Xiang Shaolong wondered: “When did Fourth Brother come back? Have you seen Crown Prince?”
wang Jian uessed that I came back secretly Souys first before paying my respects to Crown Prince”
As everyone was stunned at his words, Ji Yanran probed: “Why would Fourth Brother in Law possess such a mindset?”
In a deep voice, wang Jian divulged: “To be honest, I had arrived three days ago but chose to endure the inconveniences and stayed in a secret place outside the city In the meantime, I sent my men into the city to seek out information as I am concerned that Lu Buwei and Lao Ai had su a fake decree Beyond ot wind of some alternative news It seeood terms”
Teng Yi questioned: “What updates did Fourth Brother receive?”
wang Jian revealed: “Firstly, Crown Prince appears to have given permission for Third Brother and your clan to leave for the borderlands and secondly, Crown Prince and Third Brother are not as close as before Unlike the past, Crown Prince no longer discuss his private affairs with Third Brother”
Jing Jun sighed: “Fourth Brother’s spies are really proficient”
Making up hisinvited: “Let’s enter the hall before we discuss any further!”
Sitting therunted: “This tiht thirty thousand crack troops back with le one of theainst these uarantee their absolute destruction”
He then sighed with a breath of air: “However, I a to hare, he has become more and more formidable”
Everyone can easily deduce that wang Jian e and is thereforeaard and also as a sign of trust in Xiang Shaolong, he did not directly confront him
The news of Yingzheng beheading Qian Zhi has taken the entire State by the stornorant about it
The ten eyes of Tao Fang, Ji Yanran, Jing Jun, Teng Yi and Wu Guo are all focused on Xiang Shaolong, letting hi Jian
Xiang Shaolong broke out into a wide smile: “Fourth Brother is truly worthy of the title: Qin’s Top General You had barely ca is so comprehensive”
He is indirectly affir Jian’s presumptions
His eyes shi+ Jian professed: “My enenu while Third Brother is contending against the allied forces of the five eastern States Since when did I, wang Jian, becoeneral?”
Pausing, wang Jian went straight to the point: “Whatever Third Brother wants me, Fourth Brother to do, I will do exactly as per your instructions You can speak without any reservations”
Xiang Shaolong burst out laughing Stretching his hands and grabbing wang Jian’s broad shoulders, he cheerfully exclai out all traces of Lu Buwei and Lao Ai And assist Yingzheng in uniting the lands and build the Great Empire of Qin In the process, Fourth Brother shall becoeneral in the records of history”
At this point in ti and wang Jian Frohest respect and accolades internally and externally Within theis even more prominent
If the two of theether, they will definitely pose a viable threat to Yingzheng
However, Xiang Shaolong chose to si a Qin’s internal strife
Of course the others do not know that Xiang Shaolong had already understood this fact fro As a result, he dared not even harbour any thoughts of staging his own rebellion
Unconsciously, he ang Jian’s praises of adme too much credit There are many areas that I would have to rely on you”
In a sole Jian described: “In the history of our Great Qin, Crown Prince can be considered our wisest andruler, while Li Si’s capabilities is not inferior to Shang Yang But if we are talking aboutJian, fear nobody except Third Brother and Li Mu In terainst underhand methods What are Third Brother’s plans?”
Xiang Shaolong enquired: “Is Fourth Brother aware of Crown Prince’s military deployment?”
wang Jian unabashedly shared: “The th of Crown Prince lies mainly in the Imperial Palace Guards and the Imperial Cavalry Lately, the Palace Guards have been actively recruiting personnel and their strength has been boosted to fifty thousand Regardless of training, equipment and remuneration, they are far better off compared to the other forces In addition, they are fiercely loyal towards Crown Prince They are the ones Third Brother have to guard against”
Xiang Shaolong recalled that day when Lord Changwen chased up to hiive up his plans to leave for the borderlands Unfortunately, he was rejected unreservedly by Xiang Shaolong
After all, Lord Changping and Lord Changwen are members of the royal family Blood is thicker than water In case of a dispute, they would definitely side with Xiao Pan
wang Jian added: “Against these rebels, Crown Prince should have logically summoned Huan Qi back Instead, he summoned An Guxi all the way back from the Qin-Chu Border Based on this point alone, I am certain that he has the intention to confront Third Brother”
Teng Yi was thunderstruck: “An Guxi is back? Why are we kept in the dark?”
In a deep voice, wang Jian established: “This is Crown Prince’s secret attack force However, I have yet to determine the size of his army I only know that he has left the border and is ca the royal decree, he can reach Xianyang or Yongdu within a day”
Like Lord Changping and Lord Changwen, An Guxi is a zheng in ti Jian could speculate that Yingzheng is having unfavourable thoughts about Xiang Shaolong
Xiang Shaolong soleive a hoot about his deploy Shaolong’s departure frodu, we have the ability to handle the rest”
Wu Guo smiled: “It is true that we have to depend on Master Jian to take good care of my measly little life”
As wang Jian stared at Wu Guo with a flabbergasted expression, Ji Yanran swiftly explained their ruse in her melodious voice
wang Jian bitterly laughed: “If your ruse is exposed, Third Brother would be found guilty of deceiving the King!”
Teng Yi grudgingly smiled: “This is a risk we have to undertake If Fourth Brother has seen Wu Guo in action, you too, would feel confident that we can pull this through”
Ji Yanran giggled: “Additionally, your Third Brother will be faking an illness,it easier to proceed with the impersonation”
wang Jian suggested: “If the switch can be h the journey, it would be perfect!”
Xiang Shaolong was elated: “With Fourth Brother supporting at the side, it has increased our conviction drastically Meanwhile, it is not convenient for Fourth Brother to stay for too long”
After finalizing their future secret co Jian furtively slipped away
Xiang Shaolong left in search for Xiao Yuetan and found hi hi Jian’s collaboration
Xiao Yuetan nodded: “Judging fro and appearance, it is unmistakably clear that this man places heavy emphasis on brotherhood and is not someone ill cower to the rich and powerful With hi assistance, the odds of our success have increased by several folds”
Turning puzzled, he quizzed: “Don’t you need to attendcourt?”
