Chapter 65 Personal Guard
Xue Ye got the news very quickly, almost at the same time as Di Hong. The Haagen-Dazs Kingdom did not tell the old emperor the news directly, but told Xue Ye instead, which was also a disguised token of surrender.

This also shows that the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom has completely broken with Xue Yu and stood on Xue Ye's side.

After learning that Xue Yu was going to rebel, Xue Ye immediately summoned his confidants and sent people to inform Di Hong and Ning Fengzhi.

Inside the Prince's Mansion.

A group of Xue Ye’s confidants gathered here. Ning Fengzhi sat on Xue Ye’s left, while Di Hong sat on his right.

I was originally thinking about how to guide Xue Ye, but I didn't expect that he would get the news so quickly, and the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom actually turned against us.

"Everyone, I just received news that my second brother Xue Yu will start a rebellion on the day of the hunting competition."

"What do you think we should do?"

Ning Fengzhi and Di Hong knew it just now, so they didn't react too much, but Xue Ye's confidants were very shocked.

"The Second Prince is going to rebel?"

"Then we must inform His Majesty immediately."

"We have to prepare early."

Everyone was talking about it. They really didn't expect that the emperor's son would actually dare to rebel. What right did he have to rebel? Just relying on the few soldiers he had?

All the Royal Knights and most of the Guards are under the control of the Emperor.

"The second prince has at most 30,000 soldiers under his command. What right does he have to rebel?" said a close believer.

Xue Ye chuckled. It was obvious that he was disdainful of his brother's rebellion. "He contacted the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom, hoping that they could secretly send troops to aid him, but the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom refused and informed me of the news."

"Everyone, tell me, how should we deal with this?"

Having said that, Xue Ye looked at Di Hong.

"You tell me first."

Di Hong looked at Ning Fengzhi and said with a smile: "I don't really understand these things. It's easy to make people laugh if I tell them. Brother Ning, please speak first."

Ning Fengzhi always has a smile on his face. Even though he is busy every day, his demeanor remains the same.

"The Second Prince is rebelling. I meant not to inform His Majesty."

"Why?" one person asked.

Ning Fengzhi explained: "Although we already know that the Second Prince will rebel on the day of the hunting competition, we don't have solid evidence, and your majesty will not believe it."

"Although your majesty doesn't believe it, we still have to make preparations in advance."

His meaning was simple. The emperor would not believe it, so there was no need to tell him. Besides, the emperor's health was getting worse and worse, and he really wouldn't live long. It was useless to tell him, and it might even backfire.

If Xue Yu rebelled directly in Tiandou City, it would be a big trouble. However, it would be different if he rebelled in the royal hunting ground. There were only troops there, no civilians, and no soul beasts, so there was nothing to worry about.

By then, I can concentrate on dealing with Xue Yu.

Moreover, through Xue Yu's rebellion, they can directly eliminate all of Xue Yu's forces. His power is very small, but it does not mean it is gone.

Everyone present was hoping that Xue Yu would rebel as soon as possible so that they could kill him directly.

As for the life or death of the emperor's son, what does it have to do with them? As long as Xue Ye sits on the throne, it's enough.

Xue Xing, who had been silent, suddenly asked, "How should we prepare?"

If they want to prepare, they must not let Xue Yu know, otherwise, he will definitely rebel in advance. If he occupies the palace and holds the emperor hostage, they will be passive. By then, the rebels will become the emperor's protectors, and the emperor's protectors will become the rebels.

Xue Ye sat there in deep thought. The power in his hands was too great now, and his every move could be easily discovered.

"How about we petition His Majesty and ask His Majesty to issue an order to transfer some of the Imperial Guards in the name of military training?" Di Hong came up with a solution that was not a solution.

They cannot act rashly, but that doesn't mean the emperor can't act. As long as the emperor orders the transfer of the Imperial Guards, it will be much easier. After all, the Imperial Guards will take turns to leave for a period of time every year in the name of training.

Therefore, transferring tens of thousands of guards is not a problem at all.

"Okay." Xue Ye nodded.

"There is another thing I am worried about. I am now more afraid that Xue Yu will collude with the local and border troops and let them come to Tiandou City."

"I don't think so." Ning Fengzhi shook his head.

"It is impossible to mobilize the hundreds of thousands of troops on the border. They have to guard against the Xing Luo Empire. Once they are mobilized, the Xing Luo Empire will definitely seize the opportunity to attack us."

"As for the local troops, the Second Prince does not have the power to mobilize them. The local troops are basically commanded by the city lords of each city. They only obey Your Majesty. Apart from Your Majesty and the Imperial Marshal, no one can mobilize the troops under their command."

"Unless he can offer huge profits."

"So the Second Prince only has 30,000 guards."

To be honest, Ning Fengzhi didn't take these 30,000 guards seriously at all. Just 30,000 people wanted to rebel. Without the help of powerful spirit masters, what could Xue Yu use to rebel? And all the powerful spirit masters of the empire, except those at the border, were controlled by the emperor.

Not to mention anything else, the commander of the Royal Guards is a Soul Sage-level soul master, and the commander of the Royal Knights is a Soul Douluo.

The Royal Knights have at least five hundred soul masters, and each soul master commands one hundred royal knights.

In addition to these, there is also the Imperial Soul Master Corps.

So, Xue Yu’s rebellion was a joke in his eyes.

Di Hong also thought this was a joke. The power of the Tiandou royal family had not suffered a devastating blow from Qian Renxue like in the future. Their strength was still very strong. Except for the lack of a Titled Douluo, they had everything.

This is why he had to carefully plan his rebellion. Compared to the power of the empire, the kingdom was too weak. Even the Barak Kingdom could not directly confront the empire.

Afterwards, everyone discussed how to deal with the hunting competition and Xue Yu's rebellion.

After finishing the discussion, they left.

Afterwards, Di Hong and Xue Ye went to the palace. Now Di Hong has almost become Xue Ye’s personal bodyguard.

Xue Ye was also afraid of death, but there were no powerful soul masters around him. Di Hong was extremely talented and was already a level 70 Soul Saint at a young age. Although he did not obtain the seventh soul ring or possess the seventh soul skill, no one dared to question his strength.

When he was a Soul Emperor, he could defeat Xingluo's Soul Saint by jumping thirteen levels. Now he is at level seventy. Below the Soul Douluo, basically no one can be his opponent. If he obtains the seventh soul ring, it is estimated that ordinary Soul Douluos will not be his opponent.

So no one is more suitable to protect Xue Ye than Di Hong.

This is good, he can better gain Xue Ye's trust and carry out their plan.

After entering the palace, Di Hong has been observing the situation inside the palace.

As he was walking, he suddenly saw a man in front of him.

"Xue Yu is here too."

Di Hong frowned slightly. Why did Xue Yu suddenly come to the palace at this time?
Could it be that he also wants to mobilize troops?
