A few days later, Wu Xuanran grew anxious when he saw that Eunuch He and the others had not returned. He quickly sent people out to search.
They found them very quickly, but they only found the corpses of Eunuch He and the others.
Linlong had left them behind on purpose.
"Your Majesty, Eunuch He and his men were completely annihilated, including the King of South Jin, the Six Dog Guards, and the Six Wolfhounds!"
"What? Completely annihilated?" Wu Xuanran's eyes widened when he heard the news.
It was not just him. Everyone around him was in the same state.
Eunuch He was an expert in the palace. Together with the King of South Jin and two other level-five warriors, they had thought that there were only a handful of people in the entire Wu Kingdom who could kill them. They had not expected to be completely annihilated.
"Did you find any traces?" Wu Xuanran frowned.
"There are signs that Tang Li's Rune Wooden Man killed them," the informant said.
The informant was none other than General Qi.
"Is this true?" Wu Xuanran asked.
"Absolutely!" General Qi nodded.
"Damn Tang Li!" Wu Xuanran could not help but roar in anger. As he spoke, he punched the throne beneath him.
If it had been anyone else, he would have been suspicious. However, General Qi was certain that it was Tang Li's doing.
Of course, Linlong had left these traces on purpose. If he had wanted to, General Qi would not have been able to tell that it was the Rune Wooden Man's doing.
"Tang Li is only a level-three warrior. No matter how strong he is, he is only as strong as the Rune Wooden Man. How could he have killed Eunuch He and the others?" Wu Xuanran asked doubtfully.
"I don't know. I think Eunuch He and the others fell into his trap," General Qi said.
He had suffered at Linlong's hands when they had gone to deal with him.
"Father, send more people to hunt him down. I don't believe that we can't catch him!" Wu Anbang said coldly.
"That's easy for you to say. Now that the Dog Guards are gone, how are we going to catch him?" Wu Xuanran frowned.
"This …" Wu Anbang was speechless upon hearing Wu Xuanran's words.
"Everyone, is there any other way to deal with Tang Li?" Wu Xuanran asked the others.
Lin Long had killed so many of his men, how could he let Lin Long go?
The others looked at each other when they heard Wu Xuanran's words. However, no one stood forward to say anything. It was clear that they were all helpless.
Wu Xuan Ran's brows knit together even more tightly when he saw this.
At this moment, someone suddenly said, "Your Majesty, this humble subject has a plan."
"Oh, what plan do you have?" Wu Xuanran immediately looked towards this person and asked.
This person was called Li Ding. Although he was only a civil official, he was very resourceful.
"Tang Li and the Seventh Princess seem to have a good relationship. I think we can use the Seventh Princess to threaten him and force him to show himself. This way, we can set up a trap to capture him." Li Ding said.
"You want me to use my own daughter to threaten him?" Hearing this, Wu Xuanran's face immediately revealed a sullen expression.
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. I am not asking you to sacrifice the Seventh Princess." Li Ding hurriedly said.
"Then what exactly do you want to do?" Hearing this, Wu Xuanran's expression softened slightly.
"It's very simple. Let the Seventh Princess and Lin Guanghan get married. Tang Li will definitely not be satisfied when he sees them getting married and will definitely come to destroy it. When that time comes, we can set up a trap to capture him." Li Ding smiled.
"This is a good plan." Wu Xuanran's eyes instantly brightened.
"This is a good plan." The others nodded in agreement.
"What if Tang Li doesn't know?" Someone asked worriedly.
"Don't worry. When the time comes, we just need to spread this news throughout the entire Wu Kingdom. How can he not know?" Li Ding smiled again.
"Mm, this is a good plan." Wu Xuanran nodded again.
"This is indeed feasible. However, there are many experts in the imperial palace. How would Tang Li dare to kill his way in?" Someone was worried again.
"You don't have to worry about this. As long as we do what Princess Changle did and let the Seventh Princess go to the South Jin King's Residence, Tang Li will definitely not be able to resist attacking her halfway or when she reaches the South Jin King's Residence!" Li Ding said again.
"Not bad, not bad." Wu Xuanran praised again. Then, he looked at the eunuch beside him and said, "Bring Lin Guanghan here immediately!"
Soon, Lin Guanghan was brought before Wu Xuanran.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Lin Guanghan knelt on the ground with his eyes red and swollen.
He had just found out that his father had been killed. That was why his eyes were red from crying. The reason he was crying like this was not only because his father had been killed, but also because he had lost a powerful backer.
The King of the South Jin King's Residence could be said to be the pillar of the South Jin King's Residence. Without the King, the South Jin King's Residence's power would be greatly reduced. In the future, they would not have any say in the Wu Kingdom.
"Guanghan, I have good news to tell you," Wu Xuanran said.
"What is it?" Lin Guanghan was puzzled.
"I have agreed to let the Seventh Princess marry you," Wu Xuanran said with a smile.
"This … is true?" Wu Xuanran's eyes widened and he said in disbelief.
He had thought that after the King of the South Jin King's death, Wu Xuanran would definitely not let the Seventh Princess marry him. He did not expect Wu Xuanran to say such things to him.
Was this a blessing in disguise? Such a thought flashed through his mind.
"Do you think I would joke?" Wu Xuanran frowned immediately.
"Guanghan is just … just too happy … Thank you, Your Majesty …" Lin Guanghan said as he kowtowed in excitement.
"Get up," Wu Xuanran said.
After Lin Guanghan stood up, he continued, "In ten days, An Ruo will follow you to the South Jin King's Residence. She will stay there for a while and wait for your father's matter to pass before getting married."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Wu Xuanran said excitedly.
Apart from his excitement, he was also puzzled. He was puzzled as to why this was happening so suddenly.
"You should be very curious as to why this is happening so suddenly. I will tell you now, the reason why it is so urgent is because I want to capture Tang Li as soon as possible!" With that, Wu Xuanran punched the throne again.
Hearing Wu Xuanran's words, Lin Guanghan immediately understood what was going on.
Tang Li, you did not expect that His Majesty would marry An Ruo to me because of you. You asked for it! Lin Guanghan was pleased with himself.
"Alright, all of you can leave. Go back and prepare. In ten days, all of you must capture Tang Li for me no matter what!" After that, Wu Xuanran spoke like this.
After this was confirmed, the news that the Seventh Princess was going to marry Lin Guanghan and leave the Imperial City in ten days quickly spread throughout the Wu Kingdom. It was even more sensational than Princess Changle's marriage.
