Chapter 168 Follow the King
"This is your storage ring. After I have checked it, I will naturally return it to its original owner."
When he said these words, Lu Fan felt a little bit of pain and reluctance in his heart.
After all, there are really many resources in this storage ring, which is too tempting for him.
Although there is no need to collect resources to redeem points for the time being, resources are needed to recruit and train soldiers.
In addition, there are his own subordinates, the generals of the Zhenbei Army and the three major city guard armies, etc., who all need resources for training.
As the Lord of the North, I naturally need to consider these issues.
But there is nothing I can do if my heart aches and I can’t let go. I can’t let go of my child and can’t trap the wolf.
Compared with these resources, he pays more attention to the task rewards that trigger the tasks.
Hearing Lu Fan's words, Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then a complex expression suddenly appeared on his face.
The long-haired girl behind Gu Qing couldn't help but look up at Lu Fan, with a curious look in her bright eyes.
Gu Qing put the storage ring on his finger again and saluted Lu Fan with his hands clasped in fists.
"In that case, thank you so much, sir!"
As soon as Gu Qing finished speaking, Lu Fan chuckled and said, "Senior, you don't have to be polite."
After saying this, he looked at the long-haired girl behind Gu Qing and pondered:
"Old senior, now that your Gu family has been destroyed, and these guys have been killed by me, the Soul Palace will definitely come to you for trouble.
If you, grandfather and grandson, leave like this, the Soul Palace will never let you go. "
As soon as these words came out, Gu Qing suddenly fell silent, with a look of worry and helplessness that could not be concealed on his face.
Because he knew what Lu Fan said was right.
He clearly knew how terrifying the Soul Palace was, and there was no way he could escape with his great-granddaughter.
And his understanding of the Soul Palace is just the tip of the iceberg.
Just the tip of this iceberg is enough to make people despair, let alone the others.
In addition, the people in the Soul Palace will never give up easily until they get the so-called key.
Therefore, their grandfather and grandson still cannot escape.
Unless someone is willing to protect them and fight against the Soul Palace.
But this is obviously impossible. Who dares to go against the Soul Palace? This is not seeking death.
The forces that were not as powerful as their Gu family could not protect them.
Those who are stronger than their Gu family must know how terrifying the Soul Palace is and will definitely not protect them.
Thinking of this, Gu Qing's face turned gray.
Are their grandfather and grandson destined to die in the hands of the Soul Palace?
Just when Gu Qing felt extremely desperate.
Lu Fan, who had been observing the changes in Gu Qing's expression, chuckled and said:
"Old senior, if you and your grandson don't have a place to stay for the time being, why not follow me?"
"Uh!" This sentence immediately made Gu Qing look stunned, and he didn't react for a while.
Just when Gu Qing was extremely stunned, there were dense footsteps coming from behind.
Hearing the dense footsteps, Gu Qing's expression suddenly changed and he said anxiously:
"Let's go, get out of here first!"
He thought someone from the Soul Palace was catching up again, so a look of fear subconsciously appeared on his face.
When Lu Fan saw this, he immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, my men are here."
Just as Lu Fan finished speaking, Lang Zhengfei rushed over with more than 400 elite Zhenbei Army troops.
After arriving in front of Lu Fan and others, Lang Zhengfei gave Lu Fan a military salute and then said with a smile:
"Your Highness, there was no movement for a long time after the fighting just ended. The general is worried about your safety, so..."
After all, the order given by Lu Fan just now was for them to wait where they were.
Lu Fan chuckled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter!"
After saying that, Lu Fan looked at Gu Qing again, and the fear on Gu Qing's face turned into deep curiosity.
He glanced at Lang Zhengfei and the 400 elite Zhenbei Army, and then couldn't help but asked curiously:
"Sir, I didn't know you were..."
Before Gu Qing could ask, Lang Zhengfei interrupted with an unkind expression:
"This is our Highness the Crown Prince of Daqian, and also the governor of our Northern Territory of Daqian."
Now Lang Zhengfei respects Lu Fan extremely much, so he cannot tolerate others being disrespectful to Lu Fan.
Lu Fan did not stop Lang Zhengfei and allowed Lang Zhengfei to reveal his identity.
After Gu Qing heard Lang Zhengfei reveal Lu Fan's identity, a strange look suddenly appeared on his face.
"Daqian Dynasty?"
He naturally knew about the Daqian Dynasty.
But according to the information he knew, Daqian didn't seem to be very strong, and there weren't many top experts.
But the fighting power that Li Cunxiao and Luo Cheng broke out just now was really terrifying.
When did such a powerful person appear in the Daqian Dynasty?
Just when Gu Qing was secretly surprised, Lu Fan said with a smile: "He is right, I am the Crown Prince of Daqian."
"Since we meet here, it means we are destined, so you can rest assured and stay with me. I will protect you."
While speaking, he pretended to glance at the long-haired girl casually.
His main target was this little girl with the Jiuyintian spirit body. As for Gu Qing, it was just incidental.
Of course, the value of a strong person at the ninth level of the Soul Condensing Realm is undoubted, and it can be considered a big help.
After hearing what Lu Fan said, Gu Qing suppressed his thoughts and said helplessly:
"Your Highness, you know very little about the Soul Palace. They are very, very powerful.
Even our Gu family has not been destroyed easily. I'm afraid you guys... I'm afraid you won't be able to stop the Soul Palace. "
He paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and said:
"You saved my life and my great-granddaughter's life, how can we bring you trouble?"
This sentence is half true and half false.
He really didn't want to bring trouble to Lu Fan and Daqian, but on the other hand, he was still on guard.
After all, it was the first time they met Lu Fan, and there was no friendship at all.
But Lu Fan was willing to protect them and even fight against the Soul Palace for them.
If he said there was no conspiracy, he would never believe it, so he politely refused.
Although Gu Qing didn't say it clearly, Lu Fan guessed what he was thinking at a glance, and immediately shook his head and laughed.
It seems that if he doesn't make it clear today, this guy will not let down his guard.
Although he can let Li Cunxiao forcibly suppress Gu Qing and take the grandfather and grandson back.
But the task triggered by the system is to subdue this little girl and let him use her.
So forced suppression will only have the opposite effect, which is not what he wants to see.
Looking at Lu Fan who shook his head and chuckled, Gu Qing subconsciously became nervous and uneasy.
After all, he had witnessed the fighting power of Li Cunxiao and Luo Cheng with his own eyes.
If Lu Fan was dissatisfied with what he said just now, then it would be the end.
Thinking of this, he immediately opened his mouth to explain, so as not to make Lu Fan angry.
However, before he could speak, Lu Fan exhaled lightly, looked at him and smiled...
