Chapter 399
Zhu Zhengqing was confused. Now that Wuma An is dead, he lacks a strong general!
“Okay. I’ll come after changing my clothes.”
After changing his robe, Zhu Zhengqing walked through the hall, when he saw the person he didn’t want to see the most!
Wuma Cao!
He saw Che Hongliang, along with Celestial Master Ying Wei. It seemed that they were discussing something.
Wuma Cao is not as handsome as his son Wuma An. His fierce face bears the traces of the years. Even when he meets the Emperor, he wears battle armor!
If he told Wuma Cao that his son was killed due to him, he would probably kill the prince.
“Why did General Wuma come back suddenly?” Zhu Chengxuan, who was sitting on the throne, asked curiously.
Wuma Cao cupped his hands and said, “Report to Your Majesty, I have received a secret report from the Celestial Master. That’s why I hurried back!”
Wuma Cao’s voice was extremely loud.
Zhu Chengxuan had a displeased expression on his face, ‘The Celestial Master was making too much of a fuss.’
“Celestial Master, General Wuma is guarding the frontier, how can you make him come here?”
The master was terrified: “Your Majesty, it is important to be prudent. With General Wuma here, the royal family’s hunting will be safer.”
Wuma Cao cupped his hands and shouted: “Don’t worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to protect your safety!”
“Then I’ll have to rely on General Wuma.” Zhu Chengxuan was also helpless. A hint of irritability flashed across his eyebrows.
“Prince, there will be a royal hunt in three days. It’s your responsibility.” Zhu Chengxuan said to his son. He was trying to give him a chance to show off in front of the royal family.
Zhu Zhengqing cupped his hands and said, “Understood.”
Zhu Chengxuan nodded, then glanced at everyone: “This emperor doesn’t want to hear anyone talking about this bloody glow. Those who violate the order will be beheaded.”
The four of them knelt in unison: “Emperor’s will is our law!”
“Leave.”
The four of them bowed and exited the hall. Zhu Zhengqing stepped a little faster as he wanted to avoid Wuma Cao, lest he figures that something is off.
However, this made Wuma Cao even more curious. In the past, the prince was never late to offer him compliments, yet now he is trying to avoid him.
“Prince.” Wuma Cao shouted with a smile.
Zhu Zhengqing stopped and cursed secretly, but he still turned around and smiled: “General Wuma!”
“Why isn’t my son accompanying the Prince?” Wuma Cao asked curiously.
“Oh, I didn’t see him today.” Zhu Zhengqing said with a smile, ‘You will never find his corpse in your life.’
Wuma Cao smiled: “That’s weird, he’s not at home either.”
“Maybe he is at some girl’s house.”
Zhu Zhengqing’s words convinced Wuma Cao.
“I will not disturb the prince anymore. I hope that the prince will take care of my son.” Wuma Cao bowed his hands.
Zhu Zhengqing smiled brightly: “Worry not!”
Watching Wuma Cao leave, Zhu Zhengqing breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was a secret operation today, and no one knew.
“Prince.” Che Hongliang suddenly stepped aside, his small eyes revealing shrewdness.
Zhu Zhengqing was shocked, and squeezed out a smile: “Master Che.”
Che Hongliang said with a light smile: “Didn’t the prince take the son of the general and a few subordinates to play outside?”
Zhu Zhengqing couldn’t wait to chop the bastard in front of him. This guy was trying to spy on him!
And what happened today is also known to him, how can this be good?
Seeing that the prince did not speak, Che Hongliang said indifferently: “Just now, Prince told the General that you don’t know about Wuma An’s whereabouts, which is a bit…”
“Master Che must have some misunderstanding.” He couldn’t even smile this time.
“If the general knew that the prince was lying, I’m afraid he would go to the Emperor.”
“What are you trying to say?” Zhu Zhengqing whispered.
Che Hongliang didn’t expect the prince’s reaction to be so big. It was just a test at first, but now it seems that something has happened. Otherwise, the prince wouldn’t be so nervous. ‘Could it be that Wuma An is dead?’
“Prince has a lot of responsibilities, I am afraid that Prince will be too busy.”
‘Don’t you just want Hou’s plane? I will give it to you, so keep your mouth shut.’
“It turns out that this is the matter, Master Che. After the royal hunt is over, I will go and report this to the emperor.”
This is what Che Hongliang wanted: “Then I should thank the Prince.”
“Walk carefully Master Che.”
Watching Che Hongliang leave, Zhu Zhengqing could not wait to take out his sword and kill him. Today, he was blackmailed!
‘If only Wuma An wasn’t dead, how could I be threatened by Che Hongliang?’
‘The top priority now is to get the royal hunt done. After that, I will find a way to get the Donghuang and the Nuwa bloodline, and those two women.’
‘This matter is not over, after all, this is something more important than the throne.’
Three days passed quickly.
The people in the city celebrated the royal hunt like a festival. For them, this was a big day.
The more hunters, the more brilliant the royal family, and the wealthier the Tianfu.
Of course, hunting is also an opportunity for the princes to show off their skills. Although they are the prince, it is possible to dismiss them.
All the members of the royal family added up to more than 2,000 people. Adding the generals and guards, the number reached tens of thousands.
Zhu Zhengqing is the person in charge of this hunt.
Just when Zhu Zhengqing was busy preparing, Wuma Cao came. He wore armor, as he was in charge of safety this time.
“Prince, have you seen my son in the past few days?” Wuma Cao asked in a deep voice. There was anger in his eyes.
Zhu Zhengqing felt the anger of Wuma Cao and immediately greeted him with a smile: “General Wuma, this prince has been busy all day in the preparation of the hunt. I’ve no clue about Wuma An.”
“That’s strange. After this hunt is over, I’ll ask the Emperor for an answer.” Wuma Cao was worried because it is unusual for his son to disappear suddenly.
‘It must have something to do with the prince.’
Zhu Zhengqing hurriedly comforted: “General Wuma, don’t worry after the hunt is over, this prince will go and find Wuma An. Maybe he is with some girl.”
“Then I hope that the prince will remember his words.” Wuma Cao is not so easy to deceive. Even when he is back, his son has not come back to meet him. Which girl can charm him like this?
Seeing Wuma Cao leave, Zhu Zhengqing breathed a sigh of relief. His heart was filled with worries.
When the auspicious time arrived, Zhu Zhengqing rode a unicorn at the front of the team and shouted, “Let’s go!”
