“The answer is very simple. Right from the beginning, everything was staged!
“The first day when the reinforcement soldiers set off from the Imperial City, Miss Lou had already mentioned that I would be targeted. So, she told me to prepare a ‘substitute.’ The person Miss Lou took with her a few hours ago is that ‘substitute’!”
“!” Everyone widened their eyes in astonishment!
Lou Qianxue and Crown Prince had made preparations so early!
Her mind is too incredible!
Crown Prince Yu had a sullen expression. His eyes were cold and stern. He looked at Liu Mansheng, who was horrified and desperate, as if he were watching a dead person. “And you… On the night Miss Lou went to the Nandu Nation to burn their food repositories, she had already guessed your collusion with the Nandu Nation. Also, she has always been keeping a guard on you!
“For this reason, Miss Lou specially asked Master Dan Taiyuan to pay attention to the status of the Nandu Nation’s Army. After learning that you have told the Nandu Nation about all the ways to break our defense lines, when they came at us, our army retreated most of the time.. That was why the four lines of defense were broken one after another so easily!”
“So that’s what happened!” Everyone realized the truth!
“No wonder the four lines of defense got broken so quickly. I didn’t expect Liu Mansheng, this despicable man, to tell the Nandu Nation’s army about the method to break our defenses! Fortunately, Crown Prince was wise and told the army to retreat. Otherwise, we don’t know how many people we would’ve lost this time!” All the generals and soldiers became fearful after knowing the truth.
Liu Mansheng was horrified…
They were j-just a useless prince and a silly blond girl. H-How could they play me like that and have me in the palm of their hands?
Whoosh!
Crown Prince Yu drew a sword from a soldier’s waist and sneered. Then, he continued to explain.
“As for the two generals Li Wen and Li Wu… That’s simpler!
“You may be unaware that two years ago, before the two generals, Li Wen and Li Wu, came to join the army, they had met Miss Lou! And Miss Lou did them a great favor. Then, on our first night in Liang city, the two generals, Li Wen and Li Wu, pledged their allegiance to me!”
Swish!
He pointed the cold sword straight at Liu Mansheng.
Crown Prince Yu had an elegant and lean body, and he looked noble and stern. He asked proudly but softly, “Can you rest in peace now?”
“…”
It was dead silent.
A complicated look appeared in everyone’s eyes. They stared at Crown Prince Yu in amazement. The back of their shirts were wet from the lingering fear; they didn’t even dare to breathe too heavily…
Liu Mansheng’s narrow eyes had almost become invisible on his swollen face. The look in his eyes was full of hideousness and unwillingness as he glared at Crown Prince Yu.
“Howl!”
After letting out an inhuman roar, he suddenly got up and charged at Crown Prince Yu.
Whoosh!
Crown Prince Yu chopped down with one stroke!
Shhtaab!
Fresh blood soared in the air!
Liu Mansheng’s hideous head rolled down like a melon. It rolled off…
“!!!” Everyone gasped. Their hair stood upright!
“Come here!” Crown Prince Yu coldly said, “Liu Mansheng committed treason with the enemies and plotted against me. We will now behead the entire Liu Army before the army of 700,000. This will serve as a warning!”
Everyone trembled. They looked at the Liu Army with fearful and sympathetic eyes. The Liu Army soldiers looked pale and desperate.
Suddenly…
“Great!”
Zhen Guogong, who had just realized what was happening, loudly laughed. “Wise one, Prince!”
“Wise one, Prince!” The other generals orderly shouted.
The Chu Army was especially loud. Their faces were full of joy!
When Liu Mansheng had led the Liu Army and threatened them, all of them had thought that it was over for them.
Never did they expect that the tables would turn in the blink of an eye!
The Chu Army was living well, and instead, the Liu Army was about to be butchered!
Everything felt so unreal; it was like a dream!
