Chapter 2213 - 2214: One More Bad Idea
Although the words of the master of strategy are somewhat harsh, they still sound unpleasant to the ears, but you cannot help but agree that everything the strategist said is true!
In conflicts like the one between Ye Xunhuan and the king, people like Tang Yurou really have no place to intervene, and their assistance would only make matters worse, so it’s better not to get involved, just stay aside and watch. Even if Ye Xunhuan is really at the brink of life and death, do not come out and seek death.
But back to the matter at hand, when emotions stir, do one’s body and thoughts truly become uncontrollable?
Tang Yurou also felt uncomfortable, but she understood that what the strategist said was true, so she nodded in agreement.
"Little Rou Rou, don’t listen to this old man rambling!" Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but say, "He’s been an old bachelor all his life and can’t stand seeing young people have a good time."
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan felt quite disgruntled, as if the strategist had swallowed gunpowder and was completely blowing up.
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, the strategist immediately blew his beard and glared, but he didn’t argue back with Ye Xunhuan. After all, he could see that Ye Xunhuan was really protective of Tang Yurou. Continuing to argue with Ye Xunhuan wouldn’t make sense and would only hurt feelings.
"Sir, you must have something important to discuss with Xunhuan," Tang Yurou said softly, "Let’s go inside and talk!"
The strategist glanced at Tang Yurou and then looked at Ye Xunhuan: "Forget it, I’ll just say it here!"
"Ye Xunhuan, I’ve already figured out the king’s layout. This time, he’s trying to force you to reveal all your cards." The strategist said helplessly, "Moreover, the king has calculated everything within his plan. If no unexpected events occur, your cards are destined to be taken away by the king, and no one can stop it!"
When the strategist mentioned the serious matter, Ye Xunhuan no longer argued, simply asking, "What unexpected events are you talking about?"
"For example, if the king suddenly dies, or if a holy war erupts, or perhaps..."
Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but have three black lines appear on his forehead. The strategist’s examples were completely unrealistic; none were likely to happen, making them as good as saying nothing.
"Based on what you’re saying, my cards are sure to be seized?" Ye Xunhuan said helplessly.
"There’s an eighty to ninety percent chance of that happening."
"Then why did you say earlier that I’ve ruined the plan, you..."
"Nonsense, according to my previous setup, if you don’t engage the king, come back and I’ll plan things out for you," the strategist interrupted Ye Xunhuan: "With the support of the Xiahous’ house and some of my acquaintances, we could have maneuvered for several days."
"Now that you’ve engaged the king and got injured, do you think the king will give you a chance to recuperate?"
Ye Xunhuan was silent.
As the saying goes, strike while the snake is at its weakest, seize your chance and claim your prey; If he were in the same position now, he wouldn’t let go.
"Originally, I could have fought for more time for you, possibly even enhancing your strength, or giving you a chance to go abroad and find some external support, allowing us to slowly negotiate with the king, but now you have no chance to go out," the strategist sighed lightly: "The king won’t let you leave while injured, and even if you leave, the king will certainly leak the news of your severe injuries."
"By the time you’ve just crossed the border, chances are there’ll be people outside wanting to ambush you."
Ye Xunhuan couldn’t deny that everything the strategist said was correct.
"At this point, discussing these matters is already meaningless," Ye Xunhuan said with a bitter expression, "The path I’ve chosen, I’ll walk it to the end, even if it leads to death."
"I hope for an accident!" The strategist said full of prayer: "These days, I’ll also help you work things out, hopefully delaying enough time. Even if you can’t leave Huaxia, at least have the ability to withstand the king’s stormy attacks."
"But there are some words I must say upfront!"
"Speak!"
"If it’s truly a point of no return, no one will help you confront the national protector," the strategist said softly: "Of course, the Xiahous’ house might be an exception."
"But others won’t act that way, the national protector’s underpinnings are too strong. Even if you have three or four masters at the level of entering the void by your side, escorting you, you won’t necessarily win."
"Moreover, some ancient martial arts factions and family clans are also under the king’s control. As soon as the king’s decree is issued, no one will defy it."
"If true internal struggle unfolds, only outsiders would benefit, something no one wants to see. So, you should be able to anticipate the ultimate result!"
"Sacrifice me alone to fulfill everyone else, right?" Ye Xunhuan said bitterly and unwillingly.
The strategist nodded helplessly: "It was predestined from the time you were born, blame no one, if blame is to be placed, blame that you’re the son of Qin Fenghuang, and that your mother died far too early. Otherwise, the king might not have been able to stir much."
Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath: "If he wants me dead, he will have to pay the price. From tomorrow, my people will enter Huaxia at all costs!"
As he spoke, a dark killing intent flickered in Ye Xunhuan’s eyes.
The king wants him dead, so nobody should have it easy.
Besides, from beginning to end, Ye Xunhuan’s people really haven’t entered Huaxia, haven’t done anything in Huaxia.
Ye Xunhuan has always strictly demanded his people not to take any orders related to Huaxia.
Now, the king wants to kill him, if Ye Xunhuan doesn’t make a move, it really wouldn’t be worthy of his title as a commander of ten overlord marshals.
This time, even if he dies, he wants the sky to change its course.
The strategist instantly saw the dark killing intent in Ye Xunhuan’s eyes and sighed heavily: "Ye Xunhuan, I still have one lousy idea that doesn’t require risking anything, and it won’t require you to reveal all your cards. It’s just whether you’d do it!"
Ye Xunhuan suspiciously looked the strategist up and down twice.
Who the strategist really is, Ye Xunhuan isn’t very clear, but he knows this person has vast powers, seemingly omniscient.
Now the strategist says it’s a lousy idea, so it must be bad, maybe even extremely disgusting. Hence, Ye Xunhuan is hesitating whether to listen!
"Consider it, if you want to know, I’ll tell you, anyway I’ve never thought much of this idea," the strategist added: "Moreover, this lousy idea might very well cost you your life!"
Ye Xunhuan still didn’t speak, remaining thoughtful, as if pondering whether to listen to the lousy idea.
