Chapter 1799 Shao Haogang rescues

Zhao Qi in the room was startled and said, "Wu Fan is indeed here, but I need his protection now and can't let him leave. If there is anything, General Du can talk to Wu Fan tomorrow."

"Your Highness, I just have a few words to ask General Wu, and I won't delay him for too long." Du Dezhong said, "If Your Highness is afraid, General Wu and I can talk at the door of Your Highness."

Du Dezhong had no doubts about Zhao Qi's words.

As the princess of Yanfeng, Zhao Qi was assassinated many times along the way and must have been frightened.

And the man who just escaped was probably coming for the princess of Yanfeng, and he was unable to keep him. It was normal for the princess of Yanfeng to turn back or have accomplices. Du Dezhong could fully understand Zhao Qi's emotions, so he tried his best to go along with Zhao Qi and take care of Zhao Qi's mood.

Zhao Qi in the room was in a dilemma. If Wu Fan was here, it would be okay to let Wu Fan go out and talk to Du Dezhong, but Wu Fan was not here now, so who would go to see Du Dezhong?

Wu Fan's sudden disappearance was Wu Fan's secret, and ordinary people would not let him know. Moreover, Du Dezhong was from Tianji Country. If he knew this secret, he would definitely get into trouble.

So, no matter what, Zhao Qi could not let Du Dezhong know that Wu Fan was not here at this time.

But, what reason should he use to reject Du Dezhong?

Zhao Qi did not think it through for a while, and could only worry secretly in his heart.

At this time, Shao Haogang came over and whispered in Du Dezhong's ear: "General Du, don't see General Wu tonight."

"Why?" Du Dezhong asked.

"Because General Wu is not here at this time." Shao Haogang said.

"General Wu is not here?" Du Dezhong was surprised: "But your princess just said that he was in this room."

"That was our princess who lied to you." Shao Haogang said: "In fact, General Wu had already gone out. Otherwise, with General Wu's agility, the villain would have been discovered long ago. I think General Du has seen how vigilant General Wu is along the way."

Du Dezhong nodded subconsciously.

He had seen Wu Fan's skills. He was definitely not weak. He was even stronger than the injured General Shao in front of him. Shao Haogang could find the villain sneaking into the room, so Wu Fan should have found it.

But the fact is that Wu Fan did not find it, and he never showed up when they were fighting with the villain. This is indeed a bit abnormal. Even if he wanted to protect the princess, he should not be silent and not show his face.

Thinking about it this way, Wu Fan may not be here.

"Where did General Wu go? Why did your princess lie?" Du Dezhong asked.

"General Wu went out to explore the surrounding environment." Shao Haogang said seriously: "We encountered too many dangers along the way. In order to ensure the safety of your princess, General Wu had to go out to explore the surrounding environment. After all, this is your Tianji Kingdom. Our General Wu naturally trusts you, General Du, but he may not trust other generals of Tianji Kingdom. Therefore, even if he lives in the city, General Wu is not at ease and still has to explore the surrounding situation. He has not returned yet."

Du Dezhong frowned slightly, but felt that what Shao Haogang said made sense.

Wu Fan was able to find out in advance that someone was ambushing on the road they had to pass, so he was naturally very good at intelligence. Since their Yanfeng country team left Yanfeng country, they have been ambushed several times and suffered heavy losses. In order to ensure that the princess was delivered, Wu Fan naturally could not be careless. Even after entering the territory of Tianji country, the wedding party was still ambushed several times. Therefore, it was normal for Wu Fan to remain vigilant along the way. He was on good terms with Yuanlong and trusted Yuanlong very much, and felt that living here was very safe.

But Wu Fan did not know Yuanlong, so it was naturally not safe for Yuanlong, so it was normal for him to go out and explore the environment.

"Then why did your princess lie?" Du Dezhong said.

He was a little confused about this.

"Of course, I'm afraid that you, General Du, will misunderstand us and think that we don't trust you." Shao Haogang said, "Moreover, our General Wu has his own special way of gathering intelligence, which obviously cannot be leaked."

Du Dezhong thought of how Wu Fan had been able to find out that someone was ambushing them so far in advance, and nodded subconsciously. He also sent scouts out at that time, but there was nothing to find, but Wu Fan was able to find out. It is normal to say that Wu Fan has a special way of gathering intelligence.

However, this also reminded Du Dezhong that although he recognized Wu Fan very much, Wu Fan was from Yanfeng Country after all. If Wu Fan used his special way of gathering intelligence to find out the confidential information of their Tianji Country, wouldn't it mean that their confidential information was at risk of being leaked?

As a senior general, Du Dezhong knew too much about the importance of intelligence. For example, on the road before, if Wu Fan had not been able to find out the ambush of those people in advance, then they would most likely be ambushed, resulting in heavy losses, and even the danger of annihilation.

But it was different with the intelligence. They discovered the enemy's actions in advance and completely seized the initiative. They approached the enemy in advance and caught the enemy off guard.

These two different results, one positive and one negative, reflect the importance of intelligence.

At this moment, Du Dezhong was too worried about this matter, and he even lost the intention to ask Wu Fan.

In fact, Du Dezhong wanted to find Wu Fan, just to ask Wu Fan if he had seen the appearance of the person who lurked in, and there was nothing else, but at this moment, he was worried about the intelligence, so he temporarily lost the intention to ask.

"Okay, I understand." Du Dezhong said, he arched his hands to Shao Haogang and said, "Then we will go out first, and you should rest early."

"General Du, take care." Shao Haogang said.

Shao Haogang didn't know that the excuse he made up casually actually attracted Du Dezhong's attention, but when he saw that Du Dezhong no longer insisted on looking for Wu Fan, he was secretly relieved.

Then, Shao Haogang looked in the direction of Zhao Qi's room and said, "Your Highness, you should rest early, and I will go back first."

"Okay, please trouble General Shao." Zhao Qi said in the room.

"You are too polite, Princess. This is what I should do." Shao Haogang replied.

Afterwards, Shao Haogang returned to his room. Zhao Qi, who was in the room, finally relaxed when she heard that there was no more noise outside.
