I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

After a long silence, Qin Feng was the first to come to his senses.

He looked up at Xiao Xue'er opposite him and comforted her, "It's alright, sister-in-law. Those deserters deserve to be killed, but your brother won't do that to you."

Before Emperor Xuan ordered him to stay at home, he often went out with Xiao Xue'er to public places in the capital, and the two talked about everything.

Xiao Xue'er told him a lot about Qin Li.

Xiao Xue'er said that no matter how imposing the eldest prince Qin Li is outside, if she tells Qin Li to go east, he wouldn't dare to go west. Qin Li is her lapdog.

Although Qin Li is ruthless towards deserters, he won't treat Xiao Xue'er that way, so Xiao Xue'er has nothing to worry about.

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Xiao Xue'er received no comfort whatsoever. Instead, her tears flowed even more freely, as if they were free.

Little did Qin Feng know that Qin Li was a completely different person, no longer the subservient follower of Xiao Xue'er.

Qin Li now slaps her, whips her with his belt, and beats her with a stick until she begs for mercy!

She, Xiao Xue'er, had long since transformed into Qin Li's form!

"By the way, Your Majesty, what brings you here to see me?" Qin Feng suddenly remembered that Xiao Xue'er had something to discuss with him and asked.

Xiao Xue'er wiped away her tears, sniffling, and said, "I want my seventh brother to come with me to deal with that villain Qin Li!"

"Seventh brother, you don't know this, but I, your sister-in-law, am in the hands of that villain. I'm living a life worse than death! You won't believe me, just look."

As they were talking, Xiao Xue'er rolled up her sleeves, revealing the marks on her arms from Qin Li's belt whipping them. The marks were a dense network of new and old wounds, like a fishing net.

Qin Feng's eyes widened in shock, and he couldn't help but gasp.

Compared to Xiao Xue'er's injuries, the wounds on his back were insignificant and not worth mentioning.

"Seventh brother, I'm begging you, sister-in-law!"

"Please, just agree to join me in dealing with that villain Qin Li."

"Even though you are his own brother, he will not let you go. Anyone qualified to inherit the throne must die, including you!"

"Instead of waiting for that villain Qin Li to come and kill us, let's join forces and deal with him together!"

"The lookout outside who's helping us out is just like us; he was bullied by that villain Qin Li. More and more people will join us in the future, and our strength will grow stronger and stronger. We won't be afraid of failing to kill that villain Qin Li..."

……

In the afternoon, the army set off as scheduled and continued its journey to the border.

After Qin Li pulled that stunt, the soldiers became much more obedient, and there have been no more desertions so far.

After all, the punishment of exterminating three generations of a family is no joke; everyone is afraid of it!

On the official road, Qin Li rode on Wangcai's neck while teasing it by dangling a carrot from a wooden stick.

Wangcai's handsome horse face stretched out, revealing two rows of neat teeth, looking just like a funny meme from his past life.

If the other mares saw this, they definitely wouldn't like Wangcai.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, wait for me!"

Zhou Biao rode up from behind on a fast horse.

Qin Li deliberately slowed down, waiting for him to catch up.

"What's wrong?"

When he caught up, Qin Li glanced at him sideways and said irritably, "Did you find the Jade Maiden Sect female disciple I asked you to find?"

Before Zhou Biao could reply, Qin Li, disregarding his image as the eldest prince, imitated Zhou Biao's usual manner and answered his own question, "Your Highness, we haven't found it yet, but I believe good news will arrive soon. Is that what you were going to say?"

Zhou Biao scratched the back of his head and chuckled twice.

As expected of our eldest prince, he is indeed intelligent, understanding everything he says perfectly.

Zhou Biao clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "Your Highness, good news will indeed arrive soon. Trust me, because the Jade Maiden Sect usually operates in the Jade Heng Mountain area, which is far from the capital. It would take our people quite a bit of time to travel back and forth."

"If we don't go to war, and wait a few more days, the female disciples of the Jade Maiden Sect will definitely be kidnapped and sent to the capital, to our residence, to His Highness's bed."

