After the initial shock, the prime minister dismissed the spy, his face turning completely grim. "Our Eastern Zhou is in danger."
"Yes...it's over, our Eastern Zhou Dynasty is finished..."
The ruler of Eastern Zhou also realized that all the male members of the Ji family had been killed. Who else would risk rescuing the female members of the Ji family besides Ji Wuming and the child who had escaped back then?
They knew that Ji Wuming was dead.
But that child seems to be…
He's already become that childlike national advisor's apprentice!
That child is back, and with such a powerful senior brother, he's bound to come for revenge!
After all, it was because the Eastern Zhou Dynasty pursued their responsibility that the Western Zhou Dynasty punished the Ji family.
This is really going to be a disaster!
"The current situation is quite unfavorable for us."
The prime minister's face was grave. "If Princess Fenghe were still alive, perhaps we would still have a chance to negotiate with her, but now..."
"But now, Fenghe is gone, and we have no bargaining chips left."
The more the King of Eastern Zhou thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. It was a complete disaster that had come out of nowhere. He couldn't help but shout angrily, "Those assassins are utter idiots! They couldn't even kill a cripple and a child!"
Originally, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had nothing to do with this, but they were dragged into this conspiracy and now their country is on the verge of collapse.
And those assassins, although they outwardly agreed to let Princess Fenghe release Ji Wuming and his son, they actually immediately sent assassins to follow them.
As the person in charge of a country, one naturally understands the principle of eliminating problems at their root.
But the assassin was so useless that he actually lost track of the person!
"Your Majesty, given the current situation, peace talks are practically impossible. Our only option now is to flee."
The prime minister thought for a moment and said, "I think that if the young man from the Ji family can't find Princess Fenghe, not only will the entire royal family be doomed, but those who were involved in it will also be the targets of revenge."
"Report!"
Just then, another scout rushed in to report, "Your Majesty, the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion of the Western Zhou Dynasty has rebelled, the King of Nanfeng has been killed, and the imperial power has changed hands."
"hiss!"
This startled the ruler of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, who was so shocked that he stood up from his seat.
"That's really too ruthless."
The prime minister's face also turned pale. "Your Majesty, we can't hesitate any longer. Western Zhou is the homeland of the Ji family, yet he is so ruthless that he has even uprooted the entire royal family!"
"But I am unwilling to give up my family's legacy built up over hundreds of years!"
The King of Eastern Zhou, his eyes bloodshot and fists clenched, said, "Prime Minister, I want to ask the other nine great dynasties for help. As long as they are willing to be subservient, Eastern Zhou is willing to become their vassal state!"
Becoming a vassal state was equally humiliating, and the prospect of paying tribute in the future undoubtedly increased the burden on the country.
However, compared to the destruction of a country, or the loss of this prestigious position, it is nothing at all!
"Your Majesty, even if you were willing to submit now, they might not be willing to accept you."
The prime minister sighed and shook his head, saying, "The relationship between the nine great dynasties is also quite tense. No dynasty would be willing to offend three celestial beings for some petty gains, thus giving other dynasties an opportunity to take advantage."
From the fates of the Jiang Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty, the prime minister could roughly guess Ji Fanya's character.
If they were so ruthless towards their motherland, the Western Zhou Dynasty, they would certainly show no mercy towards the Eastern Zhou Dynasty as well.
