The Grand Prince's Residence.
Tang Long, the Grand Prince of the Ice and Snow Empire, was currently hosting Hou Zhen and Nie Rong.
Hou Zhen oversaw the Imperial City Guard Army and also held the position of Great General of the Southern Command, wielding substantial power and authority.
It was precisely due to Hou Zhen's support that Tang Long could stand on equal footing with the Third Prince in the contest.
In fact, he even faintly suppressed the Third Prince, Tang Hao, in the struggle for the position of Crown Prince.
Therefore—
He had always held Hou Zhen in high regard. Raising his cup in salute, he smiled and said, "General Hou, Master Nie, this prince is truly like a tiger with wings thanks to your assistance!"
Hou Zhen drank the fine wine silently, without speaking.
Not only did he hold high power and authority in his own right,
but he also bore the esteemed identity of someone associated with Baiyu.
