No one had ever heard that Fu Yunchen had a younger brother. Long Qian was also astonished that Fu Yunchen would introduce him in this way.
"Brother, what did you say?"
"Since you're calling me 'brother,' you're naturally my younger brother."
Long Qian suddenly stood up from her chair, looked at Fu Yunchen, and after a moment, sat down again. "Brother, you're so cunning!"
Fu Yunchen glanced at him indifferently.
Your brother will always be your brother.
He always knew what Long Qian wanted: his acceptance and recognition. Long Qian's greatest fear was loneliness, being alone.
When he was little, only he would keep him company; even his mother disliked him!
As the mother of the Red Witch King, she harbored an instinctive hatred for the Black Witches, especially since she had given birth to one.
If it weren't for maternal instinct, Long Qian might not have survived at all.
Thus, even his closest relative, his mother, hated him and didn't want to see him. Therefore, any kindness shown to him seemed all the more unusual.
“This time, Chongyang Prefecture was attacked from both sides by the Wu Kingdom and the Central Jin Dynasty.” Fu Yunchen looked at Long Qian. “If I find out that you did something underhanded, I will no longer have you as my brother.”
Upon hearing this, Long Qian's body suddenly trembled!
Zi Wu immediately glanced at Long Qian, thinking to himself: He didn't listen to advice, and now he regrets it! He has never won against Fu Yunchen.
Long Qian's eyes, seemingly veiled by a thin mist, subtly glanced at Fu Yunchen.
Seeing his expression, Fu Yunchen knew he must have done something wrong, and his face darkened. "Tell the truth, and I'll let you off this time."
Long Qian pursed his lips and replied truthfully, "Emperor Wu originally planned to attack Chongyang Prefecture in twenty days, but at my urging, he moved it forward."
Everyone was in an uproar.
Fu Yunchen was not surprised at all, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Go back immediately and make Wu Jun retreat."
“If that’s the case, it’s the same if Ziwu goes back.” Long Qian casually tossed his attendant aside.
Zi Wu: "..."
Fu Yunchen said, "I want to see the Wu army retreat within three days. If the Wu army doesn't retreat, you can forget about ever setting foot in Chongyang Mountain again, and you can forget about ever seeing Huanhuan!"
Long Qian turned to Zi Wu and said, "Hurry up and go. Use whatever means you want to make the Wu army retreat."
"Yes, sir." Ziwu could only clasp his hands in a salute. "Please take good care of yourself, my lord."
Look, they've been completely outmaneuvered again.
Never learns from mistakes!
We absolutely have to provoke them!
...
Qiao Dongzi said, "It would be best if the Wu Kingdom could withdraw its troops. However, on the Zhongjin Dynasty side, Liu Lao Er is familiar with us. Right now, we have the eldest brother's killing formation to hold us off, but this is not a long-term solution."
Hongmi stood up and suggested, "Could we ask the boss to set up that killing formation in Xiangcheng and wipe out the Zhongjin Dynasty in one fell swoop?"
Instantly, Fu Yunchen became the focus of everyone's attention.
Long Qian suddenly chuckled sinisterly, "This method is not bad."
Fu Yunchen glanced at him.
The laughter stopped immediately, and Long Qian sat down properly.
Fu Yunchen said, "The killing formation is based on the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, as well as the timing and location. Although it can be set up in Xiangcheng, there is a dragon vein beneath Xiangcheng, and the dragon energy protects the city, so the effect will be minimal."
"Oh." Hongmi sat back down.
Yan Zhengkun stood up and said, "I think we can wait. The Northern Jin Dynasty has always wanted to swallow up the Central Jin Dynasty. Now is a good time. The Northern Jin Dynasty may take action. When that happens, we can form an alliance with the Northern Jin Dynasty, and the Central Jin Dynasty will be in danger."
Fu Yunchen said, "The Northern Jin Dynasty will make a move. But for now, we should capture the leader first and kill Liu Lao Er."
Qiao Dongzi accepted the order, saying, "Your subordinate is willing to go."
Fu Yunchen said, "You go with Long Qian."
Long Qian, who had been sitting and watching the commotion, was suddenly called out. "What?"
Fu Yunchen said, "Didn't you want Huanhuan to learn from you? You have to show her what you're capable of."
“…” Long Qian knew he was going to suffer this loss, but then he had a sudden idea and said, “Since I want Huanhuan to see my skills, I need to bring Huanhuan with me.”
Fu Yunchen refused, "No."
Long Qian leaned lazily against the back of his chair and muttered to himself, "I'll secretly take her away."
"Say it again." Fu Yunchen's serious and composed expression, which had been fixed since he entered, suddenly changed.
The air in the entire council chamber became suffocating, making it hard to breathe.
Everyone's expression changed.
Only Long Qian remained smiling, looking at Fu Yunchen with ease and beauty.
The two brothers were evenly matched in their fierce confrontation.
Finally, it was Steward Yang who came in from outside, carrying a large plate of tangerines.
But as soon as he stepped inside, he was startled and quickly knelt on the ground, saying, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger."
Fu Yunchen then composed himself and said to Steward Yang, "Go down first."
Manager Yang put down the oranges and hurriedly left.
Hongmi then distributed an orange to everyone.
When it was Long Qian's turn, she placed the oranges on his tea table and gave him an extra look.
He looked at her with a smile, but it sent a chill down her spine... This person is dangerous and should be avoided!
"Everyone has had a long day, so go home and rest early. If there's anything, we can discuss it in the council hall tomorrow morning at 7:00 AM." Fu Yunchen left first.
Long Qian played with the oranges until everyone had left before getting up from his chair.
Although Hongmi didn't want to provoke Long Qian, considering that his servant had already left and it was all for the sake of Chongyang Prefecture, she turned back. "Young Master Long, would you like to rest at an inn?"
“Okay.” Long Qian did not refuse.
Hongmi: "..." She was just being polite!
Long Qian followed Hongmi.
