Chapter 5418 Exploitation

"Reporting to the Lord, I only know..."

Gu Mie lowered his head and answered respectfully, telling everything he knew about what had happened in the Ji family.

But all he knew was what happened before he fell into a coma.

As for the fact that Zhang Yifeng and others disguised themselves as Chang Sheng and left, and took Lu Shang away, he knew nothing about it.

"Heh, it seems that the Ji family has been harboring evil intentions for a long time. The master's choice this time is correct."

"Not only has he secretly hidden such a powerful expert, he is even secretly communicating with the enemy country!"

"It's a pity that we failed to remove this nail that was planted in the empire in time. Now he has become powerful."

Gu Fa had a sinister look on his face and spoke in a cold voice.

"Sir, the body of Lu Shang, the son of Marquis Qingbei, was found here!"

Suddenly, a voice came into Gufa's ears, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

When he flashed to the side of the man, Gu Fa saw the corpse that Zhang Yifeng had disguised as Lu Shang.

Looking at the cold air emanating from the wound of the corpse, Gu Fa's lips curled up into a strange smile.

"Oh, I was just wondering who to send to attack the Snow Country, but I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain."

The current plan is to send troops to attack the Snow Country, but Gufa does not want to consume the royal military force because of this matter.

But now that we have Lu Shang's body, we can use it to allow Qingbei Hou to attack the Snow Country.

Whether or not they can conquer the Snow Country, it will be a win-win situation for the royal family.

After all, Qingbei Hou, like the Ji family, refused to accept the master's recruitment.

Originally, he was planning to get rid of the Ji family first, and then look for an opportunity to get rid of Qingbei Hou as well.

But now, although the Ji family has escaped, Qingbei Hou has become a pawn that they can use.

"Haha, send this body to Qingbei Marquis Mansion. I don't need to teach you what to do next."

Gu Fa sneered and instructed the dark shadow beside him.

"Don't worry, sir. I will send the body to the Qingbei Marquis Mansion right away."

The person beside him bowed and accepted the order, then picked up Lu Shang's body and disappeared on the spot.

"Gu Mie, you are the only one who survived this operation. According to the master's rules, you would definitely die."

"But now I can decide to give you a chance to make amends."

"When Qingbei Hou leads his troops to attack the Snow Country, you will go with him and wait for an opportunity to kill Qingbei Hou."

Gu Fa turned his head, took a deep look at Gu Mie who was struggling to get up, and said in a deep voice.

"As you command, I will not let you down, my Lord and my Lord!"

Gu Mie lowered his head, clenched his fists, and responded in a concentrated voice.

"Humph, go back and recuperate!"

Gu Fa snorted coldly, and then his figure disappeared from the spot.

At the same time, the other black shadows that accompanied them also disappeared.

"Damn the Snow Tribe, damn the Ji family!"

After everyone disappeared, Gu Mie smashed the wall beside him with a powerful punch, his eyes filled with rising anger.

At the same time, in the Qingbei Marquis Mansion in the imperial city, Lu Ji, with a dignified look on his face, was waiting in the study.

He had instructed his servants that as soon as Lu Shang returned to the mansion, he should be sent to the study to await the punishment according to the family rules.

Lu Ji had already heard from his subordinates about the stupid things Lu Shang had done in Zui Xiang Lou.

Lu Ji must teach this good-for-nothing son a lesson.

But after waiting for a long time at the mansion, it was already late at night and Lu Shang still hadn't come back. Lu Ji couldn't help feeling angry.

It seems that he has not disciplined this brat enough recently, and now he dares to hide and not go home.

Just as Lu Ji was waiting angrily, hurried footsteps were heard outside the study.

Then the study door was pushed open.

"Why, but that brat is back?"

Lu Ji put down the military book in his hand and asked the servant who rushed in with a solemn face.

"No, no, sir..."

The servant's face was full of fear, and he stammered and couldn't utter complete words.

Seeing this, Lu Ji was shocked and stood up suddenly from his chair.

"What on earth has happened? Why are you so panicked?"

Lu Ji widened his eyes and shouted angrily at the servant.

"Report, report to the Marquis, the people in the palace have brought the young Marquis' body back..."

The servant was frightened by Lu Ji's aura, and hurriedly lowered his head and took a deep breath, then told Lu Ji the sad news.

"what?!"

Lu Ji's pupils suddenly dilated and he shouted angrily.

After saying this, without waiting for the servants to respond, Lu Ji punched the wall of the study and rushed straight to the reception room of the marquis' mansion.

Concerned about his son's safety, Lu Ji rushed into the reception room in just a few breaths.

At this moment, a man in black was half-kneeling on the ground in the reception room.

Next to him was a corpse covered with a white cloth.

"what happened!"

After Lu Ji rushed to the reception room, he immediately roared angrily.

"Lord Qingbei Hou, you are finally here!"

The figure half-kneeling on the ground turned his head and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"I'm asking you what's going on!"

Lu Ji came up to him with a dignified look on his face and picked the man up with one hand.

"Qing, Lord Qingbeihou, I know you are very angry about the loss of your beloved son, but please calm down."

The royal guardian who was brought up swallowed his saliva and spoke with a trembling voice.

When Lu Ji heard this, his fingers trembled slightly, but he still let the person go.

After being put down, the royal guardian hurriedly lifted the white cloth on the ground, revealing the fake body of Lu Shang.

When he saw his son's face and the familiar aura lingering on his body, Lu Ji suddenly froze in place.

"Lord Qingbei Hou, we found the body of the young marquis in the Ji family."

"In addition to the young marquis, the imperial general Chang Sheng and his soldiers all died in the Ji family."

"According to our observations, the Ji family must have colluded with the Snow Clan to murder the young marquis and General Chang Sheng."

The royal guardian said this, pointing to the penetrating wound on Lu Shang's chest.

At this time, there was still a faint sense of frost on the wound.

Lu Ji's palm trembled as he covered the wound and he immediately felt the chill.

As the Marquis of Qingbei in the Empire, he had fought with the Snow Clan before, so he naturally knew that this was the injury caused by the Snow Clan's unique innate coldness.

"Impossible! The Ji family and my Lu family are old friends. How could they kill my son?"

Lu Ji roared angrily, unwilling to believe the words coming out of his mouth.

"Master Qingbei Hou, the facts are right in front of you. If you don't believe it, you can come with me to the Ji family to check it out in person."

"There are still some branches of the Ji family who have not escaped. You may be able to learn more comprehensive information from them."

The royal guardian had a look of grief on his face and advised in a deep voice.

Lu Ji did not reply, but just knelt on the ground and hugged his son's body tightly.
