimin waved his hand to signal the two eunuchs to leave, then waved to Dustin and said with a smile: “Logan, sit down.”

“The common people don’t dare.” Dustin lowered his head slightly.

“Haha… You wouldn’t have been so polite in the past. You were so bold that you dared to sit on the throne.” Li Weimin said with a smile.

“At the beginning, the common people were young and ignorant, so I asked the officials to forgive me.” Dustin said.

“Okay, don’t be so formal. We are not kings and ministers tonight, but uncles and nephews. Sit down.” Li Weimin smiled.

“Thank you, officials.”

Dustin nodded, and finally sat next to him as he was told.

Margaret, on the other hand, poured tea for the two of them very wisely.

“Logan, I haven’t seen you for ten years, but you have changed so much that I almost don’t recognize you.” Li Weimin sighed.

“The official family… is still so powerful.”

Dustin looked up, his pupils narrowed, and he said a compliment.
Chapter 1706​

The Li Weimin in front of him is completely different from what he was ten years ago.

Ten years ago, Li Weimin was a man of great talent, high-spirited and majestic as the leader of a country.

However, now Li Weimin is not only mentally depressed and physically weak, but also looks very old, looking like a dying old man.

The problem is, Li Weimin is only in his fifties.

At this age, he should be considered in his prime now. How could he be so old?

“When did you kid learn to flatter me?”

Li Weimin laughed dumbly: “But this is good, a little less sharp, a little more calm, and becoming more mature.”

Dustin lowered his head slightly and said nothing.

Before the tragedy that year, the relationship between the two families was very good, and his father and Li Weimin were brothers and talked about everything.

But now, everything has changed.

Although the assassination was caused by the Dragon Guard Pavilion, it does not rule out that the royal family was also involved.

So now, his attitude towards Li Weimin is basically ambiguous.

If Li Weimin is willing to be honest with each other, then the two can continue to communicate. If the other party keeps talking about him, tonight’s meeting will be meaningless.

“Logan, are you curious as to why I want to have a secret conversation with you tonight?” Li Weimin suddenly changed the topic.

“I wonder what the official’s orders are?” Dustin was neither humble nor overbearing.

“The reason why I came to you is, on the one hand, to resolve the grievances of the past, and on the other hand, I also want to ask for something.”

Li Weimin did not hide anything and said directly: “Today’s visit to internal energyxia Temple, I believe you should know some truth.

As an emperor, I seem to have a good life, but I can’t help myself with many things.

When you were assassinated, I should have given you my full support and fought against the Dragon Protection Pavilion with your father.

But I’m too scared,

I have always felt guilty about this incident. For the past ten years, I have spent every day and night in regret and self-blame.

If I had been more courageous, maybe your mother would not have died, and the tragedy that year would not have happened.

It’s a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world. If you make one mistake, you will make mistakes every step of the way.

Here, I want to tell you, I’m sorry. ”

Li Weimin bent over, his head lowered, his face full of guilt.

“Father?”

Margaret was stunned for a moment.

She didn’t expect that her father, who had always been strong-willed, would take the initiative to apologize, and he would apologize to a minister as the king of a country.

This is unprecedented.

“Officials, what is past is past.”

Dustin’s heart was in turmoil, but he remained calm on the surface.

Li Weimin was willing to admit his mistake and apologize, which was something he didn’t expect. Most of the previous hostility was gone at this moment.

Thinking from his perspective, Li Weimin did nothing wrong, and the other party was just trying to protect himself.

Of course, he can forgive the other party’s inaction, but it is impossible for the two families to go back to the past.

“Logan, actually I have to say thank you. Although the dragon’s veins were cut off, which affected the fate of the country, it also destroyed the scourge of Dragon Protection Pavilion.”

“For ten years, I have been secretly accumulating strength in order to overthrow the rule of Dragon Protection Pavilion.”

“I didn’t expect that by some mistake, you managed to do this for me in advance, so I have to thank you.”

“Of course, although the Dragon Protection Pavilion has been destroyed on the surface, there are still some remnants left. You must be extremely careful during the next period of time.”

“If nothing else happens, the remnants of the Dragon Guard Pavilion will take crazy revenge on you.” Li Weimin reminded with a serious face.

The Dragon Protection Pavilion tree has large roots and deep roots, so it is obviously impossible to completely destroy it.

It is no exaggeration to say that half of the court officials at that time had close contacts with Dragon Protection Pavilion.

If you want to eradicate the weeds, you have to plan well.
Chapter 1707​

“Thank you for the official reminder. I’m already mentally prepared for this matter.”

Dustin said calmly: “Even if the Dragon Protection Pavilion doesn’t come to me, I will go to them. In a word, I will never give up until the Dragon Protection Pavilion is destroyed!”

“It’s great that you have this awareness. In this regard, I will fully support you and provide you with everything you need.” Li Weimin said seriously.

“The common people thanked the officials.” Dustin nodded slightly but did not refuse.

No matter what happened in the past, at least now, both sides have a common enemy and can temporarily cooperate.

As for the future, it’s all about bridges returning to bridges and roads returning to roads.

“Logan, I know you still have some unanswered questions in your heart. Just ask, and I will tell you everything I know tonight.” Li Weimin said.

“I do have a question and I want to ask the instructor.”

Dustin seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said: “I wonder if the officials know the specific whereabouts of Song Zun?”

Although the Dragon Protection Pavilion was destroyed, the truth of what happened back then has not yet been fully revealed.

Previously, prince wales said that there was a traitor in West Lucozia‘s palace, and it was Song Zun, the general of West Lucozia‘s army.

This man is talented in both literature and military affairs, and has great military achievements. He is also his father’s close friend in life and death.

He couldn’t understand why such a talented person would betray West Lucozia and work for Hulong Pavilion?

He must ask clearly, and at the same time, recover the blood debt of the year!

“Song Zun?”

Li Weimin‘s pupils shrank and he said meaningfully: “This person is not simple! He planned the assassination incident back then. He later escaped by feigning death and continued to live under a different identity. He is a very dignified figure.”

“So, the officials know the whereabouts of Song Zun?” Dustin raised his eyebrows slightly.

“I don’t know exactly where Song Zun is, but I know his true identity after changing his appearance.” Li Weimin said.

“Oh? What’s his name now?” Dustin asked.

“Song Zun has now changed his surname to Ji to Yuan Zun, and people respectfully call him Mr. Whitaker.” Li Weimin said.

“What? Song Zun is actually Mr. Whitaker?” Dustin‘s expression changed slightly.

He had always been curious about the origin of the mysterious Mr. Whitaker, but he didn’t expect that it was actually Song Zun‘s pseudonym.

For a moment, he became even more confused.

Ten years ago, Song Zun transformed into Mr. Whitaker and rescued the seriously injured Lorenzo, and visited him personally every once in a while.

If Song Zun was a traitor, why did he do this?

Could it be that the other party used Lorenzo as a bait and deliberately induced him to appear?

The key is that Lorenzo‘s address and information were provided by his stepmother Princess Elara.

If this matter is a trap, doesn’t it mean that Princess Elara is also highly suspicious?

Thinking about it this way, it’s really scary to think about it!

“Song Zun not only changed his surname and name, but also has another level of identity, that is, the deputy master of the Dragon Protection Pavilion!” Li Weimin said something shocking again.

“Deputy Master of Dragon Protection Pavilion?”

Dustin‘s frown deepened: “So, he betrayed West Lucozia and my father just for the position of deputy pavilion master?”

“It’s not that simple.” Li Weimin shook his head: “To be precise, Song Zun has been a member of the Dragon Protection Pavilion from the beginning. He approached your father because he had other motives. The betrayal back then was planned by the Dragon Protection Pavilion. One ring.”

“It turns out that Song Zun has always been an undercover agent. Thanks to our trust in him, everything turned out to be fake. Friendship, loyalty, and friendship between life and death are all a joke!” Dustin said with a gloomy face and a cold light in his eyes. Looming.

“Logan, I have investigated today. Although the Dragon Protection Pavilion was destroyed and most of the top management were injured or killed, Song Zun‘s body was not found inside, so it is very possible that he is still alive.” Li Weimin reminded.
Chapter 1708​

“It’s good to be alive! This way I can take revenge with my own hands and kill Song Zun and the remnants of Hulong Pavilion in one go!” Dustin said with murderous intent.

“This matter cannot be rushed, and must be considered in the long term. Song Zun is a very resourceful person. If you don’t act carefully, you can easily fall into his trap.” Li Weimin said seriously.

Hearing this, Dustin took a deep breath and quickly suppressed the anger in his heart.

He naturally understood that anger could not solve any problems.

It is not easy to catch an old fox like Song Zun who is hiding behind the scenes.

“Logan, I will always help you keep an eye on the news about Song Zun and Hulong Pavilion. If there is any whereabouts, I will notify you as soon as possible.” Li Weimin promised.

“Then thank you officials.” Dustin bowed and saluted.

Li Weimin must have accumulated a huge power after working hard for ten years.

Especially after the Dragon Guard Pavilion was destroyed, the other party became the real king of the Dragonmarsh Kingdom.

If Li Weimin helps, it will only be a matter of time to capture Song Zun and annihilate the remnants of Hulong Pavilion.

“Logan, if you have no other questions, let’s talk about future development, shall we?” Li Weimin suddenly changed the subject.

“I wonder what the official family refers to?” Dustin calmed down.

“Logan, you are not an outsider, so I won’t hide it from you. In fact, I am already terminally ill and I don’t have much time left.”

“Father…”

Margaret was startled. When he was about to say something, Li Weimin raised his hand to stop him: “I know my own body well. The imperial doctors in the palace have secretly looked at it. They are all helpless. Although I have blocked the news, But I’m not sure how long I can hide it.

I am worried that if I suddenly die of illness, the newly stable situation in the DPRK will become turbulent again.

Until then, only innocent people will suffer, so I hope you can help me once. “

“The officials want me to treat you?” Dustin asked tentatively.

With his eyesight, he could tell at a glance that Li Weimin was a degenerate and his end was approaching.

Unless there is a nine-turn life-sustaining elixir to protect the body, the opponent will run out of oil and die in as little as three months or as long as one year.

It’s just that the medicinal materials for the Life-Sustaining Pill are too rare, and many of them are orphans. It took him ten years to gather all the medicinal materials and refine a Life-Sustaining Pill.

It is obviously impossible to refine the second one now.

So even he couldn’t cure Li Weimin’s disease.

“I told you, my disease cannot be cured.” Li Weimin shook his head

“Then what do the officials mean by helping?” Dustin asked again.

“It’s very simple, help me choose a successor.” Li Weimin said with a smile.

“What? Choose a successor?”

Hearing this, Dustin couldn’t help being slightly startled, with a bit of surprise on his face: “Hector, are you kidding me? Who am I to talk about such a major national matter?”

“Don’t be restrained. There are no kings or ministers here tonight, only uncles and nephews. There are no national affairs, only family feuds, so you can speak freely.”

Li Weimin smiled and said: “Which of my sons do you think is the most suitable to be the heir? In other words, who do you like more?”

In a word, Dustin can’t fix it directly.

He really didn’t expect that Li Weimin would ask such a question.

what is this?

solicit opinions? Or be left alone at the end of your life?
Chapter 1709​

Dustin calmed down and quickly replied: “Hector family, I have never met many princes, and I don’t know much about this matter at all, so I can’t make an evaluation. Please forgive me.”

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. I’ll explain it to you in detail.”

Li Weimin did not give up and continued: “My eldest son has a stable character and has studied with me since he was a child. He may not be able to expand the territory, but he is more than enough to maintain it. It is a pity that he is weak and has constant illnesses all year round. He is really not suitable to be the leader of the country. .”

At the end of the sentence, I couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

His eldest son can be called a wise king, but he does not have the emperor’s destiny.

An expert once calculated that his eldest son would not live to be thirty-six years old. Once he passed the throne to the other party, he would probably die in a few years after all the hard work and hard work.

“The eldest prince is not suitable, what about the second prince?” Dustin asked back.

“Although my second son is strong and brave, he is too arrogant and arrogant. No one takes him seriously. He cannot be considered a wise king.” Li Weimin shook his head.

My second son has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is indeed very brave. Unfortunately, he lacks brains and acts impulsively. Being a general is fine, but being an emperor is obviously not suitable.

“I heard that the third prince is capable of both literary and martial arts, so he should be suitable for him, right?” Dustin said again.

“Yeah, a lot of people say that.”

Li Weimin sighed: “The third child has brains and means. From all aspects, he is the most suitable successor. But there is only one thing that gives me a headache, that is, the third child has no tolerance for others. Such Human beings cannot be a good ruler.”

The third son is both civil and military, but he is very narrow-minded. He is not only jealous, but also very suspicious.

Such a person can hear good and bad things but not bad words. He can tolerate mediocrity but not talented people.

If this continues, the Dragonmarsh Kingdom will decline sooner or later.

Therefore, in his eyes, his third son was also unfit to be an emperor.

“There are many heirs in the official family, so there should be better candidates, right?” Dustin asked tentatively.

“The remaining sons are either not capable enough or are too young to take on important roles, so I am very troubled now. How should I choose?” Li Weimin rubbed his temples.

Throughout the ages, princes have been chosen with great care.

If there is no problem with his body, there is no need to worry. You can also slowly examine and cultivate him.

The problem is that he doesn’t have much time now and must choose a successor as soon as possible in order to stabilize the overall situation.

“Sigh… It would be great if Margaret was a man, so I don’t have to worry and can be relieved as soon as possible.” Li Weimin sighed again.

The sons are not up to par, but the daughters are very good.

Especially Margaret, who has both political integrity and talent, outstanding ability, almost perfect, and is the most suitable successor.

It’s a pity that she is born as a girl and cannot become emperor.

What an act of God!

“Hector Jia, I can’t solve the problem that even you are troubled by.” Dustin shook his head.

Throughout the dynasties, the battle for the crown prince has been accompanied by bloodshed. He has enough troubles now and really does not want to get involved in this whirlpool.

“Others can’t solve it, but you can.”

Li Weimin said meaningfully: “You are the future King of West Lucozia, and you are also the pillar of the country. Your opinions are very important. I will choose whoever you choose!”

“ah?”

Dustin’s face froze, a little caught off guard.

If Li Weimin’s previous words were just to solicit opinions, then now, he was asked to make the final decision.

This meaning is completely different.
Chapter 1710​

Dustin thought carefully and could probably guess some of Li Weimin’s thoughts.

After the Dragon Protection Pavilion was destroyed, the royal family would truly take charge of the country. However, due to the influence of the Dragon Protection Pavilion over the years, the foundation of the royal family was unstable and they were in urgent need of a mainstay to provide strong support.

Obviously, in Li Weimin’s eyes, West Lucozia Palace is the best choice.

On the one hand, the West Lucozia Prince’s Palace holds a large number of troops and has power over the government and the public; on the other hand, the West Lucozia Prince’s Palace and Hulong Pavilion are mortal enemies, so it is natural for the two sides to cooperate.

Moreover, as long as there is the support of the West Lucozia Palace, the royal family will definitely be able to secure its position.

This is why Li Weimin invited him.

Let him decide the final ownership of the imperial power. Although it sounds ridiculous, it also shows enough sincerity.

The man in front of me is indeed a man of great talent.

“Logan, don’t feel any pressure. Just choose whoever you think is suitable.” Li Weimin said with a smile.

“Hector family, this matter is very important. I really can’t decide.” Dustin shook his head.

“Don’t worry, I can still hold on for a while. You can think about it carefully, or go back and discuss it with your father. When you make a decision, it won’t be too late to tell me.” Li Weimin said with a smile.

“This…” Dustin was a little confused.

He wanted to refuse directly, but looking at Li Weimin’s posture, it was obvious that he would not be given the chance to refuse.

“Oh, by the way, Logan, I heard that you are still single now, right?”

Li Weimin suddenly changed the subject: “By coincidence, uncle, I have found a partner for you. She is not only talented and beautiful, but also gentle and elegant. She is a very good wife. You two are simply a match made in heaven.”

“Hector Jia, I appreciate your kindness, but this kind of thing is all about fate. I don’t think there’s any need for marriage or anything like that?” Dustin declined politely.

“Speaking of fate, you two have known each other for a long time and got along well. I believe you will like her.” Li Weimin said.

“Who does the ‘she’ the officials refer to?” Dustin asked tentatively.

“Well, it’s far away, but right in front of you.”

Li Weimin smiled slightly and looked at Margaret sitting aside.

“she?”

Dustin looked over and couldn’t help but twitching at the corners of his eyes.

“I?”

Margaret pointed at herself, her voice equally surprised.

The two of them really didn’t expect that while they were chatting, the matter of marriage would come up.

“Look at the two of you, what a tacit understanding and fate you two have.”

Li Weimin said with a smile: “My sister married your father, and if my daughter marries you again, it will be a close marriage. It will be absolutely beneficial to our two families without any harm.”

“Hector, I’m really sorry. I already have someone I like, so I’m afraid I can’t agree to the marriage.” Dustin refused directly.

“It doesn’t matter. As a man, it’s normal to have three wives and four concubines. After you marry Margaret, it doesn’t hurt to marry another one.” Li Weimin said with a smile.

Hearing this, Margaret frowned, but didn’t say anything.

As a member of the royal family, she knew very well that in her marriage, she was not qualified to discuss preferences, only interests.

To put it simply, she is just a pawn for the royal family to consolidate its power.

Even though she was reluctant, she couldn’t resist.

In fact, compared to other sisters, it was the best ending for her to marry The Kirin Logan Rhys.
Chapter 1711​

“Hector Jia, with all due respect, it’s hard for me to agree with your point of view.”

Dustin said seriously: “For you, three wives and four concubines are normal, but in my opinion, monogamy is the orthodoxy. Moreover, a marriage without feelings is just a grave. I don’t want to harm anyone.”

As soon as these words came out, Margaret couldn’t help but look shocked, and there seemed to be something extra in his eyes when he looked at Dustin.

Looking at the entire Stonia, most powerful men have many women.

The remaining few are either because the woman’s family is powerful and dare not blatantly do so; or they are incompetent in that regard and are powerless.

It is very rare for a man like Logan Rhys to be clean and not approach women.

“Logan, do you dislike Margaret? Or do you think she’s not good enough for you?” Li Weimin asked tentatively.

His daughter Margaret is at the top of the rouge list. She is the top-notch existence in terms of appearance and talent.

Looking at the whole world, there are countless suitors.

I don’t know how many young talents are squeezing their heads, all wanting to see the beauty in the golden age.

Logically speaking, as long as Logan Rhys is a normal man, he will not refuse such a good thing.

“Ms. Li is both talented and beautiful, but I am not worthy of her. Besides, I already have my heart set on my own and I really can’t tolerate anyone else.” Dustin looked solemn.

“I didn’t expect you to be so infatuated, that’s all. It’s not sweet to be forced. Let’s talk about the marriage later.” Li Weimin did not force it.

As the saying goes, you have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.

Logan Rhys is so resistant now because he has not yet felt the charm of his daughter.

When two people fall in love over time, everything will fall into place, so there is no rush.

“Thank you, officials.” Dustin saluted with his hands raised.

“Logan, it’s getting late. You should go back and rest first. Regarding the heir, you can think about it carefully. I’ll wait for your reply.”

