Chapter 1980 - 1984: Seizing Control of Tiger City

In fact, at this time, the more than a hundred Forbidden Army members that Wang Qingde brought along were gradually diminishing after they set off. By the time they reached Tiger City, they had all disappeared.

At this moment, Wang Qingde was so scared that he couldn’t sleep at night. He knew it was Qin Tian’s doing, but he dared not fall out with Qin Tian. After all, he was now in the midst of 300,000 troops, with the Qin Marquis by his side. If he wasn’t careful, those 300,000 troops could drown him with a single spit.

"Oh, Lord Wang, why are your guards getting fewer? Are these guys so tired of the journey that they all deserted?"

That day, on the way to Tiger City, Qin Tian walked up to Wang Qingde and said to him.

Wang Qingde forced a smile, one that looked worse than crying.

"No worries, my Qin Family Army has always been brave. I’ll assign you four Qin Family Army guards to ensure Lord Wang’s safety!"

After speaking, Qin Tian gestured, and four Qin Family Army soldiers walked in.

Wang Qingde’s expression turned stiff, awkwardly saying, "Marquis Qin... no need... Qin Family Army... I, I..."

In the Imperial City, Wang Qingde had also heard of the bravery of Qin Tian’s Qin Family Army. Now, seeing Qin Tian sending four soldiers to "protect" him, he regretted it deeply. Had he known, he wouldn’t have volunteered to the Ice Emperor to go to the West State to proclaim the decree. Now he was like a sheep in a tiger’s mouth, being watched by Qin Tian. His life was no longer his own!

"If you don’t accept, and something happens to you, like getting assassinated, don’t blame me for not sending someone to protect you, okay?" Qin Tian chuckled when he saw Wang Qingde trying to refuse.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingde was so frightened that he quickly saluted, "I don’t dare, I don’t dare. Thank you, Marquis Qin, thank you, Marquis Qin! You’re very considerate; I’m honored to accept..."

Wang Qingde was sweating profusely, praying he could reach the Imperial City as soon as possible.

But he didn’t know, this time, they would never return to the Imperial City.

Over in Tiger City, hearing that Qin Tian was bringing 300,000 troops with him, there was already an uproar.

The garrison commander in Tiger City, Huang Lianhai, sent three groups of people to stop them, but they were all dismissed by Qin Tian.

The reason Qin Tian gave was that the Ice Emperor had summoned him, and they were passing by to rest. If you dare not open the city gates to welcome us, are you rebelling?

According to Tianyuan Dynasty etiquette, officials with an Imperial Decree must not be treated negligently by the city officials when passing through a city.

Huang Lianhai was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, thinking that he could accommodate Qin Tian, but accommodating Qin Tian with 300,000 troops was another matter!

To say they were resting was just a guise to occupy Tiger City!

However, Huang Lianhai’s rank was several levels lower than Qin Tian’s, and since even Wang Qingde, the favorite around the Ice Emperor, had spoken, Huang Lianhai had no reason to stop Qin Tian from entering the city.

He continuously sent people to report to his superiors while also sending people to the Imperial City to report this matter to the Ministry of War as quickly as possible.

But the people he sent had only traveled for half a day when Qin Tian and his group had already arrived at the foot of Tiger City’s city wall.

With the army at his doorstep, after his request for the 300,000 troops to rest outside the city was refused, Huang Lianhai could only employ delaying tactics, waiting for orders from his superiors to act accordingly.

"General Huang, I am a noble Marquis. I’m returning to the Imperial City under an Imperial Decree, passing by your Tiger City. Do you dare not come out to greet this Marquis? Do you look down on me?"

Outside Tiger City’s gates, Qin Tian directly shouted at Huang Lianhai, who was atop the city gate tower.

Huang Lianhai swallowed nervously, forced to say, "Please wait a moment, Marquis Qin. I would never dare to neglect you, but at this moment... I... I..."

Huang Lianhai simply couldn’t find an excuse to stall Qin Tian.

And just as he stammered, a sudden light shot into the sky and then fell straight down, descending towards the city gate tower of Tiger City!

Huang Lianhai had already stationed True Qi crossbowmen on the city gate tower. When they saw a light flying towards them, the twenty-something True Qi crossbowmen surrounding Huang Lianhai immediately shot their arrows!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

All the True Qi arrow rain was directly shaken off by the light wave.

And then, when Huang Lianhai came to his senses, Qin Tian was already standing beside him. Before Huang Lianhai could react, Qin Tian’s hand was already on his shoulder!

Huang Lianhai’s face changed drastically!

In fact, as soon as Qin Tian had leapt, he could have ordered the Flying Beast Soldiers and the True Qi crossbowmen to take action together, which would have surely stopped Qin Tian from getting close.

But once they acted, it would be an open assassination attempt on Marquis Qin, clearly tearing faces and going to war!

Huang Lianhai didn’t have the guts for that, so he hesitated.

"General Huang, are you not welcoming me?"

Standing beside him, Qin Tian said coldly.

Huang Lianhai’s guards and the True Qi crossbowmen from just now instantly stared menacingly at Qin Tian!

"I... dare not." Huang Lianhai swallowed, sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Hmph? You don’t dare? Just now, your True Qi crossbowmen shot arrows, trying to kill me? Ambushing me is an unforgivable crime. I’ll help you clean them up; you have no objections, right?"

Before Huang Lianhai could speak, Qin Tian’s arm suddenly swung, and a mighty True Qi burst forth. The dozens of True Qi crossbowmen who had shot at Qin Tian were directly blasted away, falling off the city wall, all dead!

Hiss!

Upon seeing this, Huang Lianhai’s face turned ashen, his whole body stiff!

When Qin Tian acted just now, he felt the oppressive power of Qin Tian’s True Qi. Such strength wasn’t something a mere general like him could withstand!

"I’ll ask you one more time, will you open the gates?!"

As Huang Lianhai was shocked, Qin Tian’s voice, filled with killing intent, abruptly entered his ears!

Huang Lianhai shuddered all over, stammering, "Open, open the gates..."

Tiger City’s gates opened, and Qin Tian’s 300,000 troops slowly entered the city.

Atop the city gate tower, once the 300,000 troops had entered, Qin Tian said to Huang Lianhai, "General Huang, my 300,000 troops are under the Imperial Decree of the Ice Emperor, to be personally brought back by Lord Wang Qingde, leaving none behind. To avoid any accidents, their patrol personnel will be stationed to guard the city gate tower; you have no objections, right?"

Swish!

Upon hearing Qin Tian’s words, Huang Lianhai was shocked. He never expected that Marquis Qin would be so eager to take complete control of Tiger City as soon as the soldiers entered!

But with just 50,000 men, what could Huang Lianhai do?

"Marquis Qin, is this... Lord Wang’s intention?" Huang Lianhai asked.

Qin Tian sneered, "It is indeed Lord Wang’s intention. If not, why don’t you ask him yourself?"

Wang Qingde walked to the city gate tower. When Huang Lianhai saw the four master guards following Wang Qingde closely, he instantly understood that Wang Qingde had already been controlled by Qin Tian!

This Qin Tian had no intention of returning to the Imperial City at all! Instead, he wanted to take advantage of the Ice Emperor’s decree to seize the cities east of the West State!

It was too ruthless! Completely heartless and incredibly bold! Huang Lianhai couldn’t help but be astounded.
