The so-called less than 30% meant that there was a high probability that this news was deliberately released by the enemy to confuse their morale.
Moreover, with Murong Yan's ability, he would not be caught so easily if he already knew the purpose of those people.
The men whom Long Tianhao had sent to follow him were not just for show.
Therefore, Lin Mengya also felt that the news was fake.
"Contact the secret agents in Dragon City immediately and ask them to do their best to protect Murong Yan. We must successfully rescue him from Dragon City.
From now on, all the forces in Dragon City will be under Murong Yan's command. "
Long Tianhao's order gave Murong Yan two options.
He could either come back under the protection of the people, or he could use the secret agents Long Tianhao had planted in Dragon City to mediate behind the enemy's back.
As a brother, Long Tianhao knew Murong Yan very well.
"I think he will definitely avenge his mother with his own hands," Lin Mengya said.
"As a man, if he can't avenge his mother, how can he be a man of indomitable spirit?"
Long Tianhao and Murong Yan had the same opinion on this point.
After receiving the news, Murong Yan did what Long Tianhao had expected.
He did not choose to retreat to a safe place. Instead, he took over all of Long Tianhao's forces.
On a dark and windy night, he sneaked into the palace where he had lived for more than 20 years.
Because of that person's arrogance, the security here was not very tight.
Moreover, even if that person guessed, he would never have guessed that Murong Yan, who was wanted by him all over the city, would be bold enough to sneak into his nest with his men.
Murong Yan brought his men and found his mother's residence first.
Looking at the desolation here, Murong Yan felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
"Young Master Yan, where are we going now?"
His subordinate asked while gesturing.
Murong Yan's eyes were burning with anger.
"To that person's palace."
The Chaotian Palace, which used to be brightly lit day and night, was now only left with a few flickering lights.
It was no longer the honorable scene it used to be. The servants who were in charge of serving the old emperor were all dozing off.
No matter how slow they were, their lives were no longer in danger.
The one inside was just a good-for-nothing.
The old emperor lay on the bed and sighed from time to time.
Mu Rongyan stood quietly in a dark corner.
He didn't even dare to believe that the old man in front of him was his high-spirited father.
"Get out of here! Even if I were to abdicate now, it wouldn't be up to you dogs of a slave to be despicable! "
The Emperor held on to his last dignity, but the footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer.
He turned around and glared at the person who came, but all the expressions on his face froze in an instant.
He trembled as he pointed at the man in front of him.
"Murong Yan! How could it be you! "
"Why does Father feel surprised? Or do you think that I should be killed by that bastard of yours? "
Murong Yan almost could not control the anger in his heart the moment he spoke.
"No, no, that's not what I meant!"
The old emperor looked as if he had seen an evil spirit. He wept bitterly and repented to him.
"I really didn't mean to reveal your whereabouts. Always.
That bastard. He sent people to spy on me and bribed the people around me. That's how he knew that you're back! "
The old emperor's affection for Murong Yan was even greater than that of his unfilial son, who had pushed him down from the throne.
This was because apart from feeling guilty for Murong Yan, he was also afraid of the Late Lord Ruler.
That's right. He already knew the truth behind the Late Lord Ruler's death. He also knew that his bastard son had bribed the people around the Late Lord Ruler to kill his wife.
The Emperor's tears fell like rain when he saw the coldness on Murong Yan's face.
"That's right. I didn't want to harm your mother at all. She and I have been through a lot. How could we not have feelings for each other over the past twenty years?
I didn't expect … I really didn't expect that I had nurtured a tiger all these years.
That little bastard, he stole everything from me! Child, I really didn't expect things to turn out like this. Believe me, I really didn't mean it! "
Faced with the Emperor's explanation, Murong Yan chose not to believe a single word.
"If you really value my mother so much, you shouldn't have chosen to do those things with the people around her!"
Murong Yan's anger was completely ignited.
"Do you know that it wasn't the schemes of these people or the poison that killed my mother? It was your heartlessness!"
Every word was squeezed out from between his teeth.
After returning to Dragon City, he found the old people who served his mother in the past through the help of the people Long Tianhao gave him.
These old people had been with his mother all her life. However, they were chased out of the palace by his mother for all kinds of reasons.
However, his mother didn't let them live and die on their own. Instead, she gave them a generous pension.
From their mouths, Murong Yan found out the truth of the matter.
