Fragrant willow catkins

Commander Shen: "This... am I so scary?"

They walked up to him with confusion and pulled off the mask on his face. None of them had seen this man before.

Seeing that the crisis was over, Qingfeng withdrew his supernatural power, and the ferocious beasts woke up and dispersed.

Xiao Le jumped down from the roof of the car, Qingfeng supported him, and the two walked to the side of the crowd. Qingfeng looked at the leader without saying a word.

Kongshan was tired from fighting, so he sat back in the driver's seat of the carriage to rest. Dugu lifted the curtain in the carriage, but it didn't matter whether it was lifted or not, so he put it down again.

When the prince noticed that there was no more fighting outside, he curiously lifted the curtain. Xiangliu noticed this and removed the water wall at the rear of the team and outside the carriage.

Seeing that the scene below was too bloody, the prince turned around and told the princess not to get off the carriage. He and Baoer stayed in the carriage while he jumped out of the carriage and looked at the tragic scene on the battlefield calmly.

But when he saw blood on Ye Chenshang's body, the prince lost his composure and walked quickly to Ye Chenshang's side, "Chen'er, are you hurt?"

Seeing this, Ye Chenshang looked for blood on his body, "Oh, no, it's someone else's blood."

The prince breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Commander Shen: "Your Highness, there is only one assassin left alive."

Everyone looked at the follower that Commander Shen had thrown to the ground.

Xiao Le: "He is still under my control, he is just unconscious and hasn't woken up yet."

Commander Shen: "You are quite capable, kid! At first I thought this wilderness was full of wild beasts, and you have no place to use your power to control people."

Qingfeng embraced Commander Shen and said, "Commander Shen, I just saved your life!"

Commander Shen turned his head to look at him, "I saved your life, kid. I've paid it back."

"Let's get out of here first, and then make plans." The prince gave the order, and everyone started to move, each doing their own job.

With their followers, everyone returned to the carriage and waited for the guards to move the fallen rocks in front of them before they could continue moving forward.

But... Xiangliu sat in the carriage, watching the guards move the stones away one by one, but the speed was too slow...

So she wrapped the stone with water, floated to the side to make way, and the convoy left the wilderness, leaving a small team to clean up the battlefield and temporarily bury our soldiers on the spot. After returning to the capital, she would send people to transport them back to the capital for proper burial.

When they reached a safe area, they set up camp. The Crown Prince watched over the soldiers as they set up the tents. After settling the Crown Princess and Bao'er, he came to interrogate the henchman with everyone else.

In the tent, everyone surrounded the follower. Xiao Le asked, "Who assigned you? What's the matter?"

The attendant sat on the ground and looked ahead, "Empress De sent someone from the Eastern Kingdom's royal family to assassinate the crown prince and grandson, using wild beasts to fake an accident."

There was a spy named Defei in the convoy, who reported every move to the men in black at all times. Even if there had not been the rain and mudslides, they would have found ways to trip up the convoy and force it to pass through the barren mountains.

There are many wild beasts in the wilderness, so attacks are inevitable. If something happens to the Crown Prince, it will only be blamed on Ye Chenshang and Commander Shen. What Concubine De expects is to kill all of them. Who knows what happened on the way?

But she underestimated the divine power of Xiang Liu and Ye Chenshang. Ordinary people without divine power cannot estimate the strongest power of those with god-level abilities.

The Crown Prince: "De Fei... is too cruel and ruthless..."

She was so exclusive in the favor of the Southern Emperor, and the Queen and the Crown Prince had never harmed her, Prince Mo, or Mu Ling out of jealousy, but she was still not satisfied and harmed others like this...

Ye Chenshang: "This man is the only witness. We must ensure that he is under our control."

Ye Chenshang looked at Xiang Liu, Xiang Liu understood, and then looked at Xiao Le, "Xiao Le, are you sure?"

Xiao Le: "Yes, as long as I don't withdraw my divine power, he will be under my control regardless of the distance. It just takes some divine power."

Ye Chenshang patted Xiao Le's shoulder and said, "Brother, I will give you a good rest when we get back."

Qingfeng walked between the two of them and said, "Son-in-law, what about me?"

Ye Chenshang: "Okay! You come too!"

At night, Ye Chenshang took the prince into Commander Shen’s tent.

Commander Shen had just laid down when he stood up again. "Your Highness, is there anything you want to tell me?"

Prince: "Chen'er, what do you want to say?"

Ye Chenshang took a step towards Commander Shen, "Commander Shen, I would like to ask you not to report the assassination to my father yet."

Commander Shen was suddenly nervous, flustered and at a loss, "Why?"

He is the most loyal general to Your Majesty. Asking him to hide it from Your Majesty is extremely disrespectful!

Ye Chenshang: "With only one witness, the emperor will not believe the evil deeds of Concubine De, and it will alert the enemy. Please trust us and testify for us in the future."

Commander Shen hesitated, "But..."

The assassination of the prince is such a serious matter, how could he have the courage not to report it?

Seeing that he was unwilling, Ye Chenshang looked to the prince for help. The prince immediately stepped forward to cover for Ye Chenshang.

The prince said: "Commander Shen, I will be responsible for all consequences. Please assist us in our plan."

Commander Shen looked at the Crown Prince, hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed to only report the assassination. What the follower said would not be told to the Southern Emperor. After the Southern Emperor knew the situation at the assassination scene, he should have some judgment in his mind...

The Crown Prince and Ye Chenshang thanked Commander Shen and left the tent. Commander Shen saw them off at the door, and the two of them took a walk in the camp for a while.

The prince was actually a little confused. He didn’t understand why Ye Chenshang did this, but he supported him.

Ye Chenshang didn't want the prince to worry, so he took the initiative to confess to him, "Brother, Xiang'er and I are looking for the key to overthrow Concubine De. I hope you can trust us."

The prince was worried, "Is there any danger?"

When the Crown Prince was in the court, he fought openly and secretly with Concubine De for a long time, but the Southern Emperor favored Concubine De and never sought justice for the Crown Prince and the Queen.

Ye Chenshang: "No, I will take back everything that belongs to my mother and my brother!"

The prince patted Ye Chenshang's shoulder with relief, and finally put his hand on his shoulder. Ye Chenshang was his youngest brother, and also his closest brother. Since he was old enough to understand, he had watched Ye Chenshang grow up with his own eyes, and the bond between them was very deep.

They stared at each other for a long time, "Brother believes you."

He has watched Ye Chenshang grow up. He understands his ambitions and what he desires. Fortunately, there is someone to accompany him now.

The Crown Prince returned to the city with great fanfare. Commander Shen drove his convoy into the capital. The breeze behind him carried a message, "Commander Shen, see you next time~"

"Ah?" Commander Shen was still quite confused. When he turned around, Qingfeng and Xiao Le on the two horses behind him had disappeared. Commander Shen still felt a little reluctant.

In the middle of the convoy, Qingfeng and Xiaole stood on the roadside waiting for Xiangliu's carriage to arrive. Dugu lifted the curtain and said, "My lord, we are leaving first."

Xiang Liu: "Okay, I'll come find you guys later."

Dugu nodded, lowered the curtain with his backhand, jumped off the carriage, and was steadily caught by two people below.

Commander Shen sent a small team to escort the witnesses to the dungeon first, while a few others went to the palace to report.
