"When I asked you to assassinate him, you didn't say that!"
Grand Tutor Wen sneered, "Now you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge to save yourself. Do you think you can do it?"
"Grand Tutor Wen, it's better to leave a line for people to meet in the future. This matter was done by you!"
General Chen shrugged and said, "Are you going to blame me?"
"What a joke, what a joke!"
Grand Tutor Wen sneered, "Since you insist on this, I bet you won't live for three days. Don't blame me for not warning you then!"
After saying that, Grand Tutor Wen turned and left. He was unwilling to waste time here. General Chen couldn't see through him, so he didn't want to say more.
General Chen frowned. He could clearly sense that Grand Tutor Wen's words had hidden meanings, which made his expression gradually gloomy. In fact, he also knew that once this matter was exposed, the Heavenly Emperor would surely be furious, and it would not be easy for him to escape responsibility.
"What, have you figured it out now?" Grand Tutor Wen sneered, "Let me tell you the truth! I asked you to raise an army, not just to raise an army alone, but to go and pledge allegiance to King Jin'an. As long as you reach King Jin'an's city, you don't need to worry about anything else!"
"General Chen is an old general in the army. After all, he can gather many generals. When he goes to King Jin'an's mansion, he will become a honored guest!" Grand Tutor Wen said coldly.
"King Jin'an?"
General Chen was stunned, "Do you mean King Jin'an is rebelling? Otherwise, why would he take us in!"
"Don't you forget, King Jin'an is my son-in-law. I am treading on thin ice in this Heavenly Court, all for the sake of him becoming the Lord of the Heavenly Court one day!" Grand Tutor Wen said coldly, "This is a rare opportunity. If you lead your troops to surrender, you will surely be reused in the future. When King Jin'an succeeds to the throne, you will enjoy unparalleled glory!"
"So everything you did was to drag me down!"
General Chen looked at Grand Tutor Wen, "In this way, you can help your son-in-law King Jin'an strengthen his troops and fight against the Heavenly Court?"
"This time, to deal with the Hell Dynasty, the Heavenly Court's troops have been greatly reduced, which is the time to attack the Heavenly Court!" Grand Tutor Wen said directly, "If General Chen is unwilling, I naturally won't force you!"
"Grand Tutor Wen has said it to this extent. If I refuse, wouldn't that be too unappreciative!"
General Chen said helplessly, "Since that's the case, I will surrender to King Jin'an. When we kill our way into the Heavenly Court in the future, I can also become a commander."
"That's right!"
Grand Tutor Wen showed an evil smile, with a hint of coldness, as if everything was under his control.
After Grand Tutor Wen left, General Chen took the token and was about to leave by force. He knew very well that once Grand Tutor Wen was exposed, he would also be exposed. At that time, the entire Chen family would be finished, and even his life would be buried here.
Three days later, the palace was decorated with lanterns and streamers. To celebrate Lu Fan's triumphant return, many ministers were invited. Lu Fan was the protagonist of today's celebration banquet.
The Heavenly Emperor sat in the main seat, looking very happy. This time, causing the Hell Dynasty to suffer a loss was a great display of dragon might for the Heavenly Dynasty. As the Lord of the Heavenly Dynasty, he was naturally very pleased.
"Northwest King, I promised you that I would catch the mastermind within these three days and give you justice!" the Heavenly Emperor said with a smile, "It will be achieved soon."
"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor!"
Lu Fan cupped his fists. He could see the Heavenly Emperor's intentions. Su Dan Novel Network.
Many ministers present were confused, not knowing what was going on. Did the Heavenly Emperor already know who the murderer was, otherwise, why would he be so calm?
"By the way, why haven't General Chen and Grand Tutor Wen arrived yet?"
Among the civil and military officials, everyone spoke, and they were even more curious. After all, these two had high status and great influence in the entire Heavenly Dynasty. Under normal circumstances, they should have come here.
At the same time, the Heavenly Emperor was drinking fine wine, looking indifferent.
However, at this moment, the leader of the Dragon Court hurried over, as if something had happened.
"Reporting to the Heavenly Emperor, General Chen has left the imperial city with the Tiger Tally!"
With these words, the scene below erupted like a pot of boiling water, and it was even more unbelievable. General Chen's actions were a crime punishable by extermination of the nine generations.
"What about Grand Tutor Wen?" the Heavenly Emperor asked coldly. It seemed they were still a step too late. They had originally planned to give Lu Fan a great gift at this celebration banquet, but they did not expect this outcome.
"Grand Tutor Wen is also missing, and he left the capital a few days ago!" the leader of the Dragon Court said, cupping his fists.
"It seems they have colluded!"
The wine cup in the Heavenly Emperor's hand shattered instantly, "What audacity! To dare to go this far, is this world not the king's land? Where can they escape to!"
"I heard that Grand Tutor Wen's son-in-law is King Jin'an. If my guess is correct, they have likely gone to King Jin'an's city!" the leader of the Dragon Court said again, cupping his fists.
"If that's the case, immediately take the Dragon Court personnel and go to King Jin'an's mansion to capture them!" the Heavenly Emperor's eyes were cold.
"This matter may not be that simple!"
Lu Fan spoke, "If these two were the ones who assassinated me, and they went to King Jin'an's mansion together, they must have conspired. After all, General Chen left with the Tiger Tally, which means he has mobilized the army!"
"Does the Northwest King mean that King Jin'an's mansion is going to rebel?"
The leader of the Dragon Court was slightly stunned, and his expression was solemn. If that were the case, it would be no trivial matter.
"I didn't say that, but the facts should be so!"
Lu Fan shrugged slightly, his words showing no hesitation.
"If King Jin'an dares to rebel, I will make him pay the price!" the Heavenly Emperor's eyes were cold, with a chilling glint.
Lu Fan stood in place, but did not say much. King Jin'an's rebellion was not that simple. If there was no absolute certainty, he would not have done so.
"Heavenly Emperor, what should we do now?" the leader of the Dragon Court asked, cupping his fists.
The Heavenly Emperor looked at Lu Fan, "Northwest King, your million-strong army is outside the imperial city. Since the King's mansion has ill intentions, you should lead your army to flatten King Jin'an's mansion!"
"As per the Heavenly Emperor's order!"
Lu Fan cupped his fists, "However, King Jin'an's mansion must have been prepared long ago. It will probably take some time to capture them!"
"No matter the cost, let them know the majesty of the Heavenly Dynasty!"
The Heavenly Emperor's voice was cold, "Those who dare to rebel will be killed without mercy!"
Lu Fan cupped his fists and turned to leave. He looked even more imposing. He had long been dissatisfied with Grand Tutor Wen. Now that he had the opportunity, he must eliminate him to vent his anger.
