But——
Putting down the teacup, Mu Xiong said, "Those people will only appear if the country falls or if soone turns against the Qin Family’s rule. They won’t co out for such a struggle for the throne. Just as Ge’er said, our Mu Family is rely purging the Emperor’s side, and the Emperor of Qin Country still carries the Qin surna. Our Mu Family isn’t interested in the throne."
While the father and daughter of the Mu Family were discussing, Mu Qingge had already set off according to the agreed ti with Qin Jinhao.
She was to lead five hundred trusted aides to spearhead the attack, break through a palace gate, and usher Qin Jinhao into the Imperial Palace, launching a direct assault on Prince Rui.
Only after the plan was finalized did she learn that Qin Jinhao had secretly raised fifty to sixty thousand private soldiers. These soldiers were created with the full power of the Jiang family, but in Mu Qingge’s eyes, they were only so-so.
Thinking of Mu Xiong, who quietly cultivated a hundred thousand of the Thousand Fierce Army in secret, becoming a card in the Mu Family’s hand without causing them any real damage.
Indeed, at the sa ti, he was also nurturing the Mu Family Army stationed in Yi City.
It’s not that the Mu Family is wealthier than the Jiang family, but that Mu Xiong is better at leading troops. Essentially, the Thousand Fierce Army hasn’t increased the Mu Family’s burden; on the contrary, it supports itself through warfare, sending so spoils back to Yi City to supply the Mu Family Army.
Therefore, whether it’s the Mu Family Army or the Thousand Fierce Army, neither can be compared to the group of soldiers Qin Jinhao has raised.
Riding on Black Fla, Mu Qingge recalled Qin Jinhao’s self-satisfied expression before departure and couldn’t help but sneer. ’Keep being smug, for when you fall closest to your dreams, that’s when it becos most unforgettable.’
Under Mo Yang’s leadership, the five hundred trusted aides accompanied Mu Qingge slowly to the front of the palace gate.
The tightly shut palace gate and the towering palace walls were eerily silent.
Black Fla, on which Mu Qingge rode, paced nervously, its hoofbeats echoing constantly on the street. Compared to ordinary beasts, Spirit Beasts possess a greater sense of crisis awareness, and this Fla Horse King seed to have sensed an approaching danger, warning its master.
Mo Yang stepped forward, ca beside Mu Qingge, and whispered, "Little Lord, it seems there’s deception. Should we choose another location?"
Mu Qingge slightly lifted her chin, gazed at the pavilion on the palace wall, and squinted her eyes, shaking her head slowly, "The other palace gates are the sa, why change?"
Suddenly, she raised a wicked smile and said quietly, "This way, it’s more interesting." If Qin Jinxiu didn’t take the bait, that’s when she’d be troubled.
Mo Yang understood the aning in Mu Qingge’s words.
He waved his hand, and imdiately a group of Dragon Tooth Guards stepped forward, ready to forcibly open the palace gate.
The guards near the palace gate had been removed; the tightly closed gate was waiting for them to break through, wasn’t it?
Prince Rui and the Crown Prince both want good reputations, they need legitimate reasons, which she doesn’t require.
Bang bang——! Bang——!
The heavy palace door was violently opened by the Dragon Tooth Guards.
The shattered door fell, revealing the scene behind it.
In the silence, there seed to be a breath of death.
The air carried a slight chill.
Mu Qingge took a deep breath, the corners of her mouth curved into a sharp arc. She slled the hidden killing intent in the air; though it was very well concealed, unfortunately, she was too familiar with it.
Behind the palace gate was a vast plaza. Surrounding the plaza were high walls, with only two gates and stairways leading up to the city wall.
At this mont, one gate was damaged, and the other leading to the Imperial Palace pathway was opened.
Like the maw of a monster, enticing them to venture deeper.
Darkness covered the area, and she seed to hear the heartbeat close to the inner side of the stairway, nestled within the city wall.
