Chapter 11198: Chapter 11197: The Great Battle!

” And if we’re talking about ordinary rules, there are very few who have the ability to take out more than ten rules at once.”

“Compared to them, you’re very competitive.”

In other words, he had already guessed that Lin Yi must have more man-made rules in his hands than the ten man-made rules.

After all, anyone who wasn’t a fool wouldn’t use all their trump cards at once.

As for the reason behind it, the King of Zhao had no intention of asking.

Curiosity was one thing, but if he really wanted to get to the bottom of it, that would be crossing the line. Unless he didn’t want to work with Lin Yi, he wouldn’t do something so stupid.

Lin Yi’s eyes lit up.

The Rules Design Institute of the Chu royal residence was just icing on the cake for the other royal residences, but it was a timely help for him.

It was a rare opportunity. Once he missed this opportunity, it would be difficult to find another shop like this in the future.

“I’m afraid the Chu royal family might not be willing to make this deal with me.” Lin Yi frowned.

He had a conflict with Chu Wang, and while it wasn’t a deep grudge, Chu Wang’s personality made it difficult for him to hand over his Rules Design Institute to Lin Yi.

King Zhao suggested,” Why don’t we do it this way? The King of Zhao’s Residence will offer ten rules, and you can offer another ten. We will bid together. If the bid is successful, the Chu royal residence’s Rules Design Institute will belong to you, and we will split the profits according to the ratio. What do you think?”

“I’m taking advantage of you like this. Isn’t that inappropriate?”

Lin Yi was surprised.

King Zhao smiled and looked at Zhao Feng. He said meaningfully,” Don’t look at me as a boor. I know a thing or two about investing. It’s not a loss for me to invest in you.”

Lin Yi blinked and didn’t decline.” Since you’re so kind, I’ll accept.”

“Good, young people should be so straightforward.”

” Oh, right. After we get the Rules Design Institute, arrange a position for Feng ‘er. She will be the representative of the Zhao family.”

“No problem.” Lin Yi nodded.

Zhao Feng stole a glance at him. Did you understand what he meant and just agreed to it?

Lin Yi went back to the guest room to rest after settling the terms of the cooperation with Zhao Wang. He immediately entered the new world and connected with Guan Zhengxuan.

Since it concerned the Chu royal residence, he could use that most important chess piece.

But before that, there were some preparations that needed Guan Zhengxuan’s cooperation.

After the contact, even Guan Zhengxuan himself didn’t realize that the whole infiltration plan was led by Lin Yi. He became the logistics support.

But then again, Lin Yi was able to gain a foothold in the Inner Court so quickly, and Guan Zhengxuan was willing to work for him.

Not to mention that Lin Yi had caught the eye of the god.

The next day, Lin Yi and Zhao Wang appeared together and knocked on the door of the Chu royal residence.

This scene was quickly spread by people with ill intentions.

In just a day, the incident at the Zhao Estate had spread like wildfire throughout the entire capital. The intelligence departments of the various large factions were operating at full capacity, trying to pry out the inside story.

The most important thing was that they wanted to find out how much of the Zhao King’s estate still had.

Now, Zhao Wang was out in the open with Lin Yi beside him.

The key was that they had appeared at the Chu royal residence at this moment, and it was obvious that they were here to bargain.

The intention behind this was obvious.

The Chu royal residence didn’t welcome Lin Yi, but King Zhao was standing there, and he had to treat them with respect.

At the same time.

In a secret chamber in the Chu royal residence.

Bai Shizu played with his fan leisurely. Sitting opposite him was Chu Zhongyuan, the second in command of the Chu royal residence and the most trusted uncle of the Chu royal family, Wang Zuo.

After being silent for a long time, Chu Zhongyuan remained unmoved.

Bai Shizu chuckled.” Your skills are indeed extraordinary. However, all the clues now point to you. I’m afraid it’s not practical to just pretend to be dead.”

” The so-called clues that Manager Bai mentioned are all groundless accusations,” Chu Zhongyuan said lightly.” They have nothing to do with me.”

“Is that so?”

Bai Shizu looked at him meaningfully and said,” A wild goose leaves its mark. Nothing that has ever happened in this world can be erased completely. You might as well think about it carefully. With the means of the Safety Inspection Department, can these things of yours really be investigated?”

Chu Zhongyuan’s face remained indifferent.

However, it was only a moment of hesitation, and for Bai Shizu, who was an expert among experts, he had already obtained the answer.

In fact, both sides understood that from the moment all kinds of seemingly non-existent clues were gathered in Bai Shizu’s hands, both sides had already entered the stage of an open game.

Chu Zhongyuan shook his head calmly.” These clues of yours don’t hold water. They can’t convince anyone, let alone my king.”

“Everything depends on one’s efforts. There are some things that you won’t know if you don’t try.”

Bai Shizu had a playful expression on his face.” Actually, I don’t need to hammer you to death. With the current situation of the Chu royal residence, as long as news of you being suspected of being a spy spreads, it will immediately descend into chaos. When that time comes, the heroes will be eyeing you covetously and waiting for an opportunity to strike. It’s hard to say whether the Chu royal residence will be able to recover.”

” What are you trying to say?” Chu Zhongyuan’s eyes turned sharp.

He did not say anything stupid like the Chu royal residence and the Qin royal residence were allies. At their level, they knew very well that the essence of all alliances was a combination of interests.

As long as the benefits brought by betraying the alliance were greater than the price they had to pay, their loyal allies would pounce on them the next second.

This was the truest human nature.

“Don’t be so nervous. After all, our two families are allies. I still agree to continue working together.”

Bai Shizu changed the topic.” However, we should not let the fertile water flow into the fields of outsiders. Instead of letting outsiders benefit from your rules design institute, why don’t you hand it over to us for temporary safekeeping? When the time is right, you can take it back.”

“You guys want to take advantage of the situation?” Chu Zhongyuan immediately reacted.

The so-called temporary custody and such nonsense, who would believe it was stupid.

Bai Shizu said seriously,” Don’t make it sound so ugly. It’s just an alliance between allies. It’s not that dirty.”

“Don’t you think it’s too ironic that you deliberately made this scene and then said this to this old man?”

” Hmph!” Chu Zhongyuan snorted coldly and asked,” What price is your Prince Qin’s Residence prepared to offer?”

“We’re willing to exchange the rules of the sacrificial ceremony,” Bai Shizu said.
