puff!
Upon hearing this, Ashina Tiandu couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of beef, stunned by his third brother's words, though he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, the old man has indeed grown old, and even more foolish!"
"Does he even have the power to kill me and Abaddon? He's already daydreaming."
He wasn't too surprised that the plan had been exposed; after all, secrets can't be kept forever. It would be strange if the old man hadn't discovered it after he'd replaced so many guards.
After all, he still has a trusted group of bodyguards who work specifically for him, and they will definitely be the first to notice the problem.
The reason he laughed so outrageously was simply because he found his father, the emperor, laughable.
Now, nearly 60% of the officials in the court support him, and of the remaining 40%, 20% have chosen to remain neutral. Only 20% stand on the side of his father, the emperor.
With such limited strength, he could barely protect himself, yet he still wanted to kill him, and even the Emperor Abaddon of the Great West Empire. This old man is truly insane.
Doesn't he have any idea what his own situation is like right now?
Seeing his arrogance, a hint of displeasure flashed in Xiuli's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "I am a member of the Palace Guard Corps. Are you so sure I will help you?"
This guy is too arrogant, it makes him feel very uncomfortable.
It felt as if his 20,000- Palace Guard Corps was merely a decoration; if he didn't make way for him, his attempt to assassinate him would be a joke.
"Haha, third brother, don't misunderstand. I'm not looking down on you. It's just that we're such good brothers, so I spoke a little more casually."
Ashina Tiandu saw through his younger brother's thoughts and explained with a smile.
Although he had a way to deal with Xiuli's 20,000 men, he didn't want to make a big fuss now so that he could save himself some trouble in the future.
Losing too many people would be very detrimental to oneself.
Seeing that Xiuli's expression had improved considerably, he quickly changed the subject, asking curiously, "I've blocked all information about the old man, how did he know Abaddon wanted to kill him?"
His words were filled with murderous intent!
He was genuinely curious about who had told his father, who was undoubtedly his enemy.
If this matter were to get out, wouldn't I be infamous for eternity, forever branded as a patricide?
Xiuli glanced at him and said in a deep voice, " Princess Anne!"
Bang!
Upon hearing this name, Ashina Tiandu immediately changed color, and his anger flared up instantly.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! Princess Anne, far away in Great Liang, is actually interfering in the affairs of the Empire! Does she really think that her man's Great Liang has my Frostwest Empire completely under her thumb?!"
That damned guy, it must be that bastard who sent the intelligence through the Net!
In that case, his assassination plan would probably not be so easy, as the Net would definitely interfere.
At this thought, a murderous glint appeared in his eyes!
Now that the information has been exposed, the assassination must be carried out in advance; there is no turning back.
Thinking of this, he disregarded Xiuli and directly ordered his guards, "Take my calling card and invite Aksu and A Long of the Great West Empire. We need to move out ahead of schedule!"
He's a man of action; rather than waiting for his father to turn the tables and then settle scores with him, he'd rather eliminate the crisis beforehand.
Aksu and A Long arrived quickly.
"What? The news has been leaked?" Aksu frowned slightly.
Ashina Tiandu and said in a deep voice, "That's right, it was a message from the Great Liang Net. They really are eyeing our Frostwest Empire!"
He knew Aksu well; he was a hardliner who started the war, and that was why he was able to win him over.
After all, his father was old and had lost all ambition, so Aksu had long been dissatisfied with him.
Now, whenever the Great Liang is mentioned, this powerful figure from the Frostwest Empire will naturally become restless and directly agree with his decision.
really!
Upon hearing the words "Great Liang Net," Aksu became serious and sneered, "As expected, it's him. After Lin Yi destroyed Zhennan, our next target will definitely be us!"
In other words, the emperor harbored wishful thinking, unaware that such thinking would only lead to a terrible death!
He had long been wary of Great Liang. This country claimed to be peaceful, but it had repeatedly launched wars against other countries, making it an extremely terrifying force.
Previously, under the pretext of guarding the Land of the Far West, he had deployed more than 500,000 troops to the border, which made him feel even more uneasy.
It seems they are indeed about to take action.
"In that case, Bill III must have people from the Net around him; perhaps he was planning to defect to Great Liang from the very beginning!"
Even A Long's expression was grim. This was not good news for the Great West Empire. If the Frostwest Empire were to submit to the Great Liang, the Great West Empire would be in serious trouble.
If the entire continent were to unite against me, it would be an absolute nightmare.
Absolutely not!
He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, let's plan ahead. We absolutely cannot let the Net infiltrate!"
"Good!"
Aksu nodded, exchanged a glance with Prince Tiandu, and finally made a decision to take action against Bill III ahead of schedule.
Xiuli, who was watching, frowned slightly but did not refute.
However, he didn't want to bear the blame for patricide. It was time to think of a way to escape the palace and then shift the blame.
Seemingly seeing through his thoughts, Tiandu's eyes flashed with disdain as he said in a low voice, "Third brother, don't leave. Let's act together. I've already won over most of the Council of Elders, and they've agreed!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Xiuli's pupils constricted, and his expression finally changed.
No wonder the boss isn't worried about him; this guy actually managed to get the Council of Elders on his side. That means his own army is going to be affected by him. This guy is really something.
He finally nodded. After all, he wasn't the one who killed his father, so he had a clear conscience.
You stabbed me that day, so I'll pretend I didn't see it today!
"Haha, the great mission is accomplished!"
Ashina Tiandu; everything was ready, and only the final step remained.
He said in a deep voice, "Have someone light the beacon fires in the palace. We'll use the pretext of rescuing the emperor to storm in!"
What do you mean by patricide or not? That's not our crime. We went to rescue the emperor.
That's why he's so confident; we're good people, we've always only done good deeds.
I'd brave any danger to save my father!
"Save the Emperor?"
Xiuli's lips twitched. With this title, he would have no trouble getting in; even his father's army probably wouldn't stop him.
The only thing to do is to have someone take the lead.
