CHAPTER 711: 438

"Listen to me, thank you.

Because of you, I’ve been disgraced.

How could Lu Yu, with his old treachery and cunning, not understand the profound implications of Tang Fei’s actions?

Regardless, Zhong Daolong is Phoenix’s father.

To push one’s girlfriend’s biological father out as a cannon fodder...

Such things...

Can be done, must not be said.

He still has designs on the girl, naturally, he wouldn’t want to strain the relationship too rigidly.

It would become a dead end, impossible to resolve.

Thus, the old man has become the perfect scapegoat.

Just look, look, this is exactly something that sly and cunning old man would do.

I, pure as the driven snow...

How could I devise such a malicious plan?

Understand though I do, I still have to carry the blame.

The old man nodded, then said to Yan Jinnian, "Do as he says."

"..." Tang Fei.

The old man has no good intentions.

How can he say to do as I say?

It was clearly according to your plan, your idea... what does it have to do with me, Tang. Pure and innocent. Bandit?

Yan Jinnian looked at Tang Fei with contempt, then turned and walked away.

She’s not stupid, of course, she knows whose idea it is.

Daring to do but not to admit.

But still, this way out of the predicament is really... shameless.

Shen Xinglan stood at the main entrance of Phoenix City, with Chen Shencong, the commander of the Fire God Army, and a group of generals and strategists accompanying him.

Although Chen Shencong had the highest rank on the scene, he positioned himself very ’properly’.

Completely centering on Shen Family’s young master, whatever he said to do, they did, and they acted whenever he said to.

The order issued by the Military Minister was for Shen Xinglan to lead the Fire God Army to capture the Phoenix Palace, not for him, Chen Shencong, to lead the Fire God Army to capture the Phoenix Palace.

Clearly, Lord Military Minister wanted to cultivate his own grandson.

If one could establish military exploits in such a key battle, wouldn’t the status within the family become even more stable in the future?

Not only that, given the rise of the Shen Family now, if they really supported a puppet King, what difference would there be between the Shen Family Master and a behind-the-scenes Emperor?

Given time, when the Shen Family cleared all barriers and took over completely, Shen Xinglan could possibly become the Emperor.

Chen Shencong was thinking even further ahead.

Therefore, he must hold on to this robust thigh tightly and securely.

"Young master, from which direction should we launch the assault?" Chen Shencong asked respectfully, like a young team leader out of the gate for the first time.

Shen Xinglan gazed at the majestic palatial entrance before him, filled with countless emotions.

He had walked within the palace since he was a child, very familiar with every blade of grass and every tree inside the Phoenix Palace.

He never thought that one day it would be destroyed by his own hand.

How unpredictable life is.

"Let’s attack from the main gate," Shen Xinglan concealed his dejected emotions and finally uttered, "Surround the three gates, attack one. Focus our forces, and with a surge of effort, break into the Phoenix Palace."

"Yes, as the young master says." Chen Shencong nodded, then immediately gave orders to his deputy, "Attack the main entrance, surround three and attack one."

"The young master has said, concentrate our forces and break into the Phoenix Palace with a surge of effort. The first one to break through the palace will be heavily rewarded."

"Yes, commander!" the deputy responded and began to mobilize the troops and generals.

Shortly after, the deputy came back to report, "Commander, all preparation is complete. We can launch the attack at any time."

"Young master?" Chen Shencong turned to look at Shen Xinglan, waiting for his command.

Such an important moment had to be led by Shen Xinglan himself.

"Begin," Shen Xinglan nodded.

Although he disliked being in a position of authority, the feeling of commanding thousands of troops to obey and rush to their deaths for him was indeed quite good.

This is how a man should be!

"Yes, prepare to attack the city."

Just then, a Flying Car slowly rose up at the inside of the Phoenix Palace’s main gate.

On the black Flying Car, stood two exceedingly dazzling men.

The reason for their brilliance was due not only to their appearance and aura but also to their special identities.

One was Zhong Daolong, dressed in white court apparel with gold trim, emphasizing his status as the King, dressed meticulously before being ’invited’ onto the Flying Car as if he were dressed for an annual ancestral worship or national celebration.

Zhong Daolong was well-dressed but felt stifled inside.

As the ruler of a nation, he had never done something this embarrassing in his life.

He would rather be killed with a single stroke or even die at his own son’s gun...

But not do this foolish act.

To kill a man does not extend beyond his head.

Such behavior is really...

Despicable and shameless!

An emperor’s image, thus ruined in an instant.

He too had refused, he’d rather die than do such a thing.

But, they had injected him with the ’zombie’ drug.

Except for his mind, he couldn’t move his body at all.

Like a zombie, manipulated by others.

It was already early winter, and the area above the Phoenix Palace was slightly cold.

But, what was colder was his heart.

His heart.

He would rather it were dead.

If it were dead, it wouldn’t be cold, it wouldn’t hurt.

The other was the beautiful young man Xie Pianxian wearing flowing white robes, who had been arranged to take the ’beautiful’ job of bringing Zhong Daolong into the sky.

After all, Zhong Daolong was of noble identity, and Tang Fei and his people were worried about someone making a move to snatch him from the outside.

With a Grandmaster guarding his side, he could handle various emergencies.

But, because he was really too handsome.

Sitting on the Flying Car with no top cover, he looked like a ’fairy’ descending to earth, stunning beyond measure.

Tang Fei always thought Bai Wuxin was good-looking, but compared to Xie Pianxian...
