Chapter 498 Awakening (Third Shift)

The three of them left the Secret Guard Mansion and soon came to a dark ruin.

In addition to this huge ruin, the nearby mansion was also implicated.

Half of the two mansions were burned, and innocent people were implicated.

Under Chu Li's Dayuan mirror, there was almost nothing left in the dark ruins, only some burnt iron objects and the like.

"What's there to see here?" Dong Qifei looked at the dark ruins, feeling that he had nowhere to start.

Chu Li said: "Dong Qifei, go and check Yuanwailang's friends."

"To investigate them?" Dong Qifei was taken aback.

Yang Zongwen said: "Captain, this is a hornet's nest!... This Zhou Yuanwailang is very popular, and his friends are all over the government and the public. If you really want to investigate, I don't know how many people you need to investigate. It's better to be cautious."

Chu Li glanced at him.

Dong Qifei hurriedly said, "I'll check."

Chu Li said: "Let's see who his best friend is, or which ones."

"Yes." Dong Qifei said hastily.

Yang Zongwen hesitated and said, "This..."

Chu Li waved his hand: "Go!"

"Yes!" Dong Qifei said loudly, and walked out.

Yang Zongwen followed him for a few steps, tugged at his sleeve, and said helplessly, "The captain is also a very smart person. No one in the Secret Guard Mansion mentioned this about how he did such a thing. They all pretended to be confused, but the captain dared to poke him." This hornet's nest!"

"Forget it." Dong Qifei laughed and said, "I think this is quite appetizing, so I should check them out!"

"Anyway, it's better to be careful." Yang Zongwen frowned and said, "Be careful, don't show your feet, don't let people find out!"

"Of course I will investigate secretly!" Dong Qifei said.

Yang Zongwen said: "This is the best!"

"I know." Dong Qifei waved his hand and strode away.

King Jing and Princess Lu walked back and forth anxiously in the back garden with gloomy faces.

King Jing didn't say a word, just paced with his hands behind his back.

Princess Lu pursed her red lips tightly, her eyes were already red and swollen.

"My lord, blame me." Lu Wangfei sighed quietly: "Xiaofeng is gone, I don't want to live anymore!"

"Princess!" King Jing lowered his face, "Don't make any more trouble, okay?"

"I shouldn't have let Xiaofeng go to Ren Guogong's mansion!" Princess Lu gritted her teeth.

King Jing snorted, "Don't blame Yurong, she's not to blame for this."

"If Yurong didn't take good care of Xiaofeng, what would have happened!" Concubine Lu shook her head and said, "Don't excuse her."

She also knew that she could not blame her niece for this matter, but she was afraid that King Jing would blame Lu Yurong.

"The Holy Sect of Guangming wants to assassinate Xiaofeng," King Jing said coldly, "Even if we stay in the palace, we can't hide!"

"Why did they do this!" Concubine Lu said puzzledly, "Why did they deal with Xiaofeng!"

King Jing said: "Who knows, they Guangming Shengjiao are a bunch of lunatics!"

He never thought that the Guangming Sacred Church would dare to do such a thing. After all, this is the emperor's son. When the emperor was furious, he would definitely...

He thought of this and sighed.

Daji is far less powerful than Dali. Even if the emperor's son is killed, the emperor can't go to Dali territory to destroy the Holy Cult of Light in a fit of anger.

But the disciples of the Guangming Sacred Cult hide it so well that they can hardly be found!

Princess Lu said: "Do you think Yurong can save Xiaofeng?"

"It's too late." King Jing sighed.

He originally wanted to go to the Forbidden Palace to beg the emperor, but when he hesitated for a while, he was already taken away by Lu Yurong, so he could only wait and see.

He believed in Lu Yurong, since she was so sure, maybe there was a way to save Xiaofeng.

A son is important, but once he enters the palace to beg the emperor, it means losing the throne.

If there is no accident, this is his own throne, and this emperor is determined.

If he forcibly throws it away, the fate that he could decide for himself has to be manipulated by others. He is really unwilling. At that time, let alone his son, even the lives of his own family will not be in the hands of himself!

"Mother, father!" Leng Feng's voice suddenly sounded.

The two hurriedly turned their heads to look.

Lu Yurong had dragged him into the back garden.

"Xiaofeng!" Princess Lu was overjoyed.

Leng Feng threw himself into Lu Wangfei's arms, saw her crying, and tried to comfort her.

King Jing took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, came to Lu Yurong, and said in a deep voice, "Yu Rong, you have worked hard!"

Lu Yurong suppressed the feeling of weakness and smiled a little: "My cousin is fine at last!"

King Jing said: "Whose handwriting?"

He looked calm and tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart.

Lu Yurong sighed, "Chu Li."

"He—?" King Jing said in surprise, "Does he have such abilities?"

Lu Yurong shook her head and said, "This time I owe you a lot of favors. To save my cousin, he almost put himself in it!"

"I will remember this favor!" King Jing nodded slowly.

Rescuing the dead is by no means an easy task, and it is also extremely dangerous. Even the emperor would have to take great risks to save people, let alone Chu Li.

Lu Yurong said: "This matter cannot be known by outsiders, he can no longer save others, otherwise he will die directly."

"Hmm." King Jing said in a deep voice.

Lu Yurong suddenly softened and staggered.

King Jing hurriedly stretched out his hand to help: "Yu Rong, is it alright?"

Lu Yurong shook her head and sat down at the stone table: "I ran here from the Duke's mansion in one breath. Fortunately, my cousin was rescued, otherwise I would have no face to see you, aunt and uncle."

"That's his fate too." King Jing shook his head and said, "In the end it's because his martial arts are too weak!"

His face darkened, and he became more and more dissatisfied with Leng Feng.

Hu father and dog son, my son is ambitious, but he has great ambitions and few talents. His martial arts are not weak among his peers, but he has not reached the level of heaven and earth, otherwise he would not be so easy to be assassinated!

Concubine Lu has wiped away her tears and regained her dignity.

She curled up to Lu Yurong and took Lu Yurong's jade hand: "Oh..., Yurong, I'm so sorry for you!"

Lu Yurong smiled and said, "It's good that my cousin is fine, Auntie, do you still dare to let my cousin into my house?"

"It's natural." Princess Lu said.

She also figured it out, if it wasn't for Lu Yurong's house this time, if she was somewhere else, she might not survive.

Leng Feng said: "Cousin, I'm going to the frontier army!"

His words surprised King Jing and Princess Lu.

"Going to the frontier army again?" Concubine Lu hurriedly said, "Don't you want to go?"

"Mother, I died once this time, and I suddenly understood that death is not terrible at all." Leng Feng said: "I want to be strong, and it is best to go to the border. Under the pressure of life and death, martial arts improve faster!"

"It's not bad that you have this idea." King Jing pondered, "But the frontier army is too dangerous. Recently, Dali is about to move, and I'm afraid it will go south."

"That's just right, if you make contributions, you might be able to be like Uncle Ping." Leng Feng said.

King Jing snorted: "Do you think everyone has the ability to beat Uncle Wang like you?"

"I'm going to the frontier army anyway!" Leng Feng said.

King Jing frowned and glanced at Lu Yurong.

Lu Yurong said: "Let's go to the Duke's Mansion, don't you want to compete with Chu Li?"

Leng Feng shook his head and said: "He is also my savior now, what's the point! Ha, if I become a general, why won't he obediently bow his head?"
