Chase Lu froze immediately.
"This...is this too sudden? I'm not even prepared yet!" Concubine Cao Xuan blushed and asked, "Have you chosen a date? When will you get married?"
"Hey! Are you taking it seriously? Don't be ashamed!" Cao Guan glared.
"You said it yourself, what does it have to do with me?" Concubine Cao Xuan raised her eyebrows.
"Okay, let's be serious."
Cao Guan slowly suppressed his smile: "Although we have temporarily overcome the difficulties today, the matter is far from over. With Shangguan Hong's temper, he will never give up."
"With the support of Governor Xia and the old alliance leader, does Shangguan Hong still dare to act recklessly?" Concubine Cao Xuan raised her eyebrows lightly.
"Shangguan Hong may not dare to attack head-on, but he will definitely attack in secret."
Cao Guan looked serious: "The favor between Governor Xia and the old alliance leader has been repaid, and it is impossible for him to help us a second time, so now, we have to rely on ourselves."
"So, our Cao family will still be in trouble?" Concubine Cao Xuan thought thoughtfully.
"There will definitely be a lot of trouble, but the most critical thing right now is Lu Chen's safety."
Cao Guan turned to Lu Chen and reminded: "Shangguan Hong is extremely arrogant. Whether you are because of Shangguan Lingcai's death or because you provoke his majesty in public today, it is an unpardonable act, so you will be in danger next time." !”
"Thank you, Uncle Cao, for reminding me. I will pay attention." Lu Chen nodded.
Of course he knew that Shangguan Hong would take revenge.
But as long as Concubine Cao Xuan is safe, he has nothing to fear.
"In the recent period, I will send a group of secret guards to protect you, which should be able to help you solve some troubles." Cao Guandao.
"A group of secret guards? Dad, aren't those your personal guards?" Concubine Cao Xuan was quite surprised.
There are a total of six groups of Cao family secret guards.
The strongest group, with innate masters in it, is the Cao family's trump card.
It's just that on weekdays, a group is responsible for the safety of the clan leader and never takes action easily.
"I can't use it for the time being, so let a group protect Lu Chen." Cao Guandao.
"Uncle Cao, actually, I don't need anyone to protect me." Lu Chen tried to decline politely.
"There are always times when people relax. Having a team to protect you is an extra insurance, and it is also the heart of our Cao family. Don't refuse." Cao Guan was very serious.
"My dad is right, safety is the most important thing." Concubine Cao Xuan nodded.
"All right......"
Now that it was all said and done, Lu Chen no longer refused.
Although he is not afraid of Shangguan Hong, if the other party attempts to assassinate him, it will still have some impact.
With secret guards watching, at least some unnecessary trouble can be avoided.
. . . . . .
At this moment, inside the Shangguan family's mansion.
"General Hong, now that the Cao family is under the protection of the Governor, it will not be easy for us to deal with him."
Ma Weiguo sat on the sofa, thoughtful.
"It may not work openly, but that doesn't mean you can't do it secretly."
Shangguan Hong stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the birds on the tree outside the window with unusually cold eyes.
"Oh? What does General Hong plan to do?" Ma Weiguo was a little curious.
"I have some friends in the world. I will ask them to take action and make the Cao family uneasy!" Shangguan Hong said coldly.
"But, Huangfu Longteng's side..." Ma Weiguo stopped talking.
As a martial arts master, Huangfu Longteng's influence is not ordinary.
"Huh! I'm just an old man who is about to enter the coffin. Even though he has some say, he still can't stop me!" Shangguan Hong looked aloof.
"It seems that General Hong has already made arrangements. Do you need my help?" Ma Weiguo asked tentatively.
"Just help me keep an eye on Xia Yongkang's movements. As long as he doesn't show up, the Cao family will let me do whatever I want!" Shangguan Hong slowly clenched his fist with one hand.
"No problem! This matter will be taken care of by me!" Ma Weiguo promised, patting his chest.
He didn't have the guts to challenge Governor Xia.
But if it's just an eyeliner, it's nothing.
After seeing Ma Weiguo off, Shangguanhong suddenly turned around, faced a corner, and said coldly: "That guy named Lu Chen made me very unhappy today. I asked you to kill him before, but now, I have changed my mind. Because, I want to make his life worse than death!"
"Yes!"
In the corner, a figure disappeared out of thin air.
