Protect Our Chief

"But Dexin is a prince; we can’t just charge in and kill him to eliminate future troubles, right? Doing so, His Majesty wouldn’t spare us. Therefore, creating a safe and controlled space and releasing bait to entice that hidden threat to enter, then erupting, is naturally the most reasonable method."

"Gui Long City is not a good place to act. On the other hand, the Southern Border is remote, with tall mountains and the Great Emperor far away; it’s the perfect place to make a big move. Thus, Emperor’s Son An initially announced plans to conquer the Southern Border. The purpose was to let Prince Dexin see hope and future, temporarily stabilizing him so he wouldn’t go all out and retaliate madly on the spot."

"And as everyone knows, Prince Dexin is not a patient person; his patience is poor. I specifically instructed Emperor’s Son An to continuously delay the plan to conquer the Southern Border, gradually eroding Dexin’s patience. When his patience is nearly exhausted and liable to lose control, release news to stabilize his emotions; when his patience is gone, release more news."

Emperor Longchang interrupted irritably, "You kid calculate far enough. But how do you know where Prince Dexin’s patience limit is? Maybe his mind will collapse and take desperate risks directly?"

"Dexin’s patience isn’t good, but it’s still better than His Majesty’s, since his external constraints are greater than His Majesty’s. When His Majesty loses patience, Dexin is almost there..." Wang Shouzhe said frankly, "I reference His Majesty’s rhythm for this."

"I #￥@!"

Emperor Longchang nearly lost control, almost kicking Wang Shouzhe in the face.

So, those few times, you took me as the patience benchmark?

And, what do you mean by external constraints? Aren’t you implying that no one restrains me, I lack patience, and like to act freely?

If it weren’t for considering Xian’Er, An Ye, and Ruolan, would you believe that I’d hit you right on the spot?

Under the Emperor’s unpredictable expression, Wang Shouzhe continued, "After several times, it finally came to the time for Emperor’s Son An to set out."

"Prince Dexin has been tormented for decades, and his patience is about to be exhausted. If he has any thought of turning the tide, he absolutely would not miss this rare opportunity. If he has a plan to act, he will certainly strike this time, because if he misses this chance, who knows when the next opportunity will arise."

Prince Dexin’s face turned extremely ugly.

That Wang Shouzhe, dared to grasp his psychological fluctuations so tightly, using external conditions to manipulate his emotions, causing all his actions and thoughts to fall completely under his control.

This person is too terrifying!

"I’m also curious; although you can control his actions this time," another detained Xiao Limo frowned and said, "But why are you so sure Dexin would choose to act during the Saintess transition in Gu God Village?"

"Replying to Grand Marshal, we spent decades operating in the Southern Border, forming today’s situation, equivalent to having indirectly subdued the Southern Border. Conquering the Southern Border has become a mere formality."

"With a conquest plan without any fierce battles, Emperor’s Son An only needs to stay in the Central Army daily, then easily gains immense merit, thoroughly stabilizing Emperor’s Son An’s position," Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "Give Dexin ten thousand times the courage, he wouldn’t dare act within the Central Army, right? Also, he can’t just watch Emperor’s Son An gain unprecedented achievements, right?"

"Under such imbalanced and anxious mentality, as long as we reveal one flaw, he’ll pounce like a starving hyena suddenly seeing a piece of meat. Strong desire suppresses reason, making it easy to fall for it."

"Moreover, Miss Yuqing has abandoned darkness for light, determined to serve Emperor’s Son An. With her by the side encouraging subtly, it naturally becomes even more seamless."

"Luo Yuqing?!" Prince Dexin suddenly glared at the hundreds of personal guards, roaring like a mad dog, "Luo Yuqing, you wicked woman! How dare you be disloyal!"

From the personal guard camp, disguised as one of the guards, Luo Yuqing gracefully descended, removed her helmet, and respectfully saluted Emperor Longchang, Emperor’s Son An, and Wang Shouzhe before coldly addressing Prince Dexin, "I was originally from the Immortal Dynasty, invited by Gongyang Strategy, the Great Celestial Pride of Lingyun Sacred Land, to help form ’Dawn’. Initially, I thought Gongyang Strategy and Prince Kang were passionate and ambitious, fighting for the rise of the Human Race."

"Unfortunately, whether it’s Gongyang Strategy or Prince Kang, they’ve disappointed me greatly. Not only did they fail, but they failed miserably, and Prince Kang exposed all his hypocrisy. Later, ’Dawn’ was hunted, and the brothers and sisters I painstakingly cultivated were captured one by one. Amid desperation, I met Emperor’s Son An and Patriarch Shouzhe."

"After a night of heartfelt conversation, I realized Emperor’s Son An is the true lord I envisioned, and Patriarch Shouzhe is a never-seen-before virtuous minister. I, Luo Yuqing, vow to lead ’Dawn’ to fight for them, to witness the rise of the Human Race, and to expel the Demons, promising a bright future."

These words, Luo Yuqing spoke forcefully, with shining eyes, as if she truly found her destined lord.

However, in contrast, the "betrayed" Dexin wasn’t so pleased.

He was filled with rage, almost spitting blood.

"Moreover, not only have I switched allegiances, but even Wabak has renewed himself under Patriarch Shouzhe’s earnest persuasion and joined Emperor’s Son An," Luo Yuqing said earnestly, "This is exactly what Patriarch Shouzhe meant by ’those who gain the Way receive much help, and those who lose the Way receive little help’."
