After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Xie Xing looked at him with a strange expression.

Can you handle this?

If we could have handled it, none of this would have happened.

Xie Xing didn't bother to listen to a single word Xie Tongchen said.

So she just smiled.

Song Ci'an took a deep breath and was about to speak when a burst of fire suddenly appeared from the military camp.

The expressions on the faces of the three people changed simultaneously.

"This is bad!" Xie Tongchen exclaimed anxiously, "The direction of the fire seems to be our military camp!"

Even without Xie Tongchen saying it, Song Ci'an already knew.

There was no time to say anything. Xie Tongchen turned to look at Xie Xing and said, "Listen to me, leave now. War is not child's play."

With that, Xie Tongchen jumped onto the horse, squeezed his legs together, and was about to ride away.

Seeing this, Song Ci'an also ran towards the military camp.

Xie Xing was about to follow when Song Ci'an noticed. A vein throbbed on his forehead. He grabbed Xie Xing by the back of his collar and said, "Stop fooling around. That's not where you should be. Go in the opposite direction now."

"Let your tiger lead you down the old path."

As Song Ci'an spoke, he threw the man onto the tiger's back, then quickly disappeared from the spot, leaving with Xie Tongchen.

"Eh!"

Xie Xing paused, watching the two leave.

She puffed out her cheeks and lay on the moon's back: "It's dangerous in the military camp, as if it's safe for me to go back alone."

"Moon, let's go, let's take a shortcut to check out the military camp."

"Roar."

The moon let out a soft roar and leaped into the depths of the jungle.

Xie Tongchen and Song Ci'an were in a hurry, so they rode their horses at full speed and quickly arrived at the military camp.

They had just jumped off their horses and hurried toward the fire when they saw that the tents containing provisions had been burned to ashes.

Xie Tongchen's face was extremely ugly.

"What's going on?" he asked the soldiers around him with a cold face.

The soldier said with a look of despair, "General, we don't know! We were just about to go to sleep when we saw a rain of arrows coming towards our supplies."

"They were all arrows that were set on fire. Besides the supplies, they also burned several tents!"

"There is a traitor in the military camp."

Luo Hanfeng stood behind Xie Tongchen and Song Ci'an, his gaze deep as he looked at the charred tent, his expression somewhat cold.

Without supplies, their army simply wouldn't last long.

There's already a famine, and the people have nothing to eat. They're waiting for the imperial court to gather more grain and send it over, but they don't know if it will be stolen along the way.

"No one but the soldiers in the army could possibly know the location of the supplies."

"Without a traitor, the enemy could not have known the location of the supplies so accurately."

Luo Hanfeng walked over, his voice calm. As he spoke, he looked at Xie Tongchen and asked, "Where did the young general go just now?"

"How come someone set fire to the grain and fodder as soon as you disappeared?"

Xie Tongchen's expression hardened, and he looked coldly at Luo Hanfeng: "What do you mean?"

"Could it be that I burned this grain ration?"

Luo Hanfeng laughed: "I wouldn't know about that."

"After all, the young general is suspected of rebellion. Who knows if the young general harbors any resentment towards the emperor?"

Before Xie Tongchen could speak, Song Ci'an said, "Seventh Prince, you probably have never led troops before, have you?"

"Now is not the time to disrupt morale and create internal strife. What good will it do the young general if the grain supplies are burned?"

"If the Seventh Prince, as the commander-in-chief, only focuses on questioning without addressing the issue of supplies, then we can probably head back home now without even having to retake the city."

Luo Hanfeng's smile vanished, and he looked coldly at Song Ci'an.

"This young man is quite eloquent."

Xie Tongchen flicked his sleeves and strode towards the camp, coldly saying, "Now everyone go into the camp and think of a strategy!"

Everyone looked at each other.

Compared to Luo Hanfeng, Xie Tongchen, who returned victorious, was more popular with the army.

After all, everyone knows that Luo Hanfeng was a neglected prince in the palace who had only recently gained the emperor's favor.

The reason for having him accompany Xie Tongchen on the expedition was simply to share Xie Tongchen's credit and prevent Xie Tongchen from becoming too arrogant.

To put it bluntly, the goal is to suppress the Xie family.

As for whether he is truly capable, everyone knows the answer.

What abilities could a prince confined to the cold palace possibly possess?

How many military treatises have you read?

Is he just all talk and no action?

The young soldiers in the barracks followed Xie Tongchen one by one.

Luo Hanfeng stood there for a while, then a smile suddenly appeared on his expressionless face.

I laughed out of anger.

It seems that if he cannot produce tangible results, these soldiers will not be convinced of his abilities.

Luo Hanfeng turned around and slowly followed behind everyone.

Let's see how these people actually intend to solve the food supply problem.

……

the other side.

In the general's mansion.

Xie Yuze finally figured it out these past two days: things are completely different now than in his previous life.

In this time of my previous life, there was only famine caused by natural disasters, but no epidemics.

His elder brother was ordered to go south to deal with the disaster and investigate the remnants of the previous dynasty. However, he ended up investigating Xie Mingzhu and was killed in the fire.

Then the Southern Kingdom launched a war, and Xie Tongchen was ordered to quell it. However, Xie Mingzhu secretly followed him just because she thought it would be fun.

Because of her mistake, Xie Tongchen made a mistake and was threatened by the enemy to cripple his own power. In the end, Xie Mingzhu did not save Xie Tongchen, but only saved Luo Hanfeng, who was seriously injured by the enemy.

This led to Xie Tongchen being captured by the Southern Kingdom, and his head being hung at the city gate.

Now, however, disasters and epidemics have struck simultaneously. The Xie family has been falsely accused by Xie Mingzhu, and all the men in the Xie family except for him have been imprisoned.

Thinking of this, Xie Yuze's eyes were almost overflowing with resentment.

Xie, Ming, and Zhu!

He must kill her!

personally!

"Mother! Where is Xing'er?" Xie Yuze asked anxiously, as he hadn't heard any news about Xie Xing from Madam Xie.

Madam Xie's expression was unnatural.

Her feelings towards Xie Xing are complicated now.

She felt both resentment towards Xie Xing and a sense of guilt.

Her eyes darted away as she spoke, "Xing'er, she's probably being kept in the palace."

Xie Yuze pursed his lips.

"Mother, we owe Xing'er a lot. After we get through this difficult time, we will definitely treat Xing'er well."

Madam Xie glared at Xie Yuze, annoyed: "Didn't you have amnesia? How come you've recovered so quickly?"

"Our most important task now is to rescue your father and eldest brother!"

Xie Yuze said, "Mother, don't worry, I have a way."

"As long as I can speak with Prince Jin."

"Prince Jin?"

Madam Xie looked at Xie Yuze with a puzzled expression.

A glint flashed in Xie Yuze's eyes.

In his previous life, only Prince Jin could fight against Luo Hanfeng.

If it weren't for Prince Jin having a mother who couldn't distinguish right from wrong, it's likely that Prince Jin would have been the one to ascend the throne.
