Chapter 352

When Prince Duan returned to Prince Duan's Mansion, he saw that it was crowded with people, a bit chaotic, but also filled with a trace of unexplained anxiety.

He frowned slightly, stopped someone, and asked directly: "Where is your father?"

When the man saw him, he quickly shouted: "His Royal Highness Duan Wang, you are back."

Almost instantly, everyone who was busy on the other side turned their heads and looked over at the same time. Their eyes seemed to be looking at not King Duan, but a piece of fat.

King Duan felt a little uneasy in his heart for no reason. He said with a cold face: "What are you looking at? Just do what you have to do. What do you think of me like this?"

Unknowingly, a group of people had gathered around him. Although they were smiling and seemed to respect him, if you looked closely, you would find that they were clearly surrounding him, as if they were afraid that he would escape.

"His Royal Highness Duan Wang, you are back. Go inside and invite you. The emperor is waiting for you in the main courtyard." The leader smiled and made an invitation gesture.

King Duan was a little displeased with the other party's expression. It seemed flattering, but in fact there was deep malice hidden inside.

He snorted coldly, opened his legs and walked inside.

As he walked inside, King Duan suddenly noticed something was wrong.

These people are not tidying up things on a daily basis, but tossing the things inside out.

I rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, eager to see what was wrong with everything.

Prince Duan's eyebrows furrowed even more tightly. He quickly glanced around, and then realized that these people were a bit unfamiliar, but he was not sure whether they were servants of Prince Duan's palace.

He stopped and asked, "Where are Butler Wang and Butler Liu?"

"The two stewards you mentioned are both busy. Steward Wang is checking the accounts, while Steward Liu is in charge of packing things. Your Majesty, the Emperor is waiting for you, so you'd better leave as soon as possible."

King Duan's eyes were a little cold: "I haven't seen you much before."

The smile on the man's face remained unchanged: "Your Majesty, it's normal that you have never seen a villain. After all, there are hundreds of people in Prince Duan's Mansion. On weekdays, only a dozen or so people can get close to you. People like me are responsible for daily patrols.

I'm not even qualified to be by your side."

"Since you are not qualified to be by my side, why are you here today?" As King Duan asked, he already tensed up his body, put his hands behind his back, and made a few quick gestures.

If there were any of his confidants nearby, they would come over to protect him as soon as they saw this gesture.

From his understanding, it would only take a few breaths at most for those people to rush over.

"Your Majesty, my servant has already said what you said. The few people you are used to are busy with other things. There is no other way but for me, a person you are not familiar with, to serve you."

King Duan looked indifferent. When he noticed a familiar person approaching him, he quickly took a few steps back. He pointed at the person and said, "Catch him."

The man responded yes, and in the next moment, he suddenly came closer and directly caught Prince Duan himself.

"What are you doing? Let me go." Prince Duan's face turned slightly dark. Sure enough, his previous feeling was correct. Today's Prince Duan's Mansion is very strange.

But what King Duan never expected was that one of his confidants was also bribed.

At the same time, the guard sighed and said: "Your Majesty, you said it would be great if you followed me to the main courtyard obediently, so there won't be any more of these things!"

Prince Duan had an angry look on his face: "Slave dog, what on earth do you want to do! This is Prince Duan's Mansion, even if you bribe one or two people, as long as I scream for help, you will definitely be treated as an assassin and be cut to pieces with a thousand knives!"

King Duan's eyes flickered, and his voice suddenly softened: "I can give you whatever you want. I can also promise that after you leave, I will not pursue this matter."

The guard clicked his tongue: "His Royal Highness Duan Wang is really eloquent. If I were really an assassin, I would have been deceived by you. It's a pity that I am really not an assassin."

King Duan frowned, looking incomprehensible.

The guard suddenly took out a sign from his waist and showed it: "Does the prince know this?"

When he saw the sign clearly, King Duan's expression changed: "This is the Shadow Token!"

The guard blinked in surprise: "I didn't expect that the prince actually knew me. I thought I had to explain."

Prince Duan's face turned green and white: "It is said that when my father fought for the world, he had a very powerful team. Everyone in that team was an invisible killer who had made countless achievements. But in the end,

During the first battle, that team suffered heavy casualties and disappeared completely. After the establishment of Jokhang, there was news that my father had re-established that team to investigate the ministers."

"But it's very difficult to re-establish that team. So it's just a rumor!"

But also because of such rumors, ministers are less afraid to do bad things after becoming officials.

The guard smiled and said, "His Royal Highness Duan Wang knows a lot."

King Duan's face twitched, and he didn't feel like he was praised at all.

The reason why he knew all this was because after seeing this part of history in the library, he coveted that team very much.

He even thought that if he had such a team at hand, it would be very easy to seize the throne.

Unfortunately, that team has long since disappeared from history.

"Since the prince knows everything, I won't say more."

King Duan breathed heavily and asked in a deep voice: "What did you investigate?"

The guard had a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, I am just following orders, so you can't reveal too much. When you get to the Emperor, you will naturally know what we have found out in our investigation."

Sensing the seemingly respectful but indifferent attitude of the other party, King Duan stopped struggling. He closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he had restored his own nobility: "Let me go, I will go on my own."

The guard smiled and expressed that it didn't matter that King Duan had to maintain his demeanor at this moment. He gave the person who suppressed King Duan a look and asked him to let go of King Duan.

Then he made a gesture of invitation: "Your Majesty, please."

King Duan snorted and strode forward.

He didn't try to escape or anything else, because he knew in his heart that the other party was able to take out the token only because of his father's order.

If he really ran away, he would face endless pursuit.

If possible, he doesn't want to go to that point.
