But the moment his identity was exposed, all these past affections were destined to be of no use.
After all, the master he was loyal to was on the opposite side of the general, and he knew that he would never betray his master.
The general knew his character well enough that he did not dissuade him or try to get more information from him. Perhaps this was the general's last bit of dignity left for him.
Thinking of his wife and children at home, Qian Li's face showed a trace of regret, but it was replaced by determination in an instant. He was not wrong. Their whole family has been loyal to the second prince's mother's family for generations.
The master of the family sent him to the southern border and used his connections to allow him to join the army of the King of Yue.
Unfortunately, he did not send out the formula for the explosives before he was arrested.
He believed that if he could be a little quicker and pass the information about the explosives formula to the Second Prince, then the Second Prince would have powerful explosives and would definitely win the battle for the throne.
Even if the First Prince and the Third Prince's factions also have explosives, the Second Prince also has explosives in his hands. Even if he cannot have an absolute advantage, he will not be at a disadvantage.
But now it seems that the second prince is in a very bad situation.
After all, the Third Prince had already mastered explosives several months ago and even made weapons out of them.
In the war between the Han and Northern Deserts, they defeated the larger force with fewer troops and won the war.
On the eldest prince's side, the general also got the formula for explosives from Shen Yu. I believe that it won't be long before the skilled craftsmen on the general's side will be able to use explosives to make weapons, which will give the eldest prince more bargaining chips and help him ascend to the throne.
Even though he didn't want to believe it, the facts were right here and he had no way to change it. Thinking of this, Qian Li's face turned gray.
"Brother Qian, Brother Qian, how are you? You're talking nonsense, don't scare Yu'er."
Qian Li ignored Shen Yu. In other words, Qian Li didn't listen to Shen Yu at all, because his thoughts drifted to what happened after Shen Yu left the grove.
You know, after meeting Shen Yuqian, he was also about to leave, but was suddenly surrounded by people, and the person leading them was someone he was familiar with. He knew very well that he could not escape this disaster.
After all, he couldn't even beat the leader, let alone more than a dozen people who were all highly skilled in martial arts.
As expected, he was quickly defeated and brought before the general.
The general looked at him and beat him up without saying a word.
The general was a skilled martial artist, and without any power to resist, he was unsurprisingly beaten and seriously injured by the general.
The wound had not been treated since the beginning, and now Shen Yu was shaking around without knowing how to move. He felt that he was not seriously injured, but might be shaken to death by Shen Yu.
Only then could he forcefully endure the pain and warn: "Yu'er, stop shaking."
Shen Yu felt himself surrounded by panic, all he could think about was that he would die soon. He could not hear the voices on Qian Li's chest as soft as a mosquito's, and just kept shaking.
Qian Li spat out another mouthful of blood, and his chest felt much smoother, and he could speak a little louder, which brought Shen Yu's mind back from panic.
Shen Yu saw that Qian Li's eyes were clear, and then he burst into tears.
"Brother Qian, what's wrong with you? Are you scaring Yu'er to death? Didn't you say you would protect Yu'er? You wouldn't let Yu'er fall into any danger, but now you can't even protect yourself. How can you fulfill your promise to me?"
“Wuwuwu…”
Qian Li saw Shen Yu crying on him with tears and snot. He had felt a trace of pity for Shen Yu in his heart, but now as Shen Yu started crying, the pity disappeared completely, and only disgust was left.
