I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

Jin Ge still did not order everyone to eat, even though everyone was starving and their stomachs were growling.

Jin Ge simply raised his eyes and asked, "You can't accept something for nothing. Why are you so kind as to not only keep us warm but also give us meat to eat?"

Jin Ge clearly didn't believe that the people of Da Zhou would be so kind!

"Of course you deserve credit!"

Qin Li rubbed the jade thumb ring on his thumb and smiled slightly, "Your greatest contribution is staying here as our prisoners and hostages!"

"General Jin, you may not know this, but your Empress has already captured Qingling Pass yesterday!"

"She's probably trying to figure out a way to rescue you right now."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Northern Barbarian tribe, except for Jin Ge, looked at each other with joy and clenched their fists in excitement!

They did not expect that the Empress would capture Qingling Pass so quickly, which means they will be rescued soon!

Jin Ge wasn't happy, because his focus wasn't on the Empress at all; instead, he said:

"How does Your Highness know my name? I have never revealed my name from beginning to end."

"Not yesterday, and not today!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Ge's men immediately stopped smiling.

Yes, their general has never revealed his name.

How did the other party find out?

Could it be that they can predict the future?

Just like their strategist Zhuge Yu.

If that's the case, then it's terrifying.

At this moment, Wei Hongying, who had already sat down in the chair, smiled and pointed at Jin Ge:

"General Jin, there's no need to be nervous. It's not surprising that we know your name."

"We know not only you, but both of them!"

Wei Hongying pointed to the two people closest to Jin Ge, "They are both princes of your Northern Mang. One is named Murong Qianjun, and the other is named Murong Wanma. Qianjun is the elder brother, and Wanma is the younger brother, right?"

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, then quickly reached out and grabbed Jin Ge, somewhat panicked, "Old Jin, they actually know our names too?"

"We didn't say anything either, just like you."

Jin Ge was speechless.

Hey Hey hey!

Do you want to see how tall you two brothers are?

They were both incredibly tall and strong, like two black bears.

He actually looked quite slim next to the two brothers.

The two brothers could kill a tiger with one punch, what's there to panic about!

So what if the people of the Great Zhou could predict the future? They were still chased and beaten by the Northern Barbarians, leaving them utterly humiliated.

Besides, he simply didn't believe that the people of the Great Zhou could predict the future; they were all just bluffing!

"A spy!"

Jin Ge squinted, looking at Qin Li and then at Wei Hongying. "You have spies planted in our Northern Mang army, and these spies are of high rank and hold high positions in our army. They might even be right next to His Majesty. Because ordinary spies would never know my name, let alone the two princes."

Qin Li pinched his chin with one hand, frowned, and thought for a moment.

Fang Yuan, you've infiltrated their core command so quickly? And you've gotten close to the Northern Mang Empress so fast?

That's way too fast.

As expected of the protagonist, his abilities are truly impressive; he's as capable as three people!

Got it!

Qin Li suddenly lowered his hand, realizing something was wrong.

Based on his experience as a bookworm for ten years, this trip to the border was a fortuitous adventure arranged by the author, Dog Bag. A remarkable woman like the Empress was bound to be conquered by the protagonist and become part of his harem!

He originally thought that the Northern Mang Empress would be Qin Feng's harem, but he never expected that she would be Fang Yuan's.

No, why should I?

Is Fang Yuan a plagiarist?

Is Fang Yuan even more ruthless and vicious than him, and yet he seems like a villain?

He felt that Fang Yuan was unworthy, and he felt indignant for his little brother Qin Feng!

"Judging from Your Highness's expression, I guessed right!" Jin Ge chuckled.

Qin Li snapped out of his daze and didn't deny it. "If you say so, then so be it. No one should accuse anyone of having spies. Don't you Northern Mang have spies planted within our Great Zhou?"

"Otherwise, how could my Great Zhou have suffered such a complete defeat, with all of our renowned generals perishing in battle!"

Wei Hongying nodded in strong agreement!

Since arriving at the border, she has carefully reviewed every war between the Great Zhou and the Northern Mang.

There are many reasons for the defeat of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but this time, the defeat was so quick and so thorough, and so many high-ranking generals died in battle. This is the first time since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty that such a defeat has occurred.

Who would believe that the Northern Barbarians didn't plant any spies?

If there hadn't been spies planted, so many high-ranking officers wouldn't have died in battle.

In any case, their subordinates will protect their lives and help them escape.

"Hahaha."

Jin Ge suddenly laughed, "Do you think everyone is like your Great Zhou, liking to arrange for people to do shady things? We grassland warriors only like to be straightforward. If we can win, we fight; if we can't, we admit defeat! To win a war using underhanded means would be a disgrace to us grassland warriors!"

"Spies? Her Majesty the Empress has never mentioned them. As for why so many of your high-ranking officers died, you'll have to ask yourselves!"

After saying that, Jin Ge grabbed a piece of meat from the bowl and ate it in big bites.

To be honest, he was starving, and since he was sure the other party hadn't poisoned him, he figured he might as well eat it.

His men, seeing this, also grabbed pieces of meat and stuffed them into their mouths.

Especially the thousands of soldiers, who were starving and had their mouths full of oil.

Qin Li did not disturb the Northern Barbarians while they were eating meat.

One pot of meat wasn't enough, so he asked someone to cook several more pots.

The group ate three large bowls of food before letting out a satisfied burp and patting their bellies contentedly.

At this moment, the clothes prepared for the group were also brought over.

Jin Ge told everyone to get up and change their clothes. The snow on their bodies had already melted, soaking their clothes.

It's really uncomfortable to wear!

"Young lady, aren't you going to avoid me?"

"We grown men are incredibly rough when we change clothes!"

"If the girl sees something she shouldn't see, our loss is secondary; what we're worried about is that it will leave her with a lifelong psychological trauma."

After saying that, Jin Ge burst into laughter.

Wei Hongying clenched her fists, really wanting to fight Jin Ge.

They're prisoners of war, yet they're still so arrogant.

To her surprise, Qin Li simply waved his hand, telling her to temporarily step aside.

Before Wei Hongying got up to leave, she pointed at Jin Ge and said fiercely, "I'll deal with you later!"

After saying that, Wei Hongying left the shelter and waited outside.

"These boots are mine!"

"Why should I? I saw it first!"

"What I say is mine is mine, give it to me!"

"No!"

During the process of changing clothes, the two brothers, Qianjun and Wanma, almost got into a fight over the ownership of a pair of boots. Even Jin Ge couldn't stop them!

"General Jin, do you need any help?"

Sitting in the chair, Qin Li asked with a smile.

"Do you have a solution?"

Jin Ge looked at Qin Li, clearly disbelieving.

Thousands of soldiers have fought each other since childhood, and only the Empress can keep the two in check; no one else can.

Otherwise, this mission wouldn't have failed!

"Why don't you try and see?"

After saying that, Qin Li waved his hand.

Zhou Biao stepped forward and, without saying a word, threw the boots into the brazier.

First, a plume of black smoke rose up, and then the boots quickly caught fire.

The group was choked by the increasing smoke and quickly left the shelter one after another.

"Why are you all out here?"

Wei Hongying, who was waiting outside, suddenly saw everyone coming out and asked in confusion.

"It's alright."

Qin Li smiled and looked at Jin Ge, "The problem is solved, isn't it?"

Jin Ge's lips twitched.

Looking at the two brothers, they had indeed given up on competing.

This... can be considered a solution!
