Chapter 983 Meeting the Queen ([-])

Li Sansi had made a thousand preparations in his heart, but when he saw the Queen of the Eagle Empire sitting upright, he was still shocked. Because this old lady was too kind, she was as kind as an ordinary grandmother. Since then, it has given Li Sansi a very good impression, so from the beginning, Li Sansi tried to avoid any conflicts between her identity and her, and even tried to cover up herself, trying not to let the Eagle Queen see any clues.

The moment Li Sansi walked into the hood, it seemed that the surrounding air was quickly wrapped and solidified by cement, and it was so difficult to even move. When the empress saw Li Sansi's appearance, her eyes swept over some surprises, as if she could see Li Sansi with her own eyes. After confirming Li Sansi, people still have a feeling of disbelief.

Li Sansi's scalp was numb, as if his skin was tightening towards the center, and he was constantly squeezing closer. He was numb for a while, and he sat down on the opposite side of the carriage. The air in front of him suddenly became extremely silent and awkward. Before the personal meeting, it should have been a year ago, and now it is just a short year, but everything is ever-changing, things are changing, people are changing.

Both of them have a lot to say in their hearts, but they don't know where to start. It's like countless balls of thread twisted together, but they can't figure out the end of the thread. It's indescribable that it can't come out.

The carriage started to start slowly. Inside the car were the Queen Eagle who was the king of a country and the silent Li Sansi. The two seemed to be back in the past. When they talked for the first time in the Kremlin, for the Queen Eagle, Although it has been a year, Li Sansi's indifferent attitude towards everything at the time has never been forgotten, so that the two of them are sitting face to face, and the Eagle Queen feels as if time and space are going backwards, and history is repeating itself illusion.

"You? When did you come back again?" After waiting for a long time, the unique voice of the Eagle Queen sounded, agitating Li Sansi's eardrums. The carriage was slightly bumped on the ancient road, and there was friction on the Grigg Road outside. The sound of the ground, along with the faintly visible music in the distance and the rustling of leaves blown by the wind, entered Li Sansi's ears clearly.

"Actually, I have never left the Eagle Empire, but have always been in the manor of the Duke of Stoke. This is why I could not accept the Queen's kindness in marrying Princess Mercedes to me, because I I already have a girl I like and even love deeply.” After holding back the words for a long time, she finally told the Eagle Queen in front of her. In front of the Eagle Queen, Li Sansi didn’t want to hide it, after all, this is an unresolved matter Now that he was bumped into by the queen again, Li Sansi didn't want to drag it on any longer, so it's better to spread everything out. As for how the queen will be dealt with later, Li Sansi can't think so much anymore. The moment he recognized it, Li Sansi realized that things were completely out of his control, and even he couldn't see a hazy future.

The carriage drove into a dimly lit road, making the Queen's face hidden in the darkness. Even with Li Sansi's eyesight, he could only see the Queen's silent expression, which made Li Sansi's heart feel a little panicked.

The queen was silent for a long while, and then said in the dark, "Oh. Let me guess, that girl should be the daughter of the Duke of Stoke, the famous Su Lun, right?"

Li Sansi nodded, but found that in such a dark situation, the empress would not be able to see his nodding, so he said, "Well, Su Lun and I met in China, but we separated later. And then I came to the Eagle Empire to find her."

The Eagle Queen seemed a little surprised by this news. From the time she faced Li Sansi, this ordinary-looking man who seemed to have nothing special about him surprised him time and time again. No exception, "Then, it is rumored that you became a swordsman of the Duke of Stoke's family and defeated Duke Benjamin, is it true?"

"Yes, it's the promotion match this morning." There was a light outside the window of the carriage, and Li Sansi nodded, knowing that after he defeated Duke Benjamin, all the hidden problems had resurfaced. It is estimated that the Eagle Queen will find himself, It was also caused by his defeat of Duke Benjamin. Now of course all the problems have surfaced, and there is no need for Li Sansi to hide anything.

"Well," the Eagle Queen nodded, her eyes flashed some extremely determined expressions and said, "Li Sansi, I once wanted to marry my granddaughter to you because of your own qualities, which made me trustworthy. Until now, I have I still believe that you are still the original Li Sansi, but now, I want you to answer me one thing seriously. If you hide half of it, then I will let you go. From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other. I never I have seen you, and you have never seen me, so just pretend that I have never known you." The appearance of Li Sansi in the swordsmanship competition made the Eagle Queen have to re-examine the current situation, she has never had this moment , felt that she was shrouded in a layer of haze, if you want to use the technical terminology of the ruling, because she was blinded, blinded her ears and eyes, and what she saw was not necessarily the truth, just like A layer of fog, this is the experience she has accumulated since she was in power for many years, and the appearance of Li Sansi is like the key to breaking through that layer of fog. Perhaps through Li Sansi, she can grasp the most real truth of the Eagle Empire. The situation is also uncertain.

Li Sansi nodded solemnly, "Your Majesty, please tell me, as long as I know, I will tell you without reservation."

"Okay." The Eagle Queen paused, and then continued, "Tell me, what is your purpose for participating in this competition?"

Li Sansi pondered for a moment, then said, "The purpose is very simple, I must help the Stoke family, because there is my girl there."

"Just such a simple motive?" The Eagle Queen was slightly taken aback, and then said, "In your impression, what kind of person is the Duke of Stoke? Did he secretly manipulate the progress of the game and then instructed you, Let you defeat many masters of the Eagle Empire and restore Duke Stoke's influence in the Eagle Empire? After all, you have defeated Duke Benjamin now."

Li Sansi shook his head and said, "There is absolutely no such thing, please see, Your Majesty the Empress."

Li Sansi opened the skirt, revealing the bandaged wound inside, the queen was slightly surprised, "Are you injured!?"

"This is indeed an injury, but it is not the injury that Duke Benjamin gave me, but the injury I received before. After I am injured, my strength will be greatly reduced. Duke Benjamin is a master of swordsmanship. How can I risk it? If I lose Now, isn’t the Duke of Stoke’s plan completely in vain? Her Ladyship knows from the comparison that the Duke of Stoke faced Philippe Li, the chief disciple of the French sword god, and was almost defeated. It’s me facing Duke Benjamin, if the Queen examines Duke Benjamin’s dagger carefully, she will know that it is coated with poison that will kill me, all of this is secretly manipulated by someone, but the goal is directed at the Duke of Stoke’s family.”
