âThe Prince is dead?â
The faces of the generals and soldiers turned pale, and their eyes widened in shock. They could not believe what they had just heard.
âAre you sure? Did you see the princeâs body with your own eyes? Whereâs Lou Qianxue? She is so powerful. Why didnât she protect the prince well?â
âLou Qianxue also died in the battle!â
â!!!â Everything before Zhen Guogong turned pitch black, and he fully lost consciousness.
The 700,000 soldiers instantly fell silent. A look of grief and pain showed up on everyoneâs face.
âWe have to avenge His Royal Highness!â someone suddenly shouted!
âRight! That damned Nandu Nation dares to kill His Royal Highness! We have to go all out against them!â
âGo all out!â
.
âGo all out!â
The 700,000 soldiers angrily yelled in unison. Their voices were so loud that the sky shook!
However...
âSilence!â
Liu Mansheng frowned and yelled, âGo all out? With what? Our army has no leader. We are like sheep without a shepherd. However, the Nandu Nation has a strong army. They also have a few Heavenly Martial Realm experts supporting them. If they want to extinguish us, itâs as simple as stepping on ants. Do all of you have a death wish?â
âSo what do you mean, General Liu?â
Liu Mansheng did not express his thoughts directly. Instead, he raised his voice and said, âEveryone, you should know the relationship between me and the Third Prince.â
âThe three princes of Tian Zhao, Crown Prince, Third Prince, and Fifth Prince. Two years ago, Fifth Prince was crippled. The only princes able to inherit the throne were Crown Prince Yu and Third Prince. However, Crown Prince was plagued with illness and was always pampered since he was young. He wasnât able to take on the main role... Third Prince is the most suitable one.â
âNonsense!â Chu Pengfeiâs and Chu Pengchengâs expressions drastically changed. He glared at Liu Mansheng. âLiu Mansheng, how could you confuse the soldiers like that? Do you want to die?â
âDie?â Liu Mansheng coldly laughed. âI was not being disrespectful toward His Royal Highness. Itâs just that he indeed doesnât make the cut. See! He had only entered the battlefield, and he died. Now, we only have one prince among the three in Tian Zhao. In the future, Third Prince will surely be the new king of Tian Zhao! I will be the grandfather of the new king in the future! If the Chu Family is unafraid of being exterminated, then go ahead and mess with me!â
â!!!â Chu Pengfei was so mad that his face turned dark. He clenched his teeth so hard that it made sounds. However, Chu Pengcheng tightly held his arm.
Chu Pengcheng shook his head at him. âSecond brother, donât act so rashly!â
Some changes also appeared in the expressions of the other generals. They looked at Liu Mansheng with more respect in their eyes.
He is but the grandfather of the future king!
We canât afford to offend him!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
A smug look flashed across Liu Manshengâs eyes, and he proudly raised his head. âTo be honest, I have told Third Royal Highness about everything in Liang city some time ago. Last night, I received a reply from him.â
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Everyone looked at him in curiosity.
âThird Royal Highness is sympathetic to everyone. He does not wish to see bloodshed at the border. Therefore, he has contacted the Nandu Nation army in advance and agreed to negotiate with them to come to a peaceful agreement for the sake of the future of the two countries!â
âWhat?!â
âHow is that possible?!â
âWe have defended Liang city for so many years. Never have we thought about wanting to make a peaceful agreement!â
âThe two countries have killed so many people from each side. The hatred is as deep as the sea. How can we make peace?â
Everyone softly said in disbelief. They couldnât understand this and glared at Liu Mansheng.
Liu Mansheng coldly said, âHmph! Indeed, the hatred we have is as deep as the sea. Resolving is difficult. Especially this time, we have offended the Nandu Nation army really badly... So, Third Royal Highness has paid a considerable price to persuade the Nandu Nation to make peace with us.â
The generals got a sudden premonition...
âWhat price?â
