After being forced to leave the marriage, I became the wife of a top scholar.

Chapter 312
At this moment, the Prince of Huai was unaware of what had happened outside. He had been exhausted for three days and three nights, and his face was full of fatigue.

"Wine! Bring another jug ​​of strong liquor!" Prince Huai said, leaning back on the couch and looking at the two empty wine jars on the table.

The soldier attending him reminded him, "Your Highness, we are at a critical juncture in the siege!"

"The entire army still needs your command, so you should not drink too much alcohol."

"Hmm?" The Prince of Huai glared at the soldier, a wicked smile playing on his lips. "I had no idea that I needed your permission to even drink a jar of wine?"

After saying that, the Prince of Huai kicked over the table in front of the bed, and the empty wine jars and glass cups on the table shattered on the ground.

The soldier trembled and quickly knelt on the ground.

"Your Highness, spare my life! I wouldn't dare!"

Just as the Prince of Huai was about to punish the soldier, a commotion suddenly arose outside the camp.

The Prince of Huai lowered his foot, which he had already raised, and said to the soldiers, "Go! Go outside and see what has happened."

The soldier felt he was saved and scrambled away as fast as he could.

The soldier was stunned by the sight before him as soon as he stepped out of the tent.

A group of people dressed in Northern Dynasty attire moved as if they were in an empty field, heading straight in his direction.

The deputy generals who were originally guarding around the Prince of Huai shouted "Protect the Prince!", but they drove their horses further and further away from the Prince's tent!

Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers all made way, clearing a path for them.

The soldier turned to report to the Prince of Huai, but stopped abruptly after taking only two steps. If this man hadn't rushed in, he would probably have been killed by the Prince of Huai long ago.

That's right! Ma Yu and Mr. Zhuang were both loyal and had served the prince for many years, yet they were all eliminated because of a single doubt in the prince's heart!

Moreover, the soldiers looked up at the lieutenants around them; they were all men who had fought alongside the prince for many years.

The prince continued to disregard their lives and insisted on his own way, causing what should have been a victory to fall into its current state.

The army of 200,000 has now dwindled to less than 50,000. Even if they manage to capture Beifeng City, they will not be able to withstand the Emperor's punitive expedition.

It would be better to do so.
Thinking of this, the soldier frowned, glanced back at the tent behind him, wiped his face, and quickly ran away!
The Prince of Huai, who was waiting in his tent, was still furious and waiting for someone to come and report. But as he waited and waited, apart from the increasingly loud sound of horses' hooves, the surroundings suddenly became eerily quiet!
"Useless! Useless! I never imagined that all these years and all the money I've spent raising would only produce a bunch of useless trash!"

The Prince of Huai, furious, strode out of his tent, gripping a large sword and reeking of alcohol.

He had only taken one step when something knocked him back several steps!
"You bastard! Who dares to block my path!" Prince Huai cursed, rubbing his nose, which was almost smashed in the crash.

But when he slowly raised his head and looked at the huge horse nose in front of him, he was stunned. When he looked up again, he met Lin Yunche's cold and stern eyes.

For a moment, Prince Huai felt as if he were drunk and his vision was blurred!
He raised his hand and slapped himself hard across the face. When he looked up again, the face in front of him became clearer.

"How...how did you get here?" Prince Huai's eyes widened, and he shouted loudly in all directions, "Guards! Guards, come quick!"

"Lin the traitor is here! Seize him at once!"

The King of Huai's voice was like a drop of water flowing into the ocean, without causing the slightest ripple.

The Prince of Huai looked around in horror. Where was his deputy general? Where were his soldiers?
Why is there nothing there except an empty campsite?
"Lin Yunche, what kind of sorcery did you use to send my army to where they are?" the Prince of Huai roared, but he quickly shook his head and muttered, "No, this is all a dream!"

"Yes, it's all a dream!"

"I have been planning for twenty years and have an army of two hundred thousand!"

"It won't be long before I ascend the throne!"

"What are you afraid of, the Lin family?"

"What are you afraid of, Lin Yunche?"

The Prince of Huai suddenly turned around and walked into the tent!
Lin Yunche followed him into the tent, where he saw the Prince of Huai sit back on the couch and slowly close his eyes.

Lin Yunche slightly raised his hand, the tip of his sword pointing directly at the throat of the Prince of Huai.

"Lin Yunche, I am the Prince of Huai, an ally who has fought alongside your Lin family for ten years!"

"I saved your grandfather's life, you can't kill me!"

When the Prince of Huai opened his eyes again, the corners of his eyes were bloodshot.

Lin Yunche sneered, "Your Highness, have you forgotten that our Lin family has been called traitors by everyone for more than twenty years!"

"If Your Highness allies with our Lin family, aren't you afraid of dying even faster?"

The Prince of Huai's face darkened, but he finally spoke, "Your Lin family are not traitors!"

"Lin Yunche, as long as you don't kill me, help me ascend the throne!"

"I can guarantee that I will clear your Lin family's name and restore your Lin family to its former status!"

"how?"

Lin Yunche began to hesitate, his gaze toward Prince Huai becoming more probing.

Seeing that Lin Yunche was indeed interested, the Prince of Huai pressed his advantage, saying, "You trust me!"

"Lin Yunche, think this through. The current emperor has always been wary of the Lin family!"

"All he can give the Lin family is this barren land in the northern border!"

"What talk of guarding the northern border and repelling external threats while maintaining internal stability!"

"To put it bluntly, he wants the Lin family to work for him!"

“I am different. If I ascend the throne, the Lin family will no longer have to struggle in this bitter and cold land!”

"Isn't your wife an expert in pharmacology and aspire to cure the world's ills?"

"Wang Ben could have achieved that for her!"

