Chapter 95: Changes in Tiandou Palace
Seeing Xue Ye still hesitating, Ge Long raised his head, looked at Xue Ye firmly, and continued.
"Prince, we are loyal to you and are willing to go through fire and water for you."
"Those three thousand elite soldiers and five thousand imperial guards are all well-trained elites. Although we don't know how many soul masters Xue Xing has won over, our army is not without a chance of winning."
"Besides, if we don't take a risk, your majesty's safety is unpredictable, and Tiandou City may fall into chaos."
"Please make a decision early, your majesty, and don't miss the opportunity!!"
Ge Long is an old minister. When he was young, he joined the Tiandou Empire and served the empire. Now that his majesty is in danger and the country is crumbling, he is extremely anxious.
If Xue Xing's romantic prince who only knows how to do superficial work becomes the emperor, the future of the Tiandou Empire will probably never be peaceful. There are also Xing Luo outside who are eyeing the situation covetously. He really doesn't want to see the Tiandou Empire fall into an irretrievable situation.
Suddenly, Ge Long seemed to have thought of something, and changed the subject, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
"Your Highness, don't forget that there are three more teaching committee members in the Tiandou Royal Academy. They are all Soul Saints above level 75."
"They have always been loyal to the royal family. If Your Highness goes to the academy in person and explains the current critical situation to them, I believe the three teaching committee members will definitely help."
"With the addition of the three Soul Saints, our army will be even more powerful and will definitely break through Xue Xing's obstruction."
"The truth will be revealed by then, which will be of great benefit to both Your Majesty's safety and the stability of Tiandou City."
"Your Highness, the opportunity is fleeting, and the decision should be made sooner rather than later!!"
Ge Long's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Xue Ye's heart.
Ge Long's words were like a ray of dawn in the darkness, which gave the anxious Xue Ye a direction.
"Okay, General Ge Long, follow me."
"Okay."
Ge Long nodded solemnly.
The two of them didn't have time to ask the servants to bring up the horses, they hurried to the stable and jumped on the horses.
"Hold!!"
With the crisp sound of the whip, the two horses rushed towards Tiandou Royal Academy like a gust of wind.
Along the way, Xue Ye was anxious and kept urging the horses to speed up, and soon arrived at the academy. The two of them turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly ran straight to the place where the three members of the Education Committee usually held meetings.
As soon as they entered the familiar courtyard, they saw Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin sitting together, talking about something.
The three of them saw Xue Ye and Ge Long rushing in with a serious look on their faces, and they were all surprised and puzzled. They hurriedly stood up to greet them and asked:
"Your Highness, General Ge Long, you are in such a hurry, what happened?"
Xue Ye did not bother to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and spoke in a hurry, telling them all about how he was stopped by the guards outside his father's bedroom, and how he suspected Xue Xing of colluding with the soul master forces and intending to forge an imperial edict to rebel.
After that, he knelt on the ground with a plop, clasped his fists and bowed earnestly, saying: "Three seniors, the Tiandou royal family is now in danger, and my father's life and death are uncertain. Xue Xing, the thief, is trying to usurp the throne and subvert the country."
"I beg the three seniors to come out and help. With your strong soul power, you will definitely be able to help me expose Xue Xing's treacherous conspiracy and save Tiandou City from the water and fire!!"
After saying that, Xue Ye looked at the three teaching committee members with burning eyes and full of expectation.
The three were startled by Xue Ye's sudden kneeling, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Xue Ye up.
Meng Shenji frowned and said seriously: "Your Highness, what are you doing? The safety of the Tiandou Imperial Family is also closely related to us. Xue Xing dared to do such a treasonous act, which is really intolerable!"
Bai Baoshan was also indignant, slamming the table angrily and saying loudly: "Your Highness, don't worry. We usually receive many favors from the royal family. Now that the royal family is in trouble, how can we sit idly by? We will definitely go with Your Highness to expose the conspiracy of Xue Xing, the despicable villain!"
Zhi Lin stroked his chin, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, "Yes, Xue Xing's move has already threatened the foundation of the Tiandou Empire. As the teaching committee members of the Tiandou Royal Academy, we should help the royal family solve their problems."
The three teaching committee members directly stated their positions.
After getting clear answers from the three, Xue Ye and Ge Long were overjoyed.
Xue Ye finally smiled and sat down with everyone to discuss the plan to break into the palace.
Ge Long took out a simple palace map from the soul guide, spread it on the table, pointed to the logo on it and said:
"Three members of the Education Committee, Your Highness the Crown Prince, in my opinion, although the palace guards are under the control of His Majesty on the surface, it seems that they have been controlled by Xue Xing. A head-on attack may cause unnecessary casualties."
Meng Shenji stroked his beard and nodded slightly in agreement, then said: "General, you are right. The power of soul masters cannot be underestimated. Since Xue Xing has done such a rebellious act, he must have won over a large number of soul masters. We need to avoid their edge and look for flaws."
Bai Baoshan stared at the map deeply and suggested: "Why don't we split our troops into two groups. I will lead part of the imperial guards in one group and attack from the main gate to attract their attention. The other group will have Your Highness the Crown Prince and General Ge Long, with the help of Meng Shenji and Zhi Lin, sneak in secretly and attack Huanglong directly."
Zhi Lin rubbed his chin and nodded slightly after thinking for a moment.
"This plan is feasible, but it requires time."
"The troops making the feint attack must grasp the rhythm well. They must not expose their true intentions too early, nor too late, which will cause the infiltrating troops to get into trouble."
"In addition, we also need to understand the distribution of the soul masters arranged by Xue Xing in the palace in advance, so that we can know ourselves and the enemy."
Xue Ye frowned slightly and said, "I have some guesses about the distribution of soul masters in the palace, but they are not accurate. It seems that we need to send someone to find out more."
"Also, we need to send someone to dispatch the 50,000 troops outside the city. As long as the army enters the city, the general trend will be clear, and everything will be solved."
With the help of the three education committee members, Xue Ye's anxiety was suppressed, and he regained his calmness and his thoughts became clear.
"Your Highness, don't worry, leave this matter to me. I will arrange the most capable confidants to find out the situation in the palace as soon as possible and order people to mobilize the army outside the city." Ge Long said seriously.
Everyone talked and talked, constantly improving the plan, and every detail was repeatedly considered.
As the discussion deepened, a careful plan to break into the palace gradually took shape. When the time was right, they could break into the palace in one fell swoop and deal a fatal blow to Xue Xing's conspiracy.
Everything in the plan was going on in full swing.
Deep in the palace, Gu Han had a sly and confident smile on his face, like a hunter hidden in the darkness, quietly watching the every move of Xue Ye and others.
Ning Fengzhi and others were all resting with their eyes closed, waiting for the development of the incident. Bibi Dong's little hand kept fiddling with the pen on the table, her eyes were fixed on the window, and she seemed a little uneasy.
Gu Han reached out and patted Bibi Dong's little hand, soothing the other party's uneasiness.
Bibi Dong pursed her lips. Although she was very excited when she started the discussion, she couldn't help but get nervous when things reached this point.
Gu Han could understand. After all, this Bibi Dong was not the future ruthless pope in the original book, she was just a little girl.
