"I don't understand what you mean by that," Ye Feng forced a smile, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, his tightly clenched hands already soaked. He realized that trying to deceive this Divine Sect was incredibly difficult!
However, the connections here were too deep. The grievances between the Ethereal Clan and Alfalfa Princess had spanned generations, and his unexpected role as the son-in-law of the Ethereal Clan had come too swiftly. Even if he wanted to explain, it would take time to clarify everything!
Huang Tian observed Ye Feng's expression and calmly replied, "To assassinate a princess of an empire, especially one as renowned as Heavenly Abyss Clover, is an act that defies the heavens. Even I never considered such a thing before. As someone from the Sky Abyss Empire, I believe you should be well aware of the power held by this Alfalfa Princess!"
Ye Feng was initially unclear about this, but after hints from the Ethereal Clan and Flying Spirit Lion, he became all too familiar with the situation. Generally speaking, in the past, he wouldn't have dared to even think about it. But now, he found himself in a precarious position! It was either Alfalfa or him!
Realizing this, Ye Feng's expression turned resolute as he said fearlessly, "It is precisely because I understand that I know if you want safety, you must kill her. Otherwise, as her power grows, the threat to you will become more severe. Showing her mercy is cruelty to yourself!"
"Perhaps at this very moment, she is already preparing to strike against you while you remain unaware and skeptical of my information. This outcome is not something I wish to see. Even for my own safety, I want her dead!"
His words were sincere. Huang Tian fell silent upon hearing this; he wasn't oblivious to the stakes involved. Having had goods intercepted midway and with Xie Tianyu's inquiries, he had vaguely guessed at Alfalfa Princess's unsavory role in this incident.
Thus, during this trip to the Sky Abyss Empire, his greatest concern was indeed Alfalfa. However, as a legendary prince, he had heard tales of Alfalfa Princess's terrifying influence—she could extend the Dark Exchange's reach across the entire Eastern Continent. She was no simple adversary.
If Alfalfa truly intended to kill him, Huang Tian could easily surmise that it was likely orchestrated by the prince supporting his brother from the Qin Empire! Therefore, he largely believed Ye Feng's information; it was just that Ye Feng's decisive demeanor made him somewhat suspicious!
It was understandable for him to want to eliminate Alfalfa, but what about Ye Feng? Was he really risking his life just to help him?
This was the only possibility Huang Tian could think of at present. From his inquiries with Xie Tianyu, he learned that Ye Feng and Alfalfa had no connection whatsoever. Thus, in the end, he chose to believe without doubt!
Little did this prince know that when Xie Tianyu returned from Ning Cang City, it coincided with Ye Feng reaching an agreement with the Ethereal Clan—two events that passed each other by without either party knowing!
This near miss led to the current stalemate between them...
Huang Tian gritted his teeth and suddenly spoke up: "Everyone come in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone outside entered quietly—Xie Tianyu, Lian'er, Middle-aged Strategist, and four guards returned to their original positions. However, compared to before, their expressions were grim as if they already knew their master's decision!
In fact, both of them spoke quite loudly, and anyone outside could hear them clearly as long as they were martial artists! Moreover, Ye Feng did not intentionally try to keep it from being heard, so when these people entered the room, they looked at him with unusually strange expressions!
This was probably because they did not expect that Ye Feng would be willing to kill the formidable princess of their own country for their sake! Such a sacrifice was a bit excessive!
At this moment, Huang Tian spoke again: "I believe you all heard it. The news from Leaf Young Friend is crucial for us. Now, I need you to help me think about what we should do."
The dilemma was thrown to the subordinates, and Xie Tianyu, who usually talked the most, fell silent. Lian'er was even more at a loss, only the Middle-aged Strategist took over the conversation and said: "My lord, this matter is too risky. Everyone understands that princess is not someone an ordinary person can provoke. Even we must think twice before trying to confront her!"
"I understand that, but you also heard Leaf Young Friend's words. If she wants us dead and we are on her territory, how much chance do we have to avoid that? You should know that I cannot leave voluntarily!" Huang Tian said expressionlessly.
Upon hearing this, the Middle-aged Strategist's expression grew even graver. He had known long ago that his master would say this, but for his master's safety, he still had to oppose it. However, now his master's intention was clear, and he could only let out a deep sigh before shifting his gaze to Ye Feng.
"My friend, I hope you understand that this is no joke. Can you guarantee that your information is absolutely true?"
Ye Feng listened and still showed no hesitation, nodding heavily. Although he did not speak, everyone could see the most genuine answer from his serious expression!
Seeing this, the Middle-aged Strategist slowly lowered his head and began to pace back and forth in the room like he was contemplating something.
No one interrupted him; even Huang Tian remained silent while the strategist pondered. After about half an incense stick's worth of time, the oppressive atmosphere in the room intensified until the strategist finally stopped walking, raised his head, and revealed a glimmer of sharpness in his eyes!
