Su Lichen looked at the Prince of Jin.

Prince Jin also looked at Su Lichen.

At this stage, both of them believe that the other is the mole.

Upon seeing the third time, the two suddenly spoke:

"It wasn't me!"

"It wasn't me either!"

"..."

The two then exchanged a glance and said in unison, "A spy?"

The Prince of Jin nodded and looked around: "I'm afraid."

In fact, there are many objects of suspicion.

Kadan? King Xiang? Or the leader of Qingyang Sect?

Or one of the soldiers around him?

The Prince of Jin couldn't be sure, and neither could Su Lichen, because at this point, they could no longer trust anyone, always feeling that everyone might have ulterior motives.

After a while, the Prince of Jin laughed and said, "Judging from Qi Junguang's posture, he doesn't seem to be afraid of us at all, and seems to be determined to win!"

"Yes, he has the Silver Thread Army, so he's confident!"

Su Lichen echoed this sentiment.

"snort!"

At this moment, the Western Frontier King Kadan sneered and said, "What is the Silver Thread Army? In front of our heavy cavalry regiment, they are not worth mentioning and are easily defeated!"

Whether it was the Southern Qi Silver Thread Army, the Western Frontier Heavy Cavalry Regiment, or the Anguo Jinghong Iron Cavalry, they were all elite troops with illustrious reputations and widespread fame, and these people looked down on each other.

The Southern Qi and Western Xinjiang were separated by the An Kingdom, so the Southern Qi Silver Thread Army and the Western Xinjiang Heavy Cavalry Regiment had never clashed. However, this did not prevent them from looking down on each other. Now that the Western Xinjiang Heavy Cavalry Regiment had the opportunity to confront the Southern Qi Silver Thread Army head-on, Kadan was already eager to get started.

"It seems that King Kadan is getting impatient?"

"The Western Frontier Heavy Cavalry Regiment is ready to be deployed at any time!"

"OK!"

The Prince of Jin clapped his hands and raised his voice twice as loud: "Since the Southern Qi is so confident, then today I will show them what it means to fight a losing battle with an egg, and what it means to overestimate one's own strength!"

He said this intentionally to a spy in the crowd who was trying to tip him off. The Prince of Jin didn't care who he was because he didn't take them seriously at all.

"Come on, let's go out and take a look!"

...

The east gate of Jingzhou was opened.

Prince Jin, Su Lichen, Kadan, Prince Xiang, and the leader of Qingyang were the first to ride out of the city, followed closely by the Western Frontier Heavy Cavalry Regiment. The soldiers defending Jingzhou and the Jinxi Army lagged behind, and these soldiers had the most relaxed expressions, as if they were not needed at all in the upcoming great battle.

Meanwhile, the Silver Thread Army on the opposite side was not idle either. Just as Prince Jin and his entourage were moving forward, the Silver Thread Army had already set up a defensive formation, with shields arranged in a dense and impenetrable array. The soldiers standing at the front of the shields brought out black iron tube-like weapons.

Upon seeing this, the Prince of Jin laughed and said, "The Southern Qi has quite a few rare things. Using an iron tube as a weapon is unheard of!"

The Qingyang Sect Leader chimed in, "Southern Qi has fewer warriors and scholars than Anguo, but Southern Qi has many skilled craftsmen, especially adept at making various tools. Prince Jin should not underestimate them."

The Qingyang Sect Leader's words were true. The people of Nanqi are more practical. For example, the Silver Thread Robe was developed by them. However, the Prince of Jin scoffed at this. He is now a Grandmaster and has tens of thousands of troops behind him. What does it matter if he underestimates Nanqi?

At this moment, the shields formed by the Southern Qi Silver Thread Army parted, and the Third Prince of Southern Qi, Qi Junguang, rode out on horseback. However, he stopped when he was still several hundred meters away from Prince Jin and his men.

"Prince Jin, what is the meaning of bringing so many people here?"

Qi Jun asked in a loud voice.

Before the Prince of Jin could reply, Su Lichen said directly, "Don't you understand what I mean? If you dare to act presumptuously in Jingzhou, you should be prepared to be defeated by us!"

Qi Junguang glanced at Su Lichen, his eyes full of disdain, and he didn't even bother to say another word to him. He asked again, "Prince Jin, didn't we agree on this before? Are you planning to go back on your word?"

"..."

The Prince of Jin did not answer, while Su Lichen was already burning with anger.

He was indeed feeling frustrated as emperor. He hadn't even abdicated in favor of the Prince of Jin yet, but the third prince of Southern Qi already disregarded him and wouldn't even glance at him, as if he had already decided that he was untrustworthy.

This is absolutely outrageous!

At this moment, Su Lichen felt even more that his suggestion to the Prince of Jin was too perfect. Rather than being a vassal king in Anguo and being controlled by the Prince of Jin, it would be better to go out and be a vassal king in Southern Qi!

The territory of Southern Qi is not much smaller than that of Anguo. Being a vassal king in Southern Qi is not much different from being an emperor, and you don't have to listen to the gossip in Anguo's court. Isn't that great?

He felt that this was the best option he could have after having to abdicate the throne!

And most importantly now, Qi Junguang is arrogant and looks down on people. After the Southern Qi Silver Thread Army is defeated and Qi Junguang is captured alive, let's see what he has to say!

Even if he conquered Southern Qi and became a vassal king, he decided not to kill Qi Junguang, but to keep him by his side and make him his dog!

"So what if you go back on your word?"

Su Lichen became more and more excited as he thought about it, and he also couldn't let Qi Junguang talk to the Prince of Jin any more, lest he change the Prince of Jin's mind.

"Going back on your word... then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"..."

After Qi Junguang finished speaking, there was a moment of silence on the Prince of Jin's side, followed by a burst of laughter. Su Lichen even laughed until tears streamed down his face.

"Heartless to your subordinates? You? You dare to say that?"

Qi Junguang glanced at him, said nothing more, and rode his horse back, disappearing into the shield.

Qi Junguang's arrogance also made the King of Jin uncomfortable. He turned to Kadan and asked, "What does King Kadan think?"

Kadan's eyes turned red as he said, "Of course, we should kill them all!"

In Kadan's eyes, Qi Junguang was nothing more than the third prince of Southern Qi, and the number of the opposing Silver Thread Army was not even as many as the Western Frontier Heavy Cavalry Regiment he had brought. What gave him the right to be so arrogant? Moreover, Qi Junguang had not looked at Kadan once from beginning to end, which made him feel that he was being looked down upon.

"Alright, since King Kadan has said so, then the rest of the battlefield is yours to command!"

The Prince of Jin said calmly, “By using the Western Frontier to take down Qi Junguang, we can go all the way east and take down Southern Qi. Anguo’s power will double, and then the Western Frontier will be in his pocket.”

Upon hearing the King of Jin's order, Kadan simply waved his hand dismissively.

"All generals, heed my command!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

The current commander of Xijiang Wanjiang is Kadan's younger brother, Kaluqi, who should immediately step forward to obey orders.

"Lead our warriors from the Western Frontier and crush the Silver Thread Army! Let these Southern Qi people see what true warriors and soldiers are!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Karuchi agreed and then shouted, "All Western Frontier Heavy Cavalry Regiments, follow me and crush the Silver Thread Army!"

"Crush the Silver Thread Army!"

"..."
