"Your Majesty, eight-hundred-mile expedited report, there are a hundred thousand Western Navy soldiers using the path of the Dong Ying Island to invade —"

Li Feng eyes seemingly wanted to crack: "What about Zhao You Fang?"

The messenger bowed to the ground and choked out in tears: "...General Zhao has already been sacrificed for the country."

Li Feng's whole body shook, Chang Geng watched him fall down on the throne with a blank expression. Suddenly, in the area outside of his rational sense, a type of cruel satisfaction was arising in him. However, Chang Geng was very strict towards himself, he pinched his palm in silence and pressed back the bloodthirsty pleasure — he knew it was the Bone of Impurity messing with him, it was not his true self.

Chang Geng opened his mouth and spoke with not much sincerity: "Your Majesty, please take care."

It seemed as if the person who said he wanted to kill Li Feng was not him.

Yan Bei Wang just spoke up, the other dumbfounded magistrates in the main hall immediately reacted and followed his lead: "Your Majesty, please take care."

Li Feng's eyes slowly fell on Chang Geng. This was his only brother in name, but he seldom ever noticed him. Since his Royal Highness Li Min inherited his title and entered the court, he almost never spoke up, nor did he deliberately acquaint himself with other magistrates.

Westerners will immediately be able to make a direct push to Da Gu Harbor as soon as they turn north. It's too late to say anything now, Royal Brother please get rid of distracting thoughts and immediately come to a decision."

Of course, Li Feng knew this, but his heart was a mess, he momentarily did not know what to say.

At this time, Imperial Uncle Wang, who had been turned ashen by rumors revolving around him in the common folks for the past several days, watched the Emperor's face and dared to say, "Your Majesty, there is only one big garrison that is the Northern Camp in the outskirts of the capital, surrounded by nothing but even plains. If we are to clash with them there, our troops will certainly be insufficient.

"Moreover, the case of Tan Hong Fei's rebellion is still inconclusive. There is almost no leader in the Northern Camp right now. If the entire fleet of Sea Dragons in Jiangnan were to be destroyed, what could the Northern Camp do? Who will protect the safety of the capital? The best course of action at this moment is to...how about we...ah…"
