Beasts contend

"Backed?"

Edward looked back at Jared.

Jared said, "Yeah, backed off overnight."

Jared was talking about those who assisted Vincent.With Vincent's ability, he can't do anything by himself.These people are gone, they are like punches in the air, limp and unable to exert force.

Edward could detect that several groups of masters came to the Ryan Empire one after another.These batches of masters didn't hurt anyone, just fighting with those guys in the air has already caused the opponents to evacuate quickly.Although the crisis of the Ryan Empire was easily resolved, Edward was still inexplicably unhappy.

The emergence of these masters has something to do with Fan Dong.

There is no goodwill without reason in this world.

This shows that his future partner's abilities are stronger than those shown in front of him.Edward has never imagined who he will spend with in the future, but if his partner is destined to be Colin Lane, he hopes that Colin Lane will be more peaceful and obedient.

However, that now seems impossible.

Edward said: "Our Highness Colin is back?"

Edward's indifferent and questioning tone shocked Jared.On the way back, he already noticed that Edward was a little different from before, and Jared still felt chills down his spine when he heard Edward call out "His Royal Highness Colin" lightly.Some things are really different.

Jared said: "Yes, Your Highness is back. He went to Alisa Plain first, and he should be on his way back to the capital now."

Edward picked up the cloak next to him and put it on his shoulders, and said, "Let's go to meet His Royal Highness Colin."

Jared said, "Your Highness Vincent..."

Edward said: "If he wants to be a bereaved dog, then let him be, don't stop him, let him be picked up. After this lesson, His Highness Colin will not be so stupid as to give him the same chance again." After finishing speaking He strode out.

Edward didn't understand his own thoughts either, but he felt that he should pick up Fan Dong in person.Although not very obedient, Fan Dong is still his partner after all.And there was an inexplicable emotion spreading in his heart, bit by bit eating away at his calmness and reason.

How many days has it been?It seems that there are only a few days, but he always feels that it has been a long time, so long that he wants to see his little lion for the first time.

Yes, his little lion.

After regaining this title, Edward felt a little more at ease.He walked outside the office, and Deputy Commander Donald greeted him.Seeing Donald, many images also flashed in Edward's mind. This man who was loyal to the royal family did not switch to Vincent when the capital fell, which is enough to show his current position.

Edward said: "Deputy Commander Donald, His Highness Colin is coming back soon, let's go and greet him together."

Donald raised his head and met Edward's sharp gaze.Going shows the attitude of the entire military department.They all chose Colin Lane as the crown prince, and from then on, the military department only recognized Colin Lane!

Donald stood up straight, and replied seriously: "Yes, Commander Edward!"

Compared with Vincent and Phil, he is more willing to choose Colin Lane.

Many shops on the streets of Wangdu have reopened to welcome customers, and the windows beside the road are opened one by one, looking out quietly.Seeing the military officials in black military uniforms leaving the city together, everyone looked at each other and began to discuss in low voices: "Where is Edward leading them?" Bless, lovely His Royal Highness Colin must be safe and well."

Although Fan Dong was not in the country at the most critical moment, he was invited by Emperor Tiger to celebrate his birthday. How can he be blamed?No one expected that the gentle and gentle Highness Vincent would suddenly come back with someone to "clean" the empire two years after leaving the empire!

No one is a fool or an idiot. After comparing Vincent's and Edward's actions, everyone understands Vincent's ambition and cruelty.It is really hateful to want to take advantage of His Majesty's serious illness to seize power!

Many people followed behind Edward and the others and walked outside the city gate.Although they had just experienced a brief turmoil, no one was worried after seeing the appearance of Edward and the others.With Edward in charge and His Royal Highness Colin present, there will definitely be no more problems.

Fan Dong and his team dealt with several groups of retreating rebels, and they finally arrived at the capital.From afar, Fan Dong saw several familiar figures appearing in his field of vision.

Fan Dong's heart skipped a beat.He felt that something was happening, but he couldn't turn his horse's head and leave. He had to go back to the capital, and he had to go to treat His Majesty the king—there were many things he had to do.

Yeah, he had to do it.

Fan Dong tightened the reins to make the horse go faster.

Soon, Fan Dong saw clearly the person who was approaching him.Not one person, but a team.They were all in very formal uniform, caps, medals, shiny belts, and shiny boots.Their movements are very neat, their speed is very uniform, and their expressions are similarly solemn and serious.

Fan Dong reined in.

Everyone in the military headed by Edward also reined in.

The others followed Edward and got off their horses.

Fan Dong's heart seemed to be tightly held by an invisible hand.He was about to dismount, but was stunned on the horse's back by Edward's next movement.

Edward knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty is unconscious, but the empire is still in chaos. Please take care of the government affairs temporarily, and calm down the chaos as soon as possible."

Without hesitation, Donald and the others knelt down on one knee and repeated: "Please take care of the government affairs temporarily, Your Highness, and calm down the chaos as soon as possible."

Fan Dong looked at Edward who was looking up at him, and his hand holding the rein tightened involuntarily.Edward wanted to take this opportunity to finalize the candidate for the Crown Prince, while His Majesty the King was still awake, and while people's hearts were in turmoil—looked at Donald and the others beside Edward, and then at the residents of the royal capital who followed and knelt down one after another , Fan Dong suddenly realized that he did not have the right to choose.These people have already stated their positions!He can retreat, but they can't; if he can't become the crown prince or king, they will either die or rebel, and there is no room for it.

Fan Dong jumped off his horse and walked forward quickly.He paused slightly in front of Edward, leaned over and pulled Edward up: "Thank you, Commander Edward."

