Chapter 79: What Does Nanjiang Intend to Do

Ji Youzhi, unaware of the inner thoughts of the National Master and the Emperor, immediately moved to kneel and pay his respects.

The young Emperor hastily waved him off. "No need, no need. We're brothers, after all. There's no need for such formality. Tell me, how's the case coming along?"

Ji Youzhi blinked, then asked the question that had been nagging at him.

"Your Majesty, my eight-hundred-li express dispatch only departed yesterday. How did you arrive today?"

The young Emperor was momentarily speechless.

Damn it! They truly were brothers, asking the exact same question!

"If I told you that I left the Palace to travel south on a secret tour the moment you departed, and just happened to end up here, would you believe me?"

Ji Youzhi was silent. He didn't believe a word of it!

There wasn't a single emperor in the world who wasn't cunning.