Li Weimin said and looked at Margaret: “Margaret, send me a long song.”

“Yes, Father.”

Margaret nodded and stood up.

“The common people resign.”

After Dustin bowed deeply, he followed Margaret out of the Reidxin Hall.

“Cough cough cough…”

Li Weimin just took a sip of tea and began to cough violently again. The light tea was soon stained red with blood: “Oh… it would be better if you gave me more time. In three years, we can dominate the world.”

At this moment, outside the Reidxin Palace.

Dustin, who was wearing eunuch uniform, had been following Margaret.

“Just…thank you.”

After a long silence, Margaret spoke first.

She still had a lot of things to do, and she didn’t want to get married at all. Dustin’s refusal gave her time to breathe.

“Why are you thanking me?” Dustin was a little confused.

“It’s nothing. Anyway, you are a good person. If you need help in the future, you can come to me.” Margaret said with a smile.

“You put it like that, I do need your help with something.” Dustin said bluntly.

“Tell me about it.” Margaret said.

“You are proficient in divination, can you help me calculate which prince will become the final prince?” Dustin asked tentatively.

Li Weimin had a huge problem, and now he could only throw it away.

“I’m not a god, how can I count everything?”

Margaret rolled his eyes and said angrily: “Besides, the kings of a country are all people who follow the way of heaven and are blessed with destiny. To calculate such a fate, I estimate that it will cost me half of my life, and it is not necessarily allow.”

“Is it so difficult?”
Chapter 1712​

Dustin frowned slightly: “Then, among your brothers, who do you think is the most suitable to be the king?”

“What? Trying to trick me?”

Margaret smiled softly: “This is a problem that my father has given you, and it should be solved by you. I can’t help you, and I can’t help you.”

“You, a disciple of energyn Tian Jian, are really incompetent!” Dustin shook his head helplessly.

The position of crown prince is related to the rise and fall of the country. He really didn’t expect that this heavy burden would fall on him.

The most important thing is that no matter who he chooses, he will offend several other extremely powerful princes.

By then, there will definitely be trouble.

“You don’t have to be too anxious. My father has given you time to think about it. You can make a careful investigation to see which prince has more potential? Or is it more in line with the wishes of your West Lucozia Palace?” Margaret said meaningfully.

“Oh…it’s such a troublesome thing.” Dustin only felt a headache.

“Oh, by the way, there’s another question.”

At this time, Dustin seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked: “Why do you wear a veil and hat all day long? Is there anything shameful about being the top of the rouge list?”

“My face will bring a lot of trouble, so it’s better to hide it; of course, if you want to see it, I can let you have a look, but I don’t know if you have the courage?” Margaret smiled half-heartedly.

“Haha… I’ve never seen big winds and waves, so I’m afraid to look at you? What a joke!” Dustin sneered.

“Are you sure you want to see it?” Margaret asked again.

“Of course! I don’t believe you still have three heads and six arms!” Dustin raised his head.

“Okay, then you can lift the veil yourself and see the true face.”

Margaret smiled meaningfully: “But I have already sworn that if anyone lifts my veil with his own hands and sees my face, I must marry him.”

“ah?”

As soon as these words came out, Dustin immediately retracted the hand he had just stretched out in fear: “Forget it, forget it, I won’t read it anymore. I’m very sleepy. Send me home to sleep.”

“Look at your potential!” Margaret chuckled.

The person in front of him was more interesting than he expected.

Late at night, when Dustin and Margaret walked out of the palace gate, a group of people suddenly appeared at the corner in front.

The leader was a middle-aged man wearing fine clothes and carrying himself in an extraordinary manner.

The guards behind him are all martial arts masters, obviously not simple.

“The villain energyan Jin has met Princess Anyang and the Crown Prince of West Lucozia.”

A middle-aged man in rich attire took the lead to step forward and salute Dustin and Margaret respectfully.

In terms of etiquette, there is nothing wrong with it.

But his simple words made Dustin and the two secretly surprised.

You must know that they all entered the Forbidden City in disguise. They were very hidden along the way and no one knew about it.

Why was he stopped as soon as he left the palace?

And as soon as the other party spoke, they named their identities, as if they knew them well.

In this Forbidden City, there are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers!

“Who are you?” Margaret asked.

“Your Highness, Princess, I am a retainer of the eldest prince, and I have been specially ordered to invite the Prince of West Lucozia to the mansion.” energyan Jin replied with his head lowered.

“The eldest prince?”

Dustin and Margaret looked at each other, already guessing something in their hearts.

To be able to receive the news so quickly and make corresponding preparations, it is obvious that the eldest prince has placed his own spies in the Reidxin Palace.

For a prince, this has crossed the line.
Chapter 1713​

“Lord internal energyan, I wonder why the eldest prince summoned him late at night?” Dustin pretended to be unaware.

“Master heard that His Royal Highness the Prince has returned to Stonia, and has always wanted to catch up with you. The moonlight is beautiful tonight, which is very suitable for drinking and talking.” energyan Jin lowered his head and said.

“Master internal energyan, how about another day? I am too tired tonight and just want to go home and fall asleep. I will definitely visit you another day.” Dustin crossed his fists.

This is absolutely true.

He had fought several battles today, was seriously injured and was exhausted both physically and mentally. He really wanted to have a good sleep.

The result was good, first Margaret came to visit, then the officials summoned him, and now even the eldest prince’s people came.

Not giving him any time to breathe.

“Your Highness, the master has prepared wine and food and is waiting in the mansion. If Your Highness feels tired, you may wish to meet the master first and then rest in the mansion. I will arrange everything for you.” energyan Jin always smiled.

Dustin looked helpless and could only turn to Margaret for help, hoping that the other party could say something.

“Brother the Emperor is so enthusiastic. All the carriages, horses, wine and food are prepared. You have to give me some face.” Margaret smiled softly: “Get in the car, I will accompany you.”

“Thank you, Your Highness, Princess, thank you, Your Highness, Your Highness, please.” energyan Jin immediately bowed and invited.

“I’m really going to get killed by you!”

Dustin glared at Margaret and had no choice but to get on the carriage.

Looking at today’s posture, it’s impossible to hide.

Once he refuses, he will definitely offend the eldest prince and cause some unnecessary trouble.

And he hates trouble the most.

“Aren’t you always confused about who to choose? If you meet my eldest brother tonight, maybe there will be an outcome.” Margaret smiled half-heartedly.

“maybe.”

Dustin was no longer in the mood to reply. He leaned on the carriage and fell asleep, his eyelids constantly twitching.

But he didn’t dare to really sleep, so he could only force himself to stay awake as much as possible.

After all, he is now a thorn in the side of the remnants of the Dragon Guard Pavilion, and there is no telling when he will encounter an assassin.

So we still have to be vigilant at all times to avoid capsizing in the gutter.

The carriage drove at a constant speed for about twenty minutes and finally stopped.

When I opened the car door curtain, I saw a very luxurious courtyard building standing in front of me.

Because there has never been a crown prince, there will be a huge gap between the rich and the poor among the princes.

If the mother’s family is powerful, then they will naturally be like a fish in water and enjoy endless prosperity and wealth.

On the contrary, the treatment of some down-and-out princes will be much worse because they do not have backstage support.

Of course, the eldest prince is obviously not in this case.

Judging from the other party’s luxurious mansion and well-informed information, its backstage is obviously not simple.

“Your Highness the Princess, Your Highness the Crown Prince, please come inside. The master has been waiting for you for a long time.”

energyan Jin lowered his head, bent his waist, and respectfully invited Dustin and the other two people in.

Walking into the mansion, the decoration inside is even more luxurious.

Not to mention the precious ornaments in the house, even the most common flowers, plants and trees are extremely rare species in the outside world and cannot be replaced with a thousand dollars.

Even Dustin couldn’t help but be secretly surprised by this rich financial resources.

Under the leadership of energyan Jin, Dustin and Margaret made many twists and turns and finally arrived at the main hall.

At this moment, in the main hall.

A handsome man about thirty years old was drinking tea slowly.

His face was a little pale, his body looked very thin, and he had a somewhat melancholy temperament between his eyebrows, making him look like a frail scholar.

This person is none other than the eldest prince of the Dragonmarsh Kingdom, Li Wenxing.
Chapter 1714​

…”

At this time, Margaret and Dustin walked in side by side.

Seeing the two of them, Li Wenxing immediately stood up to greet them with a smile on his face: “Margaret, long time no see.”

After saying that, he turned his eyes to Dustin and said with a smile: “This must be Logan, right? We haven’t seen you for ten years. I didn’t expect that the changes have been so drastic. I almost can’t recognize him.”

“The common people have met His Highness the First Prince.” Dustin bowed and saluted.

“We are all brothers, there is no need to be so open to outsiders.”

Li Wenxing immediately stretched out his hand and lifted Dustin’s bent waist: “Come on, come on, you two sit down, don’t be restrained, just treat this place as your home.”

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

“Thank you, brother.”

Dustin thanked Margaret and sat down next to them one after another.

“Logan, I’m really sorry for inviting you here late at night, but there are some things I have to do. I hope you can forgive me.” Li Wenxing took the initiative to apologize and was very polite.

“Your Highness is welcome.” Dustin smiled slightly: “It is an honor for ordinary people to be a guest in His Highness’s house.”

Li Wenxing opened his mouth. Just when he was about to say something, he saw Margaret next to him and said with a smile: “Margaret, a batch of precious jewelry has recently arrived in my house. You might as well go and pick it up. Whatever you like, just take it away. .”

Margaret glanced at Dustin, and then nodded: “Brother William’s kindness is hard to refuse, so I won’t be polite.”

Although she knew that the other party was deliberately trying to get away from her, she couldn’t refuse.

“energyan Jin, take the princess to the treasure house to have a look.” Li Wenxing made a gesture.

“Your Highness, please come with me.”

energyan Jin bowed to invite him and led Margaret out of the main hall quickly.

After the two left, Li Wenxing poured a cup of tea for Dustin and then got down to the topic: “Logan, to be honest, I invited you here late at night mainly because I have doubts and I need you to answer them.”

“Your Highness, please speak.” Dustin was neither humble nor arrogant.

“I heard that you just went to see your father? Did your father say anything to you?” Li Wenxing asked tentatively.

“Yes, the officials did meet me and talked to me about the heir.” Dustin did not hide it.

Since Li Wenxing had an informant in Reidxin Palace, he obviously knew about this topic for a long time.

Asking more questions on purpose is nothing more than testing.

“Oh? Heir?”

Li Wenxing raised his eyebrows: “Has your father decided who to choose?”

“That’s not true.”

Dustin shook his head: “The official said that all of you princes are very good. It’s really hard for him to choose, so he asked me to give an idea and see who is the most suitable.”

“So, who among us do you think is the most suitable to be the crown prince?” Li Wenxing asked meaningfully.

“Your Highness is joking. How can I dare to say anything about such a national matter?” Dustin answered ambiguously.

“It doesn’t matter, you can just chat casually and express your opinions. You don’t have to be restrained to say what you want.” Li Wenxing said.

“This…” Dustin looked embarrassed.

Li Wenxing quickly understood and patted his hands gently.

Soon, a beautiful maid came in carrying a gold-encrusted treasure box.

Li Wenxing took the treasure box, put it on the table, and then opened it slowly.

I saw a crystal clear white orb lying inside the treasure box.

The orb exudes a soft light, making people feel like they are bathed in the spring breeze, and they can vaguely smell a faint fragrance.

“Is this…the Sky Eye?”

Dustin’s pupils shrank and he looked surprised.
Chapter 1715​

The The Sky Eyes is one of the three sacred objects in the martial arts world.

As famous as the Sky Spirit Orb, it is a treasure that countless people dream of.

The The Sky Eyes is very magical and has endless uses.

Not only can he see through all illusions, but he can also decipher many sophisticated formations.

For example, if you mistakenly enter an illusion, or are trapped by a formation, you can immediately find the flaw by using your heavenly eyes.

Not only that, the Sky Eyes can also play a key role when fighting against others.

All the enemy’s attack methods, including weaknesses and killing moves, can be quickly seen through.

Even in terms of treasure hunting and appraisal, The Sky Eyes also has unique advantages.

Is it a baby? How much is it worth? Where exactly is it hidden?

The eyes of heaven can tell at a glance.

Dustin didn’t expect that there was such a treasure hidden in the eldest prince’s mansion.

“Logan really has a good eye!”

Li Wenxing smiled and said: “This object is indeed the The Sky Eyes. I have treasured it for many years and have never shown it to anyone. Today you and I are destined, so I will give this object to you as a meeting gift.”

“Absolutely not!”

Dustin waved his hands repeatedly: “This thing is too precious and the common people cannot afford it. Please take it back, Your Highness.”

“Hey! As the saying goes, treasures are given to heroes. If this thing is left in my hand, it will just gather dust and be of no use at all. Only by giving it to you can it exert its proper effect. Keep it, and you don’t have to be polite to me.” Li Wenxing pushed the treasure box forward.

“Your Highness, no reward for no merit, I really can’t accept this treasure.” Dustin shook his head again.

“How many years am I older than you? I have always regarded you as a younger brother. What does it mean for an older brother to give you a gift?”

Li Wenxing couldn’t help but stuff the treasure box into Dustin’s arms, and deliberately said with a straight face: “Take it, if you refuse it I will get angry.”

“This…” Dustin looked in a dilemma.

“Logan, your eyes will be of great use to you today!”

Li Wenxing suddenly said mysteriously: “The dragon veins were destroyed, and the five strands of dragon origin energy were scattered throughout the world. To find these five strands of dragon origin energy, it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack, but with the The Sky Eyes, the situation is completely different. .

Within a radius of ten miles, The Sky Eyes can sense the existence of any exotic treasure and give corresponding guidance.

With it, if you want to find the energy of dragon source, you will be like a fish in water, even more powerful than a tiger! ”

“Why do you think, Your Highness, that I will look for the energy of the dragon source?” Dustin suddenly asked.

Margaret said this before, and now Li Wenxing says the same.

He really doesn’t understand, what’s so good about Longdollar internal energy?

“For warriors, the internal energy of the Dragon Source is a rare treasure of heaven and earth. Finding one of it is a great opportunity. If all five strands of the internal energy of the Dragon Source are gathered together, it will be enough for you to directly step into the land of God. Wonderland!” Li Wenxing said in high spirits.

“Terrestrial fairyland?” Dustin’s eyelids twitched, and his face was full of surprise: “The energy of dragon source actually has such a wonderful effect?”

“certainly!”

Li Wenxing nodded heavily: “Now that the news has spread, all the sects in the world have taken action. Whether it is Jian Zong, Balermo Martial Alliance, or Mystical Order, they have all joined the treasure hunting army. Whoever finds the Dragon Source internal energy first , who is the supreme one in the world!”

“If that’s the case, why doesn’t His Highness lead someone to find it himself? With the help of the The Sky Eyes, it should be easier to succeed.” Dustin asked.
Chapter 1716​

“I have been weak and sick since I was a child. I can’t stand the hardships. Traveling through mountains and rivers is not suitable for me. Besides, I am just a scholar. What do I need this dragon source energy to improve my cultivation?

Don’t hesitate, take it. You are the future King of West Lucozia and the pillar of the country. The stronger you are, the more prosperous the country will be.

If I have the chance to inherit the throne, I will share the world with you and create glory together! “

Li Wenxing smiled and patted Dustin on the shoulder. The last sentence was very obvious.

If you accept my baby, you have to support me in my rise to power. This way you are good and I am good and everyone is good.

“It’s hard to refuse His Highness’s kindness, so the ordinary people will just thank you.”

Now that the words have come to this, Dustin can no longer refuse.

The main reason is that the The Sky Eyes plays a huge role in finding the dragon’s source of energy.

And the energy of the dragon source can quickly improve his cultivation level, and can even allow him to reach the sky in one step and directly enter the land of gods!

For a warrior, this is undoubtedly a fatal temptation.

Even if it was against his conscience, he would accept this gift.

The two chatted for a while in the main hall and roughly confirmed the cooperative relationship.

It wasn’t until Margaret finished picking out the treasures and walked in again that Dustin chose to say goodbye and leave.

There was nothing he could do, he was too sleepy to care about greetings, he just wanted to go home and take a nap.

When I walked out of Li Wenxing’s mansion, it was already one o’clock at midnight.

Dustin was so sleepy that he couldn’t open his eyes and yawned again and again.

After getting in the car, Margaret glanced at the treasure box in Dustin’s arms, and said with a half-smile: “It seems that you have reached a deal with the eldest brother?”

“I can’t help it. He gave me too much. I really don’t know how to refuse.” Dustin shook his head.

“I didn’t expect that a dignified The Kirin would be confused by wealth and lust.”

Margaret’s tone was a little playful: “Have you ever considered that if you agree to support the eldest brother to ascend to the throne, the other princes will regard you as a thorn in their side.”

“Of course I know this, so I will only help secretly and will never support openly, otherwise it will be too troublesome.” Dustin replied.

“As my father said, the eldest brother is indeed a wise king, and he is tolerant, but unfortunately he is weak and sick, and his lifespan is short. Are you sure you want to choose him?” Margaret asked tentatively.

“What can I do? It’s all that old fox…it’s all your father’s bad idea.”

Dustin changed his words in time: “If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be in a dilemma now and be roasted on the fire.”

“My father is under too much pressure, and I have no choice but to do this. Now the government is unstable, and there are constant internal and external troubles. If the new emperor does not get the support of your West Lucozia Palace, he will be doomed sooner or later. Therefore, my father will let you You choose, on the one hand, it shows sincerity, on the other hand, it also unconditionally trusts you.” Margaret explained. “I may not be able to accept this sincerity and trust.”

Dustin sighed softly: “Forget it, I’m too lazy to care about this. Let Rufus Rhys handle this problem.”

Dustin leaned on the car and slowly closed his eyes.

Just when he was about to take a rest, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Due to inertia, Dustin became unstable and fell directly into Margaret’s arms.

What hits your face is warmth and fragrance.
Chapter 1717​

“what’s the situation?”

Dustin was confused and felt the soft fragrance hitting his nostrils.

After finally coming back to his senses, it happened that he had fallen into Margaret’s arms.

Margaret’s clothes are very loose, and you can’t notice anything at first glance.

Then after you really get in touch with it, you will understand what it means to be magnificent and have hidden mysteries.

“what are you doing?”

Margaret frowned, feeling ashamed and angry.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to do it. The carriage suddenly stopped just now and I couldn’t sit still, so…” Dustin was a little embarrassed.

“Haven’t you touched enough? Take your hands away quickly!” Margaret yelled.

“Sorry, sorry.” Dustin was so frightened that he immediately retracted his hand.

Sure enough, one cannot be too tired, otherwise the reaction will be slow.

“What’s going on outside?” Margaret asked, raising her voice.

“Your Highness, someone is blocking the way.” The groom replied.

“Is it possible that he is an assassin who blocked the road in the middle of the night?”

Margaret opened the car door curtain and took the lead to step out.

Dustin patted his face, refreshed himself, and walked out of the carriage.

At this moment, a heavily armed escort appeared at the intersection ahead.

This escort is covered in silver armor, has sharp eyes, and has a strong aura. They are obviously the best among the best.

“It’s actually the Silver Armor Army? Why are they here?” Margaret was a little surprised.

“Silver Armor Army? What’s the origin?” Dustin asked curiously.

