Young Mister Qin had come to Lin City precisely with the idea of capturing all those who harbored rebellion against him in one fell swoop!
Three hundred li to the west of Lin City lay his former fief from the days when he had been Prince Xuan. Although he now wore the emperor's crown, this place remained his stronghold, where he could move with ease.
In addition, he had come here in secret, concealing his tracks all along the way.
He had long planned that whether it be the Virtuous King or Jun Ruochen, even if these people had no charges against them, he would fabricate some in order to eradicate them all in one stroke!
When he had been Prince Xuan he was a bit more easygoing, but once he ascended "That Throne," particularly one achieved through questionable means, he became all the more attached to that so-called "virtuous reputation." The very existence of these people made him restless, which is why he devised such a calculating strategy!
