Chapter 646: My master and that Emperor of Tian Ce actually have some

As soon as Xie Ergai saw his master, he immediately knelt and kowtowed excitedly, like a child who had been wronged seeing his parent.

Lady Yekaterina also hurriedly followed aristocratic etiquette and performed a standard salute to this mysterious great wizard.

Li Chen only nodded slightly and sat in the main seat unceremoniously, his aura powerful and natural.

Seeing that his master had important matters to discuss with his son, Lady Yekaterina took her leave sensibly.

In her view, it was a great blessing that a great wizard with a respected status was willing to take her son as a disciple, so naturally there would be no danger.

After his mother left, Li Chen opened his mouth in that hoarse voice: "Why did you call for me? Have you encountered difficulties?"

Xie Ergai found a vent, and immediately told everything about how his father reprimanded him, grounded him, and even possibly changed his younger brother as his heir, his tone filled with grievances, unwillingness, and resentment.

Li Chen listened quietly, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said indifferently: "This matter is simple. You just become the Andrei Dagong!"

This sentence was like a thunderclap on the ground, instantly exploding in Xie Ergai's mind! He raised his head abruptly, looking at his master in disbelief.

Did his master mean to help him usurp power?!

Seize his father's position as Andrei Dagong?!

This was his own biological father! Xie Ergai struggled violently in his heart, however, that struggle only lasted for a negligible 0.1 seconds before being completely drowned by the extreme desire for power and the resentment of his father's heartlessness!

A trace of ruthlessness and decisiveness flashed in his eyes, and he kowtowed heavily: "I beg Master to help me! Since my father is unrighteous, don't blame me for being unfilial! If he doesn't give me this position of Andrei Dagong, I will take it myself!"

A smile that was hard to detect curled up at the corner of Li Chen's mouth under the mask, and he said slowly: "Good. Now your father and younger brother's focus is on the Southern Expedition, and they have no time to care about other things. This is a heaven-sent opportunity."

"You can order your confidants to secretly spread rumors within your father's fief, talking about the cruelty of war, which will only cause the people of Great Luo to be displaced and their families broken. You must shape an image of being 'compassionate' and 'longing for peace,' so that you can get the support of the people in the fief."

"At the same time, you can try to contact Tian Ce in a private capacity, and find a way to redeem the previously captured soldiers. These people and their families will surely be grateful to you, and you can place them in key positions throughout the fief to cultivate forces loyal to you."

"Secretly win them over and wait for the opportunity. When your wings are full, and your father and brother are trapped in the quagmire of war, that will be the day you replace them."

Li Chen's plan was clear and cold, leading Xie Ergai step by step into the abyss of betrayal and seizing power.

As for why he did this, it was naturally because he felt Xie Ergai could be used.

Ever since he met Xie Ergai outside Cold Iron Pass last time and learned of this kid's identity, Li Chen began to lay out his plan.
