The waste prince is so fierce

However, at this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the darkness and went straight for Li Quan's throat!

Li Quan reacted very quickly and turned his head to avoid the fatal blow.

But when he turned around, he found that the shadow had disappeared into the darkness...

He cried out in his heart:

"not good!"

Then he immediately waved his sword and chased in the direction where the black shadow disappeared.

He knew that the shadowy figure was the leader of the group of men in black. If he could catch him, he could force him to tell the mastermind behind the scenes! So he sped up and chased in that direction...

However, when he chased to the back garden, he suddenly lost the trace of the black shadow... He looked around but found nothing unusual.

"Has he escaped?"

Li Quan thought to himself, but when he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly found a dark shadow flashing out from behind the rockery and heading straight for his back!

"It's really here!"

Li Quan cursed in his heart, then quickly turned around and stabbed the black shadow in the chest with a sword.

There was a muffled sound of "Puff!" and the black shadow fell to the ground...

Li Quan walked forward and saw that the black shadow was not the leader but an ordinary man in black.

"Damn it! He got away!"

Li Quan cursed inwardly and turned to walk towards the study. He knew that since the leader had escaped, he would definitely not come back.

Moreover, he had already exposed his identity and whereabouts. The next thing to do was to strengthen the defense of the mansion just in case...

After returning to the study, Li Quan immediately summoned all his confidants and guards to discuss countermeasures.

These people all followed Li Quan from Wuwei County to the capital.

"Everyone has seen what happened tonight. These men in black are clearly well prepared and highly skilled in martial arts. We must strengthen our defense to prevent them from attacking again!"

Li Quan glanced at everyone and said, "From now on, the patrol team in the palace will be tripled! And they will change shifts every hour! Also, send some people to secretly investigate the identities and backgrounds of these men in black! I want to know who sent them!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison and then turned around and left to carry out the order.

Li Quan stayed alone in the study room and continued to think about the next countermeasures. "It seems that this matter is not simple..."

He muttered to himself, "Do these people think I have ambitions for the throne?"

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

These people would do anything for that position.

Although I am much stronger than before.

"No! I have to go to the palace immediately to see my father and report this to him!"

After saying this, he stood up and walked towards the door, preparing to go into the palace to meet the emperor.

What is the safest thing in this era?

Obviously, rights are the safest.

How are rights formed?

The more people support you, the more power you will naturally have.

To put it simply, the more followers you have, the more authority you will have.

But Li Quan is still in the development stage.

The best way is to stay hidden.

Li Quan walked out of the study, it was already late at night.

The stars in the sky reflected on the glazed tiles of the palace, flickering a faint light.

He took a deep breath of the cool night air, but his heart couldn't calm down.

Attack of the Men in Black.

He realized that the situation in the capital was far more complicated than he had imagined.

On the way to the palace, Li Quan's mind kept replaying the events of the night.

The skills, moves and the speed at which those men in black disappeared all showed that they were no ordinary people.

Who on earth would attack him at this time?

After thinking for a long time, he realized that there was only one person in the entire capital who could possibly do such a heavy-handed thing to him.

King Ping Li Duan!

Before he knew it, he had arrived at the gate of the palace.

The guard at the gate saw that it was Li Quan.

He quickly bowed and let him go.

Li Quan hurriedly walked through the corridor and headed straight for Emperor Kang's bedroom.

At this moment, Emperor Kang was sitting on the dragon couch, playing with a string of jade beads in his hands, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something important.

He was not surprised to see Li Quan visiting him late at night.

He just waved his hand and asked the servants to leave.

"Father, I have something important to report."

Li Quan knelt down in front of Emperor Kang and said solemnly.

Kangdi motioned him to stand up, then slowly asked: "Quan'er, it's so late, what's the matter that makes you so flustered?"

Li Quan stood up and told Kangdi everything that happened tonight, including the details of the black-clad men's attack, their skills, and the speed at which they disappeared.

After hearing this, Kangdi frowned even more tightly.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Quan'er, these men in black are obviously not ordinary people from the underworld. Their skills and moves show that they have received professional training."

"Moreover, they can come and go freely in your mansion, and obviously know your mansion very well. This matter is definitely not simple."

Li Quan nodded in agreement: "Emperor Kang is right. I suspect these men in black are related to certain forces in the court. They may want to take this opportunity to create chaos and then seek personal gain."

"Well, your analysis makes sense."

Kangdi nodded, "This matter must be thoroughly investigated. I will send spies to secretly investigate the identities and backgrounds of these men in black. At the same time, you must also strengthen the defense of the mansion to ensure the safety of yourself and your family."

"Yes, Father."

Li Quan bowed and replied, "I will be careful to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

After Emperor Kang gave a few more instructions, he let Li Quan leave.

When Li Quan walked out of the palace gate, the night had become darker.

He looked up at the starry sky and made a secret vow in his heart: When I stand up, you all have to stand in the corner as punishment!

In the following days, Li Quan strengthened the defense of the mansion and increased the number of patrol teams and secret sentries.

At the same time, he also sent a group of capable men to secretly investigate the identities and backgrounds of these men in black.

However, the results of the investigation left him even more confused.

These men in black do not seem to belong to any known martial arts sect or sphere of influence.

Although their skills and moves are strange and powerful, there is no clue to trace their origin.

This made Li Quan feel very frustrated and helpless.

However, he didn't give up.

He knew that there must be a bigger conspiracy and secret behind this matter.

So he decided to look for clues himself.

He changed into casual clothes, quietly left the palace, and began to search for the men in black in the streets and alleys of the capital.

After several days of searching and investigating, Li Quan finally found some valuable clues.

He discovered that these men in black would scout the area and observe the target's situation before attacking, and that their method of communication with each other was also very secretive and special.
