Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Although the attack lasted for two days and consumed nearly 90% of the ammunition depot, Qin Yue did not achieve much success.

"We consumed a lot of the enemy's firepower and killed some of their soldiers."

At this time, Qin Yue still wanted to save some face.

Wanyan Tielu did not give him a chance to cover up his shame.

"But their city wall still hasn't been breached. Then let me ask you again, how much ammunition does the Xiao family's army have left?"

This question is even more difficult for Qin Yue to answer.

If he answered truthfully, it would prove that he had consumed nearly 90% of his ammunition without causing any damage to the enemy.

This doesn't make sense no matter where it is placed.

So he still said stubbornly:

"There are still quite a few... Even if it's not enough, we can still mobilize them from the rear."

"You've expended so much ammunition but achieved no results. Isn't our target on the flank their concrete wall?"

Wanyan Tielu continued to ask questions.

"I'm not feeling well, so I'm going to rest first."

Wanyan Tielu was so aggressive that Qin Yue naturally couldn't withstand it.

He didn't even dare to respond directly to this last question.

He lied that he was unwell and hurried back to rest.

Looking at his fleeing back, the contempt in Wanyan Tielu's eyes became more and more obvious.

With so many weapons and equipment, he was able to fight the war like this, which was unique in the world.

Several of Wanyan Tielu's personal guards also came up at this time.

"This young man is finally back."

"General, considering his condition, we should just stay out of it and just fight our own battles."

"That's right, whoever runs into him will be unlucky."

Everyone was talking about the battle situation between Qin and Yue in the past few days.

Wanyan Tielu whispered:

"I asked you to go back and check this kid's background. Have you found it?"

"Not yet. After all, it's a matter of Daqian, and it's still very far away from us."

"Quickly investigate. If this guy is really a worthless person, I will find a way to make him leave immediately."

Wanyan Tielu would absolutely not allow such a destabilizing factor on the battlefield.

Ever since he was certain that Qin Yue had no ability a few days ago, he arranged for people to go to the rear to start investigating.

It's just a little troublesome to investigate, but if he really gets any information about Qin Yue, Qin Yue will definitely be hit hard by a storm.

"Actually, there's no need to check. Let's not plan to take him with us now."

Several subordinates gave Wanyan Tielu suggestions.

Wanyan Tielu waved his hand and said:

"It's important to have a legitimate reason. If we rashly deprive him of his military power, how will we explain this to the Xiao family and the other upper-class nobles when we return?"

"Don't forget that reinforcements will arrive later, especially the Xiao family, who have allied themselves with so many small families!"

Qin Yue is not worth mentioning.

But the Xiao family is now developing well.

While the upper-class nobles were gathering their troops, the Xiao family was almost on the verge of swallowing up the surrounding lower-class nobles.

They are Qin Yue’s umbrellas.

Wanyan Tielu would not act rashly before finding out the truth.

"So what should we do now? General, we can't just waste time here forever."

"Don't worry, I will go to Qin Yue tomorrow to apologize and let him continue to serve as the commander..."

Wanyan Tielu spoke lightly, with a meaningful smile on his face.

Seeing this, everyone stopped talking.

the other side.

Red Leaf Plain in Yan Dynasty, inside the Xiao family.

Xiao Gongjian, the sixth master of the Xiao family and the current steward of the Xiao family, was staring with his dim old eyes, reading the letter in front of him with great effort.

Ever since the Xiao family went into exile overseas and came to the Yan Dynasty.

Almost all of Xiao Shufei's generation died under Qin Ming's pressure.

The eldest and second uncles of the Xiao family and others all exhausted their lives in the long journey.

Only a group of branch family members who were still able to fight came here to escort several elderly people from the main family.

As the only remaining member of the main family with the highest seniority, Mr. Xiao Liuye, Xiao Gongjian, became the person in charge.

After taking charge, Mr. Xiao Liu discovered something strange.

After some people from the branch families were integrated into the clan, the Xiao family seemed to have new vitality.

After the death of those members of the Xiao family who had occupied positions but made no contributions, the new generation of members who replaced them were all very capable.

This is also one of the reasons why they were able to rise again in a short period of time.

But people of this era always like to pay attention to clans and bloodlines.

Even though they have developed to the present day and are already ranked as fourth-class nobles, Xiao Gongjian still thinks it would be better to find some Xiao family members with purer blood to inherit the family.

After many searches, chance and coincidence came together.

His eyes were on Qin Yue.

Although he has a different surname, Qin Yue is the child of Concubine Xiao Shufei, has served as the crown prince, and has the blood of the Daqian royal family.

In the eyes of Xiao Gongjian, who prioritized bloodline above all else, this was tantamount to a blessing from heaven!

So when he first heard that the child was stranded in Yan Dynasty, he made the decision immediately.

Just choose him!

So he gave Qin Yue troops, weapons, and ammunition.

After contacting him again.

He called all the family members and announced that this child would be the future successor of the family!

But today the situation took a new turn.

Put down the letter in hand.

Xiao Gongjian said in a deep voice:

"Xiao Tianzhu, I know you feel it's unfair, but there's no need to slander Qin Yue with this kind of thing, right?"

Before Qin Yue came, Xiao Tianzhu was the most capable young man among the younger generation of the Xiao family and the one most likely to take over as the next head of the family.

Although they were just members of a branch family, Xiao Gongjian had made good promises to them when they were merged into the main family.

In the future, as long as you work hard, everyone will have the opportunity to become the head of the family.

But Qin Yue happened to come.

So everyone saw Xiao Gongjian excitedly holding Qin Yue's hand and announcing to everyone.

This person has royal blood and is a descendant of the Xiao family's main family.

Should be the head of the family...

"Sixth Master, I don't have such thoughts."

Faced with Xiao Gongjian's statement, Xiao Tianzhu immediately shook his head to refute it. Although he was being slandered, there was no serious refutation on his face without any servility.

The letter he brought today contained some recent rumors.

There have been some rumors about the room recently.

It is said that when Qin Yue was the crown prince, he had no ability and no virtue.

When he came to the Yan Dynasty, he was just a traitor who sold his country for personal gain and was willing to be a stray dog ​​seeking shelter.

This statement was unacceptable to Xiao Gongjian, who was determined to maintain his bloodline!

But Xiao Tianzhu's words were like a needle, piercing his heart.

"If Sixth Master doesn't believe it, you can go ask around."

"We have connections in Daqian, so we can find out by asking."

Facing such a big thing.

Xiao Gongjian couldn't believe that he had made a mistake.

After taking a deep breath, he slowly calmed down, and a gleam of light flashed in his turbid eyes.

"Go check it out."

"Sixth Master, what if it turns out to be true?"

Xiao Tianzhu didn't leave, but asked back.

Xiao Gongjian clenched his dry fists and gritted his teeth, saying:

"Then you go to the front line and take his place. Don't hurt the Xiao family's base. We can't afford to lose!"

Just as the two were talking, several servants suddenly ran in from outside the door.

"Oh no, Sixth Master!"

"The losses on the front lines... are huge!!"
