Chapter 375 Long Hai's Plan
......
Kyoto, the Imperial Palace!
"Your Majesty! The Ninth Princess has arrived!"
A eunuch reported this.
Upon hearing this, Long Hai put down the book in his hand, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Let her in."
Eunuch: "Yes."
Soon, Long Ying entered the main hall.
"Father," Long Ying bowed respectfully, "Did you summon me for something?"
"Ying'er, you should know why I made you and that little demon Ye Ge your betrothed, right?" Long Hai looked at her intently.
Long Ying paused for a moment, then said, "I know you want to keep the Ye family in check, but you're also worried that since the Ye family is a family of demonized mutants, you're afraid they might rebel, so..."
“That was indeed the case back then.” Long Hai interrupted her, saying expressionlessly, “But now, my mind has changed. The Ye family is clearly not one to be restrained by our royal family. Their ambitions are boundless. Over the years, they have continuously expanded their power and have long since stopped taking me, the ruler of the human race, seriously! Therefore, I can no longer tolerate them. In my eyes, the Ye family must be eliminated!”
Long Ying frowned slightly: "Father, is that really necessary? The Ye family hasn't done anything to offend the court over the years..."
"Ha! No?" Long Hai sneered, "The magic energy stone mines they dumped a few days ago were clearly a deliberate attempt to swindle the royal family! They had already received information from Dark City, which is why they did this on purpose, trying to weaken the royal family's finances!"
Long Ying retorted, "However, Ye Ge has already publicly announced that they are willing to give all the money to anyone who buys their magic stone mine within a month, and..."
"Hmph, do you mean I should send someone to beg him to return the goods, making the royal family owe the Ye family a favor?" Long Hai's gaze was gloomy. "Think about what the Ye family has done over the years! They have been constantly expanding their power, mining extensively in the wilderness, leading all the nobles to join their mining efforts, controlling the entire empire's market for extraordinary materials, and now they've used the magic energy stone to make all the major powers in the empire owe them a favor! Now they've even collaborated with that Dark City to develop something like the Deep Blue System. Their current strength seriously threatens the empire's authority! And yet they haven't shown any reaction, as if I, the emperor, don't exist at all. Do you dare say these guys have no ambition at all?"
“…” Long Ying fell silent.
"If the Ye family is not eliminated, our royal family and our Great Qin will be overthrown by them sooner or later!"
Long Hai's voice was sharp and carried an undeniable air of authority: "Therefore, this is something that must be done!"
Long Ying remained silent and did not speak.
She knew that she probably couldn't persuade her father anymore...
"What does Father Emperor want me to do?" Long Ying asked.
Long Hai narrowed his eyes: "You are already eighteen years old. I hope to speed up your wedding process and hold the wedding for you at the end of the month. On your wedding night, you will use this treasure to ambush and assassinate Ye Ge!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved.
A eunuch immediately brought over a wooden box.
Inside the box was a treasure shrouded in golden spiritual energy.
Long Ying's eyes flickered, revealing a surprised expression: "Demon-Suppressing Needles?!?"
“That’s right,” Long Hai said. “This is a gold-quality treasure! It’s a relic left by the late emperor, and it was enhanced to +12 stars by the empire’s best enchanting and enhancement master. It’s enchanted with a demon-devouring effect. As long as it’s pierced into Ye Ge’s body, he will surely die!”
Long Ying bit her lip.
"What's wrong, Long Ying? You don't want to?" Long Hai raised an eyebrow.
“I just feel…” Long Ying paused, “that Ye Ge is a smart man, very shrewd, and has many skilled guards around him. I might not be able to find an opportunity to strike…”
"Hehe, that's alright." Long Hai narrowed his eyes: "Even if he has many guards around him, it's impossible for them to be there to watch him during their wedding night, right? There are many intelligent people in this world, but people are still people. They can't always maintain a rational mind. They always have desires and emotions. Your beautiful appearance and alluring body are the best weapons to make him lower his guard! When he's at his weakest and most unguarded, you can strike him dead in one fell swoop!"
Long Ying: "......"
Long Ying's body trembled slightly.
Suddenly, I felt a chill in my chest.
Long Ying lowered her head and remained silent, her beautiful face gradually darkening.
He let out a silent sigh: "Sigh..."
really......
To this man, these princesses and princes were merely tools for his rule over the world.
Just like my eldest and second eldest brothers who died back then, and my mother.
He... is willing to sacrifice anyone to achieve his goal...
“I will also send people to visit the Ye family to show goodwill and lower their guard.” Long Hai continued, “I will deliberately create the illusion that the royal family has already backed down against them. Then, on your wedding day, I will have the five great generals and the three dukes take the opportunity to lead experts into Ye City, while at the same time leading a large army to surround the southern border, kill Ye Ge, eliminate Ye Quan, and completely wipe out the Ye family’s power!”
"Yes, a very thorough plan." Long Ying raised her head again, her expression calm, and said lightly.
Actually, there wasn't anything too wrong with Long Hai's plan.
It's definitely enough to deal with ordinary enemies.
But the Emperor was facing Ye Ge...
Long Ying and Ye Ge have known each other for many years. They secretly formed an alliance back then, and Ye Ge's smooth development in the Southern Territory over the years is inseparable from her help.
Therefore, Long Ying was also very clear about what kind of person Ye Ge was.
Using such a plan or strategy against him is practically like playing the Empty City Stratagem on Zhuge Liang...
Long Hai gave Long Ying a meaningful look and said, "Ying'er, you shouldn't blame your father, right? You must know that if we want to achieve great things, we can't get bogged down in trivial matters. Only those who are willing to abandon everything and use any means necessary can seize this world!"
Long Ying said calmly, "I understand."
"Good! As expected of my daughter! You truly have the ambition to achieve great things!" Long Hai looked at her with satisfaction and nodded. "Then you can go now and make good preparations. The end of the month is your wedding day with Ye Ge!"
"Yes." Long Ying calmly turned and left.
After Long Ying left, Long Hai's eyes instantly turned cold again.
"Go ahead, but remember, you absolutely cannot be discovered by her. You must keep a close watch on her. If you find that she is in contact with Ye Ge, notify me immediately," Long Hai said coldly.
"Yes!" Several men in black appeared and followed them out in a flash.
"Hey hey hey..."
The enormous figure of the leper slowly emerged from the darkness behind the throne. He grinned with an ugly, disgusting smile and said, "I really like this little girl more and more the more I look at her, but I feel like what she said just now wasn't entirely true."
“If he dares to betray me,” Long Hai’s eyes turned icy, “then she will no longer be my daughter, and you can do whatever you want with her.”
Lai Chu laughed loudly: "Hahaha, good, you said it!"
