Chapter 432: Catching an Unlucky Guy
"It's not a matter of thanking you or not. You should go back first and come back after you finish dealing with things over there. It's up to you whether you want to join the Shadow Guard or the Thousand Machines Pavilion. Go ahead."
"Yes, I'll take my leave!"
When Wu Huan went out, he happened to bump into Hongxiu who was guarding the door. The two of them did not answer but just greeted each other.
Hongxiu returned to her master, frowned and muttered a few words.
"Cheng Zhuo is really not able to control his subordinates at all. The rules of the shadows clearly need to be strengthened!"
"Well, Wu Huan isn't officially a shadow guard yet, so we'll see when she's officially assigned. Where's the shadow guard on duty today? Why didn't I call him out just now?"
"I'm here."
A ghostly figure came in from the window, hanging upside down.
Just now, when the master called him, Cao Huaner ran out first, so he didn't go down. Now he can only kneel down in front of the master and apologize.
"I am stupid, please forgive me, Master."
"Get up, you have just been transferred to the Shadow Guard, and this is not your original job. I understand that you may not be able to adapt for a while. Cheng Zhuo..."
"Your subordinate is Yingyi!"
"Okay, okay, Yingyi."
Jiang Wan was always uncomfortable with these people's obsession with addressing others by their job titles. After all, they were all acquaintances, so calling them by code names was strange.
"How's the training going for your Shadow Guard department lately? Can you come up with something useful?"
"Master, Senior An Yi said that a group of shadows have passed the test and can be transferred back to serve at any time."
"Alright then, make arrangements quickly. Let's start with the Cui, Lu, Qian, and Fan families. If we disrupt their branch in the capital, their main family will probably be getting restless."
"yes!"
An Yi agreed and waited quietly for further instructions. After five breaths, when his master still didn't speak, he spoke up to report.
"Those assassins from the Wansha Pavilion have subsided. Master, please advise, should we keep them or not?"
"Did you reveal anything?"
"I am incompetent and haven't found any useful information yet. I only know that Leng Yi is Leng Qianli's adopted son, and that the Wansha Pavilion has some connection with the Dali royal family."
"With whom?"
"Those killers don't know either."
"That's because your interrogation methods are not good enough. Hand the person over to me and I'll have someone capable teach you what torture is!"
The emperor, who had won the argument with his ministers in the hall, came in triumphantly. He tugged at his dragon robe, leaned back in his chair as usual, and drank from his teacup.
"Your humble servant pays homage to His Majesty!"
"Your servant greets His Majesty!"
"Everyone, get up! Hongxiu, bring me some tea. I need to get it ready. I've been arguing with those people in the palace all morning, and my throat is almost dry and smoking!"
"yes!"
After drinking two glasses of water to moisten his throat, he put down the teacup with a smile.
"But there's nothing much to judge about those people. They're just small fry. Wife, do you know what big fish I caught this time?"
The queen waved her hand and sent everyone away, then turned to look at her husband.
"Tell me about it."
"Hey, you don't know! Didn't I go to the camp outside Beijing yesterday? On the way back, I ran into an unlucky guy, hehehehehe..."
"Stop it, who is it? Tell me!"
Jiang Wan hadn't been able to get used to this guy's iconic villain laugh for so many years, and then he saw Li Chengxiu yelling towards the outside in a cocky manner.
"Li Song, bring him in for the Queen to see!"
The emperor's men were always quick and efficient. As soon as the leader gave his orders, a tall palace maid was pushed in from outside the door.
He lowered his head, reluctantly shaking off the bastards behind him, and moved into the house at a snail's pace. He didn't say a word or greet anyone, just standing there stiffly.
Jiang Wan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"May I ask this young lady, which way of deity are you?"
“Hehehe…
My wife is asking you a question, please at least say something, Miss Duan!
"Ga ga ga ga ga~~~"
The emperor, who was gloating over other people's misfortune, had a filthy smile on his face, and even sat there in a very rude manner, shaking his legs, playing the role of a scoundrel to the fullest.
"Li Chengxiu, a gentleman can be killed but not humiliated! If you continue to do this to taunt me, I will be angry!"
The girl suddenly raised her head, and her handsome and beautiful face was embedded with a pair of eyes full of rage. The flames burning in them were about to turn into a pile of fire. She was eager to burn to death Li Chengxiu, the bastard who took advantage of the situation!
Jiang Wan's expression changed immediately.
This voice is male.
solitary?
She turned her head to look at her husband who was sitting there happily and unruly, and gave him a warning glare.
"Your Majesty, please maintain your royal decorum."
"Oh, I see."
The emperor, who sat up straight after being threatened by his wife's eyes, still couldn't control his joy. He raised his paw and pointed at the unlucky guy, his mouth broken with joy that couldn't be pinched.
"Look, my dear wife, hahahaha, this is the unlucky dog prince of Dali that I told you about!
Hahahahahaha…
Oh my God, I am just sitting at home and happiness comes from heaven!
Duan Shaoyan, I have to say you are quite pretty, hahahahaha..."
"That's enough! If you keep laughing, I'll really get angry!"
Duan Shaoyan angrily reached out and messed up the bun on his head. His thick black hair was scratched into a chicken coop by his big hands, which made Li Chengxiu even happier.
“…Prince Duan?”
Jiang Wan also immediately figured out the relationship. Although he didn't know how the other party ended up in such a miserable state, he had to ask what he needed to ask.
"Yes, it's me!"
Looking at the Queen Dayu, who was so beautiful that she looked like a ghost, Duan Shaoyan's toes began to scratch the ground frantically in his shoes out of shame.
He was really a jerk. He heard that that idiot Li Chengxiu had actually taken over the throne of Dayu. He was so angry that he asked the old man for an imperial decree to come and see if all the princes of the Dayu royal family were dead. Otherwise, how could it be the turn of that idiot Li Chengxiu?
I am such a wise and intelligent prince, and I am still serving as the crown prince. How could he suddenly become the emperor?
It’s not fair, God is blind!
No, I must come here to learn from him and see how this guy became the emperor.
Who knew that not long after arriving in Dayu, he was hunted down all the way. Many of his men were killed, and after finally reaching Dayu's capital, he heard that the envoys from Dali were coming soon!
Damn it, I have had such a colorful journey and my life is hanging by a thread. I can tell what kind of bastard that so-called envoy behind me is just by thinking about it!
Sure enough, Queen Dayu frowned.
"If I remember correctly, we just received news from the Dali envoy a few days ago. It seems that the one who sent me to Dayu this time is your country's Pluto?"
