After all, Cheng Chumo was unable to make it in time to witness the so-called "river of blood".

"Your Highness, are you really so confident in letting Wang Pan leave?" The next morning, at the gate of Yangshou Mountain, Shan Tianchang stood beside the King of Chu and watched Wang Pan's receding figure with him. After thinking it over again and again, he finally expressed his thoughts: "I think... it is better to keep this person..."

"Shan Tianchang is right, Your Highness. This person is quite cunning. We must be on guard against him." Xiong Wushuang on the side couldn't help but agree when he heard this.

"Tsk, that bastard looks like a filthy fellow who will be chopped by a knife or an axe." - As the trusted general of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Yuwen Qing spoke more bluntly: "Your Highness, what kind of person is he? He is worthy of you to send him off in person."

"What you three said is all right..." After hearing what the three said, His Royal Highness the King of Chu looked at Wang Pan's receding figure with a slightly restrained look in his eyes: "But I still want to let him go, Xuan Ce, what do you think?"

“Your Highness, I think the same as you do.” Wang Xuance smiled upon hearing this. “When Wang Pan and Miao Manqing fought each other before, both of them were really angry. The secrets they said in a hurry… didn’t sound like they were fake, but… even so, that was just a trick thrown by Wang Pan in a hurry - and Miao Manqing quickly understood his intentions and began to cooperate…”

“After all, the three of them have been tied to the same rope for a long time. They may have been tempted by the promise I made before, but they still had a glimmer of hope in their hearts.” His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this and turned to look at everyone: “If Wang Pan took the initiative to tell me the whereabouts of the money Wang Dayong embezzled over the years before leaving, and even who his accomplices in the officialdom are, then I would even consider sparing his life. But now…”

"Your Highness, Miao Manqing is still in the village. Why don't you hand him over to me? He will confess everything under torture!" Yuwen Qing said, taking a bite of the freshly baked steamed bun in his hand.

"You'd better save your breath..." After hearing what Yuwen Qing said, His Royal Highness the King of Chu lazily raised his hand and waved it casually to refuse: "No need to do this - there is only one way for Wang Dayong now, to fight against me with all your might, and this is what I want. To punish a corrupt official, I have to spend a lot of time collecting evidence of his crimes, but if I kill a traitor, my father will praise me for maintaining the dignity of the royal family. Don't you think this is better?"

"Great, Your Highness..." Upon hearing that, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but give the King of Chu a thumbs up.

But then, he was slapped on the back of his head: "You bastard! What's so wonderful about that?"

"Dad?!" Jiang Sheng heard the familiar voice and immediately turned to look at his father: "You finished the work so quickly?"

"..." Unlike Jiang Sheng's excitement, the other retainers standing by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, except for the young Taoist priest Zhang Zhenxuan who had already noticed something, were all shocked: the old man could actually lurk beside them silently, and was not discovered until he spoke. This... was indeed a bit weird - after all, none of the people present at this moment were fools.

Oh, Xiong Wushuang is to be confirmed.

"Jiang Qu, you're here?" When His Royal Highness the King of Chu saw Jiang Qu, he immediately wanted to hug the old man: "You've been through a long journey, thank you for your hard work. By the way, where is my Uncle Dou?"

"Your Highness, don't come over here..." Jiang Qu looked at His Highness the King of Chu who was about to perform "courtesy to the wise and humble". He said that when he followed Zhang Xutuo and Zhang Shuai to charge into battle, he was not as nervous as he is now: "I am just here to pass on a message on behalf of Lord Dou. I have to leave soon."

“Ah? Ah…” His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu stopped walking after hearing that, and then acted as if he had given his true love to someone he had mistaken for someone else: “Jiang Qu… You were not like this when you were my groom in the palace…”

"..." Looking at His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu who suddenly turned green tea, Jiang Qu's face was filled with a look of despair.

At this time, Wang Xuance and Zhang Zhenxuan on the side looked at each other silently, and then smiled at each other tacitly: Although His Royal Highness the King of Chu just wanted to give a good job to Jiang Gong, whom he had not seen for a long time, who can say that he was not using this move to implicitly tell Shan Tianchang and Xiong Wushuang the position of Jiang Gong in his heart?

Just like when His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu let Wang Pan go before, was he really just forcing Wang Dayong to go crazy like a cat playing with a mouse?

——If Shan Tianchang and Xiong Wushuang had not stopped His Royal Highness the King of Chu from letting this man go when everyone was seeing Wang Pan off, then perhaps His Royal Highness the King of Chu would really remember the original intention of his visit - to let Li Huairen, Cheng Chumo and his gang of good brothers practice their skills against the tens of thousands of bandits in Wild Wolf Ridge and Broken Soul Valley.

"Your Highness, I will reflect on this carefully when I get back..." In the end, Jiang Qu chose to silently endure the rough emotional expression of His Highness the King of Chu.

“That’s not the case—” His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu began to feel that something was wrong after hearing this: “Wait… Jiang Qu, you didn’t really do anything to let me down… did you?!”

"I shouldn't have gotten on the carriage to Chang'an back then..." Jiang Qu knew how to get to the point.

"Wow..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu collapsed this time: "Lord Jiang...you are really hurting me..."

“Your Highness, stop it…” Wang Xuance saw that he could not win the argument with His Highness the King of Chu, so he stepped forward to prevent the other party from getting angry and saying, “You should first listen to what Lord Dou has to say to you…”

“I don’t want to listen, I don’t want to listen…” His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who had overused his brain today, began to demonstrate what it meant to “drool even after being cured”: “The wind is howling in the Taihang Mountains, the old man of the Jiang family… actually bullied me because I am weak and powerless… Zhenxuan… Woo woo…”

“Your Highness…” Zhang Zhenxuan looked at His Highness the Prince of Chu who turned around and approached him. He suddenly wanted to be like his great-grandfather and vomit blood when he saw His Highness the Prince of Chu. “My body is running with innate energy. Please don’t come over…”

"What is that thing?" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu turned around and looked at Jiang.

"The little celestial master is amazing..." Upon hearing this, Jiang Qu first gave Zhang Zhenxuan a thumbs up in appreciation, and then glanced at his silly head with a little disdain: "In simple terms, the little celestial master is practicing all the time every day. Your Highness, I know that you have never lacked the talent for enlightenment, but it's a pity that you are lazy..."
