Chapter 16 Night Visit to the Cavalry Mansion

“The one hiding behind the scenes is indeed the Queen.

Han Xu heard clearly the conversation between Wang Qian and his son outside the rockery.

The Queen's majestic yet friendly figure emerged in his mind, but Han Xu still couldn't figure it out.

It is understandable to arrange the assassination before Han Luoling enters the city, but now that Han Luoling has entered the city, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to assassinate him before the wedding.

Queen, why are you taking such a big risk? Is it just to test Wang Qian's loyalty?

This is absolutely impossible.

As a cavalry general, Wang Qian reached the third rank. Although he was not very powerful, he still held military power, and as a capital official, he still had a certain status in the court.

Regardless of success or failure in this assassination, Wang Qian had a narrow escape from death.

With the queen's scheming mind, she would never use Wang Qian as cannon fodder simply to test his loyalty. This is illogical.

"Father, the queen is trying to put our Wang family to death." Wang Ran was not a fool and could analyze many problems.

Wang Qian said: "But we have no choice. As the ancients said, wealth can be found in danger. If this battle can be successful, the future of our Wang family will be bright."

"It seems that father has made arrangements?"

"In this battle, I will personally take action and use the private army in the mansion."

"But Han Luoling is now heavily protected by the Tiance Army, so it will be difficult to kill her."

"In order to celebrate this wedding, Your Majesty will set the ceremony location at the Shenwu Palace in the east of the city, which is used to worship heaven. When Your Majesty travels, the Tiance Army must accompany him to protect him, and the number of manpower to protect Han Luoling will be reduced."

Wang Qian continued: "From Han Luoling's villa to Shenwu Palace, we must pass through the Huancheng River. When the time comes, I will personally lead my personal guards and ambush nearby. When she passes by, I will kill her with lightning speed, and then sneak into the river and leave."

"Father's plan is really foolproof." Wang Ran sighed.

"The only risk left now," Wang Qian said, "is the master who can use the Snow Blade Mad Saber."

"Father, what do you mean by that man's sword?" Wang Ran asked in disbelief. In his opinion, the sword was a secret passed down from the Wang family. It could never be passed down to outsiders. How could it be passed down? Let others learn.

"I personally went to the Criminal Department to see the wounds of those killers. There is absolutely no mistake. Moreover, that person's sword skills are close to the perfect state."

"Is there really such a master?" Wang Ran said in surprise, "If he practices the Snow Blade Crazy Sword to perfection, doesn't it mean that he is a ninth-grade master?"

"Yes, but if he is just one person, it will be useless even if he comes. I will take action myself, plus my personal guards, who can kill him at the ninth level."

"By the way, you are responsible for checking the identity of that person. Is there any progress?"

Wang Ran replied: "There is no progress at the moment. I have already asked people in Wanhua Pavilion and basically ruled out the suspicion. Even Madam Xue has evidence of alibi."

"Father, do you think it could be Han Xu?" Wang Ran asked tentatively, "He is the son of King Han. Logically speaking, he is not a waste."

Han Xu was listening outside. When he heard Wang Ran doubting himself, he couldn't help but praise his cleverness in his heart.

Next, Wang Qian said: "The nine sons of Longsheng are all different. There are various signs that Han Xu is indeed a waste. Judging from his daily behavior, he indulges in poetry and songs all day long and hangs out in brothels at night. Even if he is just pretending, Yes, he can’t have any other time to practice.”

In fact, what Wang Qian said is not unreasonable. Cultivation is a difficult task. In addition to talent and resources, it also requires great perseverance. Only by persisting for ten years can you achieve something.

Just like Wang Ran, he has shown outstanding talent since he was a child. He began to practice formally at the age of twelve, and has only been in the third level for six years.

Among ordinary people, below the extraordinary level, ninth-grade warriors can be called top masters.

Ordinary people may be able to enter the ninth level after fifty years of hard work. Those with higher talents can enter the ninth level after forty years of hard work. Those who are praised as geniuses will also need thirty years to enter the ninth level.

And a genius like Wang Ran is considered a rare talent among his peers in the entire Dawu Dynasty.

No matter how talented Han Xu was, he would not be able to achieve higher achievements than Wang Ran without investing enough time.

However, Wang Qian miscalculated one thing, and that was the skill download system owned by Han Xu.

With the help of the skill download system, Han Xu does not need to spend time practicing at all. He only needs to wait for the skills to be downloaded, and his cultivation will improve on its own.

No wonder Wang Qian couldn't think of this. I'm afraid no one in this world could think of this.

Han Xu listened to the conversation between father and son outside and laughed several times in his heart. As the saying goes, obscene development is the way to go. Especially with the lessons from the previous life, Han Xu firmly believed in this truth.

As a person, you must be low-key. Even if you have some skills, you must use them at critical moments.

The uniqueness and concealment of the exercise downloading system provided him with sufficiently obscene conditions.

As long as he doesn't show his strength, he won't be remembered by the strong, but when he shines, he will be able to cover everyone.

After listening to Wang Qian's words, Wang Ran nodded thoughtfully. He knew that Wang Qian's speculations were reasonable, but for some reason, he always felt that there was something wrong with Han Xu.

Perhaps it was because he had never been able to figure out why he was forced into the lake by Han Xu's few words. That experience was a lifelong humiliation for him, and his memory was profound and indelible.

Seeing that Wang Ran's brows were still furrowed, Wang Qian said: "If you still have doubts, prove it with actions."

"How to prove it?" Wang Ran said, "His father is a king of a different surname, and his sister is someone favored by His Majesty. It is not wise to attack him now."

Wang Qian said, "You are a child who is inflexible. Isn't the end-of-year assessment of Jiuxiao Academy coming soon?"

When Wang Ran heard this, his eyes began to light up, as if his thoughts were activated and inspiration burst out.

He said, "Father, what you said is very true. The day after tomorrow is the end-of-year assessment. I will arrange someone to attack him. The assessment arena allows students to compete. Even if he is injured, it will not be a big deal."

"Be careful, don't make a big deal."

"Father, don't worry. I will arrange a junior brother who has just entered the first rank. Even if Han Xu is really a waste, he will only need to recuperate for a while after being injured."

"Okay, you can arrange this yourself." Wang Qian said, "The wedding day will be in four days. Next, I have to make full preparations. If there is nothing important, don't let anyone disturb me."

"Okay, father."

When Wang Qian and Wang Ran came out of the secret room and walked away, Han Xu appeared from behind the rockery.

The father and son had no idea that their conspiracy had been heard clearly by Han Xu. Of course, they didn't know what kind of terrible monster they were calculating.

Han Xu activated the vertical cloud ladder and left the Xiaoqi Mansion in an instant.

In the dark night, his eyes were filled with an extremely sharp murderous aura. Wherever he passed, passers-by suddenly felt a chill on their backs and broke out in cold sweat.

"What a Wang Qian, what a queen, since you want to take advantage of my sister's wedding to assassinate her."

"It doesn't matter, I, Han Xu, will come and play with you."
