The prince is very cruel

Chapter 228

Yu Dilong smiled bitterly, "Sir, we even sneaked into Prince Feng's mansion to investigate, but there was no trace of Princess Nanyin. We also tracked Pei Xingwen, but he never secretly met with Princess Nanyin."

"Now the princess has truly disappeared from the face of the earth. After the incident at Qingping Temple was exposed, an invisible force was driving the whole thing."

Guan Ning gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and his eyes were more serious than ever.

At the beginning, if Pei Xingwen could help, that would be the best strategy, but if that didn't work, then he would find Pei Nanyin and snatch her away, which would be the middle strategy. Now, there was only the worst strategy left.

"How's the investigation into Du Peng's whereabouts going?"

Yu Dilong raised his head and said, "Prince, Du Peng rarely goes out recently. Whenever he does, he is followed by fifty guards. And because of the precedents set by Zhao Huan and Zhao Qing, the court has also investigated him this time. There are rumors that there are palace guards secretly protecting him, but we don't know if it's true or not!"

Hearing this, Guan Ning's face completely sank to the bottom?

There is no smoke without fire. It makes sense that the imperial court sent the imperial guards.

He was silent for a long, long time.

"Walk."

"Yu Dilong follows me, and the others stay at home."

"Yes!"

After leaving Guan Mansion, he personally went to Zhao Mansion to check out the situation.

This place is extremely luxurious and covers a large area. It is more magnificent than Prince Feng’s Palace and is full of lush vegetation.

At this moment, the house has begun to be decorated with lights and colorful lanterns. A large number of servants are cleaning the door lintels. Various carriages are pulled into the house for standby use. The number of people coming to visit every day is like a swarm of fish.

The restaurants within a few miles of the Zhao Mansion were all full of people from prominent families who had come from other places to attend the wedding of Zhao Tai's adopted son.

They may not know what is behind this, but they know that Zhao Tai is the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and they need to curry favor with him. They must become a dog of the Zhao family even if it means sharpening their heads!

Guan Ning witnessed all this, his eyes extremely cold.

The feud between him and the Zhao family can be said to be long-lasting. Others might have swallowed their anger, but Guan Ning would not!

"Prince, it's Du Peng!" Yu Dilong suddenly exclaimed.

Guan Ning quickly covered his face with one hand: "Don't look."

Yu Dilong quickly did as he was told.

Du Peng left the mansion with a happy face, followed by fifty burly soldiers.

"Congratulations, General Du, congratulations, General Du!" The surroundings were filled with compliments.

"Hahaha, congratulations, congratulations." Du Peng was in high spirits and kept returning the greetings.

He had met Pei Nanyin once many years ago and felt greedy for her, but at that time she was the fiancée of Zhao Huan, the eldest son of the Zhao family, so he dared not show it.

But now that both of the Zhao family's biological sons are dead, and good things have suddenly happened to him, how can he not be excited? Even though Pei Nanyin has a bad reputation now, and she once stayed in the same room with Guan Ning for a whole night.

But he still didn't care and vowed to get Pei Nanyin.

To some extent, he was even grateful to Guan Ning for killing two legitimate heirs for him, but he didn't know that he was just a pawn in Zhao Tai's hands.

Wait for people to go away.

Guan Ning quickly stood up and threw a string of copper coins onto the table in the teahouse.

"go!"

He acted decisively and followed quietly.

The two sides were separated by a distance of twenty meters. Du Peng rode a tall horse and went all the way out of the city.

Guan Ning didn't expect that he was so lucky. He came here to scout the place, but he met Du Peng who was out and about to leave the capital. He was overjoyed, but soon realized that this would be a fleeting opportunity!

I bought a bamboo hat along the way, put it on my head, and then followed him out of the city.

"Prince, he's heading towards the Longzhong official road, which leads to the Yuanshan Martial Arts Arena. The three thousand guards Zhao Tai brought back are stationed there, so that's where he should be going."

"It's only ten miles away. If we don't take action during this period, it will be extremely difficult to catch him when he reaches the military camp." Yu Dilong said eagerly.

Leaving the capital is an opportunity given by God!

Guan Ning nodded and said steadily: "No rush, let's take a look first."
