Zhou Xiao immediately led his troops to pursue them.
Jiang Xinwei waited anxiously for news until evening, when she finally saw dust billowing in the distance from the city wall.
The troops have returned.
As she watched, her eyes widened in disbelief.
The one who returned was a general from the Wushui Kingdom, carrying a human head in her hand.
Zhou Xiao's head.
She killed Zhou Xiao.
anger!
Endless anger threatened to overwhelm Jiang Xinwei.
Since her birth, although she has never had everything she wanted, she has never been treated with such contempt.
Xiao Ling was also furious.
Zhou Xiao had followed the Third Prince through thick and thin, serving as his right-hand man. Yet the General of Wushui Kingdom killed him without hesitation, showing utter disregard for the Third Prince.
He felt deeply for Jiang Xinwei's sadness because he loved her so much.
He thought for a moment, then leaned down and whispered in Jiang Xinwei's ear, "Your Highness, this person is arrogant and domineering, and I'm afraid she will bring you more disaster. Why not wait until after the coronation ceremony and kill her? Firstly, this would be a way to show goodwill to the people of Yu and appease the people she killed. Secondly, you could recruit her soldiers into your own ranks..."
Jiang Xinwei's anger subsided immediately; she had been feeling aggrieved for a long time.
"Very well, let her live a few more days. But she brought more than 10,000 soldiers with her, how can we subdue them all?"
"Your Highness has forgotten that the soldiers of Wushui Kingdom have always cooked in separate pots and pans from the soldiers of my Yu Kingdom."
Hahahaha!
At that moment, Jiang Xinwei completely relaxed.
"How fortunate I am to have your help."
The Great General of Wushui Kingdom had already arrived at the city wall. She glanced at Jiang Xinwei and smiled:
"What makes Your Highness so happy? Well, there is something I need your advice on. Just now, I went hunting, and General Zhou, I don't know who instructed her, actually attacked me. I stood by Your Highness and I were in this together. Since she dared to attack me, I suppose she will one day attack Your Highness as well. Therefore, I killed this thief. Do you think my actions were appropriate?"
Jiang Xinwei sneered.
"General Zhou is my right-hand man, as you are well aware of. According to you, if you can kill my right-hand man, you might as well kill me one day. Don't you agree, General?"
The general of Wushui Kingdom was taken aback for a moment, instinctively feeling that Jiang Xinwei was somewhat different, but after thinking about it, he understood.
Anyone who loses their right-hand man or left-hand man will be angry.
But so what if I lose my temper?
Isn't it still up to the Wushui Kingdom to rely on them?
If there were no Wushui Kingdom, what about the Third Prince?
He's probably already a lost soul.
"Your Highness is too kind. I am tired from hunting today. I will joke with Your Highness another day."
She cupped her hands in a gesture of respect, threw Zhou Xiao's head on the ground, and strode away.
The soldiers following behind were escorting carts of valuables, along with several handsome men dressed in Yu Kingdom attire, all tied together on one cart.
hunt?
They were clearly going to abduct and capture the people of the Yu Kingdom!
Jiang Xinwei closed her eyes, swallowed her anger, and ordered, "Give General Zhou a proper burial!"
She turned to walk down the city wall.
Xiao Ling tugged at her sleeve.
"Now is the time to win people's hearts. Your Highness should personally collect General Zhou's body and give him a proper burial. This way, everyone will know that Your Highness cherishes talent and is a benevolent and wise ruler."
Jiang Xinwei was stunned for a moment, feeling a sense of disgust in her heart.
She was a true dragon among men, always high above others. Although she knew she needed to win people's hearts, she never thought of using such a method.
only……
Xiao Ling's words were always correct. She remained silent for a moment, then nodded.
He walked out of the city himself, suppressing his nausea, and lifted Zhou Xiao's head, shedding a few tears.
All around was quiet.
Countless soldiers of the Yu Kingdom were moved.
True love, true loyalty, true monarch; I swear to follow the Third Prince to the death!
