"He aims to achieve multiple objectives," Su Bin explained, "If they succeed in assassinating the Third Prince, it would accomplish his goal. However, if the assassination attempt fails, they can still frame the Flying Cloud Tribe."
"In that case, the Imperial Court would mobilize troops to encircle and suppress the Flying Cloud Tribe."
Su Bin had no intention of withholding any information from Qin Zhenzhen. He was willing to provide her with all the details he had acquired.
"In reality," he continued, "the Flying Cloud Tribe is no longer a bandit stronghold. It was integrated into the Imperial Court’s framework over two decades ago."
"At present, the Flying Cloud Tribe is equivalent to a township, with its leader holding a position akin to that of a town governor. They receive monthly government subsidies."
He further elaborated, "The current Flying Cloud Fortress Master is actually General Lin Yue’s younger brother."
Pretending to be taken aback, Qin Zhenzhen feigned surprise. In truth, she was well-acquainted with the plot of the book. General Lin Yue happened to be the Third Prince’s grandfather. In other words, the Flying Cloud Fortress Master was the Third Prince’s maternal uncle.
The Flying Cloud Tribe played a significant role in aiding the Third Prince’s ascent to the throne.
