The northwest camp of the King of Chu’s army.

"Your Highness, we just received news that the Crown Prince of Northern Qi has left the imperial city with his 100,000 troops." Xi Lin opened the tent and walked in, kneeling on one knee in front of Chu Feiyang, reporting the news he had just received to everyone in the tent.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned around to look at Xi Lin, with a hint of surprise and deep thought in their eyes.

"Your Highness, could it be that there's been a dispute between the Sea King and Qi Jingyuan? If Northern Qi were to withdraw its troops now, it would be a good thing for us." Several generals came to their senses, a hint of joy crossing their faces. If this were indeed the case, then it would certainly be a good thing.

Both the Sea King and the King of Chen command millions of troops. Although the number of troops under the prince's command is also very impressive, only less than half of the total number of people are actually deployed in the war. The gap in strength is so great that even if the prince is in charge of the strategy, he will inevitably be stretched.

In addition, Northern Qi and Dongyu are now unable to restrain their restlessness and are ready to take action after seeing the civil strife in Western Chu, which makes people even more anxious.

Hearing such news, many generals were naturally delighted, and the frowns they had been wearing for days couldn't help but relax a little.

Only Prince Duan and Qu Lingao on the side continued to look at Chu Feiyang. They seemed to have other worries in their hearts and did not show a relaxed expression like the others.

Chu Feiyang exchanged glances with Chu Nanshan, but didn't want to meet Duan Wang Qu Lingao's gaze. He then said calmly, "I will take care of Northern Qi's affairs. For the rest of the matter, follow the plan just now. Everyone, get busy."

Having said this, it is obvious that he does not want to talk more about Qi Jingyuan's affairs, and even more so, he does not want others to interfere too much in the affairs of Northern Qi.

Seeing that Chu Feiyang was as clear as a mirror and knowing that he acted steadily, the generals couldn't help but feel relieved and turned to leave the tent.

Prince Duan and Qu Lingao looked at each other, knowing that Chu Feiyang would never change his decision. Even if they stayed, they would not get any more information from Prince Chu. They could only follow the generals out of the tent.

"What do you think about this?" Seeing his grandson send everyone away, Chu Nanshan walked forward, approached Chu Feiyang and asked him in a deep voice about his plan.

Chu Feiyang smiled, his eyes gleaming with understanding as he spoke slowly, "There's only one reason he came to Xi Chu. If it was for me, there's no need to argue with Emperor Yugan. But now, he's using Meng'er as a shield. I won't stand by and watch."

Although Chu Feiyang's voice was shallow, his tone was extremely firm. Although there was a smile on his face, there was a cold light on his face, which made people feel cold.

Upon hearing this, Chu Nanshan turned his gaze from the map he had just laid out to his grandson. Seeing that Chu Feiyang had made up his mind, Chu Nanshan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, but he didn't say anything to stop him. He was just worried about Yun Qianmeng's current situation. "What about Meng'er? What's more, she's pregnant now. If something happens, then..."

Chu Nanshan's mind was working very fast. The more he thought about the consequences, the more scared he became. However, the incident of the Danshu Tiequan was caused by him. Chu Nanshan did not dare to blame Chu Feiyang to his face. He could only shrink his neck, but there was always a hint of worry in his eyes.

How could Chu Feiyang not know what Chu Nanshan was thinking? Seeing his grandfather being so cautious, Chu Feiyang knew that Chu Nanshan was still feeling guilty about the Danshu Tiequan matter.

Chu Feiyang shook his head slightly, a trace of heartache for Chu Nanshan flashed across his calm eyes, and then he said: "I will send a letter to Meng'er in the near future, asking her to make plans early. With the secret guards by her side, and Meng'er has always been cautious, it shouldn't be easy..."

At this point, Chu Feiyang frowned suddenly, as if he was thinking of something else.

The calmness in his eyes faded, and a fierce look appeared in them. He looked directly at Xi Lin beside him and asked hurriedly, "Did Qu Changqing send any news back to Dongyu?"

Xi Lin was about to report the matter when he heard Chu Feiyang ask, and immediately replied: "Minister Qu is secretly investigating who is betraying the country and has already locked onto two parties."

After saying this, Xi Lin approached Chu Feiyang and Chu Nanshan and whispered the names of the two groups of people in their ears...

Upon hearing this, Chu Feiyang and Chu Nanshan's eyes darkened at the same time. Chu Nanshan was the first to sneer, "They really are inextricably linked to this. It seems that if you don't remove the grass at its roots, it will grow back again in the spring breeze."

Chu Feiyang's face was icy, but he had already made up his mind. He said coldly, "Are they worthy?"

After he finished speaking, Chu Feiyang immediately sat back at the table, took the rice paper, and quickly wrote a letter...

"Your Highness, the Sea King's army suddenly shot arrows at our military camp..." Before Chu Feiyang finished writing the letter, a guard rushed in quickly and knelt in front of Chu Feiyang to report.

"Notify Meng Tao to lead 5,000 soldiers to fight." Chu Feiyang didn't even look up, and gave the order directly to the guard. The brush in his hand never stopped for a moment, and he finished writing the family letter in one go. He folded the rice paper, stuffed it into an envelope and handed it to Xi Lin.

