After all, he has many brothers. Right now, he is just the most outstanding one. But if he is ruined, there are countless younger brothers who can also be trained to be the crown prince.
"Your Highness, it really isn't my fault this time!" Ouyang Fu was filled with regret.
Xi Wujue sneered: "Wasn't it your idea to capture those three little brats? Didn't you say they were Han Luoxue's weakness, and Han Luoxue was Ouyang Zhen's weakness?"
"That's right, you said that as long as we capture them, we'll have a way to control Ouyang Zhen!"
Xi Wujue was furious. If he weren't in pain all over and completely powerless, he would have gone up and killed Ouyang Fu.
Ouyang Fu felt extremely wronged: "But, Your Highness, I didn't say that you should switch them with Han Luoxue!"
Xi Wujue was speechless for a moment, unable to refute these words. When he saw the three children, he suddenly thought that it would be a very worthwhile thing to exchange the three children for Han Luoxue, who was even more threatening.
But the outcome was somewhat unexpected. Han Luoxue was switched, and he also confirmed Han Luoxue's position in Ouyang Zhen's heart. That woman, Han Luoxue, was too cunning!
If possible, he would rather have never changed the player in the first place!
If they hadn't been replaced, at least they wouldn't have been taken over by Ouyang Zhen's men so quickly.
"You mean it's all my fault?"
Xi Wujue's expression turned cold, and his gaze towards Ouyang Fu was like a knife.
Ouyang Fu flinched in fright, but did not refute.
Xi Wujue's anger surged, "I was just..."
He couldn't say anything more. This time it was indeed a mistake on his part. Who would have thought that Han Luoxue was such a difficult woman to deal with!
"Your Highness, what should we do now? Will your father come to save us?"
Ouyang Fu has no way out. His mother is dead, and Ouyang Zhen is the emperor. He will never forgive a traitor like himself.
If Ouyang Zhen doesn't kill him, it's definitely because he wants to torture him, not because he wants to release him someday.
As for the retired emperor in the palace, his good father, it was even less likely that he could save him.
It is estimated that even the retired emperor is now in a precarious situation and cannot control Ouyang Zhen.
"Of course! Don't worry, once the news gets to the palace, my father will definitely come to rescue me!"
"No matter what, I am the Crown Prince of Xiyao Kingdom. I was raised by my father from childhood. I am definitely not like your father."
"Speaking of which, your father was truly ruthless. He deposed you without hesitation!"
Ouyang Fu's expression darkened. In fact, he knew from a very young age that he was inferior to Ouyang Zhen in every aspect of his talent.
The only thing he had that Ouyang Zhen had more of was his family background.
He was born from the Empress's womb and occupied the position of the Empress's legitimate son from birth. In addition, he was older than Ouyang Zhen and secured the position of Crown Prince early on.
However, as Ouyang Zhen grew older, he became exceptionally intelligent.
Furthermore, due to his mother's influence, his father, the emperor, doted on him even more, and many people even said that the emperor wanted to change the crown prince. Therefore…
Ouyang Fu didn't want to think about it anymore; he only regretted that he hadn't been ruthless back then.
If I had been a little more ruthless, determined not to give up until I found him, and had killed him earlier, none of this would have happened.
"I hope your father will come and rescue us soon!" That's all Ouyang Fu can pray for now.
"Your Majesty, what brings you here?"
The two had just rested for a while when they heard a noise outside. Both of them froze, and their hearts trembled instinctively.
They also understood that Ouyang Zhen would never come looking for them without a reason, and that if he came, they would probably suffer again.
As they were talking, the cell door creaked open, and Ouyang Zhen strode in, followed by Yang Feng and Xiao Ding.
These two were originally there to be tortured, so this can be considered as them making amends for their crimes.
"Your Majesty, just give the order if you need anything!" Yang Feng said hurriedly. Ouyang Zhen raised an eyebrow and looked at the two of them.
Yang Feng and Xiao Ding rushed forward and hung the two men back on the rack.
Ouyang Zhen did not stop them. After seeing that the two were secured, he casually picked up a whip and slammed it hard on the ground.
With a sharp crack, the whip struck the ground.
This whip is different from the others; it has many fine, dense barbs on it. Yang Feng just used it on them, and every time it landed on them, it was like being in hell.
Ouyang Zhen walked up to Xi Wujue with a whip in hand, lifted Xi Wujue's chin, and sneered: "Two hundred thousand troops?"
Xi Wujue's heart skipped a beat. He had been captured, but the two armies hadn't clashed last night, and his men hadn't suffered many casualties. Could it be...?
He still couldn't quite believe it. As far as he knew, although Ouyang Zhen was ruthless, he had never heard of him mistreating prisoners.
Could it be that Ouyang Zhen really killed 200,000 people? How could he dare?
"You... Ouyang Zhen, what did you do to them?"
When you said that, Xi Wujue's voice trembled slightly. He couldn't believe that if all 200,000 people died because of his negligence, he would be guilty even if he died.
If this were to reach his father's ears, how could he possibly send anyone to rescue him? Forget about rescuing him; even if he managed to escape, his father would kill him and make him atone for his sins with his death!
"Xi Wujue, I heard you brought 200,000 elite troops. Where is he?"
For a moment, Xi Wujue didn't understand.
What did Ouyang Zhen mean? Why did he feel like he couldn't understand?
"Your Majesty, what did you mean just now?" Not only Xi Wujue, but Yang Feng and the others also didn't understand.
"hehe……"
Ouyang Zhen sneered: "I ordered a count, only to find that the Western Yao Kingdom's army doesn't even number 100,000. I find it strange, what happened to the promised 200,000 troops? Were they all just trying to deceive me?"
Xi Wujue was shocked when he heard this: "No, impossible! There are a total of 200,000 troops. I have already counted them!"
"Ouyang Zhen, did you kill more than 100,000 people?"
Ouyang Zhen had been observing Xi Wujue's expression, and it didn't seem like he was faking it. Even Ouyang Fu, who was standing to the side, looked astonished.
Ouyang Zhen was secretly suspicious. Even Xi Wujue didn't know? Where did those 100,000 people go?
"Take good care of him!"
Ouyang Zhen lashed Xi Wujue a few times with his whip, then threw the whip to the ground with a snap and strode away.
He wanted to go out and check; this was abnormal, very abnormal.
How could a perfectly good army of 100,000 people, not just a few, suddenly disappear?
Either there's a place here that can hide 100,000 people, or...
Ouyang Zhen was startled; a possibility suddenly occurred to him…
