Chapter 1017 Wu Fan and Zhao Qi appear

"Hasn't come back yet? How could he not come back yet? It's been so long, the matter should have been done, what's wrong with Liu Tong, where did he go?" Dai Liang said to himself, with a puzzled look on his face and a little uneasy in his heart.

Logically speaking, Wu Fan and the Seventh Princess had no guards around them. Even though Wu Fan had some skills, Liu Tong himself was quite strong and had many guards with him, so there was no reason for the operation to fail.

However, Dai Liang couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart after not hearing from Liu Tong for such a long time, and as time passed, the uneasiness in his heart became heavier.

Could it be that the operation really failed?

Did Liu Tong and his team encounter an accident during the operation?

Otherwise, why didn't they hear from him for so long?

Dai Liang was sitting restlessly in his living room, feeling like he was living a year.

"How is it? Have Liu Tong and his team come back?" Unable to bear it any longer, Dai Liang called the housekeeper over again and asked the same question for the eighth time.

"My lord, Commander Liu and his team haven't come back yet." The housekeeper also answered the same question for the eighth time.

"It's already afternoon. A day has passed. How come there is still no news from Liu Tong?" Dai Liang was getting more and more irritated and uneasy.

At this moment, one of Dai Liang's personal soldiers ran in, first glanced at the housekeeper, and then said to Dai Liang: "Sir, Wu Fan and the Seventh Princess are back!"

"What?!" Dai Liang stood up in shock when he heard the news, his face full of disbelief.

Dai Liang didn't expect that he didn't wait for the news from Liu Tong and other guards, but waited for the news from Wu Fan and the Seventh Princess. This situation was something he didn't expect.

How did Wu Fan and the Seventh Princess come back? Shouldn't they have died in the hands of Liu Tong and his men at this time? How could they come back safely?

Could it be that Liu Tong and his men really missed?

"Sir, Wu Fan and the Seventh Princess are already outside the city." The personal soldier said again.

"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" Dai Liang walked towards the personal soldier and asked anxiously.

"I'm sure I'm not mistaken." The guard said, "Wu Fan and the Seventh Princess are in the refugee camp outside the city."

"In the refugee camp?" Dai Liang was slightly stunned.

"Yes." The guard replied, "Wu Fan and the Seventh Princess are distributing porridge to save the people. I saw it clearly."

"Hehe, this princess is kind and can win people's hearts." Dai Liang sneered.

Although he felt that the Seventh Princess was acting, since the Seventh Princess appeared again, and in a public place, it means that Liu Tong and others' actions have indeed failed. The reason why Liu Tong has not appeared is easy to guess.

Either he was killed by Wu Fan and others, or he was captured by Wu Fan.

If it is the first possibility, it is not bad. Even if Liu Tong is the head of the guards in Dai Liang's mansion, as long as Liu Tong and those guards are dead, Dai Liang can completely put the blame on Liu Tong, saying that he has a grudge against the court, and when he learned that the princess came, he was waiting for an opportunity to retaliate, but he was unaware of it.

Before Liu Tong and his men set out, Dai Liang told them that if the operation failed, he did not want to see anyone captured, and this was also out of consideration for this situation.

But things are not absolute. Liu Tong and his men may not have been killed or committed suicide. They may have been captured by Wu Fan. After all, sometimes it is not easy to commit suicide. If Liu Tong and his men were really captured, then things would be troublesome. Before, his personal soldiers were captured, and now his guards were captured. As long as one of them could not bear the pressure and confessed Dai Liang, even if he denied it at that time, he could not get away with it. Assassinating the princess was a capital crime!

When Dai Liang thought of this possibility, he became panicked. Although he usually trusted Liu Tong, Dai Liang did not dare to guarantee that Liu Tong would really obey his orders and swear to die rather than surrender. Besides, even if Liu Tong died, the other guards were not dead, and he would still be in trouble.

Wu Fan and the Seventh Princess must be killed before the matter is exposed!

Thinking of this, Dai Liang's eyes showed a hint of determination and murderous intent.

"Let's go back." Wu Fan said to Zhao Qi who was cooking porridge, with a little helplessness in his tone.

When the two of them returned to the city, they passed by the refugee camp. Zhao Qi saw someone cooking porridge and stopped walking. She said that as the princess of Yanfeng Kingdom, she also had a responsibility for the people under her rule who suffered such a disaster. She felt guilty and insisted on cooking porridge for the refugees herself.

Wu Fan did not agree with Zhao Qi's sudden sense of guilt.

Zhao Qi was just a princess. Although she was loved by the old emperor, she did not have much say and decision-making power in national affairs. After all, Yanfeng Kingdom was not ruled by women, and there was a rule that the harem could not interfere in politics. The current situation of Yanfeng Kingdom was caused by God, the old emperor, and the ministers of the court, and had nothing to do with her, Zhao Qi.

However, Zhao Qi insisted on doing something to alleviate his guilt. At the same time, he could also show his presence in front of the refugees and tell these refugees that the court had not given up on them and was very sad about their plight.

"No hurry, there's nothing to do when I go back anyway, why not help out here?" Zhao Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Wu Fan with a slight breath.

She had been spoiled since she was a child, and she had never done such heavy work. In less than half an hour, she was so tired that her face turned pale, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her breathing became much heavier.

"But you can't seem to help much here." Wu Fan said to Zhao Qi, pointing to the people next to him.

Zhao Qi looked along Wu Fan's gaze and found that the servants who were originally cooking porridge were so scared that they dared not breathe after she came to "help". When they were doing things next to them, they were more clumsy than before.

Obviously, her "help" not only did not provide any help, but also affected other people's work.

In fact, this is not surprising. After the two arrived here, they had already stated their identities, and the identity of Princess Zhao Qi would obviously make others feel restrained and uncomfortable.

"Let's go back first and leave this to them." Wu Fan said to Zhao Qi again.

Zhao Qi wanted to insist, but seeing the servants next to her were afraid of her, she sighed slightly, put down the objects in her hands, and nodded helplessly.

"Okay."

Afterwards, without waiting for Wu Fan to say anything else, Zhao Qi walked back by himself, looking dejected.
