Sanbao replied respectfully: "It's just that during these days, some of the officials we focus on are either taking sick leave or taking a leave of absence. This is a bit strange."
Li Chen frowned, raised his head and looked at Sanbao and said, "Are those officials related to Zhao Xuanji?"
"It's very close, but the contact was through the channels they operate in secret. The people in Dongchang haven't been able to find out the specific content yet."
After hearing Sanbao's words, Li Chen rubbed his temples.
He did not blame Dongchang for his poor performance.
Zhao Xuanji has been in business for so many years and has a huge network of roots in the court. Until now, Li Chen did not dare to say that he had seen all of Zhao Xuanji's power. Maybe it was just the tip of the iceberg.
If such a channel managed by an old fox for decades could be easily broken by Dongchang, then Zhao Xuanji would not become a major problem for Li Chen.
"in addition."
Sanbao suddenly said: "Prince Zhao's palace has been particularly active recently and has close contacts with many officials. It seems that he is plotting something."
"What else can you plan for?"
Li Chen sneered and said: "King Zhao wants to grab the position, and the only thing he can rely on is Zhao Xuanji, and how could Zhao Xuanji let go of such an excellent chess piece like him? The key to this matter lies in Zhao Xuanji, staring at
If you live with him, King Zhao will be nothing."
"My slave understands." Sanbao responded.
While Li Chen and Sanbao were discussing in Xi Zheng Palace, Li Yinhu received a report from Prince Zhao's palace that Long Huaiyu had arrived. Not only did he come, he also brought an old man with an invisible face.
"The master behind him finally came out." Li Yinhu said in a deep voice.
As he spoke, Li Yinhu glanced at the old man next to him.
The old man bowed slightly and said: "Last time I followed him, I still lost him. Long Huaiyu was also surrounded by expert guards. In addition, I didn't dare to scare the snake, so I failed in my efforts. Please punish me."
"never mind."
Long Huaiyu said expressionlessly, and said calmly: "Mr. Zhou, if your Miao territory wants to restore its former glory, the only one you can rely on now is me. And you have been following me for many years. There are some things that should not be ignored."
The king will not be too harsh, but if you want to achieve your goal and make your village the king of Miao, you must first use all your skills."
"You help me accomplish something, so that I have the opportunity and ability to help you accomplish something. Otherwise, if I fail, all your years of hard work and dedication will be in vain. The village you are in will no longer be able to find another refuge."
You should understand this truth."
After hearing this, Mr. Zhou immediately said: "Old slave, I understand that our Miao village is willing to die for the prince."
"I believe it."
Li Yinhu patted Mr. Zhou on the shoulder and said with a smile: "In that case, then go and bring Long Huaiyu and his master and apprentice over."
Mr. Zhou was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
Before, Li Yinhu hid them deeply for fear of being seen.
But now this action is obviously intended to make himself appear in front of master and disciple Long Huaiyu.
Without thinking much, Mr. Zhou responded, turned and left.
Soon, Mr. Zhou walked in with Long Huaiyu and an old man covered in black robes.
Li Yinhu's attention was immediately focused on the old man.
Because he couldn't see his face clearly, Li Yinhu could only see the figure of the other person, but for some reason, Li Yinhu felt that the other person was very familiar.
