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

Yang Ling spoke these words without any politeness, after all, that's how the world is, a mere commander of the three armies can be killed at any time if he doesn't obey his orders.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chong frowned deeply, glanced at the Ninth Prince in front of him, and his lips twitched slightly.

"Your Highness should think this through carefully. If any misunderstanding arises today, it will be difficult to explain to His Majesty!"

Lin Chong understood that the Ninth Prince never considered the consequences of his actions, so he had no choice but to invoke the Emperor's name.

I only hope that the current emperor can still play a role with the Ninth Prince, otherwise I'm afraid my life will be in danger today.

Yang Ling burst out laughing upon hearing the other person's words, her eyes looking as if she were seeing a dead person.

"General Lin is still somewhat naive. Do you think my father never had any intention of killing me? Would I even consider such things?"

Yang Ling's expression was cold and stern, showing no regard for Lin Chong whatsoever, not even the slightest bit of respect.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chong trembled, realizing that he had no choice but to prepare for the worst.

If it were any of the other princes, they might have been spared, but the Ninth Prince…

"Since Your Highness has said so, then today's matter certainly cannot be resolved peacefully."

Lin Chong's tone was already very impatient. He was fully prepared to fight Yang Ling to the death today.

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of soldiers wielding long spears suddenly rushed out from all around.

As soon as those people came out, they immediately surrounded Yang Ling and the others, making it impossible for them to get through.

"Since Your Highness insists on this, then you can't blame me!"

Lin Chong had a faint smile on his lips. Now that things had come to this, what could anyone do to him?

Seeing the other party's arrogance, Yang Ling smiled. He couldn't wait to see the other party's desperate expression.

Just as tensions were running high, a voice suddenly came from outside the crowd.

The atmosphere on the scene instantly froze. The soldiers who had rushed out looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally all put down their weapons.

A look of surprise appeared on Yang Ling's face. He turned his head to look outside and saw a general wearing armor and a helmet walk in.

"Who do we have here? Isn't this His Highness the Ninth Prince?"

A person slowly walked out from the crowd. He was not particularly tall or strong, but his aura was quite imposing.

This person looked to be about the same age as Yang Ling, and his armor made him look very dashing.

When this guy walked in, Lin Chong's expression changed immediately; the smug look on his face turned ugly.

"General Li Xuan, what brings you here?"

Lin Chong's face was extremely grim. This Li Xuan was no ordinary person; he held a pivotal position in the military.

In particular, his strength is extraordinary, comparable even to Lin Chong.

Most importantly, this guy was very tactful and knew how to advance and retreat in his actions, so he was well-liked and also very much favored by the emperor.

When Yang Ling saw the other party come out, a smile immediately appeared on his lips. Although it was unclear whether Li Xuan was friend or foe to him, given the man's character, he shouldn't be inclined to start a conflict with him here.

"I just saw Your Highness being surrounded here, so I came to see what was going on."

Li Xuan smiled as he looked at Yang Ling.

Yang Ling responded with a smile, "In that case, I would like to ask General Li to make the decision for me."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan's lips curled into a smile. "Your Highness, what are you saying? Aren't we all family?"

Li Xuan walked over with a smile, glanced at the soldiers around him, and said, "Put down your weapons now!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding soldiers exchanged bewildered glances.

Finally, they all put down their weapons.

These guys were Lin Chong's personal guards. Although they usually obeyed Lin Chong's orders, they were even more aware that on certain matters, they had to obey the military's orders.

Within this military, Li Xuan's position was irreplaceable, so when he uttered those words, none of the soldiers around him dared to disobey.

"All of you, get out of my way!"

Lin Chong's face was extremely ugly. He glared fiercely at the people around him and cursed.

Upon hearing Lin Chong's order, those people quickly retreated. Li Xuan glanced at the two men in front of him and led them into the tent.

When Yang Ling arrived at the tent, he looked around and found that there were only the three of them inside.

It seems that Li Xuan has something important to discuss today, otherwise he wouldn't have brought the two of them here.

Lin Chong's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant.

"General Li, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to protect the Ninth Prince?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan smiled faintly and patted Lin Chong beside him, saying, "Commander Lin, you're mistaken. I have no intention of protecting anyone."

Li Xuan finished speaking, then glanced at Yang Ling in front of him, his smile widening: "I just think that what Your Highness wants to do is not wrong."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ling's face showed a look of surprise. What exactly did the other person mean by that?

Upon hearing this, Lin Chong's face immediately turned ugly.

As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, Lin Chong's face turned extremely ugly.

"Li Xuan, this is blatant rebellion!"

Lin Chong roared angrily. He never expected that such an important figure in the army would say such a thing.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ling frowned deeply. He couldn't figure out what this guy was up to, or why he suddenly said something like that.

Li Xuan didn't care about those words at all. He walked up to the two of them with a smile and said, "Please be patient and let me finish what I have to say."

Lin Chong was furious, but after seeing the expression on Li Xuan's face, he held back.

Yang Ling, standing to the side, frowned as she looked at Li Xuan, wanting to know what he would say next.

“I know the purpose of your visit. Your Highness wants to take over this army of 300,000, but General Lin is unwilling to hand it over.”

“But I think His Highness is right. These 300,000 troops should not be handed over to you, General Lin.”

Upon hearing Li Xuan's words, both of them showed expressions of surprise.

Yang Ling never expected this guy to help her, and Lin Chong's face turned ashen.
