The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 425 A Deceptive Tactic
After receiving Zhu Xiong Ying's reply, Chang Sheng began to take action.

This operation requires sending out a portion of troops, but not too many, otherwise Boromulu might not have the courage to continue.

After everything was settled, he began to try to secretly tell Boromru about it.

At this time, Boromulu and his tribe were hiding in a grassland.

In the vast northern grasslands, this place seems extremely insignificant, and finding it is not an easy task.

Boromulu gathered all his troops here and has been investigating Mahmud's situation.

Unfortunately, his men searched for a long time but still found no clues, which made him extremely angry. He then unleashed his fury in the military tent in front of the generals.

"They're all a bunch of useless trash! So much time has passed, how come there's not a single word!"

None of them dared to say a word more than necessary.

It's important to know that Zhu Xiong Ying spent a tremendous amount of money to build the three northern cities, using countless resources. Taking over these cities was no easy task, especially since the various tribes entering them would undergo strict screening, making it impossible for his men to infiltrate.

Boromru was furious. He didn't know when the Ming army would transport Mahmud to Yingtian Prefecture, and he was afraid of missing the opportunity.

Just then, a scout said excitedly.

"Good news, General! Good news! I've found a lead on the leader!"

Upon hearing this voice, Boromulu's eyes lit up.

"Tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"

"Just now, I led a raid on a tribal caravan and got some information from them that the Ming Dynasty is sending a very important person to Yingtian Prefecture in the next couple of days!"

"Moreover, I heard that this time they are escorting a very important person, and it will take two thousand soldiers to escort him!"

Upon hearing this, Boromulu's eyes lit up; this was truly good news.

The most important person in the three northern cities right now is none other than Mahmud, who was just captured. As long as they can rescue their leader Mahmud.

They were all very excited at the thought that they could maintain their dominant position on the grasslands again.

At this moment, the deputy general standing to the side spoke up.

"Although the Ming Dynasty only dispatched a little over two thousand people this time, they must still possess that kind of magical weapon. That weapon is extremely powerful, so we must be on guard. If all else fails, we should bring more people with us!"

Bolomuru snorted coldly.

"Their weapons are indeed quite good, but if we launch a sneak attack, they won't be very effective. So, our main purpose in ambushing them will be to disrupt their formation, thus preventing them from exerting much of their advantage!"

At this moment, the deputy general standing to the side spoke hesitantly.

"I heard that Chang Sheng is the son of Chang Yuchun, the Prince of Kaiping, and also a capable subordinate of Zhu Xiong Ying of the Ming Dynasty. This matter is of great importance. Will he send other people to participate in this operation?"

Boromuru frowned upon hearing this, then shook his head and said.

I don't think it's very likely!

"Although they still have a considerable number of troops, they have many things to do on the grasslands, and they probably don't have enough troops to send to other places!"

"Besides, they were keeping this a secret from the start, so there's probably not many people who know about it. There's no need for them to be so vigilant!" Everyone nodded after hearing this, as if they thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed true.

The scheduled time arrived quickly.

Before this, Chang Sheng had sent out a large number of troops to deal with bandits who roamed around various places.

Everyone was very curious, wondering what he meant. At this moment, a centurion standing to the side spoke up.

"General, I don't think this is a big deal!"

"They must not want us to know. They want to use these actions to confuse us, so that we can't tell which group is holding the leader captive!"

Everyone nodded after hearing this, as this was indeed the most likely possibility. Thinking of this, they gritted their teeth in anger.

"These guys are truly despicable; they're so treacherous and cunning!"

"Luckily, we had already obtained the intelligence, otherwise we would have been completely fooled by them!"

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Bolomuru snorted coldly.

"This guy has an extremely close relationship with Zhu Xiong Ying. It's said that he's Zhu Xiong Ying's uncle. With that kind of relationship, how good can it be? I think he and Zhu Xiong Ying are cut from the same cloth!"

Fortunately, we've obtained the intelligence, and we'll definitely be able to find them and rescue our leader!

With this confidence, these people began to set up an ambush, unaware that all their actions were within Chang Sheng's control.

Mahmud was soon brought out of the city.

During this time, Mahmud was treated to good food and drink and did not suffer much grievance. Now that he saw Chang Sheng bring him out, he was extremely surprised.

"Why are you sending me on my way?"

Upon hearing this, Chang Sheng smiled and said...

"Don't tell me I actually had such thoughts, but your life or death is not something I can decide. This time, I will escort you back to Yingtian Palace and hand you over to His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince for judgment!"

"Don't worry, once we get to Yingtian Prefecture, you'll see Tuogus Temur, Kökö Temur, and the others. It'll be a kind of reunion!"

Mahmud's expression was complicated upon hearing this. Kökö Tölö was the person he admired most, and he was known as the last great general of their Great Yuan Dynasty. The other person was the emperor of their Great Yuan Dynasty.

These two men were highly respected figures on the northern grasslands, but now they are prisoners. Perhaps my future fate will be the same as theirs, and I will never be able to return to the grasslands.

After thinking about this place, he couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, he frowned as he looked at the group of people escorting him. In addition to the two thousand soldiers who followed him, there were also many other soldiers gathering.

It seemed as if a major battle was about to take place, which puzzled him greatly. What exactly had happened? How had all these people gathered together? At that moment, as if he had just realized something, his expression changed drastically.

Now, the only person Chang Sheng cares about on the entire grassland is his general, Bolomulu.
