I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

"Wait, let's get this straight first!"

Qin Li stopped Xiao Xue'er and grabbed her hands.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xue'er leaned into Qin Li's arms and sat on his lap.

The entire set of movements was as smooth as flowing water, clearly showing that she had practiced a lot in private.

Reaching out to wrap her arms around Qin Li's neck, Xiao Xue'er's eyes were filled with seductive allure as she breathed her fragrant breath onto Qin Li's face, "Your Highness is so naughty~"

Qin Li couldn't help but shudder!

Damn it!

This girl is really something!

How did she know she was susceptible to this?

Reaching out to stroke Xiao Xue'er's snow-white face, Qin Li chuckled mischievously, "Now can you tell me, Xue'er, what exactly do you want to do?"

"sure."

Xiao Xue'er giggled.

After saying that, Xiao Xue'er looked aggrieved again and said:

"Xue'er knows she was wrong!"

"Xue'er was naughty before, didn't know how to cherish His Highness's affection for her, and even got involved with that good-for-nothing Qin Feng. Xue'er really knows she was wrong."

"Only now does Xue'er realize who treats her best!"

"It's His Highness, it's His Highness who treats Xue'er the best!"

Qin Li got goosebumps all over his body... Was this Xiao Xue'er's confession to him?

What exactly happened that made Xiao Xue'er so distraught? He was very curious.

"continue!"

Qin Li said.

Xiao Xue'er wrapped her arms even tighter around Qin Li's neck, "Your Highness's talent and strategy are truly admirable!"

"Our Great Zhou will surely win the battle seven days from now!"

"After winning, Your Highness will become the Crown Prince!"

"If Xue'er does something stupid again, wouldn't she really be stupid?"

After speaking, Xiao Xue'er blinked her big eyes, looking adorable.

However, Qin Li still did not fully understand Xiao Xue'er's meaning.

How could Xiao Xue'er be so sure that she would win in seven days!

Judging from her tone, she was 100% certain.

But Qin Li only achieved 70% or 80%.

Seeing that Qin Li was still slightly frowning, Xiao Xue'er kissed him on the cheek and said reproachfully, "Your Highness, stop fooling yourself. Your Highness's move to send people deep behind enemy lines was truly brilliant!"

Qin Li reached out and touched the spot where Xiao Xue'er had kissed him. "You've really confused this prince."

Xiao Xue'er pouted, "Is Your Highness still pretending?"

"What was I pretending for?"

Qin Li shouted that he was innocent; he really wasn't pretending.

Xiao Xue'er couldn't help but sit up straight, puzzled, and asked, "Taking advantage of the fact that the Northern Barbarians have just captured Qingling Pass and their defenses are not strong enough, you had someone poison the drinking water source at Qingling Pass, so that they can't fight us? Wasn't that Your Highness's idea?"

boom!

This statement came out.

Qin Li's mind was completely blank.

What?!

Poisoned?

where?

The water source has been poisoned!

Are you out of your mind?! Who would poison the water supply?!

Qin Li had indeed considered this method before, and it was indeed a brilliant plan to defeat the Northern Barbarians!

Upon further reflection, Qin Li decisively ruled out this method.

This method shortens one's lifespan and will make the Northern Barbarians relentless in their pursuit of victory!

If they can't win a direct fight, they resort to poisoning in secret.

If you were from the Northern Barbarians, what would you do?

They're definitely going to fight the Great Zhou to the death.

Here, he had just made an agreement with the Empress to have a fair and open fight seven days later.

If we win, it will all be over.

So, someone was poisoning the water source behind his back?

This isn't helping; it's making things worse.

Pure stupidity!

If the Empress were to unilaterally break the agreement because of this, Qin Li would definitely go insane!

Realizing something was wrong, Qin Li quickly grabbed Xiao Xue'er's shoulders, who was sitting on his lap, with both hands.

"What exactly happened? Tell me now!!!"

Xiao Xue'er's tears were almost falling. "Your Highness, it hurts..."

Qin Li didn't let go, and shouted even louder, "Tell me quickly, what exactly happened?!"

Xiao Xue'er dared not deny it, "Yes, it was Chun Tao who came back. She told me..."

……

boom!

Fifteen minutes later.

Qin Li and Zhou Biao rushed over here in a hurry and kicked open the wooden door of the shelter prepared for Xiao Xue'er.

Xiao Xue'er and Xia Liu usually live here.

Chuntao will definitely come here after she returns.

Just as Qin Li had predicted, Chun Tao was inside.

However, the sudden sound of the door being kicked startled the two sisters who were talking inside the shelter, causing them to tremble.

Seeing Qin Li, who was standing at the head of the group and looking furious, Xia Liu subconsciously stood up and stretched out her arms to protect Chun Tao, who had just returned.

"Take it down!"

Without saying a word, Zhou Biao and his men immediately stepped forward, quickly subdued the two sisters, twisted their arms, and forced them to kneel on the ground.

Qin Li then walked in, while Xiao Xue'er, who had come with him outside, was trembling with fear, wondering why Qin Li was acting this way.

After entering, Qin Li went straight to Chun Tao, reached out and pinched her face to make her lift her neck.

Chun Tao didn't give Qin Li, that villain, a friendly look, and glared at him fiercely.

If it weren't for Qin Li, she and her sister Xia Liu wouldn't have ended up in such a predicament.

"Your Highness, please forgive me, my sister just returned from the enemy camp!"

"She did nothing wrong, Your Highness, please spare her life!"

Xia Liu knew that if they went head-to-head now, the two sisters had no chance of winning, so they could only back down and say conciliatory things.

"Sister, why beg him?"

Chun Tao sneered, feeling that her sister shouldn't be so spineless.

Snapped!

He slapped her across the face without hesitation. "Tell me, what exactly did Fang Yuan do at Qingling Pass?"

Five finger marks immediately appeared on Chun Tao's delicate cheek, and her mouth was also bleeding from Qin Li's slap.

She pursed her lips, spat out a mouthful of blood, and Chun Tao's fierce gaze towards Qin Li remained unchanged.

"Just kill me."

"I won't say anything."

Snapped!

Another slap.

This time it's symmetrical.

Qin Li then released Chun Tao and looked at Xia Liu, "As her older sister, you should give her some advice."

"I'll give you half an incense stick's time. If you can't persuade them, you'll all die together."

After saying that, Qin Li put his hands behind his back, turned around and left the shelter.

It comes quickly and goes quickly.

Zhou Biao and the others glared fiercely at the two sisters a few times before releasing them and leaving with Qin Li.

However, they didn't go far; they stayed outside the shelter to prevent the two sisters from escaping.

After everyone left, Xia Liu, ignoring her twisted arm, used both hands and feet to get to Chun Tao.

She knelt on the ground, carefully cupping Chun Tao's swollen face in her hands, her eyes filled with tears, "Silly Chun Tao, why are you so silly?"

Chuntao looked at her sister and sighed deeply...

Outside the shelter, Qin Li didn't go far; he needed to get the information about the situation inside Qingling Pass from Chun Tao as soon as possible.

However, judging from the situation, Xia Liu will have to put in a lot of effort to persuade Chun Tao.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Li ordered, "Go, summon Qin Feng and Su Chen to me!"

"yes!"

Zhou Biao clasped his hands in response, then quickly turned around and waved his hand, telling two people to take care of the matter.