“These are the private armies of my second emperor brother Li Hectorglong.”

Margaret explained: “My second emperor brother has practiced martial arts since he was a child. He is extremely brave and has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats on the battlefield. He has a private army of his own, which is well-known as the Guards.”

“The second prince’s people?”

Dustin frowned slightly: “I have no enmity with the second prince, why did he send an army to arrest me?”

“Maybe it’s not arrest, but invitation.” Margaret quickly reacted.

As soon as he finished speaking, a burly general suddenly walked out of the silver-armored army in front.

The general walked up to Dustin and Margaret, clasped his fists and saluted: “The last ten thousand generals have met Her Royal Highness the Princess and their Royal Highness the Crown Prince!”

“I wonder why General Wan blocked the road late at night?” Margaret said calmly.

“Go back to Your Highness the Princess. By order of the Second Prince, I have come to invite Your Highness the Crown Prince to come to your residence for a gathering.” Wan ZTyler was very direct.

Dustin and Margaret looked at each other and basically guessed the reason.

As soon as the front leg left the eldest prince’s mansion, the second prince’s people immediately appeared. It was obvious that the second prince should also have received the relevant news.

“General Wan, please go back and tell His Highness the Second Prince that I am seriously injured and urgently need rest. After I recover from the injury, I will definitely visit you.” Dustin said with a shrug.

Grass! Is it over yet? Are you going to stop letting people sleep?

Everyone was so full that they didn’t rest in the middle of the night, but they liked to invite people to drink tea and chat.

You guys can’t sleep, I want to sleep!

I cursed in my heart, but I still had to look polite on the outside.

“His Royal Highness, there are many famous doctors in the Second Prince’s residence, all of them are skilled in rejuvenation. No matter how injured you are, they can be cured quickly.” Wan ZTyler said without being humble or arrogant.

“The injury is only secondary. The main thing is that I have an emergency at home and need to go back to deal with it immediately. Let’s make another appointment.” Dustin refused again.

“Your Highness, the Second Prince has been waiting for you for a long time. No matter what urgent matter you have, it is best to meet with you first. And you can rest assured that the Second Prince is just chatting with you for a few words and will not delay you for long.” Wan ZTyler said with his fists in his hands.
Chapter 1718​

“What if I have to go back?” Dustin’s face turned cold.

“We are just following orders. Please don’t embarrass the general, Your Highness.” Wan ZTyler stood upright, showing no intention of backing down.

The hundreds of silver-armored troops behind him were even more eager to watch.

Looking at this battle, if Dustin refuses to go, he may be forcibly taken away.

“His Royal Highness, you are already here. It doesn’t hurt to meet. It’s always good to have one more friend.” Margaret lightly touched Dustin as a reminder.

Now is not the time to be willful. No matter how sleepy or tired you are, you have to endure it.

After all, if you go to the eldest prince’s residence but not to the second prince’s residence, it is a typical failure to give face.

With the domineering character of the second prince, no one can guarantee that he will do anything outrageous.

“Okay, then let’s ask General Wan to lead the way.”

Dustin took a deep breath, but in the end he didn’t have an attack.

It feels good to say no for a while, but there will be a steady stream of trouble afterwards.

“Thank you for your favor, Your Highness, please!”

Wan ZTyler got out of the way and respectfully sent Dustin and Margaret into the car.

After burning a stick of incense, the vehicle stopped at the entrance of a magnificent courtyard.

Compared with the luxury of the eldest prince’s residence, the second prince’s residence is even more magnificent.

There are statues of gods of war, martial arts arenas, and arsenals.

Dustin and the other two got out of the car and followed Wan ZTyler all the way in. Wherever they passed, there were numerous outposts and hidden posts, and the security was very tight.

After passing many checkpoints, Dustin and the two finally arrived at the main hall.

In the main hall at this moment, several generals wearing armor were discussing military affairs with a young man.

The man was tall, with a heroic face, and exuded an aura of domineering power.

This person is none other than the Second Prince Li Hectorglong!

Seeing Dustin and Margaret come in, Li Hectorglong immediately stopped talking, stood up, and said with a hearty smile: “Welcome, welcome, brother Logan and sister Margaret to my humble home!”

“I’ve met the Second Emperor Brother.” Margaret bowed and saluted.

“It’s honor to meet His Highness the Second Prince.” Dustin cupped his hands and clasped his fists.

“Come, come, we are all our own, no need to be restrained, sit down quickly.”

Li Hectorglong invited the two of them to sit down and shouted: “Come here! Serve tea!”

Soon, fine fragrant tea and expensive snacks were served one by one.

Dustin was not polite, he directly picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.

I can’t help it, I’m really sleepy, I have to drink some tea to refresh myself.

“Brother Logan, I haven’t seen you for many years, but you are still so majestic!” Li Hectorglong said with a smile.

“No matter what, His Highness is still more powerful. Compared with you, ordinary people are really nothing.” Dustin forced a smile.

“Hahaha… You are really getting better and better at talking, I like it!” Li Hectorglong smiled happily.

“Your Highness, I wonder why you summoned ordinary people late at night?” Dustin went straight to the topic.

“Brother Logan, I heard that you first went to see the emperor father, and then went to the palace of the great emperor brother. I wonder if this is the case?” Li Hectorglong blew hot tea gently.

“Yes, it does happen.” Dustin nodded and admitted straightforwardly.

“Oh?” Li Hectorglong raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised by Dustin’s calmness. After two seconds of silence, he finally asked: “Brother Logan, can you reveal what your father and elder brother said to you? “

“Don’t His Highness know what he said?” Dustin did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

If he was invited here in the middle of the night, it would be impossible to say that he didn’t hear any news.
Chapter 1719​

Seeing Dustin’s ambiguous answer, Li Hectorglong first narrowed his eyes and then laughed: “Brother Logan, to be honest, I am a martial artist. I am very good at killing enemies in battle. I really don’t understand the machinations and tricks. , especially the intelligence of information, is far weaker than that of the Great Emperor Brother, so I only know a little about many things.”

“So that’s it.”

Dustin nodded and said with a smile: “Actually, the officials and the eldest prince have nothing important to do with me. They just invited me to catch up with them after not seeing each other for many years.”

As soon as these words came out, Li Hectorglong’s eyes twitched, obviously unhappy.

A bearded general next to him even got up and shouted angrily: “Dustin! What do you mean? Reminiscing about old times in the middle of the night? Do you think my Highness is a fool? Believe it or not, I will kill you with a knife!”

As he spoke, he looked like he was about to draw his sword and take action.

“No rudeness!”

Li Hectorglong glared and angrily said, “Logan is the crown prince of West Lucozia, and he is also an honored guest in my house. You’d better show some respect to me!”

“Your Highness! This guy is treating you like a monkey, and there is not a word of truth in his mouth. If you ask me, I must give you a good beating before you become honest!” the bearded general shouted.

“Shut up!”

Li Hectorglong became angry, slapped him on the face, and shouted: “If you dare to be arrogant again, military law will serve you!”

“snort!”

Although the bearded general was a little dissatisfied, he finally calmed down.

It’s just that his pair of tiger eyes stared at Dustin, looking particularly unkind.

“Brother Logan, I’m really sorry. It was my lax discipline that caused my subordinates to be offended. Please forgive me.” Li Hectorglong said with a smile on his face.

“This general is outspoken and has a sweet temperament, which is understandable.” Dustin said calmly.

“Brother Logan, we are not outsiders. If you have anything to say, just say it.”

Li Hectorglong said meaningfully: “My father and eldest brother invited me late at night, obviously not to drink tea and chat, but to talk to you about something very important. I am not good at anything else, but I have nothing to say about my ability to do things. If you have If you need help, you can talk to me in detail.”

“Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I don’t need anyone’s help for the time being.” Dustin shook his head.

“It doesn’t matter, you don’t need it now, maybe you will need it later.”

Li Hectorglong smiled and then lightly snapped his fingers.

Immediately afterwards, the door opened.

A group of beautiful maids wearing traditional dress came in carrying various treasures.

There are gold and silver jewelry, jade antiques, magical weapons, and some unheard of rare treasures.

Back and forth, several groups of people came in and put down hundreds of treasures.

Under the illumination of the light, these treasures sparkle, dazzle and dazzle.

The most important thing is that these treasures are all treasures. If you pick one at random, it will be enough for an ordinary person to live a lifetime of wealth.

“Your Highness, what does this mean?”

Dustin glanced around and saw that all kinds of treasures were almost piled up into a mountain.

The total value is simply immeasurable.

If this was converted into money, it would be enough to build an army.

“Brother Logan, we hit it off right away. These treasures are my gift to you as a meeting gift, please accept them.” Li Hectorglong said with a smile.

“Your Highness, these treasures are too valuable. The common people deserve it. Please take it back.” Dustin looked frightened.

“Hey! What you said is a betrayal. Who among us two brothers is following whom? What does this small gift mean? As long as my brother and I become prosperous in the future, your benefits will definitely be indispensable!” Li Hectorglong said with high spirits.

“This…” Dustin was embarrassed.

“Don’t worry, just accept it. From now on, we two brothers will conquer the world together and share the blessings and hardships!” Li Hectorglong patted Dustin on the shoulder.
Chapter 1720​

“Second Emperor Brother…”

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Margaret was about to help, but Dustin suddenly said, “Your Highness is so kind. If I don’t appreciate it, it would be a bit ignorant. Okay, I will accept all these treasures!”

“Um?”

Margaret was stunned for a moment and swallowed the words that came to his lips.

what’s the situation?

What on earth is this guy going to do?

First, he accepted Li Weimin’s benefits and promised to secretly help him, and now he is willing to accept Li Hectorglong’s treasure. Isn’t this a typical wallflower?

Is the dignified Prince of West Lucozia so unable to withstand temptation?

“Hahaha…Okay! It’s really refreshing!”

Seeing Dustin agree, Li Hectorglong couldn’t help laughing out loud: “Come here! Pack up all these treasures and send them to Brother Logan’s house soon!”

“Thank you for the gift, Your Highness!” Dustin saluted with clasped fists.

“My brother, you’re welcome.”

Li Hectorglong smiled and suddenly changed the topic: “But then again, my father asked you to have a secret talk tonight, isn’t there anything special to say?”

Hearing this, Dustin looked around and hesitated to speak.

Li Hectorglong quickly understood and immediately stepped back: “You all stand aside, don’t hinder me from having a heart-to-heart talk with Brother Logan.”

“yes!”

Everyone sighed in victory and left one after another.

“Imperial sister, please go to the side hall to rest for a while.” Li Hectorglong looked at Margaret again.

“Yes.” Margaret looked deeply at Dustin and went out with full of doubts.

“Brother Logan, there are no outsiders here. If you have anything to say, please just say it.” Li Hectorglong asked.

Dustin closed the hall door, deliberately lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: “Your Highness, to be honest, the officials did tell me some secrets, but it concerns the country, the country, and the country. It is very important. You must not reveal anything.”

“Don’t worry, I will keep my mouth shut!” Li Hectorglong promised, patting his chest.

Although he knew that Dustin had a secret conversation with his father and brother, he didn’t know what they talked about specifically.

The only thing that is certain is that this secret conversation is of great importance and will determine the future situation.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy Dustin, just to be one step ahead.

“Your Highness, the official has been in poor health recently and has already planned to abdicate. However, the position of crown prince has not yet been secured, which makes the official very distressed. The reason why the official summoned me late at night is to ask me who to choose. Is the crown prince the most suitable?” Dustin lowered his voice.

“Crown Prince?”

Li Hectorglong’s pupils shrank and he became energetic instantly.

As expected, he guessed correctly, his father was on his last legs and he had to find an heir to take over.

He summoned Logan Rhys and asked for his opinion, probably because he was considering the influence of the West Lucozia Palace.

“Brother Logan, how did you answer my father?”

Li Hectorgwu was nervous and looking forward to it.

He is extremely brave and has made countless achievements, so he should be favored by his father, right?

“The princes each have their own strengths, and I don’t know how to choose, so the official asked me to think about it carefully, and then go back and resume my life when I have made up my mind.” Dustin put on a troubled expression.

“Brother Logan!”

Li Hectorglong suddenly became excited, grabbed Dustin’s hand, and said with shining eyes: “You and I feel like old friends when we see each other. Although we are not related by blood, we are better than brothers. If I want to compete for the position of crown prince, you should do my best.” Will you support me?”
Chapter 1721​

Li Hectorglong’s eyes were staring straight at Dustin, his face full of enthusiasm and expectation.

He originally just wanted to get some important information out of Logan Rhys’s mouth, but he didn’t expect that the other party would be so important that it could directly affect his father’s decision.

In other words, Logan Rhys has half of the decision-making power on whether he can become the crown prince and ascend to the throne.

This was enough to make him ecstatic.

“His Royal Highness is unparalleled in bravery and has repeatedly made military exploits. He is naturally the most suitable candidate for the crown prince. However, the final decision-making power is still in the hands of the officials. I can only give you a suggestion.” Dustin said.

“It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter, as long as you fully support me, that’s enough!” Li Hectorglong said brightly.

“His Royal Highness is so generous and congenial with me, so I naturally support His Highness to become the crown prince.” Dustin said.

“Okay! With your words, I feel relieved.”

Li Hectorglong laughed loudly: “Brother Logan, from today on, you are my biological brother. If you encounter any trouble in the future, just come to me!”

“Thank you, Your Highness.” Dustin nodded slightly.

“Come here! Serve the wine!”

Li Hectorglong shouted loudly, ordered someone to bring wine, and then drank three glasses of wine with him to celebrate.

“Your Highness, it’s getting late. I’m really tired. Can you allow me to go back and rest first?” After three glasses of wine, Dustin decisively resigned.

“Of course it’s no problem. You’ve been tired for a long day, so you should take a good rest.”

Li Hectorglong smiled and nodded, then shouted: “Come here! Send His Royal Highness back to his home!”

“The grass people say goodbye.”

After Dustin bowed, he and Margaret left the mansion.

I have to admit that tonight’s trip was a lot of money.

Although the quality of the treasures given by Li Hectorglong was inferior to Li Wenxing’s Sky Eyes, it was better in quantity.

One or two hundred pieces of treasures filled several large boxes, and each piece was worth tens of thousands of gold.

With such a fortune, he will be able to do many things in the future.

On the way back, Margaret, who was traveling with him, finally couldn’t help but speak: “Logan Rhys, you really don’t refuse anyone who comes. First you accepted the benefits from the eldest emperor brother, and now you accept the baby from the second emperor brother. You are so two-pronged.” Is it appropriate to eat?”

“What’s inappropriate? The eldest prince and the second prince insist on giving me things. I can’t refuse their kindness, can I?” Dustin said with a yawn.

“Do you know what it means to use people’s money to eliminate disasters? You want both sides, so how do you choose in the end?” Margaret asked.

“What does it have to do with me? Your father has the power to decide the successor. I’m just a messenger.” Dustin shrugged.

“What do you mean, do you want the benefits but don’t want to take the responsibility?” Margaret asked.

“You can’t say that. I am of a low status, so how can I bear any responsibility? As for the so-called benefits, just think of them as the errand fees I paid for running around.” Dustin said lazily.

“Your errand fee is really not that expensive.” Margaret was speechless.

I didn’t realize it before, why is this guy so thick-skinned?

“Then again, in fact, in the current situation, if I don’t accept these treasures, it will bring more trouble. Only by accepting them can I stabilize the hearts of your eldest and second emperor brothers. In this way, I can also It can be easier.” Dustin reluctantly kept his eyes open.

“Aren’t you afraid that they will find out that you won’t please both parties in the end?” Margaret said meaningfully.

“What’s there to be afraid of?”

Dustin said with an indifferent expression: “No matter how ugly I look, it is impossible for your eldest and second emperor brothers to break up with me. Instead, they will think that I am simple and easy to be bribed. In the future, I will only Give me more treasures, after all, I still have some value.”
Chapter 1722​

“So that’s what you had in mind.”

Margaret was slightly startled, and then suddenly realized.

She probably understood what Dustin did.

As the other party said, if the two princes invited them late at night, if they refused in person, they would definitely offend others and end up being thankless.

On the contrary, if we work both ways and make the two princes happy, not only will there be many benefits, but we can also avoid quarreling with each other.

Although it looks greedy on the surface, I have to admit that the other party’s approach is the optimal solution.

Anyway, if a bowl of water is flat, neither side will be offended.

“I have no choice. I’m helpless. If I had a choice, do you think I would be willing to accept these treasures? These are hot potatoes and heavy responsibilities. In order to take care of the overall situation, I can only sacrifice myself.” Dustin shook his head. The way.

“Before you say this, please put away the smile on your lips.” Margaret rolled his eyes.

This guy is getting more and more shameless, and he still behaves when he gets an advantage.

“Your Highness Princess, I am not a solitary eater. You can pick whatever you like from the treasures in the box and take away whatever you like.” Dustin said very proudly.

“Humph! That’s pretty much it.” Margaret smiled with satisfaction.

If you stay with me for a whole night, you still have to pay for some hard work.

“Your Highness, I will rest in the car for a while. Call me again when you get home. I really can’t bear it anymore.”

Dustin didn’t have the energy to speak anymore, so after giving a warning, he leaned on his seat and began to fall asleep.

As a result, less than three minutes into my sleep, the vehicle suddenly stopped.

Due to inertia, Dustin’s body fell forward again. This time Margaret reacted quickly, stretched out his slender hand and directly pressed Dustin’s head to prevent him from getting close.

“What’s going on? You’re home so soon?”

Dustin opened his eyes drowsily, and his original double eyelids turned into three eyelids, and he was still trembling.

So sleepy, really so sleepy.

“Logan Rhys, it seems you won’t be able to sleep tonight.”

Margaret got out of the car and saw another group of people appeared in front of him.

The entire intersection has been completely blocked, and it seems that they have been waiting for a long time.

“No way? Is there someone blocking the way again?”

Dustin shook his head, tried his best to wake up, and got out of the car to take a look.

Sure enough, the situation was as expected.

“****! Is this going to be over or not?”

Dustin finally couldn’t help but cursed.

As soon as he came out of Li Hectorglong’s house, before he had gone ten miles, trouble started again.

If he continues like this, he will probably be tortured to death.

“Don’t be so grumpy. It looks like I’m here to give you money again. The more the merrier.” Margaret said teasingly.

She couldn’t help but want to laugh when she saw Dustin looking so depressed, as if he had a weak kidney.

You are so young, why can’t you stay up all night?
Chapter 1723​

“Sigh…it’s so tiring to make this money!”

Dustin sighed, his face full of helplessness.

His whole body now showed exhaustion in every cell.

Why is it so hard to get some sleep?

“Brother Logan, it’s been so long!”

Just as Dustin and the two were whispering, a young man in rich clothes walked over with a group of people.

The man has a majestic appearance, a tall and straight figure, and a face full of elegance. Especially when he smiles, he makes people feel like spring breeze.

This person is surprisingly the third prince of the Dragonmarsh Kingdom, Li JunThompson!

“Brother Logan, after ten years of separation, you have become more and more handsome.”

Li JunThompson approached with a smile, as if he was an old friend reunited after a long separation, and looked enthusiastic: “I remember we hunted together when we were children, but my archery skills are much worse than yours, Brother Logan.”

