Moreover, when it comes to true martial strength, the royal family does not hold too much of an advantage.
This time, however, the Leng family has already fallen into a disadvantage, and Leng Fei Fan has been captured by the royal family. It is almost impossible to rescue Leng Fei Fan without paying some price.
“You all wait here. I’ll go to the royal palace and have a word with Liu Xuan Rui. I’ll rescue Fei Fan first.”
With a cold snort, Leng Po Gong knew that continuing to think here was futile, so he immediately left the Leng family and headed straight for the royal palace.
In the royal palace.
Upon learning of Leng Po Gong's arrival, Liu Xuan Rui immediately summoned him.
“Old man Leng Po Gong, I pay my respects to Your Majesty.”
After entering the grand hall, Leng Po Gong cupped his fists towards Liu Xuan Rui and angrily said, “Your Majesty, I came here because I heard that the head of my Leng family, Leng Fei Fan, has been imprisoned in the heavenly dungeon by Your Majesty. May I ask what crime my family head has committed to be treated like a criminal?”
Leng Po Gong's voice was loud, filled with questioning tones, echoing in the grand hall and causing a dizzying sensation.
In the Tian Wu Continent, martial power is revered.
In the entire Da Wei Dynasty, the pinnacle consists of Wu Wang strong practitioners. As an established Wu Wang of the Leng family, Leng Po Gong showed no fear even when facing Liu Xuan Rui.
Because he knew very well that the royal family's strength could not do anything to him.
Seeing Leng Po Gong come in so arrogant and questioning, the steward Huang beside Liu Xuan Rui turned pale with anger and scolded, “Leng Po Gong, this is the discussion hall. Show some respect to His Majesty!”
Leng Po Gong glanced at Huang Huan disdainfully and snorted, “Just a eunuch. I'm speaking with His Majesty; do you have the right to interrupt?”
“You... outrageous!” Huang Huan trembled with rage and wanted to say more, but was stopped by Liu Xuan Rui raising his hand. Liu Xuan Rui smiled and said, “Old family head Leng, there is no need to be angry. The reason my royal family has detained family head Leng Fei Fan is that he interfered in the investigation of the City Guard Office, which angered the three major forces: the Alchemy Pavilion, Weapon Hall, and Bloodline Holy Land. Now, the three forces wish to cut off cooperation with my royal family. To quell their anger, I had no other choice.”
Liu Xuan Rui smiled, but he was extremely angry inside.
The Leng family was too proud.
Even if Leng Po Gong was a Wu Wang strong practitioner, he, Liu Xuan Rui, was after all the emperor of the Da Wei Dynasty, wielding immense power. How could he allow others to humiliate him like this?
“No choice?” Leng Po Gong coldly snorted, “The three forces targeting the royal family is your royal family's matter. You can't vent your frustrations on my Leng family, can you? I have heard that my Leng family head Leng Fei Fan was merely cooperating with the City Guard Office's investigation. Even if there were issues, the fault would lie with the City Guard Office. How can you punish my Leng family?”
Liu Xuan Rui smiled slightly, “If family head Leng truly was cooperating with the City Guard Office's investigation, then I naturally would not target him. But according to my investigation, it seems this matter is not so simple.”
As he spoke, Liu Xuan Rui directly took out a letter from his body and tossed it into Leng Po Gong's hands: “This is a letter from family head Leng Fei Fan to Deputy Commander Geng of the City Guard Office. It does not seem to be merely cooperation with the investigation as you stated.”
When Leng Po Gong opened it, he saw commands from Leng Fei Fan to Geng De Yuan, demanding him to ensure Qin Chen's imprisonment and absolutely not let anyone rescue him.
Leng Po Gong's expression darkened, and he felt a strong urge to strike Leng Fei Fan down. This Leng Fei Fan was too careless; he had left such a letter behind, simply a fool.
