Chapter 2

"It's over!"1Despair flashed in Wang Meng's eyes.1He was a late-stage master, yet this person suppressed him with just one hand. This showed that the opponent was incredibly powerful, likely a grand master!1"Qiang!"1A fierce determination then appeared in Wang Meng's eyes.1He raised the dagger in his hand and aimed it at his throat.1He was ready to end his life.1After all, the fact that His Highness sent him to kill Qin Tian must remain a secret. His Highness couldn't afford the reputation of killing his own brothers!1If he committed suicide, His Highness could blame everything on him, labeling him a spy or something similar.1This way, his family would be protected!1"You dare to play tricks in front of me? You don't know your own abilities!"1Xiahou Dun slapped the dagger away, grabbed Wang Meng, and headed towards the lord's room.1"It's over!"1Fear filled Wang Meng's eyes.1If he failed to commit suicide, he would face torture.1If he couldn't withstand it and revealed His Highness's identity, the consequences would be disastrous.1"Lord, can you rest now?"1Xiahou Dun called out loudly as he reached Qin Tian's room.1Hearing Xiahou Dun's voice, Qin Tian stood up and walked out.1"My lord, this thief sneaked into the courtyard and was captured by the general. Please forgive me, lord!"1Xiahou Dun forced Wang Meng to kneel before Qin Tian, clasping his hands into fists, and spoke loudly.1"Lord?"1Wang Meng was in disbelief when he heard Xiahou Dun addressing Qin Tian as "lord."1It was incredible!1After all, Xiahou Dun captured him with one move, so he must be a powerful master. How could he call a concubine his lord?1"Wang Meng!"1Qin Tian removed the mask from Wang Meng's face and immediately recognized him.1"Kill him!"1After identifying him, Qin Tian waved his hand and spoke calmly.1Wang Meng was the attendant of the eldest prince, Qin Shengwu, so he must have been following Qin Shengwu's orders to kill him!1As for reporting to the palace, everyone knew that King Zhenbei favored Qin Shengwu, so in the end, nothing would come of it.1"I will obey my orders!"1Xiahou Dun said respectfully, clasping his hands into fists.1"Wait!"1Wang Meng quickly interjected.1"Ninth Young Master, there's something I don't understand. Could you please explain it?"1Wang Meng asked Qin Tian.1He was genuinely curious about Xiahou Dun's origin.1And he was also very curious about Qin Tian.1Could it be that everything before was Qin Tian's disguise?1"You do not deserve!"1Qin Tian glanced at Wang Meng and spoke expressionlessly.1This person did not deserve to ask questions.1...1Xiahou Dun carried Wang Meng outside.1Wang Meng had already resigned himself to his fate without any struggle.

"Qin Shengwu!"1Qin Tian stood up, hands clasped behind his back, and walked out of the room. He looked in the direction of Qin Shengwu, his eyes flashing with cold determination as he murmured softly.1Qin Shengwu was the eldest son, and his mother came from a wealthy family with a powerful figure at the level of a celestial being!1To confront Qin Shengwu, one would have to pass the test of King Zhenbei, his father!1King Zhenbei's cultivation was at the pinnacle of the Celestial Human Realm, commanding millions of cavalry!1Moreover, there were two strong men from the Land of Gods and Fairies in charge.1...1[Ding, the host has been given a chance to sign in. Do you want to sign in?]1When Qin Tian woke up in the morning, a system notification sounded in his mind.1"Sign in!"1Qin Tian said quickly.1[Ding, sign in successfully!]1[Congratulations to the host for getting Li Kui!]1[Name: Li Kui]1[Realm: Peak of Grandmaster]1[Loyalty: 100%]1The system prompt sounded.1"Li Kui?"1Qin Tian murmured softly.1He knew that Li Kui was one of the so-called heroes in Liangshan, but Li Kui could not be called a hero!1However, Li Kui had something worthy of praise: his loyalty to Song Jiang!1Even when poisoned to death by Song Jiang, he never complained.1"Li Kui pays homage to his lord and is willing to die in his service!"1After Li Kui materialized, he quickly walked to Qin Tian, knelt on one knee, and said loudly.1"Good!"1Qin Tian looked Li Kui up and down. Judging by his appearance, Li Kui was even more powerful than Xiahou Dun and Hua Xiong.1He quickly stepped forward and helped Li Kui up.

