Fang Zhou, I'm just a farmer, not Shennong!

And now, when the rumors come true one by one.

Marquis of Vals' heart was pounding, beads of sweat were gradually oozing out of his forehead, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

He used all his strength to look outside through the front window. He saw two people in front of him. They were wrapped in black uniforms, wearing special devices on their heads, and emitting black mist representing fear and death.

Vals's heart finally burst.

He screamed in fear.

However, his screams could not bring him any sense of security or vitality.

The inner guards moved.

They were even too lazy to use the power of fear collapse, but simply drew out the long swords from their waists that were made from the best of Ursus industry, and the shining blades reflected a sharp cold light.

Just a glance at such a cold light is enough to make one's eyes hurt and embody the feeling of death.

The vehicle was still rushing towards Neiwei.

This was his last act of resistance.

The inner guard simply raised his hand, waved it, and cut. The dark red blade light was like cutting tofu, and it easily penetrated into the special armor of the vehicle.

Bang!

The Marquis of Vals's vehicle was cut in half by the internal guards, and there was not even any explosion. The vehicle, cut in two, just lay casually in the snow.

The Marquis of Vals was thrown onto the snow by the huge inertia and rolled violently. His whole body was covered with snowflakes. When he raised his head, he saw that several of his loyal followers had been beheaded by the internal guards without even having the chance to speak.

Swift, decisive, and leaving no room for maneuver.

Even the corpses turned into black mud and were buried forever in the ground.

"I, I, I am a Marquis!! Marquis!!"

"Even if you're an internal guard, you can't do this to me!!"

Marquis of Vals roared madly and rolled on the ground, not even having the strength to stand up.

"If you kill me, have you ever considered the consequences?! Can you afford it?!"

Neiwei didn't even want to say a word.

He swung his long sword and knocked the Marquis of Vals unconscious with the back of the sword, then took him away and returned to the Castle of Saint Jun.

........

"Good trick! Good trick! Islam Witt! Good trick!!"

When the news reached the ears of all the nobles in favor of war, the leader of the war faction, the old Duke Francois Reina, actually laughed.

However, his smile was filled with coldness.

In the conference hall.

Viscount Kiffley, who was the fuse of everything, sat quietly in the corner, saying nothing, just trying his best to reduce his presence.

Due to the failure of the action.

This led to the Marquis of Vals being caught. The only thing to be thankful for was that the killer sent by the other earl was extremely professional and died very quickly, without leaving any clear clues.

But the arrest of Marquis de Vals also dealt another heavy blow to the war faction.

In the past, the pro-war faction always pressured the pro-peace faction through various means.

Once the main and distribution is difficult.

The war faction can immediately pull out the two classic statements, "The late emperor brought Ursus into its golden age through war" and "Ursus has been declining for the past 20 years without war", which can easily shut the peace faction up and leave them with no way out.

Always on the side of the adverse public opinion.

But now...

The peace faction actually started to fight back!

Even the Interior Ministry, which previously maintained a neutral position and stayed out of the competition between the two parties, is now taking more actions.

"Your Excellency, everyone, I believe that the reason Islam Witte and the Emperor are so tough is that they have discovered a way to revive the empire through peaceful means."

"The emperor is the emperor after all. He is the legitimate heir."

"When the winds of war are completely on the emperor's side, we, the war advocates, will have no chance at all."

Many pro-war nobles nodded.

As for the captured Marquis of Vals, although they had previously said they would abandon him without mercy, when everything happened, he definitely needed to be rescued.

After all, if the emperor really killed the Marquis of Vals, it would be two consecutive heavy blows to the pro-war faction, which would have a huge impact on the morale of the pro-war faction. By then, no one knows how many pro-war factions would defect to the neutral faction, or even the peace faction.

These are not what they want to see.

"I think the turning point of everything is obviously Lu Yuan!"

A noble stood up and hit the nail on the head.

"Before Lu Yuan arrived in Ursus, our pro-war faction had always been suppressing the pro-peace faction, and the emperor would only blindly tolerate and give in. What a coward."

"But after Lu Yuan came, everything changed!"

Another person said calmly, "Perhaps it was Lu Yuan's achievements in agriculture that gave the emperor hope for the revival of Ursus."

"After all, the current situation in Ursus, or rather, since the founding of the country, due to climatic reasons, the supply of food cannot be radiated to everyone."

"And now, the number of disaster victims is even greater."

"This Lu Yuan has arrived, bringing with him the most advanced agricultural technology. The yield might be many times higher than what we originally produced in Ursus. If Lu Yuan can really gain a foothold in Ursus, he might be able to solve the problem of hunger to a certain extent."

After hearing the noble's words, some of the nobles with lower titles present actually began to think about it.

