Qin Tian opened the letter. It was short, but after reading it, Qin Tian was exceptionally shocked.

Zuo Yuanhao’s letter to Qin Tian was unrestrained: the Wu King was planning a rebellion!

The Wu King was planning a rebellion, and even while in the Imperial City, Qin Tian became aware of this only now. Yet Zuo Yuanhao, far away in the East Capital, could see it so clearly?

”The Wu King will surely rebel, Governor, you must make plans early, relocate the Imperial City confidants to prevent collateral damage. As for that Xiao Yunhu, in my opinion, he is undoubtedly a person of the Wu King. If he is stationed near the Imperial City and doesn’t leave, he may return to attack the Imperial City during the Wu King’s rebellion. The Governor should prepare early.”

”This is a golden opportunity granted to the Governor by heaven. Now you can wait for the highest offer, whether to inform the Ninth Prince, the Crown Prince, or the Ice Emperor of the Wu King’s plot in advance, it will all be a great meritorious service, surely helping the Governor advance to a higher level and establish eternal achievements.”

Zuo Yuanhao’s last two paragraphs can be said to be insightful. Not only did he analyze the situation for Qin Tian, but also devised a strategy for him, instructing Qin Tian to inform the person he plans to side with in advance to gain the maximum benefits.

This is absolutely a brilliant plan.

But now, Qin Tian is being watched too closely by the Xiao family brothers. If he returns to the Imperial City personally to report this, he will surely be discovered before getting far, which would startle the snake in the grass.

However, if he does not go personally, after Du Qiuniang leaves, he would have no trusted people around him, and there’s no one else he trusts.

Thus, Qin Tian is very troubled at this moment.

”It seems that this calamity will have to be borne by the Ice Emperor himself. I don’t believe that this old fox is unprepared.”

Qin Tian murmured.

This time, he intended to inform the Ice Emperor of the news, but could not find anyone to deliver the message.

In fact, Qin Tian has been summoned by the Ice Emperor multiple times, and the Emperor has both shown kindness and intimidation, making Qin Tian a pawn placed in the Ministry of War.

Qin Tian killed Yang Jin, which the Ice Emperor did not pursue.

The Ice Emperor, seeing the Wu King completely control the Ministry of War, was already secretly making arrangements.

Qin Tian believed that besides himself, the Ice Emperor must have clandestinely attracted many others.

Additionally, combined with the Tianyuan Guard and the Imperial City’s Soul Suppressing Hall, the Ice Emperor’s power is by no means weak.

But why did the Ice Emperor allow the Wu King to control the Ministry of War, letting the Wu King transfer Qin Tian out of the Imperial City and then successively removing the Imperial City garrison?

”He is so smart; a person capable of killing my father, Long Jun, cannot be both foolish and incompetent… But… Could it be… to catch by releasing?”

Qin Tian suddenly took a sharp breath!

To catch, by releasing!

Could the Wu King’s rebellion actually be orchestrated by the Ice Emperor!?

Qin Tian was bewildered, but upon careful consideration, it seemed quite plausible.

The Ice Emperor originally controlled an army of one million in the Imperial City, sending them all away intentionally to give the Wu King a chance to rebel? Otherwise, the Jade Seal the Wu King could not obtain, even if he got it, the Ice Emperor would surely know.

Moreover, with the power of the Ice Emperor’s Soul Suppressing Hall, it’s impossible not to detect it a little in advance.

To detect the Wu King’s plot without any action is absolutely unusual.

”The Ice Emperor deliberately allowed the Wu King to be arrogant and rebellious, and then… killed the Wu King?”

Qin Tian muttered lowly, then sneered disdainfully, ”This Ice Emperor is truly ruthless. To kill the first meritorious person who helped him seize the kingdom from Long Jun, his own brother, as well?”

”Hehe, I understand now, the Ice Emperor must have wanted to kill the Wu King for a long time, right?”

”Maybe he hadn’t found the excuse yet. After all, he is a great meritorious man and a brother. A common excuse is certainly not enough to kill him. Only rebellion, rebellion’s guilt, allows the Ice Emperor to eliminate the Wu King!”

”So ruthless... so ruthless... the Ice Emperor, first killing his brother, then his brother, ha-ha, utterly inhumane!”

Qin Tian gritted his teeth, but unfortunately, he currently lacks both the personal strength and power to shake the Ice Emperor even a bit. Hence, the desire to kill the Ice Emperor to avenge his father can only be covertly concealed, and not spoken to anyone.

Even to advance further, Qin Tian had to become a pawn, a subordinate of the Ice Emperor.

”Mantises stalking cicadas, unaware of the oriole behind.”

”The Wu King rebels, the Ice Emperor kills.”

”In this game of chess, haha, the Wu King thinks he’s playing the game, but doesn’t know he is just a piece. I and he are both pawns of the Ice Emperor; he has walked into a dead end, a dead chess piece!”

Qin Tian quickly replied to Zuo Yuanhao, instructing Zuo Yuanhao and Ye Kun to pay attention to the Dragon Clan’s movements.

Of course, in the letter, Qin Tian also informed them of his choice, to ”stand” with the Ice Emperor.

Subsequently, Qin Tian paced back and forth in his room.

”What to do, what to do, even though the Ice Emperor seems well-prepared and confident of victory, such a significant matter, and such a chance to gain credit by executing the Wu King, how can I miss it?”

Qin Tian muttered to himself.

But returning to the Imperial City now is unrealistic, as he is locked down by the Xiao family brothers.

Then, what can be done?

”Succeed, or die trying!”

Half an hour later, Qin Tian decided on a path.

A ruthless path.

Since the Xiao family brothers plan to move against him, and they are the Wu King’s reinforcements outside the Imperial City, why shouldn’t Qin Tian preemptively deal with the Xiao brothers outside the Imperial City?

”Assassination?”

Qin Tian thought of a method to kill Xiao Yunhu and Xiao Yunkui, but the two old foxes are heavily guarded and keep Qin Tian at bay, thwarting any assassination plans.

”Other than assassination, then rebellion, but I only have twenty thousand, and they have eighty thousand…”

After much deliberation, Qin Tian still planned a bold move, to snatch chestnuts from the fire.

No time to delay, that night, Qin Tian disguised himself and quietly approached the Xiao brothers’ residence.

After being stationed in Lin City, the Xiao brothers had chosen a large mansion as their residence, heavily guarded, with many people coming and going every day, seemingly in secret contact with the Imperial City.

Qin Tian waited outside until around two or three in the morning before he began to act.

This time, assassination, only allowed to succeed, not to fail.

With the Red Sword in hand, the disguised Qin Tian charged like lightning directly into the mansion!

Whiz, whiz, whiz!

As Qin Tian’s Red Sword drew three streaks of red light, assassinating three guards, the vibration of True Qi at last alerted the hundreds of guards inside the mansion.

”There’s an assassin!”

”There’s an assassin!”

The guards shouted.

”Divine Vein Technique, Three Dragon Power!”

Facing hundreds of guards and thousands of soldiers surrounding the mansion, Qin Tian held nothing back and unleashed the Three Dragon Power!

Three True Qi Dragons instantly formed, descending from the sky, charging forward, clearing a path for Qin Tian!

”Who dares attempt to assassinate me, are you tired of living! Kill them for me!”

Just as Qin Tian was thinking about how to find Xiao Yunhu and the others, Xiao Yunhu boldly stepped out of the house.
