“Kill Yun Lu?”
Jiang Yi raised his straight brows while his expression turned grave. Back at the Glory Palace Hall, he did mention that he was going to kill Yun Lu. However, he was just saying it and didn’t truly mean to kill Yun Lu.
The war had just ceased, and the Great Xia Kingdom suffered a blood cleanse. The kingdom only had slightly more than 100,000 soldiers, and more than half of their experts were dead. The people of the kingdom still had anxiety, there were plenty of places that had yet to settle down, and the bandits were running amok in some places. If there was another war, the Great Xia Kingdom would collapse without before the enemy attacked.
Yun Lu was Yun He’s younger brother. It was rumored that Yun He was most likely to ascend the throne, but he died in Jiang Yi’s hand. Since that happened in the Kingdom War, it was normal for anyone to be killed.
Yun Lu was sent over as the Heaven Mystics Kingdom’s envoy and here to congratulate Su Ruoxue for ascending the throne only in name. If Jiang Yi was to kill Yun Lu, the King of Heaven Mystics Kingdom would definitely be infuriated. If he was to use the kingdom strength to attack, Shui Youlan, Zhuge Qingyun, and the others wouldn’t interfere again, right? The Demon Empress wouldn’t possibly be involved in another internal war between the humans.
Jiang Yi had to prudently consider matter. He mumbled for a moment before he asked, “Is Yun Fei in a danger over there? If Yun Lu didn’t die, would Yun Fei’s life be in danger?”
“Yes…”
The veins on Zhan Wushuang’s face protruded as he spoke in a deep voice, “Yun He is dead, and it should have reduced the influence of their bloodlines. When Yun Fei returned, she obtained the support of the Ming Clan, Huo Clan, and the other clans which increased her prestige all of the sudden. The King of Heaven Mystics Kingdom was originally going to set Yun Fei’s young brother as the crown prince, but Yun Lu suddenly obtained the support of the strongest clan in Heaven Mystics Kingdom. The Witch God Clan’s support! The situation immediately reversed, and Yun Fei is under house arrest now. If Yun Lu is set as the crown prince, and with his nature, Yun Fei and her brother are definitely dead.”
“This…”
Jiang Yi frowned and asked with doubt, “Is the King of the Heaven Mystics Clan not going to bother? Why is he looking on as the siblings kill one another? As a king, it is highly improbable to set a crown prince this early. Could the King of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom have a weaker personality than Su Diwang?”
“It isn’t like this!”
Qian Wanguan interrupted and explained: “The situation at the Heaven Mystics Kingdom has always been complicated. They have the top ten clans to set the matter of the crown prince, and it isn’t decided by the king. They always determine it by seeing which prince could obtain the most support from all the clans! Boss should have already seen the Clan Head of the Witch God Clan.”
“That Vajra Realm martial expert from the Heaven Mystics Kingdom?”
A silver-haired old woman’s image floated in Jiang Yi’s mind. Right at this moment, he suddenly realized why the Witch God Clan suddenly supported Yun Lu and opposed Yun Fei’s brother from ascending. It was probably related to him.
Yun Fei and Zhan Wushuang were lovers while Zhan Wushuang was his brother. The Heaven Mystics Kingdom probably wanted to kill him right now. They assumed that Jiang Yi was certainly going to die in three years, and because of him, that Vajra Realm martial expert naturally didn’t want to support Yun Fei’s brother to be the crown prince.
He turned silent again and only spoke after a long time. “After killing Yun Lu, how sure are you that Yun Fei’s brother is going to ascend the crown prince position?”
“60%!”
Zhan Wushuang spoke with certainty while Qian Wanguan nodded and said, “Yun He’s lineage can only bring out Yun He and Yun Lu as candidates. Yun Fei has the Astral Body of Wood, while her younger brother has exceptional talents, character, and tactics which completely outclassed Yun Lu.”
“Alright!”
Jiang Yi slammed on the table and yelled out, “Then kill Yun Lu, but in order to do it, we need a flawless plan that must not leave behind any evidence! Furthermore, none of his men can run. How many men did he bring this time?”
Zhan Wushuang’s eyes lit up as he grinned and said, “He brought around 1000 men, 30 Soul Travel Realm experts! Wanguan and I brought along 3000 men, 100 Soul Travel Realm experts!”
“What?”
Jiang Yi was bewildered as he asked with confusion, “How did the two of you bring so many men out? Did your clan support you? What’s more… since you have so many men, why do you need my help? You can kill Yun Lu effortlessly even without my involvement.”