This scene caught the eyes of the old duke and other high-ranking nobles who advocated war, and they were suddenly shocked.

The old duke immediately coughed.

“No need to say more…”

"How can the difficulties faced by a country as vast as Ursus be solved by just any person?"

"If that's true, then wouldn't it be that the late emperor and all the emperors of the past were incompetent?"

"This most intelligent, brave, and wise man in Doussus' history is not as good as a young man in his twenties?"

The old prince immediately closed the subject.

He didn't dare to talk about this in depth anymore.

For some reason, when he heard this just now, he really felt a little scared.

After all.

The entire pro-war faction is not a monolithic entity, and everyone has completely different ideas.

The pro-war leaders, led by the old duke, hoped to gain a lot of wealth and power through war. They might even be able to use the chaos to force Fyodor to step down and ascend to the throne they had always dreamed of.

This is what the war faction really thinks.

As for the revival of Ursus, they don't care at all.

If they could ascend the throne, they would pay attention to whether Ursus would be revived, but the probability of this happening is too low, so many of them only want to make money from the war.

And many of the capital aristocrats were attracted in this way.

But among the huge war faction, there are not only those who want to make money from the war, led by the old duke, but also some who really want to revive Ursus and bring Ursus back to its "golden age".

Because all of Fyodor's previous performances were so disappointing, they felt that only war could bring glory to Ursus.

Once these people find out that there are other ways to bring glory to Ursus, they might turn against us immediately.

That's why the old duke decided to end the topic immediately.

As for Lu Yuan.

Must kill!

Must die! !

The old duke already smelled danger from Lu Yuan.

Once Lu Yuan succeeds in letting the people and many nobles see the hope of the glory of the empire, the pro-war faction will not only lose its advantage, but will even cause the pro-peace faction to directly attack.

By then, the war faction will have a hard time.

But how to assassinate...

Many of the pro-war nobles present were in a dilemma.

Before this, they foolishly thought that assassinating Lu Yuan was quite simple, but now it seems...

Wrong...completely wrong!

In the view of these nobles, the failure of this assassination attempt was most likely because the emperor had placed people around Lu Yuan specifically to protect his safety. These people were very secretive and quite powerful.

Everyone only thought of one possibility...

Internal guard!

"It seems that Fyodor really regards Lu Yuan as the savior of Ursus, a father closer to him than the late emperor..."

Some nobles sneered.

It seemed to be mocking Fyodor, who was the first to lose his integrity as the Emperor of Ursus.

"Such a person not only insults the dignity of the emperor, but also the dignity of Ursus. How can he be qualified to continue to sit on the throne of the emperor!"

What this noble said was exactly what many nobles were thinking in their hearts. The pride in their hearts made it impossible for them to bow to anyone who was of lower status than them.

No matter how powerful this person is or how important he is to you, you must still maintain enough arrogance.

This is the pride and arrogance of the nobles themselves.

As for respecting the wise and humble, that's pure bullshit.

As a great noble, I am high and mighty. Why should I be polite to a person of low status? Even if this person is very capable, he should feel honored to serve me.

"So...what kind of action should we take to ensure the precise and unequivocal killing of Lu Yuan?"

A noble asked.

In fact, without them knowing it, they had gradually become a little anxious about Lu Yuan, whom they once despised, and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible to avoid future troubles.

Maybe it’s because he didn’t kill it this time.

Perhaps it was because Fyodor's attitude towards Lu Yuan was so good, so good that it was a little unexpected.

Although no noble said it out loud, many people knew it very clearly in their hearts.

Even if Fyodor is a fool, Speaker Witte is definitely not a fool.

If Lu Yuan did not have the real ability to change Ursus, they would not be so attentive.

Their diligence means everything.

Lu Yuan really has it!!

That's why they were eager to kill Lu Yuan.

The old duke pondered for a moment, as if trying to decide the pros and cons.

"Sending troops directly is impossible. It's the same as rebellion. A small-scale assassination is equally impossible. The Internal Guards are no pushovers. Besides, in Saint Jun Castle, besides the Internal Guards, there is also a large group of elite troops."

"Then... there are only two possibilities for success. When Lu Yuan leaves Saint Jun Castle, use a high-yield city-destroying Originium bomb to shatter him and everything around him..."

"Either we send individuals who are extremely powerful, even surpassing the inner guards..."

After the old duke finished speaking, everyone present became confused.

They have been sitting in this high and powerful position for many years. In the past, they could easily overthrow and assassinate even the great nobles. If there were no inner guards, they would even dare to assassinate the emperor.

I didn't expect that I would be troubled by a 'little Lu Yuan' now.

The first method is obviously not feasible.

Anyone with a brain would not leave Saint Castle at this time.

As for the second type...

Surpass the individual strength of the inner guards.

This is even more outrageous.
