Gu Shanhai knew that the scholar mentioned it ahead of time to gain his trust and then by assassinating him, his entire state office would be headless. This would allow the Daoist Soldiers to take over smoothly.
From the other party's objective, what worried them was not how to capture the state office, but how to take over everything afterward.
Therefore, Gu Shanhai had to die.
"Mr. Gu, you asked us to..."
"Provide strategies for the Daoist Soldiers, then have all Daoist Soldiers draw bows and aim at the location..." Gu Shanhai interrupted a commander's confusion.
Seeing Gu Shanhai's solemn expression, the commander dared not question further, and this somewhat puzzling order was quickly passed down.
Everyone was very puzzled, as the location Gu Shanhai reported was empty, but out of respect for his status, they complied.
A volley of arrows soared, landing on the specified position.
"Raise shields!" a roar came from the supposedly empty area.
