Chapter 910 - 426: Zhi Li’s death date is set!_3
They originally thought that Zhi Li’s campaign against Suo Lun was a sure bet, with no room for any unforeseen events.
Because Suo Lun had already become a target of public criticism, besieged by all under heaven.
However, what they didn’t expect was that in the end, the scandal that erupted pointed to none other than Zhi Li himself.
What was even more unexpected was that Zhi Li, with an army of nine hundred thousand, suffered a crushing defeat!
This news, for the high-ranking officials left behind in the capital, was like a bolt from the blue. After confirming Zhi Li’s defeat, almost all the high-ranking officials were ready to switch allegiances.
In an instant, the once deserted residence of Duke Zhi Ting became bustling like a marketplace.
In just two short days, the tributes Duke Zhi Ting received exceeded a hundred thousand Gold Coins!
After all, Zhi Ting was the only representative of the Zhi Yan faction in the capital.
As the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Yan Wujie, along with Turing Tuo, was known as one of the two pillars supporting the heavens of the Kingdom. Even Shaojun Zhi Li would refer to him as "Teacher" every time they met!
Usually, Yan Wujie wouldn’t even give a second thought to this prodigal Duke.
But after the news of Zhi Li’s defeat came, Yan Wujie personally visited Duke Zhi Ting with a banknote worth ten thousand Gold Coins, repeatedly calling himself a student and showing the utmost respect.
