Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

It should be noted that Xu Rong and Hu Zhen, who were captured, as well as Duan Wei, who had been an undercover agent for many years, would not be exposed as undercover agents. They would come out after Dong Zhuo's death, and at that time they would be the meritorious officials who persuaded Zhang Ji and others to surrender to the Great Wilderness territory.

Although there were many conflicts and contradictions between the Great Wilderness Territory and Dong Zhuo's camp, they were all struggles for the greater good, not personal grudges.

If Dong Zhuo were to truly die at the hands of Dian Wei, the Great Wilderness territory would not only bear an immense karmic burden, but would also incur the wrath of the generals of Xiliang. How would they then recruit them?!
The generals of Xiliang were dispatched to guard the area at such a crucial moment, yet they carried out their duties silently without complaint, proving their genuine loyalty to their lord, Dong Zhuo. If the Great Wilderness territory were linked to Dong Zhuo's death, the difficulty of retaking it would skyrocket.

Dian Wei's mind raced, but his expression remained impassive. He simply stroked the rim of his wine bowl and slowly asked, "Lord Situ, we had already finalized the original arrangements. Why did you change your mind just before the festival began? Aren't you afraid of something going wrong with this last-minute change?"

“That’s right… If the three of us surround and kill Dong Zhuo but fail to kill him in a very short time, and the Tongtian Black Dragon comes to our aid, wouldn’t all our plans have been in vain?” Zhao Yun nodded.

He didn't know the subsequent plans for the Great Wilderness Territory, but he could tell that neither Lord Lin Mu nor Dian Wei seemed to want to participate in the actual operation to kill Dong Zhuo!

Upon hearing this, Wang Yun frowned, a hint of anxiety appearing on his face. However, he remained quite polite to Dian Wei and Zhao Yun, saying softly, "I know that changing plans at the last minute is a major taboo, but it's unavoidable. Who could have imagined that Dong Zhuo's breakthrough speed would be so terrifying, making him a Heavenly General!"

“I know that the Tongtian Divine General is very difficult to deal with. Not to mention Lu Bu alone, even two Tongtian Divine Generals might not be able to take him down quickly. If we do not send more people now to try to kill him in one blow, there will definitely be future troubles and variables.”

Zhao Yun stood beside Dian Wei, his fingers lightly resting on the shaft of the newly summoned Dragon Gallant Silver Spear. His gaze swept over the guards behind Wang Yun, and he spoke softly, “Lord Situ, we two are individuals with rather unusual auras and appearances, and our destinies and positions in the world are special. Our sudden appearance on the altar—how could Dong Zhuo, with his suspicious nature, not see through our deception? If we alert him and he uses a teleportation device to escape, ruining the entire plan, who will bear the responsibility?”

Wang Yun was taken aback, then waved his hand: "You don't need to worry about this, nor do you need to take responsibility for it, and you don't need to worry that Dong Zhuo will see anything... The aura of destiny and the special oppressive force can be hidden. Dong Zhuo usually doesn't pay any attention to the guards or officials around him."

"You all change your clothes and use talismans to conceal your aura. Even if you're a bit burly, it won't matter. Even if Dong Zhuo is a god-like general, he won't notice anything amiss. Once the ceremony begins and Dong Zhuo ascends the altar to perform the rites, his entire attention will be on the ceremony. He won't be paying attention to any guards..."

"If you strike suddenly and catch him off guard, your success rate will increase by at least 70%!"

"Furthermore, I will also participate at that time. I will produce an imperial edict bearing the Imperial Seal of the State, which grants me absolute power, to suppress Dong Zhuo's momentum, subdue him, strip him of his title, remove him from his soft position in the imperial court, and completely cut off his escape route!"

"With the power of the Han Dynasty, is it easy to kill a commoner traitor?" Wang Yun said quietly.

An imperial edict bearing the Imperial Seal of the State, granting it absolute power?!
You should know that the Imperial Seal of the State has been missing for a long time... Imperial edicts bearing the seal of the Imperial Seal of the State have long been lost...

This sudden appearance... wait... could it be that Wang Yun has teamed up with Sun Jian?!
Or perhaps Sun Jian stamped the imperial edict?

Both men looked at Wang Yun strangely, and a blush crept across Wang Yun's face as they stared at him.

Their guess was correct; he had indeed partnered with Sun Jian.