“It turns out to be His Highness the Third Prince, long time no see.” Dustin forced a smile.

“I’ve met Brother Three Emperors.” Margaret took the initiative to salute.

“Oh? Are you there, my dear sister? It just so happens that you and Brother Logan come to sit in my house.” Li JunThompson extended the invitation warmly.

“Your Highness, Harmon Min has some urgent matters to deal with at home. Why don’t we meet again another day?” Dustin still tried to struggle.

It’s not that he doesn’t love money, but he wants to sleep more.

“Brother Logan, why are you so anxious? You might as well tell me, maybe I can help.”

Li JunThompson smiled and said: “In Stonia City, although I can’t cover the sky with one hand, I can call the wind and rain. No matter what trouble you encounter, I can make suggestions for you.”

“How dare you bother Your Highness with my affairs?” Dustin declined politely.

“Hey! Who of us is following the other, why are we so open-minded? If you have anything to say, just ask, I will never refuse.” Li JunThompson looked very forthright.

“Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. Actually, it’s not that urgent. I can handle it myself.” Dustin smiled.

“Since you’re not in a hurry, come and sit at my house. We haven’t gotten together for a long time.” Li JunThompson extended the invitation.

“Okay, excuse me.”

Dustin had no choice but to nod.

He knew that he couldn’t escape today.

The eldest prince and the second prince have both met. If they don’t talk nonsense to the third prince, it probably won’t be easy to explain.

Ten minutes later, Dustin and the two walked into Li JunThompson’s mansion.

Compared to the luxury of the eldest prince and the grandeur of the second prince, Li JunThompson’s palace seemed relatively mediocre.

Of course, these are just the surface.

With Dustin’s eyesight, he could see that there was a mystery hidden in Li JunThompson’s mansion.

Not only did many masters live in seclusion, but they also set up a large number of traps.

If anyone dares to trespass, there is only one way to die.

“Brother Logan, you must be hungry after traveling all the way. I have ordered people to prepare sumptuous food and wine. Please come here.”

Li JunThompson greeted Dustin with a smile and invited them into the dining room.

At this moment, the aroma of wine overflowed in the dining hall, the food was still hot, and the timing was perfect.

After some tossing, Dustin was indeed hungry, especially after smelling the aroma of rice and wine, his stomach growled and he started to protest in various ways.

“Brothers Logan, we are all from our own family, so you’re welcome, feel free to eat with all your heart.” Li JunThompson said with a smile.

“Then I won’t be polite.”

Dustin didn’t say any greetings, picked up his rice bowl and started eating.

Although I am very tired, I can’t go hungry. I need to eat full first.

“Royal sister, please.”

“Brother Imperial, please.”

After Li JunThompson and Margaret were polite to each other, they also started eating and drinking.
Chapter 1724​

Of course, compared to Dustin’s gobbling, the two of them were much more elegant, chewing slowly and only taking a small taste.

After a stick of incense, Dustin finally had enough to eat and drink.

The originally flat abdominal muscles suddenly bulged, and it was hard to be too satisfied.

“Hiccup~!”

After finishing the last glass of wine, Dustin couldn’t help but let out a long belch.

At this time, it would be perfect if I could have a good sleep.

etc!

Why am I getting sleepy?

The more I eat, the more I feel sleepy.

“Brother Logan, are you satisfied with your meal?” Li JunThompson asked with a smile.

“Satisfied, satisfied, of course, they are all rare delicacies. I really enjoyed it today.” Dustin looked like he was still satisfied.

When I’m hungry, **** tastes good.

“As long as you’re satisfied.”

Li JunThompson smiled and nodded: “Brother Logan, I would like to ask, what are you doing wandering around without rest at night? A lot of things happened today. There will be check-ins inside and outside the Forbidden City. You should be careful.”

“Oh, we just went to His Highness the Second Prince’s residence.” Dustin replied calmly without hiding anything.

He no longer wanted to go around and around, so he wanted to finish his work early and go home early to sleep.

“oh?”

Li JunThompson pretended to be surprised: “Brother Logan, do you have anything important to do when you go to my second brother’s house so late?”

“The officials are worried about the crown prince. His Royal Highness the Second Prince invited him late at night, mainly to ask about relevant matters.” Dustin said.

“Crown Prince?”

Li JunThompson’s pupils shrank and he asked hurriedly: “Does the father want to make his second brother the heir apparent?”

“That’s not true.”

Dustin shook his head: “The official said that you brothers each have their own strengths. He didn’t know who to choose, so he asked me to give him an idea.”

“Oh? Which of our three brothers do you think is more suitable to be the crown prince?” Li JunThompson asked.

“I think it’s useless. We have to rely on the officials to make decisions.” Dustin shook his head.

“Brother Logan, please stop being modest. When my father calls you into the palace late at night and asks you about the crown prince, he will definitely consider your suggestions. As long as you say a few nice words, there is a high probability that it will happen!” Li JunThompson said. He said solemnly.

“No way? Am I that powerful?” Dustin started to pretend to be dumbfounded.

“Of course!”

Li JunThompson said with a serious face: “Brother Logan, I won’t hide it from you. I am very interested in the position of crown prince. As long as you support me in taking the position, I will definitely thank you deeply when the matter is accomplished?”

“this……”

Dustin made it difficult for him, but he secretly despised him in his heart.

Your eldest and second brothers spend a lot of money to win over people, and they are full of sincerity.

It’s better for you, you don’t have anything, you just rely on your mouth to make cakes.

Too stingy, right?

“Why, Brother Logan doesn’t believe in my strength?”

Li JunThompson said confidently: “Although the eldest and second brothers are a few years older than me, when it comes to talent and ability, I think I am better than both of them. If I become the crown prince, I will definitely be able to lead the Dragonmarsh Kingdom to expand its territory in the future. To create greater glory, by then, you will be my right-hand man, and your benefits will definitely be indispensable.”

“The second prince is ambitious and the common people admire him. However, the common people have little talent and little knowledge, so it is really difficult for them to take on big responsibilities.”

Dustin shook his head, but his heart kept urging him.

Dude, you bribed me!

If you don’t bribe me, how can I support you?

You don’t want to be a wolf with nothing, do you?
Chapter 1725​

“Hey! Brother Logan, there is no need to be humble. You are the The Kirin who was famous all over the world back then. Even if you have been idle for several years, you are still extraordinary. I believe in your ability!”

Li JunThompson patted Dustin on the shoulder, acting like a big brother.

Dustin secretly thought, is this a problem of ability? This is because the money is not in place.

If you were as generous as your two brothers, I wouldn’t be sloppy with you here.

Complaints are complaints, but Dustin remained calm on the surface: “Your Highness, thank you for your praise. My reputation is nothing compared to yours.”

“Brother Logan, you might as well consider cooperating with me.”

Li JunThompson said meaningfully: “Among all the princes, I have the greatest hope of ascending to the throne. If I have your support, I will be even more powerful. Being on my side is the most correct choice, and at the same time, it is also the investment with the greatest return.” .”

“This…” Dustin showed a thoughtful expression.

Normally speaking, as long as you are not stupid at this time, you will know to lure someone with a lot of money and strike while the iron is hot.

But Li JunThompson didn’t react at all. He just smiled and drank to himself, as if he wanted Dustin to think about it.

In his opinion, no matter what Dustin’s status was, he was just a minister.

If you are a minister, you will have the enlightenment of the minister.

He is a dignified prince, capable of courteous and virtuous corporal, and warm to win over, which has already given him a lot of face.

How could Dustin have the courage to refuse?

At this time, Margaret, who was standing next to him, couldn’t stand it any longer and reminded: “Brother Three Emperors, if you want His Highness to support you, you have to show something, right? Otherwise, it will seem a bit lacking in sincerity.”

Hearing this, Li JunThompson pretended to be surprised and slapped his head: “Hey! Look at my brain, I almost forgot about business.”

With that said, Li JunThompson took out a jade pendant from his arms, handed it to Dustin, and said with a smile: “Brother Logan, this is a piece of top-quality Hetian jade, worth thousands of gold. It can be regarded as a meeting gift from me.”

“Hetian jade?”

Dustin’s eyes twitched and he was speechless for a moment.

What the eldest prince Li Wenxing gave as a gift was the most precious martial arts treasure, the Sky Eyes with infinite magical powers.

The second prince Li Hectorglong sent several boxes of treasures. The treasures inside were each worth tens of thousands of gold, enough to build an army.

It’s better for you, just give me a jade pendant.

What do you think I am? Beggar?

Do you look at me like I’m missing a jade pendant?

The majestic prince of a country, are you too stingy?

You are so picky and fussy, even reluctant to spend money to fight for the throne. How can you be the king of a country?

“Your Highness, this treasure is too valuable, and the common people deserve it.” Dustin waved his hands repeatedly.

Although he didn’t show any disdain, there should be some clues in his indifferent attitude, right?

“Hey! You don’t have to be polite to me. As long as you support me in taking the position in the future, I can have as many treasures as this!” Li JunThompson said proudly.

It’s nice words, but it has no real benefit.

“His Highness is indeed very generous, so the common people will thank you first.”

Dustin forced a smile and finally took the baby into his bag.

Although Li JunThompson is very stingy, he does not want to give up the things he brings to his door.

After all, no matter how small a fly is, it is still meat.

“Hahaha… Then I wish us a happy cooperation!” Li JunThompson took the initiative to extend his hand.

“It’s a pleasure to cooperate.” Dustin said with a smile on his face, but he was very disappointed in his heart.
Chapter 1726​

After struggling for a long time and wasting time to sleep, I ended up with a jade pendant. It was really shabby.

They are both princes, why is there such a big gap?

That’s all, let’s go home and wash up and sleep.

“Your Highness, it’s getting late, so I’ll take my leave first.” Dustin took the initiative to say goodbye.

“Go ahead, go ahead, I’ll come back to you if anything happens.” Li JunThompson nodded with a smile.

After a few simple greetings, Dustin and Margaret quickly said goodbye and left.

Walk out the door and back to the car.

Dustin looked at the ordinary jade pendant in his hand, shook his head for a while, and sighed again and again.

“Your Highness, your third brother is too stingy, isn’t he? He just gave me a jade pendant, how can he bribe me?” Dustin complained.

“Brother Sanhuang is cautious. He won’t invest too much manpower and material resources before he is sure. It’s not bad to be able to give you a piece of top-quality Hetian jade.” Margaret said with a smile.

In fact, if she hadn’t spoken just now, Dustin would probably not even have jade.

With Li JunThompson’s character, he could just draw a big picture and settle the matter.

“Without comparison, there is no gap. Compared with your eldest brother and second brother’s treasure, it is really unsightly.” Dustin shook his head.

“Okay, don’t act like a good boy to get a bargain. You’ve already made a lot of money tonight, it’s time to be content.” Margaret rolled his eyes.

“Your Highness, you can’t blame me. It’s all your brothers who insist on buying me off. I don’t want these treasures even if I don’t want them.” Dustin shrugged.

After leaving the palace, I just wanted to go home and sleep, but I didn’t expect that the invitations kept coming one after another.

Although it was nerve-wracking, I did get a lot of benefits and it was a worthwhile trip.

“Logan Rhys, after receiving so many benefits, it’s time for you to contribute, right?” Margaret said suddenly.

“What help? I’m just a microphone. The real decision-making power lies in the hands of your father and my father. They are the two who determine the world.” Dustin kept yawning.

“It was before, but not now.”

Margaret said with a serious face: “My father’s health is getting worse and worse. Whether he can survive this year is a question. In addition, I heard that your father’s health is not optimistic. There has been some trouble in West Lucozia. .”

“It is said that good people don’t live long, and disasters last for thousands of years. Rufus Rhys has done many evil things, and he has countless blood on his hands. He is a typical disaster that lasts for thousands of years. He must be able to survive it.” Dustin said casually.

Even so, his heartbeat couldn’t help but speed up a bit.

He clearly remembered what Nestor said before. The other party said that the Dragon Protection Pavilion had been laid out for ten years and would soon be closed down.

If Nestor hadn’t lied, then there might have been a catastrophe in the West Lucozia Palace.

No matter what, I have to take the time to go back and take a look.

In the past, he hated his father’s inaction very much, but after a series of events, he suddenly understood his father’s difficulties.

“I hope that’s the case, but I advise you that it’s best to go back and see if you can be of any help.” Margaret reminded.

“Your Highness, don’t worry about me. The position of the royal heir has not yet been determined. If it is not handled well, there will be a bloody storm.” Dustin stretched his waist.

“Every time the throne changes, it is difficult to be calm. I just hope that this time it won’t be too serious.” Margaret sighed softly.

Whether it is the royal family or the West Lucozia Palace, the current situation is not optimistic.

Therefore, it is best for the two of them to work together to stabilize the situation as much as possible.

To achieve this, Longdollar internal energy is the key.

As long as you gather five strands of dragon source energy, everything can be changed.

Even, take charge of the world!
Chapter 1727​

“Your Highness, no one will bother me tonight, right?”

Dustin leaned on his seat and asked abruptly.

Repeated tossing and tossing had already caused him to have a nervous breakdown.

Every time he wanted to go home to sleep, someone would always appear blocking his way, which made him frightened now.

Even though I was so sleepy that I could barely open my eyelids, I still didn’t dare to sleep.

Because he was afraid that he would be woken up by someone just as he closed his eyes. That would be the most uncomfortable thing.

It’s like peeing halfway and then being forcibly stopped.

That feeling, not to mention how frustrating it is.

“What? You still think you don’t earn enough?” Margaret chuckled.

“Although making money is important, life is more important. I’m so tired. I just want to sleep now.” Dustin shrugged his eyelids.

“Don’t worry, the only ones who can compete for the position of crown prince are the three who are looking for you tonight. The rest are a little inferior in all aspects and will not join in the fun.” Margaret said.

“That’s good.”

Dustin took a long breath: “I can finally sleep peacefully tonight.”

“Don’t be too happy too early, I guess you won’t be able to sleep tonight.” Margaret shook his head.

“What’s going on? Didn’t you say no one bothered me?” Dustin sat up straight in an instant, looking a little excited.

“Don’t be so nervous. I said you can’t sleep tonight because it’s almost dawn. Look out the window.” Margaret pointed to the horizon.

Dustin looked along his line of sight, and sure enough he found that a glimmer of light had appeared at the end of the darkness in the sky.

This is a sign before dawn.

As if to confirm something, Dustin took out his mobile phone and looked at the time. It was already past five in the morning, and there was only less than an hour before dawn.

“Oh… I didn’t expect that I would be tortured all night long. What a sin!” Dustin sighed.

When it got dark, he felt very sleepy and just wanted to go to bed early.

As a result, from the moment Margaret arrived, everything seemed to be cursed. All kinds of troubles continued and never stopped for a moment.

It was hard to end it all, but it was almost dawn.

The whole night passed like this.

Vaguely, he felt that he was becoming more and more energetic.

My body is obviously very sleepy and exhausted, and my eyelids are constantly fighting, but why is my mind going in the opposite direction?

Please, can you let me have a good sleep?

“Young man has a strong body. It’s okay to stay up all night. Why don’t I stay up all night with you?” Margaret comforted her.

“Can you compete with me?”

Dustin said angrily: “Normally, it wouldn’t be a problem for me to stay up for three to five days, but this time, I’m really too tired!”

From the moment he climbed to internal energyxia Temple in energynshan Mountain, he never relaxed for a moment.

He has gone through many life-and-death battles before and after, and his body has long been exhausted. In addition, he has been injured. It is a miracle that he can survive until now.

“If you’re tired, just sleep in the car for a while. I’ll watch for you and call you when you get home.” Margaret smiled.

“The problem is, I can’t sleep now!” Dustin said with a sad face.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but since he knew it was almost dawn, his spirit has gotten better and better.

Obviously I really want to sleep, but I can’t sleep. It’s simply a kind of torture.

“I have learned some techniques to help you sleep, and I can help you.” Margaret said.

“Really?” Dustin was a little confused.

“Try it, maybe it can help you have a good sleep.” Margaret smiled.

“Okay, let’s just treat the dead horse as a live doctor.” Dustin had no choice but to nod.

Nothing is more important than sleep right now.

“First, you have to close your eyes and relax your whole body.” Margaret said softly.

Dustin leaned on his seat, slowly closed his eyes, and began to slowly relax his body.

“Pay attention to your breathing, try to relax yourself, and relax again.”

“Don’t be defensive, just relax a little bit from head to toe.”

“Good, that’s it.”
Chapter 1728​

“Now, imagine yourself lying on a calm sea, swaying with the waves.”

“There is a breeze blowing by your ears, stirring your hair.”

“…”

Margaret’s voice was soft, as if it contained a strange magical power.

After a few words, Dustin had fallen asleep completely, snoring loudly and rising and falling rhythmically.

“I fell asleep so quickly.”

Margaret smiled.

He took the initiative to sit next to Dustin and used his shoulders to catch the other person’s slowly lowered head.

At the same time, he also used one hand to hold his chin to prevent him from falling suddenly.

The vehicle continues to drive at a constant speed.

But instead of going back to Dustin’s villa, he went to a strange place.

…

Dustin had a dream, a long, long dream.

In the dream, I stood alone on the battlefield.

The corpses piled up in mountains at their feet.

The blood stained the entire earth red.

Looking around, there was not a living thing in sight, only a miserable scene.

It was as if he was the only one left in the whole world.

Whether they were relatives, friends, or enemies, they all fell in a pool of blood.

He didn’t understand what happened or what caused such a bloody scene.

All he knew was that he was scared and lonely.

Could it be… is this war?

There was no winner, the fighting continued and everyone died.

“Logan Rhys… Logan Rhys…”

After an unknown amount of time, Dustin suddenly heard a familiar voice.

The next second, he suddenly broke away from the nightmare and sat up from the bed.

Before he knew it, he was sweating profusely and panting.

“Margaret?”

Dustin’s eyes slowly focused, and the first thing he saw was a woman wearing white clothes and a hat and veil. It was Margaret.

“Are you having a nightmare? I just heard you shouting and killing.” Margaret asked softly.

“I did have a dream, a very strange dream.”

Dustin took a long breath and felt a chill on his back.

Fortunately it was just a dream, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

“Dreams are all opposite, don’t worry.” Margaret smiled.

Dustin glanced at the sky outside the window. It was already noon, and asked curiously: “Oh, by the way, how long have I been sleeping?”

“Two days and one night.” Margaret replied.

“What?”

Dustin was shocked: “I slept for so long? Why didn’t you wake me up?”

“I see you are sleeping so soundly and I don’t have the heart to wake you up. Besides, you are snoring so loudly that I can’t wake you up.” Margaret teased.

“Wait…this isn’t my home, is it? Where is this?”

Dustin glanced around and found that the decoration in the room was unfamiliar and feminine. Even the bed was scented.

“This is my private residence.”

Margaret explained: “There was an accident last night. For safety reasons, I didn’t send you home. I can only put you here temporarily.”

“An accident? What happened?” Dustin narrowed his eyes slightly.

“Last night, someone wanted to kill you!” Margaret said in shock.
Chapter 1729​

“kill me?”

Dustin frowned: “Could it be someone from the Dragon Protection Pavilion?”

He is now locked in a fight to the death with the Dragon Guard Pavilion, and those Dragon Guard Pavilions who are on the verge of breaking up will definitely not let him go easily.

