The aroma of tea permeated the air, and in the study of the City Lord's Mansion, the lights illuminated Lucy's face. After the butler made tea for Edward and the distinguished guests, he exited the study room. Lucy closed her eyes and took a deep breath of the fragrance of the tea leaves, took a sip and slowly tasted them in her mouth. After the aroma of the tea filled her mouth, she drank it. She said, "So the situation on Heaven Star is so bad. Are there invaders from the east? That's really a mistake..."

"Yes, if His Highness hadn't extended a helping hand in time, in fact I would have given up on Bauhinia Flower City." Edward said, "It has been more than a year since Your Highness left. How is your Highness doing?"

"Although there are a lot of unsatisfactory things, but it's not bad. On your side, Alan is gone, isn't it a lot of pressure?" Lucy opened her eyes.

Edward nodded and said, "There are a lot of pressures, both internal and external. But this is where Master Allen's foundation is. No matter what, I will defend it for him."

"It's a pity that I only brought a bodyguard this time, and I have another mission."

Edward shook his head and said: "Your Highness has a heart, and it is enough to temporarily relieve the urgent need. If everything depends on His Highness, Master Allen will be blamed if he finds out."

Lucy laughed: "Alan won't blame you, I still know this. Speaking of Alan, he should come to Paradise Star soon."

Edward's body trembled slightly: "Is there any news about the young master, Your Highness?"

"It's a long story." Lucy put down her tea cup: "You also know why Alan left everyone. That's right, it's his identity as the Son of Twilight. After returning to Star Idahua, I have been looking for Looking for a way to change his fate. Finally, there are some clues now, and one of the clues points to Paradise Star. I have already notified Allen, so he will come to Paradise Star in a short time."

"This is really great." Edward asked again: "Can I help His Highness?"

"No, you just need to guard Allen's territory. As for the rest, I will find a way myself."

"By the way, there is probably one more thing you need to pay attention to."

Edward raised his head, and Lucy said, "I need you to pay attention to a woman named Angeloni. This woman may be bad for Allen. In fact, Allen and I will go to Paradise Star this time. Beyond the means, this woman is another reason we're here."

Then Lucy gave a rough description of Angeloni's appearance.

After listening to her description, Edward showed a shocked expression. Lucy raised her eyebrows: "Why, you've seen her already?"

"Angeloni... Anne?" Edward said in a deep voice, "If I think correctly, a woman named Anne may be the Angeloni that His Highness mentioned."

Lucy suddenly stood up: "Where is this person?"

Edward immediately called a Dark Blade and gave some orders.

After a while, the dark blade came back and said to Edward: "My lord, that woman named Anne 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 did she do here?"

Edward frowned and said: "This is the strange thing, because she saved Father Miro and Orlando successively, and just today, she accepted my invitation to fight to the death with the strong man of the other party. If she is said to be bad for Master Allen, then Why is she doing these things?"

"What an unpredictable woman..." Lucy was also surprised.

Also in this night, on the other side of the iron gun collar, the imperial army from the east has surrounded Gun City. Just outside the city of Gun City, the farmland that originally belonged to Gun City has now become a wasteland. The Panlong Empire's army leveled it up, and countless military tents were erected on the wasteland to build a heavily fortified military camp. The braziers in the barracks illuminated the camp brightly, and the guards who strictly demarcated the route passed through it, making the plan to attack the barracks a joke.

Right in the center of the camp, in a large ornate tent, the sound of wind music is floating out from the dismantled tent. The lights in the camp were brightly lit, seven dancers were waving their water sleeves and dancing gracefully, musicians from the East were playing flute and piano, and the camp was full of sensuality. There is a gorgeous couch in the tent, on which King Jiwu lies on his side. A stunning beauty in tulle was sitting on the ground, leaning on the couch, sending pearl-like grapes to King Jiwu's mouth. There are also two fragrant beauties, one hammering his feet and the other pinching his shoulders, obediently serving this mighty old prince of the Panlong Empire.

At this time, someone came in, and a general pushed the two women to the ground, and said with a big laugh, "Would you like to taste the taste of this barbarian woman?"

King Jiwu's eyes were half-opened and half-closed, as if he was asleep, but he said: "Forget it, they are just vulgar people, they are tasteless to eat, what's the use of it."

"That's right, how can these savage girls compare to the beauties carefully trained by the lord, that's why I spoiled the lord's interest."

"Report!"

Soldiers shouted from outside the tent.

King Jiwu frowned: "Yu Ni, go and see what's going on."

On the side of the couch, the man with his hands behind his back and half of the iron mask on his face immediately walked out of the tent without a sound. After a while, he came back, with serious eyes: "My lord, something happened to Commander Hong."

King Jiwu opened his eyes sharply, and his eyes were full of energy: "What's wrong with my son Hong Lie?"

"I just got the battle report from King Pingxi. In today's siege, Commander Hong... Commander Hong died in battle!"

"What?" King Jiwu clenched his five fingers out of control. He had put his hand lightly on the woman who was feeding the grapes. This grip immediately crushed the woman's hand. The young woman screamed in pain, King Jiwu glared at her angrily, slapped her across the face with his hand, and slapped her into the air, and when she fell to the ground, her neck was broken, and she died!

The other two women trembled when they saw it. Fortunately, King Jiwu didn't pay attention to them. The old man stood up and said coldly, "Who killed Hong Lie?"

"It is said that it was done by a strong man from the enemy side. When King Pingxi arrived, Commander Hong had already died in battle."

"Hurry up?" King Jiwu sneered and said, "Since it's an attack on the city, and the other side has a strong man in charge, why didn't that kid, Prince Pingxi, come together. This is clearly to let Hong Lie die in his place, okay, King Pingxi. Yours You have a lot of guts, dare to use a borrowed knife to kill my people. Very good, Yu Ni, prepare your horse!"

The iron-masked man knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it's not appropriate to turn against King Pingxi at this time. Besides, someone else killed Commander Hong, regardless of whether it was King Pingxi's borrowed knife or not. But if you trouble him because of this , I am afraid that it will attract the intervention of King Dasheng."
