Chapter 291 Strategy System

Lin Shuang rebelled without any warning.

Yu Zhuo was not surprised by this, as it was all reasonable.

Lin Shuang is a carp and has been discriminated against by the mermaids for many years. His race has limited his development and doomed him to a rough life.

Lin Shuang might have had hope for Tamo.

He went on expeditions, guarded the borders, and brought back the Thousand Treasures Fruit... His purpose was to make a name for himself among the mermaids. Of course, he also wanted to let Tamo see the potential of their carp tribe.

He did it for himself, and even more for his people.

However, at his celebration banquet, Tamo drank bone soup made from the skulls of his people.

…What is all this?

What was the purpose of everything he had done so far for Tamo and the mermaid royal family?

Lin Shuang had given Tamo a chance. Most of Tamo's decisions were influenced by Qi Mohan, including the skull, which Qi Mohan had bought at the auction.

As long as Tamo can punish Qi Mohan, Lin Shuang feels that he is not hopeless.

But Tamo was rotten to the core.

He was unwilling to punish Qi Mohan, and he acted recklessly and without discipline, so the Mermaid Dynasty perished early in his hands.

This throne that he usurped should be returned to the original king.

This is Lin Shuang’s choice.

Not long after this, Zhou Yanshu received news from Lin Shuang.

Lin Shuang's rebellion came without warning, but Tamo was not unprepared. In fact, he had already taken precautions against Lin Shuang. Although the border troops were numerous, they had difficulty passing the checkpoints guarded by the soldiers, and their activities were limited to the northern border.

There are many supporters of Zhou Yanshu in the mermaid tribe who are ready to make a move. Lin Shuang knows that Zhou Yanshu is also secretly assembling an army, and it has already reached a certain scale.

Now that he has taken the initiative to seek cooperation with Zhou Yanshu, he has shown his intention to join the new king.

Yu Zhuo propped up his chin and looked at the messages on the screen. He knew a thing or two about these military strategies. He looked at Zhou Yanshu and asked, "Brother, what do you think? Lin Shuang is not someone who is easy to control."

Killing someone with a borrowed knife is the best option, but it would be a loss if they get themselves involved.

Zhou Yanshu deleted the information on the screen, raised his lips slightly, and said, "I think he has great potential and is a good candidate for use."

Yu Zhuo rolled his eyes slightly: "But he still has a grudge against the mermaid royal family. If he knew about that skull..."

"It doesn't matter whether he knows or not. We just help him face the reality." Zhou Yan said calmly, "If he can't even accept this, we can just kill him after we're done."

Yu Zhuo snorted and threw his phone aside: "Good idea."

Zhou Yanshu privately transferred part of his troops to Linshuang. These can be regarded as Zhou Yanshu's sincere gifts.

Lin Shuang obtained support from the army within the mermaid royal family. In less than three days, he conquered the dangerous peaks and passed the passes and headed straight for the palace of the mermaid royal family.

Even though Tamo was slow to notice, he immediately sent people to arrest Zhou Yanshu. The soldiers violently broke open the door of the Earl's villa, but the place was already empty.

"Damn it! That damn bastard Zhou Yanshu teamed up with Lin Shuang to rebel! I should have killed him at the beginning!" Tamo was furious after hearing the news from the front. He overturned the glass of wine on the table, his eyes glared with bloodshot eyes.

Qi Mohan stood one or two meters away from him. No one knew what he was thinking. He just leaned against the stone pillar behind him, with half of his body shrouded in shadow.

"Qi Mohan..." Tamo suddenly turned his gaze to Qi Mohan. He grabbed the fallen wine glasses and cups beside him and smashed them at him.

"I wanted to kill Zhou Yanshu, but you said no! You said you wanted to keep him to humiliate him, and look at what has happened to you now! That Yu Zhuo is not a good person either, they are not good people at all! You are simply stupid..."

The golden wine cup smashed to the ground with a sharp, painful sound. Qi Mohan stood still and took it all in.

"Your Majesty, are you blaming me now?" Qi Mohan picked up the wine glass on the ground. He turned the glass upside down and slowly poured out the wine drop by drop.

"Isn't it your fault? None of those bad ideas you came up with worked!" Tamo scolded Qi Mohan in frustration. He put his hands on the table and heard new news coming from outside the door.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Those rebels, he, they are coming this way!"

Tamo's face turned pale: "What?!"

The army led by Lin Shuang was unstoppable all the way. He has now entered the imperial city and is rapidly approaching the palace where Tamo is.

Tamo stood there for two seconds, his ears buzzing for a moment, and he immediately reached out and haphazardly picked up a few expensive things from the table and stuffed them into his pockets, then turned around and prepared to run away.

As long as Tamo is alive, he will always have the opportunity to overthrow Zhou Yanshu in the future.

"You idiot, hurry up and leave!" Tamo packed up his things and was about to leave through the secret passage with Qi Mohan.

Qi Mohan stood still, looking at Tamo and asked, "Your Majesty, where are you going?"

"Go through the secret passage!" Tamo's face wrinkled. He stared at Qi Mohan and shouted, "What happened to you today? You are so stupid! I tell you, if your legs become weak, you will die here. I can't take care of you!"

Tamo said this and strode towards the entrance of the secret passage.

Qi Mohan watched him silently from where he was. He saw Tamo stretched out his hand and twisted the silver ceramic bottle next to him a few times. After a few loud bangs, the door of the secret passage showed no sign of opening.

After trying several times without success, Tamer kicked the wall hard: "Why the hell can't it be opened! Why can't it be opened!"

Qi Mohan walked out from the shadows. He looked at Tamo and said slowly, "Your Majesty, you ordered me to build this secret passage. But I forgot to tell you that it was broken a month ago."

Tamo paused, he turned around and looked at Qi Mohan, his lips almost trembling with anger.

“You, you…”

Qi Mohan was helpless: "It broke down due to years of disrepair. You didn't ask, so I didn't tell you."

Tamo gritted his teeth and said, "Are you going to kill me!!!"

Qi Mohan looked at him in silence.

In the moment of silence, Tamo suddenly thought of some possibilities. Bloodshot eyes spread in his eyes and he trembled, "...You are also in cahoots with Zhou Yanshu...All the things you asked me to do were for him..."

Tamo's eyes were sharp, and he screamed, "You are all in the same gang!"

Qi Mohan smiled. He didn't expect that Tamo would suddenly come to his senses: "Don't say that, Your Majesty. You have been sitting on the throne for so many years, and I have helped you a lot. Shouldn't you humans be honest?"

"You are Zhou Yanshu's man... Then why did you help me ascend the throne? You have assisted me for so many years, so many years... Why did you do that?"

"Because this world lacks a mermaid king." Qi Mohan said calmly, "If no one can inherit Zhou Yanshu's position, a certain rule of this world will be broken. The world will lose balance, and naturally it will attract the attention of a big shot above."

"If I'm discovered, I'll be finished." Qi Mohan put his index finger to his lips, making a gesture to keep quiet, "So now... I can only sacrifice you."
