Chapter 1771 1775: Future Emperor?

Qin Tian's words seemed to have penetration, causing Gongsun Sanniang to press her lips together, then stare at Qin Tian.

"Yes, I am convinced."

Gongsun Sanniang said, "On one hand, your Dragon Qi and the Demon Clan's aura, as presented, make Sanniang believe that you are no ordinary person. Moreover, for someone so young to have such power, I have only read in ancient texts that those legendary Saints could reach such levels."

"Of course, to be honest, Madam, on the other hand, is the strength of the two leaders in our Gongsun Family, my eldest sister and second sister, is too strong... if I don't have powerful support, I fear I will never fulfill my master's dying wish of retaking the position of Family Head in this lifetime."

"I previously chose the Ninth Prince, but now it seems to me, you are stronger, smarter, and decisively ruthless than the Ninth Prince, and now you have a great army outside, in fact, your power is not weaker than the Ninth Prince, just the potential hasn't been completely unleashed yet."

"Me choosing to rely on you now is akin to a gamble. I've thought a lot over the past few days and finally decided I am willing to bind my fate with yours, to share in your glory or downfall. Therefore, tonight I met with the Ninth Prince's contacts."

Gongsun Sanniang's words, this time, were her heartfelt thoughts.

Qin Tian looked at her, approached, and lifted her chin, saying, "You indeed know how to make judgments."

"Don't worry, choosing to follow me before I truly rise is enormously risky. But upon my success, the rewards will be equally enormous. If I succeed, I promise you'll sit in the Family Head position."

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Sanniang was deeply moved, bowed down: "Sanniang thanks you, Master. Sanniang will spare no efforts to help you ascend to the Emperor's throne!"

"The Emperor's throne... hehe, don't keep repeating that. Never mention my identity again."

"Sanniang obeys."

Qin Tian raised her up, saying: "Your vow of loyalty, I won't judge by words but by deeds. Going forward, it depends on your performance. As for appearances, we will remain as General and Supervisor; for now, we must avoid being detected. When the time is right, I will announce to everyone."

Gongsun Sanniang nodded: "I will follow your arrangements in everything."

...

"Young Master, how is it? Does Gongsun Sanniang hide any secrets?"

When Qin Tian returned to his residence, the worried Du Qiuniang quickly asked.

Qin Tian shook his head, smiled: "No, I followed her out, she just went for a stroll, didn't meet anyone. Of course, it's possible she spotted me and called off any plans."

Qin Tian, already experienced in lying, did so without batting an eye.

"Qiuniang, you don't need to watch her anymore; instead, focus on protecting Bing Jie. I worry someone in the Imperial City might come for her."

"Alright."

Qin Tian suppressed the matter regarding Gongsun Sanniang, and thereafter he closely monitored her activities.

Meanwhile, every month Bing Di demands Gongsun Sanniang writes a secret report to the Imperial City, reporting Qin Tian's situation.

Since Gongsun Sanniang became Qin Tian's female slave, every report she writes is first shown to Qin Tian for approval, only then sent to the Imperial City.

In her reports, she always praised Qin Tian.

Originally, Bing Di intended to use Gongsun Sanniang to appease Qin Tian, to calm him down; after receiving her reports, Bing Di indeed settled down.

At the same time, Qin Tian and Gongsun Sanniang both worried about the Ninth Prince and his group.

After Gongsun Sanniang stopped cooperating with the Ninth Prince, the Ninth Prince discovered two informants who contacted Gongsun Sanniang were found dead, raising concern about any forthcoming retaliatory actions.

In the following half month, however, no significant retaliation was seen; instead, Xu Kuan brought Qin Tian a piece of stunning news from the front lines.

"General, someone from Wu Wang's side contacted us, saying they're ready to raise an army and pledge allegiance, planning to revolt against Wu Wang."

For this matter, Xu Kuan personally came to Yueya City to report to Qin Tian.

Qin Tian was startled upon hearing this.

"Who is it?" he asked.

"The City Lord of Lin City under Wu Wang, Che Aijun," Xu Kuan replied.

"Oh?"

Qin Tian nodded, Lin City is considered a major town in West State. Based on Qin Tian's previous information, Lin City's garrison counts at least fifty thousand, also forming part of the frontline forces in East West State.

"Have you investigated the reason why Che Aijun wants to rebel?"

On the battlefield, Qin Tian had heard many stories of fake surrenders. At such a pivotal time in the West State war, Qin Tian prudently wanted to prevent being tricked.

"Investigated," Xu Kuan said, "Originally Lin City was under the control of the Che Family, dominating the region. After Wu Wang's rebellion, he forced the Che Family to submit, originally transferring five out of their ten thousand soldiers."

"In such circumstances, the Che Family endured. But then..."

Xu Kuan faintly smiled, "Earlier, Wu Wang personally inspected the frontline, reaching Lin City, and naturally Che Aijun and other leaders accompanied him."

"Unexpectedly, Wu Wang became captivated by Che Aijun's wife, and so..."

"Geez, did this really happen?"

Qin Tian was taken aback upon hearing this; if that was indeed the case, Che Aijun's rebellion was sure to be genuine.

A man certainly cannot tolerate his woman being taken away.

Especially someone like Che Aijun, a local power holder.

"Is this true?" Qin Tian asked.

Xu Kuan nodded: "I sent several scouts to investigate, and the information is genuine. Wu Wang seems prepared to live in Lin City permanently, and intends to reside in Che Aijun's mansion... General, you should clearly know what he wants."

"Hehe, that old Wu Wang, not typically lustful, suddenly dares act audaciously?"

Qin Tian lightly chuckled, thought for a moment, said: "Send word to Old Xu, keep in contact with him, promise him that when Wu Wang is in Lin City, seize the chance to kill Wu Wang and pledge allegiance with Wu Wang's head; that's a significant achievement."

"I conveyed this, but Che Aijun replied, saying that once Wu Wang resides in Lin City, his power will be too strong, numerous experts around, fearing they might fail and instead face Wu Wang's wrath, thus earnestly requesting to defect preemptively."

Hearing Xu Kuan's words, Qin Tian's anxious heart finally settled.

If Che Aijun intended to fake surrender, surely he would have agreed, even insisting on sending troops for support.

But Che Aijun's choice to lead troops to defect in advance clearly indicates his true desire to switch allegiances.
