I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

Seeing Xia Liu about to leave with Chun Tao, Fang Yuan completely lost his temper, waving his arms and roaring:

"Don't go! Don't go!"

"Did I let you leave? Did I let you leave?!"

"You two are both ungrateful wretches, ungrateful wretches!"

"I truly regret my actions! If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have bought you back in the first place. You deserved to be sold into a brothel and ridden by thousands!"

Before that, the two sisters continued walking without stopping.

But at the last sentence, the two sisters stopped in their tracks without prior arrangement.

At the same time, she turned around and glared fiercely at Fang Yuan.

Finally, she said it!

That's just who he was.

They've all been deceived, deceived for so many years.

"You two brats, you dare glare at me?! You dare glare at me?!"

Fang Yuan was furious, his chest felt like it was going to explode, and he was about to rush up and teach the two a lesson.

One person slapped them a few times to wake them up.

"OP, calm down!"

Everyone stopped Fang Yuan and exchanged glances, signaling the two to leave quickly.

Fang Yuan was furious, so it was best to leave quickly.

"Walk!"

Xia Liu pulled Chun Tao away again, without the slightest hesitation.

Chun Tao nodded emphatically, indicating that she was willing to go anywhere as long as she could be with her sister.

"You dare to defy me?!"

With a roar like an ox, Fang Yuan made no distinction between friend and foe.

He kicked everyone to the ground again, and was about to chase after the two sisters once more.

He was determined to teach them a lesson and make them realize their mistake.

clang!

But a silver spear suddenly shot out, halting Fang Yuan's pursuit.

The silver spear shot out in front of Fang Yuan and embedded itself deeply into the soil.

"Hahaha."

"I never expected that Master Fang would have this side to him!"

"If word gets out, Master Fang's reputation will be quite impressive."

A hearty laugh rang out, and not only Fang Yuan looked up, but everyone else did too.

On the earthen wall, Wei Hongying sat with one leg bent and one arm casually draped over her shoulder, watching the play.

Upon seeing that it was Wei Hongying, Fang Yuan quickly suppressed the violent expression on his face, bowed, clasped his hands in a salute, and forced a dry smile, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

"I'm truly embarrassed for you, Commander Wei. What brings you here, Commander Wei?"

The stark contrast in Fang Yuan's expression, attitude, and behavior before and after was utterly repulsive to the two sisters.

The two arrived at the foot of the earthen wall and bowed to Wei Hongying.

Wei Hongying brought them here so they could say a proper goodbye to Fang Yuan.

Tomorrow, Fang Yuan will be led to the front of the army and beheaded. From then on, they will be the people of the First Prince's residence.

Before they came here, they actually sided with Fang Yuan and wanted to tell him the truth. They had all been infected with the Obedience Gu by Qin Li and were no longer in control of their own lives!

At worst, I'll die with Fang Yuan tomorrow, and in the next life I'll still be his servant.

But to their surprise, Fang Yuan didn't give them a chance to tell the truth!

Waving to the two sisters, Wei Hongying took the water pouch from her waist, unscrewed it, and took a small sip. The spiciness made her face contort in pain.

At the border, from generals to ordinary soldiers, the water bags were filled mostly with wine, not water.

This stuff can quench your thirst and warm you up; it's much better than water.

After taking a small sip, Wei Hongying pointed the water pouch at Fang Yuan and joked:

"The First Prince once said that you were the most treacherous and scheming among Qin Feng and Su Chen, but I didn't believe it. I thought about it, and you're just a lowly son-in-law, and at most the leader of a third-rate assassin organization in the martial arts world. How treacherous could you be? How deep could your scheming be?"

"After seeing you tonight, I am completely convinced."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan's dry smile deepened, and his eyes flickered more noticeably as he pondered a countermeasure.

As far as he knew, Wei Hongying had just led the army to a head-on victory against the Iron Pagoda, and was a favorite in the army, as well as the bedmate of the eldest prince Qin Li.

He had hoped that if he could get her to plead for him and whisper in Qin Li's ear, he might be able to escape tomorrow's calamity.

But now it seems unlikely; Wei Hongying is just watching him make a fool of himself.

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

Wei Hongying continued to joke, taking another swig of wine.

"I don't know what to say."

Fang Yuan lowered his head even further.

Now, all he wanted was to get rid of Wei Hongying as soon as possible.

I encountered far too many unpleasant things today.

First, his meritorious service was accused of being unauthorized, and he was to be beheaded the next day. Then, two damned girls went against him.

He didn't want another unpleasant experience to happen.

"Don't know what to say?"

Wei Hongying looked up at the night sky, as if deep in thought.

