"Outsider? Who is it?" Tianzhang Pavilion Grand Secretary asked hurriedly.
"Could it be the deputy general who went in at noon?"
General Longwei frowned: "I have investigated that person. He has no background, no backing, and is just an old veteran in the army. He can't be on the stage."
"It's not that person, but it's related to that person."
The general soldier of the city guard suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Do you remember what the young prince said at noon? When summoning the deputy general, the young prince specifically mentioned the Duncan family."
"Duncan family?"
The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion was surprised: "You mean that the Duncan family in Stonia has seen the prince before us?"
"The prince didn't see it, but according to my intelligence, this person named Zhengjun Duncan chatted with the young prince for two hours today. The two talked and laughed, just like old friends. The young prince also specially kept him in the palace for dinner. "
The general soldier of the city guard said with a somewhat ugly face: "Everyone, think about it carefully. At this critical moment, the Duncan family sent people here, obviously to find out the news. The young prince ignored us, but only met Zhengjun Duncan privately. Doesn't this explain his attitude? "
"It shouldn't be!" Tianzhang Pavilion University Scholar frowned: "The Duncan family has no relatives or friends with the palace, and there is no interest exchange. Why does the young prince think so highly of Zhengjun Duncan? Is there something fishy?"
"I also find it strange. Although the Duncan family has some influence in Stonia, it is not enough in West Lucozia. Otherwise, they would not find a deputy general as a guide. With the temper of the young prince, he would not give face to such a person at all." General Longwei followed and echoed.
They couldn't figure it out, and they couldn't understand why the young prince would meet Zhengjun Duncan privately?
What is the connection between the two?
"Everyone, the specific reason is no longer important. Now our focus is on how to treat this Duncan family member?" The general soldier of the city guard reminded.
They have met, eaten, and talked about all the topics that should be talked about. It is meaningless to continue to entangle the relationship between the two.
What they need to consider is how to obtain the information they want?
"Grand Secretary, you have a lot of ideas. What do you think?" General Longwei did not respond directly, but threw the problem to the people around him.
"Since we can't meet the prince and the little prince, why not start with this Duncan family member."
The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion touched his white beard and said thoughtfully: "This person came to West Lucozia and is unfamiliar with the place. It should be easy to control. Let's find time to invite him to dinner and find out his details. How about it?"
"Good idea! Just do as the Grand Secretary said!" General Longwei made the decision directly.
Although he couldn't enter the gate of the palace, it was obviously not difficult to deal with a foreigner.
"Then the question is, who will send out the invitation?" The general of the city guard asked back.
"General, that deputy general surnamed Liu seems to be your subordinate, right? How do you think about you sending out the invitation and letting that deputy general surnamed Liu be the middleman?" said the Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion.
"No problem, I'll arrange it immediately!" General Longwei agreed immediately.
Liu Qiang is a subordinate of his subordinate. Usually, people of this level are not qualified to participate in the core meeting.
This time, he personally invited the banquet in his name, and I think the other party would not dare to refuse.
......
After night fell, Zhengjun Duncan, who had eaten and drunk enough, left the palace from the back door.
The palace was a place of right and wrong. He couldn't really stay here, otherwise once the news spread, the Duncan family would be pushed to the forefront.
This was not the result he wanted.
Although he left the palace, he also agreed with Thorian to return to Stonia together tomorrow.
First, they could take care of each other, and second, it would be more convenient.
On the way back to the hotel, Zhengjun Duncan and Liu Qiang chatted all the way.
In Zhengjun Duncan's opinion, it was thanks to Liu Qiang's introduction that he was able to meet Thorian and gain his respect.
In Liu Qiang's opinion, it was purely because of the great influence of the Duncan family that he could also benefit from it.
After all, there are not many opportunities to have a meal with the young prince. Even if it is just to get acquainted with him, it will be of great benefit to future development.
Just as Liu Qiang and Zhengjun Duncan were chatting with each other, the phone rang suddenly.
When Liu Qiang answered the call, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by an ugly one.
"Old Liu, what's wrong? Did something happen?" Zhengjun Duncan, who was sitting next to him, quickly noticed the clues.
"Just now my boss called and said that General Longwei wanted to treat me to a midnight snack, and he also specifically told me to take you over." Liu Qiang looked embarrassed.
"Do you mean that General Longwei is coming for me?" Zhengjun Duncan frowned slightly.
Although he had never met General Longwei, he had heard of him. He was not a good person.
Inviting him to dinner for no reason obviously had other intentions.
"Old Duncan, why don't you go back to the palace? I'll tell the general that you were kept by the young prince to avoid trouble." Liu Qiang suggested.
No matter how powerful General Longwei was, he didn't dare to go against Thorian.
"It's a blessing, not a disaster. If it's a disaster, you can't avoid it. If you don't give me this face today, not only will I be in trouble, but it will be difficult for you to survive in West Lucozia in the future." Zhengjun Duncan shook his head.
"But..."
Liu Qiang was about to say something, but was interrupted by Zhengjun Duncan: "Don't be nervous, it's just a midnight snack, not a guillotine, what's there to be afraid of? Where is the place they agreed on? Let's go there now to avoid going around in circles."
He was not a person who had never seen big storms. If he could only hide when he encountered trouble, what could he achieve?
The Duncan family was a royal family after all, and they would not be scared by a general and dare not show up. - Marinien
