"Isn't it ridiculous? My first-rank general is actually a demon!"
Qin Zhentian glanced at the generals.
Half of them fell to their knees with a thud.
Some of them had a good relationship with Xie Wenzhong, and some were promoted by Xie Wenzhong. Now they were all frightened.
They never expected that Xie Wenzhong was actually a demon.
"Your Majesty, I had no idea Xie Wenzhong was actually a demon. I am loyal to Your Majesty and have absolutely no collusion with Xie Wenzhong."
"Your Majesty, I feel the same way."
"His Majesty--"
The kneeling people began to speak.
Qin Zhentian said in a stern tone, "Should I believe you? Some of you were just trying your best to speak up for Xie Wenzhong."
Jiang Gan clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Xie Wenzhong is a demon. He must have concealed this from others. I believe they are unaware of this."
Qin Zhentian's expression eased a little.
"General Jiang, some of them just supported Xie Wenzhong."
Jiang Gan coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, if we were to ask who among us supports Xie Wenzhong the most, there would be no other choice but Your Majesty."
"It was you who made Xie Wenzhong a first-rank general."
Qin Zhentian: “…”
"General Jiang, Xie Wenzhong just blew himself up. Are you okay?"
Qin Zhentian directly changed the subject.
Jiang Gan nodded and said, "Not bad, he only has the cultivation base of the middle stage of Demon Emperor. If he has the cultivation base of the late stage of Demon Emperor, I will die."
Qin Zhentian said: "When you investigated the murderer who cursed and assassinated Yu Li, it was an unexpected gain to discover Xie Wenzhong's identity."
"Go back and recuperate."
"I'm still waiting for you to break through to the Martial Emperor Consummation level."
Jiang Gan smiled bitterly: "Originally, I might be able to break through in about a month, but now that I'm injured, I'm afraid it will take at least two or three months."
"This depends on Yuli's recovery."
Qin Zhentian said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about Yuli. I will use the best elixir to treat her. She will be fine."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jiang Gan said gratefully.
Qin Zhentian waved his hand: "What are you thanking me for? Yuli married into the royal family. She is now the Crown Princess and my daughter-in-law."
Having said this, Qin Zhentian glanced at the dozen or so people kneeling.
"Some of you have a good relationship with Xie Wenzhong, and some of you were promoted by him, but you must be clear about who you are loyal to!"
Qin Zhentian said majestically.
"We swear to be loyal to Your Majesty until death!"
Some of the kneeling people said in unison.
Qin Zhentian said coldly: "I hope to see your performance. Xie Wenzhong is dead, and I don't want to see any chaos."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Everyone said again.
"Please stand up. This matter must be kept secret. My first-rank general is actually a demon. If the news gets out, I cannot afford to lose face."
"If anyone asks, you can tell them secretly that I have sent General Hu Piu to lead people to the ancient secret realm."
Qin Zhentian said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Everyone said in unison.
"Everyone, please leave. I'm tired."
Qin Zhentian waved his hand.
Jiang Gan and the other twenty or so generals left. Some of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the others were still terrified.
Fortunately, Xie Wenzhong was discovered before he did anything bad. If he hadn't been discovered, they might have helped Xie Wenzhong do something.
That might be their death.
…
The Prince's Mansion, the villa where Xiao Fan lives.
"So much imperial luck."
Xiao Fan was extremely excited. A large amount of imperial luck continued to flow into his body. He had never received so much imperial luck before.
"Who is General Hu Piu, or who is Prince Wei?"
Xiao Fan said in his heart.
He estimated that it was most likely General Hu Pius.
General Hu Piu is a first-rank general with extensive connections and deep relationships in the court. It is difficult to deal with him without a good opportunity.
The attack on the Crown Princess is a good opportunity.
Everyone was disheartened by the casual targeting of a first-rank general like General Hu Piu, and it would be even more troublesome if it was discovered that he was not a demon.
People would not have much objection to using the Crown Princess incident to target him, and it would be natural to kill General Hu Pius after discovering that he was a demon.
"I gained a lot of imperial luck with Liu's death, and now I've gained a lot more imperial luck. I need to find a good place to sign in."
Xiao Fan said in his heart.
Although the Prince's Mansion is a nice place, it is still inferior to the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Mausoleum and other places.
Moreover, although his villa also belongs to the Prince's Mansion, it is just a house attached to the Prince's Mansion, so the sign-in effect will be worse.
"By the way, I can go to the Tianlong Pagoda again."
"Shi Gongfeng asked me to come over before."
Xiao Fan said in his heart.
In the evening, Qin Xuan arrived at Xiao Fan's villa.
"Your Highness."
Xiao Fan, Murong Die, Murong Wu and others hurriedly saluted.
Qin Xuan nodded slightly and walked towards the study. Xiao Fan followed behind him. Murong Die and Murong Wu went into the kitchen to cook.
"Xiao Fan, Xie Wenzhong is dead."
"He is a tiger demon."
"General Jiang found a reason to claim that Xie Wenzhong had a special aura, saying he might be the murderer who attacked Yu Li. During the battle, Xie Wenzhong exploded and died."
Qin Xuan spoke.
Xiao Fan nodded: "If we can't find the murderer, it would be a good opportunity to kill Xie Wenzhong."
Qin Xuan said, "My father has issued a gag order, asking those generals not to spread the news, but this news will definitely get out."
It is unlikely that all twenty or so generals are loyal.
Xiao Fan smiled faintly and said, "His Majesty's gag order is simply because he doesn't want ordinary people to know about it. If the major powers knew about it, it would serve as a deterrent to them."
