Looking at the prosperity of Hua City and the decay of Sha Po City, Lei Shi decided to teach Qin Tian a lesson.

”It’s time for me to show you what a senior is!”

Lei Shi was filled with bitterness; he had killed Xiao Zhan because Xiao Zhan trusted Qin Tian more and gave Qin Tian greater benefits.

So, Qin Tian was the source of his anger and bitterness.

”Qin Tian, I’ve ended up in this situation all because of you! And you still want to be safe? Think again!”

After spending five days reorganizing more than forty thousand men in Sha Po City, Lei Shi hastily convened a military meeting and directly proposed to launch a surprise attack on Hua City to teach Qin Tian, the ”City Guard Army traitor,” a lesson.

Except for a few confidants, the rest of his generals were stunned.

”General, our numbers are fewer than Qin Tian’s; attacking Qin Tian might not be feasible.”

”We are recently defeated, morale is low, it is unwise to initiate an attack on Hua City!”

”General, Qin Tian is part of our City Guard Army. Now with the Dragon Clan as our enemy, we should be united against them. Attacking our ally, if East Capital City and the Imperial City learn of it, might not be appropriate.”

”Hmph, what’s inappropriate?!”

With anger, Lei Shi spoke loudly, rendering the entire conference room as silent as a cicada in winter.

”I also want to be united against our enemy, but have you seen Qin Tian come to discuss cooperation with me? When we were besieged, did you see Qin Tian treating us as allies and coming to our aid?”

”No! This arrogant young man is naturally cold-blooded. In his heart, he probably wishes for our complete destruction!”

”I think he can’t be unrelated to Xiao Zhan Governor’s death, and that’s why he’s hiding far away, not daring to confront us!”

With eyes filled with murderous intent, Lei Shi scanned through everyone, clenched his fist, face showing immense sadness, and shouted, ”Qin Tian killed Xiao Zhan Governor to become the first deputy governor. Hmph, he just wants to seize power! Poor Xiao Zhan Governor, he trusted him so much, and this ungrateful white-eyed wolf could be so ruthless!”

”I want to avenge Xiao Zhan Governor and kill Qin Tian!”

Lei Shi suddenly raised his voice and shouted, ”My decision is made, unless Qin Tian is dead, I won’t rest! Does anyone have any objections?!

The murderous intent was overwhelming, who could have objections?

”We follow orders!”

Everyone could only shout in unison.

Lei Shi immediately organized the soldiers and horses, quietly made arrangements, and decided on a forced march the next afternoon to directly launch a surprise attack on Sea City by night.

However, coincidentally, at this moment, Qin Tian and others in Sea City were also planning how to leave Lei Shi with no way out.

Lei Shi had murdered Xiao Zhan, and Qin Tian had vowed to certainly avenge Xiao Zhan.

However, if they openly attacked Sha Po City, even if they won, returning to East Capital City would likely have Nangong Minghua or Zhao Tuo seize the opportunity to settle the score.

Therefore, Qin Tian gathered everyone to think of a more appropriate decision.

”Boss, why is directly attacking not an option? As long as we capture Lei Shi, and Lei Shi admits to causing Governor’s death, we have a legitimate reason and won’t fear East Capital City’s interference!” Lin Yu suggested direct attack.

However, his suggestion was met with shaking heads from Zhou Yang and Zuo Yuanhao.

Zhou Yang said, ”Second brother, the reason not to attack Lei Shi directly is partly because of concern about East Capital City seizing the opportunity, and on the other hand, proactively attacking Sha Po City, sixty thousand against over forty thousand, it will surely be a big battle. Although we have a certainty of winning, the casualties might be significant. Moreover, the others are still our City Guard Army brothers, internal strife is truly hard to bear.”

”Military Advisor Zhou is right.”

Zuo Yuanhao stood up in agreement, ”We need to look at things from a broader perspective, especially since the Dragon Clan has already sent fifty thousand to attack us and didn’t expect to encounter Zhao Tuo and Lei Shi. That’s how we escaped a major battle for now.”

”I think, in half a month, after the Dragon Clan’s troops are resupplied and reorganized, they’ll definitely attack us again. Personally, I believe Lei Shi’s men are trivial; the fifty thousand Dragon Clan soldiers are our real concern at present!”

Qin Tian nodded, ”What you both said is exactly what I was thinking. Therefore, I am now considering using a method of capturing the king first to take down Lei Shi, avoiding the internal struggle of the City Guard Army, thus reserving our strength to deal with the Dragon Clan’s army.”

”Boss, it’s happening! It’s happening!”

As everyone was discussing, Xiao Zhuang suddenly received an urgent report from a scout, and his face was filled with joy as he said, ”Boss, we shouldn’t consider anything else now, just think about how to respond to Lei Shi’s attack.”

”Huh?”

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this.

Xiao Zhuang laughed, ”I just received the latest intel that Lei Shi’s army is on the move, and tonight they’ll be under the walls of Hua City!”

”Ah?”

”What?”

Upon hearing Xiao Zhuang’s words, everyone was in shock.

Qin Tian couldn’t believe it, ”Xiao Zhuang, are you sure about your information? Lei Shi is leading over forty thousand men to attack Hua City willingly? Ha… really?”

”Absolutely.”

Xiao Zhuang confidently replied, ”Boss, you can trust my reconnaissance ability. Now the intelligence network I’ve personally established has started to function. Lei Shi’s army includes several of my scouts, all have confirmed this information. My scouts received the intel and returned to Hua City an hour before their departure. Judging by their marching speed, they should arrive around eleven tonight.”

”Ha, this guy must be crazy!” Zhou Yang found it very hard to believe, ”Who gives him the confidence to dare to attack us, treating us like easy targets?”

”I also don’t understand, maybe he’s gone insane.” Xiao Zhuang said.

Instantly, everyone burst into laughter.

Qin Tian thought for a moment and said, ”Since that’s the case, does anyone have a good strategy to face the enemy?”

Everyone exchanged glances, all with knowing smiles.

”It seems everyone has an idea. How about writing it down on your palm and revealing it together? I guess there are at least two more strategies,”

Following Qin Tian’s suggestion, everyone immediately picked up a pen and wrote on their palms.

”Reveal them, together.”

A moment later, Qin Tian waited until everyone was finished writing and then asked everyone to show their palms.

Everyone present was a confidant of Qin Tian, including Qin Tian, Lin Yu, Xiao Zhuang, Zhou Yang, Zuo Yuanhao, Ye Kun, Zhao Lanjin.

All seven of them had written two words on their palms.

Lin Yu, Xiao Zhuang, Ye Kun, and Zhao Lanjin all had the same two words: ”Ambush.”

While Qin Tian, Zhou Yang, and Zuo Yuanhao had the same words: ”Assassination.”

The two words, same yet different.

Lin Yu looked at Qin Tian’s palm and said, ”Boss, assassination? Do you mean to assassinate Lei Shi?”
