Eastern: I love doing good things-Chapter 188 : A great war is about to begin

If you agree, then just follow Fang Yuan's advice and stay away. If you oppose, you can step forward and say, "I oppose," but, of course, the consequences would depend entirely on Lord Fang's mood.

But to go against Fang Yuan, who had been serving the Yan Kingdom tirelessly and diligently, just to protect the current, corrupt emperor? And to risk their lives in doing so?

There was no need to think too much!

As Jiang Tao spoke, the other generals quickly realized and cupped their fists, saying, "Lord Fang, we understand, please take care!"

If they had to choose between Emperor Yanwen and Fang Yuan, without a doubt, they would choose Fang Yuan!

Zhong Chunhua, the only female general present, spoke hoarsely: "Lord Fang... Do you need my assistance?"

The other generals turned their surprised gazes toward this lone female general. Indeed, in the shock of Fang Yuan's decision, they had forgotten there was another option:

That was to follow Lord Fang... and commit regicide!

As soon as this thought crossed their minds, their eyes began to gleam with excitement. The Yan Kingdom was already a mess, and with Fang Yuan leading the way, why not go all out and rebel, fighting for a better future for the country?

In this way, they could at least claim credit for assisting the future ruler!

However, before any other general could speak, Fang Yuan waved his hand: "No need. You should focus on protecting the citizens of the capital first."

The old emperor was not so easy to kill. If it came down to a real battle, it would be like gods fighting, and ordinary people would suffer—perhaps even the entire capital would be destroyed!

Initially, when Fang Yuan learned from Chongwu Hou about the breach in the northern borders, his plan was to first deal with the invaders from the Ice Plains and then deal with Emperor Yanwen.

However, upon realizing that the vast storm clouds covering most of the Yan Kingdom weren't from invaders but from the imperial palace itself, he immediately changed his plans.

As he had suspected, Emperor Yanwen was clearly preparing something big!

Although Fang Yuan didn't know exactly what the emperor was planning, the overwhelming scale of it meant that if the emperor succeeded, it would be far more difficult to resolve the situation afterward!

"Yes, we will not let you down, Lord Fang!" Zhong Chunhua and the other generals immediately responded, then turned their gaze to the only person who hadn't expressed an opinion yet.

The Southern Town Suppressor: Ji Tianqi.

At this moment, Ji Tianqi looked extremely conflicted. To be honest, hearing Fang Yuan openly plot the assassination of his own father in front of him was rather difficult to process.

But when it came to regicide, given his father's extreme incompetence and Fang Yuan's actions, he found it hard to oppose.

His father was simply too inept, and Fang Yuan's actions were, in fact, something to admire...

After some internal struggle, Ji Tianqi sighed. Oh well, he was just a mere martial artist at the Fourth Realm. What was the point of thinking too much? Even if he wanted to oppose, he had no strength to do so.

Let fate decide.

With this thought, Ji Tianqi cupped his fists toward Fang Yuan: "Lord Fang, I... have no objections. However, the city's ancient protective barrier is still in place. How do you plan to enter the palace?"

Fang Yuan looked at him strangely, then suddenly shot up into the sky. As he looked at the dense clouds in front of him, he extended his right hand and lightly tore at them.

The sound of lightning seemed to split the air as the thick clouds, which had seemed so impenetrable, were torn apart in less than half a second!

The white mist scattered, turning into a raging wind that spread out, revealing the majestic imperial palace beneath!

"Isn't this good enough?" Fang Yuan replied to Ji Tianqi's question at last.

The generals stood in stunned silence. The ancient protective barrier that had been maintained for over a thousand years... was so easily torn apart by Lord Fang? They could barely process what had just happened.

"Generals, prepare to protect the capital," Fang Yuan said the final words, his killing intent rising, almost tangible. He then turned into a streak of light and dashed into the imperial palace.

As Fang Yuan began his mission, Jiang Tao immediately looked at his fellow generals:

"Everyone, time is of the essence. Let's quickly spread out and surround the imperial palace. We must suppress all movements within the palace!"

"Understood!" the generals nodded, immediately springing into action. They were all seasoned fighters with vast battle experience, knowing exactly what to do without further orders.

...

At the same time, in the deepest part of the imperial palace, in the dark, vast underground chamber, a huge mouth yawned open, resembling a monstrous beast waiting to devour.

Standing beside the pit were two figures—one was a stooped old eunuch, and the other was a general dressed in armor.

The old eunuch was Liu Dong, a trusted confidant of the late Emperor Yan, and the general was Yan Shouzheng, the Suppressor of the Northern Town.

It was clear that another master-level figure was present.

As a top spy for Emperor Yan, Liu Dong had lived for over a thousand years in secrecy. He had rarely appeared in public, becoming a shadow who worked in the background for the late emperor.

Even government officials were unaware that Yan Kingdom had such a figure—one of the most powerful warriors in the realm.

The dirty work of Emperor Yan had always been handled by Liu Dong and his North Town Suppressors.

Including killing a prince who had successfully transformed into a dragon, and distributing his flesh to neighboring countries, and even overseas—bringing them all to Yan Kingdom.

This was done both to drain the national fortune and to provide a "feast" for the emperor when he became the true dragon.

But with Fang Yuan's emergence, these plans had been forced to accelerate.
