l servant, hurried over to him.

“How did it go, my Liege?”

“We’ll talk when we return.” Long Chi did not stop walking.

When they had arrived at their inn, Long Chi finally informed Jiang Chong about the conversation between him and Long Xiao.

“I always thought that this Royal Uncle of mine was a rather weak and indecisive man.
This proved to be true after my chat with him today.
He has ambition, but does not dare to follow through with his plans.
I gave him a night to think it over.
If he does not come to a decision by then, we will not wait for him any longer.
I don’t believe we need him to achieve our goals.”

Jiang Chong nodded.
“You’re right.
But if the Prince of Xiangyang could put a stop to the army sent by the imperial court, we would be able to force our way into the imperial capital.
That would certainly make things easier.”

“I understand that, but Royal Uncle is still hesitating.
I can’t squander this opportunity just to wait for him.
By the way, how are things with General Shen?”

General Shen was a former subordinate of his father.
He had been hidden away so secretly that even Long Yang was not aware of him.

It was a coincidence that General Shen was guarding a city under Long Chi’s district, a place called Rocky Grounds.

General Shen had thousands of men serving under him.
With just one order, he could greatly assist Long Chi in the attack directed at the imperial capital.

“All arrangements have been made.
All that is left is to await your word,” Jiang Chong replied respectfully.

Long Chi was relieved to hear this.
“Keep close attention to Zeng Lunan.
When the time comes, we will need his help in saving the soldiers at the frontier.”

Zeng Lunan was still useful.
Once Long Chi took over Great Shang, he would send Zeng Lunan to the frontier with the antidote to the plague.
That way, Long Chi would be able to gain public support, and the soldiers at the frontier would be so grateful that they would loyally guard the frontier for him.

Long Xiao had thought Long Chi was cruel and vicious for doing this, treating the lives of the soldiers as expendable.

However, Long Chi had planned all of this long ago.

He was not so stupid as to give such a chance to his enemy.