“It’s not clear yet.”

Margaret shook his head slightly: “That night, we were ambushed halfway, but I was prepared and moved you in time. Fortunately, there was no accident.”

“If nothing else, they should be the remnants of Dragon Protection Pavilion.”

Dustin stretched out, his bones crackling all over his body, and sighed: “Fortunately, Your Highness the Princess is smart, otherwise I would be in danger.”

“When I invite you into the palace, I have to be responsible for your safety.”

Margaret smiled softly: “Besides, you are a key figure that everyone is paying attention to now. You cannot be damaged in the slightest. If something happens to you, the Dragonmarsh Kingdom will really be in chaos.”

“Your Highness, please stop putting pressure on me. I’m just a wanderer with no big ambitions. You’d better not have any expectations of me.” Dustin yawned.

Although I slept for two days and one night, I still felt that I was not completely full.

It’s lacking a little bit.

“You are blessed with destiny and destiny. You can’t avoid it. Even if you don’t do anything, you will still be in trouble. Rather than being forced into a corner in the end, it is better to prepare early and at least be able to choose the path you want to take. .” Margaret said meaningfully.

She has performed divination for Logan Rhys many times. Although she cannot predict the result, she can deduce something.

That is the major events that will happen in the Dragonmarsh Kingdom in the future, all related to Logan Rhys.

Even a small decision by the other party will affect the situation in the world.

“Choose your own path?”

Dustin raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly the dream he had just had rang out.

If he had a choice, he naturally did not want a war, because too many people would die.

Including your closest relatives and friends.

“Your Highness, after the contact the night before yesterday, I have a general understanding of your three royal brothers.”

Dustin suddenly changed the topic and said: “The three of them are not only capable of competing for the throne, but they are also extremely ambitious. They are the kind of people who can do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. To be honest, compared to your father, It’s really a big difference.”

To the Prince of West Lucozia, what Li Weimin did was indeed unkind and righteous.

But at least the other party can be regarded as a good king for the country and the people.

However, his three sons each have their own hidden agendas.

Over the years, he has made no achievements in terms of reputation, and has not even done anything worthy of praise from the public.

All the energy of the three people was spent on internal fighting.

On the one hand, he monitors his father, and on the other hand, he takes every possible precaution against his brothers and sisters.

The three of them have thoroughly studied the so-called emperor’s mind.

But what is missing is a heart of kindness.

“I grew up in the royal family, and there were so many powerful officials and assistants around me. Fighting for power and profit has almost become instinctive. I can’t blame them.” Margaret explained.

“You can speak for them.”

Dustin smiled: “Indeed, your three royal brothers cannot be said to be fatuous, but in my opinion, they do not have the ability and consciousness to be kings. Your father has obviously seen through this, so it has been difficult to make a choice.”

“Everyone will grow. No one is born to be an emperor. Maybe they will change after becoming a prince.” Margaret said.

“It’s difficult! If you use the future of the Dragonmarsh Kingdom to bet on whether your three royal brothers will change, the risk is too great. If the bet is wrong, the consequences will be disastrous.” Dustin shook his head.

“Your words are very strange. What exactly do you want to say?” Margaret quickly realized something was wrong.

“It’s nothing.”

Dustin smiled faintly: “I just want to ask you, do you have any intention of becoming the emperor? If so, I can choose to support you.”
Chapter 1730​

“What did you say?”

Margaret was stunned for a moment, unable to react.

She even suspected that she heard it wrong.

“Actually, I think you are quite good to be the emperor, and the officials should think so too. So, if you are interested, on behalf of the West Lucozia Palace, I will fully support your ascension to the throne.” Dustin said with a smile.

“Logan Rhys! Stop joking, this is not funny at all!”

Margaret’s tone became serious: “I am just a woman, how can I be qualified to be an emperor? There is no way the entire court can accommodate me.”

“What’s wrong with the woman?”

Dustin said seriously: “Who said that women can’t be emperors? Wasn’t there Wu Zetian in ancient times? Although you are a little younger than Emperor Wu now, you can still grow up slowly. As long as you work hard, you will definitely be successful. question.”

“Logan Rhys, I thank you for your trust, but I have no idea about this at all, so please give up this unrealistic idea.” Margaret sternly refused.

Throughout the ages, in all dynasties, there has been only one Wu Zetian.

And with the right time, place, and people all occupied, there was only such a glimmer of hope.

She didn’t think she could compare to a legendary figure like Emperor Wu.

The most important thing is that once she has the ambition to fight for power, she will definitely shock the world.

At that time, there will be another bloody storm, which is the scene she least wants to see.

“Forget it if you have no idea, I’ll just mention it casually. Of course, if you change your mind, you can tell me at any time.” Dustin smiled slightly.

As Li Weimin said, Margaret is the most suitable to be emperor among all the royal heirs.

It’s a pity that the other party is a girl.

It is indeed difficult to embark on this path of fighting for power.

Not to mention what will happen to the three princes, it is impossible for the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty to accept this result.

Of course, the most important thing is to look at Margaret herself.

If there is such an ambition, then Dustin will definitely support it; if not, it will be regarded as a joke.

“Your thinking is too fast, why do you mention this matter inexplicably?” Margaret’s tone was a little strange.

“It’s nothing, I just think you are the most suitable. Maybe after you become the emperor, the whole world will become different.” Dustin said with a smile.

“Don’t be stupid, this is impossible, you should consider my three royal brothers.” Margaret shook his head.

“Don’t be in a hurry. The position of Crown Prince is not a matter of a day or two. Let’s just let nature take its course.”

Dustin touched his stomach and asked tentatively: “Your Highness, do you have anything to eat here? I’m hungry again.”

“Wait a moment, I’ll go cook.” Margaret said.

“Isn’t it? Her Majesty the Princess actually cooks in person?” Dustin was a little surprised.

“What’s all the fuss about?”

Margaret rolled his eyes: “I left the palace very early and spent most of my time wandering around outside. Isn’t it normal to know how to cook?”

“So that’s it.”

Dustin suddenly smiled: “It seems that I am very lucky today to be able to taste the craftsmanship of Her Highness the Princess.”

“Stop being such a mouthful!”

Margaret said angrily: “There is fruit in the living room. If you are hungry, put it on the table first. The food will be ready in a while.”

After that, she walked out of the bedroom and started busy in the kitchen.

Dustin got out of bed, stretched out comfortably against the sunshine coming in from the window, and felt refreshed.

The matter of the Dragon Protection Pavilion has come to an end for the time being. Now, it is time to return to West Lucozia for a visit.

Chapter 1731

After eating and drinking, Dustin chose to say goodbye.

After sleeping for two days and one night, there are still many things to deal with, so I have to go back early to make arrangements.

Before getting into the car, Li internal energyngcheng suddenly called out Dustin and reminded: “Dustin, I gave you another fortune last night. Your crisis has not been completely resolved. You must be careful in the next period of time. “

“Don’t worry, I know what’s going on and I’ll leave first.”

Dustin nodded, said hello, and quickly left in the car.

When he got to the car, Dustin first called Natasha to report that she was safe, and then clearly informed Adam Spanner and Scarlet Spanner, briefly explaining what happened.

The general meaning is to prepare the Spanner Family. Once the battle for the right to inherit the throne begins, it will inevitably affect the entire court. As a royal family, the Spanner Family naturally cannot stay out of the matter.

An hour later, Dustin returned to the villa.

At this moment, Wan’er was cooking in the villa, while Lorenzo and Dr. Elijah were studying calligraphy together.

As for Maximus Kane, he closed his eyes to rest his mind and warm up his sword intention.

“who?”

When Dustin opened the door, the first person to react was Maximus Kane.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and the long sword across his leg was suddenly unsheathed and pointed directly at the door.

“it’s me.”

Dustin immediately identified himself.

“Mr. Rhys? Are you finally back?”

Maximus Kane’s eyes lit up: “Where have you been these two days? Why is there no news at all?”

“There was something urgent to do, so I was delayed for two days.” Dustin smiled.

He would never say that he slept outside for two days.

“Mr. Rhys, I have sent back the letter you gave me before to West Lucozia.” Maximus Kanedao.

“Just give it away.”

Dustin didn’t care and asked, “Oh, by the way, how are Uncle Lorenzo and Doctor Elijah doing?”

“They are fine. I have been vigilant these past two days just to be afraid of something going wrong. Fortunately, everything is calm,” Maximus Kanedao said.

“That’s good, thank you for your hard work.” Dustin nodded.

“Is Logan back?”

At this time, Lorenzo and Dr. Elijah walked out of the study.

They had been staying at home, so they didn’t know what happened in the past two days, so they didn’t have anything to worry about.

“Uncle Lorenzo, your complexion is getting better and better, and you seem to be recovering well.” Dustin observed carefully.

I found that Lorenzo’s face was rosy, his breath was even and strong, and he was no different from a normal person.

“Thanks to your medicine, otherwise I wouldn’t have recovered so quickly.”

Lorenzo smiled and followed, “Oh, by the way, the Prince of West Lucozia sent an envoy over yesterday when you were not here to ask about your current situation. Do you want to meet him in person?”

“The messenger from the royal palace? Who is it?” Dustin raised his eyebrows slightly.

“I don’t know. I haven’t been back for ten years. There are probably not many old subordinates left. Now they are all new faces.” Lorenzo said.

“Since you are here because of me, you have to see him no matter what. Where is this person now?” Dustin asked.

It seemed that it was his letter for help that attracted the attention of the palace, so they sent someone to check the situation.

It just so happened that he also wanted to take this opportunity to inquire about the situation in the palace.

“I don’t know where it is, but he left a phone number before he left. I’ll go and ask him right away.”

Lorenzo said, immediately ran back to the room, pulled out the number, and started asking about the situation.

After a while, Lorenzo ran out again and said, “Logan, the messenger from the palace said that he will wait for us at the Imperial Tower at eight o’clock tonight.”

“Okay, let’s go there tonight.” Dustin nodded.

He was already very familiar with the Imperial Building in South City and had been there several times recently.

Time passed quickly, and it was night in a blink of an eye.

Dustin drove out at seven o’clock, carrying Maximus Kane and Lorenzo, and arrived at the Imperial Tower in less than half an hour.

Chapter 1732

Tonight, the Imperial Building was different from the bustle of the past and seemed a little deserted.

Especially the second floor, which has been reserved and no outsiders are allowed in.

After Dustin revealed his identity, he led Lorenzo and Maximus Kane upstairs.

At this moment, there was only one person sitting in the VIP area on the second floor.

This man was dressed in black. He had an ordinary appearance, an ordinary figure, and a very ordinary temperament. He had almost no features on his body. He was the kind of person who would be hard to spot in a crowd.

“It’s honor to meet His Highness in this humble position!”

Seeing Dustin appear, the man immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed his head in salute.

“Who are you?”

Dustin asked calmly

“My humble name is Sun Tong, and I am the prince’s personal guard. When the prince learned that you were in trouble, he immediately sent me to help you.” The man named Sun Tong lowered his head and said.

“Personal guard?”

Dustin looked up and down and asked again: “How do you prove your identity?”

He is not a newbie in the world. He must ask questions clearly about things like this. It is impossible to just believe what the other party says.

“This is a token given by the prince to his humble position. Please take a look at it.”

Sun Tong took out a token from his pocket and handed it over with both hands.

Dustin took it and took a look, finally letting go of his guard.

The token is indeed the token of the Prince of West Lucozia, and only the most trusted personal guards are eligible to obtain it.

This token is enough to prove the identity of the other party.

“General Sun, we are all our own people. No need to be polite. Please get up.”

Dustin returned the token and helped Sun Tong up at the same time.

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

Sun Tong looked flattered.

“General Sun, let me introduce you. This is Zeng Jin’s deputy general of the Traditional Army, Lorenzo, General Lorenzo.” Dustin stretched out his hand to guide Lorenzo.

“It’s honor to meet General Lorenzo, and I have heard about General Lorenzo for a long time. It is such a blessing to see him today!” Sun Tong immediately clasped his fists and saluted.

“General Sun, you’re welcome. I’m old now, and you young people will rule the world from now on.” Lorenzo smiled.

“This is Maximus Kane, my friend.” Dustin directed Maximus Kane again.

“Brother Kevin!” Sun Tong clasped his fists again.

To be a friend of His Highness is obviously not an ordinary person.

“General Sun!” Maximus Kane also returned the gesture with fists clasped.

“Okay, we all know each other, sit down.”

Dustin waved to several people to take their seats, and asked at the same time: “General Sun, I have a few questions that I would like to ask you.”

“Excuse me, Your Highness, I must tell you everything I know in my humble position!” Sun Tong lowered his head.

“I heard that there has been some trouble in West Lucozia Prince’s Palace recently. Is it true or false?” Dustin asked.

“It’s not really troublesome, it’s just some spies doing some careful work. They’ve been active recently, and the palace has arrested a lot of people.” Sun Tong replied truthfully.

“Rufus Rhys…how is your health?” Dustin finally asked the answer he wanted to know most.

“Your Majesty, your health has always been good.” Sun Tong forced a smile.

“Answer honestly! No falsehoods!” Dustin suddenly shouted.

Sun Tong was startled, and with a “thud”, he knelt down and said in panic: “Back to Your Highness, the prince’s health is indeed not very good. He often coughs up blood in the middle of the night. He has sought many miracle doctors to no avail. In order to worry you. , Your Majesty has been hiding it from us and not letting us tell you. There is really nothing we can do about it because of our humble position, so please forgive me, Your Highness!”

“Coughing up blood in the middle of the night? Could it be that even the miracle doctor from West Lucozia can’t cure this disease?” Dustin frowned deeply.

“The miracle doctor said it was a terminal disease and there was no cure.” Sun Tong cried sadly.

“Terminally ill?” Dustin’s face darkened: “How long does Rufus Rhys have?”

“As short as half a month, as long as one year.” Sun Tong’s words were astonishing.

As soon as these words came out, Dustin felt as if he was struck by lightning, and his face turned pale.

Chapter 1733

“As short as half a month? As long as a year? How could this happen?”

Dustin froze, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes that he had never seen before.

Although he has always hated Li Wanjun’s inaction, after all, he is a father and son whose blood is dissolved in water.

Now that he heard that Li Wanjun’s deadline was approaching, he panicked for no reason.

There are not many relatives left around him. If even Rufus Rhys goes west, he really doesn’t know how to face it.

“Is this news reliable?”

Dustin spoke in a low voice, trying to appear calm.

The hand hidden under the table was slowly and unconsciously clenched.

“Back to Your Highness, not many people know about this, but it is absolutely true. Even if the prince doesn’t want me to tell you, I think you should know this.” Sun Tong lowered his head.

“Your Majesty has always been physically strong, why did he suddenly become like this?” Lorenzo asked.

“In the past ten years, Your Majesty has worked hard and dedicated his life. Not only did he have to guard West Lucozia and prevent barbarian invasions, but he also had to guard against the eyes of all internal forces. If things go on like this, even those who are strong-willed will not be able to bear it. Your Majesty is really suffering!” Sun Tong’s voice began to tremble.

As Li Wanjun’s personal guard, he naturally sees everything.

Zeng Jin’s King of West Lucozia was so majestic and domineering that even a sneeze could shock the government and the public.

But now, the hero is dying and his time is running out.

How pathetic.

“Sigh… The prince has indeed been burdened with too much in these years. He has carried the entire West Lucozia and nearly half of the Dragonmarsh Kingdom by himself. Although his achievements are unparalleled, he is too tired. “Lorenzo sighed, feeling sad.

“Rufus Rhys…did you say anything else?” Dustin suppressed his emotions and made himself look indifferent.

“The prince said that if you get tired or feel wronged outside, you can go back at any time. West Lucozia will always be your home!” Sun Tong said tremblingly.

“go back?”

Dustin looked at the teacup on the table, lost in thought: “It’s been so many years, it’s time to go back and take a look.”

“Great! I’ll make arrangements right away!”

Seeing Dustin agree, Sun Tong couldn’t help but look overjoyed.

My prince looked forward to the stars and the moon, hoping that His Highness could return to West Lucozia as soon as possible. However, due to some barriers in the past, His Highness never had any plans to go back.

Now that he heard His Highness personally agree, he was naturally overjoyed.

After ten years, father and son were finally reunited.

“Don’t worry, I still have some things to deal with here. I will return to West Lucozia in three days.” Dustin motioned for Sun Tong to sit down again.

“Okay, okay, as long as His Highness is willing to go back, you can do it anytime.” Sun Tong nodded repeatedly.

“The palace only sent you to Stonia this time?” Dustin said suddenly.

“Not just me, but a team of spies.”

Sun Tong said with a solemn face: “These are masters trained by the royal palace. They are all outstanding in ability. One is worth a hundred. However, in order to deceive others, I have dismissed them after entering the capital. If His Highness wants to see them, I will immediately send them away.” They brought it back.”

“Don’t bother. Since they are spies, let them hide in the dark.” Dustin shook his head slightly.

Anyone who can be called a secret agent is a one-in-a-million existence.

Not only are they brave and resourceful, but they also have some special skills.

Whether it is obtaining intelligence or assassinating important figures, you have to rely on these spies.

Many secret agents will never see the light of day and can only live under false identities.

Even after death, he will not get the honor he deserves.

Chapter 1734

This is a group of warriors who sacrifice themselves and walk in the darkness. Everyone is precious and needs to be protected.

“Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness.” Sun Tong breathed a sigh of relief.

His Royal Highness has a special status, and all forces are secretly watching. If the spies are gathered together, it will be easily exposed.

“You should know a lot about the affairs of the palace. First tell me, what is the situation now?” Dustin asked again.

“Back to Your Highness, it’s like this…”

Just when Sun Tong was about to say something, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps downstairs.

Several people looked at each other and became alert at the same time.

Before any action could be taken, a group of masked killers rushed forward.

These killers have sharp eyes and powerful auras, and they are obviously not good people.

The leader is wearing red, the four people around him are wearing white, and the rest are all wearing black.

“Who are you?!”

Maximus Kane took the lead in drawing his sword and blocking Dustin.

“Your Highness, you go first, I will take care of you.”

Sun Tong slowly pulled out the short knife from his waist, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

“Dustin! You destroyed our Dragon Protection Pavilion and killed our old pavilion master. Today I want you to pay with your blood!” the red-robed killer shouted angrily.

“Just a few of you? Can you kill me?”

Dustin sat quietly and took a sip of tea while talking.

He looked carefree and unconcerned.

“Arrogant kid, today I will show you the power of Dragon Protection Pavilion!”

The killer in red waved his hand suddenly and shouted: “Set up a formation! Kill him!”

“yes!”

The four white-clothed killers around him didn’t say anything and pounced on him with their swords drawn.

The speed of the four people was extremely fast, and their movements were mysterious. As they flashed and moved, almost only an afterimage could be seen.

The most important thing is that the four of them cooperate very well, both offensively and defensively, and with a perfect formation, the lethality is doubled.

“Let me meet you!”

Maximus Kane used the scabbard of his sword as a hidden weapon and threw it forward. Taking this opportunity, he quickly stepped forward and broke into the circle surrounded by four killers in white.

“You’re really looking for death!”

Tyler Yi sneered again and again, with a look of death.

