The Demonic Crown Prince

That night, some people slept soundly, some were half asleep, but some people didn't sleep at all!

"Fang Li, have you remembered what I told you?"

Wang Dahai stared at Fang Li with bloodshot eyes and slowly said, "His Majesty has already made his point clear today. If he still doesn't understand, he won't be able to stay in this position any longer."

Therefore, there are some things he has to do!

However, there's a lot to learn about how to do it.

Fang Li, covered in blood, nodded blankly, "Understood."

"Serving the Imperial Household Department is serving His Majesty; this is your honor."

Our family valued your abilities; otherwise, once you're in prison, you'd be hard-pressed to survive, let alone die easily!

Wang Dahai spoke in a sinister tone.

Fang Li was startled, as if recalling the previous torture, and nodded emphatically, "Your subordinate will certainly do as the Grand Eunuch instructs."

"Then go ahead and keep an eye on him for me."

He must inform me immediately of any developments on his end.

Wang Dahai said.

"Understood, sir." Fang Li nodded.

"Remember, if you act prudently, the antidote will definitely be delivered every month, and your sister will be fine."

"If you betray the Imperial Guard or even His Majesty, your sister will surely die, and before she succumbs to the poison, she will suffer unimaginable pain."

Wang Dahai stared intently at her.

Fang Li shuddered. "But what about the other princes..."

"You've become their pawn, no one will come to save you, so don't worry."

As for your sister... her life and death are firmly in my hands.

Got it?

Wang Dahai spoke very bluntly.

"I understand, Your Excellency!" Fang Li's face was ashen as he lowered his head, resigned to his fate.

"Go, do your best to gain the King of Qin's trust."

He's currently short-staffed, and with me laying the groundwork for you, he'll definitely trust you.

If you do well, you'll have everything you need in the future—wealth, luxury, and everything else!

Wang Dahai said.

"Thank you, Master Eunuch!" Fang Li said in a low voice.

……

Early in the morning, Li Yuan got up and threw himself into the intense training with the soldiers.

During this training, he was surprised to discover that these soldiers were actually stronger than the soldiers of his time in terms of endurance, strength, and resilience.

I wouldn't say that every one of them would be a top-notch soldier in modern times, but at least overall, they far surpassed modern soldiers.

In modern training programs, they could all complete them with excellent or even higher grades.

Perhaps this is because soldiers in this era do not have the support of modern high technology, and they have to rely entirely on physical strength and willpower to get by from a young age?

Li Yuan guessed.

Therefore, his training syllabus was constantly revised, and finally, it was simply incorporated into the special forces training syllabus.

As for those guys from the Yuanzi Battalion, they were an even bigger bunch of perverts.

Those are the strongest individuals selected through the most brutal process of choosing the best of the best, a death-defying competition. Each one, placed in the military, would be a terrifying human weapon, a formidable king of soldiers.

For them, all the training subjects, except for archery, which requires a long period of training to master, were simply not worth mentioning.

Therefore, Li Yuan had to intensify the training of these people, using the methods of top-tier modern training for elite soldiers.

To be honest, Li Yuan is incredibly happy right now.

If an entire unit consists of elite soldiers equivalent to modern special forces, plus a whole battalion of super soldiers, whoever commands this unit will be incredibly happy.

He was confident that with just these two thousand soldiers, even if they couldn't sweep across the world, they would be invincible once they entered Yanbei Road.

After morning training, Li Yuan and a group of soldiers squatted together, eating from large, rough porcelain bowls, showing no airs of a prince whatsoever.

The other officers did the same, obediently queuing up and eating with the soldiers.

This was also a necessary requirement of Li Yuan's reforms: that the entire army should not have any special privileges and should be treated equally, so as to win the respect of the people and make the troops easier to manage! This rule has now gradually taken root in the military.

Especially after the reorganization, the officers selected from the open examination to serve as generals at all levels are even more able to put this rule into practice!

As it turned out, this tactic was remarkably effective. The troops were now strictly disciplined, and all officers adhered to this military rule. Gradually, even the most ordinary soldier began to show genuine spirit and energy.

Even Wang Dahai, who had escorted Fang Li to the military camp, had sensed this.

"Your Highness, your troops seem completely different from other troops."

Wang Dahai looked around, marveling at the sight.

He brought Fang Li and her sister Fang Rou here this morning.

"What's different?" Li Yuan asked with a smile.

"I can't quite put my finger on it, but it just gives off a terrifyingly strong vibe."

Wang Dahai shook his head and followed Li Yuan into his tent.

"It's not that exaggerated," Li Yuan laughed.

Then, looking at the person completely shrouded behind Wang Dahai, she asked, "Is she... Fang Li?"

"This humble concubine greets Your Highness." Fang Li removed her hood and knelt on the ground before Li Yuandao.

"What does this mean?" Li Yuan raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Wang Dahai.

"Your Highness, you didn't kill her to vent your anger before, but instead handed her over to our Imperial Guard. I understand that Your Highness must still want to spare her life."

After all, the prince is currently in need of manpower. If there is someone familiar with the princes who knows some inside information, it can prevent problems before they arise.

Now Fang Li has been abandoned by all sides and has no way to go back. She has nowhere to go, and it's a pity that she has such skills.

So, we're doing her a favor by pretending to execute her secretly, according to the rules of the imperial prison, while her body is actually replaced by another female prisoner.

Now, the person has been sent to the prince.

If Your Highness needs it, then keep it.

If it's not needed, then just kill them!

Wang Dahai laughed.

In the midst of their conversation, they spoke of killing as casually as drinking water.

"Oh?" Li Yuan raised an eyebrow and looked at Fang Li with interest.

"Your Highness, I am willing to give my life for you, I only beg you to spare me!"

Fang Li, who was kneeling there, said hurriedly.

"Your Highness, to ensure her loyalty, we also brought her younger sister, Fang Rou, along. She's outside right now."

Wang Dahai said again.

"Wang Changgong is indeed thorough in his work!"

Li Yuan gave a thumbs-up in praise.

"It's just a favor, something our family should do," Wang Dahai said with a smile.

"It seems that Eunuch Wang is a sentimental person. I thought that last time was the last time Eunuch Wang would help me, but I didn't expect that Eunuch Wang would help me again."

This kindness and gratitude are beyond words. Men, bring fifty thousand taels of silver to entertain Master Wang with tea!

Li Yuan held Wang Dahai's hand, looking both grateful and touched.

"No need, no need..." Wang Dahai declined repeatedly, but in the end, he still accepted the 50,000 taels of Chu currency and left.

At this moment, only Fang Li remained in the main tent; her younger sister, Fang Rou, had been taken to another main tent.

Fang Li knelt there, not daring to raise her head, only daring to glance at Li Yuan out of the corner of her eye.

Li Yuan smiled slightly, "Fang Li, do you think I would believe you? To be precise, do you think I would believe Wang Dahai?"
