Chapter 824 - 0824: Another Year 1
In the quiet of the night, Feng Qingxue conveyed Jiang Xiaoyue’s words to Lu Jiang, hoping he would act prudently and avoid trouble.
Lu Jiang pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Jiang Xiaoyue is young, straightforward, and lacking in such insight. It’s probably from her father or brothers, but they really don’t understand the old leader."
"You understand? What do you understand?" Feng Qingxue’s eyes sparkled with curiosity.
If he really understood, then why did he suffer two years of demotion in his past life?
"If it were the me from a few years ago, rushing headlong like a greenhorn, perhaps I wouldn’t have seen clearly, but the me now can discern quite a bit," Lu Jiang sighed, then lowered his voice to a whisper, "What’s the situation now? To put it bluntly, it’s a battle between dragons and tigers, where the multitude of tigers cannot overcome the true dragon, the emperor. And the reason for all this, is that the tigers—relying on their great achievements—wanted to be ennobled and become the prime minister, ruling as if they were the masters, unlike the old leader."
Feng Qingxue was taken aback, as she understood Lu Jiang’s words, but that very understanding left her all the more shocked.
The meaning implied by Lu Jiang’s revelation had altered her perceptions.
"You..." Feng Qingxue struggled to find a topic, remaining silent for a while.
