But why did you send the driver's finger here?

The answer quickly appeared.

Lin Hai walked to the sofa in front of Bi Qingqiu, sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea. He looked at Li Dezhu and asked, "Do you want a drink?"

"No."

"If not, then forget it. The tea the Lord drinks is a fine one."

Lin Hai poured himself a full cup, downed it in one gulp, then looked sharply at Bi Qingqiu and said, "No other intentions, just a reminder for Lord Bi: We are not good people."

"As long as we want, we can cut Young Master Bi into countless pieces... each piece the size of this finger."

"You... what exactly do you want?"

"We want Lord Bi's loyalty."

"..."

"What? Is there a problem?"

"You should be clear, I'm just the City Lord; city defense and security is the work of the City Defense General. The military and political divisions, I cannot influence his decisions."

"That's your problem." Lin Hai didn't care about Bi Qingqiu's explanation and said, "You need to prove your value. If you have no value, then what meaning is there for Young Master Bi to live?"

"..."

Aus Empire. Summer Palace.

The golden-haired, blue-eyed, handsome Prince Philip strode over to the steward, Yi Qiushi, and said, "I have important matters to see father."

"Your Highness, the King has ordered that you are to remain at home and reflect on yourself, not to meddle in state affairs." Yi Qiushi said with a kindly smile but was expressing a refusal.

As the head steward of the summer palace, he knew how to maintain the balance between the emperor and the outside world.

Especially the relationship between the emperor and the princes.

"Yi Qiushi, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our Aus Empire, please do notify him." Prince Philip pleaded.

Although he was nobility as a prince, he still needed the steward's transmission and consent to see his own father.

Otherwise, he simply couldn't get close to his father.

Unless his father suddenly remembered this son of his.

In front of the Prime Minister's gate is a third-rank official, what rank is an official in front of the Emperor?

"Your Highness, please don't make things difficult for me." Yi Qiushi's attitude was resolute.

Kidding, Prince Philip led the Sea God Fleet to assist Tang Fei without King Lionheart's knowledge, delivering a fierce and brutal strike against the Phoenix Empire's Beihai Fleet, disrupting the Empire's plan to ally with Phoenix Minister Shen Wuxiang, resulting in Prince Caesar being captured by Shen Wuxiang in public...

King Lionheart was thunderously furious, commanding Prince Philip to immediately return to the palace and offered substantial benefits to alleviate Shen Wuxiang's hostility towards the Aus Empire.

But until now, Prince Caesar is still 'on assignment' in the Phoenix Empire, nominally negotiating for an alliance but in reality being 'confined' by Shen Wuxiang.

If you want to cooperate, then show some sincerity.

Hmm, Prince Caesar is the sincerity the Aus Empire has shown.

This sincerity is very sincere.

After returning, Prince Philip was immediately confined by King Lionheart, 'not to leave without an order'.

Now he's sneaked to the summer palace, and not going to King Lionheart to report this himself has already been considered a special favor to him, how could he dare to run and notify him?

Prince Philip glanced inside, shouting angrily: "Yi Qiushi, who do you think you are? You dare to block my way?"

"You've been around the master for so long, you consider yourself a master too? You're just a watchdog we raised in the palace..."

"I want to see my father, what right do you have to intercept? Are you plotting something sinister to harm my father?"

"I tell you, step aside immediately... If I don't see my father today, I won't leave..."

"Alright, alright, stop acting, the play is over."

King Lionheart tied his robe belt while walking over to the outer hall.

It was clear that Old Teddy had just been busy harmonizing life...

"Father..." Prince Philip bowed in greeting and asked, "Is your health alright?"

"Temporarily won't die." King Lionheart went to the liquor cabinet, poured himself a glass of whiskey, took a big drink, and then asked, "Speak, what urgent matter did you have to make such a fuss to see me?"

"Father, Tang Fei intends to attack Luo City."

"Hmm? What does that have to do with us?" King Lionheart asked.

"If Tang Fei captures Luo City, then it's a direct threat to the Phoenix Capital, and great things can be accomplished." Philip looked anxiously at King Lionheart and said, "If we don't bet now, it'll be too late."

King Lionheart furrowed his brow, contemplating the pros and cons of betting on Tang Fei.

"Father, the more merits we gain at the beginning, the larger the share of the cake we can get later. Currently, only the Sea God Fleet is stationed at Liyu Port, which is far from the benefits our Aus deserves..."

"How are you certain Tang Fei will surely win?" King Lionheart looked thoughtfully at Prince Philip and asked.

"Father, I knew Tang Fei could accomplish great things long ago when I first met him."

"Moreover, think about it, he quickly rose to power in a few years and now has the capital to contend with Shen Wuxiang... isn't he worth our trust?"

King Lionheart pondered for a moment and asked Prince Philip, "What are your plans?"

"Dragon fights Tiger battles, and we're about to snatch the chestnuts from the fire. I need father's full support."

"I will assign you command of the Holy Legion and the Starlight Army."

"Thank you, father. I will definitely not disappoint your expectations." Philip said excitedly; the Holy Legion was the army with which the empire was founded and is the empire's first legion.

It is equivalent to the Phoenix Empire's 'Phoenix Dance Army'.
