Chương 187: Chapter 186: Lure the Snake out of its Hole

"Your Majesty, the south is suffering from a severe drought, resulting in a famine. The people have no food to eat and are forced to dig for roots and eat tree bark. Many have starved to death because of this."

Seated on his high throne, the King of Qi was puzzled, "Why are the people so foolish? If they can't eat rice, why don't they eat meat congee?"

The minister didn't know how to respond and stuttered before finally saying, "As you command."

The King of Qi nodded, told the minister to leave, and thought that the people sometimes stuck to old ways and couldn't adapt. As an emperor, he needed to think of clever solutions.

After the minister left, a person in a black robe quietly arrived in the palace. He lifted his hood, revealing he was the master of Qingming Tower.

Unknown to the three men in red, the renowned Master of Qingming Tower in the world of martial arts was also a court official.
