At this moment, Qin Qing, unable to enter Liuyun City, could only try to find a way, and soon turned his attention to the stationed troops in the distance…
That night, a dark figure swiftly infiltrated the enemy camp without anyone noticing.
Before long, she finally stopped outside a huge tent, from which came a familiar mocking voice.
"More than two months... and you haven't even taken a single city. Do you want Father to think I'm incompetent, or are you all useless? Ha! Tomorrow I will personally lead the army! There's not a single one of you who can do anything!"
Faced with the reprimand, the generals below seemed to have a lot of complaints, and one of them, a man of stocky build, stepped forward.
"Your Highness, it's not that we're incompetent. A little over a month ago, the strength that enemy Wang Yan displayed... was truly not to be underestimated! Even the brave and skilled vanguard was so frightened that they retreated. The news was out of control early on, and now everyone in the army knows that he fought against a thousand men single-handedly, and was even shot through the heart with an arrow, yet he still didn't die... He's simply inhuman!"
Upon hearing this, the man at the front turned around, a dangerous smile on his face, and walked step by step toward the general, then bent down to look at him!
"You mean... I, the prince, am wrong?"
Upon hearing this, the general's face changed drastically, and he immediately knelt down. Just as he was about to explain, the man in front of him kicked him to the ground.
"It's none of your business to tell this prince what to do! Don't forget who you are! Get out!"
Upon hearing this, the general on the ground turned pale, then hurriedly got up and retreated. The others dared not say anything and followed suit.
Qin Qing peered through the crack and saw Prince Chloe's face clearly, but she was extremely shocked!
No wonder she felt that Prince Chloe's eyes were full of malice when she last met him. However, she did not find anything unusual when she looked over. But with that voice and Prince Chloe's sarcasm, she could almost be certain that the ordinary-looking man who tricked the bandit leader in Dingshan City and took control of the whole city half a year ago was the man in front of her!
The same sarcasm and arrogance, and a very similar figure and back view—if it weren't for that different face, she probably wouldn't have remembered.
Looking back now, it's likely that Prince Chloe had already begun to penetrate the Tianlong Kingdom back then, and wanted to undermine it from within. The fact that the entire population of Dingshan City betrayed the country is the best proof of this!
As she thought about it, her expression grew increasingly grim! The old emperor's birthday banquet was probably just a test. And then there was that man disguised as Wang Yan, trying to deceive her…
Only then did she finally realize and connect the dots… They were in cahoots!!
Thinking about it, she subconsciously felt a tightness in her chest, softened her breathing, and stared intently at Prince Chloe.
All those thoughts passed in just a few seconds. After the generals left, Prince Kolo's tent returned to calm.
He sat at the candlestick table, his gaze coldly fixed on the sand model above, his anger and murderous intent instantly surging!
"Wang Yan... I refuse to believe you can't die!"
The astonishing killing intent startled even Qin Qing, but it also made him more worried about the siege battle the next day.
Immediately afterwards, she saw Chloe pull a token from under the large cushion of the central chair…
A strong intuition instantly told her that the thing was very important! She suddenly remembered what Deputy General Zhang had said: the old emperor seemed to have this... military tally?
It's said to be something that can command the army!
Thinking of this, she quickly suppressed her excitement, tried to minimize her presence, and began to think about how to get the item.
At the same time, their keen ears picked up a conversation not far away.
"Hey bro, dinner's ready? What's for dinner tonight?"
"Go away, this is for His Highness the Prince. Our meal isn't ready yet! Be careful, His Highness has been in a particularly bad mood these past few days, and he's quick to yell at people. Be careful, he might face military law!"
"Ah... alright then! Go ahead and go."
After the brief conversation ended, Qin Qing suddenly had an idea. A slight smile appeared on his lips, and he quickly locked onto one of the soldiers carrying trays…
Although the army camp was brightly lit, it was ancient times after all, and the sky quickly darkened, so few people could see clearly.
Not long after, a rather thin soldier carrying a tray walked toward the tent, completely unnoticed by anyone! The only thing that seemed a little off was her slightly oversized clothing, but no one would pay attention to her in the darkness.
After he reached the entrance of the tent, he lowered his voice and said.
"Your Highness, I have brought you your dinner!"
Perhaps in a bad mood, Prince Chloe inside said impatiently.
"Come in..."
The soldier muttered "Yes," and then walked straight inside.
He had just put down his chopsticks and was about to leave when he heard Prince Chloe standing by the table in the dunes, giving orders without turning his head.
"Go and summon the vanguard captain immediately!"
The soldier was taken aback, then quickly replied "Yes," and turned to leave.
"Wait!"
She stiffened, lowered her head, turned away, and remained silent, seemingly waiting for instructions, or perhaps out of fear.
Prince Chloe clearly noticed her slight unease and frowned in confusion.
"What are you afraid of? And... when have we ever had a soldier in our army who is so... skinny?"
The Ice Mountain Grassland Tribe is located in a relatively cold area, but it also has grasslands and its own unique training methods. They are particularly skilled at training horses, so almost all the men in the tribe are tall and strong, and the men who join the army are no exception! It is really rare to see someone as thin as this!
Upon hearing this, the soldier was visibly stunned for a moment, then knelt on the ground in nervousness, trembling and unable to utter a complete sentence.
Prince Chloe's eyes flashed with impatience upon seeing this. He hated weak-willed men the most, and then waved his hand.
"Alright, alright, get out of here! You're just annoying to look at!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers on the ground quickly expressed their gratitude, then retreated tremblingly, barely raising their heads the entire time.
After Qin Qing walked out, she was covered in sweat. She felt a sudden sense of relief, fearing that Prince Chloe had noticed something. Although she was fast and strong, she couldn't fight against so many people. If she was discovered, she definitely wouldn't be able to escape!
Not to mention that Prince Chloe herself was highly skilled in martial arts, and she was no match for him at all.
Thinking it over, she turned into the darkness and stood lightly outside the gap on the side of Prince Chloe's tent, observing the situation inside.
At first, Prince Chloe looked annoyed and had no appetite for the food on the table. He stared at the flags on the dunes with a grim expression.
Then, he punched the sand model at the very edge, and with a "bang," the sand collapsed instantly!
He snorted coldly before walking over to prepare for his meal.
