I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

From afar, they saw Qin Feng riding a horse from the supply camp.

Su Chen, who had been waiting by the roadside with grass roots in his mouth, quickly stood up, patted his buttocks, and stretched out his arm to block them.

"Whoa!"

Pulling on the reins with all its might, the warhorse reared up on its two front hooves, letting out a long neigh.

Having finally managed to stop his horse, Qin Feng couldn't help but yell, "You little brat, are you out of your mind?!"

Su Chen ignored all that, spat out the grass roots in his mouth, stepped forward to pull the reins, and looked up at Qin Feng, saying:

"Of course I want it! Why wouldn't I? If I didn't want it, I wouldn't have stopped you here beforehand."

Jumping off his horse, Qin Feng frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Su Chen asked first, "Have you heard about the duel between Qin Li and the Northern Mang Empress in seven days?"

Qin Feng nodded.

Although he lived far away, the news of the challenge spread quickly and reached his ears long ago.

Now, probably everyone in the entire army knows about the challenge, and it's likely the same is true for the Northern Barbarians.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Feng asked again.

Su Chen said urgently, "Someone is deliberately sabotaging the duel, and Qin Li is furious!"

"Is he crazy?! Is he an idiot?!" Qin Feng blurted out.

Don't get me wrong, he wasn't cursing Qin Li, but rather the person who deliberately broke the agreement.

This challenge is of paramount importance to the Great Zhou Dynasty. If they can win, they will achieve the greatest results with the least cost.

When he first heard the news, he couldn't help but clap his hands in approval and give Qin Li a thumbs up in praise.

But now, someone is deliberately sabotaging the agreed-upon challenge?

This guy must be insane, or an idiot, a complete moron!!!

"Who is this person?"

Qin Feng asked hurriedly.

He wants to see.

Who is this big idiot?

Whether he knows him or not.

If you know him, don't blame him for being ruthless and eliminating a scourge for the people and the country.

"have no idea."

Su Chen shook his head, "However, Qin Li specifically asked to see the two of us, so this person must have a close relationship with both of us."

"What if Qin Li gets dragged into this because of him, and we get implicated?"

"If you ask me, why don't we run away?"

Su Chen didn't want to be implicated and killed by Qin Li's orders.

He still has a lot of unfinished business.

For example, revitalizing the Marquis's mansion, or clearing up the misunderstanding between him and Wei Hongying...

As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn!

"Run my ass!"

Qin Feng cursed, "Where can you run to? Qin Li is all-powerful, and his spies are everywhere in the Great Zhou. Unless you don't want to stay in the Great Zhou anymore."

"What should we do then?"

Su Chen looked utterly hopeless.

He didn't want to fail before he even got started, and he certainly didn't want to start over with a different account.

"don’t worry."

Qin Feng reached out and patted his shoulder, comforting him, "Qin Li didn't necessarily call us over to kill us. If he wanted to kill us, why would he call us over? He could just send a random team to kill us!"

"They've called us over, so they probably have something to discuss with us!"

"You still don't understand Qin Li, my older brother, at all."

"Really?" Su Chen was skeptical of Qin Li's motives, feeling that Qin Feng was lying to him, and that neither of the two brothers was a good person.

"Fine, don't believe me then. You can run if you want, I'm not running!"

After saying that, Qin Feng was about to continue heading towards Qin Li's location.

If I go, Qin Li definitely won't be angry, but if I don't go or go too late, that's another story.

Seeing Qin Feng about to leave, Su Chen quickly followed, "Alright, I'll trust Brother Qin one more time."

Soon, the two arrived at the central command tent.

Inside the large tent, Qin Li sat upright in a grand chair, his expression indifferent, gently stroking the jade thumb ring on his thumb.

Below him, kneeling not far in front of him, were a pair of twin sisters, their bodies delicate and pitiful.

"Spring peaches and summer willows?"

Qin Feng and Su Chen both recognized them.

In the Jiuyi Mountains, they all followed behind Fang Yuan and fought with them.

Looking at the two sisters, Qin Feng and Su Chen couldn't help but exchange a glance...

Could Fang Yuan be the one who broke the agreement?

Yes, very likely!

The two nodded to each other.

"Now that everyone's here, let's begin."

Qin Li's cold voice came, and Qin Feng and Su Chen first bowed to Qin Li and then automatically stood on either side to listen.

Chun Tao remained silent while kneeling on the ground. It was only after Xia Liu reached out and gently tugged at her sleeve that Chun Tao spoke:

"My master Fang Yuan and I, a group of twenty-three, obeyed His Highness's orders at the beginning of the expedition, first infiltrating Xuanque Pass to gather information, and then we..."

In the following time, Chun Tao recounted in detail all the activities Fang Yuan led them to behind enemy lines.

At first, Qin Feng and Su Chen admired Fang Yuan very much.

Fang Yuan was able to lead so many people to successfully infiltrate Xuanque Pass without being discovered.

They also found out so much important information.

But upon hearing the rest, both of them were speechless with anger.

If you say Fang Yuan is clever and capable, he is indeed clever and capable; but if you say he's stupid, he is indeed stupid.

Why take it upon yourself to do something unnecessary and add unnecessary complications by poisoning Qingling Pass?

After Chuntao finished speaking, Qin Li looked at Qin Feng and Su Chen, "What are your thoughts on this, gentlemen?"

The two looked at each other, neither wanting to be the first to answer the question.

Knowing that Qin Li was angry, now was not the time to show off.

Although Qin Li wouldn't kill them, teaching them a lesson would make them suffer just as much.

Xia Liu saw both of them step back. This was her and her sister Chun Tao's chance to prevent Qin Li from implicating them because of Fang Yuan.

Thinking of this, Xia Liu knelt forward and slammed her head heavily on the ground; it looked painful.

Xia Liu said, "Your Highness, this servant believes that Fang Yuan's actions warrant execution!"

Changing the subject, Xia Liu continued, "But all of this has nothing to do with my younger sister, Chun Tao. My sister came back early because she couldn't stand Fang Yuan's actions. She wanted to tell Your Highness that Fang Yuan had ruined Your Highness's grand plan so that Your Highness could make preparations in advance."

Sitting in the armchair, Qin Li grinned. "You certainly know how to talk."

Chun Tao's early return is definitely not what Xia Liu said.

Otherwise, the first thing he should have done upon returning was to see me, not Xia Liu.

Xia Liu said this only to give Chun Tao credit so that she wouldn't have to take the blame.

"Your Highness flatters me!"

Xia Liu prostrated herself deeply on the ground, her entire body touching the earth.

Get up.

Qin Li waved his hand and said, "This prince never intended to punish you two sisters."

"You've all done a great job lately, especially your sister Chun Tao!"

"It's really too much trouble for her to hide by Fang Yuan's side and keep an eye on him for me."

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng and Su Chen, who were standing to the side, couldn't help but exchange another glance.

Qin Li's words contained a lot of information.

Tibetan?

Staring?

When did Chun Tao become Qin Li's woman?

Weren't these two sisters always Fang Yuan's people?

When did Qin Li turn them to the side, and what methods did he use?