The hierarchy of Dragon Protection Pavilion is strict, from low to high, they are ordinary members, deacons, protectors, worshipers, elders, deputy pavilion masters and pavilion masters.

He is a member of the Hulong Pavilion and is considered a high-level person. The four people who were killed just now are the protectors of the Dragon Pavilion.

To reach the level of a Dharma Protector, one must at least be a half-step master level master.

Especially after the four of them formed a formation, the strength they displayed was unmatched by even ordinary martial arts masters.

Sure enough, as soon as Maximus Kaneg broke into the formation, he screamed “Ah”, bounced back instantly, fell heavily to the floor, and vomited blood.

Although his current strength is close to that of a half-step master, it is still far behind when compared with the four guardians of the Dragon Protection Pavilion.

“Brother Kevin, please step aside for now and leave the four of them to me.”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Sun Tong immediately rushed into the formation with his sword and began to fight with the four guardians.

Chapter 1735

Sun Tong’s knife was so fast that he could hardly see it.

Moreover, the sword technique is extremely fierce and domineering, a typical military style, without any fancy or unnecessary movements.

Every move and style is designed to kill people. It is simple, effective and very violent.

Although the formations of the four guardians were mysterious, they had no effect in front of Sun Tong’s sharp sword.

Every time they wanted to change formations, Sun Tong could spot the flaw immediately and attack it with a sharp knife.

After a fight, the four of them were completely suppressed and beaten, leaving no room for them to fight back.

“I didn’t expect that General Sun was actually a powerful martial arts master?” Lorenzo was a little surprised.

“It’s not easy to be Rufus Rhys’s personal guard and to lead a team of secret agents.” Dustin’s expression was indifferent.

From the first time he met Sun Tong, he saw the clues.

Can be defeated by Rufus Rhys. Committee. With a heavy responsibility, he came all the way to Stonia. It is obviously impossible to say that he has no real ability.

“Looking at General Sun’s age, he is only in his thirties. It is really extraordinary to be able to achieve such an achievement. There are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers around the prince!” Lorenzo squinted.

“The battle is about to end.” Dustin said suddenly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Tong’s offensive suddenly became fierce.

One knife after another, like a turbulent wave, continuous and unstoppable.

The pressure on the four guardians, who had been retreating steadily, increased instantly. Before they could survive ten moves, they were blown away by Sun Tong’s sharp knife. They all staggered to the ground with blood spurting from their mouths and noses.

“Hmph! Want to hurt my Highness? Ask me about the knife in my hand first!” Sun Tong was majestic and full of murderous intent.

He was completely different from how humble he was when he faced Dustin before.

“I didn’t expect him to be a master.”

The killer in red raised his hand and stopped the four guardians who were about to continue attacking.

“Now, it’s your turn!”

Sun Tong slowly lifted it up and pointed the tip of the knife directly at the red-clothed killer’s face.

“Hmph! Do you think you can challenge me after defeating the four of them? You are really overestimating your abilities!”

The red-clothed killer snorted coldly: “Today, I will let you see the powerful strength of being a worshiper of the Dragon Protection Pavilion!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the red-clothed killer suddenly drew his sword, turned into an afterimage, and rushed towards Sun Tong.

Not to be outdone, Sun Tong stepped forward and bumped into him head-on.

The two martial arts masters soon started a fierce collision.

Half of the second floor of the Imperial Building was destroyed in an instant.

The two of them fought and fought until they reached the yard outside. The place they passed was almost a ruin.

The sky was full of sword light, accompanied by the sound of gold and iron clashing, making people dazzled.

“Logan, who do you think will win between the two of them?” Lorenzo asked suddenly.

“In terms of strength, the enshrinement of the Dragon Protection Pavilion is slightly better, but General Sun is more bloody, dares to fight, and is completely ready to perish together. As the saying goes, the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road. General Sun’s bravery makes up for the differences between the two sides. Due to the difference in strength, who will win depends on their own performance.”

Dustin squinted his eyes slightly and quietly observed the situation.

He was not in a hurry to take action because he was not sure whether Dragon Protection Pavilion had any backup plans.

If there are still experts lying in ambush around, if you attack rashly, you will easily fall into a trap.

In the courtyard, after the two men fought for a while, the killer in red gradually lost his patience.

Now that the situation in Dragon Protection Pavilion is over, those hostile forces in the past have begun to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of it.

Especially the royal family has begun to send people to secretly encircle and suppress.

This time he led a team to ambush Dustin, originally with the idea of ​​​​quickly defeating him and avenging the old pavilion master.

If it continues like this, once the royal master gets wind of it and comes, he won’t be able to leave even if he wants to.

In order to avoid long nights and long dreams, he must deal with this difficult guy as soon as possible, and then kill Dustin.

Chapter 1736

“I don’t have time to hang out with you, get out of here!”

The killer in red roared angrily and became violent.

He was no longer timid for fear of injury, but launched a fierce attack.

Sun Tong, who was originally on par with his brothers, soon fell behind.

After all, there is still some gap between the strength of the two.

In the past, Sun Tong was able to fight back and forth with the killer in red, all because of his bloody spirit.

Now that the killer in red has gone all out, his advantage is gone, and the next thing to compete is hard power.

“Die, die! Die!”

The killer in red yelled while fighting, his attack became stronger and stronger, and his fighting style became more and more fierce.

Sun Tong was forced to retreat continuously. He could only parry and had no room to fight back.

If this continues, he will be completely defeated in less than three minutes.

“Can’t wait any longer!”

Seeing this scene, Dustin’s eyes turned cold. Just when he was about to step forward to help, he suddenly became wary.

Before he could react, he heard a “bang” and a black mist suddenly exploded under his feet.

Dustin subconsciously activated the body-protecting internal energy and formed a protective shield on the body surface.

However, a strange scene happened. This black mist seemed to have spirituality. It penetrated Dustin’s protective energy and kept drilling into his body.

The most frightening thing is that this black mist penetrates every hole. The eyes, ears, mouth, nose, including the pores on the skin, all become channels for the black mist to invade.

“How could this happen?” Dustin looked shocked.

Even though he was well-informed, he had never encountered such a situation.

Even the body-protecting internal energy can’t be blocked, what the hell is this?

Without enough time to think, Dustin immediately got lucky.

Although this black mist is very strange, with his strength, it is not impossible to force it out.

“Logan! How are you? Are you okay?”

Outside the black mist, Lorenzo’s worried voice came.

“Uncle Lorenzo! Don’t come here! This black mist is poisonous!”

Dustin immediately reminded him, but it was too late.

Perhaps he was too anxious, so Lorenzo rushed into the black mist without even thinking.

In less than three seconds, Lorenzo’s face turned black and he fell to the ground.

He had just recovered from a serious illness, and his body was already weak. Now that he was eroded by the poison, it was even worse.

“Thank you, uncle!”

Dustin’s expression changed drastically, and without caring about himself, he immediately ran out of the poisonous fog with Lorenzo in his arms, and then used his energy to heal his injuries.

Under Dustin’s treatment, the poisonous mist poured into Lorenzo’s body began to leak out little by little.

On the other hand, Dustin’s situation was not optimistic. The poisonous mist that had penetrated his body had already invaded his internal organs.

If you continue to delay like this, you will be seriously injured even if you don’t die.

Unfortunately, he was now in a state of incompetence. While forcing poison on Lorenzo, he was unable to take care of himself and could only allow the poisonous mist to invade.

At this tense moment, the killer in red in the yard had already decided the winner with Sun Tong.

After a fierce battle, the killer in red finally severely wounded Sun Tong at the cost of losing his arm.

“Dustin! Die!”

Seeing Dustin healing people’s wounds, the red-clothed killer became energetic. He immediately seized the opportunity, stepped forward, and slashed at Dustin’s head with a sharp knife.

Chapter 1737

The red-clothed killer’s sword was fast and accurate, and the gang energy in his body was activated to the extreme. He also attacked from behind, making it impossible to prevent him.

The most important thing is that Dustin is still healing Lorenzo and has no time to care about this.

Seeing the long knife slashing at him, he could only activate his body-protecting internal energy to form a protective shield on his body.

“energyang!”

The red-robed killer’s long knife struck Dustin’s body-protecting internal energy hard, causing a faint ripple.

Under the huge repulsive force, the red-dressed killer’s knife was directly bounced away, and his whole body was shaken and staggered back.

“How can it be?!”

The red-clothed killer’s pupils shrank, his face showing horror.

The sword he just struck was with all his strength, without any reservation, and it was also a sneak attack.

Normally, even if Dustin didn’t die, he would be seriously injured.

As a result, the other party sat motionless, and he was shocked back again and again.

Could it be said that the boy in front of him is more powerful than him?

“puff!”

At this time, Dustin, who was recovering from his injuries, suddenly spurted out a mouthful of black blood.

His entire face had turned completely black.

The poisonous mist just now was so powerful that even his strong body couldn’t resist it.

Of course, the main reason was that treating Lorenzo consumed a lot of his energy, making it impossible to suppress the toxins and allowing them to invade his internal organs.

Coupled with the sneak attack by the killer in red, he forced him to use his martial arts to defend himself. After multiple blows, he vomited blood.

“Hahaha…it turns out you are at the end of your tether!”

Seeing Dustin vomiting blood, the red-robed killer instantly became energetic.

I thought it was so powerful, but it turned out that I had already been injured by my own knife.

“I will kill you with this knife!”

The killer in red grabbed it from the air, held the long sword that had bounced off in his hand, then stepped forward again and slashed towards Dustin with one strike.

“Your Highness!”

The seriously injured Sun Tong roared angrily, kicked his feet violently, and directly used his body as a weapon to crash into the back of the red-robed killer.

The red-clothed killer grunted and flew several meters away on the spot, falling to the ground in disgrace. The long knife in his hand also fell to the ground.

As for Sun Tong, who was hit with all his strength, he vomited blood and flew backwards on the spot. He was seriously injured and lay on the ground unable to move for a while.

He had been seriously injured before, and after such a collision, his body was even more overwhelmed and he was no longer able to fight anymore.

“Fuck! You are really looking for death!”

The killer in red stood up with a curse, and looked fiercely at Sun Tong, who had ruined his good deeds: “Since you like saving so much, I will kill you first!”

The red-clothed killer suddenly jumped up and slapped Sun Tong on the head.

Sun Tong couldn’t move and could only raise his arms to block.

“boom!”

There was a loud bang.

Sun Tong’s arms were fractured on the spot. His whole body was like a sandbag and flew more than ten meters away. He hit the wall hard and vomited blood.

“Your Highness! Run…run!”

Sun Tong completely ignored himself, vomiting blood and shouting at the top of his lungs.

“Run? Where to run?”

The red-robed killer turned around and glanced at Dustin, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

I almost forgot that Sun Tong was just a small character and killing him would have no effect. Dustin was the most critical figure.

In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, we must eradicate it as soon as possible!

“Dustin! Die!”

The red-robed killer rose into the air again and struck the back of Dustin’s head with all his strength.

This is a critical attack. If it hits, even if the opponent has body-protecting internal energy, he still cannot resist it.

“call!”

The wind from the palm howled fiercely, and the air was distorted.

Seeing that the killer in red was about to succeed, Dustin, who had been treating Lorenzo’s injuries, seemed to notice something, suddenly turned around, and struck out with a palm.

“boom!”

Chapter 1738

The two palms collided, making a loud bang.

Dustin dissolved all the power with just a tremor of his body.

On the other hand, the killer in red was directly blasted more than ten meters away by Dustin’s palm, and finally fell heavily to the ground, with blood spurting from his mouth and nose, and most of the meridians in his body were broken.

“You…how can you be so powerful?!”

The killer in red clutched his chest with fear on his face.

Dustin was obviously poisoned and seriously injured, so why did he easily defeat him with just a single palm strike?

Is the gap between the two sides so big?

“Before ambushing me, didn’t you investigate my strength?”

Dustin spoke coldly, with a trace of black blood staining the corner of his mouth.

All the poison in Lorenzo’s body has been forced out, and his life is no longer in danger for the time being. As for him, although he was injured and poisoned, he could withstand it in a short period of time due to his profound cultivation.

“No matter how strong you are, you are only a martial arts master. People like us are enough to kill you!” the red-clothed killer shouted.

On the day the Dragon Protection Pavilion was destroyed, most of the senior officials inside had been bombarded.

The remaining people were fighting on their own, scattered and unable to organize themselves at all.

As for what happened that day, he didn’t know. He only knew that it was the conspiracy of the Prince of West Lucozia, and Dustin was the culprit.

Today he received a secret message that Dustin was going to meet spies from the Prince of West Lucozia here, so he immediately led a team there.

I thought I could get revenge, but I didn’t expect the other party to be so powerful.

“Hmph! If I were just an ordinary martial arts master, I would have died long ago. How could I still survive until now?” Dustin said coldly.

“Are you already at the level of a Grand Master?!” The red-clothed killer’s eyes widened and he couldn’t believe it.

As far as he knew, Dustin was only in his twenties. It was too scary to reach the realm of Grand Master at such a young age, right?

What kind of monster is this? !

“I’m only asking once, how do you know our whereabouts?” Dustin said with a cold face.

Before he came, he was very cautious and vigilant. He even walked around several times just to prevent being followed.

As a result, they were ambushed not long after arriving at the Imperial Tower.

All I can say is that there is something fishy about this matter.

“I’ll fight you!”

The red-clothed killer gritted his teeth, held on to his seriously injured body, and pounced on Dustin again.

As a result, as soon as he got close, Dustin grabbed his neck and lifted him up.

The Gangenergy in his whole body was locked, and he was completely powerless, unable to do anything even if he struggled.

“If you don’t want to die, just answer my questions honestly.”

Dustin slowly exerted force with his fingers, pinching the killer in red until his face turned red, his breathing became difficult, and his veins popped out.

A fear of death suddenly filled my heart.

“I…I said…a mysterious person sent us a secret message, so we knew where you were hiding.” The red-clothed killer said in a hoarse voice.

“Mysterious man? Who is it?” Dustin asked again.

“No… I don’t know. He didn’t reveal any information, but he knew our password very well. He should be a secret agent of our Dragon Guard Pavilion.” The red-clothed killer replied.

“spy?”

Dustin frowned slightly, a little suspicious.

Being able to send out the news in such a timely manner obviously meant that he knew the location of the meeting in advance.

In other words, there is probably a mole around him!

Sun Tong is a personal guard of the palace, and he is brave enough to protect him, so there must be no problem.

So who is the mole?

“Pfft!”

Dustin was thinking about it when he suddenly felt a pain in his back.

A knife penetrated his back and came out of his chest. The blood on the tip of the knife still had traces of black traces.

“Um?”

Seeing the knife passing through his chest, Dustin couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.

Looking back subconsciously, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning and stood frozen on the spot.

Because he discovered that the person who used the sword was actually Lorenzo!

Chapter 1739

Dustin was stunned. Looking at Lorenzo’s sneak attack, he didn’t react for a moment.

He knew there was a mole and suspected many people.

Including Maximus Kane, Dr. Elijah, etc., but Lorenzo was not suspected.

Because the other party had fought for him and sacrificed too much for the palace, he had always felt that he was indebted, so he had spared no effort to treat him.

Even if he was poisoned or injured, he would still save Lorenzo.

However, he never expected that Uncle Lorenzo, who was a dead soldier of Zeng Jin Palace and loved his relatives, would stab him in the back.

Why?

Why is this happening? ?

“Uncle Lorenzo? What…are you doing?” Dustin asked tremblingly.

Until now, he still couldn’t believe the scene before him.

“Logan, I’m sorry, I have to do this.”

Lorenzo had a complicated look on his face, with a hint of guilt in his eyes: “I have told you a long time ago not to investigate the truth of that year. Doing so could easily lead to death. Why? Why didn’t you listen? You clearly You can live a good life, why can’t you think about it so hard?”

“Who…are you?” Dustin frowned deeply.

“I am Lorenzo, the deputy general of the West Lucozia Central Army, but before that, I had another identity, and that was the secret agent of the Dragon Protection Pavilion.” Lorenzo sighed.

“A secret agent from the Dragon Protection Pavilion?” Dustin couldn’t believe it.

He never thought that Lorenzo was actually an undercover agent sent by Dragon Protection Pavilion.

So the red-robed killer and his group came to ambush, was it Lorenzo who secretly informed them?

So the black poisonous mist that just exploded was also caused by Lorenzo?

The opponent deliberately poisoned him, staged a painful trick, and then used his hands to detoxify the poison, while giving the red-dressed killer a chance to sneak attack.

This interlocking calculation completely had him under control.

So much so that now after being stabbed, he was a little doubtful, had he done something wrong?

“To be honest, when your father became the Prince of West Lucozia, Hulong Pavilion had already laid out many chess pieces. Not only me, but also Song Zun, the general of West Lucozia Zengjin’s army, we were all working for Hulong Pavilion. .” Lorenzo looked helpless.

“It turns out… you and Song Zun are in the same group. I trust you so much. I didn’t expect that the ambush back then was actually planned by you!”

Dustin’s eyes gradually turned red: “Why? My mother treats you well, and my father and you are life-and-death friends. Why did you betray them?!”

“I’m sorry, it’s my duty too.”

Lorenzo said with a guilty look on his face: “I am a secret agent of Hulong Pavilion. This identity cannot be erased no matter what. I am ashamed of you and the Prince of West Lucozia, but I have to do this. I owe you, if there is a next life, I am willing to work as a cow or a horse for you.”

“I don’t understand. The Dragon Protection Pavilion has been destroyed, why do you still do things for them?” Dustin couldn’t understand.

The situation in Hulong Pavilion is over. According to normal logic, even if Lorenzo is a secret agent, as long as he is not exposed, there will be no danger.

You can even take this opportunity to cleanse yourself and live the rest of your life in peace.

He believed that Lorenzo had the ability to lie dormant in West Lucozia Prince’s Mansion for more than ten years without being exposed.

So he doesn’t understand why the other party wants to go all the way to the dark side?

“Logan, one wrong step, one wrong step after another, from the moment I became a secret agent, I was destined to never look back.”

Lorenzo sighed: “Song Zun is my boss. He is still alive and has become the deputy master of the Dragon Protection Pavilion. He will make a comeback soon. I can’t escape, and you can’t escape either. This It’s all destiny.”

“Shit it’s meant to be!”

Dustin suddenly shouted: “Everyone can choose the path they want to take, whether it is black or white, right or wrong, it is all in one thought. If you choose to make a mistake to the end, don’t act like a victim. I will not forgive you, and all the West Lucozia soldiers who sacrificed their lives back then will also not forgive you, and we will wait for you in hell!”

While speaking, Dustin suddenly pinched the red killer’s neck and then punched Lorenzo.

He was on the verge of death from the moment his chest was penetrated.

This punch was the last one he struck, and it contained anger and unwillingness.

He never thought that he would die in the hands of his own people, and he never thought that Lorenzo was actually a traitor.

Chapter 1740

All he can do now is die together!

“Um?”

Facing Dustin’s swift iron fist, Lorenzo couldn’t help but shrink his pupils and subconsciously raised his arms to block.

“boom!”

There was a muffled sound.

Lorenzo’s arms were directly broken, and his whole body flew ten meters away like a sandbag. He fell heavily to the ground and vomited blood.

“traitor!”

