C148 To Retreat in Order to Advance
When Sophie arrived at Lee Xiang's side, she immediately woke up. The first thing she saw was the concerned expression on Lee Xiang's face. Her heart warmed a little. She shook her head slightly at Lee Xiang, indicating that she was fine.
Lee Xiang let out a long sigh of relief. He was honestly worried just now. Now that he saw that there was nothing wrong with her, he felt relieved. Initially, he wanted to comfort her. But then he remembered that his uncle had just been taken away by someone. In such an environment. . . It seemed a little inappropriate, thus. . . He forced himself to swallow his words and gave her a reassuring look.
At this moment, Ao Guang and the other man had already returned to their left and right. They were on guard, and at the same time, they gave him a casual look.
Of course, Li Nian knew very well in his heart that the two of them had actually intentionally let Ling Tian go just now. This made Lee Xiang very satisfied, because the matter just now had been urgent. He simply didn't have the time to inform them. So he was still secretly worried that these two brothers wouldn't be stupid enough to cooperate with them to capture Ling Tian? However, reality proved that his worries were unnecessary. After all, these two brothers at least had brains. Because Lee Xiang had already arranged for them to help Ling Tian once. This proved that he didn't wish for anything to happen to Ling Tian. The two of them could still think of this.
Shaun was obviously very satisfied with the current situation. However, at the same time, he looked at the Ao Guang brothers with great interest. Obviously, he was even more interested in them. Because he had no idea that Lee Xiang had two powerful men by his side.
However, Ling Tian had left. But this way, the following troubles might come. Because the performance of these two people just now would easily make people suspect that they had deliberately let Ling Tian go.
Sure enough, at this moment, everyone in the hall had their attention focused on Lee Xiang. Including Ronton and Barut.
"Duke, don't worry. I believe Smith will be safe and sound. "Barut walked to Ronton's side first and comforted him in a low voice.
Ronton nodded expressionlessly. He could not afford to offend this prince. But at this moment, he didn't show any good expression. After all, if it wasn't for them secretly hiding it from him, such a thing wouldn't have happened today.
Barut looked embarrassed. Of course, he knew that Ronton was blaming him in his heart. He smiled bitterly and turned his head to look at Lee Xiang again. At the same time, he glanced at Sophie, who was sitting beside him naturally.
"I didn't expect Baron to have two strong men with him. This is really surprising. "
"Many people know about this. It's normal that His Highness didn't know about it because he just arrived. " Lee Xiang smiled faintly. He turned to look at Ao Guang and his brother and ordered, "Hurry up and go out to help Chief Kerry save my uncle. What are you waiting for?" Ao Guang and his brother just nodded. Ronton suddenly took over the conversation and said, "No need. I think he will contact us directly. They would not be able to find him now. Besides, Lee Xiang nodded. It seemed like Ronton had gradually calmed down. Therefore, he started to think about the problem in an orderly manner.
"I am very curious. . . " Barut looked at Lee Xiang and continued. "Just now, Baron's two guards gave people the feeling that they wanted to make a path for them. Logically speaking, it was as if Baron's two guards wanted to make a path for them. Their strength shouldn't be so weak. They should be able to retreat after being struck by Ling Tian, right?" Lee Xiang laughed coldly to himself. He had also thought of this problem, but fortunately, he had already thought of a plan. He smiled and said, "I am also a mage, so I know that the battle between the strong is only one line apart. Sometimes a difference of one level is actually an insurmountable gap. Just like Chief Kerry and the others, they were also level 8 powerhouses. However, they were still unable to block Ling Tian's all-out attack. That's the logic! "
"But at the very least, he can block it for a period of time, right? Why isn't there even a block? "This question was brought up by one of the directors of Magic And Martial Academy. Because he has more authority, everyone including Ronton looked at Lee Xiang once more.
Lee Xiang shrugged and was about to answer when Shaun, who was standing next to him, said," That's not right. Everyone should have noticed that the two of them were focusing on saving people. Don't forget that Mrs. Sophie was beside them at that time, and Mrs. Sophie had no ability to resist at all. So if it was only to save you, my brother, and abandon Mrs. Sophie, he would not care. Everyone could clearly see this because Ao Guang and Mrs. Sophie were the first to save Sophie. Next was Barut. Their action naturally attracted everyone's attention. Could it be that Sophie was more important than Barut? No wonder Barut was angry.
Barut wanted to say more. Ronton waved his hand and said loudly, "Today's matter has frightened the two of you. It was Ronton who did not do his duty to protect you. Now, please go and rest. I will take care of the rest of the matters. "
Ronton expressed his opinion very straightforwardly. It seemed like he was very annoyed by Smith's capture, and he didn't even give face to the prince.
