The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

"You may leave now. I'll think about it!"

After a moment, he spoke.

As soon as Yang Ling finished speaking, An Yu bowed and withdrew.

Yang Ling, meanwhile, remained seated, lost in thought.

In recent days, the situation within the Great Liang Kingdom could be described as a storm brewing.

The people of Daliang were living in constant fear.

Especially at the city gate, people would kneel on the ground every day, begging Yang Ling for mercy.

This made Yang Ling extremely irritable.

After all, in his memory, the people loved and respected the royal family immensely, and he felt somewhat guilty for turning around and attacking the Great Liang.

"Your Highness!"

Just then, An Yu walked in again.

"Say it!"

Yang Ling raised her head, her eyes somewhat gloomy.

"Our people have learned from inside the city that Liu Zheng is secretly colluding with the Princess of Beihai, preparing to take the city from within and without."

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Yang Ling's eyes.

Liu Zheng is incredibly audacious; he actually dared to cause trouble right under my nose.

Is he really not afraid of dying?

"An Yu, immediately pass down the order to General Zhang: if he fails to breach the city within three days, he shall bring his head to me!"

Yang Ling clenched her fists, her voice filled with anger.

Upon seeing this, An Yu bowed and withdrew.

Just as he stepped out of the camp, a fast horse galloped from the city.

An Yu was puzzled. How could a spy from the Great Liang Kingdom have the audacity to infiltrate their camp?

The order was immediately given to prepare for the arrest of this person.

When An Yu saw the man's waist tag, his expression changed drastically.

This person is none other than one of my spies. What is he doing here? What is going on?

"Bring this man up here!"

The order was given immediately.

Moments later, the soldier was bound hand and foot and taken to the camp.

An Yu looked at the other person with a somewhat gloomy gaze.

"How did you escape? Tell me!"

The man's face was pale, clearly he was frightened.

Fortunately, his badge wasn't taken away by the other party, which brought him some relief.

"Reporting to the General, I was originally in the city, in charge of the city's movements. However, unexpectedly, yesterday, a large number of soldiers suddenly surrounded my residence. I had no way to escape, so I hid in the sewers."

The soldier's voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating that he was quite frightened.

Upon hearing this, An Yu finally understood.

It turns out he was just lucky. But that's fine too, at least His Highness Yang Ling knows Liu Zheng's whereabouts.

"Okay, I understand. You may leave now!"

He then spoke.

Afterwards, An Yu walked back to the central command tent.

Upon seeing Yang Ling, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness, our spies in the city have discovered Liu Zheng's whereabouts. This person seems to have connections with the Great Liang Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ling frowned slightly. How could Liu Zheng be associated with the royal family of the Great Liang Kingdom?

Just as he was deep in thought, An Yu's voice came again.

"Your Highness, our people have discovered the movements of Liu Zheng and the Princess of Beihai."

Yang Ling then raised her head, looking at An Yu with some confusion in her eyes.

"Bring this man up!"

Upon hearing Yang Ling's words, An Yu immediately stepped out of the tent.

A moment later, the scout was brought up.

Yang Ling's gaze swept over the other person before she spoke, "You just said that Liu Zheng is colluding with the Great Liang Kingdom?"

"Your Highness, spare me! I didn't lie!"

Upon hearing Yang Ling's words, the man was immediately terrified.

He then recounted how he had been ambushed.

When Yang Ling heard about this, he frowned slightly. Liu Zheng had already colluded with the Great Liang Kingdom so early on?

What is he thinking? Could it be that he really has his eye on the things in this city?

"An Yu, pass down the order to investigate. I don't believe that a mere Liu Zheng can cause any trouble!"

Yang Ling's voice carried a hint of anger.

Meanwhile, inside Liu Zheng's residence in the city, Li Qing and Princess Beihai sat together, seemingly discussing something.

Their expressions were somewhat serious, but Liu Zheng ignored them, pondering how to maximize his gains.

Just as they were talking, a group of uninvited guests suddenly arrived at Li Qing's residence.

"Miss Li, His Highness wishes to see you. Would you be willing?"

These people were all city guards, and they were carrying blades, making them look very frightening.

"How is this going?"

Li Qing frowned slightly, and then spoke.

"His Highness has given the order. If you disagree, then there's no need for us to be polite!"

After hearing Li Qing's words, the leader spoke again.

At this moment, Liu Zheng suddenly spoke up: "Who are you people? Do you dare to cause trouble here?"

"Your Highness, this is a matter concerning our Great Liang Kingdom. We hope you will not get involved!"

At this moment, a soldier in armor walked in from outside and then spoke.

Liu Zheng was slightly taken aback when he saw this scene. Could it be that all of these people were sent by Yang Ling?

"In that case, you may take Miss Li away!"

After a moment, he spoke directly.

After he finished speaking, he was somewhat surprised to see that Princess Beihai came out of the room and looked at him angrily.

"How dare you cause trouble here! Get out of here!"

"Your Highness, don't forget, Qing'er is mine now. What you're doing is a slap in my face!"

Upon hearing the reprimand from the Princess of Beihai, Li Qing suddenly spoke up as well.

"Men, seize them! If they dare to resist, kill them without mercy!"

Seeing the expressions on Li Qing's and the Princess of Beihai's faces, they immediately sensed that something was amiss.

At that very moment, Liu Zheng spoke up, "What are you all standing there for? Do you want to rebel?"

At this moment, he understood that these people were probably Yang Ling's men, and the Princess of Beihai should have known their identities long ago.

However, she didn't say anything, and quietly waited until now.

Liu Zheng knew in his heart that if he wanted to gain the greatest benefit, he had to win over the Princess of Beihai.

Although he doesn't currently intend to get involved in the affairs of the Great Liang Kingdom, that doesn't mean he won't in the future.

Now is a very good opportunity, and he cannot miss it.

Just as he finished speaking, a large number of soldiers rushed in and surrounded Li Qing and Princess Beihai.