How could a strong-willed person like his mother not notice his father's betrayal?
However, she didn't do anything because of her father's reputation.
She thought that even if his father raised the bastard son, it was because he didn't have many children.
She didn't expect that his father had already planned for this bastard son to inherit everything he had.
Murong Yan's heart ached when he thought of this.
He glared at this selfish and heartless man.
"Everyone in the world accused my mother of being cruel and heartless, but she gave all her tenderness to you!
Do you know that it was because she felt guilty towards you that she turned a blind eye to that illegitimate child?!
However, you were the one who didn't want your family to fall, so you wanted to secretly leave behind a bloodline.
You used me as a shield and my mother as a raft. My mother could tolerate all of that. However, you shouldn't have stabbed my mother in the chest when she was in despair! "
Murong Yan couldn't help but growl, which made the Emperor tremble.
He looked at his unfamiliar son in fear. "You, you knew everything?"
"Yes, I knew everything! Not only did you want to bring that woman into the palace, but you also wanted her to replace my mother's position!
Father, I really underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be so vicious in addition to caring for the world!
If it wasn't for my mother's advice, do you think you would be able to sit in this position? "
After being criticized by his own son again and again, the Emperor finally couldn't endure it anymore.
He revealed a pained expression and roared at his son in a low voice, "Do you think I wanted to face that cold face of hers every day?
Before the two of us got married, she knew what she was facing!
She knew what she was facing!
She did all of this willingly, and I never forced her to do it.
All these years, I knew that I had wronged her, so I respected her. Even when she ordered me around, I still endured it!
However, she actually wanted me to pass the position of the Emperor to you. This is the honor that my Murong family's ancestor obtained with great difficulty. I definitely can't let it be destroyed in my hands! "
"Do you think that everyone wants this position of the Emperor?"
Murong Yan had already lost his patience with the Emperor.
The lofty and glorious father image in his heart had already collapsed.
"From the beginning, I never wanted this position of the Crown Prince or the Emperor! If I could use it to exchange for my mother's life, then I would definitely do it without hesitation! "
"The reason why you can say such things is because you've never tasted power!"
The Emperor didn't comment.
Murong Yan felt that his father was already beyond redemption.
"Then you can rot quietly in this cage made of gold," the Demon King said coldly.
He said expressionlessly, then turned around to leave.
Only then did the Emperor panic.
He immediately reached out to grab Murong Yan and said with a pleading tone, "I was wrong, it's all my fault! Can you take me away as well? As long as you can take me away from here, I'll pass the position of the Emperor to you!
That unfilial son doesn't have my jade seal, so he can't even be considered a proper Emperor.
As long as you have the jade seal, his subordinates will definitely betray you! "
Looking at his father, who was still trying to use power to tempt him, Murong Yan only felt disgusted.
"You should just hold on to your jade seal and slowly suffer here."
He said with a cold smile.
The Emperor's expression froze.
He could only look at his son's back unwillingly.
However, the reason why he didn't shout was not because he still had expectations for Murong Yan.
He was mumbling with a gloomy face.
"Go ahead and fight. After both of you are injured, I'll still take back my position! This position belongs to me, and none of you can touch it! "
Murong Yan heard the somewhat crazy voice coming from inside, and there was no trace of emotion on his face.
The servant who was in charge of guarding the Emperor came to take his luggage.
"Greetings, Childe Yan."
He was also Long Tianhao's spy in the Imperial Palace.
"What did that person say when he came to look for the Emperor?"
"Every time that person came, he would send us away. I only heard that he seemed to want the Emperor to hand over something."
The servant's words made Murong Yan a little confused.
"Is it the jade seal?"
"It doesn't seem like it. From the day the old Emperor was forced to abdicate, the jade seal was already in that person's hands. "
Hearing this, Murong Yan couldn't help but think of what the old Emperor had said just now.
It turned out that even this was used to deceive him.
He couldn't help but feel a little depressed, but he soon adjusted himself.
"Since it's not the jade seal, what could it be?" he asked.
The attendant said, "Could this lowly one's guess be that it has something to do with Her Highness?"
"What do you mean?"
"This lowly one remembers that on the first night that person broke into the Imperial Palace, he personally sent people to search the Empress Dowager's palace for an entire night. After that, he brought people to interrogate the Empress Dowager. It seems that because he didn't find anything, he flew into a rage.