Barut didn't know what to say when he heard what Ronton said. Nodding his head, he led the way out of the hall with an unfriendly expression on his face.
Lee Xiang originally wanted to send Sophie back first, but he was stopped midway by Ronton. Shaun was also smart. He knew that Lee Xiang was worried, so he consciously helped him out.
In Ronton's study room. Lee Xiang and Lindman sat on both sides. The three of them had gloomy expressions on their faces at the same time.
"What do you think about your uncle's matter?" Ronton looked at Lee Xiang and asked in a deep voice.
"The most important thing right now is to think of a way to save my uncle. The rest is secondary!" Li Jun did not think about it and answered directly.
Ronton and Lindman smiled bitterly at the same time. Everyone knew the answer, but how could they save him? If Ling Tian didn't want you to find him, you definitely wouldn't be able to find him.
After a long time, Ronton let out a bitter sigh. "This matter can't be blamed on anyone else. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame this beast for not using his brain. He didn't even understand the meaning of the Imperial Capital, and thought that it was some sort of great sweetness. "No matter what, saving someone now is a big matter!" "What?
Ronton shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Ling Tian was originally blaming us for not keeping our word. To be honest, I have no other choice now. Unless we invite a few more level 9 experts, and even if we invite them over. . . If Ling Tian doesn't want to let them go, we have no other choice. Because he can definitely kill Smith and then calmly retreat. So now we can only wait, wait for him to take the initiative to come and find me. Name your conditions. . . " The few of them fell silent at the same time. This seemed to be the only way.
"What do you think about today's matter?" After a long while, Ronton looked at Lee Xiang and asked unexpectedly, What do you think?

"What do you mean?" Lee Xiang carefully asked back because Ronton's question was too general. The scope was also very wide.
"I'm talking about the attack on Ling Tian!" Ronton's expression was unfriendly.
Lee Xiang thought for a while before replying in a low voice, "From the beginning to the end of this matter, as well as Fourth Prince's attitude and some of the details, I think. . . " Speaking until here, Lee Xiang stopped.
"Go on!"
"I think the Empire will take back the direct command of Silo Province!" Lee Xiang had already guessed this problem when he found out that Smith had hidden from Ronton to sneak attack Ling Tian under Barut's instructions. And when he connected this to the important position of Silo Province, the current thoughts of the empire were already on the verge of popping out.
Ronton and Lindman looked at each other, and at the same time, they saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"Of course. . . " Lee Xiang carefully looked at their expressions and continued. "Maybe this is Fourth Prince's idea, and the empire is probably just thinking about it. "
Lindman sighed and took over the words. "Actually, the empire has sent two princes to assist in this matter. This is a very puzzling matter, and through today's incident, it has proved my previous speculation. No matter what kind of explanation it is, In short, the Empire does indeed have such intentions. In my opinion, It is just a way to express it through Fourth Prince's actions. The biggest purpose of this is actually to test your reaction to this matter, Grand Duke?" Ronton's expression was unfriendly. He nodded very seriously.
"Then what do you think I should do next? "Lindman nodded slightly. After thinking for a while, he turned to Lee Xiang and suddenly asked, "What do you think, my lord?"
Lindman and Ronton looked at Lee Xiang at the same time. The latter added," Speak boldly. This is a matter that concerns the survival of our family. Don't have too many concerns! "
Lee Xiang nodded. How could he not know how delicate the current situation was? It could be said that if he did not handle it properly, there would be a situation that no one wanted to see. Besides, this matter was also related to his own future.
"Grandson thought that we can remain calm for now. Of course, he still had to express his dissatisfaction, especially when his uncle was captured by Ling Tian. We can totally vent it out, as long as we grasp this speed. . . This way, we can tactfully hint to your attitude towards this matter, and at the same time, it can also be considered a small warning to those people in the Imperial Capital! "
"How can you control this speed?" The two people's expressions changed as they asked at the same time.
Lee Xiang smiled faintly. "We must take it first. Since the empire has already thought of this, why don't you take advantage of this opportunity to put down everything in your hands and take the initiative to ask the imperial capital to hand over the full authority of command here?"
The two of them were startled at the same time. However, they immediately understood what Lee Xiang meant. Lindman first clapped his hands and cheered, "What a good idea to take a step back in order to advance. I think that if it was you, the archduke, who took the initiative to withdraw because of Smith's arrest, the empire would be even more worried! He would even blame Fourth Prince because of this. This is indeed a clever plan! "
