as the time approached, the huo familyâs troops had already hidden themselves in various places nearby, ready to attack.
There were many of them, and they were all elite troops.
They hid themselves well, waiting for the next order.
Once the battle started, they would definitely rush into the battlefield at the fastest speed possible!
The sky turned from dark to bright, and then from bright to dark.
the empireâs high-level meeting was also in a frenzied state.
everyone was unable to reach a consensus. they all had their own opinions and factions. the meeting was a mess, and no one was willing to give in!
At this moment, a man jumped out.
âeveryone, listen to me first,â he calmly waved his hand and said.
a well-arranged form appeared on the projection.
âThis is the number of âmercenariesâ that the Huo group has been training over the years. on the paper was the huo groupâs development speed and future trends over the years. On it was the wealth of the Huo group. Please take a look.â
the crowd gradually quieted down.
The man flipped to the next page, â this is a comparison of all the data of the Huo group and the internal situation of the Empire.
everyone looked at the table of data.
the truth was very obvious.
âthe huo groupâs combined strength is comparable to the entire empire! Especially in terms of wealth!â The man took a deep breath and analyzed, â âOnce they continue to develop and their wealth surpasses ours, it will be a very terrifying phenomenon! Theyâre willing to discuss it now, but if we give in this time, wonât they push us even closer?â
the conference room was silent at first, then it was an uproar!
âvery reasonable!â
â once they think that the empireâs strength is only so-so and get closer, it will definitely cause us great losses! â
âThe Empireâs wealth should not be in their hands!â
everyone agreed.
however, another group of people was not convinced. one of the people who had a good relationship with the huo family was even furious.
âthe huo family has contributed a lot to the empire! What did the ancestors of the Huo family do for the Empire? even if we donât think further, old master huo, who is still alive, has already contributed a lot to the empire!â
âIt is! isnât such a guess burning the bridge after crossing the river?â
âbesides, the huo family has never been disloyal to the empire, so how could it be possible now?â
âIf they were really cunning, they wouldnât have given us time to prepare and think! they clearly wanted to call for peace! If you continue to guess like this, weâll think that thereâs a problem with you!â
âPreviously, the Empireâs Treasury was empty. The Huo family used half of their assets to help us tide over the deficit! Could it be that everyone has already forgotten about it?â
such sounds were endless.
And in this environment, there was always one person who was observing everyone.
he was quiet and did not say a word.
he sat there as if he was on the outside, but in fact, he was the calmest and clearest bystander.
It was Mr. Qin.
He remembered all the people who spoke up for the Huo family sincerely.
furthermore, they had also selected those who had no connections with the huo family.
in this way, they could temporarily lock in who was safe and could temporarily pull them in as allies.
Thatâs right, the old professor had called Mr. Qin at that time!
