0For the next two or three days, the entire Fengjue Country Capital City seemed unusually quiet. The army of Yuan Feng Country was stationed outside the city, but there were still no signs of them attacking the city. As for the defending troops in the city, they only watched every day. They didn't intend to leave the city, as if both sides had reached some kind of tacit agreement. They just stood there quietly like that.    

    

However, some of the people in the city could feel the undercurrents surging under this quiet atmosphere. It was as if something big was going to happen at any time, especially those guards on the city wall. They had been active for the past few days, as if they were preparing for something.    

    

"Your Highness, I have heard that General Yan, who is in charge of guarding the city gate... We will leave the camp tonight and return home, this is a good opportunity for us to make a move!" On this day, the trusted aide of Fourth Prince came to Fourth Prince and said to him.    

    

"Is the news true?" Fourth Prince asked anxiously.    

    

In the past few days, Fourth Prince had been really anxious because he couldn't take the initiative to fight outside the city. He could feel that the princes in the city were getting more and more active. Although he didn't put those people in his eyes, however... After all, they were still princes.    

    

What Fourth Prince couldn't stand the most was that those princes... Fourth Prince knew that they had been in constant contact with his subordinates during this period of time. Not all of his subordinates approved of him in their hearts. Most of them respected him because they had accepted Old Emperor's orders. That was why they obeyed his orders.    

    

And now, the other princes were making frequent contact with the generals. If he wanted to rope those people in, it would be fine if he took a shorter period of time. However, if a longer period of time passed, it was very likely that some of the generals would be roped in by the other princes. Therefore, Fourth Prince had to do something as soon as possible.    

    

The best way to deal with this situation was undoubtedly to get in touch with this war with Yuan Feng Country as soon as possible. They would end this war in the way they won. In that case, the other princes wouldn't have the chance to win over those generals. And with this result, he would be able to gain the approval of the generals. The most important thing was to gain the recognition of Old Emperor. At that time... There wouldn't be any princes who could threaten him.    

    

However, the Yuan Feng Country had been staying put, and Fourth Prince's side was stuck in the city. Therefore, even if he really wanted to have a fight with the army of the Yuan Feng Country, he wouldn't be able to do it.    

    

According to his and the advisor's plan, they had to eliminate the general named Yan who was sent by Old Emperor to guard the city gate first. After that, they could take control of the city gate. However, they would be able to lead the army out of the city and defeat the unprepared army of Yuan Feng Country.    

    

However, during these few days, General Yan had been staying in the military camp. Fourth Prince had also tried to see him, or perhaps he had asked him to come see him. However, he refused to see anyone. As for the summons from Fourth Prince... He had also refused to protect the city gate as it was a matter of great importance, and as such, he could not leave the camp without permission. If Fourth Prince had any orders, he could directly pass them on to the soldiers.    

    

To put it bluntly, that General Yan was someone that no one could see, not even Fourth Prince. Because of this, although Fourth Prince had already decided what to do, he had never had the chance to do it.    

    

Of course, Fourth Prince could also lead his troops to attack that camp, but... Not to mention whether they could fight it or not, even if they did, they could still fight it. It was very likely that the other party would have slipped away long ago. And then... ... He still had to endure Old Emperor's fury. Obviously, the loss outweighed the gain.    

    

Now, the opportunity had finally come. That General Yan was finally going to leave the camp, giving Fourth Prince the chance to seize and even kill him.    

    

"The news is true!" The advisor said, "This is the news that I spent a lot of money to obtain. That General Yan, at this time every week... He always comes home to see his wife and son. And tonight, is the time for him to go home! "    

    

This aide was very concerned about this matter. Although they hadn't had a chance during this period of time, but, he has always been trying hard to find or create opportunities... And now, he really did find this opportunity.    

    

"Furthermore, every time that General Yan returns home, he secretly returns home. He won't bring too many guards with him. Your Highness, this is our best chance!" The advisor said to Fourth Prince.    

    

When Fourth Prince heard this, his face was also very excited. After waiting for so long, he finally got this opportunity!    

    

Actually, it was not strange that General Yan would secretly return home. His position was not low. At the city gate, there was no one who could control him. If he missed home, he would secretly return. No one would say anything. As long as Old Emperor didn't know about it, it would be fine. After all, this was a critical period of war. If he left his post without permission, Old Emperor might get angry. So... Even if General Yan went home, he would still go back secretly. The next morning, he returned to the camp.    

    

Of course, Fourth Prince would not choose to report General Yan to Old Emperor. It would not do him much good. Now, Old Emperor trusted General Yan so much. Even if he knew that General Yan had secretly returned home, just like how General Yan had closed the city gate. He didn't give the army outside the city a chance to enter the city. He didn't receive any severe punishment from Old Emperor.    

    

Therefore, Fourth Prince didn't have the intention to complain at all this time. Instead, he wanted to use this opportunity to kill that General Yan. After that, he would place a crime on that General Yan. Then... Everything would be carried out according to their previous plan.    

    

"This is a good opportunity!" Fourth Prince said, "How about this, quickly bring some men to ambush midway. This time, we must kill him. Don't let anyone lead the team. I don't believe that this time, you will lead the team yourself. You must kill him!"    

    

Fourth Prince had always been concerned about the fact that he had a spy by his side. Although it was very difficult to find a spy within a short period of time, however, he could always keep an eye on the spy, not letting the spy know about his actions. And this aide in front of him was clearly a suitable candidate to be trusted.    

    

"Yes! Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely complete this task!" The advisor promised.    

    

This was an opportunity, as long as he could successfully kill that General Yan. After that, he would go out of the city and defeat the army of Yuan Feng Country outside the city. Then... Their side would definitely win, and Fourth Prince would definitely become the next Emperor. And he had played an important role in this process. He believed that Fourth Prince would never forget it.
