Leng Shiqi didn't expect to find Mo Huishou so quickly, and she was actually in the palace!
"Is she a member of Zhu Lu Country's royal family?" He guessed.
But this was also good. He originally planned to use Mo Huishou to help him collect Gu worms, so the earlier he found her, the better.
Unfortunately, now wasn't the time to go out, so Leng Shiqi could only stay in the room and cultivate.
The night passed quickly, and it was very peaceful.
The next morning, Leng Shiqi sent Guan Fei Hong to gather information, but he didn't want to gather information about the Main Combat Faction, but he wanted information about the Gu God Sect and Gu worms!
This was his main purpose in coming to Zhu Lu Country!
As for holding accountable and interfering in Zhu Lu Country's faction disputes, with Yu Ruifeng and Yuan Cang around, there was no place for him to speak.
Leng Shiqi walked out of the door and was surprised to see a group of Zhu Lu Country's people rushing in angrily, heading straight for Yu Ruifeng's room.
He furrowed his brows and felt a little uneasy. Something important must have happened to make these people so angry. So, he followed them.
Leng Shiqi had just gotten close to Yu Ruifeng's room when he heard angry shouts coming from inside, and a piece of news that shocked him!
Zhu Lu Country's King died mysteriously last night!
In a moment, thousands of thoughts flashed through Leng Shiqi's mind.
The King died?
No matter how small Zhu Lu Country was, it was still a country. How could the King suddenly die?
And he died after they came here, so it looked like they were the ones who did it!
And those people just now were some of Zhu Lu Country's ministers. They thought it was Yu Ruifeng and the others who killed him!
Leng Shiqi walked into the room and saw Yu Ruifeng's face as black as an iron pot, being pointed at and questioned by a few people.
Now, they had come here specifically to question him. In the end, before they could even begin, they were questioned by someone else.
Leng Shiqi looked at Yu Ruifeng and knew that he had a lot of anger in his heart. Yu Ruifeng was the inspector of the West Barren Prefecture, and the prefecture he oversaw was even bigger than the Zhu Road Country.
He came to Zhu Road Country with a bit of arrogance. Now that he was being questioned by a group of officials from a small country, he would definitely be furious.
But Yu Ruifeng didn't say anything. He just sat there with a sullen face.
Leng Shiqi nodded. Yu Ruifeng was right.
At this time, Yu Ruifeng absolutely couldn't say anything. They had all stayed in the posthouse last night. Many of them could testify to each other. It would only take a little investigation to find out.
And once Yu Ruifeng got angry, he would be caught red-handed and wouldn't let go!
At this moment, Yuan Cang also rushed over. He chuckled and tried to smooth things over. "Everyone!
Sirs, there's no need to be so emotional. We've only just found out about your country's King's passing, and our hearts are filled with grief.
But this matter has nothing to do with us. We didn't even take a step out of the posthouse. You'll know once you check. "
"The people of the Thunder Flame Dynasty are the most despicable. You just arrived at the King City and the King died mysteriously. Who else could it be other than you!"
"Don't think that we don't know. You're all from the Dark Thunder Guards, and you're all Spirit Cultivators of the Sky Realm. It's not impossible to assassinate the King without anyone knowing."
"You dare to assassinate the King? Take them down!"
Yuan Cang and Yu Ruifeng quickly exchanged glances. At this time, not only them, but even Leng Shiqi could see that these people were here to cause trouble!
Anyone with a discerning eye would know that the reason why the Thunderflame Dynasty sent Leng Shiqi and the Dark Lightning Guards and delayed for more than a month before coming to the Zhu Road Country was to make both sides turn the matter into a small one.
As long as Zhu Road Country took out some benefits, everyone would treat it as if the transportation of iron didn't happen.
Therefore, Leng Shiqi and the others would definitely not assassinate the King. They had no motive at all.
And these officials of Zhu Road Country were all people who could sit in high positions. How could they be fools?
How could they not see it?
Therefore, these people wanted to use the King's death to put the hat of a major suspect on the Dark Thunder Guards. This way, the Dark Thunder Guards could only focus on proving their innocence. How could they have the chance to question the Zhu Road Country about collecting iron?
To Yu Ruifeng, the King's death was completely unexpected and completely disrupted the plan they made last night.
But thinking about it, now that the King was dead, the throne was empty.
There was no need to think about what would happen next. Zhu Road Country would definitely fall into internal strife for the throne.
As long as Zhu Road Country fell into chaos, they would no longer have any thoughts of harming the Thunder Flame Dynasty. This was a good thing.
At this time, another person rushed in. It was Prince Gus.
As soon as he walked in, he scolded the officials who were causing trouble, "Impudent!
Lord Yu is the special envoy of the Thunder Flame Dynasty. His status is noble and even this king is far inferior to him.
You actually dare to question Lord Yu. You are really reckless! "
"Prince Gus, their appearance and the King's death cannot be a coincidence!"
"That's right. Even if they are the special envoys of the Thunder Flame Dynasty, we must investigate this matter thoroughly."
"So what if they are from the Thunder Flame Dynasty?
They dare to assassinate the King. At most, we will fight them to the death! "
"Enough!"
Prince Gus roared, "A group of people who don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Haven't you embarrassed yourselves enough? This king orders you to leave this place immediately!"
When they saw how angry Prince Gus was, they didn't dare to disobey the king's orders. They could only leave with righteous indignation while muttering.
Prince Gus turned around and put on a warm smile. He said to Yu Ruifeng, "Lord Yu, please forgive us. The Cheating Country's King suddenly passed away, and the officials were a little flustered. They should die a thousand times for disturbing Lord Yu's rest."
As the saying goes, don't slap a smiling face. Yu Ruifeng also squeezed out a smile and said, "Prince Gus, what are you saying? I am also very surprised and sad about the death of your King. It is understandable that the officials are a little agitated."
Prince Gus heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, since that is the case, this king will thank Lord Yu on behalf of those officials for letting bygones be bygones.
Now that the King has passed away, the Zhu Lu Country is without a leader. Lord Yu's matter may be pushed back for a while. "
"It is fine. I am afraid that your country has a lot of things to deal with now. We can just wait here." Yu Ruifeng's words were full of understanding.
"Lord Yu is really magnanimous. This king admires you."
Speaking until here, he sighed again. "Sigh. The palace is in a mess now. This king still has to go back and pacify the officials. I will not disturb Lord Yu's rest."
"Prince, please do as you wish."
After Prince Gus left, Yu Ruifeng asked Leng Shiqi who had been watching from the side, "What do you think?"
Leng Shiqi said, "One is playing the good cop, the other is playing the bad cop."
