Giving Him A Taste Of His Own Medicine

Yuan Hongdao struggled into consciousness. He had an immense pain in the back of his head. He didn't know what environment he was in. Since he had a career that required him to spend many years hidden at the enemy's side, he had the habit of remaining silent at all times.

Like Wang Qinian, this official of the Overwatch Council had countless questions on his mind. Six months ago, the Emperor had moved against the Eldest Princess for the first time. Although Yuan Hongdao wasn't sure of the reason for that, the Overwatch Council was able to sweep away all of the Eldest Princess' apparent forces within half an hour because of this supposed top Xinyang strategist.

After that mission, he should have left behind such a life. Following the orders of the Council, he should have chosen a beautiful place and retired with honor. However, after escaping from the side courtyard, Yan Ruohai had told him to return to Xinyang.

Return to Xinyang!
