Chapter 382: A Traitor

Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was uncertain why they thought Tan Tianxing would make a move at the emperor’s birthday banquet.

However, Tan Tianxing did have such thoughts.

Could it be that there was a special spy in Tan Tianxing’s Heavenly Dragon Army?

From his conversation with State Preceptor Zhang, Chu Bai learned that there was indeed a spy in the Heavenly Dragon Army.

However, even if Tan Tianxing had a good relationship with his comrades in the Heavenly Dragon Army, it was still impossible for him to completely believe the words of hundreds of thousands of people!

Therefore, Tan Tianxing would never have told everyone about his plan.

There was a possibility that their spy was someone Tan Tianxing trusted and had a high status in the Heavenly Dragon Army.

It was because of this that Tan Tianxing was able to discuss it with him.

However, it should be impossible for him to tell anyone about his plan with Tan Tianxing.

This was a little tricky.

If he wanted the Heavenly Dragon Army to break in more easily, he had to withdraw these soldiers who were on high alert.

“State Preceptor, I have an idea.”

Chu Bai said.

“Your Majesty, please speak.”

“State Preceptor, think about it. Everyone knows how many guards we usually have. This isn’t a secret. If we suddenly increase the defense on the day of my birthday banquet, won’t it make people suspicious?”

“Your Majesty, we’ve already spoken about this. It’s reasonable for us to station more people during your birthday banquet. The key is that we’re not sure if Tan Tianxing will make a move tomorrow.”

State Preceptor Zhang said.

Chu Bai didn’t dare to say something like ‘I know that’. What if State Preceptor Zhang was bluffing him?

Chu Bai then said, “But I don’t feel right making those guards work so guard during my birthday banquet. Although 1 don’t care, they’re still my strength. Only by making them more satisfied with me will they be more willing to work hard!”

“Your Majesty, 1 understand your considerations.”

Chu Bai then said, “Therefore, dismiss them. Tomorrow, Tan Xingxing will be at my birthday banquet. State Preceptor, do you think that Tan Tianxing will dare to make a move?”

State Preceptor Zhang’s eyes lit up.

“Your Majesty, you asked Tan Xingxing to come? Didn’t they say that Tan Xingxing was unwell and couldn’t attend your birthday banquet?”

Chu Bai roughly understood.

It was because of this they felt that Tan Tianxing was more likely to make a move.

“Yes, I went out today for this matter.”

“Alright then! If Tan Xingxing is attending, we don’t need to increase the number of guards. After all, Tan Xingxing will be in the main hall. She’s the biggest threat to Tan Tianxing. Tan Tianxing definitely won’t dare to act rashly!”

Chu Bai nodded. “Furthermore, 1’11 poison Tan Xingxing and put her life in my hands. This matter is almost certain.”

“That’s good!”

State Preceptor Zhang nodded.

“State Preceptor, go and arrange it!”

“Yes, I’ll take my leave.”

Then, State Preceptor Zhang left.

Chu Bai took a deep breath.

It was too difficult.

“I don’t know if anything has been exposed.”

Chu Bai sighed and took out his voice transmission talisman.

“Brother Bai Ye.”

Tan Tianxing’s voice came from the other end.

“General Tan, I have some news.”

Then, Chu Bai roughly told Tan Tianxing about the situation.

“Is there a traitor in the Heavenly Dragon Army?”

Tan Tianxing frowned.

To be honest, everyone was his comrade, and he trusted them all.

However, there were too many people. It was inevitable that a few of them would betray him for some special reasons.

Tan Tianxing could understand.

“Additionally, this traitor shouldn’t be simple. General Tan, regarding the news that you might attack the royal family of the Kamikaze Empire tomorrow, did you talk to someone about it?”

Tan Tianxing frowned. “Yes, they’re my two brothers. They’re also my right-hand men. I usually tell them about some important things. They’re also my sworn brothers. Why?”

“General Tan, the traitor of the Heavenly Dragon Army might be one of them.”

“What?!”

Chu Bai then said, “Because State Preceptor Zhang said that he wasn’t sure if you would attack tomorrow when we were chatting. It’s true that you weren’t sure about it before I made my decision. You only told those two brothers about this, right?”

Tan Tianxing was not a fool.

“I understand.”

He said in a deep voice.

To be honest, he could not accept such news.

“There’s one more thing. I need Xingxing to attend the birthday banquet tomorrow.”

Then, Chu Bai roughly explained the reason.

“If Xingxing’s participation in the birthday banquet can prevent the Imperial Palace from being heavily guarded, there won’t be a problem. However, Brother Bai Ye, I’m worried…”

Chu Bai said, “General Tan, I’ll tell Xingxing about this. There’s no need to worry at all. Besides, 1 can guarantee Xingxing’s safety. Even if we fail, 1 can guarantee her safety.”

“Good! 1 believe you!”

It was mainly because Chu Bai was good to Tan Tianxing. He really liked Chu Bai.

“I’ll also give Xingxing some means of self-protection.”

Tan Tianxing said.

As he could also give Tan Xingxing some life-saving methods, he was relatively assured to let her try.

The main reason was that Bai Ye was around. Otherwise, if it was really just the emperor of the Kamikaze Empire, Tan Xingxing would not dare to risk it even if he could give Tan Xingxing a life-saving method.

“Then I’ll leave the rest to General Tan. I’ll do what I can here.”

“Sure!”

Then, Chu Bai crushed the voice transmission talisman.

He took out the list of names State Preceptor Zhang had given him.

“State Preceptor Zhang is quite knowledgeable.”

Chu Bai looked at the name list and smiled.

Why did he say that?

There were more than a hundred factions on this list!

Including families, sects, and important individuals.

Among them, State Preceptor Zhang clearly marked where they would sit and which of them needed to be paid more attention.

“Now, 1 know who 1 don’t need to deal with and who 1 have to deal with.”

Chu Bai muttered to himself.

Soon, the sky turned dark.

Chu Bai couldn’t go offline.

He walked out of the study.

“Your Majesty.”

At the door, a beautiful palace maid was guarding there.

“Yes, help me back to rest.”

Chu Bai said indifferently.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Then, the palace maid helped Chu Bai to the emperor’s palace.

“Father! Greetings, Father!”

A man who looked to be in his early 20s stood guard there.

Damn it!

Who was this?

Which son of the emperor was he?

“Yes, what’s the matter?”

Chu Bai said indifferently.

“Father, it is not something particularly important. It’s just that… Mother isn’t feeling well today. I see that Mother misses you, so I want to invite you to Mother’s bedroom.”

After saying that, he knelt there.

“Father, please spare some time..”
