C2702 Who Is It?
"Remember, you must succeed. If you fail this time... He will definitely be vigilant. It will be difficult for us to succeed again. " Fourth Prince reminded, "The same goes for the army of Yuan Feng Country outside the city. If we delay any longer... They may retreat at any time. Once they leave... My role as the commander will also be gone. They will definitely be evacuated by father. Therefore... He must take the initiative to attack and defeat them before they leave."
Fourth Prince knew very well why he was able to command so many troops. Once the people of Yuan Feng Country gave up on attacking the city, if he retreated, his authority would be taken away by Old Emperor. And that was obviously not what Fourth Prince wanted to see. Therefore... He was not willing to see the army of Yuan Feng Country retreat just like that. They had to fight. And because of this, he had to do it before the army of Yuan Feng Country retreated. He had to take the initiative to fight once outside the city.
Because of the analysis of the advisor, Fourth Prince had now completely believed that the army of Yuan Feng Country outside the city had not made any moves until now because they did not have confidence in sieging the city.
"Your Highness, rest assured. I will not fail this operation." The advisor promised that his future would be in Fourth Prince's hands. Naturally, he did not wish to see anything unexpected happen to Fourth Prince.
"Ok, that's enough. You go and prepare." Fourth Prince nodded and said.
On the other side, General Yan was indeed prepared to go home tonight to see his wife and son. His wife and children were all in the city, and this place wasn't very far from his home. He had been stationed here for some time now, and he was starting to miss home. He missed his wife and children at home, so he wanted to go back and take a look.
However, he also knew that Fourth Prince must be keeping an eye on him. Once he left the camp, Fourth Prince might seize the opportunity. If that happened, he might be in danger.
Therefore, this General Yan planned to secretly return at night. Furthermore, his whereabouts were only known by a few close guards. This way, he would not have to worry about his own safety.
However, he clearly did not expect that Fourth Prince would do this to get rid of him. He had already made up his mind and paid a huge price. He bribed one of his personal guards so that his whereabouts could be traced. If he did not leave the camp... That would be fine. As long as he left the camp... Fourth Prince's side would know and react at the first possible moment.
It was precisely because he did not know that his personal guards had been bribed that General Yan was concerned about returning home at night. He was not worried at all. He was even looking forward to it. After returning home... Perhaps he could pay a visit to the Tenth Prince at the same time. After all... He had already decided to seek refuge with the Tenth Prince, so he naturally had to maintain his presence in front of him. He wanted to increase the relationship between the two of them.
The sky gradually darkened. After General Yan put on a disguise, he left the camp. On the other side, the aide of Fourth Prince. He also knew General Yan's movements at the first possible moment, and led his men to set up an ambush on the road that General Yan had to pass.
However, no one had noticed that a figure had descended from the sky and landed in the city. The person who had quietly entered the city was Huang Feng.
Huang Feng had been waiting outside the city all this time, hoping that the princes of the Fengjue Country would come. There were some conflicts between them, and if that happened, the Fengjue Country would fall into chaos. At that time, it would be much easier for him to conquer the city. The losses would also be very low.
However, after waiting for a few days, the atmosphere in the city was indeed as he had expected. It was a little chaotic, but the princes did not start fighting directly. They were fighting in secret and did not put the fight on the table.
This was obviously not the result Huang Feng wanted to see. One should know that... This time, he had brought more than 200,000 troops to attack the Fengjue Country. Currently, those troops were stationed outside the city. A large amount of grain was consumed every day, even if Huang Feng was not a person who lacked money. But it doesn't last long, either. Hence, the earlier this war ended, the better.
Because of this, Huang Feng chose to enter the city directly. He wanted to do something in secret to urge the internal strife in the Fengjue Country to arrive earlier.
Although the city walls weren't short, they were useless to Huang Feng. He could easily enter the city if he wanted to.
"Perhaps, I should kill their Emperor. If that's the case, they will surely fall into internal strife." Huang Feng stood in the city and thought as he looked at the imperial palace not far away.
This was indeed a solution. Huang Feng didn't make a move just now. He only had some concerns about the fact that Old Emperor was protected by an expert. At the same time, he didn't want the Fengjue Country to start fighting so early. After all, at that time, they hadn't developed and grown strong, nor had they unified the other countries outside of the pass. If the Fengjue Country had been thrown into chaos long ago... To them... It wouldn't do them any good.
However, things were different now. Their Yuan Feng Country had already been unified. The internal conflicts had already been resolved. More than two hundred thousand soldiers had come to this place. There was no need for Old Emperor to exist in the Fengjue Country anymore. The Yuan Feng Country had already made the necessary preparations to take over this place.
Therefore, killing Old Emperor was a good idea for the current situation. Of course, Huang Feng wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to do it. Putting aside the fact that Old Emperor had never thought that someone would assassinate him at this time. Even if he did, he reckoned that he wouldn't be able to stop Huang Feng. Huang Feng didn't think that in this low cultivation world, someone's gonna be his opponent.
"Who is it?!"
Just as Huang Feng was thinking about whether he should make a trip to the Imperial Palace right now, a loud shout came from not far away from him.
Huang Feng's expression tensed up. He thought that he had been discovered by someone. He secretly thought that the strength of the Fengjue Country's guards was not bad. He had just entered the city, but he had already been discovered.
However, soon, a loud shout and intense sounds of fighting could be heard in front of him. Only now did Huang Feng realize that he had made a mistake. The words of the opposite party weren't directed at him. It was directed at the others. He had not been discovered by the soldiers of the Fengjue Country.
Huang Feng walked forward and saw the situation in front of him. Not far in front of him, there were two groups of people fighting fiercely. Both sides seemed to be fighting with their lives on the line, wanting to kill each other.
