Chapter 377: Now Were in Power!
Far away in Western Xiao.
Inside the Royal Library Pavilion, Shang Lu looked over recent memorials with Prime Minister Wen at his side.
Prime Minister Wen spoke: “Your Majesty, Daxiang’s civil strife grows tense. Word arrived stating Prince of Xiang personally leads the army to Abyss River.”
Hearing this, Shang Lu paused his brush.
“Leading the army personally?”
Shang Lu felt surprised and asked: “I remember Zhao Zhen is over sixty?”
“Yes, Zhao Zhen is sixty-nine, nearing seventy years old.”
Shang Lu shook his head with a smile. “Still so restless? Does he believe himself young, daring to command personally?”
Prime Minister Wen sighed. “Zhao Zhen placed 150,000 troops at Frontier Pass. Likely not just guarding against Western Xiao, but plotting something long ago.”
