Chapter 653: It
In Xie Ergai's residence, Yekaterina anxiously told Li Chen the news of Andrei's sudden return: "Master, what should we do? My husband has suddenly returned and even went to see Vasily in person! Our plan is probably difficult to achieve."
Unlike her panic, Li Chen was still calm, and even a trace of a smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "No problem. Plans can never keep up with changes. Since this is the case, let's adapt to circumstances and change the way of playing."
A sharp light flashed in his eyes. Andrei, you delivered yourself to the door, so don't blame me for being ruthless.
The next day, a shocking news spread through Winterhold like a plague. After Andrei Dagong Andrei personally visited the cursed Vasily, he was also infected with that weird curse and fell into a coma!
According to the wizard who witnessed it, the Andrei Dagong was infected by the terrible curse power on Vasily!
This time, Winterhold and even the entire fief fell into huge panic and a power vacuum.
As Andrei Dagong Andrei's legitimate eldest son, Xie Ergai didn't even need to launch any coup, and stood out logically, announcing that he would temporarily act on behalf of his father in all duties and began to handle the affairs of the territory.
With the name and righteousness in hand, this was the biggest advantage.
Although Andrei secretly cultivated the second son, he had never publicly abolished Xie Ergai's eldest son succession right.
Many clan elders and officials in the fief also tended to support Xie Ergai to take charge temporarily for the sake of stability.
Of course, there were also a few forces loyal to Andrei or who favored the second son who jumped out to oppose, questioning the authenticity of the curse, and even hinting that Xie Ergai was playing tricks.
Regarding this, Xie Ergai showed unprecedented iron-blooded means this time.
He remembered Li Chen's teaching: "Clear all opposing voices, then the rest will be supporting voices."
He did not hesitate to send the old soldiers who had just been redeemed and were only loyal to him, and used thunderous means to clean up all the thorns who took the lead in opposing, and bloodily suppressed all dissent.
The news reached the front line, and Xie Ergai's younger brother Alex was shocked and angry, and immediately wanted to gather troops to kill back to Winterhold to seize power.
However, just at this time, the Tian Ce army seemed to have calculated the timing and suddenly launched a large-scale counterattack, and the offensive was extremely fierce!
The commander-in-chief Tuoba Zhen strictly ordered all departments to hold their positions and absolutely did not allow anyone to escape from the battle! Alex had no time to separate himself, let alone bring troops back.
Tuoba Zhen even personally comforted the restless Alex: "As long as you help me win this battle, I will personally preside over justice for you and help you take back everything that belongs to you!"
Alex was helpless and could only press his anger for the time being to deal with the war before him.
Just like this, Xie Ergai successfully acted on behalf of all his father's power with almost no pressure and began to fully control the territory.
The so-called control was large-scale cleaning and blood replacement, replacing all key positions with his confidants and those grateful redeemed old soldiers.
By the time Andrei woke up, the wood was already a boat, and the situation was gone.
Li Chen originally thought about designing to deal with Andrei, and needed to do it flawlessly. Now that Andrei delivered himself to the door, it saved him a lot of trouble.
During this period, Xie Ergai, under Li Chen's behind-the-scenes guidance, was rectifying the territory with amazing efficiency.
And Li Chen also began to fulfill his promise to Yekaterina to vent her anger.
Xie Ergai used the excuse of "centralized treatment and convenient care" to place the unconscious Andrei Dagong Andrei and Vasily in the heavily guarded backyard of the Andrei Dagong's mansion.
Vasily's dozen or so beautiful wives and concubines were naturally "invited" over as "family members" and placed in the adjacent courtyard.
Among them, three were particularly outstanding, which made Li Chen's eyes light up as soon as they arrived.
