Chapter 211 Departure is imminent

Chapter 211 Departure is imminent

Compared to fighting, investigation is what Quinn is best at.

Facts have proved that she did not disappoint Lu Qi.

At that time, the people who opposed Mellie's appointment had basically been investigated clearly, and the next thing to do was to investigate more detailed details.

At that time, some ministers wanted to maintain the image of the king and not to mess around with the establishment of the queen, so it was normal for them to object to this.

But Mellie, a pregnant woman at that time, was able to leave quietly in front of the king.

There must be a deeper reason for this.

For example, who secretly helped her stay away from the royal capital?

If this is the case, then it proves that someone must have found Mellie privately back then.

This is what Lu Qi wants to know.

"Your Highness, while I was investigating, I also discovered something." Seeing that Lu Qi had almost seen everything, Quinn continued: "It seems that there are other people who are also investigating this matter. I discovered the other party. , the other party didn’t notice me.”

Hearing this, Lu Qi thought for a moment.

There are still people investigating what happened back then, so this person is actually easy to confirm.

It is probably his father Jarvan III.

Jarvan III was also kept in the dark back then, and he didn't realize it until Mellie disappeared.

Now that he is firmly on the throne, what happened back then must be thoroughly investigated.

"Continue to investigate and focus on these people."

Lu Qi took a pen and drew a circle on several names, then thought for a second and added the name of the leader of the Demon Seeker Corps: "And him, be careful when investigating, this person is not simple."

"yes."

Quinn took the notebook back and responded seriously.

She didn't stay for breakfast and left the yard quickly.

Lu Qi took his thoughts away from this matter and returned to the house to start preparing breakfast.

Half an hour later, Lux and others entered the yard together.

"You might as well forget it because you are so lazy that you don't even want to see Miss Sword Girl off."

Entering the courtyard, Lux looked at Lu Qi angrily.

Fiona told her yesterday that she was going back to Mithril City, so they got up early this morning and went to the city gate to say goodbye.

It turned out that Lu Qi didn't come.

Hearing this, Lu Qi replied: "I have already sent it away."

Lux looked at him suspiciously: "When did you send it to me?"

"Don't ask, it's earlier than you anyway."

Lu Qi chuckled.

Lux felt that this guy must be fooling her, as they had already said goodbye at the city gate at dawn.

This guy was earlier than her, how could it be possible!

But it's useless to say anything now. The Laurent family's carriage has probably already left the royal capital for a while.

After breakfast.

The temperature has dropped a few points today, the air is chilly and there is no sunshine at all.

At noon, Lux and Kashina came back from the Illuminator Church. The two girls looked a little worried.

After Lu Qi saw it, he asked aloud: "What happened?"

Lacus nodded and said, "Recently, the church's illuminators seem to be preparing to head to the border."

Then, the two girls started talking to each other one by one.

The news of a war on the border has spread recently. Behind every war, innocent people must be implicated.

This is the mission of the Illuminators. They will stand up at times like this and lend a helping hand to those people.

In addition, there are also some illuminators who are willing to join the military's medical logistics.

This kind of logistics often rushes to the battlefield with the army. Their mission is to help rescue our injured soldiers during the battle.

It also has great significance on the battlefield.

This is a very sacred mission for them, and no one should be afraid of it.

Now, the Illuminators are actively preparing to go to the border without calling.

In the morning, the two girls learned about this. It was obvious that they also wanted to go to the border together.

However, they are only trainee illuminators now, and coupled with the issue of identity, it may not be that easy.

They didn't know how to talk to their families.

After listening, Lu Qi asked: "So you have already decided?"

"Yes." Lux's face was serious and her eyes flickered with determination: "I want to go."

Kasina also nodded in agreement.

Lu Qi immediately smiled and said: "Now that I have decided, why do you want to do so much? I am not a child anymore."

What they worry about is whether their family will agree.

If Miss Crown Guard had not passed her coming of age ceremony, Ogesha would definitely not want her to go to the border.

But now, she has the right to decide the path she wants to take.

However, the two girls have not yet recovered from the change in status.

