The man Xuanyuan Mingchen was referring to was the traitor who had let the enemy in that night. This man was none other than Liu Zhangcheng, the former deputy governor of the East Depot, who harbored a grudge against Emperor Dazhao. That time on the flower boat, he had been tricked by Yan Miaoling and discovered the Crown Prince's affair with Shen Jingqi. Emperor Dazhao, displeased, had him exiled to the border as a commander.
Before this, he had been lying dormant, hoping to find an opportunity to get promoted and then return to the capital.
Who would have thought that because he was parachuted in and had no real skills, he was rejected by the Northern Army and his career development was not smooth.
Just when he felt that his talent was not being recognized, a high-ranking official from Russia approached him and tried to win him over. However, he still had a conscience and did not agree on the spot.
After the third prince, who had long been connected with the Kingdom of Russia, extended an olive branch to him in a handwritten letter, he finally became interested.
As a result, they betrayed their masters for personal gain and harmed national interests.
"Where is the Third Prince?" Xuanyuan Mingchen's ghost soldiers had been tracking him since they accidentally let him and Concubine Dong escape outside the capital, but they had no clues.
He had a vague suspicion in his heart that they had fled abroad, but now after hearing what Liu Zhangcheng said, he had even more reason to believe that the Third Prince and his mother had moved to the State of Russia.
He was furious. As a prince, he actually betrayed his country! What a despicable person!
Liu Chengzhang had endured a brutal interrogation, like one in imperial prison. He had long since given up wanting to live, only wishing for a quick death. What else was there to hide? His voice was as weak as a mosquito's. "Yes! They were rescued by the Russian army. The Third Prince even lied to me, saying that the Russian army had agreed to help him send troops to Dazhao to ascend the throne, and that after that, they would grant me a title of nobility and a position of prime minister. Ha... hahahaha..."
He was truly bewildered, believing such empty talk. Mother and son, disguised and hiding their identities, lived in a foreign country, never daring to reveal their true faces. How could there be a comeback and the throne?
It's his fault. He was blinded by money and power for a while.
Ended up...
I'm afraid my family in the capital will be implicated. He closed his swollen eyes and took his last breath.
After the results came out, Xuanyuan Mingchen was about to turn around and gather troops to attack the Kingdom of Ross when he heard a female voice behind him, "Your Highness, wait a minute. I'll go to Ross first to make some arrangements. It's not too late for you to send troops tonight!"
Xuanyuan Mingchen turned around and thought, who else could it be but Yan Miaoling who had just recovered from a serious illness!
However, the unfamiliar way she addressed him as "Prince" made him sense the resentment in her heart.
Then I thought, what, Russia?!
Is she going to go deep into the enemy's heart alone...
Xuanyuan Mingchen hurried out, but there was no sign of the beautiful woman. He had no choice but to reunite with the other three men to discuss the next steps.
The final result: Nanjia will personally go looking for someone. Chi Ao and Xuanyuan Mingchen will reorganize their forces, unite, and launch a massive attack on the border of the Russian Kingdom. Avenge the previous humiliation!
Before the troops were dispatched, Chi Ao, who had survived a near-death experience, wore a stern face as he personally brought out the general Xuanyuan Mingchen had captured. After several rounds of torture, he discovered that this man had been ambushing Kor twenty years prior and was a spy for the Kingdom of Ross.
He smiled sinisterly and brought the man back to his army. He then used a knife to rip out the man's intestines and stomach. He cut them raw.
The wailing was so deafening that it frightened the soldiers into losing their spirits.
Everyone looked at Chi Ao as if he were a devil.
For a dead person to be resurrected is quite something in itself, isn't it? They felt that after this incident, the prince's aura had completely changed. He had become aloof and cold.
Make people submit for no reason and dare not have any dissent.
Of course Chi Ao will change.
This general was the one he admired most when he first joined the battlefield as a teenager. He had sacrificed his life and blood, leading them to repel countless enemy attacks. Now, the truth was revealed, so cruel.
Idols become trash.
Then there was the confidant who stabbed him in the back. He had saved this person from danger and helped him settle down with his family. But that didn't stop him from stabbing him in the back for fame, wealth and power.
Chi Ao was a brave and bellicose man, and he used to have some sense of justice in his heart. But after learning from his mistakes, his trust in others gradually waned, even in his own father.
...
In broad daylight.
Yan Miaoling, however, had no qualms and walked straight into the Russian Empire's palace. Finding the red-haired King of Ross, she quickly stretched her arms and grabbed him by the neck...
"Cluck, cluck, cluck..." King Ross was like a dying duck, completely unable to utter a sound. His face flushed as red as a shrimp, and he struggled to look at the woman before him. Judging from her attire, she must be from Dazhao.
She was wearing a light pink dress and was as pretty as a peach.
But there was no expression on that elegant white face. She was a head shorter than him, yet she lifted him up without even breathing.
Yan Miaoling curled her lips and smiled.
And then, nothing happened.
No explanations, no threats, no yelling.
It was so clean and neat, he strangled the other person's neck and threw the body away.
Yan Miaoling... or perhaps it was because she had died once... Princess Ling'er, who had regained her memories of her previous life, turned around and stared at the guards and eunuchs surrounding her. "Tell me there's a prince or grandson in the royal family who hasn't killed anyone, and I'll spare your lives! But if you tell even a single lie, today will be your death!"
Purple light shot out of her eyes, sometimes human, sometimes fox.
It made everyone stupid.
They even forgot to announce the death of the king of a country, and forgot to go out to seek help.
He really said whatever Yan Miaoling told him to say.
The confessions of dozens of people were gathered together. Yan Miaoling memorized the few names on them and then disappeared.
In the next hour, Yan Miaoling used the chicken-killing skills she had learned to the fullest.
