I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

"What, General Jin, are you going to back out?"

"The conditions were proposed by General Kim himself."

"I, the prince, am willing, but General Jin is not?"

"If word gets out, isn't General Jin afraid of being laughed at?"

"Aren't you grassland people the most trustworthy of your promises?"

Qin Li also stood up, looking somewhat angry, his fists clenched.

Clang!

Zhou Biao and the others drew their swords, thinking, "How dare you mess with our Crown Prince? You're asking for death!"

The Northern Barbarians immediately dropped the meat they hadn't finished eating.

He stretched out his arms to block the golden spear behind him, assuming a defensive stance.

The two sides are on the verge of conflict!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jin Ge immediately forced a smile.

He dropped the bone he was holding, pushed aside the person blocking his way, and said with a smile:

"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Your Highness, what are you saying?"

"Yes, we grassland people are the most trustworthy of our promises, and I, Jin Ge, am even more committed to keeping my word!"

"Since Your Highness is so willing to recruit me, Jin Ge dares not refuse!"

After saying that, Jin Ge looked at Zhou Biao, stretched out his hand, and said, "Brother, can I borrow your knife for a moment?"

Zhou Biao glanced at Jin Ge, then at the knife in his hand, instinctively took a step back, frowned, and shouted:

"What are you trying to do? Do you intend to harm our Highness?!"

Seeing that reasoning with him was futile, Jin Ge quickly stepped forward and reached out to snatch the knife.

Zhou Biao was in a dilemma: giving him the gift was bad, and not giving it to him was also bad. He was just short of directly attacking Jin Ge.

Give him the knife.

Qin Li gave the order.

Zhou Biao then let go.

With the knife in hand, Qin Li's guards became even more vigilant, each on high alert, fearing that the golden spear might harm him.

If anything happens to Qin Li, they will be held accountable even if they die a thousand deaths!

To everyone's surprise, Jin Ge simply made a "ripping" sound and cut a gash on his own hand.

Immediately, hot, bright red blood flowed out.

Jin Ge didn't even frown as he stamped his fingerprint on the paper.

After doing all this, Jin Ge returned the knife and said with a smile:

"Your Highness, please calm down. Look, I've put my fingerprint on it! Who says we grassland people don't keep our promises? I, Jin Ge, am the most trustworthy!"

Qin Li took the paper, glanced at it, and snorted coldly, "That's more like it."

After saying that, he handed the paper to Zhou Biao and told him to keep it safe, as it was evidence to prevent anyone from denying it later.

Afterwards, Qin Li's expression suddenly changed, and he said with a smile, "Someone, roast that deer we just hunted yesterday, and give General Jin and his brothers a treat!"

After saying that, Qin Li turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

After watching Qin Li leave, Jin Ge, whose palms were still bleeding profusely, felt increasingly uneasy.

He felt like he'd been tricked!

"General, are you really going to switch sides and pledge allegiance to Qin Li?" The soldiers surrounded him and asked.

"fart!"

Jin Ge cursed, "You'd cut off your own father's head just for some complete stranger?"

The soldiers shook their heads. Of course not!

Who would kill their own father?

Is that even human?

What's the difference between them and animals?

"Therefore, my loyalty, Jin Ge, will forever remain with Her Majesty the Empress!"

Jin Ge's eyes burned as he looked up at the sky and patted his chest.

……

After Qin Li left, he didn't go far. Instead, he gestured to Zhou Biao and the others to continue following him without looking back, and to keep glancing at Wu Daxiong and Chen Gui out of the corner of his eye.

These two had already found quite a few targets and started chatting with them.

The generals they found were initially shocked; it was a mutiny, a deal that would cost them their heads.

But with the persuasion of Wu Daxiong and Chen Gui, they gradually went from being shocked to accepting and becoming resolute.

Today, Qin Li is trying to curry favor with the Northern Barbarians.

They all saw it.

Qin Li is such a disappointment!

They feel ashamed to have such a coach!

"Remember their names, don't let a single one escape!"

Qin Li's eyes hardened.

They had planned to carry out a major purge in the military, but were worried about how to do it. Unexpectedly, Wu Daxiong and Chen Gui were secretly making trouble.

They thought they were doing it very discreetly and that no one would find out.

Little did they know that Qin Li had brought many high-level martial artists with him to the border.

These high-level martial artists are not all intended to deal with the Northern Barbarians.

It is said that a grandmaster can be worth ten thousand troops, and a high-level martial artist is no less so.

However, on the battlefield, the role played by high-level martial artists is relatively small.

The high-ranking martial artists that Qin Li brought were mainly there to monitor the army's every move.

He could keep any disturbance in the army from him!

"Your Highness, I remember. Don't worry, not a single one will escape."

Changing the subject, Zhou Biao added, "But Your Highness, wasn't the agreement you just made with Jin Ge a bit...?"

Zhou Biao couldn't continue speaking.

"What's wrong? Is there something you need?"

Qin Li laughed and said, "You all think that I, the prince, am deliberately trying to curry favor with Northern Mang?"

Zhou Biao and the others quickly bowed and clasped their hands, saying, "Your Highness is a dragon among men, why should you fawn over a bunch of barbarians? Your Highness must have your own reasons for doing this!"

Qin Li laughed, "Not bad! It's a good thing you haven't been with me for this long!"

Qin Li's performance today was deliberately staged for Wu Daxiong and Chen Gui's group, to strengthen their resolve to stage a military coup.

Otherwise, who knows when they would dare to stage a military coup!

Of course, Qin Li also took a liking to Jin Ge!

Now, Qin Li thinks there's a greater chance that Jin Ge is at the peak of the ninth rank!

If we can win him over and make him our own, then this trip won't have been in vain.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Li ordered, "Where is the General? Summon him; I wish to see him."

"Does Your Highness wish to speak with the General?"

Qin Li couldn't help but laugh, "It's a big deal, get those rats in the shadows moving faster!"

A short while later, Wang Hu rode up to Qin Li.

"Nephew, is there something you need?"

"As soon as he arrived, Wang Hu said in a carefree and happy tone."

It must be said that Wang Hu has a very good attitude.

The Northern Barbarians have already captured Qingling Pass, and their next target is this group stationed in the mountains.

These days, the generals are more or less worried, fearing that they will not be able to stop the Northern Barbarians.

But Wang Hu maintained a good attitude throughout.

In his words, so what if he dies? At worst, he'll be a hero again in eighteen years.

"I want the General to take me to Qingling Pass!" Qin Li said.

Upon hearing this, Wang Hu, who was dismounting, slipped and almost fell off his horse.

After finally regaining his footing, Wang Hu went to Qin Li's side, reached out and touched Qin Li's forehead, then touched his own, and muttered to himself:

"You're not sick, so why are you talking nonsense?"

"Is it because you've been under too much pressure lately?"

Unable to understand, unable to understand... Wang Hu was about to summon the military doctor to give Qin Li a proper check-up.

With a major battle imminent, Qin Li, as the commander-in-chief of the army, cannot afford to fall ill.

"General, I'm not sick!"

"This is a military order; execute it immediately!"

Qin Li sent someone to bring Wangcai over, and was about to mount his horse.

Wang Hu quickly grabbed the reins with both hands and stood in front of Qin Li, saying, "Nephew, please don't scare your uncle."

"You gave the order to hide in the mountains, but now you want to lead people to Qingling Pass. Aren't you contradicting yourself?"

Qin Li mounted his horse. "What are you scared of? This is a military order, execute it immediately!"

Having said that, he cracked his whip and galloped off towards Qingling Pass...
