n frowned."Lord Xu was beaten, his injuries were not light. And the silver shipment had already been sent to the national treasury by order of King Zhao. As for the Liu family, they were still shaken...Chapter 207: A Bloodless Victory
"What do you want to do" Li Chen asked.
"Ping'an said, 'One learns both civil and martial arts, but buys them from the imperial family.'" Zhou Ping'an replied.
Li Chen smiled and asked, "How can this palace trust you"
Zhou Ping'an stood still and said, "What I just told your Highness is Ping'an's sincerity. As for Ping'an's ability...Ping'an can quell the rebellion in Xishan Province within a month without bloodshed."
Li Chen looked at Zhou Ping'an, who was still bowing, without saying a word.
Zhou Ping'an's promise is extremely difficult to fulfill.
But if one thinks about the weapons of those rebel troops in Xishan province being provided by his older brother, and with Prince Ning's machinations behind the scenes still having his younger brother as a hidden spy, it doesn't seem impossible.
But in Li Chen's view, this suddenly appearing Zhou Ping'an himself contained a threat no less than a rebellion in Xishan Province.
Three brothers, each holding important positions in their respective fields, have climbed to the highest levels of society. But what are their true intentions
Li Chen remained silent, and Zhou Ping'an continued to stand with his head bowed motionless.
Slowly, Zhou Ping'an's body began to tremble more and more visibly.
Half of it is cold, and half is from being in this tiring position for so long, I'm exhausted.
As for whether or not there was fear and anxiety, perhaps only Zhou Pingan himself knows best.
A waist badge, without any warning, was thrown onto the snow in front of Zhou Ping'an.
"Tomorrow, go to the East Palace to see me. This token will allow you to pass unimpeded."
After Li Chen finished speaking, he jumped out of the carriage and without even glancing at Zhou Ping'an, he walked away with his hands behind his back, leaving a trail of footprints in the snow before disappearing at the end of the road.
After a long time, Zhou Ping'an finally supported his waist and slowly stood up straight. He bent down to pick up the waist card and held it tightly in his hand, his eyes filled with excitement.
He knew his goal had been achieved!
And at this moment, the great Liang Longque reappeared in the world. The news that the ancestral treasure forgotten by the world for hundreds of years had once again surfaced also reached Zhao Xuanji's desk.
In Zhao Xuanji's study at home, Zhao Xuanji was practicing calligraphy.
Hearing the news, he slowly put down his pen, picked up a hot towel and wiped his hands, his eyes darkened as he said: “Da Liang Long Que... that Xian Chao, really knows how to keep things under wraps.”
They have been in the capital for over half a year, guarding this secret closely and refusing to reveal it until the very end.
Zhao Xuanji sneered and said, “Send someone to investigate, be sure to get to the bottom of this matter... Also, call Wang Tenghuan, Duan Jianjiang, Fu Yuzhi, and Zhang Bwu... Forget it, just leave Wang Tenghuan."
Half an hour later, three carriages converged at the gate of Zhao Mansion. Then, the three cabinet ministers got out of their carriages one by one, exchanged pleasantries with each other, and then entered together, going straight to Zhao Xuan's study.
"Ladies and gentlemen."
Zhao Xuanji waved away the idle crowd. After only four people remained in the study, he spoke, “Perhaps you have all received news that at today’s East Palace banquet, Princess Xianchao presented the Taizu Dragon Sparrow to the Crown Prince. This Taizu Dragon Sparrow is the sword of the Taizu Emperor, which has been missing for three hundred years. Along with it disappeared the treasure trove of the Taizu Emperor.”
Now that the Great Cool Dragon Sparrow has emerged, we must carefully consider the authenticity of the First Ancestor's Treasure.
"Speaking of which, a cold glint flashed in Zhao Xuanji's eyes, and he said: “Or perhaps, for us, the Taizu Treasure may not be that important. But the appearance of this news has brought enormous impact to the entire court. That prince is not someone easy to deal with. So tonight, we need to come up with a countermeasure."olf who devoured people without spitting out their bones. Underneath his youthful appearance lay a ruthlessness and cunning far beyond his years.Although on high alert inside, Jian Xin still smiled an...
