Two days later.
News from Beiliang and Xijing arrived in the capital on the same day, one after the other, thanks to the urgent dispatch of personnel from both sides, but to two different destinations.
At this moment, inside the Hall of Filial Piety in the Imperial Palace.
After reading the two secret letters, Jin Fengluan's delicate face was now filled with an extremely complex expression.
Down in the audience, Jin Jiande's expression was somewhat different; his face had become rather serious.
The assassins sent out earlier have not left any news for several days, which is a deviation from the original plan, making Jin Jiande somewhat uneasy.
However, considering that it would be difficult to send messages back after entering Beiliang, since it is not like the capital, most of the place is uninhabited and desolate, perhaps they are proceeding according to plan, but have been delayed.
Perhaps... they've already laid an ambush along Qin Ze's inevitable route!
As long as the ballista is aimed at Qin Ze and the fireball is placed inside, it can be fired from hundreds of meters away to Qin Ze's side. Once it successfully lands next to Qin Ze and explodes, if even a piece of iron enters Qin Ze's body, he will surely die!
You should know that those iron plates were coated with a deadly poison!
Just as Jin Jiande was making his own guesses, Jin Fengluan's cold snort pulled him back to reality.
"Hmph, Qin Ze is not dead yet. He is still in Beiliang. Logically speaking, the news of Huang Long's death should have already reached Beiliang. He couldn't possibly not know about it."
"So it seems he's planned a rebellion! That scoundrel!"
Jin Jiande lowered his head and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone knows that Qin Ze is plotting a rebellion. Since he still intends to leave Beiliang, Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, we should dispatch troops ahead of time to suppress Qin Ze!"
Jin Fengluan's face was as cold as frost as she sneered, "That's right! Now that the matter in Xijing is settled, we can deal with Qin Ze with peace of mind!"
"Isn't he plotting a rebellion? Then let's spread the word far and wide, proclaim to the world that the Prince of Zhenbei is a traitor who intends to rebel!"
"At the same time, conscript civilians into the army! Expand the army! I want to see how many men he has! And how many people he can kill! Humph!"
Jin Jian nodded and chuckled, saying, "Yes! Your Majesty's insight is brilliant!"
“If more civilians are conscripted into the army, they will surely hate Qin Ze to the core. After all, the country has only just been brought to peace, and now they have to go to the battlefield. I think Qin Ze…”
No sooner had she finished speaking than Jin Fengluan angrily rebuked her:
"Jin Jiande! What's so funny? You can still laugh at a time like this!"
"Didn't you say you were sure you could kill Qin Ze? If you had just assassinated him, all this trouble wouldn't have happened!"
This angry rebuke made Jin Jiande's face freeze. He lowered his head and whispered, "Your Majesty, there are still two days left out of five days..."
Jin Fengluan snorted coldly, "You're sure you can kill him within two days?"
Jin Jiande stammered, "It should be possible."
"Should? Then it can't be!"
"Forget it, relying on you to send someone to assassinate him is unlikely to succeed now. The best way to deal with Qin Ze is to sweep him away with a large army."
Upon hearing this, Jin Jiande's expression changed, and a strong sense of defeat arose in his heart.
Jin Fengluan continued, "But today we received news from Xijing, which is finally some good news."
"Hmph, that so-called Red Tide Alliance actually instigated a civil uprising in Xijing and started a war with the Tuyuan Kingdom. They really don't know what's good for them!"
"But this is a good thing. Let the Crimson Tide Alliance fight with the Tu Yuan Kingdom. Once they are all dead, they will have no chance to cause trouble for my Great Qian."
At this point, she frowned and coldly rebuked Jin Jiande again:
"You were put in charge of the Thousand Machine Battalion, but to this day you still haven't found out who is actually in charge of the Crimson Tide Alliance. You're completely useless!"
"If they hadn't caused trouble in Xijing, I'm afraid I wouldn't have even known they entered the capital, right under my nose!"
Jin Jiande blushed and hurriedly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
"However, Your Majesty need not worry. They are not capable of doing anything bigger. They are currently fighting against Tu Yuan Kingdom in Xijing, and they must have suffered heavy casualties. We can slowly wipe them out in the future."
Jin Fengluan frowned, pinched the bridge of her nose, and said, "Although they are currently at war with Tuyuan Kingdom in Xijing, I am always uneasy. I always feel that... someone is plotting something behind the scenes."
Jin Jiande nodded. "Your Majesty need not worry too much, Your Majesty, I will take all necessary measures to deal with this."
"Alright, you can go now."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jin Fengluan saw that he was still standing there and didn't leave, so she frowned and said:
"What? Is there something else? I've already used your sachet, and I've been sleeping very well these past few days."
Jin Jian blushed and said, "No... I have something else to say."
"Speak," Jin Fengluan said calmly.
"Your Majesty, the chaos in Xijing is escalating rapidly. I'm sure Qin Ze is already aware of it. Do you think he might... take it upon himself to lead a large army there?"