Then he picked up the sword on the table, left Chu Nanshan in charge, and led the guard out of the tent...

Outside the Chu King's army camp, there were thousands of the Sea King's army who came forward to provoke. All of them were riding war horses, staring at the Chu King's army camp with contempt. Some of them even insulted Emperor Yu Gan, Jiang Haotian and others with rude words, and were extremely arrogant and presumptuous.

The King of Chu was so strict in disciplining his army that no one dared to speak out against him before Chu Feiyang gave the order. Only Meng Tao led 5,000 men to confront him. The situation was once serious, with both sides on the verge of a fight, waiting for the other to shoot the first arrow again.

Seeing Chu Feiyang leading the guards up the tower, the soldiers in the Sea King's army who had spoken rudely just now shut up. Although they were far away, Chu Feiyang's past reputation and current momentum made them tremble with worry, and they knew that King Chu was not that easy to deal with.

"Search..." An arrow was shot from a distant hillside during the confrontation between the two sides, hitting a general leading the Sea King's army.

"Ah..." The general cried out miserably, and looked down, only to find that his arm had been pierced by the long arrow. Blood flowed down his armor into the yellow earth. The pain made the general sweat profusely, but he was unwilling to lose his momentum in front of the Chu King's army.

"Who is this? How dare you shoot arrows secretly? You are truly a despicable person! We have always heard that the King of Chu was an upright man in the past, but we didn't expect that he would do such shameful things. We are really disappointed! Can you soldiers of the King of Chu see clearly the character of your prince? Do you think that the people will obey such a person? No wonder the King of Chu stood up for Emperor Yugan. It turns out that you are birds of the same feather, working together for evil! The Crown Prince of Emperor Yugan killed our young prince, and the King of Chu actually killed our generals in secret when the two armies were facing each other. We really despise such despicable behavior!" Seeing their own generals injured, the soldiers in the King of the Sea's army immediately boiled over, and accused Chu Feiyang of his despicable behavior and despicable behavior. They drew the swords at their waists, wishing they could kill Chu Feiyang who was standing on the tower.

Seeing that the Sea King Army was confusing right and wrong, the Chu King Army was furious, but before receiving Chu Feiyang's order, everyone suppressed their anger.

Chu Feiyang stood on a high place and could see the situation below clearly. He ignored the shouting of the Sea King Army below and looked into the distance at the protruding hillside.

I saw a woman sitting on horseback holding a longbow, and she was looking towards me. After noticing Chu Feiyang's gaze, she raised a proud sneer on her heroic face and boldly waved the longbow at Chu Feiyang.

"Your Highness, that is..." Xi Lin, who was protecting Chu Feiyang behind him, also noticed the strangeness of this matter. There were very few women entering and leaving the military camp except for military prostitutes. Although the woman was wearing Western Chu clothing, her appearance was more heroic than the gentle Western Chu women. It was obvious that she was from a foreign race.

"It seems that someone can't wait to stir up a conflict between the Sea King's Army and the Chu King's Army." Chu Feiyang said in a cold voice with a cold light in his eyes.

After he finished speaking, Chu Feiyang snatched the bow and arrow from the guard beside him in the blink of an eye, and shot an arrow at the woman on the hillside with lightning speed...

"Princess, be careful!" The guard who was originally guarding the woman saw the arrow with powerful force shooting straight at him, and immediately rushed forward and pressed down the woman's straight upper body. The two of them dodged the arrow together.

"Puff..." But the guard behind the woman was not so lucky. While his master escaped, the guard took the arrow shot by Chu Feiyang. He spurted blood from his mouth and fell off his horse before he could even close his eyes.

The woman looked back at her guard's dead face. Not only was there no trace of mourning in her eyes, but there was also a touch of admiration. Then she turned her head to look at Chu Feiyang, who was standing on the tower with a stern face. A gleam of determination flashed in the woman's eyes. She murmured with a cold smile, "Chu Feiyang, I've made a note of this. There will be a time when you will beg me for help. Let's go..."

After she finished speaking, the woman immediately led the guards behind her and ran away from the hillside, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The Sea King's army also noticed the situation on the tower. Seeing that Chu Feiyang ignored them, they were immediately dissatisfied with Chu Feiyang's attitude and shouted, "What does King Chu mean? Is it possible that he dare not admit what he did? A man of honor can be so cowardly and timid. We despise him!"

"Xi Lin!" Chu Feiyang whispered an order to Xi Lin beside him.

Xi Lin understood and immediately gave a hint to the Chu King's army below. Suddenly, a barrage of arrows was fired at the chattering Sea King's army. The area in front of the Chu King's army camp instantly turned into a sea of ​​blood. All the Sea King's soldiers were caught off guard by the rain of arrows and fell one after another in the bloody field...

"Your Highness!" Seeing that more than half of the Sea King's army was killed or wounded, and many of the Sea King's army hiding in the back were fleeing, Xi Lin turned his head to ask Chu Feiyang for his opinion.

"Kill them all, leave no one alive!" Chu Feiyang gave the order firmly, his face frosty and without a trace of emotion.
