Chapter 365 - 97: Calm Before the Storm! Panicking? Will That Help?

"Teacher, I want to ask for your help!"

Indeed.

After a long silence and a struggle on his face, Yan Jiang finally raised his head and seriously spoke to Fu Zhengqing.

"..."

It’s done!

Although he said nothing, Fu Zhengqing could clearly see that his plan had been completely successful.

This Yan Jiang had fully trusted him.

"What do you want to do?"

On the surface, however, Fu Zhengqing frowned and looked at Yan Jiang.

It seemed as if he didn’t know exactly what Yan Jiang intended to do.

In front of Yan Fuhai, Fu Zhengqing’s acting could be said to be insignificant, but in front of Yan Jiang, such acting was enough to bewilder the other party.

"Teacher, I can’t wait for decades. I want to seize the throne now!"

Having made up his mind, there was no need to hesitate.

Yan Jiang directly said loudly.

"Why, why should this throne end up in Yan Shuzhu’s hands, she’s just a woman, why can she take this position!"

Before this.

Everyone thought Yan Shuzhu was just a puppet emperor.

But now, if Yan Fuhai truly acknowledged Yan Shuzhu’s throne, then at that time, there would be no more puppet nonsense, Yan Shuzhu would be the genuine emperor.

All the previous indifference and perfunctory behavior would likely be swept away after this event.

Thinking of such a situation.

Yan Jiang couldn’t help but feel excited internally.

"Teacher, I want to ask for your help!"

"Did you not say that father had an accident while cultivating? If you act now, with your strength, teacher, there wouldn’t be any issues!"

Seeing the situation.

He was just short of directly rushing over to grab Fu Zhengqing’s hand.

"You know, all I seek is a peaceful cultivation. Now that the Supreme Emperor’s restriction is gone, I can cultivate peacefully!"

In other words.

It means that what Yan Jiang promised Fu Zhengqing before is no longer tempting to Fu Zhengqing now.

"This,..."

For a moment, Yan Jiang was also at a loss for words.

"Forget it! Forget it!"

Like a sigh.

Fu Zhengqing suddenly raised his hand and sighed longingly at the sky.

"Who makes you my disciple!"

His expression sentimental, looking at Yan Jiang as if he were gazing at a favored disciple.

"Teacher!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiang was filled with joy.

Clearly, he understood the other meaning in Fu Zhengqing’s words.

"However, on the surface, I won’t appear directly. The preparations must be left to yourself!"

Fu Zhengqing wanted Yan Jiang to act as a scapegoat testing Fu Zhengqing, and there was no way he would let himself appear openly.

Of course.

Although he thought that way, on the surface, Fu Zhengqing definitely wouldn’t express it directly.

Instead, he looked at Yan Jiang with a serious expression.

"Only in the most dangerous, most crucial moment will I take action, clearly?"

When Fu Zhengqing mentioned the key moment.

Naturally, it was waiting to confirm when Yan Fuhai truly faced problems due to his retreat.

But in Yan Jiang’s understanding.

Fu Zhengqing meant he would act when there was a total showdown against Yan Fuhai.

Realizing this.

Yan Jiang didn’t hesitate to nod.

"No problem, teacher, leave the rest to me!"

In Yan Jiang’s original plan.

It was for his teacher to deal with Yan Fuhai. After all, as long as he could eliminate his father, the other problems wouldn’t be issues.

"Hmm!"

Fu Zhengqing slightly nodded, as if agreeing to Yan Jiang’s terms.

"Teacher, then I’ll start preparing!"

Having received the ’definite response’ from Fu Zhengqing, the joy on Yan Jiang’s face was unmistakably visible.

Without any hesitation, he turned around and left.

After Yan Jiang left, the original gentle expression on Fu Zhengqing’s face slowly disappeared, turning into utter coldness. His entire demeanor adopted a hint of chilliness.

"What a pity!"

These words weren’t clear whether they were for Yan Jiang or Yan Fuhai.

For Fu Zhengqing.

Supporting Yan Jiang initially was only because Yan Jiang showed some skill and was worth investing in.

As for favoring Yan Jiang greatly, that was impossible.

Yan Jiang just had value for use, but if danger really emerged, Fu Zhengqing would discard Yan Jiang without hesitation.

Thinking this.

Fu Zhengqing returned to his usual expression, as if nothing had occurred.

Anyway, leaving the rest to Yan Jiang was sufficient. He just needed to wait quietly for the situation to unfold.

Just like the former Prince Jin Yan Ze.

Yan Jiang also secretly trained an army, albeit not as exaggerated as Yan Ze’s ten thousand men.

After all, having too many would make them hard to hide.

Therefore, Yan Jiang planned to deploy his hidden army during this period, and also recruit more personnel.

When the time comes to take action, who doesn’t want more people on their side? More is definitely better.

...

Next.

In just three days.

Almost all civil and military officials found out about the old Emperor Yan Fuhai’s emergence from retreat.

Even Prince Jin Yan Ze’s side sent letters to inquire Ye Liuyun, whether the news was true, and Ye Liuyun certainly didn’t hide it.
