Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 3136: Chapter 106: Ying Clan Missing, Daoist Master Returns! Luohe Old Ancestor_3

On the flagship.

King Heng Qi and Wang Fugui exchanged glances, and both of their eyes were exceedingly complicated.

Meanwhile, Wang Zongkun hid behind Fugui, cautiously poking out his head to gaze at King Heng Qi, his eyes behind his sunglasses also filled with shock.

”Fugui, this whole mess is entirely that brat Wang Zongkun’s fault.” King Heng Qi, his face flushed, glared at Wang Zongkun and complained to Wang Fugui, spitting as he spoke, ”If it weren’t for him stoking the fire recklessly, Purple Charm wouldn’t have mistakenly thought I was going to... wouldn’t have lost the battle and acted all ready to be disposed of by me. I wouldn’t have failed to resist what shouldn’t have happened, leading to this situation of dry wood igniting uncontrollably...”

”But honestly, I never would have thought... After this incident, I realized I’ve wasted thirty thousand years of my life... Fugui, you have to come up with a solution for me.”

Wang Fugui was speechless: ”Your Highness the King, shall I think of a way to kidnap the Purple Charm Demon Lord?”

”Yes, yes, much appreciated...”

”Oh, shut up!” Wang Fugui interrupted him, annoyed, ”How can you even think like that? Aren’t you afraid that His Majesty the Divine Emperor will break your legs when you return?”

Although King Heng Qi was over thirty thousand years old, he was still considered a junior in front of the Cangping God Emperor.

”Even if my legs get broken, it’s worth it... Anyway, I’m already halfway to the tomb.” King Heng Qi said shamelessly, laughing, ”Fugui, you’ve never tasted magic... that wild... I’ve wasted my life.”

”To be honest, after I subdued Zhiwei, she’s utterly devoted to me... If it weren’t for some constraints, she’d want to leave with me too.”

Wang Fugui was sweating all over.

This situation is incredibly ridiculous, a melodramatic wildfire.

Even he, who is usually calm, was somewhat disoriented at the moment.

Eventually, he could only glare at Wang Zongkun and say, ”Old Ancestor Zongkun, I will surely report this to the Old Ancestor, and he will deal with you properly.”

”Spare me, Fugui~” Wang Zongkun’s expression shifted from sneaky laughter to crying with laughter, ”My old man has always disciplined me strictly, he might kill me. Fugui, look at it from another angle, this matter may not be all bad. Lici sister is short-handed these days; why not send King Heng Qi to protect her?”

”Send him? His Highness the King is the envoy; I’m just the deputy envoy.” Wang Fugui retorted irritably.

”Fugui, we’re brothers, aren’t we? Along the way here, I’ve been just a figurehead as the envoy anyway.” King Heng Qi’s eyes lit up as he spoke urgently, ”Besides, I’m this old now, having an opportunity to infiltrate the enemy forces to assist Consort Ci, leveraging my twilight years, is quite good.”

Twilight years?

It looks to me like you’re in the blazing sun, embroiled in a heated affair~

Wang Fugui grumbled internally.

Nonetheless, given the situation, he had no choice but to solve this problem.

He pondered briefly, eventually stepping back a bit: ”Let’s put it aside for now, Your Highness the King, stand guard for me one last time, and I will think it through and make arrangements later.”

”Yes, yes, thank you, Fugui, I’ll follow your lead completely.” King Heng Qi pounded his chest loudly, looking utterly grateful.

Wang Fugui sighed and then couldn’t be bothered to manage him anymore, turning back to his room to ponder how to explain this mess to the Cangping God Emperor.

The Void Ferry of the envoy group was already operated by dedicated crew, so even though the fleet now had an extra super-large void cargo ship, the fleet could manage it, and Wang Fugui didn’t need to worry.

They spent quite a long time on the way here; on the return, they went with the flow, speeding up significantly.

The fleet sped along the way, and everything went smoothly.

It didn’t take many years for the fleet to return to the East Dawn Army Command.

Grand Marshal Ji Taichang had received news earlier about Wang Licui’s return and was already excited upon seeing Wang Fugui, having learned about the resources from the letter Fugui had sent: ”Fugui, you can’t do this~”

”This time, the large batch of resources you’ve transported from Lici belongs to military loot; by preparing to take them home openly like this, you’re embezzling military supplies, don’t you understand?”

Openly and brazenly.

Indeed, Wang Fugui had hundreds of ways to secretly take the loot from Lici, but he chose to do it openly.

The reason is simple: the Wang family would never engage in skullduggery, otherwise if the word spread, people would really think the Wang family was embezzling military supplies, and it would be impossible to clear their name.

Fugui thought about problems, never as naively as Lici.

”Marshal Ji?” Wang Fugui looked at Ji Taichang, puzzled, ”The resources I brought back are from my family, old ancestor Lici, and old ancestor Yuxuan, traded back from the Barbarian Giant Tribe Alliance, what does it have to do with the military?”

”Fugui, you’re not in the military, so I don’t blame you for not understanding military rules.” Ji Taichang smiled kindly, with an ”I’m reasonable” look, ”Lici and the others belong to the Dongxia Army, so, legally speaking, war trophies obtained while carrying out military orders naturally count as military supplies.”

”Of course, I’m not without leniency. Being leaders, they’ve achieved such great merits, I’ll turn a blind eye if they privately keep a portion. But, surely you can’t take it all?”

It’s a joke, as the loot is worth a full two thousand Chaos Spirit Stones, naturally, Ji Taichang couldn’t let Wang Fugui take it away so easily.
