Hearing Ye Fan’s words, Gu Tang secretly nodded in agreement, “Young Master Ye speaks sensibly! In recent years, undercurrents have been surging within the Red Tiger Domain. Apart from Prince Jin and the royal family’s troops, I indeed feel that there are other forces stirring up trouble… They all want me dead, so I shall fulfill their wish…”
The Red Tiger Domain sits in the Northwest, deterring those petty forces!
Though Gu Tang is severely injured, he still maintains his well-known reputation. As long as Gu Tang keeps breathing, he is the soul of the Red Tiger Domain!
Therefore, whether it’s Prince Jin’s people from within or the strong ones from Europa outside the borders, and even the forces from Northwest Sin City, all wish for Gu Tang’s death.
Since Ye Fan has put forth this suggestion, why not ‘die’ once and reveal those monsters and demons!
“Father! This is inappropriate at this moment… A person should not die on a whim, it’s morally wrong, Confucius said…”
Gu Changsheng’s old pedantic habit cropped up again, shaking his head while expressing his objections to Ye Fan and his father’s plan.
Boom!
Ye Fan didn’t pamper Gu Changsheng at all, “Enough! Bookworm… Your father could be poisoned once, naturally, he could be poisoned a second time! Do you want your father to ultimately die of poison?”
While speaking, Ye Fan tapped on Gu Changsheng’s head.
Gu Changsheng, in pain, kept rubbing his head, “Of course I don’t want that!”
Gu Changsheng cherishes his own head very much; if anyone else dared to tap his head like that, he would definitely fight back.
But solely towards Ye Fan, since the time in the Vermilion Bird Domain military exercises, Gu Changsheng recognized Ye Fan’s prowess, deeply admiring him from his heart and willingly obeying Ye Fan.
“That’s it! Rather than let them continue to poison your father afterward, it’s better for us to lure them out this time and catch them all in one net… It’s not real death, just a feigned death, and perhaps we will make unexpected discoveries… Remember to cry more sadly then…”
Gu Changsheng was still struggling, but Ye Fan didn’t care to console him anymore, “Old Guo, Huizi, Elder Shan…let’s start moving… Quickly spread the news to everyone in the Red Tiger Domain, informing them to come to mourn…”
At that time, the loyal from the traitors will be clear!
…
Hoo hoo hoo!
A somber horn sounded in the Red Tiger Domain, and simultaneously, a shocking piece of news spread across the domain!
“Commander Gu Tang of the Red Tiger Domain, due to the recurrence of old injuries compounded by some poisoning, has passed away!”
“Additionally, it’s reported that Vice Commander Zhou intended to rebel, Young Master Gu executed him on the spot, Commander Hu has also been captured… However, Commander Gu’s Direct Lineage Troops have all been seriously injured… All Chiliarchs and core members of the Red Tiger Domain above are now notified to come and mourn…”
With deliberate manipulation by Ye Fan, Gu Changsheng and others, the news spread like it had wings, rapidly throughout the Red Tiger Domain.
For a while, the whole Red Tiger Domain began to boil.
“What? Didn’t we just come back from the commander’s tent? Commander Gu was perfectly fine, how did he suddenly die?”
“Exactly! I saw it with my own eyes; Commander Gu had even killed several traitors… His death was too sudden!”
All the Direct Lineage Troops who were involved in the recent battle were stunned upon hearing the news.
But their immediate superior seemed to understand something.
“Perhaps… The Commander was just experiencing a final flicker of life! You all stay at the camp… I will go there myself…”
This Chiliarch seemed to realize that there might still be a fierce battle today.
With Young Master Ye’s heaven-defying abilities here, even if Yama himself came for the Commander’s life, Ye Fan would probably snatch it back, right?
In a quiet camp in the Red Tiger Domain, a bearded man, after receiving the news, excitedly grabbed the subordinate next to him by the throat, “You say Gu Tang is dead? Are you sure about the news?”
“Absolutely sure! It was the spy I placed who personally saw it… I heard that Gu Tang had returned to normal! But while he was discussing affairs with the generals in the main tent, he suddenly collapsed again, Military Doctor Wang has confirmed that Gu Tang is no longer breathing… The mourning hall has already been arranged, sir, should we go and see?”
The subordinate, while speaking, also cautiously glanced around, “If Gu Tang is really dead, we in Sin City have nothing to fear! We can invade An City and bring it under the control of Sin City… Then Sin City can continue to expand into Great Xia Inner Realm…”
“Shut up! Speak less, the City Lord said… unless it’s a special circumstance, don’t expose our identities and strengths! Humph! I have now climbed to the position of Chiliarch, even if Gu Tang doesn’t die, it won’t be long before I can become a Division Commander, and with the brothers we’ve turned, we can stir up some trouble…”
The bearded man sounded somewhat proud and schadenfreude, “But I indeed need to see the scene myself! Gu Tang better not pull a fake death like Ye Fan… that would cause us big trouble…”
“You handle the arrangements, when I’m not in the main camp, keep an eye on controlling the entire camp! Never let anyone discover our secrets in the camp… The City Lord needs fresh blood urgently for his practice, if we lose this source, the City Lord will want your head!”
“Yes!”
…
In another large camp in the Red Tiger Domain, a man holding two iron balls repeatedly kneaded them in his hand, “Gu Tang is dead? Mike, are you so sure? I’m afraid you have misperceived it?”
“Yak… I’m absolutely sure, they in Great Xia attach great importance to life and death, the mourning hall has already been set up! Gu Changsheng cried bitterly, Elder Shan General even cried until he fainted, it was a mess at the scene, this can’t be faked!”
“Yak, how about we immediately report the news to Prince Kris? Let him also be happy!”
These people were infiltrators arranged by the Bolidian Royal Family.
Prince Kris, who had personally attempted and failed in the Vermilion Bird Domain, also failed when he used the Gu Sect… and his physical body was destroyed, if not for a mysterious expert preserving his soul by a special method, Prince Kris would have been obliterated long ago.
In the Red Tiger Domain, Kris had already arranged capable people; some were already at the level of Division Commanders.
Although they did not directly act on Gu Tang’s poisoning, they facilitated it.
For instance, in Gu Tang’s personal guard, someone was bribed by the Bolidian Royal Family to allow certain potions to smoothly enter the main tent.
“No rush! I’ll go have a look… That so-called Time Poison shouldn’t logically erupt so violently!”
“Hmph! If Gu Tang has faked his death and I discover it, I won’t mind helping him end it for real… by then, chaos will ensue in the Red Tiger Domain, and we can take advantage of the disorder… Bolidian will definitely be able to reap many benefits…”
