Chapter 307: The Alliance
"Is there any news about the Eighth Prince in recent days?"
At Li Zhi's question, Shen Qiming glanced at him quietly, and a look of hesitation appeared on his face.
Li Zhi's cold gaze shifted over to him, and he said, "Say whatever there is to say. Could it be any more startling than what you told me last time?"
At those words, Shen Qiming drew a slow breath and lowered his head, saying, "That Eighth Prince returned to the capital a few days ago."
At those words, the figure of Li Zhi, lit by the dim glow of the lamp inside the cell, went absolutely still for an almost imperceptible instant. But almost at once, he returned to his usual composure.
He kept his gaze on the letter in his hand and asked without any change of expression, "Has he made any move since returning?"
Shen Qiming, seeing that Li Zhi showed no visible reaction, felt a slight shift in his gaze, and immediately replied, "The Eighth Prince went directly to the Second Prince's residence upon returning to the capital, and then..."
He paused briefly, and as Li Zhi's gaze shifted toward him, continued, "The Eighth Prince killed the Second Prince and a martial world expert within the residence, and afterward went to the Huo family's old residence, where he seriously injured a group of Dugu family members..."
"He killed Li Que?"
