At this moment, Xie Lingxiao seemed to have fallen into a vortex of debris, with the sounds of fragmented memories filling his ears.

Xie Lingxiao could no longer hear Song Shao's calls.

"Ling Feng, your master is crazy, go and get a doctor." Song Shao shouted towards the door.

When Ling Feng arrived at the room, he saw Xie Lingxiao squatting on the ground, covering his head with both hands, curled up in pain.

He hurried forward: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Song Shao patted Xie Lingxiao: "Stop it now, don't think about it."

He looked at Ling Feng and urged: "Ling Feng, I'll take care of him, you go get the doctor."

As soon as Song Shao finished speaking, Ling Feng quickly walked out of the door. After he asked someone to call a doctor, he returned to the room.

He reached out to help Xie Lingxiao, but he was pushed away by him.

"Master..."

Xie Lingxiao staggered out, he ran out of the capital and jumped into the moat.

Ren Lingfeng was beside the river, shouting in panic, but he didn't respond.

Ling Feng stepped forward and wanted to rescue Xie Lingxiao, but was stopped by Song Shao who came rushing over.

"Don't worry, the river is not deep, let him stay in it for a while."

The cold river water, although not piercing enough, made Xie Lingxiao more sober.

The fragments of memory in his mind kept flickering and surging, drowning him little by little.

As time passed, Xie Lingxiao's face gradually turned pale. He closed his eyes and slowly became calm.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but just when Ling Feng couldn't help wanting to rush into the river, Xie Lingxiao stood up and walked towards the river.

Ling Feng said worriedly: "Master..."

Xie Lingxiao seemed not to have heard it. As soon as his feet reached the river, he fell to the ground.

He seemed to have lost all his strength, lying on his back beside the river, staring at the night sky in a daze.

Ling Feng wanted to move forward, but Song Shao hurriedly grabbed his wrist and shook his head slightly at him.

Xie Lingxiao was able to endure the severe headache without fainting, so it seemed that he had managed to get through it, and he just needed some time to adjust.

The sky was turning pale. Song Shao saw Xie Lingxiao sitting up and asked, "Are you okay? Have you recovered your memory?"

Xie Lingxiao looked at him for a long time, and said softly: "Go back and deal with the affairs of the palace. According to the agreement just now, I want Song Yi."

"Song Shao, I can only give you five days."

"Conquer five cities in five days as punishment for Xiling Country's attack on Beiling Country."

Song Shao stared at Xie Lingxiao with wide eyes, not understanding how he could say such shocking words under his calm appearance.

He was kind enough to tell Xie Lingxiao about their past yesterday, but today he turned against him and was so ruthless?

"Five days? But..."

Xie Lingxiao interrupted him: "Go back and prepare. If we don't see the letter of surrender from Xiling Kingdom and Song Yi in five days, we will meet in the capital."

After he finished speaking, he signaled Ling Feng to help him up, and the two of them slowly disappeared in front of Song Shao.

Xie Lingxiao looked into the distance. Five days was his limit and he couldn't wait any longer.

When it was daybreak, the two finally returned to the camp. The first order Xie Lingxiao gave was to reorganize the army and continue attacking Xiling Kingdom.

Back in the tent, he held a pen in his hand, stared at the paper in front of him for a long time, and kept writing the three words "Shen Jingxuan".

Even after the whole piece of paper was filled with names, Xie Lingxiao still hadn't figured out the content of the letter.

The sound of Beiling Kingdom assembling its troops was heard from the tent. Xie Lingxiao clenched his pen and finally wrote a few words. After folding them, he asked Lingfeng to send them to Shangjing City.

Xie Lingxiao walked out of the tent, looked at the many soldiers in front of him, and looked at the deputy general with firm eyes.

At the deputy general's order, the army headed towards the next city of Xiling State.

When Song Shao received the news from the border, he secretly cursed Xie Lingxiao for being ruthless.

Clearly he mentioned showing mercy yesterday, Xie Lingxiao still teased that he wanted to see sincerity.

But isn't his sincerity enough?

Since Xie Lingxiao wanted Song Yi, he agreed. If he wanted to know about his past with Shen Jingxuan, he would tell him everything.

But what about Xie Lingxiao?

There are no fathers and sons on the battlefield, and no brothers at the gambling table.

Although they are not father and son, they will not gamble at the same table.

But they have known each other for a long time, and even though they are restricted by their status and cannot call each other brothers in public, they still have a lot of fun talking to each other in private.

Now Xie Lingxiao doesn't care about our past friendship at all?

Thinking of this, Song Shao did not dare to delay for even a moment and hurried to deal with the matter.

Since Xie Lingxiao has said it, he will definitely do it.

But Song Shao didn't know that if it weren't for the friendship between them in the past, the five cities would never be able to calm his anger.

If he had not patiently told Song Shao about his past with Shen Jingxuan yesterday, he would have met Song Shao in the capital of Xiling Kingdom as he said.

But by then, it would not only be himself who would meet him, but also the hundreds of thousands of troops behind him.

On the first day, Xie Lingxiao captured a city in Xiling Kingdom as instructed.

The soldiers of Beiling State cheered for victory and were filled with joy.

The entire court of Xiling State was shocked and looked worried.

On the second day, Xie Lingxiao captured another city.

The blood of the soldiers of Beiling State was boiling, while the court of Xiling State was in complete silence.

Song Yi looked at the silent hall with a grim expression.

No one in the court, whether civil or military, could think of a useful solution, and no one dared to lead troops to repel the enemy.

He waved everyone away, picked up a pen and wrote a letter to Xie Zihan, openly asking him about the progress of the matter, but secretly scolding him for being useless.

It is obvious that the two of them have already discussed a perfect plan, and as long as it is accomplished, both parties will achieve what they want.

However, they did not expect that nothing would develop according to their plan.

When Song Yi's letter was circulated, the war report of Beiling Kingdom was also circulated along with his letter.

When the emperor received the battle report, after his joy, he started coughing non-stop.

"Your Majesty, how about letting the imperial physician take a look at you again?"

The emperor waved his hand: "Forget it, what can those quack doctors see?"

Despite the bitter medicine soup he was brought every day, his cough did not improve at all.

The emperor stared at the battle report for a long time, the frown on his brows difficult to dissipate.

"Take the reward and go to the Regent's Palace again."

"Yes." Eunuch Deng responded and stepped back.

The emperor held the battle report, pressed him against his chest, and slowly closed his eyes.

After Wang Chao's betrayal, Beiling Kingdom had many civil and military officials in the court, but he didn't know who to trust, nor could he trust anyone.

Now that he thought about it, the person he trusted least turned out to be the only person he could trust.

The emperor showed sarcasm on his face. After so many years, he was finally blinded by power.

However, the atmosphere in the Prince's Mansion, which also received the news, was different from that in the Imperial Palace and the Regent's Mansion.

Xie Zihan was lying on the bed at this time, banging it hard.

"Waste...waste..."

No wonder Song Yi couldn't make a comeback in Xiling Kingdom. He couldn't do a single thing they discussed.

Not only that, he even had the nerve to question himself. Why didn't he succeed? Wasn't it because he was stupid?

After Xie Zihan vented his anger, he called his personal guard: "Go, call Lu Zhong to the mansion."

"This..." The guard looked embarrassed.
