Protect Our Chief

Chapter 1078: Chapter 71: Shocking! Liua Ruolan Faces a Deadly Crisis

"Yes, Your Highness." Luo Yuqing bowed in response.

"Moreover, awaken the dark agents buried beside Zhao Zhikun." After pondering for a moment, Prince Kang’s eyes showed a touch of grimness as he continued, "Zhao Zhikun is somewhat afraid of his wife; I’m worried he might succumb to Jiang Family’s instigation and cause some trouble. Now is the most critical moment in the Struggle of the Imperial Sons, and we can’t afford to be careless."

"Then..." Luo Yuqing’s eyes flickered as he asked, "If Zhao Zhikun makes any moves, how should I handle it? He is a Divine Seed at the middle stage of the Purple Mansion Realm, not easy to deal with."

"Zhao Zhikun is currently a prisoner about to be sent into the Cannon Fodder Camp. Even though he can temporarily reunite with his family due to his special status, customarily, his cultivation will definitely be shackled by the God-locking Shackles, and with his Divine Thought and Profound Qi unable to be used, any Celestial Human can easily deal with him." A cold glint flashed in Prince Kang’s eyes, "Zhao Zhikun, oh Zhao Zhikun, if it weren’t for your foolishness, would this prince have fallen into such a passive situation? I hope you don’t do anything stupid again..."

"Your Highness, I understand." Luo Yuqing’s eyes slightly narrowed as he bowed his head.

"Where is Younger Brother Gong Yang? This Prince hasn’t heard from him for some days now..." After dealing with one matter, Prince Kang brought up another.

"Your Highness, Young Master Ce completed arrangements with Zhao Zhikun and was then called back to the Saint Land by Elder Langya." Luo Yuqing said in a low voice, "It seems the sudden emergence of Liyao, the Great Celestial Pride, disrupted Elder Langya’s plans and pace. Elder hopes Young Master Ce will go into seclusion for a time to receive further inheritance."

"Why the rush?" Prince Kang said with some dissatisfaction, "The Struggle of the Imperial Sons hasn’t ended, and the Struggle for the Saint Son is still early. If Gongyang Ce hadn’t abandoned his post at a crucial moment, would Wang Family have had such an opportunity? Yuqing, immediately send someone to notify Gongyang Ce, directing him to hurry back to Gui Long City."

"As long as I win the Struggle of the Imperial Sons, I will definitely do all I can to help him succeed."

"Yuqing understands." Luo Yuqing accepted the order.

"Additionally, there’s Wang Shouzhe..." Prince Kang’s handsome and dignified face turned dark and resentful at the mention of Wang Shouzhe.

In the past, he had intended to recruit the Wang Family. But back then, Changning Wang Family was only a Seventh-Grade Noble Family, and he didn’t pay much attention, nor was his intention strong. He allowed Long Wuji and Gongyang Ce to handle matters, hoping to suppress Wang Family harshly, making them submit obediently.

But unexpectedly, that inconspicuous little Wang Family developed to such a degree, becoming a significant threat to him.

"Wang Shouzhe is a person of deep machinations and cunning tricks. If not for him, how could Prince Anjun rise up with momentum to contend with me?"

"If not for him, how could Zhao Zhikun and I be in such a passive situation?"

"Yuqing, do we have a chance to dispatch assassins to eliminate this fiend completely before the Grand Court Assembly, dealing a massive blow to Prince Anjun?" A vicious look crossed Prince Kang’s face.

Luo Yuqing gave a bitter smile, shaking her head saying: "Wang Shouzhe’s whereabouts have always been watched by our people. But most of the time, he stays at Wang Family’s Main Residence and doesn’t come out. Recently, due to the Three Ministries’ travel ban not being lifted, he hasn’t stepped out at all... Although Daqian Wang Family has declined, they are not easy to bully. Any ordinary force infiltrating... that would be a suicidal mission."

She’s quite experienced in intelligence work, yet never encountered a target so reclusive, staying in one place all the time without moving. Trying to find a moment when he’s alone has proven impossible.

"Hmm!" Prince Kang snorted angrily, "This person is not only hateful but also highly crafty. It’s said that Your Majesty intends to summon him to participate in the upcoming Grand Court Assembly. With his scheming and methods, he’s likely to stir up trouble at the event."

"Wang Shouzhe, oh Wang Shouzhe, since you’ve chosen to be my enemy, don’t blame me for being ruthless. As they say, you can hide from the monk, but you can’t hide from the temple. Though you may hide in Daqian Wang Family’s Main Residence, can the people in your Changning Main Residence hide as well?"

"Your Highness intends to remove the foundational support?" Luo Yuqing pondered, calculatingly adding, "It’s said this Wang Shouzhe is very good at leveraging power, anticipating enemy actions with leniency. I’ve been keeping an eye on those Purple Mansion Realm cultivators connected to Changning Wang Family, and now they each have their own whereabouts."

"Ancestor Fire Fox, the two ancestors of Qiaan Family are confirmed to be in their respective families... Yesterday, we received news that Elder Yian appeared at Yian Family’s Main Residence. Now should be the Wang Family’s Main Residence’s weakest moment."

"According to information, Wang Family currently appears to have two Purple Mansion Realm combat capabilities. One is the Clan Guardian Spirit Beast Wang Lilong, currently residing in the Imperial Palace. Moreover, Wang Family seems to have acquired a Purple Mansion Realm puppet from the Gongye Family..." After some calculations, Luo Yuqing continued, "But since Wang Shouzhe is entering the capital, given his cautious and careful nature, he’s likely accompanied by a puppet; hence, this Purple Mansion Realm puppet is most likely with him. How does Your Highness plan to remove the foundational support?"

"Very well, I heard Wang Shouzhe is quite afraid of his wife." Prince Kang sipped Spirit Tea as his eyes shifted with calculations, "If we can capture Wang Shouzhe’s wife and some key family members, it may force Wang Shouzhe into cautious action. However, to prevent any unexpected events, we cannot use our overt experts."
