Chapter 221 - 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."
