I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

"I heard everything."

No sooner had Jin Ge stepped into the tent than he heard the Empress, who was sitting on the bed holding a baby girl in swaddling clothes, speaking.

"It is my incompetence that has led to this!"

Jin Ge knelt on one knee, tears welling in his eyes.

He was suddenly forced to abdicate due to a major upheaval.

The empress was unable to feed the princess herself and had to find goat milk from outside to feed her.

But who knew he would mess up something so simple?

The goat milk was spilled all over the ground.

"You may leave. I need to breastfeed the princess."

"The Empress commanded."

"Your Majesty, your health..."

Jin Ge didn't leave; he looked at the Empress with great concern.

However, he immediately clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will go and fetch more goat milk, immediately!"

After saying that, Jin Ge dragged his crippled leg and jogged away from the tent.

"No need."

The Empress gently shook her head and said, "Murong Jin has already set his sights on the princess. If he can smash the first can of goat milk, he can smash the second, the third..."

In other words, no goat milk could be delivered into this little tent unless the princess died, or Murong Jin died.

However, in this Northern Mang army camp, the latter possibility is extremely slim.

"Your Majesty, I will definitely get some goat's milk, I will! Please believe me!"

Jin Ge knelt down on one knee and made a pledge.

Under Jin Ge's gaze, the Empress stood up, holding the baby girl, and walked straight toward him.

Walking up to Jin Ge, the Empress freed one hand to help him up.

But Jin Ge instinctively stepped back, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

But the Empress still reached out and helped him up by the arm, saying:

"I believe you can definitely get the goat milk, because you are my all-powerful general and the number one warrior of our grasslands."

"However, I cannot lose you for the sake of the princess's food."

Jin Ge's broken leg was not entirely his own fault; she and the princess played a large part in the reason.

If Jin Ge insists on getting goat milk, Murong Jin will definitely kill him.

"Your Majesty, this humble general cares!"

Jin Ge had long since disregarded his own life and death; he only hoped that the Empress and the Princess would live well, and even if he died, it would be worth it.

Just as the two were pulling at each other, a series of chaotic footsteps suddenly came from outside the tent, and there were quite a few people.

Jin Ge's eyes suddenly hardened as he looked towards the tent entrance and said through gritted teeth:

"It must be that executioner Murong Jin causing trouble again. Your Majesty, please take the princess and don't come out. I'll go and deal with him again."

After saying that, Jin Ge was about to rush out of the tent, but the Empress ignored his advice and still hugged the princess as they walked out of the tent together.

Bathed in the long-awaited sunlight, the Empress felt dizzy and almost lost her balance, but fortunately Jin Ge caught her in time.

This is why Jin Ge is determined to find goat milk again. The Empress's body no longer supports her feeding the princess; otherwise, it will definitely leave irreversible damage.

"Your Majesty, it really is Murong Jin!"

Looking at Murong Jin, who had returned, Jin Ge clenched his fist.

After a moment's pause, the Empress said, "It is him, but there are others. Our reinforcements have arrived."

"reinforcement?"

Jin Ge frowned.

They are now in the very center of the army, next to the central command tent.

Surrounded by the Murong brothers' men, where would any reinforcements come from?

"Stop! Stop now!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for chopping your snake to pieces!"

Murong Jin, wielding a scimitar, led a group of soldiers, retreating continuously while shouting as he went.

Only when he retreated close enough to the tent could Jin Ge see clearly what Murong Jin and his men were facing: countless brightly colored venomous snakes.

The one controlling the venomous snake was a hunched old man, and behind him stood a dozen or so young swordsmen.

Although the swordsmen were young, the aura they exuded indicated that each of them was a master of martial arts.

"Your Majesty, who are they?"

Jin Ge asked doubtfully.

The Empress, holding the child, squinted and said, "If I'm not mistaken, that is the head of the three Grandmasters of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Elder Snake!"

The old snake stopped, and the swarm of venomous snakes also stopped, each raising its head and frantically flicking its tongue.

Murong Jin breathed a sigh of relief; his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat.

"Old man, no matter how powerful you are, you can't fight against four hands with two fists. How dare you force your way into my Northern Barbarian army camp?!"

Murong Jin shouted sharply, his curved blade flashing like snow!

Old Snake didn't speak, but simply moved the index finger of his left hand.

The lead venomous snake, a dark green one, moved with incredible speed, instantly climbing up Murong Jin's body from his feet, coiling around his neck, and opening its blood-red maw before him.

The two fangs gleamed with a chilling light under the sunlight.

At such speed, Murong Jin had absolutely no time to react.

By the time he reacted and raised his knife, the venomous snake was about to bite his face.

"Wait a moment, senior!"

The curtain of the central command tent was suddenly flung open.

A middle-aged man who bore a striking resemblance to Murong Jin emerged from inside.

This person is Murong Qingcang's eldest son, named Murong Bo!

"Brother, you've come at the perfect time!"

"Give the order immediately to kill this man!"

"The Great Zhou only has three Grandmasters. Killing this old bastard will greatly weaken the Great Zhou!"

Murong Jin shouted happily.

As soon as he said that, the venomous snake wrapped around his neck opened its mouth wide again, spraying his face with foul-smelling saliva.

"Senior, wait!"

Murong Bo reached out his hand and quickly walked down the steps in front of the central command tent.

He cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to the old snake, a smile plastered on his face: "Senior, please forgive me. My younger brother just spoke without thinking!"

"Big brother..."

"Shut up!"

Murong Bo shouted and cursed.

Murong Jin immediately fell silent.

In his entire life, he only fears two people.

One is his father, Murong Qingcang, and the other is his elder brother, Murong Bo.

Seeing that Murong Jin had shut up, Murong Bo continued to smile obsequiously and bowed to Elder Snake, saying:

"Senior, please have mercy and spare my younger brother."

Snake Elder then waved his hand, and the venomous snake that was wrapped around Murong Jin's neck slowly loosened its grip on him. However, it still did not get off Murong Jin's body and continued to coil and slither around him.

Murong Jin kept his eyes fixed on the venomous snake on his body, terrified.

"In the entire Northern Mang army camp, you're the only one who still looks like a human being."

Snake Elder gave a brief assessment of Murong Bo, then said, "Alright, have your people withdraw. Also, prepare lodging for me. I'm exhausted from traveling all the way from the capital of Great Zhou to your place."

Murong Bo nodded and quickly ordered people to prepare lodgings, the best lodgings available.

Murong Jin looked at his elder brother Murong Bo, puzzled.

Murong Bo gave a brief explanation, saying that he had invited Elder Snake and his group.

In exchange, their people could also enter the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty to make contact with Murong Qingcang and his group who were heading towards Xuanque Pass.

He needed to confirm whether his father, Murong Qingcang, had been alright after staying in the capital of Da Zhou for so long.

Otherwise, exchanging hostages would be nothing but empty talk.
