The four of them came to Lien's friend's house, and the other party entertained them warmly.
After dinner, Leng Ling felt a little tired and went to his room to rest early. Only Li En and his so-called friend were left in the living room.
Richard leaned on the sofa, looked at the man standing by the window, and said slowly, "You are really brave enough to dare to bring him to me. What if he knows about the relationship between us?"
Relationship, aren't you afraid that he will kill you?"
"So please keep it a secret for me."
His dark brown eyes flickered, "You are my brother, so I will naturally keep it a secret for you. But, why are you here suddenly?"
Li En stared at the dark night sky outside the window, his voice as indifferent as the night, "Don't you know why we came here?"
Richard was a little confused, "You know what?"
Lean turned around and looked at Richard, "We were plotted by Karl."
"What's the meaning?"
"Ruth Ferdinand suddenly came to Lanson a few days ago, pretending to seek asylum. We sent her back according to Leng Xiao's request and brought her his autographed letter. Unexpectedly, the letter disappeared. Ling was regarded as a murderer of Karl.
The mastermind was almost killed. Later I found out that this was all their trick, and even Lieutenant General White was involved."
Richard frowned, "Then how did you get out?"
"I promised to do something for Karl, and he let us go."
The gloom in Richard's eyes deepened, "My father and I don't know about this matter."
"I understand," Lean's handsome face was filled with emotion, "but this incident gave me a very bad premonition. I suspect that the power in the hands of Carl and his father will gradually be emptied out. Someone wants to
Take his place."
Richard took a puff of cigarette and said, "Then have you seen Zoro?"
"No," as if he guessed what his brother was thinking, Rean walked to sit next to Richard and asked, "Do you think the person who wants to replace Carl is Solo? Does this matter have anything to do with him?
?”
Richard shook his head, "I can't say, but I have a feeling that that man must have something to do with this matter."
A hint of doubt appeared on Li En's face, "What exactly does this man want to do?"
"I don't know, Lean, I think our family's position in Valencia is now threatened."
"What's the meaning?"
"Now, the situation in the country is very unstable. My father and I have to deal with the troubles caused by the anti-war faction, and we have to prepare for the battle in Lanson. We have no time to care about anything else. We don't know anything about those confidential plans, just like today
We were completely kept in the dark about the incident, but White was involved, what does this mean?"
"Karl is becoming more and more distrustful of you."
Richard lowered his eyebrows and nodded, "Yes."
"Why did it become like this? Who was the instigator? White? Ruth? Or Solo?" After a pause, Lien seemed to have remembered something, his voice was dark, "Also, I discovered that Carl's physical condition
Something went wrong."
Richard was startled, "My father also mentioned this matter to me, but what does that mean?"
"Once Karl suffers from physical problems and is no longer able to continue serving as prime minister, who do you think will be the biggest beneficiary?"
Richard thought for a while, crossed his hands on his chest, "Solo is closest to Carl, and White has a lot of power in the military. It's possible for both of them."
"Ruth? Where's Ferdinand?"
"This woman has been socializing more and more since her husband died, and she cannot be excluded." Richard took a deep puff of his cigarette and threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray. "I have to find someone to keep an eye on those people."
, to prevent them from doing anything detrimental to our country and family."
Li En nodded slowly and said, "You must be careful and don't alert others. Those people are too cunning."
"I understand," Richard took out his cigarettes, pulled out two and handed them to Lean, "Tell me about you."
Lien took the cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath and said, "I'm still the same. Lanson is not at peace either. Various forces want to interfere in this war. We are tired of persisting."
Richard sank deeply into the sofa, his dark brown eyes dark and boundless, "Lanson's final outcome is to be annexed by Valencia. Do you still want to follow that man and fight against us?"
Lean did not answer, but changed the subject and asked, "Richard, during my more than a year in Lanson, I saw those Lanson people bleeding and dying for their motherland. They gave up everything and swore to defend their homeland to the death. They
They are so weak, but they can unleash such amazing power to fight against armies that are much stronger than them. Do you really think there is any point in continuing such a war?"
Richard frowned, "What do you want to say?"
"Valencia now is no longer what it was in the past. Although the Isildar family has sworn allegiance to Valencia, is that Karl really worth the sacrifice we have to make?" A trace of sadness gradually appeared on the handsome face, "It's meaningless.
War, a war that brings suffering to the people, should end. I think what the anti-war faction is doing is not wrong."
"you……"
Richard was stunned.
"War brings only death and pain. If anti-war people find you, you might as well have a good talk with them and listen to their thoughts."
"Are you crazy!?"
Lean shook his head slowly, "I'm not crazy, I'm very sober now. Richard, everyone knows our family's loyalty to the country, but now some people believe the villain's slander and question our loyalty. Would you rather our family
In the whirlpool of being suspected and plotted by others, do you still have to work hard for that person?"
"The mission of the Isildar family is to obey. How can we stand with those who are opposed? Do you want our family to be charged with treason?"
Lean's deep voice gradually became deeper and deeper, "This stupid and useless prime minister will lead us to destruction. Rather than being stuck in the war for a long time, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible. Perhaps, we can work with the anti-war faction to elect a new president."
A peace-loving, broad-minded leader with real leadership and decision-making ability can bring an early end to this endless war."
Lean put out the cigarette butt, stood up and said, "It's very late, I'm going back to my room first."
Richard had not yet recovered from the other party's words. He was leaning on the sofa alone, smoking a cigarette and thinking.
Li En walked to the door of Leng Ling's room and opened the door gently.
The room was very quiet. The dim lights in the corridor shone slantly on the floor, making it quiet.
Lean closed the door and walked slowly over. The dark room was filled with faint moonlight, illuminating the blurry outline of the man on the bed.
