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

Yang Ling had a faint smile on his lips. He hadn't expected to find an opportunity to fight those people, but they actually sent him a knife.

Mingyue nodded, but still looked guilty.

The news spread quickly, and Huang Chaowei and Chen Ming arrived at the Prince's Mansion overnight.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

The two exchanged pleasantries as soon as they met. Yang Ling nodded slightly, thinking, "What can that group of people do to me?"

"You two really got the news quickly."

Yang Ling said with a smile.

"Your Highness, this matter is already widely known. The State of Chu has gone too far in bullying us."

Chen Ming looked furious, as if he were the one who had been assassinated.

Yang Ling nodded indifferently. First, the second prince of Qi had his granary burned down.

Later, the State of Chu sent someone to assassinate him.

Neither of these two countries will have a good life from now on.

"General Huang, I heard that the barbarians in the west have made some moves again. Why didn't you go to the west and stay there? Why did you come here instead?"

Yang Ling took a sip of tea and then spoke.

Huang Chaowei was silent for a moment: "Your Highness, we were originally going to set off today, but then we heard about Your Highness's situation, so we stayed."

Huang Chaowei said these words in a very serious tone, and Yang Ling frowned slightly.

Looking at the two guys in front of him, he realized that his assassination attempt was definitely related to them.

However, now is not the time to bluff. He still needs to use these two people to properly deal with the State of Chu.

"The State of Chu is truly going too far. I intend to lead my army to attack Chu. Do you two have any objections?"

Yang Ling narrowed his eyes, a cold glint in them.

"This……"

Huang Chaowei hesitated. After all, this time the Chu Kingdom was different from usual; their strength far exceeded that of the past. If they attacked rashly, perhaps...

"Your Highness, you should think it over carefully."

Huang Chaowei sighed softly, as if he was thinking about something.

Chen Ming was also watching from the side, and seeing the expressions on their faces, Yang Ling cursed inwardly.

These two guys are definitely up to something; putting on a show right in front of me is a bit too much.

"Your Highness, given the current situation, we should not launch a major offensive. Insufficient food and supplies are a cardinal sin in warfare!"

After holding back for a long time, Huang Chaowei finally spoke slowly.

"Hmph, am I just going to suffer this in silence?"

Yang Ling snorted coldly, a hint of icy coldness flashing in her eyes, and she looked somewhat angry.

"Your Highness, what if we do this rashly and can't win?"

Chen Ming couldn't help but ask a question. This question had actually been lingering in his mind, but he had always been too embarrassed to say it.

"Even if we can't win, we have to fight. Otherwise, I won't be able to swallow this insult. If they dare to assassinate and kidnap me today, they'll dare to kill our soldiers tomorrow. We absolutely cannot tolerate this."

Yang Ling looked indignant and extremely angry.

Chen Ming and Huang Chaowei exchanged a glance, a knowing smile flashing in their eyes.

“Since Your Highness has already made up your mind, we two will naturally support you. I will go back now and start preparing supplies first thing tomorrow morning.”

Chen Ming looked very confident, as if he were truly willing to risk his life for Yang Ling.

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Yang Ling nodded, then patted Chen Ming on the shoulder.

After the two left, the room instantly became empty, and Yang Ling frowned.

"Your Highness, these two are definitely up to something. Should I send two brothers up to take them out?"

The bodyguards stood behind Yang Ling; their earlier actions clearly indicated they were there to stir up trouble.

Yang Ling smiled slightly and waved her hand, a cryptic smile on her face.

"There's no need to worry about those two. They're just two clowns; they can't cause much trouble."

Yang Ling remained calm, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes, seemingly not taking the two of them seriously.

The guard looked at his master with some doubt in his heart.

Although their master is not very old, his strategy is absolutely top-notch.

Moreover, their prince has never failed, nor does he ever make a mistake.

Yang Ling sat in the chair, looking languid, but a dangerous glint flashed in her eyes.

……

Early the next morning, Yun'er brought a cup of tea to Yang Ling's room.

Yang Ling had just woken up and, upon seeing the beauty who had suddenly appeared in his room, a part of his body began to move uncontrollably.

He grabbed the blanket next to him and quickly covered himself up.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

Yun'er looked completely bewildered, her clear eyes fixed on Yang Ling.

"Ahem, what are you doing in my room so early in the morning? It's not appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in a room together."

Yang Ling coughed a few times and said with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Yun'er burst out laughing: "Your Highness, you look so funny right now. You saved Yun'er's life. Even if Your Highness wants to do something, Yun'er won't resist."

Yang Ling's lips twitched. The implication was so clear, but he absolutely could not do anything about it now.

"Ahem... You can leave the tea there. I need to get up. You can go outside now!"

Yang Ling said awkwardly, while Yun'er smiled secretly and left Yang Ling's room, looking back every few steps.

After Yun'er left, Yang Ling finally breathed a long sigh of relief. That girl was getting more and more mischievous.

However, Yang Ling quite liked her appearance; at least she was lively and innocent.

By the time Yang Ling was dressed, Huang Chaowei and Chen Ming were already waiting outside the door.

"Your Highness, Minister Chen and I are all ready. We have gathered all the provisions and supplies. When shall we depart?"

Huang Chaowei's face was full of smiles, and his eyes were full of respect when he looked at Yang Ling, as if Yang Ling's words represented everything.

"Alright, lead your 300,000 troops, let's go now!"

Yang Ling made the final decision, and Huang Chaowei was somewhat shocked when he heard this. Is leading troops into battle so casual?

"Your Highness, my 300,000 troops are not in Liangzhou right now, and I'm afraid they won't be able to get here anytime soon."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ling felt a surge of emotions. He had previously received information that these 300,000 troops were stationed in a valley not far from Liangzhou City.

Now he's pretending to be deaf and dumb in front of me; this kid definitely has no good intentions.

However, it is no longer so important to him. Even without his 300,000 troops, he can lead just over 10,000 soldiers to the border of Chu. A small battle is enough to shock all the other countries.