Qin Tian led Hua Xiong, Xiahou Dun, Li Kui, and others outside, preparing to buy a house and move out of the palace.1...1"Are you sure this mansion only costs five hundred taels of silver?"1Qin Tian asked the broker.1The mansion was a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits, complete with rockeries, gardens, ponds, and more.1According to the market price, it should be worth at least 2,000 taels of silver.1But now the broker was telling him it only cost five hundred taels of silver.1"Sir, don't worry, I won't lie to you."1"As long as you agree and sign the contract, I'll give you the land deed immediately!"1Sun Ming, the broker, said with a smile.1"First, tell me why this place is so cheap. I'm considering whether to buy it."1Qin Tian said calmly.1This place was so cheap, there had to be a reason.1"Sir, a wealthy businessman originally lived here. Now he can't turn over the funds in his business, so he sold the house at a low price to get some quick cash."1Sun Ming said with a smile.1"Be honest!"1Qin Tian glanced at Sun Ming and said lightly.1He didn't believe the broker would tell the truth so easily.1"You guys, if you don't tell the truth, are you going to get beaten?"1Li Kui glared, lifted Sun Ming up, and shouted angrily.1"Sir, please spare my life. I'll tell you everything."1When Sun Ming saw Li Kui's fierce look, he felt frightened and quickly said.1"Say it quickly!"1"If my lord finds out you lied to me, he'll rip off your head and play with it like a ball!"1Li Kui threw Sun Ming down and said coldly.1"Sir, the thing is, this mansion is indeed the property of a wealthy businessman."1"However, the boss of the Qingyun Gang took a fancy to this mansion and forced the wealthy businessman to give it to him."1"The wealthy businessman didn't want to, so he had to sell it at a low price."1After Sun Ming was put down, he quickly ran to the other side of Qin Tian and started telling the story, fearing that Li Kui would twist his head off.1"I see!"1Qin Tian's face showed a look of understanding.1"I'll take it!"1Qin Tian said calmly.1This place was very suitable for him. As for the Qingyun Gang, he didn't care at all.1"Okay, sir, I'll handle the formalities for you right away."1Sun Ming originally thought this deal would fall through. When he heard Qin Tian's words, he was stunned for a moment, then his face showed a look of ecstasy, and he spoke quickly.

Boom!"1After Qin Tian completed the formalities, he had just returned to the mansion when a loud noise echoed, and the courtyard door was kicked open.1"That jerk bought this place."1"Doesn't he know that this is the place my Qingyun Gang is interested in?"1Chen Lang kicked the door open, strode in, and shouted.1"That's right!"1"If he dares to ruin the good deeds of our Qingyun Gang, I'd like to see how many heads he has."1...1Behind him were five younger brothers who all shouted.1"If you dare to kick the door of your grandfather's house, I will twist your heads off and make you drink!"1Li Kui looked at the intruders, his face showing anger, his body exuding a strong murderous aura, and he said angrily.1"Kill!"1Li Kui carried two giant axes and charged at Chen Lang and the others.1"Misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding."1"Grandpa, spare our lives."1...1Chen Lang and the others saw the aura emanating from Li Kui, which was stronger than their gang leader's. They knew their gang leader was a strong master in the master realm.1They immediately realized they had offended the wrong person and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy.1"Kill!"1Li Kui didn't care what Chen Lang and the others said and swiftly dealt with them using his two axes.1...1Qin Tian watched calmly and said nothing.1Chen Lang and the others kicking down the door had made him very dissatisfied. They deserved to die at Li Kui's hands.1"Tieniu, next time you attack, don't make it so bloody."1Qin Tian looked at the blood in front of the door and said to Li Kui.1"Lord, I will clean it right now."1Li Kui touched his head, smiled honestly, and said quickly.1...1"Which of you can cook?"1When it was time for lunch, Qin Tian asked Li Kui, Hua Xiong, Xiahou Dun, and Lu Zhishen.1Lu Zhishen, Xiahou Dun, Hua Xiong, and the others looked at each other and quickly shook their heads.1They were good at killing people, but cooking was a different story.1"Hua Xiong, go out and buy some food and drinks and come back."1Qin Tian threw a money bag to Hua Xiong and gave him instructions.1Originally, Li Kui's cultivation was the weakest, so he should have done the errands.1But Qin Tian knew Li Kui's temperament and was afraid of causing trouble if he let him out, so it was safer to send Hua Xiong.1"My lord, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon."1After Hua Xiong took the money bag, he clasped his hands and said respectfully.1...1"Your Highness, I have discovered that the Ninth Young Master has left the palace."1Zheng Chao quickly reported to Qin Shengwu.1"Um?"1Qin Shengwu frowned.1He noticed something unusual.1Wang Meng did not return all night, and his ninth brother was not dead either.1Something must have happened.1"Continue to investigate the situation."1"Remember not to alarm anyone."1Qin Shengwu pondered for a moment and then spoke.1"I humbly obey your orders."1Zheng Chao clasped his hands and said respectfully.

