were used, leveraging important collaborations to coax Qin Dayong away from Zhou Cheng, all for a fleeting chance to be alone with Yang Chen.Just as she was lost in thought, Yang Chen, dressed and re...The old man in plain clothes was taken aback for a moment, then frowned: "King Xue, I think this is not the right time. Once my whereabouts are discovered, I am afraid that other members of the royal family and clans will not let it go."

"The top priority now is to control Yan City as quickly as possible. Even if we can't fully control it, we need to control enough of the discourse."

Xue Wang shook his head. "Now I can't care about that anymore, I just want to know, is the young man related to Yuan Ba's death"

"If not, then all the better. As long as he can be of use to me, even if he controls the entire Yan capital, it's not without hope."

Upon hearing the words of King Xue, the commoner elder understood his meaning.

Now, the Four Great Royal Clans and the Five Great Kings' Clans all want to control Yan City.

and

The royal family surpasses the kingly family, but if a suitable spokesperson for the Xue family can be found in Yan City, the Xue family could then control more discourse.

"If, the death of the three princes, was that young man's doing"

A plain-clothed old man suddenly asked.

A fierce killing intent flashed in King Xue's eyes: "Kill!"

The plainly dressed old man was his closest confidant. The two had been together since they were very young, with the old man following him ever since.

For so many years, the commoner old man has also made great contributions to the Xue family.

The plainly dressed elder was the only outsider in the entire Xue family treated as a brother by King Xue. Even the princes and princesses of the Xue family had to respectfully address the elder as "Mr. Du."

What is his name, the Xue family already

Forgot, everyone called him Mr. Du. Over time, Mr. Du became his name.

Mr. Du, seeing that King Xue was about to take action, spoke up: "If that young man is someone guarding the Northern Border's lord, truly killing him would probably bring great trouble to the Xue family."

"The North is the most protective place, let alone the people they protect. Even an ordinary retired Northern warrior, if killed, the North will find out who did it."

Xue Wang lightly frowned, he wasn't unaware of the strength of the northern border, nor was he unclear about their protective nature.

But this time, it was his most beloved son who died. He had originally planned to pass on the position of heir to King Xue to Xue Yuanba, but now Xue Yuanba is dead.

"Kill!"

King Xue was silent.

After a long pause, his voice was firm and unwavering.

Mr. Du nodded, no longer persuading. He had already persuaded King Xue, since he still decided to kill, further persuasion would be inappropriate.

Meanwhile, Yan Capital, Yanci Group.

To Yang Chen's surprise, barely half an hour after the news of Xue Yuanba's death in a power struggle was released, Luo Bin reported good news: the anonymous force secretly suppressing Yanzhen Group had suddenly vanished.

Under Luo Bin's operation, Yichen Group's stock price not only did not get suppressed, but also rose a lot.

"As expected of King Xue, you are truly bold!"

Yang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. He easily guessed that Xue Yuanji's suppression of Yanci Group's stock price was stopped by Xue Wang.

Yanchen Group had stabilized, but he wasn't relaxed at all.

...but I'm a little worried instead.

Just dealing with the Xue family was enough to drive him crazy, how could he possibly cope with the other eight royal and princely families

The innocent are often falsely accused.

Now, news has broken that someone intends to proclaim themselves king in Yan City, thus shattering the peace that Yan City has enjoyed for a hundred years.

Whether it be the imperial or royal family, it's easy to find that he had a high degree of influence in Yan.

Whoever controls Yan, then whoever controls him can be said to have half the territory of Yan in their grasp.

With such huge benefits, would other royal families and clans give up

"Chairman, someone wants to see you. She says her last name is Guan."

Just then, the secretary knocked on the door and walked in to report to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen frowned. Of the four great royal clans, there was one called Guan Clan.

(The End)
