Chapter 1821: Total Attack!

Chapter 549: Escorted Back to the CapitalChapter 1821: Total Attack!

Li Chen knew that if he asked Zhou Changshou to go back and handle this, the fellow would definitely massacre everyone.

This person's disposition, sometimes when Li Chen thinks about it, he finds it a little scary.

Zhou Changshou is completely the kind of person who is profit-driven. As long as his goals are achieved and it benefits him, he doesn't care about the consequences, no matter how severe they may be.

To call him a ruthless tycoon, that's not right.

Zhou Changshou had no ambition to rule, otherwise Li Chen would never have kept him.

To say that the hero...these two words have anything to do with Zhou Changshou is completely wrong.

This man, to Li Chen, seemed more like a lone wolf.

A cunning and extremely shrewd lone wolf.

Using such people is always a double-edged sword; one wrong move and you'll hurt yourself.

On the one hand, there's the concern that Zhou Changshou's loyalty might not always remain steadfast. That's one thing to consider.

On the other hand...it's just like now.

He did a fantastic job on the task I assigned him, but because of the excellent results, it also had some very strong side effects. Now, Li Chen has to clean up that mess for him.

The private letter was written in Chen Tong's own hand, and between the lines, one could clearly see his deep resentment.

Because now the Jinyiwei's reputation in the common people, is basically about as good as maggots in a latrine.

Rubbing his temples, Li Chen felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Before, Zhou Changshou made enemies with everyone. No matter where he went or who he partnered with, Li Chen would receive complaints like snowflakes and petitions against him. At that time, Li Chen felt that this was actually a relief. With Zhou Changshou's abilities, if he had good relationships with his colleagues, the one who should be bothered would be him.

Now, even Chen Tong can't stand Zhou Changshou anymore. Li Chen really feels that this guy's personality and methods need to be changed.

But since the mountain is high and the emperor far away, Li Chen couldn't control Zhou Changshou right now. The only thing he could do...was to ask Chen Tong to bear with it a little longer.

Li Chen wrote separate letters to Chen Tong and Zhou Ping'an, then summoned someone to deliver the letters through special channels.

By the time we finished, night had almost given way to dawn.

Li Chen tightened his cloak and stood by the window, gazing out for a while. His brows were furrowed, and he didn't seem to be in a good mood.

Behind her, footsteps echoed. Wan Jiajiao asked, "Your Highness, are you worried about the war or what's happening in the capital"

"I guess so."

Li Chen shook his head and said, "Although I know worrying is useless, it's still necessary to think things through more. Thinking from different angles and directions allows us to find many unreasonable loopholes that we didn't consider before. This way of filling in the gaps is a good approach."

Wàn Jiāojiāo pursed her lips and said with a pained expression, “I hate hearing outsiders say that the prince was born outstanding. All the good things about the prince are the result of his hard work day by day. When they say it like this, it sounds as if he got everything for nothing. They don’t see the effort he puts in behind closed doors, and they just casually spout these words with ease – it's really annoying.”

Li Chen said with a smile, "You're so small-minded. Your mouth doesn't belong to others, you can't control what they say. Besides, it's a compliment, not an insult. Why bother about these things"

Just as Li Chen was about to speak more, he suddenly saw a fire blaze into the sky from the horizon. The surging orange glow of the fire seemed to ignite half the sky. In an instant, it became intense and fiery. Looking closer, it was clear that countless rockets were converging into a river, shooting towards Mount Wolong.

and at the same time, the war drums thundered like a clap of thunder.
