Chapter 487: Just Don’t Want to Hurt You
Hearing Long Yan’s complaints, Xiaoqiao had no sympathy, scornfully saying, "Stop faking it with me. You’ve always been one to seek fights rather than avoid them. How could you find fighting bothersome? Once this is over, you can name your terms, and I’ll try to satisfy them, okay?"
It seemed Long Yan had long premeditated the annexation of Huo Yandong’s forces; now, he couldn’t resist swindling her to take advantage of the situation to his satisfaction.
"Hehe, you said it..." Long Yan indeed had the tone of someone who had succeeded.
"Nothing else, I’m hanging up."
Long Yan hastily said, "Wait, wait, wait! There’s something else! I tell you, it seems Huo Yandong really values you! I did as you said, deliberately threatening him with your life, and I didn’t expect that old guy to actually retreat obediently."
"Is that so..." Xiaoqiao’s tone was emotionless.
"It seems true that a tiger will not eat its cubs..." Long Yan clicked his tongue, then analyzed to her, "Now that Huo Yandong has completely let his guard down against you, rather than going through the trouble of using Qin Yao to spend a great deal of time and effort to win people’s hearts and trust, ultimately to overthrow and replace the emperor, it would be easier and quicker for you to directly assassinate like Jing Ke did to the King of Qin!
Once Huo Yandong is dead, his forces will naturally crumble. Taking advantage of the chaos, let Qin Yao take over and lead, in line with the people’s will. Wouldn’t everyone be happy?"
