Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

In order to allow them to completely kill Sun Chuantou and Chen Changdao.

The two of them used some of Tongbao Pavilion's methods to find out everything about Sun Chuantou and Chen Changdao.

I came here today to make them admit defeat with conviction.

"Chen Changdao has said so much, and you still don't know who I am?"

"Shameless slave, kneel down!"

"Compensate for the lives of the 163 innocent women and children of the Chen family!"

Ning Shuang shouted angrily.

Chen Changdao, who had been in the martial arts world for many years, felt his knees go weak and he fell to his knees with a thud.

"There was no other way. I really had no other way..."

"Mu Liuming's mechanical forces have already reached the city. I can't die with them."

The secret he had hidden deep in his heart for many years was finally revealed today.

Chen Changdao was terrified, holding his head with a look of pain on his face.

He vaguely remembered how he entered the Chen Mansion.

It was a winter night with heavy snow. Nanzhao, which had been under repeated siege by the enemy and had long been unable to hold on, was full of starving people. Many people, including his family, did not survive the winter.

With nowhere to go, Chen Changdao finally chose to enter the imperial city.

He chose this place because he heard that there were many dignitaries here and they could have a full meal even during the war years.

Obviously, the Chen family is one of those dignitaries.

When refugees from all directions poured into the imperial city, they accepted a large number of people who gave them porridge and clothes to keep them warm.

In order to resist the enemy's attack, Chen's children even took out the family martial arts books.

Select healthy young people from the disaster victims and practice with them.

Chen Changgui was lucky enough to be selected and lived a life with full meals every day.

Later, he was transferred to the Chen Mansion as a guard, and his martial arts skills improved every day.

I thought this wonderful life would last forever.

But suddenly one day.

All the male members of the Chen family in Nanzhao left the city.

At this time, someone told him that the Shenmu Kingdom had already reached the imperial city, only fifty miles away from it.

Now all the remaining troops of Nanzhao are fighting desperately outside.

Chen Changgui was very scared. He was a man who was very afraid of death.

He was lucky enough not to be transferred to the front line, but instead received an order to guard the house.

Once there was danger, he would drive the carriage parked in the backyard and take the Chen family's family to flee to a distant place to accumulate strength and recover Nanzhao.

When he received this order, Chen Changgui breathed a sigh of relief.

He just practiced martial arts but never actually went to the battlefield.

He even felt that once he went to the battlefield, he would be so scared that he would not be able to hold his sword even when facing the enemy.

That's why I'm so scared.

When he received the news that the enemy army had reached the edge of the imperial city, he was so nervous that he didn't sleep well for two or three days.

Things soon took a turn.

Suddenly on this day, the third son of the Chen family at the front line sent a letter, asking the guards in the mansion to open the granaries and release the grain, and transport all the grain to the front line to supply the army.

Chen Changdao was also among this group of people. When he received the news, he felt like the world had fallen on him.

I was afraid that I would be drafted into the army when I went to the front line.

But he was just a guard in the mansion and had no chance to choose.

They had no choice but to push the cart to transport food and supplies out of the city.

When they arrived outside the city, their baggage train happened to encounter a war.

This was the first time in his life that he encountered a real battlefield of blood and fire.

The combat effectiveness of the enemy's mechanical troops was so terrifying that it was hard to describe. In just a few breaths, they had killed a large number of their Nanzhao vanguard troops.

But the troops behind were still shouting to charge.

They rushed forward one after another, guarding the baggage train closely behind them.

Chen Changgui didn't dare to look.

He lowered his head, quickened his pace, and pushed the food forward.

I thought this would prevent me from having nightmares.

But when a severed arm flew towards his face, he felt a mixture of blood and warmth.

At that moment, he almost went crazy.

He dropped the food cart in his hand and returned home.

That day, he witnessed the brutality of the enemy and the horror of the battlefield.

And his luck came into play again at this moment.

There is a saying that a disaster can last for a thousand years.

He thought that he must be the disaster.

In the battle that day, the baggage train transporting food and fodder to the front line, and the Nanzhao vanguard troops protecting them, were all killed by the people of the Shenmu Kingdom.

No one was alive except him.

So no one knew that he was a deserter.

All we know is that he returned to Chen Mansion covered in blood from the chaotic battlefield and reported what happened on the front line.

The generals of the Chen family immediately called on the imperial troops to go and seize the food and fodder back.

Fortunately, the final result was good. They recovered most of the food and transported it to the front battlefield.

If the soldiers can have enough food, the war can last longer.

As for Chen Changgui, the Chen Mansion was even more short of guards at this time. He ran back from the battlefield covered in blood.

For some unknown reason, he was identified as a brave soldier.

He was ordered to stay in the mansion to protect the elderly, the weak, women and children.

But no one knew that he had nightmares every day in the few days after he came back.

I dreamed that I was on a battlefield with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and countless long swords were slashing at me, cutting me into eight pieces.

In his dream, he turned around and found that the second son of the Chen family, who picked him up from outside the city, taught him martial arts, and gave him enough food, had already died under the city wall, only one step away from the city gate.

In this way, Chen Changgui almost went crazy due to the fear of death every day.

God seems to always give him opportunities.

On this day, after hearing the news of the continuous defeat at the front line, several sons of the Chen family prepared to lead their troops to redeploy.

Although in Chen Changgui's opinion, this was futile. The enemy's combat effectiveness was so terrifying that they could hardly resist. No matter how hard they tried, it was impossible to stop them.

But both the government and the opposition are working hard.

As a small guard, he had no way of persuading everyone to run away now.

Yes, after tossing and turning for the past few days, he has figured out that escape is the only way out.

But now there are troops from the Shenmu Kingdom roaming around outside, where can I run to?

Unless the other person can accept you.

After this idea was born, it was like a seed gradually taking root and sprouting in my heart.

As for how to do it, he has already thought about it.

That night, he came to the kitchen to deliver food to the master.

The head of the Chen family, Old Master Chen, hasn't slept for several days.

At this moment, I finally couldn't help falling asleep and put the food aside quietly.

Chen Changgui glanced down.

The defense map happened to be on the master's desk.

After a slight hesitation, he extended his hand...
