Chapter 5437: Empire Scheming
"I naturally believe what Elder Bai Mu said, but with the imperial army coming, aren't you worried that these people will completely annex the Snow Country?"
"Elder, you also know that the Empire has always been at odds with our Snow Country. It is inevitable that they will take this opportunity to conquer the Snow Country in one fell swoop."
Qu Hun licked his lips and said with some concern.
"Oh, if you can guess it, why can't I guess it?"
"But you don't have to worry too much about this matter. The Empire has never taken the Snow Country seriously from the beginning to the end."
"If they really wanted to capture the Snow Country, do you think we could have held out until today?"
Bai Mu sneered and looked at Qu Hun deeply and said.
"Elder Bai Mu, what do you mean?"
Qu Hun's pupils shrank slightly, and he asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Humph, the power of the empire is far beyond our imagination. You are not unaware of my former strength in the Snow Tribe."
"But after accepting the Empire's help, I was even able to assassinate the old king quietly. Can't you see the gap between the two countries?"
Bai Mu said coldly, and there was a hint of contempt in his eyes when he looked at Qu Hun.
He is indeed a guy who only knows how to flatter. He has already explained the situation almost completely, but he is still so stupid.
"I see. But why did the Empire allow the Snow Country to confront them?"
"Since they have enough strength to capture the Snow Country, why do they still keep us here?"
Qu Hun looked at Bai Mu as if he was looking at an idiot, and could only lower his head and ask in shame.
"Humph, there can be countless snow countries in the Tianyu Realm, so why can't it be us."
"The Empire has been deliberately letting us develop until they can complete their final goal."
Bai Mu said in a deep voice, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.
"Target?"
Qu Hun was stunned and repeated it subconsciously.
"The internal struggle of the empire is very fierce. The princes under the emperor are all fighting for the right to inherit the future empire."
"And the existence of the Snow Country is the prize given to the sole victor after the internal struggle of the empire ends."
"Elder Qu Hun, why don't you think about it, how would you feel after your old enemy is defeated?"
Bai Mu sneered and said calmly, but there was a flash of anger in his eyes.
After this reminder, Qu Hun's mind suddenly became clear.
"So, the Empire is intentionally cultivating the civilians' hostility towards us."
"When that successor appears, it will be the day our Snow Country will be destroyed?!"
Qu Hun took a deep breath, unable to imagine that the Empire had been planning such a thing from the beginning to the end.
"Of course, but if I were in charge of the Snow Country, I could naturally avoid the emergence of this crisis."
"The Imperial man who was secretly in contact with me was actually..."
When Bai Mu was about to tell everyone who contacted him, he quickly stopped talking.
"Forget it. It's useless to tell you these things. You just need to know that I am the only one who can prevent the destruction of the Snow Country."
Bai Mu waved his hand and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Elder Bai Mu!"
Qu Hun also looked like he didn't care about what Bai Mu had just said, and quickly bowed.
"Please remember what I am going to tell you next."
"Tomorrow Qin Wu will receive a report that the imperial army is approaching the Snow Country."
"Then you can directly advise Qin Wu to lead a group of Snow Clan warriors to take the initiative to investigate the true strength of those imperial soldiers."
Bai Mu narrowed his eyes and instructed Qu Hun in a concentrated voice.
"This... Elder Bai Mu, are you planning to kill the Great Elder?"
Qu Hun swallowed his saliva, having already seen through Bai Mu's naked conspiracy.
"Of course, Qin Wu is always a nuisance if he stays in Snow Country."
"You should also know that he is a die-hard supporter of the royal family and will definitely help Wan Renxue ascend to the throne in the end."
"But if she were to ascend the throne, do you think the Snow Country would still have a chance of winning against the Tianyu Empire?"
Bai Mu looked at Qu Hun deeply and asked a question that hit his heart.
"This... I understand, Elder Bai Mu!"
"Tomorrow I will personally persuade the Great Elder to take people to investigate."
Qu Hun lowered his head and gritted his teeth for a while, and when he looked up again, a firm look appeared in his eyes.
"But...if the Great Elder can escape back to the Snow Country unscathed, what should we do then?"
Qu Hun looked worried, obviously afraid that Qin Wu would hold him accountable after returning to the Snow Country.
"Don't worry, I'm sure I can keep him there."
"Although Qingbei Hou is my enemy, his strength should not be underestimated. Qin Wu will die on this trip."
Bai Mu said with an unwilling look on his face.
Even though he held a grudge against Qingbei Hou, he could not deny Qingbei Hou's powerful fighting ability.
The young Qingbei Hou was able to inflict severe damage on him back then. Bai Mu couldn't imagine how strong Qingbei Hou was now.
"In that case, Elder Bai Mu can rest assured and leave this matter to me!"
Qu Hun gritted his teeth and became completely determined.
After the two of them conspired again, Bai Mu took back all the dark matter that enveloped the entire hall.
Taking advantage of the night, Bai Mu quietly left the hall where Qu Hun was.
There are undercurrents in the Snow Country, and the Tianyu Empire is also in unrest.
Inside the imperial city, Lu Ji, wearing armor, walked towards the magnificent imperial palace step by step.
The two eunuchs guarding the door saw Lu Ji coming and did not dare to stop him. They quickly lowered their heads and stepped aside.
Lu Ji stepped forward and pushed open the door of the imperial palace, and a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared before his eyes.
"Qingbei Hou, I already know what happened in your family, and I am also very angry about it."
"I have granted your request, please leave."
On the high platform of the imperial palace, a tall figure sat on the dragon throne.
"Marquis Qingbei, thank the Emperor!"
Lu Ji half-knelt on the ground and respectfully bowed to the figure on the dragon throne.
After the ceremony, Lu Ji stood up with a gloomy face, turned around and walked straight out of the imperial palace.
There was deep murderous intent and anger in his eyes.
After watching Lu Ji leave, the emperor on the dragon throne waved his hand and the open palace door quickly closed.
"You've gone a little too far this time."
The emperor turned his head slightly and looked at a figure in the corner of the imperial palace.
"Father, you once taught us that to become an emperor we must be cunning and calculating."
"The Qingbeihou family has made great contributions. In recent years, their reputation has even surpassed that of the royal family."
"No matter whether Qingbei Hou has rebellious thoughts or not, such a person must not be allowed to stay."
The figure in the dark spoke solemnly, with murderous intent in his tone.
"Hmm... not bad, you really are worthy of being the prince that your father values the most."
"If you can keep up this plan, I'm afraid my position will belong to you."
