<h4>Chapter 459 End of the Victory Banquet (2)</h4>


    "Qian Xing?" Lin Yuan asked.


    "I''ll be going first. Be careful."


    "Yes."


    Long Qian Xing didn''t give any specific order because there were a lot of other martial artist in the main hall. If he were to say anything that was too specific, there might be other people who would hear him.


    At the same time, his mind thought of Madam Wen as he didn''t expect her to be able to stay alive all this time. It seemed that her luck was quite great to be able to survive for so long even though her condition was already that bad.


    ''I guess I should put another tile inside.''


    While thinking, Long Qian Xing didn''t stop walking. Unlike other guests who came out of the main hall to return home, Long Qian Xing was heading into the inner pce. The road he picked barely had any guard and it was very quiet.


    Before long, he had arrived in a small building and entered inside. After entering, Long Qian Xing proceeded to climb the stairs until he reached the top where a young man was sitting with a book in front of him.


    "You''rete." The man, Emperor Yang Zhou, looked up.


    Long Qian Xing shrugged. "Ask your mother why she even want to give me a concubine when I don''t want any."


    Emperor Yang Zhou''s eyes shed when he heard that. He had known Long Qian Xing for a long time and naturally knew that Long Qian Xing abhorred the thought of even having a concubine. If he wanted to lose Long Qian Xing, all he had to do was to force this man to have a lot of concubines.


    He was sure that it wouldn''t take one day for Long Qian Xing to defect to another kingdom.


    "Sorry," Emperor Yang Zhou was regretful for not being able to move faster.


    "It''s not your fault." Long Qian Xing shook his head.


    "You hold back because I''m not strong enough." Emperor Yang Zhou knew that if Long Qian Xing truly wanted to make enemies out of Empress Dowager Mei, it wouldn''t matter at all for Long Qian Xing. The Long Family behind him was more than enough to give him standing to go against her.


    It would only be a bit difficult for some time.


    "If I do that, you''ll have to show off one of your cards too early." Long Qian Xing was calm. "It''s just one step back."


    Emperor Yang Zhou looked at Long Qian Xing as his mind calmly calcted the things that had urred. "Are you not angry?"


    "Hmm, I ought to teach them a bit of a lesson, right? I''m sure my grandmother would not want me to have too many people eyeing the position beside me aside from the rightful one." Long Qian Xing chuckled. "I''ll just give them warning."


    "The rumors will be scary."


    "I won''t be returning."


    One sentence. It was clear that during the period of time when Shangguan Mi stayed in Long Family Residence and suffered there, Long Qian Xing would not even go back home. Just like his father, he would stay at the frontline and spent his time there without even bothering to go back home.


    Marrying either this father or son would be the same as marrying a eunuch.


    Or even a ghost.


    Since they wouldn''t even be able to see the other party.


    Even Emperor Yang Zhou felt some pity for those women who aimed big but ended up in this situation. But the pity disappeared not long afterwards. They were the one who decided to jump into this pit without understanding Long Qian Xing enough.


    Long Qian Xing is a gentleman?


    Those who said that must have their brain flooded with water.


    After interacting with Long Qian Xing for a long time, Emperor Yang Zhou knew how calctive and cunning this man was. Long Qian Xing would always pick the decision that he felt would bring him the biggest benefit.


    Sometimes, it looked like he took a step back.


    But at other times, he would leap forward several steps when others were unaware of.


    It was just….


    "Women are vengeful, so you should make sure that you didn''t step over the line," Emperor Yang Zhou reminded.


    Long Qian Xing nodded. "I will talk to herter."


    "Don''t be too obvious either."


    "… Did you turn into Lin Yuan?"


    The one who kept giving Long Qian Xing''s advice about how to treat women was Lin Yuan. It was to the point that Long Qian Xing wondered whether Lin Yuan wanted to do business or want to chase women.


    Emperor Yang Zhou let out a faintugh. He looked at Long Qian Xing for a moment and said, "I''ll deal with her."


    Long Qian Xing nodded.


    Being Empress Dowager Mei''s son, Emperor Yang Zhou would be the most suitable person to deal with her.


    "I still can''t understand how did youe out from that woman''s womb and that man''s contribution." Long Qian Xing sighed.


    Emperor Yang Zhou was one of the few people whom Long Qian Xing admired. But thinking about Emperor Yang Zhou''s parents… Long Qian Xing would have immediate headache.


    Neither one of them seemed to be the smart type.


    "I must have inherited my grandfather''s gene." Emperor Yang Zhou also didn''t know what to say. It was not like he could choose what kind of parent he had when he was born.


    Emperor Yang Zhou''s grandfather was a wise person. Long Qian Xing''s only regret after hearing his story was that he didn''t born a few years earlier and gained his memory even earlier so that he could talk with that emperor.


    Thankfully, Emperor Yang Zhou himself was not that bad.


    "And Imperial Mother is not always like this."


    Long Qian Xing was staring at Emperor Yang Zhou, his gaze clearly showed that he didn''t believe it.


    Emperor Yang Zhou smiled helplessly. "At least, not this bad."


    "Right."


    Emperor Yang Zhou coughed. "Let''s stop talking about this. There''s another matter: they''re also making their move."


    "Tell me more."
