75 Battle for the throne reaches its climax (1/2)
Still gasping for breath, Bai Shen didn't even dare look upwards.
Nodding his head while looking at the floor with eyes filled with fear, Bai Shen made a not that he'd take care of Yailing once he became the King.
”Feel free to command Sun Hai as you see fit. But don't even think about coming back alive, if you don't obtain the throne.”
”Also, don't waste time with stupid plannings and such. You'll never be able to beat Bai Zhen that way. Just launch a full frontal attack, and kill him as soon as possible.”
Struggling to his feet, Bai Shen once again nodded and didn't reply.
Seeing this, Guo Tian who was originally feeling nervous sighed from relief over the fact that his decision to support the crown prince wasn't a bad one.
Having finished doing what she was told to, Yailing left the room leaving Bai Shen, Guo Tian, and Sun Hai alone.
Coughing for a while until his breathing finally stabilized, Bai Shen said, ”Let's first find about where Bai Zhen is, and kill him.”
…
Bai Zhen on the other hand after having just heard about the 'marriage' between his sister and Cao Song, didn't even have enough tone to feel happy before learning of the King suddenly dying.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Cursing his luck for not having enough time to prepare, and feeling that Yailing was probably behind what happened to the King, Bai Zhen tried to find out where Cao Hai was.
It took him around an hour so to figure out about where Cao Hai was, but that turned out to be useless because General Cao Hai came to find him on his own.
”General Cao Hai! Thank God you're here! We need to quickly come up with a plan before Bai Shen takes the initiative.”
Nodding his head Cao Hai said, ”I agree with you, Prince Bai Zhen. However, I've heard that Sun Hai, and Guo Tian are already organizing their armies, and are getting ready to attack.”
Frowning hard from hearing those words Bai Zhen felt that even after obtaining Cao Hai's support, his situation still hadn't changed in the slightest.
Why?
Even though he was so smart, why wasn't even a single thing going his way?!
”General, if Bai Shen launches an attack with both the armies, what do you think our chances at winning are?”
Thinking for a while, Cao Hai said, ”I cannot guarantee that we will win, but I can hold them back and give you an opportunity to fight Bai Shen on your own, and kill him.”
”Once you do that, there will no longer be a need for us to fight their army.”
Nodding his head since this suggestion seemed quite acceptable, and the only idea which gave him a chance at winning, Bai Zhen said, ”Let's go with your plan General Cao Hai. I can take care of that Bai Shen.”
Not saying anything else, Cao Hai left to prepare the soldiers under him, while Bai Long had a smirk from how the two princes were so easy to manipulate.
