“Huangfu Rulong” didn’t say much. His flesh writhed and transford into a small delicate bird that soared into the sky, flying off into the distance, and in a blink, it turned into a streak of light and disappeared.
“Stop ssing around, with that little strength, you can’t even scratch the skin,” the man said sowhat speechlessly.
“No good, if it’s like this, can you withstand the Iron Blood Army and Suspended Mirror Bureau from Great Qian? If we had puppets in hand and also possessed the legitimate Great Qian lineage, after we had revoked the authority of these two departnts, only then could we rest easy.” Having answered the question, the others also saw the light.
“Let’s not talk about the others, big brother, we might as well take the gold and silver and take our families to run away before anything happens,” another man suggested from behind.
“That won’t do, that won’t do. If the Court issues a sea arrest warrant, once the Suspended Mirror Bureau is on our tail, neither you nor I can escape. You must know that the Bureau’s agents are everywhere, and each of them is highly skilled in martial arts. Even I wouldn’t last a single round. If we really were to flee, I’m afraid we wouldn’t make it three days past the city gates before we’re caught,” the leading man vetoed the idea of fleeing.
“Big brother, why don’t we just storm the Imperial Palace and kill Emperor Qian? Then we can ascend to the throne ourselves. Why rely on those useless ones?” soone asked, puzzled.
“Big brother is wise, then we should not delay and take action imdiately.”
“Imperial City? Ha, I’m not afraid of that birdshit Emperor Qian. If it weren’t for that bastard, we wouldn’t have fallen to such straits. It was just a little extra salary, and he had the nerve to dismiss us from our posts. Today’s the day, we’ll start by striking a Prince to vent our anger,” the leading man said with full malice.
“Let’s gamble, and follow big brother to fight for a future.”
“Right, big brother, what should we do next?”
“Alright, get up, everyone’s gone,” the man said abruptly.
“Okay, you guys go to the different noble mansions and kidnap those Royal Family mbers; everyone else contact the old troops. After the deed is done, signal with a beacon!” the man commanded imdiately.
“Disaster, disaster, after beating up a Prince like this, Emperor Qian won’t let us off. When that happens, we’ll surely be thrown into the great prison,” the leading man’s expression beca very unsightly after he realized the implications.
“Then big brother…what do we do?” another man asked.
“You’d better hurry it up, I still need to continue fooling people, I have to go ahead,” the man said and decisively left. Everyone was busy just now, having arranged to clean up the scene, and after a brief chat while working, naturally, they had no ti to talk, so they each went their own way.
“That’s no different from now. Whether we leave or stay, it’s all death. So, we might as well take a gamble. If we succeed, each one of us brothers could beco a marquis or even a chancellor,” the leading man added.
“If it weren’t for the support of loyal servants like us who are devoted to the nation, how could he have secured his position on the throne?”
“Yes, yes, yes, I will go handle it right away.” The servant was soone with keen eyesight, seeing that Huangfu Rulong was angry, naturally, he went to give orders.
“Under the Emperor’s feet? That Emperor still has to call ‘Uncle’, what is he really worth.” Huangfu Rulong, already dissatisfied with Emperor Qian, flared up even more when the servant echoed his thoughts, and imdiately reprimanded him.
“What’s all the commotion outside, why so noisy? Go and break a leg of whoever’s making noise and throw them into the river, they’re disturbing my peace,” Huangfu Rulong said with a dark expression, really believing that just because he had lost power, any Tom, Dick, or Harry felt they could step on him. Even though he had lost his fiefdom, he was still a present-day Prince.
“Let’s revolt,” the leading man said through gritted teeth. “Go contact those brothers and old troops who have been removed. If all goes well, by today we could rally three to five thousand n. Then we’ll capture those Royal Family mbers who have entered the city. Following She Xi and the rest of the Alien Clan, we’ll pick a wastrel from among them and turn the world upside down.”
“We will follow big brother’s orders.”
“Sir, this is the Imperial City, right under the Emperor’s feet, this might not be appropriate,” the servant said hesitantly.

“Tsk, forget it, where have you hidden the person? Hurry up and switch. I’ve finished my scene and need to move on to the next,” said ‘Huangfu Rulong’ with a smile.
“This is high treason. If we fail…” a man muttered under his breath.
“This lot is so useless. If it weren’t for our inside-outside coordination, we might not have succeeded.” The man walked to the side, reached into the well, pulled out the person who was hanging inside, and after tidying up the scene, they disguised the person properly.
“But everything is so rushed, can it really work?” another man asked worriedly.
“As long as we control Great Qian, what cris should we fear?”
“Let’s go together.”
Huangfu Rulong’s face darkened as he drank, looking at the single plate of peanuts and the cloudy wine in front of him, which he would not have even glanced at in the past, and he felt a surge of humiliation.
Seeing Huangfu Rulong fleeing, the others naturally chased after him, blows had been struck, and this matter was certainly not going to end well.
A servant hurried in and said, “My lord, do you have any orders?”
With just a few words and the pressure applied, everyone present chose to join the rebellion.
Seeing the hesitance in many people’s expressions, they were clearly swayed by his words, after all, if they really wanted to flee, they would have done so by now.
But the problem was, it was all too late.
You say this won’t work, that won’t work, then you should co up with a charter. We can’t just let the brothers wait here to die, can we?
After storming out furiously, he saw a group of n beating up the people he had brought, each one getting punched until their noses were blue and their faces swollen. When they saw him co out, all of their gazes focused on him, and that fierce look in their eyes sobered Huangfu Rulong up instantly.
His intention was simple; he wanted these bumpkins to know exactly what happens when they offend a prince like himself.
Huangfu Rulong who was lying nearby also got up: “You’re hitting too hard, look what you did to .”
A group of people left in a rush, their hearts filled with excitent. If this really worked out, they too could beco nobles.
So, caught up in the mont, they charged forward and held Huangfu Rulong down and beat him rcilessly.
Now wasn’t the ti to run; you can’t just surrender without a fight, right?
At those words, everyone was shocked. They had been thinking of fleeing, but instead, you’re telling us to rebel—this wasn’t a question of asure, but of sanity.
This startled Huangfu Rulong, who imdiately backed away several steps. Seeing the others getting closer, he had no choice but to turn tail and run. The n, their bodies reeking of alcohol and seemingly quite drunk, clearly weren’t in the mood to let him off easy.
This left everyone exchanging awkward looks. To go or not to go, that was the question.
Although this mission was relatively simple—just a matter of bluffing a bunch of fools—they still had to steer things correctly to avoid any major problems, especially since it involved the construction of the Primordial Dragon, and any mistakes could affect the quality of the materials.
While brooding and thinking about how to retaliate, he heard a commotion outside. With a frown, he imdiately barked, “You worthless slave, get in here.”
Huangfu Rulong said this, but he held back his anger. As much as he felt Emperor Qian was too much, he also knew that he was just one solitary person who couldn’t shake Emperor Qian.
But the noise grew louder and seed to escalate into a fight, making Huangfu Rulong’s expression grow even darker.
It wasn’t until they had beaten him to within an inch of his life, and the sweat on his body broke out, that the alcohol finally wore off.
They left quickly, not waiting for anyone. Clearly, they were very confident about this matter.
