Everyoneâs expression changed. They all looked in the direction where the sound came from.
An ordinary soldier clad in armor slowly stepped out.
âWho are you? How dare you try to be mysterious?â Liu Mansheng squinted and insidiously looked at the man.
âHa!â
The man stretched out his hand and tore off the human skin mask, revealing a pale, sickly, but majestic face.
âCrown Prince!â
Liu Mansheng was startled. He staggered back, and his eyes widened in disbelief as if he had seen a ghost. âHow could it be? How could you be here? Havenât... havenât you already left? Arenât you dead?â
Crown Prince Yuâs eyes coldly swept across the crowd.. âSince Father sent me here to be the commander, how could I just leave behind everyone so easily? Thankfully, I hadnât left, and thatâs why I could see such a show!â
â!â Liu Manshengâs expression changed. He had a sudden premonition...
Indeed!
Soon!
Many generals jumped in joy. They took a step forward and respectfully said to Crown Prince Yu, âYour Royal Highness, may you be safe and healthy!â
âGreat! Your Royal Highness is fine! Your Royal Highness is fine! Now His Majesty will not prosecute us!â
âHmph! Liu Mansheng, not only did you collude with the Nandu Nation and betray the country, but you also tried to set up His Royal Highness and the high-ranking generals. I hereby ask His Royal Highness to please take action and get rid of him and his army!â
All the generals stood behind Crown Prince one by one!
A moment ago, Liu Mansheng had been smug, aloof, and aggressive. That had disgusted many of the generals.
Moreover, they had been forced to surrender to Liu Mansheng just now. Crown Prince had seen everything with his eyes, so they had to please him now to save themselves.
âNo!â Liu Mansheng angrily shouted. As if looking at his savior, he turned to the brothers Li Wen and Li Wu. âLi Wen, Li Wu! You have a 400,000-strong army in your hands. Come on! Kill Crown Prince. If you kill him, I promise that all military power in Tian Zhao will be given to the both of you when Third Prince ascends the throne!â
Li Wen and Li Wu remained unmoved.
âD*mn it!â Liu Manshengâs face flushed like the color of pig liver. He glared at the brothers. âAre you two going to betray me as well?â
âHa...â Crown Prince Yu gave a cold laugh. âDonât you know that the brothers Li Wen and Li Wu had sworn their loyalty to me long ago?â
â!!!â Everyone gasped in shock.
âHow is it possible?â
Everyone was in disbelief. Crown Prince Yu had only been in Liang city for a few days, yet he had played his cards well!
âNothing seemed like that! Hasnât Li Wen and Li Wu always been following Liu Mansheng?â
Liu Mansheng was in greater disbelief, and he frantically yelled. âImpossible! This is impossible! How could they do this? I treated them so well! This isnât true! If it is, why did they obey my commands? Why did they use a large formation to cover up their whereabouts and falsely claimed that they were missing? They listened to me. They clearly listened to me!!!â
âThings have already reached such a point, and youâre still refusing to face reality.â Crown Prince Yu sympathetically looked at Liu Mansheng. âSince thatâs the case, Li Wen, Li Wu, wake him up!â
âYes, Your Royal Highness!â
The two of them stepped forward and rudely grabbed Liu Mansheng. They kicked him on his knees, grabbed his chin, and slapped him twice.
After a while, Liu Mansheng had been beaten so much that his head resembled a pigâs head. His face was so swollen that he couldnât say anything.
Struggling hard, he glared at Crown Prince Yu in fear and anger. âL-Let go of me! Boo-hoo!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He didnât understand it. Why is this happening? Everything was under my control. Why did it change all of a sudden?
Why is this happening?
Crown Prince Yu slowly stepped forward and looked at him with regret. âTsk, the Li Brothers went hard on you. Now, you canât even speak up... But I know! You want to ask me whatâs going on, donât you?â
