"The third prince of your country poisoned my Jingnan Army, and he deserved to die. But now you want to exchange a city for his life, Prince Nanzhao, do you think that my Donglin Kingdom is easy to bully?" The emperor was furious.

The Emperor Donglin, who was so confident before, suddenly changed his attitude. Murong Shuo immediately realized that something was wrong.

"I still say the same thing. The poisoning of the Jingnan Army has nothing to do with me, Nanzhao."

"Regardless of whether it's related or not, I've already written a letter to Emperor Nanzhao. When the time comes, I, Donglin, will naturally produce evidence in front of everyone. Let's see if Crown Prince Nanzhao will still be so stubborn! Come on, show him away!"

The emperor unceremoniously drove Murong Shuo away, and sent someone to the post station to secretly check the situation. Sure enough, he found that Murong Qi had woken up!

Oh, what a Murong Shuo, what a Prince Nanzhao! Very good! How dare he play tricks in the capital, in front of the emperor!

The emperor was so angry that he overturned the table on the spot, and he had already made up his mind to kill the prince of Nanzhao.

Murong Shuo rushed back and found that Murong Qi had woken up on his own. He immediately understood why the emperor was angry today and knew that he had been plotted against. He was so angry that he slapped Murong Qi in the face.

Murong Qi had just woken up and his memory was still stuck on the time when he was captured by King Jingnan. Before he could recover from the fear of surviving the disaster, he was stunned by his brother.

"Second brother?"

"You bastard, you're more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything! Who told you to poison the Jingnan Army? If you could really poison them, it would be fine, but not only did you fail, you also gave others an advantage." Murong Shuo was furious and raised his hand to slap him again.

"Because of your stupidity, we are now being led by the nose by Prince Jingnan. The emperor will soon attack us!"

"Second brother!" Although Murong Qi was often scolded by his brother, he had never seen him get so angry before. He was so scared that he knelt down immediately.

"Brother, I just don't want to negotiate with them in such a humiliating way. As long as we kill King Jingnan, there will be no one in Donglin who can compete with our Nanzhao army. We can lead our army straight into Donglin and take it down in no time."

Murong Shuo was infuriated by his brother's stupidity and kicked him. "If Prince Jingnan was really that easy to kill, would you even need to do it? How could I not have thought of this?! Or do you think you're the only smart one in the world?! Stupid!!"

Murong Qi was so frightened that he lay on the ground, not daring to move or even breathe.

After calming down from his anger, Murong Shuo quickly came up with a plan. "Come here, prepare some valuable gifts. This prince will come to thank King Jingnan in person!"

Since Prince Jingnan dared to let him take the blame, he might as well throw it back to him!

Upon learning that Murong Shuo's carriage had already left the posthouse in a dignified manner, Sikong Zhan remained calm and shook his head. "Murong Shuo has indeed lost his composure. Jinghan, do you think Murong Qi is sitting in that carriage?"

"No matter whether he is here or not. It's time for me, the princess, to step forward. My lord, don't forget the 100,000 taels of silver you promised me." Lin Jinghan held the sword, raised her eyebrows and smiled, then left.

Murong Shuo sat in the carriage, his expression dark and gloomy. Beside him, Murong Qi, his cheeks swollen, huddled in a corner with his head lowered, trying to minimize his presence. However, his eyes, fixed on his toes, occasionally revealed a glint of resentment.

They were brothers from the same mother, but from childhood to adulthood, it was the second brother who was praised and rewarded. Everyone's attention was focused on him, never on him. In the end, even the position of crown prince fell to his second brother. The people of China only knew Murong Shuo, but who knew Murong Qi?

The Queen Mother always told them to be of one mind as brothers. Even though he had always lived in the shadow of his second brother, he had never thought of competing with him. He imitated his second brother in every way, just because he wanted to be like him.

In order to make Nanzhao more prosperous and powerful, he could endure all these injustices. He even took the initiative to take on the task of sending a hostage to Donglin.

But why? He just wanted to gain more benefits for Nan Zhao. Why, after the matter went wrong, not only did no one comfort him, but his second brother also forced him to thank their mortal enemy in such a horrible state?

He thanked his whole family! He might as well die if he was asked to bow to the King of Jingnan!

Murong Shuo knew that his younger brother was unhappy, but he was too immature. His behavior this time had caused big trouble for their Nanzhao. He must teach him a lesson and make him think carefully about this profound lesson before acting rashly next time.

Suddenly, he felt that the speed of the carriage had slowed down. Murong Shuo lifted the curtain and saw a carriage intersecting with theirs and quickly disappearing from his sight.

The carriage felt somewhat familiar. After a moment, he asked the driver, "Whose carriage just passed by?"

"Your Highness, judging by the markings, this appears to be the Jingnan Wang family."

But who would be going out at this time? He hadn't heard that Prince Jingnan was planning to go out today.

After a moment's reflection, he decided that blindly chasing after a carriage without knowing the situation would be a bit too much. He lowered the curtains and continued to rest his eyes.

Murong Qi looked up at his second brother and wanted to say several times that since Prince Jingnan was already out, why not just not go today? He touched his face, which was hurt by the beating, and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

The person sitting in the carriage was naturally Lin Jinghan. The carriage sped along and soon arrived at the posthouse.

Lin Jinghan jumped off the carriage with a sword in hand, and imitated the unruly princess, pointing the sword at the inn and shouting at the top of her voice:

"Murong Huan, you injured me at the flower viewing banquet that day. I always seek revenge and retribution. Today, I come to challenge you. Don't be a coward and let others look down on you."

After shouting, he folded his arms and sat in the carriage, and told the guards beside him to continue shouting.

"Murong Huan, come out!"

Before the guards could shout, Murong Huan rushed out. Seeing that Princess Jingnan dared to be so arrogant in front of her, and thinking of the suffering she had endured in the past few days while recuperating from her injuries, her stubbornness instantly came up.

"Lin Jinghan, you're looking for death!"

As he said that, he pulled out the whip and hit Lin Jinghan.

With the opponent cooperating so well, Lin Jinghan naturally had to continue acting out this scene well. It was also a good opportunity to test the results of her sword training in the past few days. She drew her sword and met Murong Huan's whip.

Unexpectedly, Murong Huan, though unruly, was actually quite skilled in martial arts. Lin Jinghan, who had only practiced swordsmanship for a few days, was no match for her. She quickly lost her rhythm and was forced to defend herself.
