God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

"I know the Yuan family is very powerful," Liu Yao said calmly about the Yuan family.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ye hadn't even had a chance to nod in agreement when he heard Liu Yao continue, "But I also know that the Yuan family is very weak."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ye's eyes flashed with surprise, along with some confusion, and his expression was quite complex.

"How did you come to this conclusion?" Liu Ye took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible, "In terms of background, the Yuan family has been in high office for four generations. In terms of connections, they can reach all parts of the country. In terms of strength, they dominate a region and have ample troops. It is understandable that they are powerful, but how can you say they are weak?"

Is the Yuan family really weak?
How is that possible?

If he were truly weak, how could he have been unable to do anything for so long? He could only resort to various schemes to continuously weaken the opponent and force them into a safe zone.

“Strength and weakness are relative. I think he is strong because I am too weak, that’s all.” Liu Yao looked up at Liu Ye and added calmly.

Liu Ye was stunned for a moment, looking at Liu Yao with a strange expression, and finally slowly nodded.

Indeed, in a sense, that is true.

"But that's the truth. So how can you become stronger, and how can you change the power dynamic between the two sides?" Liu Ye, who was already more curious, slowly sat down on the other stone bench, holding his tea and politely asking.

“I don’t need to force myself on the other party.” Liu Yao shook her head gently, her eyes filled with certainty.

"I don't need to be stronger than the other party?" Liu Ye, who forgot to activate his mental talent to avoid wasting time thinking within it, directly asked his question.

The two sides are not in a unique cooperative or competitive relationship. If there are any problems, just ask directly, since it won't affect the interests of either party.

Moreover, as a smart person, Liu Ye knows that at times he needs to consider himself less intelligent in order to gain more confidence.

“To kill someone, you don’t necessarily have to be stronger than them. Being strong doesn’t mean you can’t die, and being weak doesn’t mean you can’t kill.” Liu Yao made no attempt to hide the murderous intent in her words.

"That's true. A common man's anger can lead to bloodshed, but you wouldn't do that, would you?" Recalling the assassins' actions in his mind, Liu Ye rubbed his temples and asked with some caution.

If it were a princess who used assassin methods, then the matter would be far from trivial.

This is a big problem for both Liu Yao and Yuan Shu.

Under normal circumstances, this trouble would not have much of an impact on him, and might even have been beneficial. It would be good enough if he didn't obstruct it or even strongly encourage it.

However, this situation is not acceptable, especially since he also holds a position in the Imperial Clan Court, which would implicate him.

As a princess, she is already under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Clan Court. If such a thing were to happen, the dereliction of duty alone could cause her, who was already on the periphery of the core area, to be completely removed from the core area.

As for Yuan Shu after doing this, whether he lives or dies, he will basically be severely injured.

Judging solely from the final outcome, Liu Yao, who actually did this, seemed completely unconcerned. Whether from a public or private perspective, there's not much to condemn.

As for stopping Liu Yao, Liu Ye had no hope of doing so, and didn't even have a reason to persuade her.

The reason is simple: Chen Wang died at the hands of Yuan Shu, which, in a sense, was similar to assassination.

If Yuan Shu can do the first day of the month, why can't Liu Yao do the fifteenth?

How can this be?

It was precisely because of this possibility that Liu Ye sensed trouble.

"Don't worry, I won't do that." Liu Yao looked at Liu Ye, who was worried, and reassured him. She then added, "Although I have no ties, I want to achieve my goal, not gamble on a possibility through such means, unless all other methods are not feasible."

Given other, more successful methods, Liu Yao would naturally not resort to this last resort.

Assassination is extremely difficult to carry out using only certain methods and techniques.

Because the protective forces surrounding Yuan Shu were not fake, and in most cases they wouldn't even be able to get close to Yuan Shu, they might have already died on the spot.

The only real opportunity to get close to Yuan Shu and assassinate him would probably be at a grand court assembly.

Only under such special court assemblies would Yuan Shu's personal defensive capabilities be reduced to the minimum, or even without any other personnel to protect him, thus giving him a chance to succeed.

However, this does not mean that success is guaranteed at the Grand Assembly; on the contrary, it will still be quite difficult.

On the one hand, it is difficult to bring weapons to the grand court assembly; on the other hand, there is the issue of individual combat strength.

In terms of personal martial prowess, Yuan Shu was somewhat lax and arrogant, but he was still a scion of a noble family and a general. No matter how lax or careless he was, his martial prowess was still superior to that of a weak woman.

It can be said that in that situation, there was basically only one chance to carry out an assassination, only one chance to swing the knife.

Once the other party realizes it, there will be no more chances.

"It's best not to do that kind of thing. If you really do it at the Grand Court Assembly, you'll only be targeted by His Majesty. Even if you're a princess, it won't change that. You might even be targeted by other powerful families, and the power of the Han imperial clan will be somewhat restricted." Liu Ye sighed and further rejected the idea of ​​carrying it out.

"So, I was just too weak. If I could be like Your Highness, commanding 100,000 elite troops, fully armored and ready to fight, and directing them with ease, how many people in the world could stand in my way if I wanted to take revenge? Even Yuan Shu would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot." Liu Yao's words were tinged with admiration and envy.

Because she understands Liu Tong, Liu Yao is able to better recognize the gap between them. Even though the age difference between them is not large, the gap in their abilities is enough to make one feel despair.

Yuan Shu was indeed very strong, but compared to Liu Tong, he was nothing special.

The safest way to get revenge is to take up a jade sword and lead an army straight to the enemy's doorstep. What can't be done then?
“But with your wealth and logistics, even if I help you, you can’t possibly build such a large army.” Liu Ye shook his head and softened his tone, saying, “Moreover, for this country, such a large-scale army attacking from within is not good for the country, nor is it good for us, the members of the Han imperial family. If you really do this, I’m afraid no one will support you…” (End of this chapter)
