Chapter 1596 The royal family!
As night fell, the entire royal city fell into silence.
From time to time, you can see a team of fully armed iron-armored guards patrolling back and forth on the main roads. The cold light shone on them, shining brightly.
At this moment, a cold wind like a ghost suddenly rose, spun a few yellow fallen leaves and drifted towards the palace.
If Li Chen was here, he would definitely see at a glance that this person was the leader of the thief, Qifeng.
Jifeng seemed very familiar with the terrain of the palace. He was familiar with the road and came directly to a seemingly remote hall.
The palace gate was unattended, and the storm came to the door and opened it on its own.
There have been people waiting here in the main hall.
To be precise, it is three people.
The person sitting on the first seat is Wu Badao, the king of the Dawu Dynasty.
On its left is the chief national teacher Zhuge Hu.
On its right side is Wu Changwen, the ninth prince Wu Badao, who is most loved by the king.
Seeing Jifeng coming with injuries, the national teacher Zhuge Hu took the lead and shouted sternly: "Jifeng, do things happen like this, do you have the face to come back?"
Qifeng had long been secretly attracted by the royal family and became the eagle-clawed lackey of the Wu family.
This time, the interception and killing of the Wang family caravan was actually a secret instructed by Wu Badao.
In the first place, the three guest elders of Sun Heng, Zhao Ze, Wu Tian, and the Wang family can be eliminated and the strength of the Wang family can be weakened.
Secondly, he can also hijack Wang Jin, the dynasty's favorite youngest daughter, so that he can be afraid of being a lie and dare not act rashly.
Otherwise, even if he lent Jifeng ten courage, he would not dare to touch the Wang family's things.
The plan that seemed foolproof was unexpectedly defeated because of Li Chen's sudden attack.
Not only did they not kill Sun Heng and others, but they kidnapped Wang Jin, the eldest daughter of the Wang family, but they also wiped out the entire army of Jifengling.
Especially the one-time loss, Ji Lei, Ji Lightning and Ji Yu, three masters in the realm of God Transformation, made Wu Badao feel that his heart was bleeding.
You know, at that time, he spent a lot of money to win over the four brothers of Jifeng.
If it were in the past, the strong wind would definitely not be the Zhuge Fox.
But this time, he completely ruined the matter and ruined the monarch's major affairs. He knew that he was in the wrong and was not easy to argue, so he chose to bow his head and keep silent.
Wu Changwen glanced at his father's face, and saw that there was no obvious anger on his face, so he pleaded:
"The national commander calmed down. It was not what General Jifeng wanted to do to make things so troubled. It was really because the old fox of the dynasty was too cunning. General Jifeng was also careless for a moment, which made the situation out of control!"
Wu Badao's expression was free from joy and worry, and he could not see any emotional fluctuations.
After Zhuge Hu and Wu Changwen finished their statements, he spoke in a thick voice:
"Jifeng, how much do you know about that Li Chen?"
Hearing Wu Badao’s question, Jifeng paused for a long time, then shook his head and said, “I know nothing!”
After hearing this, Wu Badao, Wu Changwen, and Zhuge Hu didn't say a word.
Jifeng's answer was all within their expectations.
Let me ask, even those who control the national intelligence network do not know Li Chen’s background. What’s more, is he a reckless man like Jifeng?
Wu Badao did not blame Jifeng, but looked at Zhuge Hu with inquiring eyes.
Zhuge Hu is not only the chief national teacher, but also controls Luowang, the largest intelligence organization in the country.
He did not detect such important information in advance, and his crime was beyond forgiveness.
If Jifeng is really responsible for the crime of failing this ambush, Jifeng, the person involved, is ranked first, then Zhuge Hu will definitely be the second.
Zhuge Hu gently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replied, "King Wu, according to reliable information, the young man named Li Chen is not from the Wang family, he just happened to pass by!"
"And, according to our inside report, the dynasty once promised to win over Li Chen as a heaven-level guest minister, but Li Chen refused, just asking the Wang family to help him find someone!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Badao was startled and couldn't wait to ask: "Who are you looking for?"
Zhuge Hu replied: "A woman named Xie Wanwan, the specific situation is still under investigation."
Wu Badao at this time, when he saw Wu Changwen looking like he was about to speak but stopped, he asked in a low voice: "My son, do you have something to say?"
Wu Changwen bowed and said, "Father, Du Xiang, a junior sister of Erchen in the Imperial Academy, once mentioned Li Chen's name to Erchen!"
Wu Badao was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly asked, "Oh, why did you mention it?"
Wu Changwen briefly sorted out his thoughts and said, "This young man from Li Chen once passed by Jinguan City and killed Geng Ba's first wife Du Lan, and only Du Xiang's sister of Erchen. She begged Erchen to kill Li Chen and help her sister avenge her!"
When Wu Changwen heard what he said, Wu Badao felt that the older he was, the more interesting it became.
Then, he turned his eyes to Zhuge Hu and said, "National Master, use the power of the net to search the whereabouts of this woman named Xie Wanwan. You must find her before the Wang family finds her. Do you understand?"
Zhuge Hu bowed and replied: "Don't worry, King Wu, this matter is covered by me!"
Wu Badao nodded with satisfaction, and then he turned his gaze to Jifeng.
"General Qifeng, thank you for your hard work. Recently, it is not advisable to show up again for the time being. It is better to find a safe place first and heal your wounds with peace of mind!"
Jifeng also bowed to Wu Badao and said, "Thank you for your concern!"
Wu Badao waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's stop here today, closely monitor the movements of the Wang family. Whenever there is any news, report it immediately!"
After everyone left one after another, Wu Changwen returned to his mansion.
In his room, there was a gorgeous woman who had been waiting here for a long time.
This person is Duran’s sister Du Xiang!
When Du Xiang saw Wu Changwen coming back, she immediately went up to meet him.
"Nine Prince, you are back, how are you doing?"
Wu Changwen replied lightly: "Everything is fine!"
Du Xiang is a smart woman. Seeing that Wu Changwen was reluctant to talk too much, she did not continue to ask questions.
"Ninth Prince, you have been working hard for a day, I'll change your clothes for you!"
Wu Changwen did not refuse. Du Xiang had already become his woman, and doing these things has long been commonplace.
After changing his clothes, he picked up Du Xiang as before, put it on the bed, applauding love.
After applauding, Du Xiang snuggled in Wu Changwen's arms and asked, "Nine Prince, when are you planning to marry me?"
When Wu Changwen heard Du Xiang mention this issue again, he couldn't help but laugh coldly in his heart.
In fact, his favorite person is Wang Jin, the eldest daughter of the Wang family.
Even when he was applauding for love, he kept silently chanting Wang Jin's name in his heart.
