I really became a king.

Chapter 512 Thirty-six Guards

As if he had figured something out, Sun Miao did not put forward any conditions and answered directly: "In the hands of the Ninth Young Master Tuoba Liu."

Tuoba Liu? How could Tuoba Xingye give such an important thing to Tuoba Liu?

If what Sun Miao said was correct, the Ninth Prince Tuoba Liu was not Tuoba Xingye's bloodline, but a secret illegitimate son born to Tuoba Xingye's concubine Sun Liu who had cholera.

Sun Miao continued, "Tuoba Xingye did not know Tuoba Liu's background before he died, and he always thought he was his biological son. Moreover, among the ten sons, he liked the ninth son the most, and he had been secretly training him as his successor.

After he had drawn up his will in advance, he handed it to him, which was actually paving the way for Tuoba Liu to ascend to the throne in advance."

Jiang Yi shook his head and didn't comment further.

It was really a bit dirty, because he suddenly remembered that Sun Liu entered the Tuoba Mansion as the wet nurse of the Tenth Young Master.

Before this, Tuoba Xingye had never seen him before, so why did the Ninth Young Master become her offspring?
As if he had sensed Jiang Yi's thoughts, Sun Miao smiled bitterly and said, "I only found out about the Ninth Young Master's identity two years ago.

She should have been planning to take over the Tuoba clan a long time ago, and I should be just a chess piece to her." He looked a little sad.

Lü Buwei of this era? He had great ambitions, but he just didn't have the destiny.

"Ninth Young Master Tuoba Liu, if I remember correctly, should be one of the three major separatist forces of the Xingyue Tribe?" The information that Jiang Yi obtained from the Pacification Bureau included information about the Ninth Young Master Tuoba Liu.

“Master Jiang is right. After Tuoba Xingye’s death, after a struggle, the Tenth Prince Tuoba Yu, with the support of the foreign races, occupied the Xingyue Giant City.

The eldest son Tuoba Hong occupied another large city-state, Dongyue City, and the ninth son Tuoba Liu occupied Xihai City.

As for the other princes, some are living abroad, such as the third prince, and some occupy a small city-state, but they are basically attached to these three city-states. "

"Do you have a way to get the will?" Jiang Yi asked.

Sun Miao bowed and said, "Don't worry, Lord Jiang, I have a way to make Tuoba Liu hand over the will! After all, because of his age, no one in the outside world doubts his identity. I'm afraid even he himself doesn't know..."

"I just ask Lord Jiang not to interfere in this matter and let me handle it. Once I get the will, it will depend on Lord Jiang's own methods. The thirty-six imperial guards are not so easy to subdue."

Jiang Yi nodded. Over the past two years, the Pacification Division has been secretly collecting all the information about the Xingyue Tribe, and the Thirty-Six Imperial Guards are the top priority.

Ever since Tuoba Xingye's sudden death and the split of the Xingyue tribe, the thirty-six imperial guards directly under Tuoba Xingye have been staying outside the three major separatist forces.

They refused to obey orders or announcements and have been stationed at the northernmost tip of the Star-Moon Tribe, close to the Dark Canyon, for more than two years.

It’s not that they have any ulterior motives, they are just following the orders of Tuoba Xingye, the former Lord of Stars and Moon: the Thirty-Six Guards will not obey anyone’s orders unless they hold Tuoba Xingye’s handwritten orders.

With the Dark Canyon as its backside and the Star-Moon Tribe’s largest granary at its disposal, it is completely self-sufficient and not subject to any external constraints.

But again, self-sufficiency alone is not enough for independent expansion.

And until now, their military pay and other daily necessities have been provided by several major separatist forces of the Tuoba tribe.

This was the rule set by Tuoba Xingye before his death. The thirty-six imperial guards were supported by the Xingyue tribe and their brother city-states.

Tuoba Xingye died, but the rule continued.

Each separatist force here has its own selfish motives, and hopes to take the opportunity to improve their relationship with the Thirty-Six Imperial Guards.

Because they all knew that whoever gained the loyalty of the thirty-six guards would become the new master of Star-Moon. It was even possible to take back the Star-Moon City from the foreign races in one fell swoop!
Even the tenth prince Tuoba Yu, who had defected to the foreign tribes, had the same idea, wanting to get rid of the foreign tribes as soon as possible and become the true master of the stars and the moon.

Unfortunately, in the past two years, the Thirty-Six Imperial Guards have remained unmoved.

"The thirty-six guards of the Star-Moon Tribe are self-sufficient in basic survival supplies, and they have always been exclusive. I'm afraid they will be difficult to subdue."

Hou Kui was born in the Xingyue tribe, so he knew relatively more and spoke up.

Ghost Lord Fang Yue shook his head and said, "That may not be the case. After all, this is not Tuoba Xingye's era anymore. The 36 Imperial Guards are not having an easy time. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for much longer."

Sun Miao looked up at Fang Yue and realized that he had underestimated the intelligence capabilities of the Taimang tribe.

Tai Mang was obviously well aware of the current situation of the Thirty-Six Imperial Guards.

The map of Yinshan Realm appeared in his mind again. Jiang Yi took a look at the camp of the thirty-six imperial guards and had a plan in mind, but the prerequisite was to get Tuoba Xingye's will.

"Is there anything else you need Taimang's support for?" With a thought, Jiang Yi put away the map in his mind and looked at Sun Miao.

"No more, Lord Jiang, just wait for good news." Sun Miao seemed very confident.

Jiang Yi nodded, and thinking about the plan for the next period of time, he asked, "How long will it take?"

Sun Miao frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Jiang Yi and replied carefully: "This matter must be handled carefully, it will take at least three or four months..."

Seeing that there was no expression on Jiang Yi's face, he thought it was too long, so he gritted his teeth and was about to ask for a shorter time, but was interrupted by Jiang Yi raising his hand:

“If three or four months is not enough, we can extend it for a while longer.”

It’s not that he is not in a hurry, but he has to prepare for the emergence of the ancient ruins of Zhuliu City. It is best to put the matter of the Star Moon Tribe aside for now.

"Don't worry, Lord Jiang. I will get the will as soon as possible." Sun Miao thought Jiang Yi was speaking in a sarcastic way.

Jiang Yi didn't explain much, just smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for good news!"

Then he added: "Don't worry, I will give you a chance to kill Tuoba Yu!"

Sun Miao was shocked. Although it was just a light sentence, it made her feel relieved.

After Sun Miao left, Jiang Yi sat there and thought for a while, then said, "Send someone to investigate. I want all the information that can be collected about Sun Miao!"

"Also, go and check on the matter regarding Tuoba Liu and the will, but don't interfere. Leave it to Sun Miao to handle."

"Regarding the 36 Imperial Guards, since we can't infiltrate them, we can send people from the Taimang tribe to contact the generals in private so that they can be mentally prepared earlier."

"Yes." Fang Yue, Fan Huai and the other three responded in agreement.

"Open the teleportation array between Taimang headquarters and Zhuliu City. As for the transmission arrays to other human city-states, we will discuss them after I come out of seclusion..."

After another round of confrontation, Jiang Yi waved his hand and asked the three to retreat, while he returned to Luofu Cave Heaven.
