Chapter 221: Chapter 110: Breaking Army, Shaking Light; Elder Xue’s Secret Talk_2

Breaking Army recounted what had just happened, saying,

"The Imperial Guards were after him, but there was more shock than danger. At that moment, I was driving His Highness’s carriage, and Yue Qianfeng might not have been certain whether there was a master inside who could hold him back, so he decided not to complicate matters further. He only threw his Imperial Guard to delay me, and then he left."

Seventh Prince said, "Sir, you came all the way here to tell me this, is it because this Imperial Guard holds a position far from ordinary?"

"Indeed, speaking of which, Chen Country’s Imperial Guards are usually positions held by those dignitaries and nobles. Could he be a noble son from some family?"

Breaking Army replied, "Xue Family, Li Guanyi."

The Seventh Prince’s eyes slightly brightened, he set aside what he was holding, and said, "Is it that gentleman we met before, one of the top three rich merchants, the most outstanding among the Xue Family’s descendants?" He was not one to sit idly; after Breaking Army had spoken, he said no more.

Talking too much could lead to errors, but the Seventh Prince immediately realized that this was an opportunity.

"It’s a chance to forge good relations with the Xue Family."

"We want to establish our own tent on the grassland, but my father will definitely not agree. They would block our business route, not allowing the traveling merchant tribes on the grassland to come and trade with us. If we can befriend the great merchants from Central Plains, there would be another path."

"Then, they won’t be able to trap us."

"Hahaha, sir, you truly are my lucky star."

Seventh Prince extended his arms, embracing the youth next to him, and burst into hearty laughter.

Breaking Army said, "So, Seventh Prince, you..."

The Seventh Prince downed a few cups of wine, his brows lifted, and said,

"No matter the consequent problems, I don’t care what Emperor Chen will do after the grand ceremony, this favor from the Xue Family has to be earned in earnest. A brave Imperial Guard who was saved from my Turkic warriors’ intervention, and then brought back for protection."

"Highlighting our merits to better negotiate with the Xue Family."

Breaking Army smiled inwardly, seizing the moment to say,

"If that’s the case, we must open a trade route in the Western Regions."

Turkic Seventh Prince said, "It should indeed be so!"

Breaking Army smoothly facilitated this step, also making the Western Regions more chaotic. Once the trade route with the Xue Family was established, it meant even if Li Guanyi fell to the Western Regions, he could openly receive support and supplies from the Xue Family’s Trade Guild.

And with this, the Seventh Prince also gained benefits, advancing the situation to his advantage.

Seventh Prince walked out briskly, opened his carriage, and smelled the thick scent of blood. Li Guanyi had already self-inflicted disruption to his energy channels, making his meridians appear as if he was unconscious, when in fact it was like feigning sleep, ready to wake up opportunely during a situation.

Being battle-hardened from the battlefield, Seventh Prince saw the young man’s shattered armor and the blood on it, and could not help but look grave and said, "Such marks are from a bloody battle."

"I originally thought that a grand aristocratic family like the Xue Family wouldn’t have descendants capable of such bravery. It appears I was mistaken."

"Even the water and grasses of Jiangnan can nurture such heroes."

He respected warriors, set down his curved sword, personally lifted the young man out, and brought him into the house. Then he summoned the Turkic grassland’s traveling physician for treatment and dispatched his guard to communicate with Chen Country’s Imperial Palace.

He ensured that the event of the "Turkic Seventh Prince frightening Yue Qianfeng away and rescuing Xue Family’s Li Guanyi" was substantiated from all aspects and could withstand scrutiny.

Yue Qianfeng, a very powerful figure, having entered the Imperial Palace, if he tried to storm those forbidden places,

Or if he did not know how to adapt and fought to the death, he would die there.

But such a master escaping, ordinary guards could hardly stop him, only top masters could pursue, and most fatally, at this moment near Emperor Chen’s palace, there were too many nobles from various countries, these royal family masters certainly couldn’t afford to leave the palace at this time.

If this was a tactic to lure the tiger away from the mountain, targeting major figures from other countries, such as the Prince of Ying Country or Turkic Seventh Prince, even if they killed Yue Qianfeng and returned, it would be hard to atone for their own faults.

"This damned Qiu Ba is really cunning!"

Chen Family Royal Family’s master Chen Chengbi could only watch indignantly as Yue Qianfeng who had once again escaped, laughed and left. Then suppressing his anger, he turned back to the Imperial Palace, and upon receiving the news, found Li Guanyi and hurriedly came over.

Here, seeing the Turkic Seventh Prince sitting majestically with the Turkic traveling physician and Chen Country’s Imperial Physician present, and the General of the Imperial Guard arriving and inquiring about Li Guanyi’s condition, Li Guanyi did not reveal the full situation, merely mentioning that he discovered anomalies in Qilin Palace.

The General of the Imperial Guard asked, "Did you enter the Qilin Palace?"

The White Tiger Dharma Form responded with excitement.

Li Guanyi, sensing a hidden threat, replied, "I did not."

"My strength was insufficient, I planned to report to my superiors to resolve this. Then I encountered Yue Qianfeng, this traitor moving against his fellows. Ye Buyi can bear witness to this matter."

Hearing this, the General of the Imperial Guard finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued to comfort the youth.

Seeing Chen Chengbi’s arrival, he greeted respectfully, "Greetings to Uncle Third Emperor."

The General of the Imperial Guard, being of the Imperial Family, in terms of seniority was like a brother to the current emperor. Chen Chengbi waved his hand, replying, "Let’s dispense with the formalities here."

"I’m here to see how this young man is doing."

As the elder approached beside Li Guanyi, he laid his hand on Li Guanyi’s wrist.

A vigorous and irresistible aura flowed into Li Guanyi’s body, then Chen Chengbi’s expression subtly changed. He felt within Li Guanyi’s internals, a fiery and intense energy lurking, instantly shattering the power he had transmitted, even rebounding against him.
