Chapter 1741 Chat with Du Dezhong

"Wu Fan, you're here?"

Wu Fan just arrived in the game world, and heard Zhao Qi's voice. He turned his head and saw Zhao Qi sitting in his room. Seeing him coming, his face was full of joy.

"Yeah." Wu Fan nodded, walked towards Zhao Qi, and said, "You didn't sleep all night again?"

"I'm waiting for you to come back." Zhao Qi said.

"Okay, I'm back, you can sleep for a while, and you have to travel after dawn." Wu Fan said.

Wu Fan knew that Zhao Qi lacked a sense of security because of a series of things before, but unfortunately, he couldn't stay in the game world forever.

"Yeah." Zhao Qi nodded, and suddenly, she thought of something, and said to Wu Fan: "Oh, yes, Du Dezhong came to see you last night, and I said you went out for something. When you see him after dawn, don't let it slip."

"What did he want to see me for?" Wu Fan asked.

"It shouldn't be anything important." Zhao Qi thought for a while and said: "I said he left after you were gone."

Wu Fan nodded.

Before, Zhao Qi fell asleep under Wu Fan's gaze.

As for Wu Fan, he was still thinking about the game world and the ring, but no one here discussed it with him, so he could only wait until he returned to reality to talk to Liu Yan'er.

After dawn, Zhao Qi did not wake up. With Wu Fan by her side, she was obviously sleeping soundly. Wu Fan did not rush to call Zhao Qi to get up, but went to find Du Dezhong and asked him to wait.

Du Dezhong did not have any opinion on this. He was used to this situation.

"General Wu, I wanted to have a drink with you last night, but you were not in the house." Because he was not in a hurry to leave, Du Dezhong chatted with Wu Fan.

"I went out for something last night." Because Zhao Qi told him in advance, Wu Fan did not show any surprise at Du Dezhong's words.

However, he heard that Du Dezhong just wanted to drink with him. It seems that Zhao Qi was right. Du Dezhong didn't have anything important to do with him.

"Is General Wu going out to investigate the enemy?" Du Dezhong asked directly.

Because Wu Fan had discovered the enemy's ambush in advance, which Du Dezhong and his men had not done, Du Dezhong guessed that Wu Fan went out to investigate the enemy.

"Yeah." Wu Fan nodded.

Since Du Dezhong said so, Wu Fan felt that there was no need to refute it, anyway, this reason made sense.

Sure enough, when Du Dezhong heard Wu Fan's words, he did not show a doubtful expression, but an expression of "as expected": "General Wu, I wonder if there is any danger around us."

Du Dezhong now trusts Wu Fan's intelligence very much, even more than the intelligence sent by his own people, so when he heard that Wu Fan went out to inquire about intelligence last night, Du Dezhong couldn't help but be concerned.

"Not yet." Wu Fan said.

Although Wu Fan left the game world last night, the Black Shadow Four-winged Bird and the Shining Sun Spotted Bird were still "working". They searched outside the inn where Zhao Qi and others were staying, leaving no place untouched. Even at night, their vision was much stronger than that of humans.

"That's good." Du Dezhong nodded when he heard Wu Fan say so.

Since Wu Fan said there was no danger for the time being, there must be no danger. Du Dezhong still trusted Wu Fan's words.

"General Du, what kind of person is the second prince that our princess is about to marry?" Taking this opportunity, Wu Fan asked Du Dezhong about the situation of the second prince of Tianji Kingdom.

Wu Fan went to the capital of Tianji Kingdom this time, not because he really wanted to marry Zhao Qi there. He was going to take Zhao Qi away from marriage, so before that, he naturally had to learn more about the situation of Tianji Kingdom, especially the situation of the second prince.

"This..." Du Dezhong hesitated a little. He was just a general. Although his position was not low, he was "working" for the royal family after all. The second prince was a member of the royal family, and he was also a relatively important person in the royal family. It was obviously inappropriate for him to talk behind his back.

"General Du, don't worry. Today's conversation came from your mouth and entered my ears. I won't spread it to others." Wu Fan saw the concerns in Du Dezhong's heart and said, "Besides, I just have a general understanding of the situation of the second prince, not to find out any secrets."

Hearing what Wu Fan said, Du Dezhong thought for a while and said, "The second prince was named Xi Wang by His Majesty and is quite loved by His Majesty. Your princess will naturally not suffer any grievances if she marries the second prince."

Speaking of this, Du Dezhong paused for a moment and said, "However, the second prince will not wrong your princess, but it's hard to say about Xi Wangfei."

"Xi Wangfei?" Wu Fan asked, "General Du, can you tell me more about it?"

"There's nothing to hide." Du Dezhong said, "The second prince, Prince Xi, is easygoing, but Princess Xi is strong-willed. She comes from a wealthy family in our Tianji country, has a strong background, and is very capable. Your Highness Prince Xi has to obey her. When Your Majesty wanted to arrange a marriage for the second prince and marry your princess, Princess Xi and her people were strongly opposed. However, Your Majesty and the ministers felt that you..."

At this point, Du Dezhong paused for a moment, as if he was organizing his words.

"Your Majesty and ministers think that our Yanfeng Kingdom will not agree, right?" Wu Fan continued Du Dezhong's words.

Du Dezhong did not deny it, nodded, and said: "Yes, at the beginning, your Majesty and ministers all thought that your Yanfeng Kingdom would not agree to this marriage. Princess Xi and her people should have similar ideas. After opposing for a while, they accepted such an arrangement. However, no one expected that your Yanfeng Kingdom actually agreed to this marriage. I heard that when the news of your agreement to this marriage spread to our country, Princess Xi and her people went to find your Majesty and made a big fuss. However, the matter had already been decided at that time. Although your Majesty was a little troubled by this matter, he did not change his mind."

"So, this Princess Xi should be full of hatred towards our princess?" Wu Fan said.

"This is obvious." Du Dezhong said, "The entire Xiwang Mansion is now ruled by Xiwang Consort. Her background and ability even suppress His Royal Highness Xixiwang. But your Princess has an equally impressive background, and she also shoulders the responsibility of peace between the two countries. So, when Xiwangwang and your Princess get married, who will be the boss of Xiwang Mansion?"
