Chapter 426: Chapter 117: The Grandmaster Under Prince An! Looting a Burning House? (Part 2)

,,,

"What if I refuse?"

His gaze slightly narrowed.

Although he admired Yan Jiang’s abilities and tactics, this did not mean that when it was time to act, Yan Fuhai would show any mercy.

When it came time to strike, Yan Fuhai would have no regard for father-son bonds.

Upon hearing Yan Fuhai’s words, Yan Jiang seemed unsurprised, his expression unchanged, and he continued to speak with his hands clasped in a salute.

"Then it will be beyond Father Emperor’s control. Today, if Father Emperor does not pass the throne to this son, then do not think of leaving here!"

With that.

Yan Jiang seized the moment to wave his hand at the army behind him.

The previously silent fifty thousand troops immediately responded as if receiving an order, raising their weapons in unison, pointing directly at Yan Fuhai.

"Impudent!"

Yan Fuhai’s expression was composed; he no longer intended to say anything more.

It was Wei Hongfang who stood up directly, angrily rebuking Yan Jiang.

"Prince An, do you know what you are saying? Daring to endanger your master, are you courting death?"

"You old dog, I’ve long wanted to kill you!"

Relying on his esteemed status, Wei Hongfang showed respect to no one, not even to the princes and noble lords, being entirely loyal only to Yan Fuhai.

This was where Wei Hongfang’s wisdom lay.

Yan Jiang’s dissatisfaction with Wei Hongfang was not a recent development.

However, at present, Yan Jiang was more concerned with the matter of succession.

He gestured and had someone bring out an imperial edict that had been prepared in advance, presenting it to Yan Fuhai.

"Father Emperor need not worry about anything else, just stamp this edict with the Jade Seal, and that will be enough!"

,,,

They were truly prepared, having even prepared the edict.

Yan Fuhai couldn’t help but let out a light laugh.

Wei Hongfang, standing beside him, understood that this was his master’s smile when angered, leaving no room for hesitation.

"Audacious!"

Wei Hongfang made his move.

With a palm filled with Inner Strength, he struck fiercely in the direction of the edict, blasting the person delivering it into pieces along with it.

"If you want to harm the master, you must pass through me first!"

"Wei Hongfang, you’re courting death!"

Seeing this scene, Yan Jiang was also furious.

He immediately ordered to first slaughter this Wei Hongfang. As expected, Wei Hongfang, the most loyal old dog by Yan Fuhai’s side, would undoubtedly stand up first in such a moment.

Fortunately, he himself was prepared.

Suddenly.

A figure of a middle-aged man shot out from the crowd at an extremely fast speed, leaping to confront Wei Hongfang.

"Rivers Converge to the Sea!"

By the time Wei Hongfang reacted, it was too late to dodge, forcing him to gather all his Inner Strength to defend.

But even so, he was hit with a heart-stopping kick to the chest.

"Boom!"

The force was so immense that even Wei Hongfang couldn’t help but stagger back several steps before regaining his stance.

With a stern expression, he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.

"Grandmaster!"

If not a Grandmaster, it would be impossible to repel him. It was unexpected that Yan Jiang had the assistance of a Grandmaster.

Similarly.

Fu Zhengqing, who had been contemplating whether to intervene to block Wei Hongfang for Yan Jiang, was also momentarily stunned upon seeing the Grandmaster by Yan Jiang’s side.

Clearly, he had not anticipated this either.

Yan Jiang had never mentioned having a Grandmaster’s assistance under him.

Realizing this, Fu Zhengqing’s eyes slightly narrowed, indeed, everyone harbors secrets in their hearts; no one trusts others completely.

"Target: Pei Liang!

Level: Late-stage Grandmaster!

Talent Entry: Dragon’s Grace, Tiger’s Might (Gold),"

"Dragon’s Grace, Tiger’s Might (Gold): Moving like a dragon, stepping like a tiger."

At the moment this Grandmaster appeared, Ye Liuyun also utilized his system’s abilities to observe.

Though there was only one Talent Entry, it was of gold quality.

The key is that this entry equaled two effects, enhancing both physique and Qinggong; such talent was indeed admirable, hmm, desirable!

While Ye Liuyun was appraising Pei Liang.

Beside him, Yan Shuzhu seemed to recall something, unable to suppress a sigh.

"That Wei Hongfang is indeed loyal to Father Emperor!"

Although, like Yan Jiang, Yan Shuzhu greatly disdained the esteemed Wei Hongfang.

Before Yan Fuhai emerged from seclusion, Wei Hongfang had often made things difficult for Yan Shuzhu.

But there was no denying that Wei Hongfang’s loyalty to Yan Fuhai was sincere and wholehearted.

"Really?"

Hearing this.

Ye Liuyun, pulling his thoughts back, couldn’t help but laugh.

"What’s the matter?"

Yan Shuzhu looked at Ye Liuyun with confusion, unsure if her words had been incorrect, eliciting such a reaction from Ye Liuyun.

"It’s because Wei Hongfang knows that Yan Fuhai has the ability to resolve anything like this; if Wei Hongfang realized that Yan Fuhai was in a true predicament he couldn’t resolve, would Wei Hongfang still stand so firmly by Yan Fuhai’s side?"

Right now, Wei Hongfang knows clearly.

Never mind these fifty thousand troops and this Grandmaster, even with a hundred thousand troops and a Grandmaster, his master has the ability to counter it.

So opportunities to show loyalty like this are ones Wei Hongfang naturally wouldn’t want to miss.

But if.

If a real predicament occurred, one even Yan Fuhai couldn’t solve.
