"Your Majesty, if we were on the battlefield today, I would naturally fight to the death for the Sacred Tang. But the current situation is not beyond mediation. Chen Xuan has broken into the palace solely for my daughter, Feng Yue. While her strategic value is immense, is it worth the fall of the entire Sacred Tang just for her sake? My daughter does not need to be on the battlefield for our Seven-Nation Alliance to contend with Jiuge, the Yunqin Martial Dynasty, and the Radiant Martial Dynasty. Therefore, I believe there is no need to push today's events to a life-or-death confrontation."
Feng Junji’s words highlighted his cold, calculated logic. He did not need to concern himself with the dignity of the Emperor or the reputation of the Sacred Tang as Li Longyuan did. Dying alongside Li Longyuan in the Linde Hall would be foolish and impulsive; apart from a good reputation after death, nothing would be left.
However, Feng Junji’s persuasion did not sway Li Longyuan’s resolve. As the reigning Emperor of the Sacred Tang, Li Longyuan valued his prestige above all else. He did not look at Feng Junji again, his gaze shifting past the crowd to fix on Yuankui at the entrance. "My loyal minister, it seems you are the only one left to live and die with me."
