Even if he did nothing in the past, just standing on the city walls was equivalent to the Prince leading the charge for the Black Scale Army, which could boost morale.
But now, besides one battalion of the Feathered Forest Army, East City only had ten thousand regular Sect Border Army troops.
The problem was that he now dared not return to the Government Office.
Li Zhaoyuan was still in the Government Office.
Deputy General Cang wouldn't harm him, but the same could not be said for Li Zhaoyuan.
Although it was Qin Weijiu who instigated and Su Meimo who executed the blast at the Sect's storage, it was still unclear if Li Zhaoyuan was involved.
If it turned out that he was indeed collaborating with Qin Weijiu's side, he would surely want to eliminate Xu Yuan.
Even if he didn't know that Xu Yuan was the designated heir of the Prime Minister's Mansion, considering his cultivation that had skyrocketed over the year, they would want to eliminate him.
