"Whether Li Qian has come back or not, I don't know. But Dou Hou, you are so sure that Li Qian dares to kill my father?" the prince said.
"Does the prince think he dares?" Dou Huaishan asked with a smile.
"Marquis Dou, you can't bet everything on Li Qian. Even if he can kill his father, he can also kill you and the orphan!" the prince said.
"What the prince said is true!" Dou Huaishan smiled and nodded, "Li Qian is indeed too dangerous. Not to mention his actions in the Western Qiang Kingdom, he can also disrupt my layout in Xizhou. If he becomes confused, this person will become a serious problem for me and the prince!"
"But, he is also a sharp knife!" Dou Huaishan changed the topic, "With his family in hand, it is enough for us to use his knife!"
"Marquis Dou, you can't be too confident. If Li Qian manages to save his family, how can you control his sword?" the prince said.
Dou Huaishan chuckled, "The prince thinks that I can't look down on his family?"
"Nothing is absolute. I believe Dou Hou knows Li Qian's abilities better than Gu. Once he rescues his family, what will Dou Hou do?" the prince said.
Dou Huaishan took a sip of tea and said, "The prince has no confidence in me?"
"This is not a question of confidence or lack of confidence, but a matter of fate between Gu and Dou Hou!" The prince said, "Is Dou Hou sure he can take care of his family?"
"What suggestions does the prince have?" Dou Huaishan asked.
"I need to see his family to make sure there are no mistakes, so I can rest assured." The prince said.
"So the prince is here today, not so much to see me, but to meet Li Qian's family?" Dou Huaishan said with a smile.
"Marquis Dou, I have to make sure nothing goes wrong!" the prince said sternly.
Dou Huaishan smiled and said, "I understand, the prince's worries are not unreasonable. I guess the prince also cares about the seventh princess. In that case, someone, please take the prince to meet Li Qian's family and the seventh princess!"
Someone immediately came forward and said, "Your Highness, please!"
"You don't have to follow me." The prince said to Li Chen and followed the man.
Dou Huaishan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "Is Li Qian back?"
"I was intercepted by He Rong on the official way to Beijing, and then escaped. His whereabouts are unknown now," Li Chen said.
"His whereabouts are unknown?" Dou Huaishan smiled, "If his whereabouts were unknown, the prince would not have come to see me today."
"What does the Marquis mean?" Li Chen raised his eyebrows.
"It seems that the prince doesn't trust you at all now." Dou Huaishan said with a smile, "He is not really incompetent."
"Master Marquis, the prince came here today, didn't he want to save Li Qian's family?" Li Chen said.
"Do you think he can do it?" Dou Huaishan asked.
"He can't do it, but that doesn't mean Li Qi'an can't do it!" Li Chen's face looked a little solemn. "The Marquis must be more careful. Once Li Qi'an rescues his family, all efforts will be in vain!"...
"So I am really curious, which side are you on?" Dou Huaishan looked at Li Chen with a smile.
"Didn't Li Chen say that Li Chen only does it for himself? Since the prince no longer trusts me, of course I will not stand on his side anymore. And I helped him before. Although my father doesn't care about it now, there is no guarantee that he will do it in the future. I won't care about it." Li Chen said, "So, it is most beneficial to Li Chen if the Marquis benefits!"
Dou Huaishan laughed, "Then if you were Li Qian, how would you save your family?"
"First of all, of course, we need to confirm where the family members are being held. The Marquis Mansion is so big, only if we confirm where the family members are being held can we take further action."
Dou Huaishan nodded, "Okay, now that we know where the family is being held, how can we take further action?"
"Borrow the imperial troops to attack the Hou Mansion and wait for the opportunity!" Li Chen said.
Dou Huaishan nodded again, "Indeed, I think so too. But I am not Li Qi'an, and you are not Li Qi'an. Although he has a group of powerful subordinates, he does not know how to make dangerous moves!"
"A dangerous move in the army?" Li Chen was slightly startled.
"He is worthy of being called my rival, so I know him very well. He will not put his family in any danger. Although it is true that you can wait for opportunities by borrowing the military power of the imperial court, the risk is also very high, so , He won’t do that!” Dou Huaishan said.
"Then what did the Marquis think he would do?" Li Chen couldn't help but ask.