"Then let's kill! As long as my lord gives the order, I will do my utmost to come up with a foolproof plan!"
"Good! That's exactly what I was waiting for! Yuxiu, you are skilled in planning; what do you think our chances are?" Huang Tian said decisively. At this moment, Ye Feng realized that this Middle-aged Strategist had such an elegant name!
However, the meaning behind the name Yuxiu was far from simple!
He had once been hailed as the smartest strategist of the Qin Yuan Empire and was also Huang Tian's most capable assistant. His suggestions often determined their fate!
"Overall, we have no chance!" Yuxiu seemed to return to the battlefield, frowning deeply as he began to think. His opening statement sent a chill down everyone's spine!
However, Huang Tian showed no change in expression and simply said in a low voice, "Continue!" It seemed he was already accustomed to this guy's opening remarks. What truly mattered was what came next!
Sure enough! After issuing a statement, Yuxiu relaxed his brow and said, "However, as long as everything is calculated carefully, there will always be a turning point. In the art of strategy, this is referred to as a joke played by the gods. It may seem like we are doomed against Alfalfa, but everyone has weaknesses. What we need to do is find her weakness!"
"Easier said than done! Last time I infiltrated Ning Cang City, I intended to investigate the Alfalfa Princess, but when I saw Your Highness Yu's setup, I knew there was no chance!" Xie Tianyu finally spoke up!
He had been waiting for an opportunity to speak, and suddenly bringing this up was because he had encountered difficulties outside the Princess Mansion that day!
Huang Tian listened and calmly replied, "Let Yuxiu finish speaking; don't rush!"
With the master speaking, Xie Tianyu fell silent, his face showing difficulty. It seemed this matter was indeed too challenging for them!
Ye Feng had been observing everyone's expressions and noticed that, aside from the four mysterious guards, almost everyone had different reactions. Lian'er slightly lowered her eyelids, her eyes swirling as if considering some possibilities. Xie Tianyu was overly restless, while the strategist remained composed. Huang Tian exuded strong cohesion and authority!
This team looked quite promising; if they truly supported Ye Feng wholeheartedly, there might be a chance to eliminate Alfalfa!
At that moment, Yuxiu the Strategist continued explaining, "If you insist on getting stuck on the hardest point and trying to break through there, it’s naturally impossible. Since that is her palace, it must be heavily guarded. If that place won't work, we'll change our approach; finding her weakness means starting from her weak points!"
"Well said!" Huang Tian appropriately praised.
Xie Tianyu still grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Weakness? You still need to find it!"
Lian'er tugged at him, signaling him to speak less! Huang Tian smiled and didn’t mind; instead, he turned his gaze toward Ye Feng, who had been silent.
"My young friend! Do you have any opinions?" After all, it was Ye Feng who brought the news and gave Huang Tian the resolve to take down Alfalfa; it would be unreasonable not to ask him!
Ye Feng listened, but he didn't rush to answer. He also didn't know the weakness of Alfalfa! but! He has an insider beside the princess! That internal agent was installed by EtherealClan! Even if he doesn't know who it is, it must be useful! Thinking of this, Ye Feng coughed a few times and said: "Actually, you don't need to worry about this. As long as you are a human being, you will have weaknesses. Although I don't know it, if you look for it, you will definitely be able to find it. I don't think we can It’s time to dwell on one point, as the military counselor said, if the palace is not good, then find another starting point!” After saying this, Yuxiu took the words and said immediately: “That’s right, Leaf Young Friend means the same thing! I am the same, I think, this Alfalfa Princess can never stay in her palace 24 hours a day, she also has to go out, and as long as she goes out, we will have the opportunity to follow her and know her whereabouts Once you understand your work and rest habits, you can also know when to make the best move!" Huang Tian listened and asked Xie Tianyu: "I'll leave this to you, okay?" With a starting point, Xie Tianyu also patted his chest and said: "Put it on me!" Huang Tian nodded, but this was just the beginning! Yuxiu the Strategist spoke again: "After grasping her basic movements, our biggest problem is that we don't know how many expert guards she has around her. The biggest problem in assassinating Alfalfa is exactly this, and this is not You can't get it just by following her!" "Why do you say that?" Xie Tianyu wondered. According to his understanding, as long as he follows her anytime and anywhere, can't he know how many people are around Alfalfa? “Real masters are invisible. In other words, he cannot be seen by you so easily. Therefore, while tracking Alfalfa, you must also avoid being tracked and counter-tracked by his secret guards. Wait for the opportunity to act again!" Yuxiu said! Xie TianyuI understand, but he has a headache. He is good at investigating a person, but it is actually fundamentally different from stalking! At this time, Lian'er suddenly said: "I think I can also help with tracking. There doesn't have to be only one tracker. Once the senior brother is discovered, I will be the substitute, which is a guarantee!"
