r.”"Having paused for half a cup of tea, King Zhao should have an answer by now." The Saintess pressed forward step by step.Li Yinhu's breath hitched. He wanted to get angry, but facing the saintess w...Chapter 346 Here, it used to be Duan's residence.

Long Huaiyu had just arrived and before coming, he had devoted all his thoughts to investigating the information about the Crown Prince, Zhao Wang, and Zhao Xuanji. How could he possibly know these things So he honestly shook his head, indicating that he was unaware.

The old man said calmly, “Here, a month ago, it was called Duanfu, also the old man’s home.”

Long Huaiyu, upon hearing this, didn't react immediately.

When the two characters "duanfu" echoed in his mind twice, the information that came to him instantly made his whole body go numb.

Great job!

Dongge University Scholar, Duan Jinjiang!

A legendary figure who had controlled the Ministry of War for over a decade, even Zhao Xuance, the chief assistant minister, couldn't completely control him in the end, and could only compromise and cooperate with each other.

Who else could the owner of Duanfu be

Long Huaiyu's eyes widened in terror.

The Duan Jianjiang case shook the nation, and to this day people still don't know how Duan Jianjiang, a high-ranking Grand Scholar of the Eastern Pavilion University and a core figure in the imperial court, could have fallen from grace overnight and met his demise.

Long Huaiyu could know that there was bound to be darkness and power struggles within, but he never thought he would one day face this 'deceased' person.

"You, you're not dead!"

Long Huaiyu's words made Duan Jinjiang laugh out loud.

"Dead I don't want to die! No one in the world can kill me!"

Du Jianjiang's expression gradually became ferocious and crazed. He stood up and walked to Long Huaiyu's face, speaking in a tone that made Long Huaiyu's skin crawl: "What a good age this is. If my son were still alive, he would be the same age as you, at his prime, full of vigor and ambition, just when one should be building a career and enjoying the best years of their life. But just a few months ago, he died."

"But now, your father is dead and my son is dead. That's why I reach out to you, to share the burden of this blood feud. Don't you want revenge"

Long Huaiyu is not excited now......but afraid.

Any normal person, facing someone who is theoretically already dead and talking about taking revenge together, would be terrified.

"You, how can I trust you"

Long Huaiyu's words made Duan Jianjiang sneer.

“This room, it was once my secret annex, and inside that annex there's a passageway known only to me.”

"Go push on the corner of the bed. There's a protruding stone underneath. Press down on it."

Long Huaiyu, doubtful at first, came to the bedside and followed Duan Jinjiang's suggestion. He really found a protruding stone.

After pressing it, there was a booming sound, and the entire bed moved aside, revealing a dimly lit cave just barely big enough for one person to crawl into.

Long Huaiyu, seeing this, plopped down on the ground with a thud, his face pale with terror. "You are really Duan Jinjiang!"

Duan Jiangjiang chuckled and said, "Old man doesn't have time to fool you."

"But you're already dead, aren't you" Long Huaiyu exclaimed in horror.

Duan Jinjiang said, "For so many years that I have held power, how could I not have some trump cards up my sleeve As I just said, in this world, if I don't want to die, no one can kill me."

As he spoke, a sudden commotion of hurried footsteps echoed from outside, as if many people were rapidly approaching.

Duan Jinjiang let out a cold snort and said to Long Huaivy, "The person who is going to kill you has arrived. Are you coming with this old man, or are you staying here to reunite with your father in the underworld"

Long Huaiyu gritted her teeth and said sharply, "One last question, why did you come to save me!"

"A shared blood feud, a common enemy. This old man is a madman, seeking another kindred spirit to topple this world and plunge countless souls into hell, so that my son won't have to walk alone on this path!"ecisely because of his consistent display of strength and ability that many prominent aristocratic clans and large tribes were deeply wary of him.The stronger they are, the more power they need, and t...