Dustin’s eyes were wide open and he was ready to continue the pursuit.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lorenzo formed seals with his hands and stamped his feet on the ground. His whole person disappeared in an instant, leaving only a pile of clothes.

This is a strange escape technique!

“Wow!”

As soon as Lorenzo escaped, Dustin started vomiting blood and his whole body was shaking.

The old injury has not healed, and the body is poisoned, plus the knife that penetrated the chest.

Today Dustin is on the verge of death and is about to run out of fuel.

“Your Highness!”

Sun Tong roared unwillingly, but he was seriously injured and couldn’t move at all.

“Mr. Rhys!”

Maximus Kane was also staggering, unable to stand firmly.

The conditions of the three of them were becoming more serious than the last, but there were still many killers in the Dragon Protection Pavilion.

“Maximus Kane! Take Sun Tong and leave first!”

Dustin barely supported his broken body, trying not to fall down.

As long as he doesn’t draw the knife, he can probably hold on for as long as a cup of tea.

“Mr. Rhys! What should you do?” Maximus Kane was a little panicked.

Among the three people present, Dustin was obviously the most seriously injured.

“Don’t worry, my cultivation is profound and I won’t die.” Dustin forced a smile.

“But……”

“Stop talking nonsense! Take Sun Tong away!”

Maximus Kane was about to say something, but was interrupted by Dustin’s roar.

In desperation, he could only support Sun Tong and stagger away step by step.

The killers from Hulong Pavilion did not chase the two of them, but instead surrounded Dustin.

Their goal is very clear. The other two little people are not within their hunting range, so there is no need to waste their energy.

“Dustin, you are at the end of your strength, so be captured immediately!”

The four white-clothed killers each raised their knives and stared at him eagerly.

Behind him, stood a group of black-clad killers. These were the elites of the Dragon Guard Pavilion, and they also had good combat prowess.

“You guys in Dragon Protection Pavilion, if you’re not afraid of death, come up here and try as soon as possible!”

Dustin smiled ferociously, with a look of determination in his eyes.

“Come together! Kill him!”

With just one order, all the Dragon Guard Pavilion killers swarmed up and attacked Dustin.

The battle of life and death begins again.

 

Chapter 1741​

Three minutes later.

All the Dragon Guard Pavilion killers had fallen into a pool of blood.

Dustin, who was covered in blood, was even more shaky and could not hold up.

His vital signs were getting weaker and weaker, all the powerful energy in his body had dissipated, and he was on the verge of death.

The scenery in front of me became increasingly blurry, and my heartbeat almost stopped.

“I didn’t expect that after going through so many storms, I would die in the hands of my own people in the end. It’s really ridiculous!”

Dustin laughed to himself, looked down at the knife on his chest, then held it with both hands and pulled it out suddenly.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere.

If you are about to die, having a knife stuck in your body will always look bad.

After pulling out the knife, Dustin felt that the world was spinning in front of his eyes, and finally he fell heavily to the ground with a “thud”.

Consciousness is completely black.

When Dustin fell, a spiritual talisman he was wearing suddenly began to shine, and finally turned into a golden light, poured into Dustin’s eyebrows, and disappeared.

After the spiritual talisman entered the body, it instantly turned into a powerful energy that penetrated Dustin’s limbs and bones.

The strange poison that Lorenzo released before began to disintegrate quickly after coming into contact with this energy, without any ability to resist.

Dustin’s previous internal injuries, including the fatal knife wound that had just penetrated his chest, were being repaired bit by bit after being baptized by energy.

This energy contained vigorous vitality, which slowly pulled Dustin, who had lost his vital signs, back from the edge of the ghost gate.

At this moment, he was in a private house dozens of miles away.

Margaret, who was closing his eyes to rest, suddenly trembled, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his whole body.

His flawless and pretty face instantly turned pale.

“How could this happen? Has the amulet been damaged?”

Margaret frowned, counted with his fingers, and his expression changed drastically.

“broken!”

Without any time to think, Margaret immediately cast his spell, turning the whole thing into a stream of light and heading straight to a certain place.

…

At this moment, in a secret base in Hulong Pavilion.

A man wearing a grimace mask was leaning on a luxurious golden dragon chair, closing his eyes to meditate.

Like the supreme being in the world.

On its left and right sides stood a group of dead soldiers with ashen faces.

These dead warriors are all masters carefully cultivated by the Dragon Guard Pavilion.

Not only do they practice evil methods, but they also temper their bodies with poison all year round. They are tireless, feel no pain, and are not afraid of death.

Their emotions have been blocked since they were trained.

In their eyes, there is no distinction between men and women, no distinction between old and young, let alone good and evil, right and wrong.

They will only follow orders and will sacrifice their lives without hesitation in order to complete the task.

These dead soldiers can no longer be called human beings, but are killing machines!

It is also the most powerful force in the Dragon Protection Pavilion today.

“Tap, step, step…”

At this time, a rush of footsteps sounded outside the courtyard gate.

Immediately afterwards, a figure turned over and entered the hospital.

The figure was obviously seriously injured, and every two steps it took, there would be a few drops of blood left on the ground.

“Ahem…”

A figure emerged from the darkness and appeared in the hall.

Chapter 1742​

It was Lorenzo who was severely injured by Dustin.

“Elder Lorenzo, are you injured?”

The masked man on the dragon chair suddenly spoke, his voice low and hoarse.

“A little injury won’t kill you.”

Lorenzo was panting and coughed up two more mouthfuls of blood as he spoke.

“It looks like the injury is serious. Take this medicine.”

The masked man suddenly waved his hand, and a black elixir shot out.

“Thank you.”

Lorenzo grabbed it and swallowed it without hesitation.

The elixirs in the Dragon Protection Pavilion are all extremely rare treasures, and they can recover quickly even if they are seriously injured.

Of course, this elixir can only be enjoyed by high-ranking officials.

“Master Stratford…”

When Lorenzo was about to say something, he was interrupted by the masked man raising his hand: “My Ji now. You can call me Mr. Whitaker, or you can call me Pavilion Master Ji. My previous identity is not allowed to be mentioned again.”

“Yes, Pavilion Master Ji.” Lorenzo leaned over and nodded.

“Elder Lorenzo, how did you complete the task I gave you?” the masked man Ji Yuanzun asked.

“I stabbed Logan Rhys in the heart. As expected, he is dead now.” Lorenzo reported.

“Very good!” Ji Yuanzun nodded with satisfaction: “Elder Lorenzo, you have made another great contribution!”

“Pavilion Master Ji, I have followed your instructions, can you let my daughter go?” Lorenzo pleaded.

The reason why he is still working for Hulong Pavilion is because he is controlled by others.

His daughter, his true love, has long been under house arrest in the Dragon Protection Pavilion and can only see her once a year.

Once he dares to disobey orders or has a disobedient heart.

Then not only would he die, but his daughter would also suffer torture and humiliation.

This is the method used by Dragon Guard Pavilion to control secret agents. It is simple, violent, and very effective.

For the safety of his daughter, he had to kill Logan Rhys.

“Elder Lorenzo, your daughter is safe now. She enjoys good food and drinks every day without any worries. You don’t have to worry.” Ji Yuanzun said calmly.

“Pavilion Master Ji, you clearly promised me that as long as this matter is settled, you will let us leave.” Lorenzo frowned.

“I promised you and I will keep my promise, but not now.”

Ji Yuanzun said in a hoarse voice: “Although you killed Logan Rhys, you have not completely completed the task. If the West Lucozia Palace does not fall, we will not have peace for a day.”

“West Lucozia Prince’s Palace is hugely powerful, how easy is it to destroy them?” Lorenzo frowned.

“I have been planning for ten years and have made complete preparations.”

Ji Yuanzun said in a calm tone: “Rufus Rhys is about to die and cannot survive for a few days. Now that Logan Rhys dies, the West Lucozia Prince’s Palace will have no successor, and there will be chaos. At that time, I will support a puppet to take over the West Lucozia Palace. The power is completely in your hands!”

As he spoke, Ji Yuanzun slowly clenched his fists with great ambition.

The imperial family of Stonia are nothing but nothing to worry about. Only the West Lucozia Palace is the real threat.

As long as he controls the West Lucozia Palace and the invincible Black Dragon Army of 500,000 people, he will be the master of the world!

“Pavilion Master Ji, do you have to kill them all?”

Lorenzo looked complicated: “You know, back then we…”

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ji Yuanzun: “What? Are you soft-hearted? Elder Lorenzo, those who achieve great things must be ruthless. A woman’s kindness will not accomplish anything. Think about your own future and your daughter’s future.” , some things, once done, there is no turning back.”

“I see.”

After hearing the word daughter, Lorenzo finally compromised: “Master Ji, do you have any other orders?”

Ji Yuanzun picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and said: “Now everything is ready and all we need is Dongfeng. Tomorrow you will come with me to West Lucozia. After planning for so long, it’s time to close the net.”

Chapter 1743​

I don’t know how long it took, Dustin gradually woke up from the coma.

His upper body was wrapped in thick bandages, his limbs were sore and weak, and his breath seemed very weak.

“I…am not dead?”

Dustin looked at his palms and then at the environment in the room.

There is something familiar about this place, as if I have been here before.

“you’re awake?”

At this time, Margaret slowly walked into the room with a bowl of porridge: “You are seriously injured. Fortunately, you have good foundation. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to save you.”

“Did you save me?” Dustin was a little surprised.

“if not?”

Margaret said calmly: “The amulet I gave you before protected your heart at the critical moment, injected powerful vitality into your body, and finally brought you back from the gate of hell.”

“I didn’t expect that amulet to be able to bring the dead back to life. Do you still have such a treasure? Why don’t you give me two more?” Dustin said shamelessly.

There’s no way around it, it’s been too dangerous lately. Either I’m encountering a strong enemy, or there’s a traitor lurking around me.

In just a few days, he experienced life and death several times, and he was in great need of saving his life.

“Hmph! Are you a cabbage on the street, and you can get whatever you want?”

Margaret said angrily: “Refining an amulet will cost me ten years of life. If the amulet is destroyed, I will also be injured. I have only given amulets to two people in my life, one is my father and the other is you.”

“Ten years of life lost? So expensive?” Dustin was shocked.

Although the treasure refined with life span is extraordinary, it is also extremely harmful.

Especially this kind of consumable product is gone after one use, making it even more precious.

“You think I’m kidding you?”

Margaret said calmly: “If your life was not so important, I would not be willing to give you an amulet at all.”

“Your Highness the Princess is so benevolent and righteous, and I would like to thank you here.” Dustin said gratefully.

“What, I saved your life, all you have to say is thank you?” Margaret teased.

“If there is any trouble for Her Royal Highness in the future, the common people will do their best and die.” Dustin vowed.

“That’s pretty much it.” Margaret smiled.

“By the way, how long have I been unconscious?” Dustin suddenly asked.

“Three days and three nights.” Margaret replied.

“What? So long?” Dustin frowned.

“Don’t worry, several of your friends are still alive and well. I have contacted them and arranged safe houses for them. There will be no problems for the time being.” Margaret was considerate.

“That’s good.” Dustin breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that during the few days he was in coma, Lorenzo would lead the people in the Dragon Protection Pavilion to kill them all.

“Logan Rhys, with your strength, very few people in Stonia can beat you now. I checked your body before and found that you were poisoned and had a knife pierced your chest. How could you be in such a state?” Margaret asked tentatively.

Logan Rhys was already a ultimate Grandmaster. After Li Yuanwu was killed and most of the key masters of Hulong Pavilion were wiped out, it seemed that few people in Stonia could cause fatal injuries to Logan Rhys.

“Forget it, a traitor appeared next to me. He took advantage of me and stabbed me.” Dustin’s face became colder.

If you encounter a strong enemy, don’t have enough strength, and get seriously injured, forget it, it’s just your own fault.

But unfortunately, he was harmed by someone he trusted. This was no longer as simple as being injured.

Chapter 1744​

More importantly, it comes from a psychological blow.

“Logan Rhys, I have to remind you that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Dragon Guard Pavilion has been destroyed, the remaining remnants are still a powerful force. You must be careful.” Margaret said in a serious tone.

“I understand.” Dustin nodded: “After learning this lesson, I will not tolerate similar things happening again.”

“This is best.” Margaret said.

“Did anything special happen during the three days I was in coma?” Dustin asked again.

“Your words reminded me.”

As if thinking of something, Margaret suddenly said: “According to the royal family’s information, the remnants of the Dragon Protection Pavilion seem to have left Stonia recently, and some of the previously hidden industries have all closed their doors.”

“Leaved Stonia? Where did you go?” Dustin asked.

“Although there is no definite information, judging from various clues, the remnants of the Dragon Protection Pavilion should have gone to West Lucozia.” Margaret said.

“West Lucozia?” Dustin raised his eyebrows: “Are they going to take action against the West Lucozia Palace?”

“It’s very possible.” Margaret nodded.

“No! I have to go back right away!”

Dustin said that he was about to get up, but he pulled the wound and gasped in pain.

“Don’t move!”

Margaret stretched out his hand to hold it down: “Your vitality is greatly damaged, and you still suffered a penetrating injury. Although I applied jade dew ointment to you, you still need to rest for a few more days to fully recover.”

“There’s no time! Dragon Protection Pavilion has already prepared. There must be a big conspiracy going to West Lucozia this time. I must stop them!” Dustin said solemnly.

“How can you stop it in your current state?”

Margaret frowned and said: “Ji Yuanzun’s strength is unfathomable, and there are a group of experts assisting you. You couldn’t stop them even in your heyday, let alone you are seriously injured now?”

“Even if I can’t stop it, I at least have to give the West Lucozia Palace a warning so that they can be fully prepared.” Dustin said.

“You don’t need to tell me this. I already sent a secret message to your father while you were in coma. I believe he will be on guard.” Margaret had expected this.

Hearing this, Dustin couldn’t help but was slightly startled and seemed a little surprised.

He didn’t expect that Margaret was so thoughtful and had made preparations in advance.

No wonder Li Weimin thinks so highly of his daughter.

“Your Highness, thank you for what you have done, but I still have to go back to West Lucozia.”

Dustin slowly sat up straight and his mood gradually returned to calm: “No matter what, West Lucozia Prince’s Mansion is my home. Now that it is going to suffer a catastrophe, I can’t stand idly by.”

“You can go back, but you have to make a plan first, otherwise your existence will be the weakness of the West Lucozia Palace.” Margaret warned.

From her understanding, Rufus Rhys was a man who cherished his children as much as his life.

Once Logan Rhys is in any danger, he will definitely lose his mind. At that time, it will give the remnants of Hulong Pavilion an opportunity to take advantage of.

“I see.”

Dustin nodded: “When I go back this time, I won’t do anything blatantly, nor will I have contact with people from the West Lucozia Palace. I will investigate secretly, and wait for the critical moment to thwart the Dragon Protection Pavilion’s conspiracy.”

“So much the better.”

Margaret responded, then added: “However, you may not be able to do anything on your own, so you still need some helpers.”

“Rufus Rhys sent a team of secret agents to Stonia, and now they are at my disposal.” Dustin said.

“A team of secret agents is not enough.”

Margaret shook his head: “Otherwise, I will accompany you personally. There are many strange people in our energyntian Prison, and they all follow my orders now, so they should be able to help you.”

Chapter 1745​

“you?”

Hearing this, Dustin couldn’t help being slightly startled. He glanced at Margaret up and down and said, “Your Highness, you are a wealthy and noble person. You are really not suitable for such risky things. I can’t hurt you.”

“What? Look down on me?”

Margaret smiled slightly and waved with one hand.

A sharp white energy suddenly burst out, quickly passed through the window, and directly hit the rockery in the yard.

“boom!”

There was a loud bang.

The entire rockery fell apart and turned into powder.

“Grandmaster’s internal energy?”

Dustin’s pupils shrank: “Are you actually a martial arts master?”

Due to physical reasons, it is more difficult for women to practice than men, and female masters are extremely rare.

He really didn’t expect that Margaret, who seemed weak and weak, had actually reached the level of a master.

The most important thing is that with his eyesight, after being exposed to it for so long, he still hasn’t seen it.

This woman hides her secrets really well.

“Although my strength is not as good as yours, it’s not bad either. I can help you share some of the pressure, which is fine.” Margaret smiled lightly.

“If you were a man, you would be the emperor!” Dustin praised sincerely.

You must know that the people in energyn Tianjian are not good at martial arts, and they major in divination and internal energymen Dunjia.

And Margaret’s martial arts cultivation has reached the level of a master. Aren’t the techniques he is good at even more terrifying?

You can tell something about it from the amulet that can bring the dead back to life.

“Don’t be poor. Although I promised to help you, there are conditions.” Margaret changed the subject.

“What conditions?” Dustin asked.

“It’s very simple. You have to help me find the Dragon Source internal energy.” Margaret went straight to the point: “Of course, I won’t treat you badly after I find it. We can share it equally.”

“You are not an emperor, so why are you looking for the dragon’s source of energy?” Dustin was a little curious.

“Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country.” Margaret answered simply.

“Okay, you have helped me so many times, I have to return a favor to you. As long as the West Lucozia Palace can successfully survive this disaster, I will help you find the Dragon Source internal energy.” Dustin finally agreed.

Margaret helped him a lot and even saved his life.

This kindness must be repaid.

“Okay! Then we have an agreement!” Margaret smiled.

“Your Highness, I have to return to West Lucozia as soon as possible. Please make arrangements.” Dustin said again.

“No problem, I’ll take care of it.”

Margaret responded, turned around and went out.

…

The next day, early morning.

A private plane took off from Stonia and headed straight for West Lucozia.

In the cabin, Dustin looked at the scenery above the clouds through the window.

At this moment, the sun was rising, and the fiery red sunlight reflected a large number of clouds in a bright red color, making it look beautiful.

“Logan Rhys…”

At this time, Margaret suddenly came over and sat next to him, still holding a letter in his hand, and said: “Tianji Pavilion updated three lists this morning. They are quite interesting. Do you want to take a look?”

“List? What list?” Dustin looked back.

“The lists updated this time are clearly the Divine Weapons List, the Prodigy List, and the Shocking World List.”

“In order of priority, let me start with the list of divine weapons.”

“Number One on the Divine Weapon List: Yin-Reid Evil-Slaying Sword, owned by Cornelius Xuanji.”

“Second on the list of divine weapons: Dragon Bird Sword, owned by Logan Rhys.”

“Third on the list of divine weapons: Gentian Red Flame Spear, owned by Ji Yuanzun.”

Chapter 1746​

“Fourth on the list of divine weapons: Chuixuejian, owner, Tyler Xingchao.”

“Fifth on the list of divine weapons: Overlord Sword, owned by Xiao Wuming.”

“Sixth on the list of divine weapons: Star Chasing Sword, owner, Frost.”

“Seventh on the list of divine weapons: Heavenly Ronald Sword, owned by energyn Wushuang.”

“Eighth on the list of divine weapons: Williamquan Sword, owned by Tyler Juding.”

“Nineth on the list of divine weapons: Sky Sword, owner, Logan Rhys.”

“Tenth on the Magic Weapon List: Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle, owner, Thompson Xin.”

Margaret read the relevant information while looking at the list.

The list of divine weapons not only lists the names of the divine weapons, but also lists the relevant owners, which is very detailed.

“I didn’t expect that I alone would get two weapons that are among the top ten in the magic weapon list. I don’t know whether I am happy or sad.”