After a while, she pointed at Fang Yuan with the hand that was holding the water bag, "I know you don't know what to say."

"I'm all ears!"

Fang Yuan said.

Wei Hongying's gaze shifted, fixing on Fang Yuan. "Apologize to them!"

"what?"

Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then raised his head.

Apologize?

to whom?

For them?

Spring peaches and summer willows?

How is that possible?

The two of them should be the ones apologizing, not him.

Chun Tao and Xia Liu were also stunned. Wei Hongying, this shameless woman, was clearly the fiancée of the Seventh Prince Qin Feng, yet she climbed into the bed of the First Prince Qin Li, and now she actually demanded that Fang Yuan apologize to them.

Could Wei Hongying really be so kind?

"Huh? What?"

Wei Hongying emphasized, "This captain's patience has its limits, and time is even more precious. Apologize quickly, and then I'll take them both back and complete my mission smoothly, otherwise..."

Wei Hongying didn't finish her sentence, but everyone knew that if they didn't do as she said, the consequences would be dire.

"Captain, I have no idea what you're talking about!"

Fang Yuan lowered his head again and clenched his fists.

I want him to apologize to Chun Tao and Xia Liu.

That is absolutely impossible.

Whoosh!

Wei Hongying nimbly jumped off the earthen wall and walked step by step toward Fang Yuan.

Pulling the silver spear from the ground, Wei Hongying held the water pouch in one hand and the spear in the other, pointing it at Fang Yuan's throat, and shouted, "I don't want to say the same thing a third time!"

Fang Yuan's face was grim. He didn't understand why Wei Hongying was so determined to make things difficult for him and force him to apologize to Chun Tao and Xia Liu. He hadn't offended Wei Hongying at all.

The scene froze for a moment!

Finally, Xia Liu stepped forward, stood behind Wei Hongying, and bowed slightly to her:

"Captain of the Guards, let's go. Don't keep His Highness the Crown Prince waiting."

Wei Hongying glanced at Xia Liu, but did not put away the silver spear in her hand, and even felt a bit disappointed in her.

He stood up for the two of them, but Xia Liu unexpectedly undermined her and gave Fang Yuan a way out.

However, Wei Hongying soon found some comfort in her heart.

Chun Tao stepped forward and hugged Xia Liu's arm. "Sister, let's not worry about this anymore."

They dragged and pulled Xia Liu away.

Wei Hongying smiled.

The older sister doesn't understand as well as the younger sister. Chuntao is a promising young girl.

Watching the two retreat back to the earthen wall, Wei Hongying looked at Fang Yuan again, and suddenly thrust the tip of her spear forward an inch, now only a finger's width away from Fang Yuan's throat.

"Master Fang, do you insist on seeing bloodshed before you'll bow your head?!"

Fang Yuan took a deep breath, looked directly at Wei Hongying, and said, "Why should I apologize to both of them?"

"You think you can say anything decent?"

"They've served you for years; even if they haven't done anything particularly meritorious, they've certainly put in the hard work. And you dare to say they deserve to be ridden by thousands!"

"Shouldn't they apologize?!"

Fang Yuan snorted coldly, showing no fear whatsoever. "Shouldn't it be the case? I treated them so well, and in the end, they betrayed me!"

"Just now, they said it themselves: the eldest prince is waiting for them."

"Listen to this, I, Fang Yuan, am not even dead yet, and they've already found new suitors, unable to resist throwing themselves into the arms of the First Prince."

"These disloyal and unrighteous people deserve to be torn to pieces. What's wrong with me cursing them a couple of times? I'm letting them off easy."

After saying that, Fang Yuan stuck out his neck, clearly unconvinced.

He believed he was not wrong; the fault lay with Chuntao and Xialiu.

"Captain, thank you for your kindness, but there's really no need to say so much. Let's go," Xia Liu said again.

This time, however, she wasn't offering Fang Yuan a way out; she was simply utterly disappointed in him and didn't even want to hear his voice. She just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

But Fang Yuan misunderstood and roared, "Shut up! Don't pretend! You're the one who corrupted your sister!"

"What can I say? You didn't come to the border this time; you were definitely secretly looking for another job behind my back!"

Chun Tao was displeased with these words.

Xia Liu didn't defend herself; she defended her sister.

"You're the one who should shut up!"

Chun Tao, puffing up her cheeks, ignored Xia Liu's attempts to stop her and said, "Do you know that we went to assassinate Qin Li for you! We failed and were captured. My sister didn't come with us because she was still recovering from her injuries, not because she was secretly looking for a replacement, as you said."

"But what about you? You don't remember your sister at all!"

"What?!!"

Fang Yuan was utterly shocked, his eyes widening in disbelief...
