Chapter 1037: Chapter 706: Situation Reversal

Lord of Tianfeng City looked very displeased, staring at General Shan: "You really didn’t do this?"

General Shan knew the Lord was angry, so he quickly knelt: "Please see the truth, City Lord. Although I have some grievances with Water General, I would never do something so foolish, wouldn’t that ruin your reputation?"

The Lord’s demeanor softened considerably, and he replied indifferently: "It’s best if you didn’t do it, but do you really believe Water General is connected with the Free Heaven Country?"

General Shan remained silent for a moment before speaking: "Putting aside prejudices, I find Water General’s recent behavior too strange. If two Black Clothes men truly appeared at his mansion, why couldn’t that be part of his plan?"

The Lord of Tianfeng City shook his head with a smile: "Do you think General Shan has such capabilities, he wouldn’t have been suppressed by me to this point, and wouldn’t be just a city guardian, insulted as a guard dog without any ability to counterattack?"

"City Lord is indeed right on this point, but I always feel there’s something fishy about it..."

Before General Shan could finish, the Lord of Tianfeng City interrupted: "Do not bring this up again, I’ll naturally have someone monitor it, but don’t provoke Water General further. A cornered dog will jump over a wall, let alone a General."

Back at the General’s Mansion, Water General felt extremely pleased; he finally succeeded this time.

"The ruler of Free Heaven Country indeed has overwhelming strategy, with just a minor trick, now General Shan is suppressed below me, and the Lord of Tianfeng City’s suspicions are dispelled. I hold the initiative, I should devise a plan..."

Water General knows to help Free Heaven Country suppress the Lord of Tianfeng City, the primary task is to eliminate General Shan, otherwise, it will become a tremendous obstacle.

Moreover, if he truly becomes the Lord of Tianfeng City, General Shan certainly can’t be his Subordinate General, this is a massive hidden danger.

So no matter what, General Shan must be dealt with first, and only then can other matters be considered.

"Otherwise, ally with other Generals first, otherwise, how can I deal with it alone?"

At this moment, Water General paced back and forth, not noticing a Subordinate General behind him.

"Water General..."

This Subordinate General looked at Water General in disbelief, having heard his mutterings.

Water General’s heart skipped a beat: "Lian Wei, I..."

Originally wanting to explain something, but the Subordinate General kneeled, punching his fists together: "No matter what choice the General makes, I will follow behind the General, and my brothers as well!"

Water General was stunned for a moment, then spoke after a long pause: "This matter is not my wish, but General Shan and the Lord of Tianfeng City have pushed me too far. I cannot bear it any longer!"

"We understand the situation, but please think carefully, don’t be deceived by the people of Free Heaven Country. By the time vengeance is achieved, I’m afraid the entire Tianfeng City will..."

Water General assured: "Rest assured, I’ve thought it through, once I become the Lord of Tianfeng City, such situations will not occur!"

This subordinate’s gaze was firm: "If that’s the case, we brothers will follow you, no matter what decision you make, even if we must personally kill the Lord of Tianfeng City!"

With such subordinates, what more could Water General wish for in this life?

With the support of his few subordinates, Water General naturally acted more boldly and confidently.

At night, he sent his men to the Bei Family.

At Bei Family, they drafted the next step of the plan.

"What use is spreading such rumors? I’m afraid..."

Water General’s subordinate hesitated after hearing Ping Xiao’s plan.

Ping Xiao smiled faintly: "Rest assured, this is only the first step. Once you follow this method, you’ll understand why."

Though the subordinate had some doubts, he still took the message back to Water General’s mansion.

This Deputy General reported to Water General: "General, this plan doesn’t seem particularly secure to me, it’s clearly a conspiracy!"

Water General shook his head and laughed: "Such schemes were used against me too, didn’t I lose my temper and attack General Shan’s Mansion, ending up like this?"

The Deputy General hesitated for a moment, realizing it was true.

It seems sometimes plans don’t have to be perfectly executed; a minor trick can suffice.

Indeed, the next day brought another message: that General Shan seemed to harbor rebellious intentions.

Most people naturally didn’t believe such rumors, as General Shan had always been loyal to the Lord of Tianfeng City, earning significant merits.

If allegations of betrayal arose about other of the Eight Great Generals, people might believe it, but only General Shan was the least likely.

Initially, General Shan paid no heed to it, but unexpectedly, two days later, "evidence" appeared.

This evidence included letters between General Shan and the former Family Head of Dragon Mountain, discussing matters of establishing an independent faction.

These letters were exchanged seamlessly, and it looked authentic, not fabricated.

These letters spread rapidly around the city, and soon reached the ears of the Lord of Tianfeng City.

The Lord did not summon General Shan immediately but consulted his Counselor.

The Staff Officer thoughtfully fanned himself and said: "City Lord, this is likely a ploy by the Bei Family and the Free Heaven Country. First, they spread rumors about Water General, and now rumors about General Shan. Anyone sharp can see what’s really going on."
