I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

"General Jin, take it easy, take it easy. We've known each other for a long time. Don't you remember? I used to teach you martial arts."

He was being grabbed by the collar, like a little chick, and Wu Da quickly said.

Jin Ge didn't say a word, but simply grabbed Wu Da and carried him to the city wall.

"look!"

"Jin Ge commanded."

Wu Da looked in the direction Jin Ge was pointing.

There was nothing in the distance, but Wu Da knew that it was the territory of the Northern Wilderness, a vast grassland.

"What are you looking at?"

After a while, Wu Da couldn't help but ask.

He really didn't know what Jin Ge was showing him.

The Empress stepped forward, squinting, and looked at him together: "What did you see?"

Wu Da couldn't help but glance at the Empress and say:

"I can understand Your Majesty's resentment, but I was forced into it back then."

Back then, Murong Qingcang set a trap to expose the Empress's true colors, forcing her to abdicate.

Although Wu Da wanted to help the Empress, he was only one person and couldn't fight against Murong Qingcang. He could only listen to Murong Qingcang.

"What a helpless situation."

The Empress asked, "And now?"

Wu Da immediately understood the Empress's meaning and quickly clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Your subject is willing to serve Your Majesty, even unto death."

No need to guess, although the Empress has been doing well in Xuanque Pass all these years, her identity as the Empress of Northern Mang cannot be forgotten.

To get revenge, she needs more help.

"You are very smart."

The Empress commented.

Wu Da smiled awkwardly: "Your Majesty flatters me."

It's not that he's smart, but that he's pragmatic.

Otherwise, he would have died countless times during those three years in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After all, a wise person knows when to yield.

"Take him away."

"The Empress commanded."

Soon, someone took Wu Da away.

After the person left, Jin Ge couldn't help but step forward and say:

"General, this man is a typical opportunist; he bends whichever way the wind blows. His words cannot be trusted."

Jin Ge rarely addresses the Empress as "Your Majesty" anymore, not because he doesn't want to, but because the Empress forbids it.

The Empress said, "How could I not know he's a fence-sitter? But he's a grandmaster. If we use him properly, we can give Murong Qingcang a headache."

Jin Ge asked again, "General, will Murong Qingcang really come?"

Jin Ge has always been skeptical about this issue.

I've heard that Murong Qingcang has managed the Northern Mang region quite well over the years, and the Northern Mang army has already marched as far as the North Sea.

Of course, the northern border of the Great Zhou was no less formidable. If Murong Qingcang were a wise man, he would not have attacked Xuanque Pass.

Because Xuanque Pass is no longer what it used to be, Murong Qingcang would have to pay a bloody price to take it down.

Compared to Xuanque Pass, Murong Qingcang could expand his territory with impunity in other directions.

A smart person wouldn't attack Xuanque Pass.

"Yes, he will definitely come."

The Empress said with absolute certainty.

……

Southern Frontier City!

This city is located at the border between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Buddhist Kingdom.

The general stationed in this city is a prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the King of Jiang!

At the same time, the King of Jiang is also the second prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the second younger brother of Qin Li, and the second older brother of Qin Feng.

"How much longer until we reach Southern Xinjiang City?"

After walking from winter to spring, the army finally arrived in southern Xinjiang.

Qin Feng, who was riding alongside Qin Li, held a map in his hand. After looking at it, he said, "Brother, it's probably still half a day's journey."

Qin Li nodded, narrowed his eyes, and asked, "What's your opinion of this regional king?"

Qin Feng didn't know why Qin Li asked that question.

But after thinking about it, he quickly understood.

Qin Li didn't quite trust this king of the frontier.

Qin Feng replied, "Brother, as far as I know, the King of Jiang was born to my father and the princess of Yelang. In the early years, when our Great Zhou was powerful, the princess of Yelang was forced to come here for a marriage alliance."

"Originally, Father Emperor was very fond of Jiang Wang, but after the princess of Yelang Kingdom was found to be practicing witchcraft in the palace and was executed, Father Emperor's attitude towards Jiang Wang changed drastically."

"When the Prince of Jiang was seven years old, his father sent him to the Southern Frontier City to guard the southern border for the Great Zhou!"

"However, every year on the Emperor's birthday, the King of Jiang would still travel a great distance to send him birthday gifts."

Upon hearing this, Qin Li asked, "Do you think our brother harbors more hatred towards that old brother, or...?"

Qin Feng replied, "As for the fact that my second brother sends people to deliver birthday gifts every year, it's certainly too little, but..."

