The best ring

After Shao Haogang and the others left, Xiaoqing came outside the room and said to Zhao Qi: "Princess, I'll go back and rest first."

"Yes." Zhao Qi responded.

Xiaoqing looked at Zhao Qi's room and then turned to leave.

Zhao Qi sat back at the table after hearing that there was no movement outside.

"I don't know what Shao Hao just said to that Du guy." Zhao Qi said to herself: "But it's good to send Du away."

No one else heard the conversation between Shao Haogang and Du Dezhong except the two of them. However, Zhao Qi was not too interested. As long as Du Dezhong didn't continue to pester him and Wu Fan's secret was not exposed, that was enough.

After that, Zhao Qi lay on the table, waiting for Wu Fan to come back. As a result, she fell asleep in a daze not long after.

On the other side, after Shao Haogang returned to his room, he simply treated his wound.

His injuries had not healed to begin with. The fight with Yuan Long just now not only affected his old injuries, but also caused a lot of new injuries. Fortunately, the fight between the two was not long, so Shao Haogang's injuries were not too serious.

"Alas, Master Wu and Her Royal Highness the Princess, what a pity." Shao Haogang said to himself while treating his injuries.

Shao Haogang took the initiative to come out to help because he found that Zhao Qi did not seem to want to open the door, and Wu Fan had not shown up after the thief came in, so Shao Haogang guessed that Wu Fan was in Zhao Qi's room, but at this time, he might not be suitable to see outsiders.

Along the way, especially before entering the territory of Tianji Country, Shao Haogang saw some eye contact and some small movements between Wu Fan and Zhao Qi. He was not a fool, so he naturally saw that the relationship between Wu Fan and Zhao Qi was different, especially Zhao Qi, who looked at Wu Fan with eyes that were sometimes not concealed at all, so in Shao Haogang's heart, Wu Fan and Zhao Qi had some kind of close relationship.

Now, Wu Fan was in Zhao Qi's room, but he didn't come out to see anyone. Shao Haogang couldn't help but think too much. He didn't know that Zhao Qi had just returned from Xiaoqing's room. He just thought that Zhao Qi and Wu Fan had been in the room all the time.

It was precisely because of this speculation that he took the initiative to rescue. He didn't want Du Dezhong to know about Wu Fan and Zhao Qi's affairs. After all, Zhao Qi was nominally the concubine of the second prince of Tianji Kingdom. If she was found to be with another man, then Tianji Kingdom would definitely feel embarrassed. At that time, not only would the second prince of Tianji Kingdom be angry, but even the emperor of Tianji Kingdom would be furious.

However, it was also because of the responsibilities Zhao Qi shouldered that Shao Haogang felt that she could not be together with Wu Fan. In his heart, Shao Haogang sighed for this. He felt that Wu Fan and Zhao Qi were very compatible. Although Wu Fan was only a viscount, his ability was definitely not weak, and the two were in love.

It's a pity that God is playing tricks on people.

Shao Haogang could only sigh about this matter and could not help much.

On the other side, Du Dezhong, who returned to the front yard, called his few subordinates and ordered: "Before, did you see Wu Fan go out?"

Everyone shook their heads.

This made Du Dezhong frown slightly.

In theory, they lived in the front yard, and Wu Fan and his men were in the backyard. If Wu Fan wanted to go out, he would definitely be discovered by the Tianlang Army soldiers, but no one saw Wu Fan leave.

However, thinking of the skills Wu Fan had shown before, Du Dezhong was relieved. With Wu Fan's skills, it was not difficult for him to avoid his group of subordinates.

Thinking of this, Du Dezhong said: "Starting tomorrow, they must strengthen their vigilance, whether it is day or night, not only to keep an eye on the outside, but also to keep an eye on the people of Yanfeng Country, especially Wu Fan!"

Du Dezhong was very afraid of Wu Fan's means of gathering intelligence. He even suspected that the emperor of Yanfeng Country asked Wu Fan to be responsible for this escort. In fact, he wanted Wu Fan to be a spy openly to gather intelligence from their Tianji Country. This is very likely!

So, even if he recognized Wu Fan's strength in his heart, from the perspective of his own country, Du Dezhong had to guard against Wu Fan. He couldn't let Wu Fan gather important intelligence from their country.

"Yes, General!"

Du Dezhong nodded, and after letting his soldiers go down, he lay back on the bed, thinking about the attack in the backyard before.

The other party was able to avoid the sight of his men and enter the backyard, which shows that the other party is very strong. Moreover, after the other party came, he went straight to the backyard and basically did not stay in the front yard. This shows that the other party is very clear about the arrangement of the other party here, and is very familiar with this yard.

In addition, the familiar back figure that Du Dezhong saw made Du Dezhong's mind full of doubts.

"Who is that person?"

Du Dezhong only felt that the name was on his lips, but he couldn't say it for a while, which made him quite irritated.

And the other party did not succeed this time, and it is hard to say whether he will do it again.

"If you dare to come again, I will never let you get away!" Du Dezhong said to himself.

When Du Dezhong was thinking about what happened in the evening, Yuan Long, who had returned in defeat, had returned to his mansion. He locked himself in the study again and did not let anyone enter.

He didn't want to let others know what happened tonight, otherwise he would be in big trouble. Not to mention the punishment from the emperor, Du Dezhong would not let him go. After all, if something happened to Zhao Qi, as a Du Dezhong, who is welcoming the bride, will inevitably be implicated. Yuan Long wants to assassinate Zhao Qi, which means he is making an enemy of Du Dezhong.

"Damn it! Damn it!" Yuan Long muttered to himself with a ferocious face as he treated the injury: "Why is this happening? The general of the Yanfeng Kingdom is actually very skilled. Why is Du Dezhong not drunk?"

Yuan Long's action this time was a complete failure. He didn't even see the face of the princess from the Yanfeng Kingdom, but he was beaten and returned seriously injured. All this was terrible for him. Thoroughly.

Moreover, he still doesn't know if Du Dezhong has recognized him. If Du Dezhong recognizes him, then he will be in trouble soon.

At this moment, Yuan Long regretted that he was so confident that he didn't even wear night clothes. If he had worn night clothes, at least there would be no risk of exposure.

Thinking of this, Yuan Long put on his clothes and called his servants.

"If Du Dezhong brings someone to see me, stop him!" Yuan Long ordered.

"Yes, sir."

After making arrangements, Yuan Long dragged his injured body back to his room to rest.
