Chapter 276

At this time, Prince Ke Jie received the information from his subordinates that Xing Chen, who had been ambushing Senior Colonel Du, was nowhere to be found, and all his subordinates had died in battle. He flew into a rage.

“Where is he? Haven’t you found him yet?” He asked his men angrily with cold eyes, completely losing his usual composure.

His subordinate trembled in fear and immediately knelt on the ground. “Sorry, First Prince. We have no clues.”

After the subordinate spoke, he held his breath, as if the was afraid to disturb Ke Jie.

“A bunch of lame ducks!” Ke Jie went out of control and roared in anger, sweeping the things off the desk.

He was furious and anxious because Xing Chen knew too much about him. If Xing Chen was caught, he would get into trouble.

“Yes, we, we are lame ducks.” The subordinate didn’t dare to retort. He scolded himself for being incompetent and slapped himself. He didn’t stop at the pain, and the slapping sound was heard in the room.

However, this did not appease Ke Jie who got more furious. He picked up the gun and shot the subordinate, ending his life.

The other subordinates who were waiting on the side were scared out of their wits. They quickly knelt down at the same time and said, “First Prince, please calm down. We’ll go investigate on Xing Chen now.”

Ke Jie roared, “Do you want me to investigate myself? Go and find him now!”

He was beside himself with rage, firing several shots at the ceiling, which scared his men, who scramble out of the room like frightened birds.

Seeing such a useless subordinate, Ke Jie almost fainted.

He cursed in anger and hurled his gun out of the room. He looked extremely furious.

‘Since all the subordinates with Xing Chen died, it’s very likely that he was captured by He Jingyan. In that case, I might be doomed.’

“Damn it!” Ke Jie pounded the table angrily, as if he was at his wit’s end.

‘He Jingyan is no ordinary man. If he knows about this, I can’t protect my country, let alone become the king.

He is famous for military strategies and tactics, and he has never lost any battles. There are many legends him, and I don’t know about his strength. After all, it has been peaceful these years. He Jingyan went to wars several years ago, and no one knows about his current strength. In short, I have to be careful. If Xing Chen is captured by He Jingyan, I have to ask Nan Xiao to kill him.

It is a pity, as Xing Chen is a competent chess piece, but there is no other way.’

Ke Jie thought that Nan Xiao was not exposed after Xing Chen was arrested. Based on his knowledge of Xing Chen, he believed he would not betray him. However, he made a mistake. Xing Chen had told all his plots because He Jingyan threatened him with Wei Wei.

Besides, Ke Jie had sent Wei Wei to He Jingyan. He was taking a dose of his own medicine.

Ke Jie was thinking of calling Nan Xiao to check if Xing Chen was captured by He Jingyan.

However, before he made the call, he received a message from Nan Xiao, saying that he had followed Xu Yangyi out of the army and could kidnap him anytime. He asked Ke Jie to send some men to come to his aid.
