The Second Prince's face twitched. This Duan Tianchou was a complete neurotic and perverted man, even he himself found him hard to stand. However, he had to admit that he was an extremely sharp blade. If used well, he would be the nightmare of any enemy.
Only then did the soldiers under Black Tooth's command realize what had happened, and an uproar ensued.
They scattered and fled, and even though several trusted generals of the Black Tooth family tried their best to stop them, it was to no avail. In the end, they simply ran away with everyone.
Unfortunately, the Second Prince wouldn't let them escape. Soon, his soldiers took out their crossbows and shot down those who had run to the front. Then, they offered them amnesty, and those people laid down their weapons.
Execute all of the Crown Prince's loyal followers, and then it will be easy to incorporate the rest.
As for how to determine who are the Crown Prince's loyalists and direct followers, it's a very simple matter: just let them report on each other. This will not only destroy any possibility of unity among these people, but also sow seeds of hatred, making it impossible for them to ever go back.
That's human nature.
The group continued towards the palace, and not far from the palace, they bumped into another group that was also heading in the same direction.
The second prince recognized the identity of the other party's leader: Attendant-in-Ordinary Ufa and Prince An Yi, Upe.
Ufa and Upe also saw the Second Prince and were extremely surprised, uttering the same words as Black Tooth Fei: "How could it be you!"
After dealing with the fourth prince, they suddenly noticed something unusual happening at the palace. After some consideration, they decided to come and check on the palace.
In their view, the Crown Prince's strength was more than enough to deal with the Second Prince. On the contrary, there might be some problems in the palace. If the Second Prince or other ambitious people launched a sneak attack, it would be much more troublesome to take over the Crown Prince's stronghold. Therefore, they decided to come and provide support first.
Little did they know that they would run into the Second Prince's large army here.
"Why can't it be me?" The second prince repeated the same question without showing any sign of boredom; on the contrary, he seemed to enjoy it.
This Ufa has always been at odds with him. In previous years, he had caused him a lot of trouble in court, resulting in him being punished by his father several times. Today, with such a good opportunity, he naturally wanted to enjoy watching Ufa's ugly state of panic, regret, fear, and begging for mercy.
"Are you waiting for them?" The Second Prince ordered his men to bring out the bodies of the Crown Prince and the others again.
As expected, the opposing camp was in an uproar, with many people turning pale and terrified.
Ufa and Upe were also ashen-faced. Upe immediately went limp, while Ufa was slightly calmer. Unlike Black Tooth Fly, he did not run away but stayed where he was, scanning the Second Prince's group before finally settling on the two people beside him.
"Lou Chen and Xue Han? So it was you who tipped them off. No wonder the Crown Prince failed." Ufa's voice was filled with resentment.
Lou Chen and Xue Han were both palace eunuchs, holding the official position of Zhongchangshi, essentially the Demon Emperor's confidential secretaries. In a sense, Ufa was their superior, but since Ufa was an outsider and the two were palace eunuchs, they didn't always have strong control over each other. Xue Han's expression was somewhat unnatural, while Lou Chen coldly sneered, "As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a good tree to perch on, and a capable minister chooses a good master to serve. You treat us like dogs, so naturally we will repay you like dogs; the Second Prince treats us as national heroes, so naturally we will repay him as national heroes. This is only natural."
Ufa laughed loudly: "Two eunuchs want to be national heroes? That's laughable!"
Lou Chen and Xue Han's faces flushed red, and they cursed in a shrill voice, "You bastard, you'll die a horrible death!"
Ufa's face darkened, and he said coldly, "What's the point of just cursing? How about we have a match?"
"You're like a cornered beast, fighting for your life. Do you even have the right to compete with us?" the two eunuchs scolded.
"You're asking for death!" Ufa roared, charging straight at the two men.
The two men's expressions changed, and they both shrank back. Although their cultivation levels were not as high as Wufa's, they were still a force to be reckoned with together.
But now that they have the upper hand, why should they risk fighting him? They are all thinking about the days of power and wealth in the future. Their own lives are so precious, how can they risk their worthless lives?
The Second Prince's camp was in disarray because the two men retreated. After all, they were after the two eunuchs, and no one else wanted to take the hit.
Just then, Ufa's figure suddenly turned ninety degrees and rushed directly towards the Second Prince.
He knew that given their past grievances, the Second Prince would never let him go, so he initially gave up on the idea of escaping or begging for mercy and decided to capture the leader first to see if there was any chance of survival.
However, the second prince showed no sign of panic; instead, a mocking smile appeared on his lips.
Ufa's heart sank, filled with doubt and uncertainty. Had the other party anticipated his plan all along?
Unfortunately, the arrow was already on the string and had to be released.
Then he saw a thin black sword, and then he saw his own back.
My back?
Then everything went red before his eyes, and he lost consciousness.
Seeing the excited gleam in Duan Tianchou's eyes as he licked the blood off his sword, the Second Prince frowned. This guy was clearly using a thin sword, but he wielded it as if he were a broadsword, always cutting off people's heads and never leaving anyone alive.
I had originally planned to capture Ufa alive and torture him slowly. Watching my former enemy wail in pain at my feet would have been a very pleasant thing. Unfortunately, Duan Tianchou took it for his own pleasure, so I couldn't have any.
Seeing Ufa die like that, the other leader on the Crown Prince's side, Prince An Yi, collapsed to his knees, saying, "I was only coerced by the Crown Prince before, and I am willing to pledge allegiance to the Second Prince!"
