Capital City, still that beautiful place.
Only, the maple leaves on the mountain had turned red.
The middle-aged man in the pavilion had already put on autumn wear.
"Getting older, really does make me somewhat wary of the autumn chill,"
he said, smiling as he drank a cup of tea.
The tea was strong and aromatic.
"Your Majesty, have you heard about what happened in Xiongcheng City?"
The woman kneeling beside him, serving tea, asked as she brewed the tea.
"Hmm."
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "The Xiao Family from Jiangnan has given me quite a surprise, but now that they've been purging those families, their goal aligns with mine.
So, I'm not planning on making a move against them for now."
"Your Majesty, do you think the person behind them is the Zhou Family?"
The woman asked again.
"The Zhou Family?"
The middle-aged man scoffed, "What merit or ability does the Zhou Family have to support such a powerful Xiao Family? They haven't even sorted out their own issues.
