CHAPTER 1059: CHAPTER 1059: THE PRINCE’S DEMEANOR SUDDENLY CHANGES (5)

Huangfu Qi once again showed a smile, "I’ve already said, I will travel alongside the General all the way to the Northwest."

General Yuri also smiled, "I believe the Duke is mistaken, we have other tasks and cannot head to the Northwest."

"How so?" Huangfu Qi arched an eyebrow, "Are you implying, General, that you don’t intend to obey the orders of the Congress?"

"Of course not!" General Yuri shrugged lightly, "We have not received any orders."

"Oh, I see." Huangfu Qi nodded, "No wonder my sister-in-law asked me to come and deliver the command, indeed, outsiders can’t be relied on. Now..." He sat up straight, "I formally convey to you the orders from the Royal Palace and Her Highness the Princess, requesting General Yuri to immediately take all elite taxes and rush to the northwest sea area."

"The Duke is drunk!" General Yuri raised his right hand, "Take the Duke to a room to rest."

"Yes!"

Two subordinates immediately stepped forward, intending to assist Huangfu Qi.

But before they could touch him, Huangfu Qi had already reached into the inner pocket of his suit, pulled out something to point at General Yuri.

The dark color shimmered with a bluish glow under the light—it was a handgun!

There was a commotion!

Seeing him draw the gun, everyone swiftly drew their weapons, aiming at Huangfu Qi.

He remained unperturbed, raised his left hand to fish out a cigar from his pocket, flicking one to General Yuri while placing another in his mouth, then turned the gun towards his own face, and pulled the trigger.

As the crowd frowned, the gun produced a faint sound and a flame shot out from the muzzle.

It turned out that it was not a handgun but a replica handgun lighter.

Slowly rotating the cigar to light it, Huangfu Qi took a deep drag, exhaling a cloud of grayish-blue smoke.

"This is a little gadget I bought from Finland, thought you guys hadn’t seen it before, turns out, you folks are so familiar with it!" He laughed as he tossed the replica handgun lighter onto the table, "General, I think we need to talk!"

General Yuri raised his right hand, and his subordinates immediately put away their guns and left the living room, leaving only a trusted deputy standing behind him, watching Huangfu Qi warily.

"This must be your confidant, since there are no outsiders now, I won’t beat around the bush!" Huangfu Qi leaned back on the sofa with his cigar, "If this time, General Yuri doesn’t accept my suggestion, you will regret it for a lifetime."

General Yuri squinted his eyes slightly, "Why do you say that?"

Huangfu Qi exhaled a puff of smoke, his handsome face appearing mysterious and unpredictable behind the smoke.

"In less than three days, the Northwest will be heavily surrounded, and if you don’t leave, your ship will miss this feast." He waved his fingers clasping the cigar, exhaling a perfect smoke ring, "So far, the Central Army Corps, the Giant Eagle Air Force, and all other corps have already set out, only you are absent. When it comes time to reward for merits, you will have nothing. I know, the Blood Shark Legion comprises fifty-eight thousand people, three hundred large warships, five hundred small warships, in less than a week, this will all..."

Huangfu Qi pursed his lips to disperse the smoke ring he had blown into midair, "vanish into thin air, leaving you, Yuri... I don’t know whether you prefer spending the rest of your life incarcerated in a military prison or jumping into the sea to feed the fish, but I think either outcome is miserable, isn’t it?"
