”What did you say? The Phoenix Clan assassins actually returned my reward! What do they want!?”

Upon receiving the news that the Phoenix Clan refused to assassinate Qin Tian, Zhao Tuo was stunned, and angrily exclaimed, ”What reason do they have to refuse me? Hmph, they dare offend me for Qin Tian?”

The strategist said helplessly, ”I don’t know the reason for the Phoenix Clan’s decision either, but they’ve replied saying that Qin Tian has done them a favor, and therefore they won’t kill him, so they’ve returned the reward. General, we might already be too late to find someone else, as Qin Tian’s army will likely return to East Capital City in two days.”

”Damn it! The Phoenix Clan dares to mess with me! I’ll remember this and settle accounts with them later!”

Zhao Tuo glared at the strategist, saying, ”You started this, now you’ve botched it, so tell me, what do you plan to do to remedy it?”

The strategist appeared confident and replied with a sly smile, ”Don’t worry, General. Aside from directly assassinating Qin Tian, we have another more direct and effective method now—one that will surely make Qin Tian suffer tremendously and obediently give up the City Guard Army Governor position.”

”Oh?”

Zhao Tuo’s eyes lit up, ”Such a good method? Tell me about it.”

”I found out that in East Capital City, Qin Tian has a woman he is fond of named Fan Bing, who is a businesswoman. In recent years, she’s been doing quite well in the elixir business here.”

The strategist spoke while unconsciously revealing a sinister expression, ”I’ve found out that Fan Bing currently has wealth estimated to be millions of high-grade spirit stones. Hehe, General, why don’t we kill two birds with one stone by both gaining a large fortune and striking at Qin Tian?”

”Hm, your plan is indeed good, a surefire profit. Why didn’t you say so earlier!”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tuo also revealed a sinister expression, suddenly thought of something, and asked the strategist, ”How does this Fan Bing look?”

Upon hearing this, the strategist instantly understood, quickly nodding his head, ”She’s a national beauty, and more importantly, she has an extraordinary temperament. General, if you see her, you’ll definitely like her!”

”Hahaha, then this time, we’re hitting three birds with one stone!” Zhao Tuo laughed.

The strategist nodded again, plotting and advising, ”General, we can first bind Fan Bing and bring her to the mansion, then force her to yield all her assets, and subsequently, hehe, General, you can enjoy Qin Tian’s woman.”

”At that time, when Qin Tian returns, we can ask him whether he wants the woman or the Governor position? He’ll have to choose one, hehe, I think Qin Tian will be enraged till madness.”

”At such time, if Qin Tian chooses the woman, since you’ve already enjoyed her, returning her to him wouldn’t matter. If he chooses the position, well, the situation between us will have become irreconcilable by then. In East Capital City, with the Ninth Prince backing us, and giving Nangong Minghua some benefits to ally against Qin Tian with us, it won’t be difficult.”

Clap, clap, clap!

Upon hearing the strategist’s analysis, Zhao Tuo immediately applauded, ”We should’ve thought of such a good plan sooner! If that’s the case, let’s send someone to grab Fan Bing right away!”

”General, this matter shouldn’t be taken lightly.”

The strategist stopped him, saying, ”Fan Bing has gotten wealthy, and she has hired several cultivation masters at the Nascent Soul stage as guards. Additionally, Qin Tian left his guard team of a hundred to protect Qin Mansion when he departed East Capital City.”

”You mean we can’t manage on a small scale anymore?” Zhao Tuo responded.

The strategist nodded, ”Exactly, we need to wait till nightfall, bring more people, move swiftly, and aim for quick success to take Fan Bing away. Otherwise, if the noise becomes too big, I fear Nangong Minghua might seize the chance to cause trouble, since after all, he’s not part of our faction.”

Zhao Tuo nodded, ”No worries, I can deal with someone in East Capital City - especially someone Nangong Minghua fears - and I doubt he’d dare act against me. Additionally, with the support of the Ninth Prince and my family’s backing from the Imperial City, who would dare act against me even if I razed Qin Mansion to the ground? Qin Tian is just a nobody without background, hmph! Quick, prepare a thousand troops, and at ten tonight, when the night is silent, you and I will personally go—I want to personally bring Qin Tian’s woman to my bed!”

”I obey.”

…

Night fell, and the lively East Capital City gradually quieted down.

Past ten at night, except for a few bustling streets, the rest of East Capital City was silent.

Qin Tian’s Qin Mansion was located in a secluded and serene area. Considering Fan Bing’s safety when he left, Qin Tian had her move to Qin Mansion and left a hundred guards to protect its safety.

At this moment, Qin Mansion’s guards were patrolling as usual. Fan Bing hadn’t yet gone to bed; she was in the study, pondering about matters concerning the new branches of the Elixir Medicine Workshop.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the surrounding ground began to shake!

In an instant, the Qin Mansion guards were all alerted!

Even Fan Bing, who was deep in thought calculating the costs, was startled.

”Yun Luo, what’s happening outside?”

When Qin Tian left, he instructed Yun Luo to take care of Fan Bing. By now, the two were quite familiar, and Yun Luo had become Fan Bing’s close maid.

”Madam, it seems there’s something happening outside, I’ll go check.”

Yun Luo responded from outside the study, and soon her hurried footsteps sounded. Without knocking, she directly burst into Fan Bing’s study!

Fan Bing was taken aback and didn’t have time to ask before Yun Luo said, ”Madam, a large group of people has arrived outside, and they’re surrounding our Qin Mansion and attacking!”

”What?!”

Fan Bing was so shocked she stood straight up from her seat, exclaiming, ”Yun Luo, what’s going on? Qin Tian is now the City Guard Army Governor, and there are people daring to attack his mansion? This is within East Capital City! Is there no law anymore?”

Yun Luo replied, ”Madam, now’s not the time for that. The people outside aren’t wearing armor, just plain clothes. I don’t know who they are, but I saw Old Zhao and the others fighting hard against them; however, there are at least a thousand people outside, and we only have over a hundred, so we might not be able to hold them off for long...”

Fan Bing was stunned: ”Who could possibly muster over a thousand people within the guarded East Capital City to attack Qin Mansion! Targeting Qin Tian!”

”Madam, are you alright? There are people about to break in outside!”

At this moment, four female Nascent Soul early-stage guards Fan Bing hired also entered, holding weapons with serious expressions, ”Madam, the situation is dire. We should try to leave here; the front can’t hold!”

Yun Luo said, ”The back door! Let’s retreat through the back door! Make sure to protect Madam, quickly follow me. Don’t go through the main door, use the side door at the back! There might be fewer people there!”
