Princess Zhongshan lowered her eyelids slightly, ignoring their reactions. She spoke slowly to herself, "Although I am a woman, I was personally appointed Princess by His Majesty. I am my father's only legitimate daughter, and I am also half the master of Zhongshan State."

Xing Shi's whole body trembled, as if the door to a new world had opened at this moment.

That’s right!

They are narrow-minded. The princess is the princess of Zhongshan Kingdom and is also the blood of His Highness!

She comes from an orthodox family. As long as she can pacify Zhongshan and stabilize the country, what does it matter if she is a woman?

Xing Shi desperately wanted to change the status quo and the fate of his soldiers. He must not follow Yuan Sanlang in rebellion and cause innocent sacrifices. Surprisingly, he was the one who accepted it the fastest among the three.

Perhaps deep down in his heart, he had already been shaken, so he followed Yuan Wu to the royal tomb.

Although he was extremely conflicted and hesitant before, he suddenly became enlightened after learning that the princess wanted to succeed to the throne.

In the dark.

There were blurry shadows standing around, and their expressions were unrecognizable.

After saying that, the princess was actually very nervous, not knowing whether she could succeed.

She knew the girl was fully prepared.

Even if they fail to incite rebellion, they can still ensure the smooth implementation of their plan.

But she did not want to harm the lives of the two generals. They were both loyal to Zhongshan State and were good officials who loved the land and cared about the people.

The atmosphere around was weird.

From time to time, the howling of monsters could be heard from the bottom of the mountain.

They were talking quite loudly, but there was no movement in the camp not far away.

Did something unexpected happen to those one hundred guards?

General Chen stared at the blurry shadows swaying around, with a feeling of emotion that he had nowhere to vent, and ultimately just let out a sigh.

He is already old, and I don't know how long he has left to live.

He originally thought of muddling through, and would take his soldiers and stay at the back when something happened, letting the rest of the battalion rush to the front.

Now it seems that such an idea is unacceptable.

It's not his choice.

He did not have the trust of Yuan Saburo, and he was unwilling to humble himself to please him. The two vanguard battalions on the left and right were nothing but cannon fodder who led the charge for Yuan Saburo.

Suddenly learned the truth.

When he learned that the princess and the envoy were murdered, his mood suddenly changed.

General Chen changed his usual attitude and was the first to break the silence, "How confident are you, my lady?"

Princess Zhongshan even breathed lighter. Did General Chen agree?

General Chen: "I do not wish to see Zhongshan become a river of blood, nor do I wish to see my soldiers die without question. They should sacrifice their lives to protect this land, not die at the hands of their own people."

Xing Shi looked heavy-hearted and nodded subconsciously.

General Chen is right!

Today's Zhongshan can no longer withstand any consumption.

Upon hearing this, Princess Zhongshan turned around and looked at the girl on the hillside behind her. She was not completely sure. She had come back with the determination to seek revenge or die if she failed. All her confidence came from the girl.

In the dark night, a woman's sigh was heard.

When they heard other sounds, the three of them changed color slightly.

Apart from the princess, there was only one other woman on the mountain, Madam Wei.

It was not until this moment that General Chen, Xing Shi and others discovered that Madam Wei was also present.

Including Zhang Jian, the three of them all thought that the ambushes everywhere were carried out by Yuanwu's men and did not associate them with the Qinghe Wei family at all.

Zhang Jian's alarm bells rang.

The princess is confused!

The matter is of great importance. How can we let this arrogant Madam Wei eavesdrop on their conversation? If she lets something slip, it will sow the seeds of disaster!

Wei Xiyin said slowly, "Since ancient times, countless kings have ascended to power by stepping on a sea of ​​bones. You two may be thinking of the people and are willing to lend a helping hand to the princess, but how can you guarantee that the others won't resist to the death?"

"In the future, Zhongshan needs to work together to overcome natural disasters and man-made disasters, eliminate monsters, and restore people's livelihood. Even if it is to stabilize the fiefdom, rivers of blood are inevitable."

At least now, no one from the palace guard camp can be left behind.

"As for how confident I am?" she tapped her fingers and said calmly, "About 80%. The moon waxes and wanes, so we need to be humble."

General Chen, Xing Shi, and Zhang Jian were all stunned on the spot.

They didn't know if it was their illusion, but Madam Wei's tone of voice seemed to change suddenly. Her voice was neither hurried nor slow, calm and powerful, and she sounded like she was a completely different person from the one they had seen before!

Zhang Jian suddenly came back to his senses and couldn't help but gasp.

He was the first to realize that the Qinghe Wei clan actually wanted to interfere in the civil unrest in Zhongshan. What did they want to do?

This girl is obviously playing the pig to eat the tiger.

I wonder if their naive princess has been deceived!

General Chen had a different reaction, his heart in his throat.

How did Miss Wei leave the tent and come here?

Have his soldiers been silenced?

"You must be wondering why I'm here?"

Wei Xiyin seemed to have seen through their thoughts. "The Qinghe Wei Clan will never interfere in the future affairs of the Zhongshan Kingdom. We just want to ask the princess to borrow some people."

As she spoke, she turned to look in the direction where General Chen was standing, "General, don't worry, your hundred soldiers are all fine. My cousin is guarding there."

In order not to attract the attention of the monsters below the mountain, the camp did not dare to light a fire.

It was pitch black, so it wasn't difficult for her to leave the tent.

Those soldiers and palace maids, considering her personality, would never bring themselves to go near her tent.

"However..." Wei Xiyin suggested, "Since we are at the royal mausoleum, why don't the two generals follow the princess and go up to pay their respects?"

Zhang Jian understood.

He and General Xing hurried all the way here, and the soldiers under Yuan Wu were watching them closely.

Having practiced martial arts for many years, Zhang Jian is very sensitive to the aura of killing.

It goes without saying that there must be an ambush around.

If they are unwilling to surrender, they may not be able to leave alive tonight.

Miss Wei was afraid that they would pretend to surrender in order to escape temporarily, and then go back to denounce the princess, so she wanted them to swear an oath in front of the old prince's tomb?

really.

Wei Xiyin continued, "General Xing and Lieutenant General Zhang, make a decision quickly. You have to return before daybreak. If you continue to dawdle, and someone discovers you're not outside the city after daybreak, you'll be abandoned without warning. You won't be spared from a beating..."

Yuan Wu nodded slightly, the girl was really thoughtful.

I swear not to act rashly.

Once the oath is made in front of the old prince's tomb, it will be witnessed by the gods of heaven and earth. Unless the two generals disrespect the previous kings of Zhongshan and the gods, they will not be likely to betray the princess.

Xing Shi was silent for a moment, then took the lead in speaking, "Since we're at the royal tomb, we should naturally go and pay our respects."

General Chen sighed, "Please lead the way. The two of us will swear an oath before the old prince's tomb, pledging allegiance to the princess until death."

Seeing the two generals' clear attitudes, the princess's tense nerves relaxed slightly.

She took the girl as an example and has been studying the art of war these days, carefully thinking about every word she should say.

Whether it is to avenge his mother and brother, or to bring stability to the entire Zhongshan Kingdom.

With the example of other girls before her, she will definitely be able to do it!
