His words left Zeng Lunan tongue-tied.
Long Chi snickered. "If you insist on going, I won't stop you either." When he had ordered Zeng Lunan to poison the soldiers at the frontier, he had already predicted the possibility of Ling Lihua resolving that predicament. His original goal was just to make his royal uncle panic so he could take advantage of the chaos to devise his plan.
However, never did he expect that his royal uncle would still have another card up his sleeve.
It was Long Xuan, his elder half-brother born to a different mother.
Although Lu Hetian and Lu Tingchen had been sent to the frontier and could not afford to leave, the court did not descend into chaos. His royal uncle, far from anxious, sent Long Xuan—a nobody—to subdue him.
Long Xuan was as brilliant a military leader as Lu Tingchen, and the army he led soon sprang an attack on Long Chi.
At the same time, his royal uncle sent Old General Guo to Xiangyang to attack Long Xiao.
