228: Chapter 112: Finally eting an Old Friend_3 228: Chapter 112: Finally eting an Old Friend_3 Li Guan said, “…Yue Family Army.”
The elder pointed his finger on the table and said, “Right now, the cavalry of Ying Country and General Yue’s old troops are facing each other across the river, with royal family mbers supervising them there.
n like Yue Qianfeng with such a fiery temper co forth, the rest are all able to suppress their rage.”
“Think about it, the duty to kill General Yue will be shouldered by Tantai Xianming.”
“So, eventually the emperor admits his faults in a self-incriminating edict, believing he had done wrong in past years, and then abdicates.
The new emperor expels the son of Empress Tantai, kills Tantai Xianming, purges him, and then exonerates General Yue, maybe even going as far as granting him a royal title.
What do you think, how will the Yue Family Army respond…”
Li Guan lowered his gaze; in an instant, the young man felt as though the entirety of Chen Country had transford into a chessboard amidst rising winds and scudding clouds.
Currently, the true chess player was only one person.
He seed to see the emperor sitting high up, indifferently watching the world.
Li Guan closed his eyes and heard himself reply:
“They would be grateful to the new emperor.”
Xue Daoyong said, “Yes, in that case, the Yue Family Army.”
“No——”
The elder asserted:
“Those old forces from the ti of the Taiping Duke will regroup under the Chen Kingdom Royal Family!”
“This peaceful weapon will still be swung for Chen Country; this ti, even loyally to the Emperor.
Truly, it’s a grand strategy.
From a re vassal king to now and on to the future, this Emperor is the greatest strategist of these two decades.”
“Truly, a formidable figure!”
Li Guan covered his chest with his hand, suddenly feeling a piercing pain.
He understood the cause of his parents’ death.
Because he rembered the words Hou Zhongyu had said—
[The fate of the Taiping Duke’s son]
His fate grid might just belong to that real illegitimate son.
Bearing the fate of the Taiping Duke’s son, and then gathering the old forces of the Taiping Duke.
Settling the rebellious faction against the royal family on the thorny path, then guiding them into the Emperor’s hands.
In the beginning, that Emperor had already planned up to the present; amid this chaotic world, various formidable n and heroes erge in abundance, not to ntion the least underestimated Emperor of Chen.”
Li Guan didn’t reveal this to the elder before him.
The elder continued, “So, at the grand ceremony, we just need to see which royal offspring suddenly erges and enters the final arena to know for sure who is the Emperor’s illegitimate son; then we’ll have a handle on it.”
Li Guan slowly exhaled, feeling a surge of violence within him.
He clenched his hand.
Dragon roars and tiger howls rang in his ears.
A desire to draw the Battle Halberd and cripple the Prince in full view of everyone arose.
Even if it ant offending the Emperor, he really wanted to do so.
Elder Xue patted Li Guan’s shoulder and smiled, “In the Imperial Palace’s Book Collection Pavilion, there are many Divine Skills.
Seize this opportunity and don’t waste it, be sure to find sothing good.”
Li Guan nodded in agreent.
After so further idle talk, a carriage arrived in the afternoon.
Li Guan boarded the carriage which had its curtains drawn and eventually, it took him into the palace, to a secretive and restricted location known only to a few.
Entering this place required utmost confidentiality.
Li Guan confird his final location based on the directions from the Four Symbols Sealing Spirit Formation transpired from the Qilin Palace.
Indeed, perfectly confirming his final destination.
He morized the location of this place deeply in his heart.
Upon arrival, several Eunuchs withdrew, and Li Guan surveyed his surroundings, hearing a loud laugh saying, “Hahaha, boy, you finally arrived.” Li Guan looked up to see a white-haired elderly man striding forward, who was Chen Chengbi of the Chen Kingdom Royal Family.
The elder laughed, “Didn’t I say before, I would find a way for you?
How could this old man go back on his promise?”
“I petitioned that nephew of the Emperor for a long ti before he agreed to let you co here.
Co, let take you to et a master; she can definitely solve your problem.”
It was then that Li Guan knew that his arrival here was thanks to this elder.
The elder grabbed his shoulder, laughing heartily, “With your Martial Arts talent and such spirit, it’d be a sha to waste your skills; I still hope our Chen Country has more young heroes like you.
When our generation passes, you can still protect this country.”
He led Li Guan forward with great strength into a wooden hut next to the Book Collection Pavilion, pushing open the door while exclaiming loudly, “Great niece, great niece!”
“Your third uncle has co!”
“Great niece!”
Great niece?
Li Guan was montarily stunned.
Chen Chengbi was the Emperor’s third uncle; the only one who could be his great niece.
Was the aunt his mother ntioned, the only trustworthy mber of the Chen Country Royal Family.
The Princess.
Chen Qingyan!
