Chapter 653 Cheap Sister
"Lord, those four guys have all been recruited..."
After sitting down in the front hall, Cao Zhengchun immediately began to report to Lu Fan the news that he had interrogated from the four guys from the Red Flame Holy Cult and the Green Devil.
Those four guys are really hard-core, and it would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to get any information from them through interrogation.
But for Cao Zhengchun, the governor of Dongchang, this is not a problem at all.
After he personally took action, the four guys were all recruited in less than a while, and they were crying and begging for mercy. There was no problem at all.
According to what those four guys said, there were fifty members who came to Daqian this time.
Twenty of them went to the northern border, and those twenty guys were directly encountered by Lu Fan and Rong Lie, and they were all killed.
As for the remaining thirty people, they all came to the Imperial Capital of Daqian.
But in order to keep their whereabouts secret, they all separated after entering Daqian.
Thirty of them were divided into three teams, each team consisted of ten people, and the four of them were one of the teams.
The meeting point they agreed upon was in a mountain range two thousand meters away from the imperial capital.
The four of them came to the imperial capital in advance to investigate the news, and at the same time learned a lot of news about the royal family members.
This time they not only wanted to kill, but also wanted to capture Emperor Qian and several princesses, hoping to use them to force Lu Fan to surrender.
Before, their purpose was to kill Lu Fan, but now they found that Lu Fan had high potential, and there were many strong people around Lu Fan.
So they changed their minds and wanted to force Lu Fan to join them and become one of them.
In this way, not only can they control the entire Daqian without a single blow, but they can also gain access to many powerful men under Lu Fan's command, which is equivalent to killing two birds with one stone.
If it weren't for the purpose of forcing Lu Fan to surrender, it would be much more convenient for them to just go on a killing spree.
Precisely because they wanted to capture Emperor Qian and others to force Lu Fan, they let these four guys sneak into the imperial capital in advance to investigate the news.
The reason for being so cautious is naturally to avoid unnecessary trouble.
These four guys originally planned to inform others after a day of exploration today, and then take action immediately tonight.
But they didn't expect to be caught directly.
After reporting the news from the interrogation, Cao Zhengchun continued: "Lord, those guys are all in that mountain range now. The old slave will lead people to capture them now."
Lu Fan nodded without hesitation when he heard this and looked at Rong Lie, Gui Hai Yida and Tong Tiandao:
"The four of you go together, and bring fifteen guards with you. You must not let anyone go, but try to capture them alive."
"promise!"
Now Cao Zhengchun and others can take action on these matters, there is no need for him to go there personally.
After making quick arrangements, Cao Zhengchun and the other four quietly left with the fifteen Soul Condensing Realm guards in the house, heading straight for the mountain range the four guys mentioned.
After Cao Zhengchun and others left, Lu Fan came outside the front hall and placed all the nine stone man guards and the tree demon who were placed in the system space here.
There were originally nineteen stone man guards, but ten of them were placed in the Hanyang City Sheriff's Mansion.
The remaining nine are of no use in the system space, and they can just be placed here.
The tree demon was extremely excited after being released.
After all, there is nothing in the system space, just a space.
Although the spiritual energy outside is very average, it cannot be compared with that inside the secret realm before.
But at least it's very safe here, so there's nothing to worry about.
When Lu Fan made arrangements for it, he immediately expressed his excitement that he would protect the entire East Palace.
After expressing his stance, the tree demon directly returned to its original form and took root in the garden next to the front hall.
On the surface, it looks like a spiritual tree. There is nothing unusual about it, and no abnormality can be detected using spiritual sense.
With such a guard here who naturally has hidden attributes, there is no problem with the safety of the East Palace.
What's more, there are nine stone man guards who are as invincible as the God Refining Realm.
Unless there is an assassin beyond the realm of refining the gods to assassinate him, that might be of some use.
However, there is also Shi Ji who is at the ninth level of Dongxu Realm, so there is no need to worry about safety issues.
Now that Cao Zhengchun and others were left to deal with the Scarlet Flame Holy Cult and the Green Devil, Lu Fan was free for a while.
After letting He Qing, An Lan and Shen Yanran go down to rest, he remembered what his cheap cousin Lu Wushuang said to him when he left Hanyang City.
Let yourself have time to see your eldest sister after returning to the imperial capital.
Today is the second day since I came to the imperial capital. Time has finally relaxed, so I can go and see this eldest sister.
In the memory of her predecessor, apart from her father and uncle, this eldest sister was the only one left.
Compared to Cheap Fifth Uncle and Cheap Father, it was this eldest sister that the predecessor relied on the most.
Uncle Xianyuan also loved his predecessor very much, but after all, he was no longer around and disappeared for twenty years.
The father's love for his predecessor was never shown on the surface. He was even very strict with his predecessor, and he never cared about his predecessor.
The predecessor did not understand why his father was so indifferent.
But Lu Fan knew clearly that his father loved his predecessor very much, but his predecessor didn't understand how much he loved him.
Because the predecessor was really a waste that could not be cultivated, and it was not deliberately hiding his clumsiness as the outside world speculated.
So Emperor Qian had to be very indifferent to his predecessor and showed no concern at all.
Because his predecessor was the prince of Daqian, but he was also a waste who could not practice.
If Emperor Qian treated his predecessor too well, it would inevitably cause the jealousy of the four people of Ning Wang, and would also cause misunderstandings among other civil officials and generals.
Whether it was the four people of Ning Wang or the civil officials and generals, they would not allow the throne to fall into the hands of a waste.
Therefore, the better Emperor Qian treated his predecessor, the more dangerous it was.
On the contrary, Emperor Qian ignored his predecessor and did not take it seriously at all, which made his predecessor very dangerous.
Because no one would take a waste prince who could not practice seriously, let alone think that a waste could become the master of Daqian.
Because of this, his predecessor could live smoothly until he crossed over.
Although he lived a very aggrieved life, he was not in danger of life after all.
And this was Emperor Qian's special love, he just wanted his predecessor to be safe.
Now that he has shown a strong enough self-protection ability, his cheap father will show his love for him without any scruples.
Lu Fan could feel that his father was making up for his debt to his predecessor.
Because he knew clearly what Emperor Qian had done, he had no hatred or dissatisfaction with Emperor Qian, but was very kind to him.
If Emperor Qian hated his predecessor from the bottom of his heart, or did not like his predecessor, he would definitely not have such an attitude towards Emperor Qian.
After these thoughts flashed through his mind, he took Shi Ji and left the East Palace, heading straight to his eldest sister's princess's mansion...
