Chapter 162 - 29: You Bite the Dust, I Become Commander, and We All Have a Bright Future

"Brother Ye, do you know Prince Jin?"

"Prince Jin? The Third Brother of His Majesty, the current Emperor?"

Upon hearing the name Prince Jin, Ye Liuyun couldn’t help but ponder for a moment.

He had seen a few related descriptions in the dossiers, but not much.

All he knew was that the other was the Third Brother of the current Emperor, Yan Shuzhu, who was once a strong contender for the throne, but since Yan Shuzhu ascended to the throne...

This Prince Jin had received a title and went to his fiefdom, and since then, little news had been heard of him.

"That’s right! That’s right!"

Seeing that Ye Liuyun knew of Prince Jin, Qi Yuanliang immediately nodded.

"The matter this time is actually very simple. It’s just that around Prince Jin’s fiefdom, a group of bandits has appeared. I don’t have anyone useful by my side, so I hope Brother Ye can help me."

It sounded simple indeed.

If Ye Liuyun really believed it was just like this, then he would truly be seeing ghosts.

However.

No matter what Qi Yuanliang’s intentions were, they should go first and talk later.

Besides, it was said that Prince Jin’s fiefdom was surrounded by mountains and water, with a beautiful environment, perfect for burying Qi Yuanliang.

"Since Brother Qi has said so, if I were to refuse, it would be quite disrespectful."

"Brother Ye, you’re indeed benevolent!"

Seeing Ye Liuyun agreeing.

The smile on Qi Yuanliang’s face became even more pronounced.

They then set a time, packed briefly today, and planned to set off the next day.

After explaining these matters.

Qi Yuanliang left, seemingly having quite a few things to prepare.

"Master!"

After Qi Yuanliang left, Shi Sheng and Si Nan approached Ye Liuyun.

"This Qi Yuanliang probably has another plan in mind!"

It’s simply that the reason Qi Yuanliang came up with was somewhat insulting.

Bandits causing chaos?

If it were true, with Qi Yuanliang’s Innate Realm cultivation, wouldn’t it be an easy matter to resolve? Why would he need to seek help from Ye Liuyun?

"No worries!"

In response to Si Nan’s reminder.

Ye Liuyun shrugged it off with a smile and, waving a hand, said directly.

"If he wants to plot against me, why wouldn’t I want to plot against him? There are only two positions for Governor, someone must step down for me to rise."

As for Qi Yuanliang really dying.

Whether others will vie with Ye Liuyun for the Southern Governor position, Ye Liuyun wasn’t worried at all.

It’s a joke.

With the Grandmaster Realm cultivation here, Ye Liuyun was eager to see who dared to contest the position.

"This, "

Si Nan was astonished.

Obviously, he didn’t expect his master to set sights on Qi Yuanliang’s Southern Governor position.

Though surprised.

Yet after a brief astonishment, Si Nan became thrilled.

As the saying goes, when one person attains enlightenment, even their pets ascend to heaven.

If Ye Liuyun became the Southern Garrison Commander’s Office, then surely there would be plenty of benefits for those under his command.

"Then, congratulations to Master in advance for the Governor position."

In Si Nan’s view, considering Ye Liuyun’s abilities, if he truly intends to do something, there’s no way anyone can stop him.

Being powerful sometimes comes with privileges.

"Alright!"

Saying congratulations should wait until it actually happens. Ye Liuyun had no habit of premature celebrations.

Waving a hand, he interrupted Si Nan and ordered directly.

"Investigate the news about Prince Jin. Although I don’t know Qi Yuanliang’s specific purpose, it’s definitely related to Prince Jin!"

The descriptions in the dossiers were too one-sided.

It’s certainly not wrong to investigate a bit more thoroughly.

"Yes, Master!"

Hearing Ye Liuyun’s arrangement.

Si Nan had no objections, and after agreeing earnestly, he turned to leave and work on it.

As for Shi Sheng.

"You gather some capable individuals. We don’t need many this time, but they must be loyal. I don’t want any backstabbers during the operation, understood?"

Ye Liuyun trusted Shi Sheng and Si Nan fairly well.

But the rest of the subordinates.

Were all gathered by Shi Sheng and Si Nan; Ye Liuyun hardly managed them.

"Understood!"

Understanding his Master’s intention, Shi Sheng nodded earnestly, then left as well.

Looking around at the empty surroundings, Ye Liuyun suddenly laughed.

"Let’s see, who can outsmart whom!"

Qi Yuanliang wanted to plot against him, and he also intended to plot against him; well then, let’s see who ends up dead in the end.

,,,

"Shadow!"

At the same time, upon returning.

Qi Yuanliang immediately summoned Shadow.

Looking at the figure in black clothes before him, Qi Yuanliang nodded in satisfaction before speaking directly.

"In the coming period, keep a close watch on Ye Liuyun. Any news of his, report to me immediately, understand?"

"Yes, Master!"

Shadow was indeed a confidant subordinate of Qi Yuanliang.

Having done many things for Qi Yuanliang.

Upon hearing Qi Yuanliang’s orders, Shadow didn’t have any objections, nor did he ask unnecessary questions, he simply agreed.

"Very good!"

Qi Yuanliang smiled with satisfaction, signaling to Shadow that he could withdraw.

Seeing Shadow retreating into shadows once again, disappearing without a trace, a gleam flashed in Qi Yuanliang’s eyes.

"If you can’t be used by me, let me use your last spark before you die!"

The main purpose this time for Qi Yuanliang was actually to deal with Prince Jin.

Just as well, Ye Liuyun is strong enough, and coupled with his defiant nature, he couldn’t be used by Qi Yuanliang.
