C1745 A battle between life and death! (1/2)

Xiao Letian stared at Itou Hirobumi who was kneeling on the ground, her killing intent continuously surging up, but her reason had defeated the fanaticism, and he knew that if she were to kill Ivy now, it would only bring about harm.

If Ivy was executed, the entire samurai would be in an uproar, especially those twenty thousand samurai who had expressed their loyalty to Tiger Lady and the Young Master, they would be in an uproar.

Not only that, Ito's death was also a bad political sign. This was when Xiao Letian proved to the entire world that he had taken away Fuyin's political rights, and no one would be willing to rely on her son in the future.

Only real people would take the initiative to avoid the crown prince's trap, afraid of getting a little involved.

The most frightening thing was, if he repressed Fuyin'er, would those powerful officials of his have any thoughts? Would any of the young second generation disciples try to think of a way to seize power?

Sooner or later, the Chinese would encounter a problem of succession, especially since Xiao Letian did not want to do that kind of thing.

With Xiao Letian's age, controlling the Chinese would already be his limit. At that time, his own second generation disciples would also be around fifty, at the peak of their political ambitions.

What a difficult problem, Xiao Letian! He hated schemes so much that the hardest thing to crack in the world was such schemes, to the point where there was no place to vent all the hatred in one's stomach.

The back of Itou Hirobumi's palm was covered in sweat. She had simulated today's scene countless of times and he knew that her chances of passing the trial were still high. However, there were also risks because Xiao Letian's power was simply too strong.

Especially when Xiao Letian was drinking earlier, Ivy was secretly counting the bottles of wine. Every time Xiao Letian drank a cup of wine, his heart would be broken.

Itou Hirobumi was afraid that Xiao Letian would be impulsive due to the alcohol, and only a few words would suffice if she wanted him to die. Prime Minister's Guard immediately stuffed his mouth behind his mountain cliff and threw it away, then the wild wolf would naturally eat his corpse.

Fortunately, Xiao Letian had only drank four pots of sake. As long as Xiao Letian was still rational, he would still have a chance of survival.

Time passed minute by minute, second by second, the sea breeze became colder, the surrounding Prime Minister's Guard soldiers felt the weird atmosphere, and they subconsciously started to move closer.

Life and death could only happen if Xiao Letian were to think about it. Itou Hirobumi felt as if time had stopped!

Just at this moment, a figure suddenly ran up the mountain path. It was a Ninja who was on guard outside, the Guard Captain stopped him, listened to his whisper, then quickly walked to Xiao Letian's side and whispered, ”Prime minister, Second Madam has arrived …”

Xiao Letian was startled: ”Why is she here so late?”

”Madam is here with the Young Lord!”

”Nonsense!” Xiao Letian frowned and berated.

Guard Captain lowered his head and looked at Itou Hirobumi, then used an inquiring gaze to look at Xiao Letian. His meaning was very clear: ”Should I kill this person? Should she make a move or not?

Xiao Letian waved his hand and let him off. Then, he grabbed onto Itou Hirobumi's collar as their gazes met, ”Itou Hirobumi! Should I not believe in your loyalty? ”

Itou Hirobumi's heart thumped like a drum, he knew that she had passed the test, and her eyes were firm as he said, ”To Young Master, I do not have any loyalty … I only have one life to offer! ”This is my oath!”
