Ch. 281Tang San's Scheme: Killing with a Borrowed Blade
Xue Qinghe’s forces sealed the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau, blocking Xue Beng and his allies from reaching the unfinished Godly Zhuge Crossbows. Tang San and Ning Fengzhi planned to appeal to Xue Ye for the bureau’s return, while Tang San also decided to draw Spirit Hall’s attention toward Feng Xiaotian.
- Xue Beng went to the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau with Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo, but Xue Qinghe’s guards barred entry and a Titled Douluo stood watch.
- Ning Fengzhi urged Xue Beng to return to the palace and tell Xue Ye the truth so the Empire could reclaim the unfinished Hidden Weapons.
- Tang San learned that the bureau had been sealed and discussed the crisis with Ning Fengzhi and Yu Xiaogang while Xue Ye slept.
- Ning Fengzhi proposed asking Xue Ye to order production of the Godly Zhuge Crossbows to continue.
- Tang San decided to expose Feng Xiaotian’s strength to Bibi Dong, hoping Spirit Hall would target him and be diverted from Xue Qinghe.
