The waste prince is so fierce

Although Li Quan didn't believe what He Xun said at all, he didn't show it on his face.

He smiled faintly and said, "Since the head of the He family has made the decision, then I naturally have nothing to say. However, whether the marriage between the He family and the Wang family can really bring the expected turnaround to the He family, it will take time to prove."

When He Xun heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.

He laughed and said, "Your Highness Prince Qi is right, but our He family is also forced to take this step. After all, the current situation is indeed very unfavorable for our He family."

Li Quan nodded and said nothing more.

He knew very well that there must be deeper considerations behind the marriage between the He family and the Wang family.

He still needs to further verify whether this involves King Ping's assassins.

After staying at the He family for a while, Li Quan and Zeng Wenjing got up and said goodbye.

On the way back to the palace, Li Quan remained silent, as if thinking about something.

"Your Highness, do you think that the He family's marriage is really related to Prince Ping's assassins?"

Zeng Wenjing finally couldn't help but break the silence.

Li Quan came back to his senses, glanced at Zeng Wenjing, and said, "We can't be sure yet, but the He family's actions are indeed suspicious. We need to continue to investigate in depth to uncover the truth."

After returning to the palace, Li Quan immediately summoned a group of elite guards and ordered them to secretly monitor the movements of the He and Wang families and find out the whereabouts of Prince Ping's assassins as soon as possible.

In the next few days, Li Quan was busy dealing with the affairs of Pearl Soap and closely following the progress of the marriage between the He family and the Wang family.

However, the development of things was beyond his expectation.

On the night before the marriage, the He family suddenly announced the cancellation of the marriage because Miss He suddenly became seriously ill and could not get married.

This news caused a huge uproar in Wuling County.

For a moment, everyone had different opinions.

When Li Quan heard the news, his brows furrowed.

He knew that there must be something fishy going on.

He immediately ordered his guards to intensify surveillance of the He family and make sure to get to the bottom of the truth.

However, at this moment, King Ping's assassins suddenly appeared.

Li Quan was reading in his study one day when he suddenly heard a loud fight outside.

"who!?"

Li Quan immediately became alert, put down the book in his hand, and quickly walked out of the study. He saw a group of men in black fighting fiercely with his guards. The men in black were swift and fierce, and they were obviously well-trained.

"Protect His Highness!"

The captain of the guards shouted loudly, directing the other guards to protect Li Quan behind them.

Li Quan stared at the men in black with a stern look, trying to find some clues from their moves.

These men in black are very skilled and are definitely not ordinary thieves or vagrants.

It is very likely that these are the death squads sent by King Ping to Wuwei County this time.

"Were you sent by King Ping?"

Li Quan suddenly asked, his voice cold and firm.

The man in black was slightly stunned, as if he did not expect Li Quan to ask this question so directly.

But he did not answer, but attacked the guards more frantically, trying to break through.

Li Quan sneered when he saw this:

"Since you are silent, I will take it as your acquiescence. King Ping really thinks highly of me, and actually sent so many experts to assassinate me."

Upon hearing this, the men in black attacked more fiercely, but they were still unable to break through the guards' defense.

Li Quan's guards were all carefully selected masters. They worked closely together to trap the man in black.

"Your Highness, how do we deal with these assassins?"

The captain of the guards came to Li Quan and asked in a low voice.

"Leave a few alive. I want to interrogate them personally."

Li Quan said coldly.

After a fierce fight, the man in black was finally subdued.

Li Quan ordered people to take them to the study and prepared to interrogate them personally.

"Tell me, what is the purpose of King Ping sending you to assassinate me?"

Li Quan sat at the desk.

Looking coldly at the man in black who was tied to the chair.

The man in black kept his lips tightly shut and said nothing.

Seeing this, Li Quan was not in a hurry.

He took a sip of tea slowly, then said:

"I know that you are assassins sent by King Ping, and your mission is to assassinate me. But have you ever thought about how your family will be implicated if the assassination fails?"

When the man in black heard this, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

Although they are martyrs, they still care about their families.

After all, that was how King Ping controlled them.

This is their weak point and also the breakthrough point that Li Quan can exploit.

"As long as you tell me King Ping's plan, I can guarantee the safety of your family."

Li Quan continued: "Otherwise, I will not only make your life worse than death, but also bury your family members with you."

The men in black remained silent, but their eyes began to waver.

Li Quan knew that he was halfway to success.

He was not in a hurry to force them to answer immediately, but waited quietly.

After a long time, one of the men in black finally spoke:

"King Ping sent us to assassinate you in order to weaken your power in Wuwei County. He hopes that you will die here so that he can take control of Wuwei County."

Li Quan heard this and smiled slightly:

"As expected. King Ping has a good plan. However, he underestimated me by sending so many of you to assassinate me."

The man in black lowered his head and said nothing more.

They have already leaked King Ping's plan, and now they can only hope that Li Quan is really capable of protecting their families from King Ping.

"Okay, take them down."

Li Quan waved his hand, and the guards escorted the man in black out of the study.

He sat at his desk, deep in thought.

He had long seen through King Ping's ambition, but he did not expect that the other party would send someone to assassinate him so blatantly.

However, this also made him more determined to eradicate King Ping.

Li Quan took a deep breath, stood up and walked to the window.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, I already have a plan in mind.

In the next few days, Li Quan began to make secret deployments.

On the one hand, he strengthened the security of the palace, and on the other hand, he sent people to secretly contact whoever they could contact to expose King Ping's ambitions. At the same time, he contacted troops in other places in case of emergency.

He knew that Prince Ping's power in the court was deeply rooted and it would not be easy to eradicate it in one fell swoop.

Therefore, he must be fully prepared to ensure that his attack hits the target.

During this period, Li Quan was not idle. He began to deal with the affairs of Wuwei County, strengthen people's livelihood construction, improve the training level of the army, and make full preparations for the coming storm.

Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Quan's deployment has been basically completed, and he is just waiting for a suitable opportunity to deal a fatal blow to King Ping.

King Ping seemed to have noticed something and began to take action.
