Chapter 232: The Battle in the Palace
Although Lin Feng and others temporarily gained the trust of the Emperor, the undercurrent in the Star City Palace had not subsided.
In a corner of the palace, several ministers were gathered together whispering.
"Lin Feng and his ilk have been very popular recently, and the Emperor has great trust in them. This is not a good thing for us." A minister with a mustache said worriedly.
"Hmph, they are just a bunch of young guys who rely on a bit of luck." Another fat minister snorted disdainfully.
"Don't underestimate them. They have made great achievements in the battle against the dark forces. Now the emperor listens to them and our position is in jeopardy." A thin-faced minister said with a frown.
"Then what should we do? We can't just sit there and wait for death!"
"Why don't we find a way to discredit them in front of the Emperor and make him doubt them again."
"That's a solution, but it has to be done subtly so the Emperor can't notice."
At this time, Lin Feng and others were completely unaware of these conspiracies in the palace.
One day, the Emperor summoned everyone to discuss how to fight against the forces of darkness.
"Lin Feng, tell me, what should we do next?" asked the Emperor.
Lin Feng stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Emperor, I think we should send out more spies to find out the distribution and movements of the dark forces, and then formulate a detailed battle plan."
"Well, this plan is feasible." The emperor nodded.
Just then, a minister stood up.
"Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate. Lin Feng's plan is too risky. If the spies are discovered and the enemy is alerted, the consequences will be disastrous."
Lin Feng frowned, "Sir, if we don't understand the enemy's situation, how can we know ourselves and the enemy?"
"Hmph, you are just making excuses!" the minister retorted.
Wang Meng couldn't help it, "You old man, you are obviously looking for trouble on purpose!"
"How dare you! How dare you be so rude in the court!" the minister shouted angrily.
"Okay, stop arguing!" The emperor's face darkened.
Seeing this, Zhao Xue quickly said, "Emperor, please calm down. Lin Feng is also determined to fight against the dark forces, but his method may be questionable."
"Your Majesty, I have another plan." Another minister stepped forward. "We can strengthen the city's defenses and use defense as an offensive measure."
Lin Feng said: "Although this plan is safe, it is too passive. The dark forces will not sit idly by and wait for death."
"What do you know!" The minister glared at Lin Feng.
For a time, there was endless debate in the court and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
The Emperor rubbed his temples and said, "Shut up!"
Everyone fell silent instantly.
"Lin Feng, think about it again and think about how to make a comprehensive plan." said the Emperor.
Lin Feng responded, "Yes, Emperor."
After the meeting, Lin Feng and others walked out of the palace with heavy hearts.
"These ministers are clearly targeting us on purpose." Wang Meng said angrily.
Lin Feng sighed, "The struggle in the palace is far more complicated than we imagined."
Li San said: "We must be careful and not let their conspiracy succeed."
Ling'er nodded, "But, what should we do?"
Lin Feng pondered for a moment, "We still have to focus on fighting against the forces of darkness and prove our worth with concrete actions."
However, things were not that simple. The ministers kept slandering Lin Feng and his companions in front of the emperor, trying to sabotage their plans.
One day, Lin Feng received news that the spy they were about to send out was secretly blocked by someone.
"It must have been done by those ministers!" said Wang Meng.
Lin Feng clenched his fists. "They disregard the overall situation for their own benefit. How despicable!"
Zhao Xue said, "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to find a way to expose their conspiracy."
"But will the Emperor believe us?" Ling'er said worriedly.
"No matter what, we have to give it a try." Lin Feng said with a firm look.
So, Lin Feng and the others decided to meet the Emperor again...