“En!”
Zhan Wushuang nodded and said, “This time, my father and Uncle Qian gave the nod of approval. These 3000 men are the hidden forces from both our clans. Even if they are exposed, our clans can just deny any involvement with them! We are looking for your help… not asking for your involvement. You are now the Regent of the Great Xia Kingdom and can easily obtain the whereabouts of Yun Lu’s location. All the cities in the Great Xia Kingdom have fallen, and our clan’s scouts are all gone. Without you, how are we going to plot a scheme to kill Yun Lu?”
“So that’s how it is!”
Jiang Yi felt his body relaxed. He was originally prepared to risk his life and kill all of Yun Lu’s men on behalf of Zhan Wushuang. Now, he understood that the two of them came with a proper plan and just required his assistance to provide information.
He looked at the two of them with bewildered expressions and asked, “Why did Uncle Zhan and Uncle Qian support the two of you on this risk? If this incident failed, and you were exposed, they will not be able to protect you.”
“Sigh…”
Qian Wanguan and Zhan Wushuang looked at each other and let out a light sigh. Zhan Wushuang took a glance outside before he lowered his voice and talk, “Jiang Yi, I assume that you already guessed who the mastermind that kidnapped the little fox is! The King has great skill and is ambitious while Western Garrison Liege Lord vowed to be the no.1 official since the ancient times. The two of them have thriving ambitions to govern the entire continent!
“Our clans are opposing against it! We do not think that this is the best timing, but the King and Western Garrison Liege Lord are determined. Thus, our clans had been arranging a route for retreat, and Yun Fei is one of the routes!”
“I see!”
Jiang Yi suddenly realized it. Xia Tingwei and Jiang Bieli wanted to conquer the whole continent, but the Zhan and Qian Clans didn’t have high expectations. They were afraid the Divine Martial Kingdom would be extinguished instead, and so they started to arrange for routes of retreat.
Special clans like the Zhan Clan and incredible clans with wealth that rivaled a kingdom like the Qian Clan would be able to do well in any of the vassal kingdoms. If Yun Fei’s younger brother became the crown prince, and if their clans had nowhere else to go, they could go to Heaven Mystics Kingdom where they would be able to quickly settle in.
“Alright!”
Jiang Yi had made his decision as he asked, “When are you preparing to make the move? Where?”
Zhan Wushuang spoke with brimming killing aura, “The time doesn’t matter; the location naturally will not be in the Great Xia Kingdom. We need to know Yun Lu’s whereabouts, and once he exits the Great Xia Kingdom and is at the borders of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom, we will kill him immediately! Then we will slaughter all the men that he brought along!”
“En.”
Jiang Yi suddenly stood up and walked outside. He grinned at the entrance and said, “The two of you rest here first. Wait for my news!”
Jiang Yi walked out of Drifting Snow Palace and immediately went to Glory Palace Hall.
The ceremony had ended while Su Ruoxue had gone to the city plaza to accept the pledge of fealty from the citizens. Jiang Yi called over General Lu who was the general with the most authority in the military. This old general was also the general that Jiang Yi trusted the most.
After Old General Lu came back, Jiang Yi found an excuse for him to investigate Yun Lu’s whereabouts. General Lu wasn’t suspicious and thought that Jiang Yi was afraid Yun Lu might create more troubles, and so he quickly went to arrange it.
The news was reported back quickly. Yun Lu had actually exited the city and was camping outside of the city. Right now, he was leading his army and setting out back to the Heaven Mystics Kingdom.
“Send someone to track them secretly, and they mustn’t find out. Report back every two hours. You don’t need to bother about Yun Lu once he is out of the Great Xia Kingdom. Apart from the Queen, let no one else know about this.”
When Jiang Yi received the information, he quickly gave General Lu another order. The latter quickly arranged it. This was the first order Jiang Yi gave after he became the Regent; General Lu didn’t want to screw it up.
After the old general left, Jiang Yi quickly entered the Drifting Snow Palace and smiled as he informed. “Yun Lu is on the way back to Heaven Mystics Kingdom, and he has just set off. You men can move out now. That’s right… are you going, too? If you are, then I shall go along. With me around, the plan will not fail!
“Kill Yun Lu?”
Jiang Yi raised his straight brows while his expression turned grave. Back at the Glory Palace Hall, he did mention that he was going to kill Yun Lu. However, he was just saying it and didn’t truly mean to kill Yun Lu.
