Chapter 1698 - 1698 Not a bad plan _1
1698 Not a bad plan _1
Seeing Tang Zhen’s face full of smiles, the three trial-takers were a little unclear of the exact situation. They did not know whether Tang Zhen was frightened by their own background or if he had a backer behind him. Hence, he was not afraid.
However, looking at the situation in front of them, it seemed to be extremely disadvantageous to them.
Since they were participating in the trial of fate, no one was willing to give up this rare opportunity so easily, so the three trial-takers still wanted to fight for it.
“If you have heard of Lord Hua Yue’s reputation, you should be clear of the consequences of offending him. Thus, it is best for you to cooperate with us and complete Lord Hua Yue’s plan.
After this matter is over, Lord Hua Yue will definitely not treat you badly!
With the protection of Destiny’s Child, I believe that no one on Destiny Island will dare to make things difficult for you.”
The words of these three trial-takers were sincere, as if they were thinking for Tang Zhen.
There were countless participants in a trial of fate, but only one person was qualified in the end. Although everyone hoped that they would be the lucky one, reality was often extremely cruel.
Those who could truly obtain the qualifications to compete for the child of destiny were all extremely talented people, and ordinary cultivators had no chance at all.
Under such circumstances, if he could befriend a noble who was already the son of fate, it was undoubtedly a very cost-effective thing.
The three trial-takers harbored such thoughts. From their point of view, Tang Zhen would definitely carefully consider the pros and cons before making the wisest choice.
In this case, the three of them did not waste their time. In the future, when they were rewarded, they would still be the first to take the credit.
As for Tang Zhen and iron head, he would naturally find an opportunity to kill them after he gained control of the Beichen rebellion to prevent them from fighting for credit in front of Sir Hua Yue.
With such a thought in mind, the three of them looked at Tang Zhen with a trace of anticipation in their eyes.
Tang Zhen pretended to be deep in thought. After thinking for a moment, he replied,”Since you are the subordinates of Lady Hua Yue, I have to give you some face. However, this Bei Chen state’s Revolutionary Army was built by me. Even if it is handed over to Lady Hua Yue, it would be done by me.”
Hearing Tang Zhen’s words, the hearts of the three trial-takers became slightly anxious.
If Tang Zhen were to personally step in and hand over the command of the Beichen rebellion to Hua Yue, their contributions would be greatly reduced.
No, he had to stop this!
At the thought of this, the three trial-takers hurriedly said, ” “Lady Hua Yue is currently busy with worldly affairs and does not have the time to see you. Why don’t we do it this way, you give us military power, and when the time is right, we will take you to see Sir Hua Yue and put in a few good words for you in front of him!”
Tang Zhen shook his head when he heard this. He coldly snorted at the three trial-takers,”Do you think I’m an idiot? I’ll tell you the truth, if you don’t see Lady Hua Yue, don’t even think about obtaining the military power of the Beichen Revolutionary Army!”
Hearing Tang Zhen’s decisive answer, the three test subjects felt troubled. They understood that it was not an easy matter to get Tang Zhen to hand over his military power so easily.
After pondering for a moment, the three trial-takers said, ” “Since you’re not willing to hand over your military power, we have no choice.
However, I’ll say the ugly words first. If you do this, it’s very likely that you’ll make Lady Hua Yue angry.
Do you understand the power of a Destiny’s Child? if you anger him, it will be a disaster for you. I hope you will think twice before acting.”
Tang Zhen merely shook his head and sneered. He stared unblinkingly at the three trial-takers, as if he had already made up his mind.
“How about this, we’ll find a way to contact Lord Hua Yue, but before he arrives, we’ll lead our troops to assist in the siege. After this matter is completed, you’ll also receive some benefits?”
Tang Zhen continued to shake his head. If he couldn’t see Hua Yue, he wouldn’t do anything.
The three trial-takers completely gave up when they saw Tang Zhen’s determined attitude. They knew that they would not be able to monopolize the credit.
“Alright, since you are so insistent, we will introduce you to Lady Hua Yue.”
After cursing a few times in their hearts, the three trial-takers made an agreement with Tang Zhen that they would bring Sir Hua Yue here later.
At that time, Tang Zhen would have to personally pay a visit to him. The meeting place would not be in the military camp to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.
Tang Zhen smiled and nodded in agreement.
After the three of them left, Tang Zhen called iron head over and whispered a few words.
After iron head left, Tang Zhen took out a small metal bird and gently threw it into the sky. Only he could see this scene.
Tang Zhen coldly laughed in his heart when he saw the small metal bird flying in the opposite direction of the three trial participants. He secretly thought that the little metal bird had indeed not given up on its evil intentions.
Tang Zhen mused for a moment after casually recalling the metal bird. He then hurriedly returned to the tent.
After about four hours, one of the three trial-takers appeared again. He claimed that Hua Yue had arrived near the military camp and asked him to pay a visit immediately.
because of lord hua yue’s distinguished status, tang zhen could only go alone and was not allowed to bring any attendants.
Tang Zhen didn’t refuse. After nodding his head in agreement, he followed the trial-taker and quietly left the Beichen continent’s rebel army camp.
The two of them rode on the fast horses and traveled for about twenty miles before they came to a remote forest.
“You wait here, Lady Hua Yue will be here soon.”
After that participant finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. However, he did not expect that Tang Zhen would grab his shoulder and ruthlessly throw him to the ground.
The force of the fall was so great that the volunteer felt like his bones were about to fall apart with a muffled sound.
He could not help but let out a painful groan. He furiously roared at Tang Zhen,”Damn it, are you crazy? what do you want?”
Tang Zhen coldly laughed. He pointed to the forest beside him and said,”It’s better for you to get your accomplices out. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that you’ll still be alive if you wait any longer.”
Upon hearing Tang Zhen’s words, the participant’s expression changed as a trace of panic flashed across his face.
“What are you talking about? Lord Hua Yue will be here soon. If he sees you treating me like this, his impression of you will definitely drop!”
Seeing that the participant was still quibbling, Tang Zhen did not waste any words. With a “Chi” sound, he drew his saber and directly placed it on the participant’s neck.
“I’ll give you ten breaths of time. If you still don’t tell me the truth, I’ll kill you directly!”
Upon seeing the killing intent in Tang Zhen’s eyes, the volunteer finally panicked. His eyes continuously drifted toward the forest, but he was thinking in his heart, where exactly was the flaw?
At this moment, a series of footsteps could be heard. Soon after, more than ten trial-takers rushed out of the forest with swords in their hands and surrounded Tang Zhen.
a bunch of greedy people indeed. What a waste of my time.
He did not kill the three cultivators earlier because he was afraid of alerting the enemy and letting Hua Yue escape after sensing something was wrong.
But now it seemed that Hua Yue had not been with them from the beginning. They had either acted separately, or this group of people had taken advantage of their power.
Since Hua Yue was not here, Tang Zhen did not need to waste any more time.
The long saber in his hand trembled slightly, and the test subject who was lying on the ground struggled for a moment before turning into a white light and disappearing.
The rest of the companions were furious when they saw this. They immediately brandished their swords and attacked Tang Zhen, wanting to kill him to avenge their companions.
After killing Tang Zhen, they only needed to disguise themselves as Tang Zhen, and they would be able to control the Beichen rebellion.
Before the rebel army generals realized anything was wrong, the Imperial City had already been taken. So what if they were exposed?
Their plan was pretty good. Unfortunately, Tang Zhen had already seen through their tricks. Their purpose of following them here was merely to eliminate the weeds and roots.
