When the troops arrived in Tufan, it was impossible for the king of Tufan not to panic after hearing the news.
Because he knew that if Cang Lie sent troops, he would most likely join forces with Xian Chang.
In the court, all the ministers gathered together, discussing and trying to come up with a foolproof plan.
"Cang Lie's dispatch of troops means Xian Chang's troops will soon arrive. How will we Tu Fan resist then? My king, you must sacrifice your chariot to save your king!"
King Tufan's expression grew serious, and he looked at him with a cold look in his eyes: "From the tone of your voice, I think you are trying to do something bad to the eldest prince?"
Although the minister was horrified, he still insisted, "Although this move is difficult for you, Your Majesty, to accept, there is no other way. This is the only way to quell the war and avoid catastrophic disaster!"
King Tufan disagreed, but instead laughed coldly: "The eldest prince is not your son, so naturally you can say such things. The eldest prince was injured by Canglie's Princess Gou Qiong, and I failed to seek justice for him. Instead, I sent him to death!"
King Tufan stood up, looking a little agitated. "Do you think I should send you to the King of Canglie as well, so that they can calm their anger?"
"Your Majesty, I acknowledge my guilt!" The minister immediately knelt on the ground in fear, looking at King Tufan with a hint of fear in his eyes, "Your Majesty, I have spoken out of turn. Please calm down!"
Under the city in Tufan, Canglie's troops began to set up camp. It was obvious that they were either going to start a war or to lay siege. No matter what, they must get an explanation.
A soldier hurried into the tent and reported, "Your Majesty, the troops are ready. With just one command, we can charge in!"
King Cang Lie looked at the speaker solemnly, a hint of worry on his face. He sighed and said, "Of course I want to charge in directly to avenge Gou Qiong, but Gou Qiong and Prince Xianchang still haven't found him. How can I feel at ease to send troops directly?"
These words caused the generals, who were ready to go into battle at any moment, to shut up in frustration. While the atmosphere was still in silence, a soldier hurried over and knelt before the king, "Your Majesty, two men have come outside the tent. One of them claims to be Prince Xianchang!"
The king looked at the soldiers in surprise. He was just worried that Shao Lecheng and Duan Gouqiong might still be in King Tufan's hands, but now...
He didn't hesitate and said, "Hurry up and send the person over!"
A general anxiously warned the king, "Perhaps this man is an assassin sent by King Tufan. Your Majesty, please go inside the tent and take a look from a distance. I will intimidate the man and ensure your safety!"
The king naturally thought this method was feasible and nodded: "Okay, I will step aside first!"
Afterwards, he walked towards the tent. Not long after, Shao Lecheng was supported by someone and came in. Inside the tent, only military officers were standing. Qingfeng took a quick look and then said, "I am Qingfeng, a subordinate of Princess Chen. This is Prince Xianchang!"
He grabbed Shao Lecheng's face and lifted him up. All the generals looked at him. Someone asked in surprise, "Why is the prince unconscious?"
"He was injured while trying to save Princess Gou Qiong from danger, and while fleeing the palace, King Tufan was on full alert, with the pharmacies and city gates strictly guarded. When I arrived at Tufan, the prince was already in a high fever and unconscious. He hasn't recovered yet, and he needs proper medical attention!"
After a few words, the situation was explained clearly. The king, who had been hiding in the tent not far away, walked over slowly and said, "My lord, I will send a doctor to treat the prince immediately!"
Qingfeng looked up and saw the king approaching. He was wearing a black robe with a white lone wolf embroidered on it. He looked fierce and noble, symbolizing Canglie's totemic identity...
Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and then explained to Duan Gouqiong, Jing Yuchen and others that they were still in Tufan.
After understanding the situation, the king and the general decided that in order to divert King Tufan's attention, they could go out to fight first, giving Jing Yuchen and others a chance to escape from Tufan...
While King Tufan was still debating whether to send the eldest prince in exchange for peace, Canglie had already sent his troops and began to attack...
