The combined effect of the two has resulted in real combat power that has completely surpassed a Third Grade Mage.
"...,"
Listening to Ye Liuyun’s playful remarks,
Fu Zhengqing said nothing, just gave Ye Liuyun a slightly annoyed glance.
Still, since their goals aligned for now.
Otherwise,
he would have at least let Ye Liuyun know that just because you’ve broken through to the Grandmaster Realm doesn’t mean this old man can’t handle you.
Humph!
Bothering to argue with Ye Liuyun’s words seemed pointless.
Fu Zhengqing directly walked up to Yan Fuhai, and his expression promptly transformed into one of concern.
"It’s truly fortunate that nothing happened to Your Majesty. That Third Grade Mage was truly unsightly. I initially intended to come and protect Your Majesty, but I was entangled for a moment and found myself helpless."
"Same here!"
Following closely, Ye Liuyun approached as well.
Upon hearing Fu Zhengqing’s words, he also respectfully saluted Yan Fuhai and echoed the sentiment.
Have you run out of lines to say?
If not for the circumstances, Fu Zhengqing would have liked to question Ye Liuyun about whether he had run out of words, sticking to just those four words.
Ye Liuyun mostly found it tedious to come up with something new.
Since it was all superficial anyway, he just continued on from Fu Zhengqing’s words, saving himself the trouble of wasting time on thinking of a response.
"Humph!"
Yan Fuhai lightly snorted, but did not respond to Fu Zhengqing’s words.
The anger in his eyes could not be concealed, no matter how he tried.
However, the excuse Fu Zhengqing offered was indeed quite valid. The strength of that Third Grade Mage was indeed genuine, and Yan Fuhai really had no reason to scold Fu Zhengqing over it.
But a fire burned within him.
He needed a target to vent his frustrations on.
Looking at Yun Hu and Guan Bao before him, Yan Fuhai spoke gravely.
"Is this what you call guarding the palace well? Assassins can reach my bedchamber directly. Do you expect that next time, I’ll have to sleep with one eye open?"
"Your Majesty!"
Neither Yun Hu nor Guan Bao were fools.
They could clearly feel Yan Fuhai’s fury and immediately knelt down.
Yun Hu quickly began to explain.
"In response to Your Majesty, it wasn’t entirely the fault of your subordinates this time!"
Yun Hu’s mind was rather quick-witted.
In that brief moment, Yun Hu had already found a scapegoat.
"Hmm?"
Yan Fuhai did not interrupt. He simply furrowed his brow slightly, indicating for Yun Hu to continue.
"Your Majesty!"
Seeing a chance to explain,
Yun Hu relaxed internally and hurriedly continued.
"In fact, the entire palace’s watch had always been managed by the former Duke Wei. My brother and I have only recently taken over. Many of those guarding the palace were personally trained by Duke Wei."
"Even though Duke Wei has been demoted now, these people remain loyal to him!"
"We brothers have worked hard, but in such a short time, it’s difficult to win everyone’s hearts!"
That’s right.
The scapegoat Yun Hu found was none other than their once revered godfather, Wei Hongfang.
Since he’s already been demoted, piling on more blame shouldn’t be much of an issue.
Perfect.
Originally, Yun Hu worried whether Wei Hongfang might still have a chance to regain power, but he thought this incident would completely eliminate that possibility!
"Wei Hongfang!"
Just as expected.
Yan Fuhai had no doubts.
After all, the palace’s watch was indeed once managed by Wei Hongfang. This was also a power Yan Fuhai had specifically given to him.
"Guards!"
Yan Fuhai immediately called someone over and issued an imperial decree.
Seeing that decree, Yun Hu inwardly smiled.
It seems that after this incident, Wei Hongfang would never be able to rise again!
They could rest easy at last.
Once the decree was issued, Yan Fuhai had already adjusted his mood.
"From now on, you will handle the palace’s watch. If something like this happens again, today’s Wei Hongfang will be your tomorrow!"
Yan Fuhai was inherently indifferent.
Today, he could punish Wei Hongfang. If Yun Hu and the others failed, he would still punish them tomorrow.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Hearing the seriousness in Yan Fuhai’s tone,
Yun Hu dared not be negligent. He immediately nodded with a solemn expression.
"Enough! I’m tired. You may all leave first!"
After such an event, Yan Fuhai had no interest in further conversation with these people. fгeewebnovёl.com
He waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.
His mind was set on returning to his chamber and continuing to heal his injuries.
The inability to act had left Yan Fuhai feeling uncomfortable. This feeling of having power yet being unable to wield it made him feel extremely insecure.
For Yan Fuhai at this moment,
nothing was more important than recovering from his injuries as swiftly as possible!
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing Yan Fuhai’s words,
Yun Hu and the others dared not linger. After acknowledging him, they turned and left.
As for Ye Liuyun and Fu Zhengqing, after exchanging a glance, they also said a word to Yan Fuhai, then turned to leave.
"Humph!"
Watching Fu Zhengqing’s departing figure,
Yan Fuhai narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly.
Though everything seemed normal, Yan Fuhai inexplicably sensed that Fu Zhengqing had something to do with this incident.
A test, perhaps?
It didn’t matter.
Once his strength was restored, anyone in Great Qian with even a hint of disloyalty would no longer exist.
