A debate ensued in the hall of the Qi royal palace.
Some ministers did not approve of what the king of Qi Guan Zhong was going to do.
The king began to defeat his selfishness.
Prince Qi Yuan continued to complain to his father to arrest Xia Jiao for his wife.
The king is now a dilemma to make a decision.
On the other hand, he wanted to grant his son's wish, but on the other hand he had to think about the future of his kingdom.
"Yuan! Father cannot obey Your will at this time, it will cause serious problems for our kingdom". Said the king to his son.
While in the room as well, there was the head of the Tjia family who was also one of the pillars of the Qi kingdom.
The middle-aged man felt that what the king said was baseless and that it was also a betrayal of a leader to a hero who fought for their kingdom.
"So! What are we going to do about the troops that are following Ma Guang right now?". Ask general Wang Xuesi.
"Let them leave the royal capital, because if we try to hold it in, it's the same as making the royal capital a battleground that will cause great losses to our kingdom". Saying a minister again.
Most of those present at the venue immediately agreed to what the minister said.
"Let them all go away from the royal capital, and if they're all outside the kingdom, we'll just send a bigger army to destroy them". Said a general.
"Sorry before! But what I heard was that, ten thousand troops from Lai kingdom alone, were able to be destroyed by their army which only numbered in the hundreds". Said a minister.
"That's very impossible, and most likely, it's just a strategy to mentally destroy the enemy forces, so it's big". Said the general again.
"Have you ever seen Ma Guang's ability?". Ask the king.
"Your highness! I've never seen the young man's ability!". Answer the general.
"I have no doubt about the information, because I have also seen the ability of the young man and also the ability of the troops he trained". Said the king.
"Never bother people close to him, because if it remains we do, surely he will easily destroy this capital of our kingdom just like he did in the capital of Yan kingdom". Said the king.
"Indeed, I have wrongly presented My wishes to him, for I thought that I was a king, and that My every wish would be approved by everyone. Yet he is such a man, that it makes My selfishness want to intimidate him". Say the king again.
Everyone who heard what the king said instantly fell silent and felt relieved, because the king did not impose his will.
While the prince of Qi Yuan, the general Wang Xuesi and also the generals who had never met Ma Guang were very unhappy with what the king said.
"All right! From now on, I hope that this matter will not be known by outsiders, and if this matter is known by outsiders, you will be the one responsible". Said the king.
Everyone present immediately replied in unison to reveal what the king had said.
Eventually they all dispersed from the place and returned to their respective residences.
The prince as well as the generals who had always supported him remained gathered in the hall of the prince's residence.
They still planned to kill Ma Guang and capture Xia Jiao as well as Yuan Jiali to become his wife and concubine.
"That means we have to send an intruder to kidnap every person who is precious to him, in order to force him to turn himself in". Said one of the generals.
"I don't think it's easy for us to do either, because as I know, the people around him have become holy warriors as well". General Wang Xuesi.
"What's? So the people closest to him have become holy warriors? A very terrible power". The general muttered his plan first.
"In that case, we should send someone to infiltrate and poison him. Maybe that's one way we can kill him and capture both women". General Wang Xuesi.
"We have to look for a very powerful poison that has no antidote to give him. Because if he only gave him ordinary poison, he would definitely be able to survive and be saved". Said the prince.
Finally they disbanded from the hall of the prince's residence. And the deal they agreed on was to find a mercenary swordsman who had high martial arts skills, and even better if a holy swordsman received the mission.
Ma Guang was now in the Daffodil Pavilion, already, and Ma Guang's troops were now standing guard in front of the pavilion and scattered in a radius of four hundred meters from the pavilion in anticipation of an onslaught approaching.
They had now started packing things to leave the royal capital.
After finishing packing their goods, they finally traveled to leave the royal capital.
The soldiers on patrol have now been recalled by the commander of the army in accordance with what the king of Qi Guan Zhong has ordered. So that the journey made by Ma Guang's entourage can leave the royal capital smoothly.
"We must be more careful with the situation we are experiencing tonight, because our group is too easy to leave the royal capital". Ma Guang.
"Quickly spread out and keep an eye on the situation along the road that we will go through". Ma Guang.
While Yuan Jiali is now back to meditate and tell the Su brothers to immediately be aware of any attack that will be launched by the Qi kingdom troops that have been assigned by the king.
After obtaining the information, Su Pang and Su Zheng directly watched over the area around their pavilion.
And sure enough, they found that there were some figures who were watching their movements.
It did not take long, the two brothers immediately shot up and killed the soldiers who were spying on them.
After finishing eliminating the eyes of the kingdom, they finally packed their goods and prepared to leave for the Yellow Bamboo sect.
While the people who work for them, continue their work and will report it to them in the city of Nanpi or even in the city of Qiantong and Laoling city, because the three cities were located near the Yellow Bamboo sect, and their security was also entrusted to the sect.
And that was the last hope for Ma Guang as well as his entourage.
If the three cities were more in favor of Ma Guang as well as the Yellow Bamboo sect, the Qi kingdom would get in trouble from within very seriously.
Because the position of the Yellow Bamboo sect is in the east which is directly adjacent to Pechili bay and to the west bordering the city of Nanpi and Qiantong.
So if the city of Laoling becomes a stronghold of the attack that will be launched from the south and assisted with the strength of Ma Guang's forces, Ma Guang, it would be very difficult to be penetrated by the attack of the Qi kingdom army.
As for Qiantong city as well as Nanpi city, both of them could become their strongholds in the western part.
And for all the disciples who were in the Yellow Bamboo sect could be in order to help also the troops who were in Nanpi city and in Qiantong city.
However, if the three rulers were more in favor of the Qi kingdom, it would be more difficult for Ma Guang's troops and the Yellow Bamboo sect to face. But if the number of holy warriors in the sect had increased by a lot, it would be very difficult to submit.
