Chapter 1057

And this news must be conveyed to the Great Qin side in a subtle manner.

This...

It's just too damn perfect!

Master Bianji just happened to be courting death by harboring such thoughts.

If he followed him to open up the smuggling route, he only needed to leak a little information, and the matter would be accomplished.

However, what puzzled Pei Ji was why the Emperor suddenly wanted to move against Master Bianji.

Wasn't Master Bianji working for the Great Tang?

Soon, he realized that Master Bianji must have been leaning more toward the aristocratic families.

By doing this, the Emperor was intending to go to war with the aristocratic families!

Fortunately, although their Pei family was also a large clan, they had not gotten too close to those aristocratic families.

In this internal struggle within the Great Tang, the Pei family had the power to choose which side to stand on.

Of course, Pei Ji had to choose the Great Tang imperial court.

As things stood, the Great Tang imperial court possessed a greater advantage.

The most critical point was that the relationship between the imperial court and Great Qin was one of both opposition and cooperation.

But the aristocratic families had become mortal enemies with Great Qin.

Naturally, Pei Ji had to consider the attitude of the Great Qin side.

To be enemies with Great Qin?

What a joke!

Pei Ji had already suffered at the hands of Great Qin twice, and he was deeply terrified!

Therefore, without even needing to think, he would absolutely not stand on the side of the aristocratic families.

Then the answer was very simple.

Follow Master Bianji and the others to Yizhou, then find an opportunity along the way to sell out these two foolish teammates.

This would both complete the task assigned by the Emperor and avoid offending Great Qin.

The best of both worlds!

With such thoughts in mind, Pei Ji set off with Master Bianji and Wang Jing.

Before leaving, he even selected a leader from among the Indians.

He left the heavy responsibility of leading the Indians in rebellion for the Indians themselves to complete.

Then, he happily abandoned these Indians and went to Yizhou himself.

Along the way, the three of them each had their own concerns.

The imperial court and the aristocratic families had begun to show signs of a rift, and both sides were very powerful.

Under such immense tension, it would be very easy for the Great Tang to be torn in two.

Being caught in the middle, one could be crushed to pieces at the slightest carelessness.

Pei Ji was different from the two of them.

He was already considering whether he should pre-arrange a way out for himself in Great Qin.

This was the perfect opportunity.

Selling out Master Bianji and Wang Jing would serve as his pledge of allegiance.

If he could enjoy the protection of Great Qin, the future would certainly be the safest.

It was just that Great Qin could not tolerate aristocratic families, and it was hard to guarantee the Pei family wouldn't be liquidated like the Wang family.

Or perhaps keep a distance, and try to please both sides?

Pei Ji's thoughts were now entirely focused on how to arrange a way out for his own family.

He knew that his choice at this moment would determine the future fate of the Great Tang!