Lin Yunche lowered his sword and asked coldly, "Your Highness, are you saying the Lin family isn't a traitor?"

"You were the one who personally presented the letters that led to my uncle's secret dealings with the Northern Dynasty."

"Even if Your Highness is willing, it will not be easy to reverse the truth. How can you really exonerate the Lin family?"

Seeing that Lin Yunche's murderous intent had subsided, the Prince of Huai relaxed a bit and said, "Don't worry about that!"

"That letter was forged by Zhuang Qi, one of my advisors."

"As long as Zhuang Qi's handwriting is compared with the handwriting on that document, everything will become clear!"

"Besides, Zhuang Qi is dead, and there's no way to verify anything now that he's dead!"

"As long as I am here." "Whoosh!" A sword light flashed before the King of Huai's eyes, and a bloody gash appeared on the King of Huai's chest.

"You!" Prince Huai glared angrily at Lin Yunche.

Lin Yunche curled his lips into a wicked smile and said, "Your Highness, does that mean that the Lin family was wrongly accused of treason more than twenty years ago?"

The Prince of Huai quickly rolled his eyes, "Yes! He's innocent!"

"But it wasn't me who did it, believe me, it was Zhuang Qi who acted on his own!"

"It's Zhuang Qi!"

Before the Prince of Huai could explain further, Lin Yunche slashed at him with his sword again, this time piercing the Prince of Huai's thigh, causing a spurt of blood to gush out.

The Prince of Huai looked at the wound on his leg in horror and quickly covered it with his hands.

"No! No! I'll die if I do this!"

"Lin Yunche, you can't... you have to save me!"

Lin Yunche suddenly smiled and gently twisted his wrist. "Your Highness, will you die?"

"Have you forgotten that more than twenty years ago, hundreds of thousands of Lin family soldiers also died?"

"Have you forgotten that the people in the two cities you handed over to us will also die?"

Prince Huai shook his head, "It wasn't me, I told you it wasn't me!"

"It was Zhuang Qi who offered me this advice. He said that by forming an alliance with the Northern Dynasty, I would have the opportunity to strengthen my power."

"He said that as long as he could successfully frame the Lin family army, the northern border would be under his control."

"It's him, it's all his fault!"

"If you want revenge, if you want to settle scores, then go find him!"

The Prince of Huai trembled all over and said in terror.

Lin Yunche closed his eyes slightly and brought his sword down. The person in front of him looked at Lin Yunche with resentment, unable to utter a sound.

"The Prince of Huai is dead!"

"The Prince of Huai is dead!"

This news instantly caused an uproar in the Huai King's army camp.

Upon hearing this news, Luan Heng, who was hiding not far away, slapped his thigh in anger.

"General, the Prince of Huai is dead, what should we do?"

Luan Heng had originally hoped to rely on the Prince of Huai to return to the Northern Dynasty, but now it seems that this path has been blocked.

If he wants to return to the Northern Dynasty, he has no choice but to surrender to Lin Yunche!
Da da da!
Just as Luan Heng was still undecided, a massive army of 100,000 suddenly appeared in the distance.

"Is it reinforcements?"

Luan Heng suddenly became excited. He knew it. How could the king possibly abandon him?

It must be reinforcements from the Northern Dynasty!

Luan Heng and his men mounted their horses and prepared to head towards the army.

But after walking only ten miles, Luan Heng realized something was wrong!
Their attire and battle flags, from any angle, do not resemble those of the Northern Dynasty's army.

"General, it's the Shang army!" someone noticed and shouted.

Luan Heng squinted and finally saw the large character "Shang" written on the battle flag in the distance!
"Damn it! Lin Sishu, it's all his fault that I've been driven to this desperate situation!"

"If I ever manage to return to the Northern Dynasty alive, I will tear him to pieces!"

But how can he leave the Shang Kingdom now?

Luan Heng's fingertips, gripping the reins, turned white; for a moment, he didn't know where to go.

At this moment, the soldier who had just recognized the Shang Kingdom's battle flag stepped forward and whispered a few words in Luan Heng's ear.

Luan Heng's previously dejected expression immediately returned to its radiant state.

"wonderful!"

"How wonderful!"

Luan Heng reached out and patted the soldier's shoulder lightly, "You rascal! If we can really get this done!"

"Don't worry, I'll reward you handsomely when we get back!"

After saying that, Luan Heng wiped his face on the ground, smeared it with black ink, and led the soldiers behind him to meet them.

Lord Cui saw a group of people approaching him from afar.

As the man approached, Lord Cui's expression hardened. "The Prince of Huai's army?"

"How dare he come forward?"

Bai Chengdong frowned slightly as the person in front of him approached.

"General, go and take a look!"

"The Lin family army, under the guise of redressing grievances, colluded with the Northern Dynasty and has now occupied Beifeng City!"

"If you had arrived any later, you might not have been able to take back Northwind City!"

Luan Heng thought that Lord Cui would set off quickly, but to his surprise, Lord Cui stared at him coldly and asked, "Who are you?"

"Are they traitors from the Prince of Huai's rebel army?"

Luan Heng shook his head violently, "General, you are wise!"

"I am just a lowly soldier in the army of the Prince of Huai. The Prince of Huai is dead."

"Beifeng City fell into the hands of the Northern Dynasty."

"General, don't hesitate any longer! If you hesitate any longer, the entire northern lands will be handed over to others by the Lin family again!"

"If you don't believe me, you can send troops to investigate now. The North Wind City Tower is full of Northern Dynasty soldiers."

After Luan Heng finished speaking, he looked intently at Lord Cui.

Lord Cui raised an eyebrow and waved his hand, and all the soldiers stepped forward.