However, Sun Jian insisted that he did not possess the Imperial Seal and could not be of any help. Later, for the sake of the greater good and to be able to participate in the assassination of Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian reluctantly stamped the seal…

Of course, the official explanation was that it was a blank, stamped imperial edict that had been found when they encountered a great calamity in Luoyang, the capital city.

Wang Yun was utterly ashamed at this... The Imperial Seal, this vital national treasure, had actually been controlled by these treacherous officials... How absurd!
He had secretly resolved that once he seized power, he would completely change the weak and helpless situation, and make Han strong and slaughter the feudal lords!
The two breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

With this imperial edict, Dong Zhuo's path to survival would truly be cut off!

The probability of killing Dong Zhuo will soar to 90%!
But Dian Wei knew in his heart that he couldn't be implicated in Dong Zhuo's death...

Wang Yun's request to borrow him from his lord Lin Mu was, in a way, intended to burden the Great Wilderness territory with some of the karma. While the karma of slaying the Heavenly Black Dragon could be borne, Dong Zhuo's could not…

Dian Wei said in a deep voice, "Lord Situ, with the imperial decree to suppress Dong Zhuo, and with two fierce generals, Lü Bu and Zhao Yun, leading the charge, we can definitely kill Dong Zhuo. This humble general will not compete for credit."

"At that time, I will stand by and watch out, just in case," Dian Wei said, taking a small step back.

Dian Wei not entering the game... How can that be... If Dong Zhuo, whose purple aura stretches for 30,000 miles, is killed, the karmic consequences he will bear will be immense, and Lin Mu will have to share some of the burden!
Dian Wei's refusal clearly indicated that he didn't want to take the blame, which explains why Lin Mu agreed so readily.

“Lord Situ, Dian Wei makes a good point. Besides, we don’t know if the Tongtian Black Dragon will be present the whole time. If it does appear, Dian Wei can try to distract it,” Zhao Yun said, trying to smooth things over.

“Alright!” Wang Yun knew he couldn’t force Dian Wei, so he took a step back and nodded, saying, “If the situation becomes urgent, General Dian Wei will have to step in.”

Dian Wei instantly understood that Wang Yun was afraid of getting involved in the karma and also afraid that Lü Bu would make a mistake, so he insisted on dragging him and Zhao Yun into the mess. No matter what the future plans were for the Great Wilderness territory, in Wang Yun's eyes, killing Dong Zhuo was the most important thing, and everything else had to take a backseat.

He looked up at Zhao Yun, and seeing Zhao Yun nod slightly, he stopped refusing and took the black armor and talisman: "Alright, since Lord Wang Yun has said so, then let's go. Let me make it clear beforehand, if anything unexpected happens later, don't blame us."

Wang Yun nodded upon hearing this: "As long as you can kill the traitor Dong Zhuo, you two will be meritorious officials. At that time, you can choose any of the titles of marquises. I will definitely recommend you to the Emperor!"

Good heavens, not only do they want the two of them to do their best, but they also want them to be loyal. Wang Yun's meaning is very clear: the emperor may summon the two of them to serve him in the future!

Dian Wei sneered inwardly, ignored the remark, and took the clothes.

"In that case, you two should take a bath and change your clothes first. I, the Minister, will continue with my work." Wang Yun resumed his aloof demeanor.

Watching Wang Yun's departing figure disappear at the entrance of the main hall, Dian Wei lowered his voice and said to Zhao Yun, "Zilong, don't rush in too recklessly when you make your move. Be careful. I'm really just standing by and watching without interfering. We can't bear the blood feud of Dong Zhuo."

“If Dong Zhuo dies, we will then begin to implement our plan to recruit and persuade the Xiliang army and its generals to surrender,” Dian Wei explained.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun nodded in understanding.

Not only did they intend to plunder the palace, steal its wealth and people, but they also planned to seize the legacy of Dong Zhuo's camp... How forward-thinking!

"My lord and the strategists gave me these instructions long ago," Dian Wei added.

Zhao Yun nodded in agreement: "I understand. We just need to keep the other officials who have sided with Dong Zhuo occupied. We can leave the real action to Lü Bu. Anyway, we are not Wang Yun's people and we have not signed any covenant with heaven and earth. Even if things go wrong, what can he do?"

"Hehe... Aren't you afraid he won't keep his promise? The path to becoming a Heavenly General is quite valuable."

“Gongtu, I have a feeling that Wang Yun might not keep his promise so easily. He… might use this to blackmail me and force me to serve him,” Zhao Yun said with great insight.

"Heh...that's quite possible." (End of Chapter)
