there seems to be an intricate web of connections, and all these threads ultimately converge on a single starting point.And the common starting point of these threads lay in the hands of the great em...Chapter 345: Mysterious Visitor

"Well then, Long Huaiyu is implicated in treason. He's a good friend of yours, but the law cannot be bent for personal gain. The Dongchang must arrest him immediately. Zhao Wang, are you aware of this"

Li Yinhu said with a serious expression: "Your Highness, rest assured, these scoundrels, this king has already been deceived by them once, absolutely will not make the same mistake again. This king will immediately cooperate with the Dongchang officials and personally tie him up."

Li Chen took a long, hard look at Li Yinhu.

The more intelligent the Eighth Prince was, the stronger Li Chen's desire to kill him became.

This guy can't stay here long.

His eyes darted between Li Yinhu and Zhao Xuanji before settling on Li Chen, who said calmly, “Very well, Your Royal Highness Zhao understands the situation.”

After the meeting, the three departments, headed by the Ministry of Justice, immediately dispatched their elite personnel to the West Mountain Province to handle the Long Family case with utmost diligence, and then announced it to the world as a warning to others.

Next, the Dongchang should immediately go to Zhao Wang's residence after the meeting to arrest Long Huaiyu and bring him to justice. There must be no mistakes.

In the Taihe Palace, a storm was about to break.

Once the meeting concludes and the highest political echelon of the empire reaches a consensus, then there will be no place left for the Dragon Clan to survive.

While unaware that he had already become a discarded pawn, Long Huaiyu, was in his own room at Zhao Wang's mansion, silently lamenting his fate.

He has yet to recover from the tragedy of his clan's annihilation.

... until the door creaked open.

The irritable Long Huaiyu thought it was the servant who came to deliver food, and waved his hand: "Put down the things and get out! I don't want to see anyone!"

After he finished speaking, a strange chuckle was heard.

Long Huaiyu stood up extremely cautiously, turned around and stared intently at the unfamiliar old man in front of him, saying in a deep voice, "Who are you"

But did King Zhao send you to kill me

The old man settled himself at the tea table, poured himself a cup of water from the teapot and said, “At least you're not completely stupid, you know Li Yinhǔ wants to kill you.”

Long Huaiyu's pupils contracted, terrified to the extreme.

He exclaimed in shock, "He's really going to kill me! Have I already lost my value!"

The old man said leisurely: “Your greatest value lies in two points. First, you have a rather clever mind. Second, and most importantly, you control the resources of the Long family in Xishan Province.”

"Now that your family is destroyed, do you think there are a lack of intelligent people in this world"

The old man looked at Long Huaiyu, whose face had turned pale with nervousness, and sneered, "What a joke! What rubbish about being the number one talent in four provinces, what rubbish about being a young master. Pathetic."

Long Huaiyu's face turned from pale to flushed upon hearing this. He was enraged and said, "Who are you!"

"The old man has come to save you."

"For Li Yinhu, you've already lost your usefulness. He wouldn't risk going against him and the East Palace for you."

"As for Zhao Xuanji, you're nothing more than a pawn who suddenly appeared and ruined his plans. He wouldn't even care about your life or death."

"Both of them, who had a sliver of possibility to save you, have already discarded you like trash. That person from the Eastern Palace is going to destroy you for their own gain."

"The world is vast, and besides me, no one can give you a way to survive."

Seeing that this person wasn't here to kill him, Long Huaiyu let out a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterward, he began to rack his brains for a countermeasure.

"But I still don't know who you are."

The elder’s gaze was calm as he spoke in a soft voice, “Do you know what this temporary residence of King Zhao was a month ago”any problems, after all, Qin had its own particularity and limitations. Every policy had to conform to the actual situation of the country. Therefore, under this premise, Li Chen was willing to listen...
