Beside the ’s seat, sat a e flowers embroidered on them
This man e fish - half of it was black, while the other half was a silvery grey, clearly delineating the left and right sides of his head
Tranquil blue light flashed out of a pair of eyes, suffused with a bizarre, elusive aura
“Master Violet, I personally salute you with this cup of wine” The duke of Soaring Dragon lifted his cup and said to the fey and exotic man
“Heh heh, Your Lordshi+p is too polite Drink!” The exotic htforward as he threw his head back and drained his glass
Grand Courthed sinisterly, “Thanks to Master Violet’s action this time Otherwise it would’ve taken quite a bit of effort to kill Jiang Feng without anyone noticing”
The exotic hed faintly, but uncere’s flattery with no hint of hu, chuckled “Without Jiang Feng, those within the Jiang Han household will be a host of dragons without a head That brat Jiang Chen is a ht and capability can he possibly have? Without Jiang Feng, the Jiang family business will find it difficult to defend itself We will be one step closer to what the duke of Soaring Dragon seeks”
The duke of Soaring Dragon chuckledwas the first step The second step is to seize the Jiang Han dukedo the ownershi+p of that dukedom is in the hands of our own people will this step be viewed as co Fu was so pitiful He actually ca Garden to ask for a spirit alche fa to any doctor they can find in their ti felt that he had vented quite a bit of his ill hu Feng’s injury?” The duke of Soaring Dragon asked
Court hisis dead without a doubt Even a true qi master would find no antidote if struck with this poison,fa relationshi+p, I aoal” The duke of Soaring Dragon still wasn’t at ease, since he hadn’t seen Jiang Feng die
Master Violet said lightly, “Duke Long is overly worried Withwould only have a thirty percent chance of understanding what happened And that Lord Hall was not present in the capital the last couple of days Those left in the Hall, heh, are all worthless”
Master Violet’s tone ildly arrogant, and he held extreme confidence in his on also seemed to rely heavily upon this person He smiled, “Your aid in this ti , I will not spend too ained e need Don’t forget to materialize what you have promised me today, after you seize the throne in the future”
“This duke is hardly so them Be at ease Master Violet, when I ascend to the throne in the future, the position of minister of the state will be yours without a doubt However, the caveat is that youBefore I start ure as the Hall of Healing standing on the side of the Eastern clan”
Master Violet said faintly, “If I couldn’t handle even this little bit of business, what right would I have to haggle over rewards with Duke Long?”
The duke of Soaring Dragon laughed heartily and raised his glass again, “Then here’s to a happy partnershi+p and to building a great cause together!”
Within the depths of the palace, Eastern Lu had also received the news of the a Han manor
“Tiandu, what is the latest news?” Eastern Lu was in an exceedingly poor mood He had just taken down Du Ruhai today, and had obliquely struck at Duke Long’s arrogance
Who would’ve thought that this Long Zhaofeng would pull out this on the flipside, and pointed the spearhead at Jiang Feng
If Jiang Feng died because of this, the ireater than the one caused by the pruning of Du Ruhai Regardless of how one looked at it, it was still him, Eastern Lu, who had co was a provincial y had increased abruptly
Du Ruhai was just a minor character In the capital, his influence made him out to be someone on the outskirts, someone as unable to s don’t look so good The Jiang fa, but the third hall It would see’s injury is not very optimistic”
Eastern Lu violently threw his cup onto the ground, his tone sinister and cold “Long Zhaofeng, are you publicly putting aside all considerations for royal face?”
“Your Majesty please cease to be angry Long Zhaofeng is de his power this way, it’s likely that his preparations are not yet complete Your Majesty still has much time to prepare”
Eastern Lu ie “Wefamily in this issue nosuccuate the transition will be an exceedingly difficult proble died, they would be hard pressed to convince the public that Jiang Chen, at the age of sixteen, should immediately inherit the dukedo Han territory that the duke of Jiang Han ruled over suber, much less the officials and courtiers at court?
A duke’s territory encompassed a wide area of land, with many cities that had many powers deeply rooted and interlocked with each other If there wasn’t a strong duke ruling over them, then these local poould be the first to jump out in rebellion

“Your subject understands” Tiandu nodded
“Go get Gouyu” Eastern Lu rubbed his forehead slightly, a bit tired At this moment, only his sister Gouyu could set Eastern Lu’s mind at rest
When Princess Gouyu had learned of the a, she also felt surprised and inexplicable She had just finished raiding Du Ruhai’s home when she heard of Eastern Lu’s summons, and immediately hurried back to the palace
She prayed inwardly for Jiang Chen, hoping that nothing would happen to Jiang Feng
