Chapter 184: Farewell to His Majesty

Tiandou City.

Ning Fengzhi and his party did not go to see Xue Qinghe immediately, but stayed in the hotel opened by Qibao Liuli Sect and asked about what happened during this period.

After listening to the report, Ning Fengzhi showed an expression of "as expected".

Ning Fengzhi waved his hand and signaled the intelligence personnel to go down.

"I am a little surprised that Xue Beng and Prince Xuexing could escape." Ning Fengzhi sighed.

"Maybe Xue Qinghe let them go." Ning Rongrong thought for a while and said, "Based on the situation of Prince Xuexing and Xue Beng, their target of escape may be the Barak Kingdom."

"Why is it the Barak Kingdom?" Dugu Yan was puzzled.

Ning Rongrong explained: "Among the four kingdoms of the Tiandou Empire, the military power of the Barak Kingdom is the strongest. It can also be said to be the gateway to the Tiandou Empire. It borders the Xingluo Empire."

"Secondly, the king of the Barak Kingdom is the cousin of Emperor Xue Ye. If Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing want to succeed, the best way is to use the power of the Barak Kingdom."

"They want the Barak Kingdom to rebel?" Dugu Yan blinked.

"Maybe so." Ning Rongrong spread his hands, "The current policy of Xue Qinghe is not very friendly to the nobles."

"Interest relationship!" Ning Fengzhi sighed, "Speaking of which, Marshal Ge Long led his troops to garrison in the Fasno Province. Perhaps from the beginning, he was not dealing with the Xingluo Empire, but restricting the Barak Kingdom so that they would not dare to act rashly."

"These are none of our business." Ning Rongrong pondered for a while, "With Qian Renxue's personality, Ge Long may not live long."

"Why?" Dugu Bo asked in confusion.

Ge Long is one of the few grassroots counter-attackers who can rise from a civilian to a marshal in the Tiandou Empire.

He has also reached the Soul Douluo level. Ge Long is the best in the Tiandou Empire in terms of martial soul cultivation and military command ability.

Even as a Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo has a lot of respect for Marshal Ge Long.

"Ge Long was personally promoted by Emperor Xue Ye. The so-called grace of recognition..." Ning Rongrong did not continue.

"Is that so!" Dugu Bo sighed after hearing this, "With his personality, it is possible."

Ning Fengzhi was about to speak.

"Knock knock knock"

The knock on the door interrupted Ning Fengzhi's thoughts.

"Come in."

A man dressed in simple clothes and looking like a waiter walked into the room quickly.

"Master, Meng Shenji Education Committee wants to see you."

"Well, I know." Ning Fengzhi nodded and motioned the waiter to go out.

After the waiter left, he also closed the door considerately.

"The people from Xue Qinghe are here." Ning Rongrong raised her lips.

"It's normal, isn't it? We didn't deliberately hide our whereabouts when we came in, so it's not surprising that we were discovered. However, Meng Shenji... has he joined the Spirit Hall?"

Dugu Yan was no stranger to Meng Shenji.

After all, he was a student who had studied at Tiandou Royal Academy for many years. It was a bit ridiculous that even the principal didn't know him.

When Ning Rongrong had a conflict with Xue Beng, she and her grandfather Dugu Bo appeared in front of Xue Beng's dormitory.

Led by Ning Fengzhi, the group walked out of the hotel.

As soon as they arrived at the gate.

Meng Shenji stepped forward quickly.

He bowed respectfully to Ning Fengzhi, Gu Douluo, and Dugu Bo.

"Meng Shenji, the education committee member, is there anything you need to come here so late?" After a brief greeting, Ning Fengzhi began to ask about the matter.

"Yes, His Highness Xue Qinghe asked Master Ning to come to the palace to talk about His Majesty Xue Ye." Meng Shenji looked anxious, but did not directly say that Emperor Xue Ye had died suddenly.

"Okay."

Ning Fengzhi thought about it and did not refuse.

As for Xue Qinghe wanting to kill him, it was impossible.

