(Requesting monthly tickets)_5 “Previously, I had no objections to the terms. If Emperor Longchang were to participate in the signing ceremony in person, the ritual would be more formal,” the Saintess said.

“All right, since our Da Qian has shown sincerity and taken good care of the Sacred Gu Clan,” Wang Shouzhe said calmly, “for the sake of long-term peace and stability, Shouzhe has a small suggestion.”

The Saintess, who had experienced Wang Shouzhe’s fearsome capabilities, humbly responded, “I am all ears.”

Wang Shouzhe glanced at the surrounding Personal Guard Brigade, then looked at the deathly pale Prince De Xin, and said, “I heard that when Prince De Xin was young, he met a foreign youth on the battlefield beyond the borders. They shared mutual aspirations and regarded each other as confidants.”

Prince De Xin startled, looking at Wang Shouzhe incredulously, “You… you… how do you know about this?”

As soon as the words left his lips, he realized he had spoken foolishly. Luo Yuqing, the spy expert, had been lurking by his side for decades, secretly prying. With such targeted efforts, what secrets could he have kept?

If Wang Shouzhe wished, he could even know the color of his concubine’s underwear clearly.

“That foreign youth, it turns out, was a noble of South Qin,” Wang Shouzhe continued. “In the case of Kang Commandery Prince smuggling from South Qin, it actually had already indirectly exposed that person’s identity. Smuggling always requires cooperation from both sides. How could there be unilateral smuggling? Therefore, how could I overlook this lead?”

“You mean to say that Wu Chengsi’s smuggling case still involves this scoundrel, De Xin?” Emperor Longchang couldn’t help but feel a tightness in his chest.

“Not only that, I suspect… just randomly suspecting,” Wang Shouzhe said, “that if Prince De Xin truly had succeeded in killing me and Emperor Zi’an this time, he would certainly have framed me afterward. And where would that blame come from? The best kind of frame would involve traces of the Demonic Dynasty’s Cultivation Techniques and Mysterious Techniques, or some special items, and so on.”

“Moreover, Yinsha Sect is a common den for South Qin and West Jin. With the help of South Qin, obtaining these items would be easy.”

“Furthermore, if De Xin really had killed Emperor Zi’an and me, no matter how cleverly the lies were fabricated, they would inevitably lead to His Majesty’s suspicion and investigation. If I were in charge of handling the issue, perhaps the best way would be— to create a war, and invite South Qin and West Jin to attack Da Qian by way of introducing wolves into the house.”

“By then, with Da Qian in a difficult situation, His Majesty naturally wouldn’t have the leisure to suspect and investigate. At that time, all De Xin needs to do is to find a way to bring Wu Chengsi back, and then send him into battle to repel the armies of South Qin and West Jin. After establishing his great achievements, he could cleanse the stigma of treason from Wu Chengsi.”

“In the situation that His Majesty has no other suitable heirs, with a bit of manipulation, Wu Chengsi would still have a good chance of ascending to the top.”

“Of course, if during this process, something ‘accidentally’ happened to the Great Emperor… the likelihood of the plan succeeding would be even higher.”

“Slander!” Prince De Xin trembled all over, his face already ashen, “This is blatant slander!”

“I’ve said, it’s just a guess. I’m merely standing from your point of view, offering some advice on your behalf,” Wang Shouzhe said, not waiting for the Emperor to rage, and glanced towards the Personal Guard Brigade, “Earlier, as reported by Yuqing, De Xin suspectedly placed several spies in the Personal Guard Brigade. Acting as an extra contingency to prevent any unforeseen events.”

Xiao Limo, too, was shocked, “De Xin did indeed place a few heads of household in the Personal Guard Brigade, I thought they were all his subordinates!”

Saying this, he looked incredulously at Prince De Xin, “De Xin, did you actually collude with the South Qin Imperial Household?”

De Xin collapsed to the ground all at once.

Originally, he had hoped to escape in transit through collaboration with those people. With his Divine Power Territory cultivation base, as long as he could escape, even if he went to South Qin, he would have a foothold.

Who would have thought that his last card would also be uncovered by Wang Shouzhe!

Now, it was all over!

At this moment, the Personal Guard Brigade also reacted, immediately taking action to form a circle of containment around the three individuals. Because those three, just like Luo Yuqing and De Xin, were all infiltrators in the Personal Guard Brigade.

Earlier, the situation had been too chaotic, and they had momentarily overlooked this issue.

“Saintess Dai,” Wang Shouzhe glanced at the three of them and then seriously said to Saintess Dai, “For better cooperation and coexistence between Southern Frontier and our Da Qian, and for better execution of the subjugation plan, it’s naturally necessary to set boundaries with another neighboring country—South Qin. You are a wise person…” The gaze of Saintess Dai sharpened.

Wang Shouzhe was asking her Sacred Gu Clan to demonstrate their loyalty.

However, with a hundred thousand troops at the doorstep, she naturally had no room to argue and promptly showed understanding, “Since our Sacred Gu Clan has decided to follow Da Qian for better days and develop mutual prosperity, we will stick to one path without wavering. Rest assured, Master Shouzhe, whether it’s South Qin nobility or Emperor, today they are destined to perish.”

With that, she beckoned with her hand.

In an instant, the Sacred Gu Silkworm, which had transformed into a light cocoon, burst forth again, emitting sharp chirps.

The overwhelming might of the Level Nine Sacred Gu rolled towards the three individuals.

“?” Emperor Longchang looked sideways, perplexed, “Didn’t Saintess Dai just release the vital contract of the Heavenly Silkworm?”

“Hmm… Your Majesty, she was just acting earlier…” Wang Shouzhe honestly explained, “Even Prince De Xin knows to prepare an extra card; Shouzhe naturally has to guard against it as well.”

Emperor Longchang felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

You call this ‘guarding’? How many cards have you kept up your sleeve!

At this moment, Emperor Longchang even started to feel some sympathy for De Xin.

Facing an opponent like Wang Shouzhe was truly unlucky. No wonder Wang Shouzhe was quite annoyed by his presence; wasn’t he just worried about being upstaged? Emperor Longchang fiercely muttered to himself, projecting his own thoughts onto others.
