After hearing his words, King Xue did not calm down, but asked coldly: "Then do you know who the murderer is?"
Xue Yuankang said quickly: "He is a strong man who retired from the Western Region. He is extremely strong in martial arts. Even I almost died in his hands."
When King Xue heard the word "Western Territory", his expression changed slightly, and then returned to expressionless.
"He returned from the Western Region?"
King Xue asked again.
Xue Yuankang immediately replied: "Yes, father, I am very sure that I have checked his information before. He just entered the Western Territory a few years ago and only returned in recent years. He already has strong military force."
"Even Luo Chen, the strong man you assigned to your fifth brother before, is no match for him."
After he said this, he did not get a reply from King Xue.
King Xue fell into silence, his face extremely solemn.
Although Luo Chen is not from the Xue family, he is a strong man who is worshiped by the Xue family, and his power is at the forefront of the Xue family.
Although there are not only many strong men in the Xue family, but even Luo Chen knows that he is not as good as him. Such a young man with terrifying strength may not have a low status in the Western Region.
This young man might even be someone close to the Supreme Lord of the West.
Without waiting for King Xue's reply, Xue Yuankang continued: "Father, this person is extremely powerful, but he also has obvious weaknesses. He places too much emphasis on friendship, and it is easy to get the handle."
"In addition, the Zichen Group is a thought left to him by his mother, and it is also very important to him. Currently, I have used the power of the Xue family to suppress the Zichen Group."
"But I can't confirm whether the power I can use can defeat the Zichen Group."
The implication of his words was that he wanted King Xue to give him more authority and let him use more of the family's power.
Naturally, King Xue knew what he was thinking.
King Xue did not do as he wished, but said coldly: "You are really messing around! You attacked the Zichen Group without confirming his identity. Stop it immediately!"
"I'm not asking for trouble by asking you to go to Shangjing. Don't forget your mission to Shangjing!"
Xue Yuankang did not expect that King Xue would reject him, so he immediately became anxious and said hurriedly: "Father! My fifth brother died in the hands of this person. Shouldn't we do nothing and let the villain go free?"
"Shut up!"
King Xue said angrily: "I will send someone to investigate the cause of your fifth brother's death. Before there is no conclusive evidence to prove that that person is the murderer, if you dare to mess around again, you will bring it upon yourself!"
After saying this, King Xue hung up the phone. His most beloved son died in Shangjing. He could not wait to rush to Shangjing now to understand the whole story and avenge his son.
But sitting in a high position, it is impossible for him to be so impulsive. Every move is limited, and reckless actions will only add chaos.
"King Xue, please express my condolences!"
The old man in civilian clothes sitting opposite him spoke.
Although King Xue did not turn on the speakerphone, a man with strong military skills would naturally have good hearing, so he already knew the content of the call.
King Xue calmed down the confusion in his heart, turned his eyes to the old man in civilian clothes, and said: "Go to Shangjing as soon as possible to meet that young man."
Hearing this, the old man in cloth clothes was stunned, and then frowned, "King Xue, when you go to Beijing, many forces are peeking at you. If you alert other forces, it may not be appropriate."
"The top priority is to control the power of Shangjing. Even if we cannot control Shangjing, we must have enough voice."
King Xue shook his head and said: "After Yuanba's death, I can't be sure of my relationship with that young man for a day, which makes me feel uneasy."
"If it has nothing to do with that young man, he is our best chess piece to control the entire Shangjing."
The commoner old man immediately understood what King Xue meant.
Shangjing is a treasured land, and countless forces want to control it and erode that land.
But compared with the royal family, the royal family is naturally inferior, but if they can find a chess piece to replace the Xue family in charge of Beijing, it will be more convenient than the Xue family.
"What if the fifth prince's death is related to that young man?"
The commoner old man suddenly asked again.
King Xue did not hesitate and said coldly: "Kill without mercy!"
The commoner old man had a close relationship with King Xue. He had been with King Xue since he was a child, and he had made many contributions to the Xue family over the years.
Although they are not blood relatives of King Xue, they are still brothers and sisters.
Even the princes and princesses of the Xue family had to respectfully call him "Mr. Du" when they met this old man in commoner clothes.