"But we've already left the capital, they have to catch up with us, and that will push things back even further."

Uh... that makes a lot of sense, and he couldn't refute it for a moment!

While Qin Li and Zhou Biao were talking, and their minds weren't entirely focused on teasing Wangcai with the carrot, the clever Wangcai finally managed to bite the carrot.

With a few crunching sounds, Wangcai chewed and swallowed the carrot, letting out a few strange cries of pleasure, as if mocking Qin Li.

Human, you're still too green to fight against this handsome horse.

To everyone's surprise, Qin Li calmly took out a whole bag of carrots, and Wangcai's horse-like face instantly turned black.

That's not fair!

Is it fun to bully a horse?

It's not a human, but Qin Li is a real dog!

The red-snake, curled up and fast asleep in Qin Li's arms and clothes, indicated that this was all part of Qin Li's routine and that he was used to it.

Qin Li often teased it like this!

They are two brothers in misfortune!

"Your Highness, I have come here on urgent business!"

Zhou Biao said anxiously.

Qin Li remained calm, still teasing Wangcai, and said, "Speak."

"The Crown Princess just secretly went to see Qin Feng!"

Zhou Biao spoke softly but very seriously, enunciating each word clearly.

This was a huge deal for him.

As Qin Li's number one lackey, Zhou Biao knew that Xiao Xue'er had always wanted to kill Qin Li and had even given Qin Li a bowl of poison. He also knew that Qin Feng wanted to kill Qin Li as well.

These two getting together, who knows what they'll do to harm Qin Li!

"Did she go alone?"

Qin Li raised his eyes and asked.

"No, that's not it. The female assassin named Xia Liu was keeping watch for Xiao Xue'er outside the carriage."

"They thought they were being discreet, but in reality, their every move was under our surveillance!" Zhou Biao said.

Upon hearing this, Qin Li simply nodded and hummed in agreement, offering no further comment.

After not hearing Qin Li speak for a long time, Zhou Biao grew anxious and asked, "Your Highness, what should I do? Should I bring men...?"

As they were talking, Zhou Biao made a knife-like gesture with his hand and pointed it at his own neck twice, indicating that he had killed several people.

Seeing Zhou Biao's actions, Qin Li was speechless and said, "Biao, you still don't understand your place."

"What location?" Zhou Biao frowned.

"You're a thug, not a strategist. Using your brain is too much for you!"

"Biao'er, promise me you'll be good to me. From now on, just do whatever I tell you to do, and don't try to think for yourself or have your own ideas!"

"Why?!"

Zhou Biao suddenly raised his voice, startling Qin Li.

"What are you doing!"

Qin Li also raised his voice.

If you say a few words to him, he gets upset. Who is the eldest prince anyway? How can a subordinate speak to the eldest prince like that?

This shows that Qin Li is kind-hearted; in the past, Zhou Biao would have been dragged out and beheaded long ago.

Zhou Biao's imposing manner weakened, but his eyes remained sincere as he whispered, "Your Highness, my mother says I've been clever and quick-witted since I was a child!"

"Your mother is lying to you!"

Qin Li ruthlessly exposed the truth.

Zhou Biao's expression changed instantly, his worldview seemed to shatter, his eyes were lifeless, and he kept saying "Impossible, impossible" over and over again.

How could his mother lie to him? She loved him dearly; of all his brothers, he was the one she loved the most.

This is why Qin Li didn't know what Zhou Biao was thinking. If he did, he would definitely say that as parents, the one they love the most is the dumbest and most useless child, and they are afraid that the child will be wronged. Zhou Biao is that child. It's just a pity that Zhou Biao didn't know.

"Alright, I already know about this matter."

Qin Li smiled slightly and said, "Several of them want to kill this prince, and now they've even joined forces. It's practically the Great Zhou version of the Avengers. However, none of them are as powerful as the three protagonists from Mount Jiuyi when they joined forces. That was the real Avengers team."

"From now on, you must call them that too, understand..."