Sure enough, it was just as Lu Qi said.

After Lux returned home, she talked about it with Ogesha. After Ogesha repeatedly confirmed that she was serious, she said nothing more and started to tell her some things.

The same is true for Kashina. Barrett, who once held an important position in the military, looked relieved after hearing that she had such an idea.

In the afternoon.

After Lu Qi received a letter, he got on the carriage and went to the R\u0026D base of the Research Institute.

After arriving at the place.

Without saying a word, Wenhuade led him to a warehouse.

"The gunpowder you mentioned has been prepared. After experiments, there is no problem with its power and it is very stable."

As he spoke, he opened the door to the warehouse.

After turning on the light switch, there was a "click" and the inside suddenly lit up.

Lu Qi looked around and saw a warehouse full of gunpowder supplies neatly arranged inside.

Wenhua De continued: "There are also several warehouses around. Logically speaking, the supplies are sufficient."

Lu Qi nodded slightly and said, "Dean, please start making preparations. I want to go to the palace."

"Um."

Wynward nodded.

After Lu Qi left, he immediately began to arrange for people to transport gunpowder supplies.

Lu Qi, who got on the carriage and headed to the palace, was thinking.

When the R\u0026D base was initially established, the main research project was gunpowder.

After several months, the progress of gunpowder research and development can be said to have improved rapidly. Now, it has the conditions to go on the battlefield.

And this batch of newly developed gunpowder will appear on the border battlefield for the first time.

Although good news about Jarvan IV often came from the border, Lu Qi had the impression that Jarvan IV's expedition this time would not go particularly smoothly.

Before he set off, Lu Qi was still a little worried even though he had warned him.

After much thought, it would be better to go to the border in person.

Inside the palace.

In the office of Jarvan III.

When Lu Qi opened the door and walked in, he took one look and said with a smile, "Auntie is here too, so I don't have to run around in both directions."

At this time, Jarvan III and Tiana were discussing something, and Minister Roy was also beside them.

Tiana looked at him and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Lu Qi said: "Fearless Pioneer can send some manpower."

Tiana frowned: "What do you want the people from the Fearless Vanguard to do? Now half of the Fearless Vanguard have followed your brother to the border. How can there be more manpower?"

Lu Qi then remembered that Lev seemed to have brought half of the Dauntless Vanguard to the border with Jarvan IV.

So it seems that there really aren't many people available.

"I'm a little bored in the capital. I also want to visit the border and fight alongside my brother."

Lu Qi replied with a smile at this time.

Roy also frowned when he heard this: "Your Highness, going to the battlefield is such a child's play. Now that there is a Highness at the border, there is no need for you to go again."

He didn't know Lu Qi well enough.

Although he said it casually, Tiana could tell that he might have made up his mind to go to the border this time.

Logically speaking, one of the two princes must stay in the royal capital.

To prevent accidents.

If a meeting were held at this time, there would definitely be many people who would oppose Lu Qi going to the border.

However, Tiana knew from the beginning that this boy was not simple, and she also knew that although he was young, he always had ideas.

Now that you have decided to go, it is definitely not something you do casually.

Jiawen III looked at him with serious eyes: "Are you really determined to go?"

Lu Qi also became serious and nodded: "Yes, please allow me father."

"In that case, let's go."

Jiawen III didn't think too much, looked at Lu Qi deeply, and agreed to his request.

Thinking of his debt to this child, he actually didn't want Lu Qi to go to the border.

However, when he came back to his senses, he found that this child had grown up very well without him paying attention.

As a father, what he has to do is to block the trouble behind him and let him move forward boldly.

Roy frowned and immediately said: "Your Majesty, you shouldn't be so hasty. There is no reason for two princes to go to the battlefield together."

"It doesn't matter." Jiawen III looked at him and smiled: "I believe in my two children, and you should also believe in me. Let them go, they will not let us down."

Roy wanted to say something more, but Jarvan III waved his hand and stopped him from talking.

Sighing helplessly, he stood aside and could only watch the father and son messing around.

