49, Top Three

Jin Zhu smiled at Chen Ji and said, "Lord Prime Minister is a master of strategy. Knowing Yun Yang and Jiao Tu are good at succeeding but prone to failure, he had me wait on the sidelines early on to take over the moment they capsized in the gutter. Right now, the Military Intelligence Department and the Liu Family probably haven't realized that I'm already in Luocheng City. It's the perfect time to launch a surprise attack... to capture them."

Chen Ji's sense of crisis grew. The Prime Minister really had deep and meticulous thoughts.

So Yun Yang and Jiao Tu were just pawns used to distract the enemy. Once they capsized, the enemy would relax after their brief victory. That's when Jin Zhu would silently enter the fray. The enemy is in the light, and we are in the shadows, bound to harvest some gains.

It seemed that promoting Yun Yang and Jiao Tu to the Twelve Signs half a year in advance was for this moment!