After listening, Dustin couldn’t help but shook his head.

Being on the list of divine soldiers, although it seems majestic, is also accompanied by great risks.

As the saying goes, a common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade.

Just having magic weapons is not enough, you must be strong enough to hold the weapon in your hand.

Otherwise, experts from all sides will come upon the news and snatch the magic weapons.

“You can have some fun with two magic weapons.”

Margaret smiled faintly and said: “There are many martial arts masters in the world who don’t have a magic weapon at their disposal. How about you? If you have two weapons for yourself, others will probably die of envy.”

“I am a person who is afraid of trouble. Once the list of magic weapons is announced, it is estimated that there will be a steady stream of masters who want to use the weapons in my hands. It is impossible to guard against them!” Dustin sighed.

“Don’t worry, if someone wants to steal your sword, they have to consider their own abilities, otherwise they will die in vain. Not many people would be so stupid.” Margaret smiled.

“Oh? What do you say?” Dustin raised his eyebrows slightly.

“There are two more lists, you can find out by listening below.”

Margaret continued: “Next, I will announce the list of geniuses. Let me explain first. The so-called genius list refers to the talents of heaven who are no more than thirty years old. They are ranked according to their strength. Listen carefully.”

“The top one on the list of geniuses: Logan Rhys – Tyler Juding.”

“Huh?” Dustin was startled: “Two people?”

“That’s right.” Margaret nodded: “According to Tianji Pavilion’s explanation, you and Tyler Juding are both ultimate Grandmasters, and their strength is between the same. No one can judge the strength before a real decisive battle, so the two of you are tied for the third place. one.”

“It’s quite particular.” Dustin nodded.

To be honest, he really wasn’t sure he could beat Tyler Juding.

The opponent’s sword that instantly killed Nestor was enough to prove his strength.

“Next, second on the list of geniuses, Abigail.”

“Third on the list of geniuses, energyn Wushuang.”

“Fourth on the list of geniuses, Scarlet Spanner.”

“Fifth on the list of geniuses, Han Feiyang.”

“No. 6 on the list of geniuses, Adam Spanner.”

“No. 7 on the list of geniuses, Mark Montgomery.”

“Number eight on the list of geniuses, Kuang Lang.”

“Nineth on the list of geniuses, Thompson Xin.”

“Tenth on the list of geniuses, Lindollar.”

Margaret once again ranked the list of geniuses in detail.

After listening, Dustin asked curiously: “I have heard of most of the people on the Tianjiao list, but this energyn Wushuang is new to me. What is his background?”

“Speaking of energyn Wushuang, it has something to do with your mother.”

Margaret explained: “Your mother’s surname is internal energyn. This energyn Wushuang is also surnamed internal energyn. He comes from your mother’s family. However, this person is relatively mysterious and is well protected by the energyn family. He has only recently become famous. What are his specific characteristics? It’s not known yet.”

“It turns out they are the energyn family…” Dustin squinted his eyes slightly, thoughtfully.

He didn’t know much about his mother’s family, and his mother had never mentioned it before.

The only thing that is certain is that this energyn family is not simple.

Chapter 1747​

“Anyway, if energyn Wushuang is ranked third on the list of geniuses, he must be outstanding. If you have a chance, you can get to know each other. After all, we are all relatives.” Margaret said half-jokingly.

“It’s hard to say whether they are friends or enemies. I don’t have a good impression of the energyn family.” Dustin said calmly.

His mother was such a gentle and kind person, but she was forced to run away from home by the energyn family, and she never mentioned her for many years.

Just from this, it can be seen that the energyn family is not a kind person.

As for energyn Wushuang, it has nothing to do with him.

Of course, I have to admit that the energyn family is indeed unique in cultivating talents.

“Oh, by the way, Your Highness, with your strength, you should be able to be on the list of geniuses, right? Why didn’t I see your name?” Dustin suddenly asked.

“This is a around the whole country list, and members of the royal family are not included.”

Margaret smiled slightly: “In fact, although Tianji Pavilion’s intelligence agency is very powerful, it cannot guarantee perfection. All lists are for reference only and are not completely accurate. The Dragonmarsh Kingdom is vast, with hidden dragons and crouching tigers, maybe in places we don’t know. There are also some extremely powerful people hidden inside.”

“That’s true.” Dustin nodded.

As the saying goes, there is heaven outside the world, and there are people outside the world. Who can guarantee that there is no more powerful genius outside the list of geniuses?

“Now, announce the last list, the stunning list.”

Margaret spoke again: “The Amazing List contains the most powerful people in the Dragonmarsh Kingdom. Those who can be on the list are all giants.”

“First of all, the top of the world-shaking list is Cornelius Xuanji, the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain who has remained unchanged for thousands of years.”

“The second and third ones on the amazing list have changed a lot.”

“Previously it was Li Yuanwu, the master of the Dragon Protection Pavilion, and Bai Ye, the West Lucozia Sword Immortal.”

“Now, the second place is the Sword Sect’s leader, Tyler Xingchao.”

“The third place is Xiao Wuming, the leader of Balermo Martial Alliance.”

“The fourth place is the leader of the Mystical Order, Mo Hentian.”

“The fifth place is the new Pavilion Master of Dragon Protection Pavilion, Ji Yuanzun.”

“The sixth place is Cornelius Yuzhen, the heir to the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain.”

“The seventh one is the lord of Frost City, Hanshuang.”

“The eighth one is the leader of the black list, the old ghost.”

“Ninth place, the owner of internal energyngyun Mountain, energynglong.”

“Tenth place, Logan Rhys and Tyler Xingchao.”

Having said this, Margaret paused, then smiled and said: “How about it, as the tenth master in the world, do you think others will still want to use your weapons after seeing this list?”

The gold content of the Jingshishi List is much higher than that of the Tianjiao List.

Now Logan Rhys and Tyler Xingchao not only top the list of geniuses, but also make it to the list of amazing people.

This achievement can be said to be unprecedented.

“Listen to what you said, the shocking list still has a deterrent effect?” Dustin raised his eyebrows.

“Of course! You must know that those who can enter the world-shattering list start out as strong masters. Who dares to come and challenge? Isn’t this asking for death?” Margaret said.

Chapter 1748​

“It seems to make sense.” Dustin nodded.

“This time there have been great changes in the world-shattering list. Li Yuanwu and Bai Ye have fallen one after another, Sterling Reidshu’s whereabouts are unknown, and Nestor was killed with a sword. Four of last year’s top ten were lost, which can be said to be a heavy loss. Fortunately, there are There are new strong people on the list, filling this gap. It is true that there are talents from generation to generation, and a new generation replaces the old ones!” Margaret sighed.

“Do you know anything about these new people on the list?” Dustin suddenly asked.

“Fifth place is Ji Yuanzun, the new Pavilion Master of the Dragon Protection Pavilion. My father mentioned this person to you before. He is exactly the identity of Song Zun after he changed his name. After Li Yuanwu’s death, he finally made it through.” Margaret replied. .

“I know Ji Yuanzun, but I don’t understand why he was not on the shocking list before, but as soon as Li Yuanwu died, he was on the list, and he was still ranked so high?” Dustin was a little strange.

“How should I put it? Ji Yuanzun is deeply hidden. Before, because Li Yuanwu was suppressing him, no one paid attention to it. Now that Li Yuanwu is dead, Ji Yuanzun has successfully taken over and controlled all Dragon Protection Pavilions with thunderous means. “Remnants, it was only then that Tianji Pavilion discovered that Ji Yuanzun is very special. Ranking him fifth was just a conservative estimate. His true strength should not be weaker than the sect leaders of the three major sects.” Margaret said in a tone of voice. Get serious.

“So powerful?” Dustin frowned slightly.

There is a big gap between each ranking of the powerful people in the world-shattering list.

Previously, Bai Ye had single-handedly fought against three powerful men on the world-shattering list, and was still sure of victory.

From this point, we can see the clues.

Moreover, he had fought against Nestor, and the strength of the two sides was basically on par with each other. He had to use his secret skills to fight hard to get a slight advantage.

Even Nestor, who is ranked tenth, is so strong, and Ji Yuanzun, who is ranked fifth, is naturally even more terrifying.

If we really encounter one, let alone win, it will be a question of whether we can survive.

“Being able to become the deputy master of Dragon Protection Pavilion is naturally extraordinary.”

Margaret said in a serious tone: “Moreover, there are many powerful people in the Dragon Protection Pavilion with luxuriant branches. Even Bai Ye killed most of them with one sword. The remaining people still cannot be underestimated. Our trip to West Lucozia this time can be said to be It’s very dangerous.”

“What? Are you scared? If you regret it, it’s still too late to turn around.” Dustin said with a smile.

“What I promised you, I have to do it. Besides, without my help, you may not be able to fight against the remnants of the Dragon Guard Pavilion.” Margaret said.

“Your Highness the Princess is absolutely right. When we return to West Lucozia, the common people will all rely on you.” Dustin clasped his fists.

“Young poor man, you are the host and you should lead by example. I can only play a supporting role.” Margaret said angrily.

“He who can do it should work harder. I am a patient now and have to take a good rest.” Dustin looked weak.

“Haha…Looking at you now, you are so energetic that you could kill a cow. How can you look like a sick person?” Margaret rolled his eyes.

She was very surprised at Logan Rhys’s ability to recover.

After just one night, most of the wound was healed. It is estimated that in two or three days, he will be full of life again.

Such strong physical fitness is really rare.

“Your Highness, it’s still a long time. You should rest for a while. I’ll call you when we get to West Lucozia.” Dustin said.

“Okay, I’ll take a nap then.”

Margaret nodded, then sat next to him and began to close his eyes and meditate.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was already half a day.

It wasn’t until dusk that the plane slowly landed.

West Lucozia, finally arrived…

Chapter 1749​

West Lucozia, Wangcheng.

After Dustin and Margaret got off the plane, they got into a commercial car. They acted very low-key and did not attract anyone’s attention.

This time, the two of them flew out alone. The secret agents and personal guards under their command had arrived in West Lucozia in advance last night.

In this way, it is not only more hidden, but also safer.

In the car, Margaret looked at the bustling scene on the street through the window, which seemed a little strange.

Compared with the busy traffic in Stonia, West Lucozia is a different scene.

Whether it is the regional scenery or humanistic customs, they are all very different from Stonia. This gives Margaret, who rarely leaves Stonia, an alternative sense of freshness.

“I didn’t expect that West Lucozia has changed so much. I remember when I came here as a child, most of them were low-rise buildings. I didn’t expect that in just a dozen years, it would already be as prosperous as Stonia.”

Margaret looked around and marveled.

“Yes, West Lucozia has changed so much that I can’t even recognize the road anymore.” Dustin looked a little complicated.

After ten years of separation, when I return to my hometown, things have changed.

Even if he returns to the palace now, most people probably won’t recognize him.

“I have to say, your father is really great.”

Margaret said with emotion: “I heard my father say that as early as 20 years ago, West Lucozia was still a barbaric land. There were constant wars all year round, and the people were miserable. At that time, the land was thousands of miles away, and the ground was full of hungry people. .

It wasn’t until the appearance of West Lucozia King Rufus Rhys that everything changed.

Rufus Rhys, born in a wealthy family in Stonia, has shown amazing military talent since he was a child.

Since joining the army, he has repeatedly made outstanding achievements and won every battle.

At that time, Rufus Rhys was said to be unparalleled in the world. He was awarded the title of marquis and general at a young age, which can be said to be unlimited.

Everyone believed that Rufus Rhys had a bright future, and as long as he returned to Stonia to develop, he would surely become one of the best.

But no one expected that this almost god-like man would finally make a decision that was unbelievable to everyone in the court.

That is to settle in West Lucozia and guard the frontier!

You must know that West Lucozia was a barbaric land at that time. Not only was it divided by warlords and fighting internally, but it was also often invaded by barbarians from enemy countries.

It can be said that no one in the civil and military circles of the dynasty was willing to clean up this mess.

But it happened that Rufus Rhys did this.

After settling in West Lucozia, Rufus Rhys only had 300 personal guards in his hands.

And it was with these three hundred people that he conquered all the warlord forces in the eighteen cities of West Lucozia in just three years.

When the news came back to Stonia, the government and the public were shocked.

No one knows how Rufus Rhys did it. In the eyes of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, this was an incredible thing.

From then on, Rufus Rhys began to recruit troops and formed his first army, the Black Dragon Army.

At first, the Black Dragon Army’s reputation was not good, and everyone was not optimistic about it.

As a result, the first battle with the Western barbarians shocked everyone.

In that battle, Rufus Rhys only used 8,000 West Lucozia cavalry to kill the barbarian army of 200,000 and fled.

So far, a blockbuster!

In the next ten years, Western barbarians invaded many times and fought dozens of battles, large and small, but were completely defeated by the Black Dragon Army.

The most classic battle was when Rufus Rhys led 100,000 cavalry to chase down Barbarian’s 500,000-strong army. They fought from inside the country to outside the country, passed through the border and beheaded generals all the way, and captured fifteen cities in a row until they reached the gate of Barbarian’s imperial city.

The Manzi Emperor was so frightened that he peeed and ran away for his life all night long, and at the same time begged the Dragonmarsh Kingdom for peace.

If it weren’t for the Dragon Guard Pavilion getting in the way and issuing nine golden orders, Rufus Rhys would be summoned back to the capital in a hurry.

In that battle, the barbarians were expected to perish.

After this battle, the barbarians were completely defeated. For more than ten years, they did not dare to invade the country.

The people of West Lucozia were also able to recuperate and rebuild their homes.

Because of Rufus Rhys’s talents and strategies, West Lucozia, which was originally desolate, has now become a prosperous place that is not inferior to Stonia.

This is an unprecedented and unprecedented achievement.

So I say, your father Rufus Rhys is a very great person.

The title of King of West Lucozia is well deserved! “

At the end, Margaret couldn’t help but feel a little more admiration in her beautiful eyes.

An unparalleled hero like Rufus Rhys is really rare to see in a thousand years!

“I didn’t expect you to know so much.”

Dustin took a deep breath and sighed: “To be honest, I have never heard Rufus Rhys mention these things. I only know that he is powerful, but I don’t understand his life, because in front of me, he will always be His smiling appearance is very informal and has no dignity at all.”

“Rufus Rhys is not only a good prince, but also a good father. What happened in the past is in the past. I hope you can cherish the time in the future.” Margaret said seriously.

Rufus Rhys takes most of the credit for the Dragonmarsh Kingdom’s peace and prosperity.

For this legendary prince, she hoped from the bottom of her heart that he would be happy and die in peace.

“In the future? Is there a future?”

Dustin murmured to himself, feeling sad.

Rufus Rhys devoted his whole life to serving the country, the people and his family.

Now that the deadline is approaching, what can he, a son, do?

In the face of life and death, he suddenly discovered that those misunderstandings in the past were so worth mentioning.

Looking back now, what he did was indeed too willful.

“Logan Rhys, where should we go next?” Margaret suddenly asked.

“Go to the Rhys Family Cemetery.”

Dustin turned his head and looked out the window and said softly: “I haven’t been back for ten years. I have to go to worship my mother first.”

Hearing this, Margaret nodded slightly and said nothing more knowingly.

Princess internal energyn is a rare hero among women.

The acquaintance with the King of West Lucozia back then is also a well-known story.

It’s a pity that beauties have a bad life, and God is jealous of talented people.

If it weren’t for the conspiracy of the Dragon Guard Pavilion back then, Princess internal energyn would be living well now, right?

Chapter 1750​

The Rhys Family Cemetery, also known as the Wang Family Cemetery, covers an area of 800 acres.

The scenery inside is beautiful, with green trees, wide roads and complete facilities.

A large number of flowers, plants and trees are planted in the cemetery, with different scenery in each season.

In spring, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom and the sea of flowers is gorgeous; in summer, the green grass is cool and pleasant; in autumn, the maple leaves fall, which is beautiful; in winter, the snow is capped and covered with silver.

The Rhys Family cemetery is open. Not only the children of the Rhys Family are buried there, but also many soldiers who made contributions to West Lucozia.

Every year during energyngming Festival and Double Ninth Festival, the Rhys Family cemetery becomes crowded.

Some are to pay homage to deceased relatives, while others are to express gratitude to martyrs.

In this regard, West Lucozia people attach great importance to it.

Because they all know that the happy and healthy life they have now is all earned by the martyrs with their lives.

An hour later, Dustin and Margaret arrived at the main entrance of the Rhys Family cemetery by car.

In order to avoid revealing their identities, both of them made simple disguises this time.

Margaret put on a textile human skin mask and changed into a more ordinary face.

This was the preparation I made before coming. After all, when you come to West Lucozia, you can’t wear a hat and veil all day long, as this will attract more attention.

It is worth mentioning that even with Cornelius’s ordinary face, Margaret still gives people an extraordinary feeling.

Regardless of her figure or temperament, she looks very outstanding. When walking in the cemetery, she will attract the attention of many men.

This is the gold content of the top of the rouge list. Even if you don’t look at the face, it still has an inexplicable attraction.

Dustin walked step by step deeper into the cemetery according to his memory.

If I remember correctly, my mother’s tomb should be at the very end, in a relatively quiet place.

After walking for about ten minutes, Dustin finally found the tomb of Princess internal energyn.

Compared with other cemeteries, the tomb of Princess internal energyn is undoubtedly more magnificent.

There is a stone wall surrounding the cemetery, and in the center of the stone wall is another arched stone door.

Directly in front of the stone gate, there is a stone statue of Princess internal energyn.

The stone statues are vividly carved and surrounded by flowers. It is obvious that someone often worships them.

energyn Suzhen’s prestige in West Lucozia is second only to Rufus Rhys.

When Rufus Rhys was developing his military, resisting foreign enemies, and suppressing rogue bandits, it was energyn Suzhen, the princess, who managed all internal affairs in West Lucozia.

Whether it is economic development, improvement of people’s livelihood, or social security, energyn Suzhen manages everything in an orderly manner.

During difficult times, energyn Suzhen worked and ate together with the common people, without any airs of a princess.

It is precisely because of energyn Suzhen’s hard work that he laid a solid foundation for West Lucozia, which created the legendary life of West Lucozia King Rufus Rhys, created the undefeated myth of the Black Dragon Army, and created the prosperity of West Lucozia today.

It was energyn Suzhen and Rufus Rhys who jointly created this world.

So even in the past ten years, people still come to pay homage to energyn Suzhen every day and express their gratitude.

Looking at the stone statue standing in front of him, Dustin almost had tears in his eyes.

Although ten years have passed, my mother’s voice, appearance, and smile still seem to remain yesterday.

It’s okay not to think about it usually, but now when I see things and think about people, the feeling of intimacy and longing floods into my heart instantly.

“Mom, I’m sorry, my son is late.”

Dustin walked to the stone statue and knelt down with a “dong” sound. His eyes were slightly red and the corners of his mouth were trembling: “I didn’t expect that ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. My son is unfilial. Come to see you.”

“My son has sworn that he will find out the murderer and avenge you. Before that, my son really has no face to see you.”

“Ten years have passed, and now the mastermind behind the scenes has been killed. All the accomplices back then have been killed and injured. Now, only a few remnants are left.”

“Son, I promise that I will kill all those who harmed you. I will make those beasts pay the price with their blood!”
