When Han Na rushed into Shen Siâs tent with his sword in hand, Shen Si was already lying on the ground.
Shen Si clutched his chest and looked at Han Nan in disbelief. âG-general Han, you..
âYour Highness, you didnât expect this, did you? Iâm the one who betrayed you,â
Han Na said. He was not in a hurry to kill Shen Si. He slowly walked toward Shen Siâs seat and sat down. Then, as he wiped the sword in his hand, he said arrogantly, âI know you must have a lot of questions. Iâll give you a chance to ask them so youâll know the truth before you die.â
âWhen did you start working with Nanyue?â Shen Si asked, clearly disappointed. After all, Han Na was like his hand. He trusted Han Na with his life. How could he not be disappointed by Han Naâs betrayal?
âWhen did I start working with Nanyue? Itâs not a matter of when. After all, Iâm originally from Nanyue. The Emperor arranged for me to come to Xinan, â Han Na said with a shrug.
Shen Si was even more furious when he heard this. He felt as though his heart had been stabbed. He gritted his teeth and asked, âSo all your proclamations about your loyalty to Xinan are fake?â
Han Na nodded. âIn order to gain your trust, I naturally need to lie.â Then, Han Na continued to say, sounding rather proud, âI might as well tell you⦠Back then, many of Xinanâs defeats were caused by me.â
âThe night you were supposedly trapped in Lucky Moon Valley⦠You lied and framed General Ying?!â Shen Si asked in shock.
Han Na sneered. âThat old man kept getting in my way so I had to deal with him. However, I didnât expect all of you to believe me so easily and even locked him up! Itâs really laughable that Xinan came to this point.â
Han Na rose to his feet and looked down at Shen Si who was lying on the ground before he said, âThereâs no need to put up any resistance. Itâs futile. Iâve already revealed Yu Yunxiâs plan to the Crown Prince. Her traps wonât affect Nanyueâs troops at all. I heard that the situation on the battlefield is bad. I wonder if the Crown Prince has already reaped Yu Yunxi and Shen Hezhiâs lives with his saberâ¦â
âHan Na! You were born in Xinan, not Nanyue!â Shen Si said with red eyes, trying to wake Han Na up.
Before putting Han Na in such an important position, they had checked his family background. He was born in Xinan. They did not find anything wrong so they finally promoted him. They believed he would do his best to protect the people of Xinan after becoming a general of Xinan.
Han Na was briefly stunned when he heard Shen Siâs words. However, his eyes soon shone viciously as he asked, âOld geezer, I was indeed born in Xinan.
However, do you know how my family died?â
Shen Siâs heart sank when he heard these words. He knew there must be more to the matter, but he still asked, âWerenât they killed when robbers broke into the house and burned it down? Werenât they burned to death?â
âThatâs right. My family was burned to death. However, the fire wasnât caused by robbers. It was caused by me. I wanted money so I could make a name for myself in the capital, but those two old things werenât willing to give me any money. So⦠I killed them. The fire was just to cover up my actions.â
The more Han Na spoke, the more excited he became. It was as though he had done something extraordinary.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThen you later defected to Nanyue and considered yourself a person from Nanyue?â
âThatâs because Nanyue promised me that they would make me the Imperial Preceptor as long as I stayed here and accomplished great things for them! Oh, the Crown Prince also said that if I want to, I can also become the King of Xinan,â Han Na said, touching the desk in front of him. It was much better to be the King of Xinan than a general of Xinan.
Han Naâs expression suddenly turned cold, and he said, âWell, youâve run out of time to ask questions. I should send you off now.â
Han Na looked at Shen Si disdainfully and raised his sword. The King of Xinan, who once shook the world, was now like an ant before him.
Just as the sword was about to land, the expression of Shen Si, who was lying on the ground weakly just a moment ago, turned cold before he suddenly leaped up and kicked Han Naâs stomach. Although he was old, it was easy for him to deal with Han Na.
âYouâ¦â
Han Na, who was kicked to the ground, looked at Shen Si in shock and disbelief.
âYouâre wondering why Iâm fine, right? If I didnât lie on the ground, I might not have seen through your wolf ambitions,â Shen Si said expressionlessly as he looked down at Han Na.
âY-you, you were faking it?! You werenât poisoned at all?â Han Na finally reacted. His expression was extremely unsightly.
âGeneral Han, your poisoned tea is here.â
At this moment, the curtain was lifted, and two people walked in.
Han Na turned around, and his eyes widened.
The two people were actually Ying Jianyuan and Ying Siyuan.
âYou⦠Werenât you locked up?!â Han Na questioned angrily.
âThank you for your hard work,â Shen Si said to Ying Jianyuan in a low voice.
Ying Jianyuan was completely different from before. He lowered his head and said humbly, âThis is what I should do. If anything, youâre the one who worked the hardest.â
âYou, youâ¦â

âGeneral Han, you can act for so many years. Why canât I?â Ying Jianyuan asked coldly.
How could Han Na not understand after listening to these words? He was about to go mad from anger when realization dawned on him. He questioned, âSo you pretended to be at odds with Shen Si and Yu Yunxi all along?â
âOf course. His Highness has shown me kindness. I can even give up my life for him. Iâm not like you, a power-hungry bast*rd!â
Ying Jianyuan walked over and slapped Han Na with all his might. Han Naâs cheek swelled in just an instant.
Han Na wanted to call for his men to save him. However, when he turned around, he saw that the person he brought with him was standing silently at the side as though he was watching a show.
âYou betrayed me? Have you forgotten the wealth and glory I promised you?â Han Na asked in disbelief.
Following that, Han Na was slapped again. However, this time, it was Ying Siyuan who slapped him.
âHeâs just protecting Xinan,â Ying Siyuan said coldly.
Han Na suddenly thought of something. As though it could eliminate the anger and frustration in his heart, he said loudly, âDo you think youâve won? Yu Yunxi and Shen Hezhiâs fates on the battlefield are still unknown. Youâre still going to loseâ¦â
âGeneral Han, are you talking about me?â
At this moment, Yu Yunxiâs voice rang from outside the tent..
