The call of "Night King" really made the other ministers present stand still.
How could a great Night King be relegated to such a position? Moreover, he kept claiming that he was entrusted by Aleshilan. Everyone began to suspect that Aleshilan had been captured by Chu Xuan, or had died at Chu Xuan's hands.
Seeing this, Chu Xuan rubbed his eyebrows unconsciously. What a trouble. Time was already tight, and now he had to explain why he was here.
"You all don't have to doubt it. I am indeed the Night King of Tianji, but I came here this time because of Aleshilan's request. By chance, I saved his life in Tianji, and then he revealed his identity and formed an alliance with me. This was given to me by Aleshilan."
Chu Xuan took out from his arms the piece of silk with the totem of Fengxi Kingdom painted on it, which Alesilan had handed to him personally before he left.
"This item was made by your Majesty. You should know it."
It was the same general again. He carefully raised his hand, took the silk from Chu Xuan, examined it carefully, then looked at everyone and nodded slowly.
Seeing this, Chu Xuan didn't want to waste any more time and got straight to the point.
"This time, I had no choice but to venture into Fenglan City. I'm sure you all know that the eldest and second princes are also in Fenglan, and the current commander of the Fenglan garrison, Lu Chenghong, is already standing behind the eldest prince. There is one more thing I want to tell you."
Chu Xuan said in a deep voice: "The Third Prince has not shown up yet. Aleshilan said that when they left the city that day, he and the Third Prince were separated by the rebels. After searching nearby without success, he followed the refugees to Tianji. However, my people in Tianji have inquired around and found no trace of the Third Prince."
Several people were startled and looked worried, then they gritted their teeth secretly, hating Lu Chenghong for turning against them at the last minute.
The general who recognized Chu Xuan was Ahanersa, the commander of the Imperial Guards. Before the incident, the king personally ordered him to secretly go to Fenglan City to make deployments, so that when the Imperial City was breached, everyone could retreat to Fenglan to plan for the future.
But who could have expected that Lu Chenghong secretly turned against the eldest prince and detained him in Fenglan. When the imperial city was breached, he was trapped in Fenglan and could do nothing.
This led to the rebels besieging the third prince who was escaping from the imperial city.
"I have failed to live up to His Majesty's trust. I was unable to bring the Third Prince to Fenglan safely." Ahanersa's eyes were bloodshot, and her chained hands were clenched tightly.
Seeing that time was running out, Chu Xuan said anxiously: "Everyone, now is not the time to talk about this. I came to Fenglan to ask you to help me recover the royal army. Although I am a prince, I am now here without any soldiers. If I want to find the third prince, I can only rely on the royal army."
Ahan Ersa exchanged a glance with the other ministers, then turned to look at Chu Xuan: "Prince Ye, if you want to recover the royal army, you must have the jade seal. I'm afraid we are powerless, but we can help you take back Fenglan."
Ahanlsa turned around and walked quickly back to the depths of the cell, pried open a brick, and took out a package hidden inside.
"General Ah Han!" Several other ministers shouted in shock, "Don't be so reckless!"
This thing is too important and cannot fall into the hands of others easily. If something unexpected happens, Fengxi will be doomed.
Several ministers were always concerned about Chu Xuan's identity and could not give him all their trust. It was too risky to hand this thing over to a prince of another country at this time.
"No need to say more, I know what's going on." Ahan Ersa raised his hand to stop the others from saying anything, and said, "It has come to this. You and I are both trapped here. The third prince is stranded outside, his life or death unknown. The situation is urgent and we can't afford to hesitate any longer."
"Although the Night King is not from Fengxi, I have heard of his reputation." Ahan Ersa stared at Chu Xuan with a pair of eyes, implying admiration: "The Night King is very prestigious in Tianji Country, he is upright and honest. If there is anyone I can trust at this moment, it is only the Night King."
There was a hint of heroism in Ahanlsa's words.
Chu Xuan raised his hands and clasped his fists, bowed slightly to Ahan Ersa, and said solemnly: "General, rest assured, Chu Xuan will live up to your trust."
Seeing this, several other ministers sighed secretly. That’s right, they had no choice but to trust the young man in front of them.
Ahan Ersa slowly opened the package, handed it to Chu Xuan, and explained: "This is a secret report. It was handed to me by His Majesty when I left the Imperial City. It contains evidence of the First and Second Princes secretly forming a clique with Lu Chenghong and others in recent years, as well as the secret letter of Lu Chenghong colluding with Duoze. They are all in here."
Chu Xuan received the secret report and was secretly shocked. He had expected that the eldest prince would form a clique and secretly collude with Lu Chenghong, but was Lu Chenghong colluding with Duoze?
You must know that Duoze is the leader of the rebels, the traitor who kicked out the old king and sat on the throne himself!
Ahan Ersa quickly solved this doubt for Chu Xuan.
"Your Majesty felt something was amiss when Duoze started his rebellion. Even though Duoze had troops under his command, he was only a king of a different surname and his status was not high. How could he have the ability to win the hearts of all the soldiers?"
"And Duoze's attack was swift and fierce, and he quickly captured most of Fengxi's city. If no one gave him
Who can believe the tip-off? "
Ahan Ersa was extremely angry and said, "Your Majesty sent people to investigate this matter, but when they received the news, it was too late. Duoze had already approached the city. Your Majesty was worried that this matter would be buried, so he deliberately sent all the reports out of the imperial city, so that one day the truth could be revealed to the world."
Chu Xuan carefully collected the secret report, looked up at the time, took out the key and quickly opened the cell door, saying quickly: "Quick! I'll take you out now. In less than a quarter of an hour, they will come to torture you. Go!"
Upon hearing this, several ministers smiled calmly, turned around and walked to the center of their respective cells and sat down on the ground.
Ahan Ersa looked at Chu Xuan and said, "Your Highness, we are entrusting the Third Prince to you. We are old and can't do much, but we can't drag you down either. Let's go quickly. We, a few old men, will cover for you."
"Everyone..." Chu Xuan frowned and wanted to persuade them again, but suddenly there was a sound of armor rubbing against each other outside. They were coming.
Chu Xuan suddenly became anxious, but the others were clearly determined to die: "Let's go quickly. We are old and covered in wounds. We will be a burden if we go out. Your Majesty, I'll leave everything to you."
The sounds outside were getting closer and closer, and Chu Xuan had no choice but to bid farewell to them and leave quickly.
Looking back at Ahanersa and other adults, although their hair is gray and their bodies are covered in blood, their eyes are firm and they are determined. These are loyal ministers.