Edward was in a daze for a moment when he heard Fan Dong's voice, then his body reacted one step ahead of him, reached out and pulled Fan Dong into his arms, hugging him tightly.Feeling that the body in his arms was a little stiff, Edward said: "Your Highness, don't be afraid, I have everything." He knew that all this was a bit difficult for Fan Dong who only likes to eat, drink and have fun, and only likes everyone to be happy together, but in fact It doesn't matter, Fan Dong can still be as happy as before, and leave other things to him.

Fan Dong paused, then looked up at Edward.

Edward let go of Fan Dong, and helped Fan Dong tidy up the collar that was blown by the wind along the way.On the way here, he also thought about how to make this little lion less naive, such as making him lose one or two important arms.But at the moment when he hugged him into his arms, he knew that he would never do that - just like he had the opportunity to make His Majesty disappear forever, but still invited Qiu Fengbai to treat His Majesty.

He didn't want to see the little lion look sad, and he didn't want to let himself be the one who made the little lion sad.

Edward turned around and motioned for the others to make way.He beckoned to Fan Dong's horse, and personally put Fan Dong on the horse.Then he got on his horse and rode side by side with Fan Dong, and returned to the capital.

Fan Dong could feel the slight change in Edward.

The indifference that radiated from Edward's bones when he first woke up seemed much less-as if the intimacy between them just now was not entirely a play.

Fan Dong hopes to go to the palace to meet His Majesty the King as soon as possible.

Edward did not object, and personally sent Fan Dong to His Majesty's bedroom.When seeing His Majesty the King, Fan Dong froze.A high-level powerhouse actually ages so fast!

How can this be?

Seeing that Qiu Fengbai was talking to Shen Ming and Shen Mo, Fan Dong stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Qiu, how is Dad doing?"

Qiu Feng said in vain: "He was plotted against." During the duel, the other party quietly used a weapon of the artifact level, completely draining the spiritual power in His Majesty's body!

After hearing Qiu Fengbai's judgment, Fan Dong stepped forward to check for His Majesty the King himself.The state of His Majesty the King is not optimistic. Injuries can be treated, but aging cannot be reversed.Fan Dong tried to sort out the spiritual power in His Majesty's body, but found that the meridians in His Majesty's body were like dry rivers, and he couldn't find much spiritual power for him to "clean up".

Is there really no way out?

Fan Dong sat quietly by the bed, silently asking Primo old man.Seeing Fan Dong asking questions like a lost child, the old man Primo sighed and said, "The other party is using the Soul Cauldron, right? If so, then there is no other way. You can use pills to make the tripod go away. When he wakes up, it's probably impossible to recover his mental strength."

After Fan Dong questioned, the old man Primo finally revealed what the Soul Cauldron was.Similar to Prisoner God, Soul Cauldron is a magical weapon that can absorb other people's spiritual power and store it—if it wasn't too evil, it might also be called a divine weapon!

But it would be nice to wake up His Majesty the King.

Fan Dong wrote down the prescription given by the old man Primo, stood up and said to Edward and Qiu Fengbai: "I want to take care of my father."

Edward didn't object.He kissed Fan Dong's forehead lightly, and then Fan Dong said with blank eyes: "I'll deal with other things." After speaking, he really turned and left.

Qiu Fengbai was originally worried that there would be problems between Fan Dong and Edward, but after seeing how they got along, she finally felt relieved.

He and Fan Dong are preparing to treat His Majesty the King.

After three days of medicinal bath, His Majesty the King finally woke up.

Fan Dong shouted in surprise: "Dad!"

His Majesty the King's eyes were blank for a moment, as if he didn't understand what was going on.After a while, his gaze gradually narrowed, fixedly looking at Fan Dong who was guarding by the bed.

After putting everything together, His Majesty's expression became serious: "Colin Lane."

Fan Dong looked at His Majesty the King suspiciously: "Father?"

His Majesty the King said: "At this time, are you still living in such a muddle?"

Fan Dong stood there in a daze.

His Majesty the King said: "I'm already a useless person, what's the use of you staying by my bed? This is the time to appease people's hearts and attract people's hearts, but you still stay here every step of the way, letting Edward do all that!" Do you know what that means? It means you surrendered the entire empire to Edward!"

Fan Dong said, "Dad, you said, never doubt Edward's loyalty."

His Majesty said: "That's because you were not the crown prince at that time - you were not even qualified to fight for the position of crown prince. Colin, you have to learn to grow up. I can't hold on anymore. The future of the empire depends on you body!" This son is good at everything, but he is too naive.

Fan Dong held His Majesty's palm.

The hand that was once so strong now seemed so weak.

When His Majesty's stern eyes swept over, Fan Dong raised his head and looked at His Majesty: "If people can change as they say, how can Dad still agree to a duel when he knows that the other party has a soul cauldron?"

His Majesty the King was stopped by Fan Dong.

Yes, if a person can change as he says, how can he lose his mind.No matter how many times I told myself to deal with it calmly, I still couldn't bear it when facing the enemy who killed my friends and relatives—especially, he was sure that he could fight!In the end, he did kill the opponent and destroyed the soul cauldron of the evil sect, but he also reached the point where all the oil was exhausted.No matter how perfect the mask has been worn all these years, he is still the impulsive and proud Peter Ryan in his bones.

His Majesty the King sighed deeply: "So, I am not a qualified king." He shook Fan Dong's palm lightly, "Okay, okay, do as you want, Colin, do as you want do..."

Anyway, it won't be worse than it is now.
