Chapter 868 Departure ([-])

In fact, from the moment Su Zixuan just came back, she felt that her father was different. If she really wanted to say, the prodigal son of the empire, Bamar, who was once so ambitious and fearless, had changed from his father The character has completely disappeared. The current Duke of Stoke puts the interests of the entire Stoke family at the forefront. His tone says that he is more worried about the strength of his opponent, rather than saying that he is more worried about the people around him. what hurt.

Su Zixuan is so smart, he also faintly felt that the Duke of Humington was pressing him again and again, that kind of vow not to bring down the Duke of Stoke's family, and he would never give up, if it was only because of the The dispute between the two when they were young made the Duke of Humington have the mentality of vengeance, and now he is not worth the loss to be an enemy of a duke. Is this situation too unreasonable?

Because no matter how bad the Duke of Stoke is, he is still a duke anyway, and it is definitely not a child's play to want to be an enemy of a duke. The Duke of Humington, who puts his interests first, is actually a little bit of friction between the two of them. , so that it is absolutely impossible to imagine the manpower and material resources spent on such a relentless attack on a duke.In this way, there is only one thing that makes sense, that is, if the Duke of Stoke is defeated, there will be benefits he insists on obtaining, but Su Zixuan can't figure out what the benefits are. What good is it to the Duke of Humington to be defeated! ?

Now the Duke of Stoke will not compete with the Duke of Humington for the right to operate the railway. No matter how smart Ren Su Zixuan was, he couldn't think of the benefits of Duke Ke's attack.

"Since the Duke of Humington was able to attack Li Sansi this time, next time he might take a risk, he will attack the Duke's father. If he doesn't take measures now, it may be too late if he comes again later. "Su Zixuan was worried that if his idea really existed, then the Duke of Humington, who could not think twice about assassinating Li San, would take the risk to assassinate the Duke of Stoke. He only needed to create an accident, and he would be killed afterwards. There is no way for anyone to track it.

"I have my own opinion, I will investigate this matter, Su Lun, Li Sansi, the Royal Swordsmanship Competition will be soon, don't worry, I will not let you do anything. During this time, you have to give me a good If there are no special circumstances, it is best not to leave the Stoke mansion." The Duke of Stoke glanced at the two of them, and then waved his hand slightly.

Su Zixuan and Li Sansi looked at each other helplessly, and they both knew that the Duke of Stoke actually didn't dare to look directly at the Duke of Humington's attack on the two of them. Li Sansi's feeling alone was not enough for him to get too much attention. Evidence, so this matter still needs further investigation.

The two knew that no matter how much they told the Duke of Stoke to pay attention to the Duke of Humington, it would be useless. He could only react after the investigation results of the private detective. The hand of the Duke of Minton.

"That. Li Sansi. Can you stay for a while?" Duke Stoke suddenly called back Li Sansi who was about to leave with Su Zixuan. Li Sansi looked at Su Zixuan in surprise, then nodded and turned around. , facing the Duke of Stoke alone.

Seeing Su Zixuan disappearing at the door, Duke Stoke stood up and walked in front of Li Sansi. Duke Stoke's body was tall, no less than Li Sansi's height, and he was a well-rounded super swordsman The boldness made Li Sansi feel heartbroken from the bottom of his heart.

The Duke of Stoke and Li Sansi faced each other, their palms stretched out, and they patted on Li Sansi's shoulder, with complicated expressions in their eyes, "Thank you for protecting my daughter about today's incident. We in Stoke The family owes you a lot."

"Wh. What.?" Li Sansi almost cleared his ears. He didn't hear it wrong. Such words came from the mouth of the Duke of Stoke. After all, in the entire Stoke family, he is not afraid of heaven and earth. The most feared thing is this Su Zixuan's father, that is equal to his immediate boss. Now that the Duke of Stoke is talking to him like this, Li Sansi was so moved for a moment. The Stoke family, then to the Goddess Heart, and now they have truly gained the trust of the Stoke family. The setbacks and grievances they have suffered along the way have been perfectly interpreted today.

It's not easy for Duke Stoke to say a nasty word, let alone such a nasty word, no wonder Duke Stoke waited until Su Zixuan left before he could say it, and now Li Sansi's astonished performance obviously made Stoke The Duke couldn't hold back his face, coughed quickly, and changed the topic to other places, "Ahem. How about it, let me tell you about my swordsmanship, how is your comprehension going?"

When the Duke of Stoke mentioned it, Li Sansi suddenly remembered what Su Zixuan said, "Then you must have been tricked. When I was five years old, my father told me that the toy given to me was in a locked box, but the key But I have to look for it according to the clue code he provided. After I finally unlocked it, I found that the box was empty. When I was seven years old, he told me that I had to unlock the hints and clues he left before I could get my New Year's money, but the next day he completely forgot about it."

Li Sansi looked carefully at the Duke of Stoke in front of him again. When the other party talked about this topic again, his expression was still very serious, and he was looking forward to his answer. Li Sansi bit his head. How can I still have the mind to delve into the realm that the Duke of Stoke said that swords can be compared to things? I don’t know whether what Stoke said is true or not. At the same time, the Duke of Stoke suddenly overturned everything for himself that day and refused to admit that he had taught this matter. Only then did he really suffer a big loss.

But now of course Li Sansi can't say "Hey, I haven't thought about it carefully at all, and I can't be fooled by you at all!" On the contrary, I have to reply very unconscionably, "That, that. I looked at it from the side. Looking at it from an angle, the entire Emerald Lake is in an arc shape, surrounded by some arranged willow trees, which flutter in the wind when the wind blows."

Nonsense, the emerald lake has an arc shape, and there are willow trees around it, as long as anyone with eyes can see it, Li Sansi said this, undoubtedly trying to delay the time as much as possible.

The Duke of Stoke seemed to be interested, with an expression of Li Sansi refusing to leave without finishing his sentence, he looked at Li Sansi seriously, nodded and said, "Well, what else.?"
