The man in black clenched his fists: "Yes, General Lu, we are not from Yuan, we are from Ning."
Lu Zhaofeng had only guessed before, but he didn't expect them to admit it so openly.
By then, he won't be able to handle it.
He paused for two seconds, stunned: "Ningguo?"
Ningguo was their Yuan Kingdom's greatest enemy.
Neither of these two men's skills nor their demeanor resembled those of ordinary wandering knights.
"Yes, we are the comfort of Ning Kingdom." The man in black made no attempt to hide it: "The Prince of Ning is cruel. In order to control talented people to help him accomplish his great cause, he is obsessed with crooked and evil arts and uses Gu worms to control others to do things for him."
"What?" Lu Zhaofeng's breath hitched.
So that's how Ningguo has expanded so rapidly over the years.
How can such a person be worthy of unifying the world?
They actually did such a despicable thing.
Even if those masters temporarily submit to him, how can he possibly win the hearts of the people?
Prince Ning was simply digging his own grave.
"We are willing to follow the Seventh Princess to the death. Please grant us permission, Your Highness." After saying this, the two men in black kowtowed deeply.
Mother, please take them in.
Don't worry, I'm here. They won't dare do anything to you.
Moreover, he is far more capable than the palace guards.
Even my uncle isn't as skilled in martial arts as them.
Lu Zhaofeng: ? ? ?
"No way!" Lu Zhaofeng said firmly, "These two might be spies from an enemy country. Who knows if they're telling the truth or not? Maybe those assassins were part of their plan, and they were just putting on an act."
Consort Shu frowned, feeling that Lu Zhaofeng's words made sense.
[Hahaha!]
My uncle broke.
Although my uncle's martial arts skills might be slightly inferior to theirs, he's handsome.
With my uncle's looks—sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, fresh and handsome appearance, dashing and debonair, elegant and refined, with a commanding presence and dignified bearing—he's comparable to Xu Gong of the north of the city, and could easily outshine the entire Yuan Kingdom.
Consort Shu: ...
This flattery is practically backfiring!
He's not actually that handsome!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have found a wife by now.
Lu Zhaofeng's expression softened a bit upon hearing his words: "If you want to protect the Seventh Princess and become palace guards, we need to report this to the Emperor first. Since you have rendered meritorious service in saving the Emperor today, come back to the General's Mansion with me first, and I will report today's events to the Emperor before making a decision."
"Yes." A resolute look appeared in the man's eyes.
Those who practice martial arts value virtue above all else; the four words "to repay kindness" are ingrained in their very bones.
Uncle, you have to take good care of these two kids for me, don't let them get spoiled.
Also, take all the snakes on the ground back with you.
[Let my great Kunpeng have a taste of meat.]
He certainly wouldn't dare to cook something so delicious himself.
Consort Shu: ? ? ?
She left first.
She didn't want to sit in a carriage with those snakes.
Lu Zhaofeng: ...
I'm sure I didn't take it back to poison it.
These are all venomous snakes!
snake:? ? ?
Damn it!
You might as well have just killed me!
Lu Zhaofeng personally escorted Consort Shu to the palace gate. Consort Shu got off the carriage and pulled Lu Zhaofeng aside.
"When you report to the Emperor later, just say that there was a problem with the carriage on the way. Don't make a fuss about the assassination attempt yet," Consort Shu said, deliberately lowering her voice.
"Why is that?" Lu Zhaofeng asked, puzzled. "We've caught the person. As long as we get the results from the interrogation, we'll definitely find out who's behind it all. Sister, you have to believe me. I'll definitely get the results!"
