Chapter 466 — Abduction
Purple Streets of Chang'an · Page 4 of 4
The Yingzhen Estate stood right beside the Forbidden Palace.
From the Drunken Immortal Tavern, in truth, nothing could be made out clearly.
But for some reason, Shi Chuan felt as though he could see Song Yan standing in the middle of the Yingzhen Estate's broad main courtyard, looking toward him.
His hand gripped the vermilion railing tightly.
Liu Yu's heart tightened along with his hand, and he could not help saying, "If Song Yantang finds out, what shall we do?"
"He won't find out," Shi Chuan said with absolute certainty. "The Prince of Liao, Song Yantang—don't be fooled by how amiable they are when they meet us. At bottom, they are the masters, and we are nothing but their servants. Please them, and of course they'll toss you a few sweet dates. But anger them, and they'll turn on you without a moment's mercy."
Liu Yu could not resist muttering inwardly: Since you know full well how merciless these people are, why did you have Jiang Yan seized the moment Geng Li had one foot out of the Yingguo Estate?
"You don't understand!" Shi Chuan, seeing what was in Liu Yu's mind, laughed. "In the Prince of Liao's eyes, only Song Yantang is worth speaking to. We, at best, are fit to carry his shoes. As long as Song Yantang is around, none of us will ever rise."
Liu Yu still did not understand.
To his mind, whether the Prince of Liao's business succeeded was still uncertain. Was it not a bit early to be stirring up trouble now?
But seeing that Shi Chuan had no intention of saying more, he wisely held his tongue.