Although he knew that both His Highnesses were capable, he really felt that there was no need for both of them to work together.

But based on his understanding of the third life, he will no longer change his tune now.

Jiawen III looked at Lu Qi and asked, "Is there anything else you need?"

Lu Qi thought for a moment and said, "It should be gone."

Jarvan IV has basically taken those that should be taken to the border.

Now he only needs to set off directly with his soldiers and supplies.

"In short, don't underestimate the enemy just because you have some ability." Tiana looked at Lu Qi and used her own experience to warn: "Those people in Noxus are a mixed bag, don't suffer in their hands."

Lu Qi nodded: "Don't worry, Auntie."

Tiana waved her hand: "Okay, let's get ready."

"Um."

Lu Qi responded, turned and left the office.

Tiana looked at his leaving back and didn't look back until he was gone.

It happened that she heard that Lux and the girl from the Bouvier family were also going to the border.

The relationship between the two families is very good, and the way they raise their children is not pampering, so naturally they will not always take care of them carefully.

Setting foot on the border is something they will have to experience sooner or later.

However, despite saying this, I still feel uneasy after all.

Although this kid is usually lazy and naughty, at times like this, having him with you can make you feel more at ease.

Lu Qi left the palace and the carriage headed all the way to the barracks without stopping.

Now after several months, the personal barracks has been cleaned very clean, and uniform shouts can be heard from time to time in the huge fortress.

When they arrived at the playground, they could see Vayne, Frey, and several newly appointed captains training with the rest of the soldiers.

In this cold weather, at first glance, I feel that it is quite passionate.

The personal barracks has expanded from the initial 300 people to the current 500 people. This number is not too much or too little, just right.

Gathering people together, Lucci told them about going to the border.

After learning about this, the soldiers looked a little excited and were already ready to go to the battlefield.

Afterwards, Lu Qi began to prepare for the departure.

Different from the sudden arrival of Soul Devouring Night last time, he must be more prepared for this departure.

In the evening, when it was about to get dark, he and Master Wei En returned to the small courtyard.

"Where have you been all afternoon?"

Lux sat bored in the living room, watching Lu Qi come back, and said in a bad mood: "We are leaving tomorrow, but you are only coming back now."

Hearing this, Lu Qi chuckled and said, "Just leave. Are you planning to leave and never come back?"

"Bah." Lux spat softly and glared at him: "I advise you to speak up."

Lu Qi then said: "Then I wish you both a smooth journey this time and go back early."

"That's fair enough." Lux said and sighed, "I don't know how long it will take to get back to the border this time."

Kasina also nodded in agreement.

Although they have never been there, they have heard that every war lasts for a long time.

Time is not a problem.

The most important thing is that I may not see Lu Qi for a while.

But this guy has an indifferent and unconcerned expression on his face. Isn't there a little bit of reluctance?

They were inexplicably angry when they saw it!

Lux looked at him with a displeased look on his face and said, "Without us here, you just lie down every day. We'll bore you to death."

"You'll be happy and at ease when I'm not around, okay?"

As Lu Qi spoke, he saw their unhappy and angry eyes, and sighed: "But it's a pity, I'm afraid I won't have any leisure time for a while."

Lux paused for a moment, feeling that she heard something between the words.

But Kashina reacted faster, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "Does Your Highness also want to go to the border together?"

Lu Qi smiled and said nothing.

But he answered silently.

After learning this, Lux and Kashina felt inexplicably better.

"We will set off tomorrow morning." Lu Qi did not continue teasing them and said, "You don't have to follow the Illuminator then, just take my boat and go together."

The two girls immediately nodded in agreement.

Bobby naturally wanted to go with Lu Qi.

Same goes for Sona.

The departure was completely decided.

Because there are still some preparations to be done, the departure time is set for tomorrow morning.

At night, under the quiet night, a figure went and came back.

Sona stood at the door of the yard and cheered herself up again. This time, no one around her made any noise to disturb her.

His aqua blue eyes looked at the yard and trembled.

She took a deep breath and stepped into the yard.

This is destined to be another sleepless night.