"Sign in!"1One day passed in the blink of an eye. After Qin Tian woke up, he immediately spoke to the system.1[Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in and receiving Da Qin Iron Eagle Warriors x10!]1The system prompt sounded.1"Iron Eagle Warriors?"1Qin Tian's eyes lit up when he heard the system prompt!1He knew about the Iron Eagle Warriors.1They were the most elite force in Da Qin.1The entire Great Qin Dynasty had only screened out more than 1,600 people, half of whom came from the thousand-man team of the Suicide God Bai Qi.1They made great contributions to the unification of the six countries by the Qin Dynasty!1It was said that once the Iron Eagle Warriors appeared, the armies of the Six Nations were eclipsed.1[Weapon type: Iron Eagle Warrior]1[Realm: Early stage of Grandmaster]1Qin Tian looked at the interface of Iron Eagle Warriors.1"As expected of the Iron Eagle Warriors!"1Qin Tian praised.1Each Iron Eagle warrior was a military commander individually!1"I humble myself and pay my respects to my lord!"1"I humble myself and pay my respects to my lord!"1...1Ten Iron Eagle warriors materialized, quickly walked to Qin Tian, knelt on one knee, clasped their fists in both hands, and spoke loudly and forcefully.1"Everyone, please get up!"1Qin Tian quickly helped them up.1He looked at the Iron Eagle warriors, who were covered in armor. They held spears in one hand and shields in the other. They had short swords and daggers on their waists. They carried hard bows and twenty long arrows on their backs. They were armed to the teeth.1...1Qin Tian led the ten Iron Eagle warriors out and handed them over to Xiahou Dun to take charge of the security of the entire mansion.1...1"Sir, I discovered that there are many informants outside the mansion."1Xiahou Dun strode into the room, clasped his hands into fists, saluted Qin Tian, and said respectfully.1"Arrest them all and interrogate them!"1Qin Tian's eyes flashed with cold light as he spoke.1"I will obey my orders!"1Xiahou Dun nodded, clasped his hands into fists, and said respectfully.1

"My lord has an order: leave a few of the spies outside alive, and kill all the others!"1After Xiahou Dun exited the room, he summoned the Iron Eagle warriors and gave instructions.1"As you command!"1"As you command!"1...1The ten Iron Eagle warriors clasped their hands and responded in cold voices.1"Whoosh!"1"Whoosh!"1...1With that, the ten Iron Eagle warriors turned into afterimages and left quickly.1...1Outside the mansion, in a hidden place, two men gathered together, discussing with each other and occasionally glancing at the mansion.1"Old Zhou, how's it going? Can you find out their origins?"1"No, they haven't come into contact with anyone except people from the restaurant."1"Okay, by the way, Lao Zhou, I heard that Yingchun Tower has a new attraction. Is it any good?"1"What? You haven't experienced it yet?"1"Not yet, Lao Zhou, tell me about it!"1...1"Thud."1"Thud."1While the two were chatting enthusiastically, they felt a sharp pain in their necks. Their vision went dark, and they lost consciousness.
