Who Would Have The Last Laugh

Meanwhile at the Xiangyang Mansion. 

Long Xiao's advisors appeared before him after Long Chi left.

"What are your thoughts on this, Master Wu?" Long Xiao turned to one of his advisors.

"I think this is indeed a great opportunity. This may be a great stepping stone for you to take action, My Liege."

"However, it is quite obvious that the Prince of Xuyang is trying to use you. If you go through with his plan, you will just be handing everything to him on a plate." Some of the advisors were less agreeable to this.

"You can't tell who will be getting the spoils until it's over. You shouldn't pour cold water over this and belittle the power of the Prince of Xiangyang. This is undoubtedly a rare and advantageous opportunity. The Emperor's always had an iron hold on all the lands and districts. Even minor territories are almost inescapable from him."
