The emperor's travels were always top secret; very few people in the world could harm him, especially since he was accompanied by four loyal imperial guards.
But he disappeared.
His repeated absences began to stir up some powerful families, and people began to speculate whether something had happened to the emperor.
Fortunately, the imperial authority remained, and the imperial guards were not to be underestimated. However, time had taken its toll, and with the emperor absent for an extended period, rumors began to circulate among the people.
Some audacious families began to engage in underhanded tactics.
Inside the palace, several princes began to engage in open and covert struggles. Those who had been suppressed and dared not move before saw their opportunity and began to gather forces to seize the dazzling throne. The power structure in the capital was changing, and the aristocratic families took sides. From the initial mutual insults to the later assassinations, everyone wanted to take the opportunity to rise to the top.
Chaos has broken out in the capital.
If the capital is in chaos, the whole country will be in chaos.
Fang Congyun, who had miraculously survived, also sensed an opportunity.
He was already extremely ambitious, not to mention now that he was burdened with a blood feud. Fang Congyun left his hiding place and began to try to build his own power.
While he was secretly plotting, he unexpectedly stumbled upon a scene of a chase.
A veiled girl fled in panic, protected by several fighters, but they were outnumbered by the assassins, and the high-level fighters were surrounded and killed.
This scene led Fang Congyun to conclude that the girl must be the daughter of some powerful and influential family.
He needs an opportunity, he needs the capital to turn his life around.
So Fang Congyun went all out. He sent out his men, and those who were willing to follow him never imagined that their departure would be a death sentence.
The assassins' rhythm was disrupted by the sudden appearance of strangers, while Fang Congyun took advantage of the chaos to rescue the girl.
To his surprise, he made the right bet.
This girl wasn't some noblewoman at all, but a royal princess! The cliché of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress won the princess's heart. When Fang Congyun learned the princess's identity, he was overjoyed. He knew his chance had come.
Fate ultimately led Fang Congyun back to his own path.
However, none of this had much to do with Fang Zhiyi. He led his group of nuclear-powered donkeys to a large laboratory that was better preserved.
This is the best ruin that Xiao Hei could find.
Fang Zhiyi spent some time teaching them some basic knowledge. To his surprise, although these people didn't seem very smart, their thirst for power was serious. Ever since Fang Zhiyi demonstrated the power to instantly kill an emperor, they completely took Fang Zhiyi's words as their motto.
Of course, he didn't expect that a genius or anything like that would emerge from among these people. So Fang Zhiyi adopted the most efficient approach: he took charge of the most complex part himself, and then broke down the other parts, letting his subordinates take charge of one part each.
It's simply an assembly line operation.
Fortunately, due to limited resources, they couldn't make many high-tech gadgets.
"With the king missing and the powerful families in the capital fighting tooth and nail, our Gu family's opportunity has arrived!" the Gu family head exclaimed excitedly.
His son looked at him blankly: "Dad, what can we do?"
"Of course, we should declare ourselves kings. From now on, Yicheng will be the territory of our Gu family."
Gu Xiaojia was even more confused: "Dad, it's the same now."
The patriarch was taken aback, but it didn't seem to make a mistake. This remote place had never been taken seriously by the wealthy and powerful families in those areas.
