Chapter 1494: Deal (6)
"What should we do?" Ji Bin gasped, "My father has already been captured, and we don’t even know where he’s been held. Although Governor’s Office City seems secure for now, the citizens can’t hold out forever. What happens when they perish? Won’t the city fall? Won’t the Yuan people be driven out of Governor’s Office Pass?"
"Aren’t these concerns for the Yuan people to worry about?" The man in the mask chuckled, "After all, you are from Daxuan, do you truly wish to see your nation perish?"
"I don’t care about the nation perishing; all I care about right now is what I should do." Ji Bin’s face twisted menacingly, but he still managed to suppress his voice, "Once Governor’s Office City falls, I’m left with no options but death... but I don’t want to die." He no longer sought wealth and glory; he only wished to save his life.
"Then keep causing them trouble," the man in the mask said indifferently, "The infiltrator you planted in Gu Qingheng’s troops hasn’t been uncovered yet, so make good use of that connection..."
"But what’s the use of that guy surnamed Gu compared to the Crown Prince? Why..."
"Do you have someone by the Crown Prince’s side? Or can you arrange for someone to get close to him?" The masked man’s tone was full of disdain.
Ji Bin fell silent.
"Moreover, Gu Qingheng and his wife Yang Ruxin are formidable foes. Neutralizing them will mean the Crown Prince loses his left and right arms..."
Yang Ruxin’s eyes flashed. Gu Qingheng hadn’t rooted out the traitor yet, probably because he expected to use him still? Such farsightedness.
"Why do I get the feeling that you bear a grudge against Gu Qingheng and Yang Ruxin?" Ji Bin fell silent for a moment, then suddenly realized something, "You coaxed my father into surrendering; you aren’t planning to use me and my father to get rid of those two, are you?"
