The fragrance of tea filled the air. In the study of the City Lord's Mansion, the lights illuminated Lucy's face. After the butler brewed tea for Edward and the distinguished guests, he left the study. Lucy closed her eyes and took a deep breath of the fragrance of the tea leaves. She took a sip and slowly tasted it in her mouth. After the fragrance of the tea filled her mouth, she drank it. She said, "So the situation on Planet Heaven is so bad. Invaders from the east? That's really a mistake … "
"Yes, if it weren't for His Highness' timely help, I would have already prepared to give up Bauhinia City." Edward said, "It's been more than a year since His Highness left. How is His Highness?"
"Although there are a lot of things that are not satisfactory, it's not bad. On your side, Allen has left. Is there a lot of pressure on you? "Lucy opened her eyes.
Edward nodded and said, "There's a lot of pressure, both internal and external. But this is Young Master Allen's foundation. No matter what, I will guard it for him. "
"Unfortunately, I only brought a group of guards this time, and I have another mission to complete."
Edward shook his head and said, "Your Highness has a heart. It's enough to temporarily solve the urgent situation. If everything depends on Your Highness, Young Master Allen will blame you if he finds out. "
Lucy smiled and said, "Allen won't blame you. I know that. Speaking of Allen, he should be coming to Planet Heaven soon. "
Edward's body trembled slightly. "Your Highness has news of Young Master?"
"It's a long story." Lucy put down her teacup and said, "You know why Allen left everyone. That's right, it's his identity as the Son of Dusk. After returning to Adahua Planet, I've been looking for a way to change his fate. Finally, there are some clues, and one of them points to Planet Heaven. I've already informed Allen, so it won't be long before he comes to Planet Heaven. "
"That's great." Edward asked again, "Is there anything I can do for Your Highness?"
"There's no need for that. You just need to guard Allen's territory. As for the rest, I'll figure it out myself."
"By the way, there's one more thing I need you to pay attention to."
Edward raised his head. Lucy said, "I need you to pay attention to a woman named Angeloni. This woman might be harmful to Allen. In fact, this woman is another reason why Allen and I came to Heavenly Planet this time, in addition to finding a way to change Allen's fate. "
Then, Lucy roughly described Angeloni's appearance.
After listening to her description, Edward revealed a shocked expression. Lucy raised her eyebrows. "What, you've already met her?"
"Angeloni … Annie?" Edward said in a deep voice, "If I'm not wrong, a woman named Annie might be the Angeloni Your Highness mentioned."
Lucy suddenly stood up and said, "What about this person?"
Edward immediately called over a Dark Blade and gave some instructions. A moment later, the Dark Blade returned and said to Edward, "My lord, the woman named Annie is no longer in the city. A city guard saw her leave at dusk … "
Lucy narrowed her eyes and said, "What a cunning woman. What has she done here?"
Edward frowned and said, "That's the strange part. She saved Father Miro and Orlando one after another. Just today, she accepted my invitation to fight to the death with the other party's experts. If she's not good for Young Master Allen, why would she do these things? "
"What an unpredictable woman …" Lucy was also surprised.
Also that night, on the other side of the Iron Spear Territory, the imperial army from the east had already surrounded Spear City. Outside Spear City, the farmland that originally belonged to Spear City had now become a wasteland. The army of the Coiling Dragon Empire had flattened this place, and countless tents were erected on the wasteland, establishing a heavily guarded barracks. The braziers in the barracks lit up the barracks, and the guards who had strictly delineated their routes passed through them, making the plan to sneak attack the barracks a joke.
In the middle of the camp, in a gorgeous tent, the sound of pipe music floated out from the opened tent. The tent was brightly lit, and seven dancers were waving their sleeves and dancing. Musicians from the east were playing flutes and zithers, and the tent was filled with the ability of dogs and horses. There was a gorgeous couch in the tent. On the couch, King Ji Wu was lying on his side. A peerless beauty wearing only a thin veil was sitting on the ground, leaning against the couch, sending pearl-like grapes into King Ji Wu's mouth. There were also two beautiful women, one massaging his feet and the other massaging his shoulders, obediently serving the powerful Old Prince of the Coiling Dragon Empire.
At this moment, someone opened the tent and entered. A general pushed the two women to the ground and said with a laugh, "Your Highness, do you want to taste the taste of this barbarian woman?"
King Ji Wu's eyes were half-closed, as if he was asleep. Hearing this, he said, "Forget it, they are just some vulgar people. They are tasteless, what's the use of having them."
"That's true, how can these barbarian women compare to the beauties that Your Highness has meticulously trained? I've spoiled Your Highness's mood."
"Report!"
A soldier shouted outside the tent.
King Ji Wu frowned, "Yu Miao, go and see what's going on."
At the side of the couch, the man who stood with his hands behind his back and half of his face covered in an iron mask immediately left the tent. A moment later, he came back with a serious look in his eyes, "Your Highness, something happened to Commander Hong."
King Ji Wu's eyes widened and shone brightly. "What happened to my son, Hong Lie?"
"I just received a report from Ping Xi Wang. In today's siege, Commander Hong … Commander Hong died in battle!"
"What?" King Ji Wu lost control and clenched his five fingers. He had originally placed his hand on the woman who was feeding the grapes. With this grip, the woman's hand was immediately broken. The young woman screamed in pain. King Ji Wu glared at her angrily and waved his hand to slap her face, causing her to fly into the air. When she landed on the ground, her neck had been broken and she had died!
The other two women trembled when they saw this. Fortunately, King Ji Wu did not pay attention to them. The old man stood up and said coldly, "Who killed Hong Lie?"
"It was said that it was done by an expert of the enemy. When Ping Xi Wang arrived, Commander Hong had already died in battle."
"Arrived?" King Ji Wu sneered and said, "Since we are attacking the city and the enemy has an expert guarding it, why didn't Ping Xi Wang attack together? This is clearly to let Hong Lie die for him. Good, Ping Xi Wang. You sure have guts, daring to use a borrowed knife to kill my people. Very good, Yu Miao, prepare the horse! "
