HCB Chapter 3, 4 Great Generals
Chapter 3, 4 Great Generals
"Your Majesty."
They refused entry to the Prince Wu's Mansion in Beicheng.
Qin Wu stood amidst a pile of corpses, his brocade robe stained crimson with blood.
Blood was still dripping from the longsword in his hand.
Qin Wu took out an embroidered handkerchief and wiped the blood from his face.
"My dear brothers, I'm just going back to the capital, and they can't help themselves again."
Qin Wu casually tossed the embroidered handkerchief on the ground, a crazy smile spreading across his face.
Without even thinking, he knew who had sent these assassins.
Those who want him dead are the only ones.
"Your Highness, aren't they being too hasty?"
The young man standing next to Qin Wu said with a grim expression.
They had barely received the news from the capital when the assassins arrived.
Are you in a hurry?
Qin Wu simply muttered something to himself.
Were his brothers impatient?
"Have these assassins' corpses hung on the city walls! Anyone who dares to assassinate me will never find peace in their grave."
After Qin Wu finished speaking, he walked into his room without looking back.
Before long, the servants brought in the water for washing.
After washing up, Qin Wu went to the study.
At this moment, his four generals were already waiting in the study.
"So, any news from the capital?"
Qin Wu sat down in the main seat.
"After learning that the prince was going to return to the capital, various forces in the capital took action."
"However, the vast majority of people do not want the prince to return to the capital."
"There are also rumors that His Majesty may decide on the crown prince during the birthday banquet."
The young man in the black brocade robe spoke calmly.
This man was Qi Ye, one of Qin Wu's four great generals, whose spear skills were superb.
He was known as the "King of Guns in the North".
"The Crown Prince? That old man's body can still live for at least another twenty or thirty years!"
"Will he really choose a crown prince at this time?"
Qin Wu sneered.
Others may not know, but he is very clear that His Majesty, the Emperor of Eastern Qin, possesses the cultivation level of a Grandmaster.
It's easy for a grandmaster to live to be a hundred years old.
With so many imperial physicians and top-quality medicines in the palace, his health is probably better than that of other grandmasters!
Would someone like that decide on a crown prince at this time?
What a joke.
Furthermore, the Emperor of Eastern Qin was a true emperor.
That person has complete control over power.
"Your Highness, what do you mean?"
Qi Ye asked.
He didn't quite understand Qin Wu's meaning. Although he had a guess in his mind, he wasn't sure.
The news has spread throughout the capital that the Emperor of Eastern Qin is going to appoint a crown prince.
"Didn't you already guess? Our Emperor is very good at hiding his true intentions."
“My brothers all want to compete for that position, but they overestimate themselves and underestimate our Emperor.”
Qin Wu toyed with the teacup in his hand.
It was as if they were handling a precious treasure.
"Your Highness, I'm not trying to be mean, but your brothers are far too arrogant. They dare to make moves without even investigating anything."
"I really don't know what's going on in their heads."
A mocking glint flashed in the eyes of the young man, dressed in a white robe and with a cold expression.
This man is Liu Qiu, one of Qin Wu's four great generals, the Asura General. Despite his white robes, they are always stained with blood after each battle.
No one under his command ever managed to leave with a complete corpse.
On the battlefield, they are like demons from hell.
He thus earned the title of Asura General.
He was also the one with the highest cultivation level among the four.
"Your Highness, when do we plan to return to the capital?"
The young man in the light blue brocade robe asked a question.
This person is Han Fu, the Swift Wind Blade King, one of Qin Wu's four great generals.
His swift blade strikes fear into the hearts of his enemies.
"Let's set off tomorrow! There are less than two months until the birthday banquet, and we have a lot of things to bring this time, so we're afraid it will take a lot of time on the road."
Qin Wu said calmly.
This time, he also had to bring gifts to present to the Emperor of Eastern Qin as a birthday present.
A large-scale military operation can never compare to a swift horse-drawn carriage.
Moreover, the journey will likely not be peaceful.
"Your Highness, isn't this too hasty? Shouldn't we make some more preparations?"
The young man in the flashy purple robe said with some concern.
This is Fu Hua, the last of Qin Wu's four great generals and a demon general. His whip technique is so tight and impenetrable.
The key point is that this guy's methods are simply ruthless and vicious; there isn't a single intact man under his control.
Many of the eunuchs in the northern barbarians today are products of his handiwork.
He was privately jokingly called the "castrated general".
"I have been preparing for ten years, that is enough."
"By the way, Fu Hua, you should leave early tomorrow morning to return to the capital and make some arrangements."
"We should return the favor to the assassins tonight, or they'll really think I'm easy to bully."
Qin Wu refused outright.
He has been preparing for long enough, so a little more preparation won't make a difference.
"Your Highness, perhaps this humble general should go instead!"
No sooner had Qin Wu finished speaking than Liu Qiu spoke up.
He considered himself the most professional of the four when it came to murder.
"You're going? Liu Qiu, are you planning to slaughter the palaces of several princes?"
Fu Hua immediately objected.
What a joke! If this person were to go, the entire capital would probably be thrown into chaos.
Once he takes action, there's truly no turning back.
It's hard to say how many of the princes will survive.
"Liu Qiu, you stay and return to the capital with me. Fu Hua can handle this matter."
Qin Wu couldn't help but let out a wry smile.
Liu Qiu is good in every way, except that he is too bloodthirsty. Sometimes he feels that Liu Qiu is more like someone who came from the apocalypse than he is.
He was insane on the battlefield, but Liu Qiu was even more insane.
Therefore, Liu Qiu absolutely cannot be allowed to go on this mission.
"Yes."
Liu Qiu didn't say much.
To him, Qin Wu's orders were like imperial edicts.
If Qin Wu hadn't discovered him, he would probably be dead in the death row camp by now.
For him, Qin Wu was not only his benefactor, but also his teacher.
"Go back and rest!"
After Qin Wu finished making the arrangements, he told the group to go and rest.
After a long night of intense work, everyone is exhausted.
After bowing to Qin Wu, the four men quietly left the study.
"master."
After the group left, a man dressed in a black martial arts robe and wearing a mask appeared in the study.
"How's the investigation I asked you to do going?"
Qin Wu asked casually.
"My lord, we have found out that there are many assassins waiting on the way back to the capital, including three grandmasters from the three royal mansions of the Prince of Zhou, the Prince of Qi, and the Prince of Wei."
The guards reported.
"Three Grandmasters, you really think highly of me!"
"I understand. Continue to have people keep an eye on things. You may leave now!"
Having obtained the information he wanted, Qin Wu said no more.
This time they actually sent three grandmasters, so these three grandmasters won't be able to leave alive.
This also lets the world know that his title of King Wu was not given lightly.
