The best ring

"Second prince?" Shao Haogang frowned, carefully recalling his knowledge of the second prince Zhao Ke, and said, "He doesn't look like such a person."

Shao Haogang comes from a famous family and has been working in Yanyang City all year round. Therefore, he belongs to the upper class in Yanyang City. The people he comes into contact with are either rich or noble. Even those princes, he has come into contact with them.

In Shao Haogang's perception, the second prince Zhao Ke did not seem like someone who could do such a thing.

But as the saying goes, people are separated from each other. Although Shao Haogang felt that it was impossible for Zhao Ke to do this, he couldn't guarantee it.

"The second prince is the most suspicious. It's still unclear who poisoned him." Wu Fan said, "When we go back, this matter must be investigated clearly."

"Yeah." Shao Haogang nodded heavily.

"By the way, I didn't tell the princess about this. She doesn't know that His Majesty was poisoned, so don't let it slip." Wu Fan warned.

Zhao Qi was already very sad when the old emperor died. If she knew that her father was poisoned to death, she would probably be even more heartbroken. Therefore, Wu Fan planned to wait for Zhao Qi's mood to stabilize, and then Talk to her about it.

"I understand." Shao Haogang nodded and said, he also agreed with Wu Fan's concerns.

"One more thing." Wu Fan said: "There is a possibility that I will not accompany you back. The princess's safety will be left to you along the way."

Wu Fan has already received a request for help from the Blackwater Kingdom, and he needs to deal with the matters there. With the fixed-point teleportation talisman around, he doesn't need to spend too much time on the road, so he doesn't plan to accompany him. Zhao Qi goes back.

Wu Fan was actually not too worried about Zhao Qi's safety.

First of all, with the protection of people sent by Shao Haogang and Jin Zheyun, the security force around Zhao Qi is not bad.

Secondly, the reason why Zhao Qi was frequently attacked before was because she was a representative figure of marriage. Many people did not want to see the marriage between Yanfeng Kingdom and Shuiyue Kingdom, so naturally many people wanted to assassinate her. .

But now, the engagement between Zhao Qi and Jin Bingli is about to be cancelled. Zhao Qi's existence will not pose a threat to anyone, so naturally no one will assassinate her.

Also, even if Wu Fan leaves, he will send flying pets to follow Zhao Qi. If anything unexpected happens to Zhao Qi, he will know it as soon as possible.

However, Shao Haogang was obviously surprised when he heard what Wu Fan said: "Aren't you going back to Yanyang City?"

"I will definitely go to Yanyang City." Wu Fan said, "It's just that before I go, I have other things to do."

Shao Haogang nodded, Wu Fan came here halfway, and now he has other things to do, which makes sense. Speaking of which, he actually doesn't know much about Wu Fan. He doesn't even know where Wu Fan is from.

"However, you have to tell the princess in person about this." Shao Haogang said.

Shao Haogang knew that Zhao Qi was definitely reluctant to let Wu Fan leave, especially at this time. Therefore, it was best for Wu Fan to talk about this matter.

"Well, I will tell her." Wu Fan said.

After that, Shao Haogang also went to pack his things, while Wu Fan left the temporary residence.

Before leaving Tianji Kingdom, he still had some things to do.

Although Wu Fan is not from the Yanfeng Kingdom, his position is with the Yanfeng Kingdom, and Tianji Kingdom is Yanfeng Kingdom's opponent. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Fan will naturally do something.

On the other side, Du Dezhong has sent people to investigate most of the Xie family's connections in the military. In a short period of time, it is not easy to dig out everyone in the Xie family. Most of them have been found. Very good.

Now that the person has been found, it’s time to take action.

Jin Zheyun wanted to remove the influence of the Xie family, but it was difficult for him to take action on the surface. After all, the Xie family had a great influence in the Tianji Kingdom, especially in the Tianji Kingdom’s army. If there was no justifiable reason, he would move against the Xie family. People who belong to the family will inevitably encounter opposition and even backlash.

Originally, Jin Zheyun could plan and plan slowly. He was not as old as the old emperor of Yanfeng Kingdom and had plenty of time, so he could take his time.

But what happened recently made Jin Zheyun unable to wait any longer and continue to plot slowly. The Xie family actually cooperated with people from the Shuiyue Kingdom. Coupled with the affairs of Princess Xi and the prince, Jin Zheyun had trouble sleeping and eating. Therefore, he must solve the Xie family's problem as soon as possible.

Time was tight and the tasks were heavy, but we couldn't do it openly, so we had to choose a shady method.

At this moment, Du Dezhong has summoned his elite men to prepare to complete what Jin Zheyun told him.

"I have already said what needs to be said, everyone should be careful when taking action." Du Dezhong said.

In fact, Du Dezhong was a little surprised by Jin Zheyun's arrangement.

It is not that there are no people like Hou Zhong in Tianji Kingdom, but Jin Zheyun entrusted this matter to him, which was really beyond his expectation.

However, from another perspective, Jin Zheyun's ability to hand over such an important and confidential matter to him also shows his trust and respect for him. No matter what purpose Jin Zheyun had for asking him to do this, He must do this well.

"Yes, General!" Du Dezhong's men responded one after another.

This kind of thing is also relatively unfamiliar to them, but since there is an order from above, they naturally have to execute it unconditionally.

Subsequently, the people in Dude were sent out.

It's just that Du Dezhong and Jin Zheyun didn't know that because of Wu Fan's secret report, the Xie family had already prepared, and they even knew a lot about Du Dezhong's actions.

Therefore, when Du Dezhong's people went to assassinate the generals of the Xie family, their actions were not smooth, and even many people were killed by the other party before they had time to act.

This matter was soon heard by both parties. The people of the Xie family were angry, while Du Dezhong was very surprised and even panicked.

The people of the Xie family had doubts about Jin Zheyun's action against them. Although they made some preparations, they did not rebel. However, they did not expect that someone would come to assassinate their generals of the Xie family, and these assassins were actually people in the army.

This made the Xie family very angry.

In their view, this was a signal for Jin Zheyun to act against their Xie family. Jin Zheyun was obviously preparing to eliminate the wings of their Xie family first, and then act against their Xie family. At that time, their Xie family would be meat on the chopping board, allowing Jin Zheyun to knead it.

This was obviously unacceptable to the Xie family.

So, the Xie family gathered together again to discuss countermeasures.

While the Xie family was discussing countermeasures angrily, Du Dezhong entered the palace in a panic.
