"An Susu?"
The man sitting high on the platform frowned tightly.
The men below were shivering, with their heads down, not daring to look at the man on the seat.
"Did she really say that?"
"Reporting to my lord, she did say so."
The man leaned over and asked the person beside him.
"How come I don't know when I offended this An Susu?"
Even though he was in the State of Cangwu, he had heard of An Susu's reputation. Before the Zhao family rose to power, there were four major families standing side by side in the Great Wilderness of Dongze.
And the An family was the leader of the four major families.
Even after all these years, while the other three major families had perished one after another, the An family was still a prominent one and hadn't fallen.
"The old man heard that the person they chased yesterday was from the Great Wilderness of Dongze."
"I know that. That person should be from Shuiyunsheng. But what's the relationship between the people of Shuiyunsheng and the An family? And what's the relationship with An Susu?"
The old man also shook his head in confusion.
Although they were confused, they believed this statement to an extent of seven or eight out of ten.
The people who came back said.
The other party was a woman.
And she was wearing white clothes.
Qi Huan had heard a long time ago that An Susu from the Great Wilderness of Dongze was not only pure in appearance, but also had the habit of wearing white clothes.
Moreover.
Among the people on the Nine Provinces Continent, there were really few women who had such powerful abilities.
Most of these high - level cultivators were upright people who followed the right path in the world. They should not do such despicable things as framing others.
"My lord, your subordinate has confirmed it again and again. That woman really said so. Moreover, she didn't kill us, but destroyed our spiritual roots. My lord, that woman is so provocative to you. She must not put you in her eyes. She is dealing with us now, and maybe she will come after you later."
Qi Huan said nothing.
He stood up.
Why did An Susu suddenly attack the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion?
Right.
It was said that there seemed to be some people from the An family in Shuiyunsheng. Could it be that the person they chased yesterday was An Susu's person?
Was she trying to warn him this time?
Qi Huan's influence spread all over the State of Cangwu, and he got a lot of inside information.
He always kept an extra eye on the affairs of such big families.
"If that's the case, it makes sense."
She must have thought that he was the first one to be against her.
However.
That An Susu was too arrogant.
Anyway, this was the State of Cangwu, not the Great Wilderness of Dongze, nor the An family. If he had touched her people, she could just send someone to talk to him, instead of directly coming and crippling so many of his trusted subordinates.
And leaving such harsh words.
Did she really think that he, Qi Huan, was easy to bully?
"Prime Minister, think twice before you act."
"Old Master Qin, people are already at my door. If I don't fight back, it will be an indelible stain on my life after I achieve great things in the future."
"Maybe there is another hidden story in this matter."
"Then what do you think, Old Master Qin? How many women in the world can destroy the spiritual roots of dozens of people at the same time? And this woman is extremely beautiful and likes to wear white clothes?"
The old man was speechless.
He just shook his head.
"Does Old Master Qin still think that a girl in her teens or twenties can have such abilities?"
"Do you still remember what that woman looked like?" the old man asked.
The men below nodded.
Then they shook their heads.
It was night at that time, and they didn't see clearly.
"Old Master Qin, when we fought with that woman before, we could sense that she was indeed not from the State of Cangwu. There was no smell of the mysterious frost flower that a powerful person should have on her. On the contrary, her moves were indeed from the Great Wilderness of Dongze, and even her aura was very strong."
"Are you sure that she is from the Great Wilderness of Dongze?"
The man kneeling at the front below raised his head and replied, "I'm sure of this, my lord. We have fought with the people from the Great Wilderness of Dongze many times. Her spiritual power is indeed permeated with the aura of the Great Wilderness of Dongze."
Old Master Qin frowned tightly at this time.
Could it be.
Was it really An Susu as the prime minister said?
"Old Master Qin, the truth is right in front of us. Don't be so cautious. Come here—"
Qi Huan's slightly angry voice came out.
After a while.
Several people walked into the main hall.
"Your subordinate pays respects to my lord!"
"Do we have any death - squads in the Great Wilderness of Dongze?"
"Reporting to my lord, yes. They are all over the capital of the Great Wilderness of Dongze. Now they are all very well - hidden, monitoring the actions of several big families and the changes in the national situation."
"Tell them not to lie low anymore. Seize the opportunity and cause trouble for the people of the An family."
"Your subordinate obeys."
Qi Huan sat back on his seat.
He was a man who was going to be the monarch of a country. If he didn't even dare to say a word when faced with a woman's provocation, no one would submit to him when he became the king in the future.
Old Master Qin shook his head.
He always felt.
This matter.
There seemed to be something fishy about it.
Over the years, if it weren't for Old Master Qin, this old fox, guiding Qi Huan, he couldn't have taken every step so steadily.
"Prime Minister."
The old man wanted to say something else.
But Qi Huan waved his hand.
"Old Master Qin, I respect you. But just as you said, the king is the king, and the minister is the minister. A minister cannot disobey the king's order. I can listen to your opinions, but when it comes to making decisions, it should still be up to me first."
"The old man understands."
"Old Master Qin is tired. Go back to your room and rest first."
"Prime Minister, you should rest in the mansion tonight. You should take good care of your body."
"I know my own body well. Don't worry about me, Old Master Qin. As for you, you're an old man. You should take good rest. It's understandable that you can't do some things."
He was still young.
There were still many things he could do.
Now that he was in his prime, if he didn't do things according to his own will, he would have no energy when he got old.
Old Master Qin finally sighed.
He said slowly, "The old man is really old. I want to go back to Xiangxi to rest for a while. I hope the prime minister will allow it."
"Allowed."
Qi Huan agreed directly without even thinking.
It could be seen that he had been tolerating the old man for so many years and had reached his limit.
As long as Old Master Qin was around, he couldn't spend all day reciting poems and painting, nor could he linger in the brothels, and he couldn't pursue the women he liked as he wished.
Now that everything was ready, all that was left was to close the net.
The role of Old Master Qin was no longer that important.
The old man left.
Qi Huan felt extremely relieved.
All the old man's teachings and admonitions in the past were now thrown out of his mind.
"Prime Minister, what about tonight?"
"The old rule."
The man smiled darkly.
There was.
Full of gloom on his face.
His Qi family had been loyal "servants" for so many generations. It was time for them to turn over and become the supreme beings one day.
"Everything will go according to the plan."
