Chapter 831 - Chapter 831: Don’t Go Downstream Chapter 831: Don’t Go Downstream
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Xue Yan saw that Jiang Yue had returned to her own room, only then did he push open his door and enter.
Sure enough, Shao Zhongxi was sitting on the bed while Qi Yin stood close to him.
The chessboard and two jars for the chess pieces were placed on each side of the board.
When Shao Zhongxi saw him enter, he changed his seat and sat down.
It was obvious that the older man was asking him to play chess.
Xue Yan was clearly being tested.
Xue Yan grimaced and closed the door. He then sat opposite Shao Zhongxi, next to the chessboard.
Shao Zhongxi started with the white pieces, while Xue Yan played with the black pieces.
After a few seconds, Shao Zhongxi glared at him coldly and asked, “You really don’t have any skills?”
“Yes.” Xue Yan unhurriedly placed another piece down.
Shao Zhongxi looked at the black and white pieces on the chessboard. After a while, he also placed a white piece on the board and said, “Since ancient times, those who achieved great things were all skilled in both martial arts and the art of war.’
Only then did Xue Yan look at him. “Will you be willing to teach me?”
Shao Zhongxi also looked at him. Then, he raised his hand and destroyed the chess game on the chessboard. “There’s no need to play anymore. I’m not as good as you.”
Xue Yan carefully stared at him.
Shao Zhongxi closed his eyes for a while before opening them again. “When do you plan to start?”
Xue Yan looked back at him without hesitating, “Probably after the New Year.”
“After your identity is resolved?” “Yes.
Shao Zhongxi said nothing.
“At that time, I still plan to stay in Xinyuan County.”
“Got it. I’ll stay in Xinyuan County from now on.”
“Thank you.”
Shao Zhongxi stayed at Xue Yan’s place until midnight before he left. Locust Village was very peaceful, but the people related to the Ji family were not to be trifled with.
It was going to be December 22nd very soon, and things were about to get ugly.
It was time to uproot the Ji family from Da Ling.
The Ji family was already under control. On the night the Ji family was under control, Consort Yi and Prince Yi’s chambers were under house arrest.
The wife of the Minister of Revenue went to the Ji family and could not enter at all. This made the Minister of Revenue notice that something was wrong, so the Minister of Revenue’s house was also being monitored.
Some officials that worked with the Ji family in the Imperial Capital were also held back. Those who resisted were immediately killed.
Turns out, the Ji family was stronger than they thought as many of their subordinates were not in the Imperial Capital. Before those officials realized that something was wrong, Emperor Hao had already made a move on them.
They were all caught off guard.
The other old subordinates of the Ji family had been taken care of by Ji Xiehui and Shao Shuting. They were the two that had received a secret edict. Some were killed and some were captured. Only an old subordinate named Bao bravely led a few people who had sworn to protect the Ji family broke off the siege and almost crossed the river.
Coincidentally, a small boat stopped by the river.
It was unknown which fisherman had parked it here.
When Ji Xiehui received the secret decree, he had clearly ordered that no boats were allowed to stop by the river.
The other side of the river was where the commoners lived. There were several villages there. The Emperor had instructed them not to harm a single commoner.
Ji Xiehui and Shao Shuting were shocked by the appearance of the boat.
The river was too cold and bone-piercing. Once the two generals went in, their bodies immediately shivered from the cold. They could not swim across or stop him.
The river was too wide and it would take too long to go around it. By the time they went around it, Bao would have already run ashore..
