Handing over Ye Tian and the others would be the first step for the Martial Dynasty to demonstrate its power and authority. If the academy refuses, the Martial King will soon send troops to invade the academy and show his strength.
After pondering for a while, Ye Tian asked, "What is the academy's attitude now?"
Kong Chan said somewhat embarrassedly, "Although our academy holds a high position in the Feng Dynasty, we have never been involved in court politics. We cannot make any suggestions regarding diplomacy between the two countries."
Ye Tian was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand, Dean. Thank you for taking care of me these past few days."
Seeing this, Kong Chan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Do you have any thoughts in your mind?"
Ye Tian was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "What are your thoughts?"
Upon hearing this, Kong Chan became anxious and said, "How can you not have any thoughts at all? How did you feel when King Wu besieged you?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian truthfully replied, "I want to kill him, but I'm not strong enough."
"Sigh." Kong Chan sighed, disappointment flashing in his eyes, and said, "Never mind."
"Wait a minute." Ye Tian suddenly stopped Kong Chan.
"What's wrong?"
"If I have any cards to play, could you help me contact the person in charge of Fengchao?" Ye Tian asked after reviewing the situation in his mind.
Kong Chan was delighted upon hearing this and said, "I can get in touch with them."
Ye Tian slightly closed his eyes, a smile suddenly appearing on his lips. He already had a plan: he could stay at the academy for a long time; if the Martial King wanted to deal with him, he would have no shortage of experts.
If he were outside, he would easily be killed by a peak-level Grand Luo Golden Immortal if he were tracked down. But as long as he is in the academy, with Kong Chan and his gang of old scoundrels around, he will definitely not die.
Ye Tian had his reasons for sending Kong Chan to contact influential figures in the Feng Dynasty. Since the Wu Dynasty was relentlessly pursuing him, he might as well give them a big blow all at once. So what if they wanted to fight? Ye Tian wasn't afraid of them; he'd just go for it!
Once a decision has been made, there's no need to worry about the rest; just let others carry it out.
During the Wu Dynasty.
Inside the imposing palace, where wisps of smoke rose from the ever-burning embers, a majestic man clad in a robe embroidered with an eight-clawed golden dragon stood with his eyes slightly closed. His brows gleamed like sharp swords, his intense, burning gaze enough to blind anyone. Even merely reclining quietly on his gleaming golden dragon throne, he exuded an aura that intimidated all who came. This awe-inspiring presence belonged only to the sole prince of the dynasty, the Martial King, who held absolute military power!
King Wu opened his eyes, displaying an aura that could shake the world with a single movement of a dragon or tiger. A man entered from outside; he was Yin Mofan, who had succeeded Gu Shi as King Wu's strategist.
Yin Mofan was dressed in linen clothes, and he didn't stand out at all. Everything about him was so ordinary—his appearance, height, and attire were all ordinary; he would be completely inconspicuous in a crowd.
Even his eyes showed no intelligence whatsoever; he looked like a commoner casually pulled from a field, with nothing special about him.
Yet, it was precisely this kind of person who was designated by Gu Shi as his successor, and who asserted that in terms of political strategy, Yin Mofan would surely have a place in the world.
How bad could this kind of character be?
Yin Mofan walked in, clasped his hands in a respectful bow, and said with a calm smile, "King Wu, I pay my respects."
King Wu calmly opened his eyes, smiled and said, "Since Gu Shi has designated you as his sole strategist after him, there's no need for formalities. From now on, you can retain all the rights that Gu Shi previously held in King Wu's residence."
However, when King Wu mentioned Gu Shi, a look of regret flashed in his eyes, and he even felt a little sad.
Gu Shi had followed him for many years, and now he died far from home.
Who could have predicted that?
Yin Mofan may not look particularly outstanding, but his demeanor is extraordinary. He calmly said, "Several days have passed since the academy lasted, and there has been no movement from them."
King Wu chuckled, showing no shock, and calmly said, "The Hanlin Academy has been favored by the Feng Dynasty like a son for so many years, so it is naturally quite arrogant. When the court puts pressure on them, they will naturally hand over their people obediently."
“I think this is an opportunity,” Yin Mofan said.
"Why?"
"Fight! Take this opportunity to show your skills. Our Wu Dynasty has thousands of troops and powerful cavalry, what do we have to fear from the Feng Dynasty? Since we have nothing to fear, let's show our skills as soon as possible so we can gain more benefits at the card table."
Upon hearing this, King Wu pondered with a serious expression.
