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

Yang Ling smiled slightly, patted Huang Chaowei on the shoulder, and looked extremely satisfied.

Once he has the 300,000-strong army in his hands, he can truly do whatever he wants.

Huang Chaowei dared not say anything at this moment, after all, things had come to this point, and he was the most vulnerable one.

"Once I have incorporated those 300,000 troops into my army, the general will naturally become the most powerful general under my command."

For Yang Ling, who has lived in modern times, making empty promises is a basic skill.

Huang Chaowei nodded very seriously. Did he have any other choice now?

But then again, it would be feasible for me to become a general in this place.

Once you have real power, you'll have completely turned your life around.

Soon, the time came to night.

Huang Chaowei led a group of men to the place where the 300,000-strong army was stationed, but when he arrived there, he was dumbfounded.

"General...we...we're afraid we won't be able to go back today."

Huang Chaowei's subordinates said with a bitter expression, while in front of them, the true leader of the 300,000-strong army was holding a leg of lamb and looking at them with a smile.

"General Huang, I heard that you have already joined the Ninth Prince. Are you coming here tonight to take over the 300,000-strong army for the Ninth Prince?"

The speaker was none other than Lin Chong, the commander of an army of 300,000 and the first marshal of the Great Liang Dynasty.

In the Liang Kingdom today, there are very few people who can be called generals.

Huang Chaowei and Lin Chong had a history of conflict. Although Lin Chong was a scholar, he had an unusual fondness for wielding swords and spears.

You could say this person is both intelligent and skilled.

So under normal circumstances, Huang Chaowei doesn't want to have any conflict with this person.

But what could he do now that things had come to this? If he didn't behave himself on the Ninth Prince's territory, he would probably only face certain death.

"General Lin, what are you saying? Whether it's the Crown Prince or the Ninth Prince, aren't they both His Majesty's sons? Aren't they both thinking of the future of our Great Liang?"

Huang Chaowei said these words with a forced smile, but as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chong burst into laughter.

"General Huang, are you kidding me?"

Lin Chong gave a slight sneer and his gaze fell on Huang Chaowei.

"These 300,000 troops were reserved by His Majesty to protect our Great Liang Dynasty. How did they become working for the Ninth Prince in your mouth? Huang Chaowei, Huang Chaowei, your flattery is not very good."

In Lin Chong's eyes, Huang Chaowei was a complete opportunist.

He sides with whoever has power. Although the Ninth Prince has now established a firm foothold in Liangzhou, to be honest, with his current strength, it is difficult for him to contend with the imperial court.

"Lin Chong, what do you mean by this?!"

Huang Chaowei said with a dissatisfied look, "Lin Chong is really going too far. He is a general appointed by the imperial court. How can he be humiliated like this?"

When Lin Chong saw Huang Chaowei's reaction, a contemptuous smile appeared on his lips.

"It's nothing, just a friendly reminder that General Huang must understand who he is working for, lest he become a double-servant."

"Lin Chong, who do you think you are?"

Huang Chaowei glared angrily at Lin Chong, who was far too presumptuous.

When Lin Chong heard this, he smiled slightly.

"General Huang, do you really think that the Ninth Prince will sincerely accept you? You were a fence-sitter before, jumping around like this. I'm afraid the Ninth Prince has never trusted you for a moment."

A cold smile appeared on Lin Chong's lips, and the curved knife in his hand emitted a chilling light.

Huang Chaowei gritted his teeth upon hearing this, realizing he had no way out.

"Lin Chong, since things have come to this point, then I will be frank with you. You can still surrender now, or you will end up with a death sentence."

Huang Chaowei stared coldly at Lin Chong. At this moment, he had no choice but to go all out.

Since things have already come to this point, what other way out does he have?

As for what the Ninth Prince might think, it didn't matter to him at all. As long as he could help the Ninth Prince accomplish this task today, his position would be secure from now on.

Lin Chong looked at Huang Chaowei and a bright smile appeared on his lips.

"Huang Chaowei, since you're courting death, don't blame me."

Lin Chong gave a slight sneer, then waved his hand to the guards behind him, "Take him down!"

At his command, the crowd that had been waiting immediately surrounded him.

Lin Chong was extremely confident at this moment, believing that the Ninth Prince could not possibly take away his 300,000-strong army.

However, he greatly underestimated Yang Ling's cunning. Just as his men were about to rush forward and arrest Huang Chaowei...

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and the guards who were about to arrest Huang Chaowei fell to the ground.

The smell of gunpowder mixed with the stench of blood, and Lin Chong's brows furrowed.

He heard those gunshots clearly just now. He had long heard that the Ninth Prince possessed powerful weapons, but he never expected to see them in person today.

"Lin Chong, I advise you to surrender. His Highness the Ninth Prince said that as long as you are willing to submit to him, you can have anything you want."

Huang Chaowei looked at Lin Chong with a sneer. He was glad that the Ninth Prince had sent people to protect him in secret, otherwise he would probably have really been defeated here today.

Huang Chaowei had immense respect for the Ninth Prince's methods.

Lin Chong smiled slightly upon hearing this, the gunshots he had just heard had put him under immense pressure.

But now that things have come to this point, how could he possibly surrender so easily?

"Huang Chaowei, you can't fool me. This army of 300,000 is His Highness the Crown Prince's only reliance. Even if I die today, I will not hand it over to you."

Lin Chong smiled slightly, his whole demeanor unusually resolute at that moment.

Hearing this from the shadows, Yang Ling sighed helplessly. If she had known this person would be so determined, she wouldn't have come.

Just find someone to assassinate.

"General Lin is indeed a man of great loyalty. My imperial brother was right about you!"

Yang Ling's voice suddenly rang out, and Huang Chaowei was completely dumbfounded. Even Lin Chong trembled all over at this moment.

"Your Highness...you...what are you doing here?"

Huang Chaowei looked terrified; he hadn't expected Yang Ling to have been hiding in the shadows all along.

Yang Ling ignored Huang Chaowei's words and focused her gaze on Lin Chong.

"General Lin, I gave you a chance before, but judging from your attitude now, you don't seem to want to submit to me. Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless."