Except for the Qian Daoliu-level attack, his team could go to Douluo Continent.

Qian Daoliu had a fierce battle with Tang Chen not long ago and both were injured. It is not clear whether he can recover now.

Besides, Jian Douluo has also learned the ring fusion skill. Although it is highly likely that he cannot beat Qian Daoliu in his full victory period, if he wants to catch him by surprise and beat the already injured Qian Daoliu, as long as he seizes the opportunity, he is not completely without a chance of winning.

On the way to Tiandou Palace.

"Meng Shenji Education Committee, I have something to ask you, is it convenient?" In the silent night sky, a group of people walked quickly towards the palace, and Ning Rongrong's voice suddenly sounded.

"I wonder what you want to ask, Master Ning?"

"Are Prince Xuexing and His Royal Highness Xuebeng also in the palace now?"

Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Meng Shenji's face changed slightly.

Then, he glanced at Ning Fengzhi and sighed: "The two left Tiandou City a day ago. As for where they went, I don't know."

"In addition, Princess Xue Ke seems to have left as well."

"Xue Ke?"

"Yes." Meng Shenji nodded and looked at the white-haired girl. Hearing the familiar voice, he was a little confused and uncertain, "I wonder who this is..."

"I am Dugu Yan! Meng Shenji Education Committee, long time no see."

"Du... Dugu Yan?"

Meng Shenji was stunned, looking back and forth at Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

Dugu Bo had green hair, which looked green.

Dugu Yan had long silver-white hair, which looked quite ethereal and natural.

Although they looked similar, Meng Shenji couldn't compare the woman in front of him with Dugu Yan, who used to have purple hair, exuded a gloomy aura and was unapproachable.

"Sister Yanyan's martial spirit evolved unexpectedly, and her body also underwent some changes."

Ning Rongrong explained.

"So... so that's it." Meng Shenji suddenly realized that since it involved martial spirits, Meng Shenji didn't ask any more questions.

"Did Princess Xue Ke voluntarily leave the capital with Xue Beng?"

Ning Rongrong changed the subject.

"No." Captain Meng Shenji sighed, "Prince Xuexing and Xue Beng took Princess Xue Ke away when they left, and for this... His Highness Qinghe was very angry."

Meng Shenji didn't want to talk about the royal family's affairs, but the people in front of him were from the Qibao Liuli Sect, and Ning Fengzhi was Xue Qinghe's teacher. Even if he told her, Xue Qinghe would not blame him.

Xue Beng and Prince Xuexing took Xue Ke away, what a bizarre operation. Could it be that Xue Beng wanted to use Xue Ke to threaten Xue Qinghe?

Qian Renxue treated Xue Ke well, perhaps because she saw her former self in Xue Ke.

But it doesn't mean that Xue Ke is so important to Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue), who has no blood relationship with her.

To be honest, Xue Qinghe might also be worried that one day Xue Ke would know that she is Qian Renxue.

Kill her father and dominate her career.

That must be a fight to the death!

"Meng Shenji Education Committee, is His Majesty going to die?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

"This..." Meng Shenji hesitated.

"Don't worry, Elder Jian has set up a barrier, and no one knows about it except us."

"Ah!" Seeing Ning Fengzhi say this, Captain Meng Shenji sighed and replied, "His Majesty passed away yesterday morning."

"It's just that His Majesty asked us to keep it a secret and discuss the response strategy after Sect Master Ning comes."

"Did Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing also leave after His Majesty's death?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously.

"Almost! Prince Xue Xing took advantage of the time when His Majesty blocked the news and took people away from Tiandou City in the chaos."

"That's why His Majesty didn't find out that Princess Xue Ke was kidnapped."

Everyone communicated with Meng Shenji, and soon they entered the palace under his leadership and saw Xue Qinghe, who hadn't seen him for many days.

Xue Qinghe looked haggard.

He didn't have the youthful vigor of the past few days. He was sleep deprived, had heavy dark circles under his eyes, and exuded a sad atmosphere all over his body.
