After leaving the room, Zhao Yu's entire demeanor brightened; he had obtained what he wanted. The chess piece he had dropped unintentionally in the past had played its biggest role at the most critical moment.
Years ago, when Nangong Hong was still a young man traveling to study, Crown Prince Zhao Yu, who was not even ten years old, saw Nangong Hong on the street looking like a beggar.
At that time, Nangong Hong was quite destitute, and Crown Prince Zhao Yu, who belonged to royalty, felt sorry for him, so he gave Nangong Hong some money to sustain him and let him stay in the prince's residence for over ten days.
It was with Crown Prince Zhao Yu's assistance that Nangong Hong managed to make a name for himself in the Imperial Capital of Dahua. Only a few years later, Nangong Hong left the Dahua Empire, traveled through Qi Country, Chu Country, Zheng Country, then lived back home for over a decade before moving on to Brunas.
