“He aims to achieve multiple objectives,” Su Bin explained, “If they succeed in a.s.sa.s.sinating the Third Prince, it would accomplish his goal. However, if the a.s.sa.s.sination 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.

Unaware that Qin Zhenzhen was already familiar with these plot details, Su Bin continued to offer a patient explanation.

“The Flying Cloud Fortress Master is the Third Prince’s maternal great-uncle. Over two decades ago, General Lin Yue had not yet inherited his father’s military authority and was not a general at that time. He had been tasked with leading troops to besiege the Flying Cloud Tribe.”

“Unexpectedly, his fifth brother, Lin Wu, who had never entered the military camp and had a penchant for wandering, fell in love with the Flying Cloud Fortress Master’s daughter.”

“After much persuasion, they finally convinced the Flying Cloud Tribe to integrate with the Imperial Court, and Lin Wu became the son-in-law residing with the Flying Cloud Fortress Master.”

“Due to this arrangement, the General Manor publicly declared their disavowal of Lin Wu, keeping his true ident.i.ty concealed from the public eye.”

“As a result, very few people are aware that the Flying Cloud Fortress Master hails from the General Manor,” Su Bin concluded.

He continued to share all the information he had acquired with Qin Zhenzhen, stating, “I only recently discovered this fact myself.”

“His Highness the Crown Prince and others must have obtained this information not long ago as well.”

Su Bin expressed his astonishment, remarking, “I didn’t antic.i.p.ate the Crown

Prince to be so ruthless, even toward a younger brother who has yet to come of age.”

Qin Zhenzhen responded emotionally, “If we don’t eliminate him before he ascends to power, it will be far more challenging to handle him once he consolidates his position.”

Su Bin found himself taken aback, inquiring, “Wife, do you hold the Third Prince in high regard?”

Quietly nodding, Qin Zhenzhen indeed held the Third Prince in high regard.

With the protagonist’s aura surrounding him, his ultimate destiny was to occupy the throne.

As for the Crown Prince, he was a licentious individual without moral boundaries, and Qin Zhenzhen did not approve of his ascension to the throne.

Her ideal scenario involved the Third Prince launching a ruthless counteroffensive and dethroning the Crown Prince, thereby securing the throne.

Reflecting on the Crown Prince’s intelligence and cunning, Qin Zhenzhen sighed once more. “It’s truly inconceivable. That fellow possesses a keen sense of danger.”

Su Bin, however, shook his head, remarking, “The Crown Prince is a debauched individual. How could he possibly perceive himself as being in jeopardy? It’s that strategist named Lin at his side.”

“I can’t quite decipher Lin’s personality.”

“He’s the one who advised the Crown Prince not to harbor any intentions toward you and to focus on contributing to the welfare of the people. Initially, I thought he was a gentleman who was earnestly guiding the Crown Prince toward the right path.”

“In this instance, he’s achieving multiple objectives,” Su Bin concurred, “I find his actions excessively ruthless. He appears willing to go to any lengths to realize his ambitions.”

Qin Zhenzhen nodded firmly, emphasizing, “We should remain vigilant regarding this individual in the future.”

Su Bin agreed, adding, “Indeed. The governor summoned you to the study earlier. What transpired during your conversation? Did he perceive a different facet of your character?”

Smiling, Su Bin shook his head, revealing, “I’ve concealed myself so thoroughly that not even the emperor or the crown prince have detected anything. How could he possibly discern anything?”

“Actually, he summoned me to the study for a separate matter,” Su Bin continued, now ready to disclose the details of his conversation with the governor to Qin Zhenzhen..
