Capítulo 53: Chapter 53: Avenging Humiliation_1

King Liang sat before the roaring fireplace wrapped in a heavy cloak. The bright flames cast a reddish glow on his deathly pale face. His phoenix eyes were dark, contemplating who knows what.

Du Zhiwei, King Liang's advisor, had planned everything before his death...

He first had King Liang work under the guise of serving King Xin, urging King Xin to compete for military merits against the Duke of Zhen. The current emperor was already dissatisfied with the Duke due to his numerous military accolades, so he quickly permitted his favorite son to go to the frontlines and oversee the military, even giving King Xin a golden command arrow.

Later, Liu Huanzhang was secretly instructed to communicate with the King of Nanyan, aiming to wipe out the Bai family while all the men were with the Duke of Zhen.