"But what?"

Qin Li pressed for an answer.

"But Father killed Second Brother's mother, how could Second Brother not hate him? In all these years, Second Brother clearly had the opportunity to return to the capital, but he never went back. Therefore, I think Second Brother hates Father more."

Qin Li nodded and instructed, "In that case, be more careful once we enter the city."

"Big brother, since second brother hates Father more, why should we be clever?" Qin Feng didn't understand.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend; they should be friends with the King of the Frontier.

"Just do as I say, and don't make a fool of yourself!"

Since Qin Li had said so, Qin Feng couldn't disobey, so he replied, "Yes!"

As dusk fell, the outline of the Southern Frontier City finally came into view of the army.

Qin Li waved his hand and ordered, "Speed ​​up, we must get into the city before nightfall."

"yes!"

When Qin Li led his army to the city gate, he found that a welcoming procession had already been set up.

The people, with red silk ribbons around their waists, beat drums and gongs to warmly welcome the army into the city.

A young man stood at the city gate, bearing a resemblance to Qin Li and Qin Feng; he must be the King of the Frontier, Qin Han.

He was giving instructions to the officials of Nanjiang City when they reminded him that the army had arrived. He quickly jogged forward to meet them.

"Your humble servant pays respects to your elder brother. I have failed to greet you properly. I have failed to welcome you properly."

Qin Han smiled broadly and even offered to lead Qin Li's horse.

This scene, witnessed by everyone, was met with unanimous approval.

Qin Li dismounted and patted Qin Han on the shoulder, "Good lad, you've grown so much."

After saying that, Qin Li gave Qin Han a bear hug, a gesture typical of brothers.

Everyone who saw this spoke highly of Qin Li.

Qin Feng, on the other hand, kept scratching his head.

Just now, Qin Li told him to be careful and not to be caught off guard, meaning he should be wary of Qin Han.

Now, she turns around and hugs Qin Han?

"Come, come, I forgot to introduce him. This is the seventh brother, Qin Feng. I brought him with me on this expedition."

Qin Li took the initiative to introduce Qin Feng to Qin Han.

"So this is my seventh brother."

Qin Han and Qin Feng hugged each other again.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the three brothers held hands and entered the city together.

"Brother, why are you so late? I calculated that you should have arrived several days ago."

Qin Han asked.

"What, are you blaming your older brother?"

Qin Li countered with a question.

"No, no, I wouldn't dare."

Qin Han said with a smile, "It's just that if you're late, we brothers will have one less day to get together. I've been dreaming about you coming soon, and so will my seventh brother."

"A banquet has been prepared in the city government office, just waiting for my elder brother and seventh brother to arrive. Tonight, I will host a feast to welcome my elder brother and seventh brother."

"That's great!" Qin Li said. "Tonight, the three of us brothers will drink until we're completely drunk!"

Soon, led by Qin Han, the group arrived at the Jiangwang Mansion.

As it was a frontier city, Qin Han, despite being a prince, had a pitifully small residence, even smaller than Qin Feng's seventh prince's residence.

Upon entering the banquet hall, Qin Han offered the head seat, saying, "Brother, please sit down."

Qin Li didn't stand on ceremony and sat down immediately.

Qin Han pulled Qin Feng to sit down at the lower end of the table, where the officials from Nanjiang City were their guests.

"Come on, bring the wine and the food!"

At a command, several maids moved about.

Qin Feng was observing the officials who were accompanying him when he was suddenly drawn to a maid.

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Qin Li... Wasn't she Chun Tao?

Qin Li gestured for Qin Feng to keep quiet, but Qin Feng continued searching and spotted Xia Liu.

Although both of them had disguised themselves, Qin Feng recognized them at a glance.

Over the years, Qin Feng and Qin Li's relationship has grown closer, and Qin Feng often visits Qin Li's residence.

He had even learned the art of disguise from Chun Tao and Xia Liu, so he recognized the two sisters at a glance.

Good heavens, Qin Li doesn't trust Qin Han at all, and Chun Tao and Xia Liu have already infiltrated the Jiang King's residence so early.

No wonder he suffered repeated setbacks back then; Qin Li's speed in attacking was outrageously fast.

"Seventh Brother, what's wrong? Eat something to fill your stomach first, and we'll drink later," Qin Han said kindly.

Qin Feng snapped out of his daze, a smile plastered on his face. "Alright, alright, thank you, Second Brother. You should eat too."
