Gu Xicheng looked at the ministers who were still chattering and laughing, completely oblivious to the impending crisis, and he frowned.
If the Capital City were to be breached, there would be two outcomes. One, they would be recruited and still employed. After all, they were all important ministers of the nation. However, they wouldn't be entrusted with significant power and would merely serve during a transitional phase. Once they were no longer needed, their fates would certainly not be happy. The other outcome was that they would be killed.
Gu Xicheng sighed heavily, looking up at the sky. Throughout history, no imperial city that has been breached has ever met a good end. Beneath a ruined nest, how can any egg remain intact?
With a heavy heart, Gu Xicheng walked towards the palace gate.
「In the Space.」
