Chapter 281: Suspicion is a Seed

"There is a saying that planning lies with mankind but the outcome is determined by the heaven."

"Did Mu Rongtian fail, and is everything really over?"

Of course not. Mu Rongtian had long anticipated the possibility of such an occurrence and had even prepared a contingency plan, which involved sacrificing dozens of Imperial Capital Guards he had cherished for years, in order to put into motion an even greater strategy.

"Are you, Ye Feng, not arrogant and decisive in your killing?"

But have you ever considered that the more swiftly you kill, the deeper the thorn in Duan Tian's heart will lodge? With three hundred thousand soldiers of the Northern Border raging outside, and now with forty-five unjustly killed Imperial Guards, suspicion is inevitable.
