Chapter 704: Chapter 345: Do you want the Tenth Brother to lose me as his Fourth Brother?_3
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The emperor withdrew his feet from the imperial table, and his expression suddenly turned very serious. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "After Fourth visits Tenth, reveal Tenth’s whereabouts to Li Jue."
Sun Kui was so shocked by these words that he suddenly looked up at the emperor.
The usually expressionless Hidden Guard A even showed a slight look of surprise on his face.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The emperor waved at Hidden Guard A, who then retreated.
"Your Majesty, are you testing the Tenth Prince again?" Sun Kui felt the emperor was being too ruthless. Not long ago, the Tenth Prince was captured by Li Jue and nearly killed by him. Fortunately, the Tenth Prince was extraordinarily clever and deceived Li Jue, escaping from under his hand. When Li Jue learned that the Tenth Prince had tricked him, he sent people to search every house for him. If it weren’t for the skills of people under Prince Wei, the Tenth Prince might have already been caught by Li Jue. Given Li Jue’s temperament and methods, if the Tenth Prince falls into his hands again, he might not survive.
The emperor raised a meaningful smile and said, "Li Jue is a toy I’ve left for Tenth."
"A toy?" Sun Kui was full of confusion. "Your Majesty, do you want the Tenth Prince to toy with Li Jue?"
"Li Jue, although arrogant and conceited, is capable and cunning. If he can be tamed, he would be a good assistant."
Sun Kui was shocked: "Your Majesty, you want Li Jue to assist the Tenth Prince?"
"Lingnan is by the sea. If Tenth can tame Li Jue, Li Jue can help him a lot in the future." This was why the emperor had not killed Li Jue.
"Your Majesty, that Li Jue is a ruthless person. Are you sure the Tenth Prince can tame him?" Sun Kui felt the emperor was playing with fire again.
The emperor did not answer Sun Kui’s question but instead asked, "Do you think Li Jue or Tenth is smarter?"
Sun Kui did not answer. He did not think the Tenth Prince was smarter than Li Jue. Although the Tenth Prince had deceived Li Jue once before, Li Jue would never fall for it a second time. Moreover, Li Jue was older than the Tenth Prince and grew up in the Salt Gang. In terms of cunning and tactics, the Tenth Prince had neither the experience nor the ruthlessness of Li Jue. Most importantly, Li Jue was the mastermind behind the scenes in Jinling.
"You think Li Jue is more formidable than Tenth?"
"Your Majesty, the Tenth Prince is still young."
The emperor chuckled lightly: "Don’t be fooled by Tenth’s appearance of innocence; this boy has eight hundred tricks up his sleeve. In terms of cunning and strategy, Li Jue is no match for Tenth."
"I didn’t see the Tenth Prince having eight hundred tricks."
"Just wait and see."
Sun Kui saw the emperor’s anticipation for a show and couldn’t help but feel deeply sympathetic for Zhao Yao, far away in Jinling, in his heart.
At this moment, Zhao Yao sneezed unexpectedly: "Achoo! Who’s talking about me?"
The prince Chu, who had already infiltrated Jinling, found Prince Wei. The two were currently having tea in an unremarkable teahouse in Jinling City.
As soon as Prince Wei saw Prince Chu, his expression soured, and he sarcastically taunted, "You really have guts, daring to sneak into Jinling."
Ignoring Prince Wei’s mocking tone, Prince Chu directly stated his purpose for the meeting.
"I want to see Tenth Brother."
"Didn’t you come to Jinling to investigate the whereabouts of the stolen copper?"
Prince Chu repeated again, "I want to see Tenth Brother."
"Tenth Brother is doing well; you don’t need to see him."
Prince Chu looked coldly at Prince Wei and said once more, "I want to see Tenth Brother."
Prince Wei’s face turned bleak and he answered coldly, "You think you can just see him on demand."
"I have my ways to see Tenth Brother. Are you sure you want me to use those methods?" Prince Chu’s tone was calm but filled with threat.
Prince Wei’s expression suddenly became dark, his gaze icy as he stared at Prince Chu.
"Threatening me on my territory, do you really think I won’t do anything to you?"
"Do you want Tenth Brother to lose me, his Fourth Brother?"
This remark caused Prince Wei’s expression to stiffen, and he then replied with a chilling tone, "Tomorrow night, I’ll arrange for Tenth Brother to meet with you." If he let Prince Chu go to Zhao Yao himself, it would be troublesome for Prince Wei.
"Alright."
"After you see Tenth Brother, you will leave Jinling at once."
"If you tell me the whereabouts of the stolen copper, I’ll leave right after seeing Tenth Brother."
Prince Wei hadn’t expected Prince Chu to be so shameless; he replied with a sinister smile, "You really dare to make demands."
Prince Chu did not speak, silently watching Prince Wei.
"Don’t even think about it; you can investigate the whereabouts of the stolen copper yourself." After saying this, Prince Wei added a mocking tone, "If you can’t even find the stolen copper, you’re truly useless."
