Prince Qin did not feel the disappointment in Lieutenant General Li's words at all, he just thought that this man was extremely stupid.
"Weren't General Luo's words just now clear enough?"
"The White Feather Clan's guards only number 500, while our Southern Camp has over a thousand soldiers. Even if we lose 200, we still have 800. If we all go into battle together, can't we defeat those 500 women?"
Lieutenant General Li's vision went dark, and he slammed his head against the ground. "My Lord, this war is not a numbers game. The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. It is absolutely unwise to advance so recklessly. If General Qin were still alive, he would never agree to your doing this!"
It would have been fine if General Qin had not been mentioned, but as soon as General Qin was mentioned, Prince Qin immediately became angry and thought of what Luo Xuan had just said.
The more he looked at it, the more he felt that Lieutenant General Li looked down on him and thought he was not worthy of commanding the soldiers of the Southern Camp.
He was determined to achieve something that would convince everyone!
"This is my order. If you disobey, you are betraying me, the Southern Camp, and the Qin family. Don't blame me for being merciless!"
At this moment, Lieutenant General Li felt extremely disappointed and was no longer able to refute.
"I will obey your orders."
Watching Lieutenant General Li turn and leave, Prince Qin frowned uneasily and asked Luo Xuan beside him.
"Deputy General Li doesn't look right. Could he really be planning to betray me? General Luo, if he were to usurp the throne and try to kill me, you would definitely protect me, right?"
Luo Xuan still had a smiling face and patted Prince Qin on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Prince, I will protect your life no matter what."
After hearing Luo Xuan's assurance, Prince Qin immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Now he could rest assured!
The sky was getting darker and darker, and from time to time the sound of swords clashing and screams could be heard from the front.
Prince Qin would sometimes get nervous and uneasy, but as long as Luo Xuan comforted him a few words, he would feel relieved again.
As night fell, good news finally came from the front.
"Prince, the brothers fought hard and finally took over the narrow pass. We have also explored the road ahead. As long as we get out of the narrow pass, we will reach Baiyu Village!"
Prince Qin stood up excitedly: "Great! I've finally waited for this moment! All this is thanks to General Luo!"
Luo Xuan waved his hand modestly: "It has nothing to do with me. It was the prince's foresight that won this battle."
Prince Qin was flattered by the praise and regarded himself as a great general with the support of all the people.
"Since Yitiantian has been taken, why not take advantage of the darkness and attack Baiyu Village directly." Luo Xuan slowly stood up and patted the dust off his body.
At this moment, Prince Qin believed Luo Xuan's words without a doubt and agreed without thinking.
It was not until he reached the entrance to the narrow passage that Prince Qin suddenly realized something was wrong.
"General Luo, have you seen any soldiers from the South Camp? Why haven't I seen any of them along the way? Where's the soldier who tipped off just now?"
Luo Xuan also looked around and thought: "I guess after taking Yixiantian, they will stay in the mountains?"
Prince Qin nodded, thinking it made sense, and he didn't dwell on it any further. He followed Luo Xuan into the narrow passage.
"General Luo, why is there a strange smell?" Prince Qin asked, pinching his nose.
He walked in the middle of the army, and the weak light at the head could not illuminate the road ahead.
"Where there is a battlefield, there will naturally be the smell of blood. You'll just have to get used to it, Prince." Luo Xuan's voice came faintly.
Suddenly, Prince Qin tripped over something and fell to the ground.
"Oh, Prince, please go slower. This place is narrow and it will be difficult to walk if someone dies." Luo Xuan helped Prince Qin up.
"Thank you, General Luo."
When Prince Qin stood up, something hooked his fingers, as if a blood-stained jade pendant was brought out. He seemed inexplicably familiar with the pattern of the jade pendant.
"What's wrong, Prince?" Luo Xuan's concerned voice came to his ears.
Before Prince Qin had time to think about it, he put the jade pendant away and replied, "It's okay."
The road ahead became narrower and narrower, and the road became more and more difficult to walk on. Prince Qin would trip over a corpse from time to time and couldn't help cursing.
"Those people guarding the mountain don't even know to light the torches? I'm afraid they were made stupid by the battle!" Prince Qin couldn't help but complain.
As soon as the words fell, the front suddenly became brighter and countless torches were lit in an instant.
Prince Qin was stunned. Could it be that his words were voice-controlled?
It was at this moment that he suddenly saw everything around him clearly.
Whether on the mountain or on the path, there was wet blood. The blood even gathered into a small stream, flowing out along the side trough.
Prince Qin was dumbfounded. How many people had died to gather so much blood?
"Are you scared? This is the real battlefield. Oh, this is not the real battlefield. Look over there." Luo Xuan said, pointing his finger forward.
Prince Qin just took a look and vomited it out.
It was actually a mountain of corpses!
He suddenly thought of something and took out the jade pendant he had picked up in the darkness. With the light of the torch, he finally saw it clearly.
No wonder he felt familiar with it. Isn’t this the jade pendant that Lieutenant General Li wears on his body?
Lieutenant General Li was an expert in martial arts, even better than his father's, so when he was young, his father even asked him to worship Lieutenant General Li as his master.
But later, when he grew up, he refused to call Lieutenant General Li "Master" anymore.
This is also why he later began to worry that he would not be able to hold on to his position as the commander of the Southern Camp, because Lieutenant General Li really had the ability to usurp his position.
But now even Lieutenant General Li is dead...
"You're finally here."
A familiar woman's voice came from not far away. Prince Qin's body trembled suddenly and he looked up and forward.
He hadn't paid much attention just now, but only now discovered that those people holding torches outside the narrow passage were all women of the White Feather Clan, and the leader was actually the commander of the guard whom he hated the most.
"General Luo, why aren't they dead?" Prince Qin was really panicking at this moment. He didn't have any trump cards in his hand, and Luo Xuan was the only one he could rely on.
Luo Xuan made a "tsk" sound, but there was no panic in his voice: "Yeah, it's very strange, why?" As he spoke, he gathered strength in his palms.
Prince Qin was completely unprepared and was slapped away by Luo Xuan with one palm. When he landed, he happened to fall at the feet of the leader of the guard.
The commander laughed repeatedly: "You like my feet so much? Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to serve me well in the future!"
Prince Qin was completely stunned. He subconsciously wanted to ask Luo Xuan to protect himself, but he realized it belatedly.
Wasn’t it Luo Xuan himself who just pushed him to this woman’s feet?
"Where are the soldiers from the South Camp? Come and save me!" Prince Qin shouted anxiously.
