Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Frank interrupted before Xiao Ce could even finish speaking, saying, "Brother Ce, I know, he's a spy!"

Xiao Ce was somewhat surprised after hearing Frank's words.

He then chuckled, smiled at Frank, and said, "I knew it, you're not the kind of person who's not very vigilant... Okay, since you know that... that's good!"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Frank asked Xiao Ce, "Brother Ce, is that all?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Frank and then said, "Of course, since you know this, you must have your own plan. Moreover, I think that someone like this, who is already known to be a spy and is being kept by your side, is absolutely loyal under certain circumstances... and can completely dispel the thoughts of those with other intentions... which is actually safer..."

Frank smiled broadly after hearing Xiao Ce's words, then nodded, "That's right, Brother Ce, it seems we're on the same page after all..."

After hearing Frank's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Yes, Brother Frank, then go and make the arrangements for me, I need to go to sea..."

Frank smiled after hearing Xiao Ce's words, and then said, "Alright! Nothing else to say?"

Xiao Ce said to Frank, "If we're talking about catching up, that's fine. But if we're talking about explanations, there's nothing to explain... After all, you have your own ways, and I believe you can handle these things very well..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Frank laughed and said, "Brother Ce, are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Frank, then replied directly, "Well, to be honest, it's not that urgent..."

Frank smiled at Xiao Ce and then said, "Let's stay another night and have some drinks? We haven't had a proper drink since we parted ways last time."

"This time, after hearing what you said, we don't know when we'll be able to reunite again. So I'll ask you to stay just this once... shall we have a drink together?"

After hearing Frank's words, Xiao Ce smiled and nodded, "No problem... Let's have a drink together... Actually, even if you hadn't said it, I would have said it to you anyway..."

Frank smiled at Xiao Ce and said, "Really?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Frank and nodded, saying, "Of course!"

Frank smiled at Xiao Ce and then said, "Then let's drink until we drop?"

Xiao Ce laughed heartily, then said to Frank, "Even if you're drunk, you won't come home..."

Frank smiled and nodded.

As Xiao Ce spoke, he began to call Frank over to prepare some seafood.

Xiao Ce is planning to have a seafood barbecue.

...

That night, Xiao Ce and Frank drank quite a bit.

For the first time ever, Xiao Ce didn't hold back and drank until he was dizzy and fell into a deep sleep.

This was the first time Xiao Ce had a blackout, probably because he was under too much pressure.

These events may have made Xiao Ce feel an invisible pressure, as if an invisible hand had grabbed him.

Xiao Ce probably also wanted to escape for a moment.

When Xiao Ce woke up the next day, he was experiencing that long-lost hangover feeling.

When he woke up, he saw Yin Pan'er's stunningly beautiful face appear before Xiao Ce.

Yin Pan'er had a warm smile on her face, bathed in sunlight.

It made Yin Pan'er seem to be glowing.

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, I have never seen you like this before..."

Xiao Ce rubbed his head as Yin Pan'er brought him a bowl of warm soup.

"I've kept the hangover soup warm for you... drink it..."

Xiao Ce accepted the hangover soup that Yin Pan'er brought him. It was a bit like sugar water, but not so hot. Moreover, it wasn't very sweet either.

It also has a refreshing fragrance and sweetness. Most importantly, the temperature is neither too hot nor too cold, and it feels very comfortable when you drink it.

Yin Pan'er has been diligently working to maintain this temperature.

After Xiao Ce finished drinking, he felt as if his whole body had been opened up.

Xiao Ce then said to Yin Pan'er, "Pan'er, thank you for your trouble..."

Yin Pan'er smiled at Xiao Ce, then said, "Your Highness, this is nothing, but what you're doing is very unusual. I've never seen you so drunk, nor have I ever seen you black out like this..."

Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Pan'er, then said, "Pan'er, this matter is actually quite simple... Because, to be honest, there hadn't been such an opportunity before, nor a relatively safe environment. But last night, due to various factors, mainly the fact that you and Da Lei were both by my side, I felt very safe, so I indulged myself a little..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er smiled broadly and said, "Your Highness, I'm very happy to hear you say that..."

Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "I didn't lose my composure, did I...?"

Yin Pan'er then revealed a meaningful smile.

Seeing Yin Pan'er's smile, Xiao Ce immediately waved his hand and said, "Forget it, since I have no memory of it, I don't want to know!"

Yin Pan'er smiled at Xiao Ce and then said, "Your Highness, I was just joking with you. You're not usually one to get drunk and act crazy... After you got Frank drunk yesterday, he just lay there sleeping."

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "Okay, did Frank act drunk?"

Yin Pan'er smiled at Xiao Ce, then said, "No, both of you are of very good character... After drinking, you both went to sleep..."

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce said with a smile, "Alright, I didn't sleep for too long..."

Yin Pan'er nodded: "That's right, it's only about twelve hours at most..."

After drinking Yin Pan'er's hangover soup, Xiao Ce went outside and saw Frank already waiting there.

Frank saw Xiao Ce emerge and burst into laughter, then said to Xiao Ce, "Brother Ce, haha, although I got drunk faster than you yesterday, I woke up earlier than you, right..."

Xiao Ce also laughed heartily, then said to Frank, "Brother Frank, as the saying goes, experience is the best teacher. To be honest, this is the first time I've ever blacked out!"

Frank was still very happy after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

"Oh? So my alcohol tolerance is still pretty good. It seems you really are giving me face! I'll remember this favor..."

Xiao Ce waved his hand and said, "Brother Frank, we still want to thank you..."

Frank smiled at Xiao Ce and then said, "Thank me?"

Xiao Ce said to Frank, "That's right, after drinking like this once and then having a blackout sleep, I feel more comfortable than ever before..."

Frank smiled broadly after hearing Xiao Ce's words: "To be honest, me too..."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Frank said to Xiao Ce, "Brother Ce, alright, I won't waste any more words with you..."

Xiao Ce looked puzzled after hearing Frank's words.

Frank said to Xiao Ce, "I have arranged for a escort fleet to protect you, and this time Jones Snow will lead the team!"

Frank really put his heart into it.

"Okay, then I'll be going?"

Frank smiled at Xiao Ce readily and said, "Alright, I won't waste any more time with you... Have a safe trip... I won't see you off."

After Xiao Ce and Frank hugged, Xiao Ce smiled and then said to Frank, "Take care!"

Frank and Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "I will! I'll be waiting for you to come back. When you come back next time, I will definitely give you a navy that can sweep across the West and no longer fear any navy!"

After hearing Frank's words, Xiao Ce saw Frank's determined expression.

Xiao Ce then said to Frank, "I believe you..."

Frank then arranged for someone to take him, but this time he didn't come.

Xiao Ce could tell that Frank was afraid he would burst into tears...

Upon arriving at the port, Jones Snow was already waiting.

Jones Snow was overjoyed to see Xiao Ce.

"Brother Ce, we meet again!"

Looking at Jones Snow's confident expression, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Yes, it hasn't been long since we last met, and you seem to be in much better shape."

Jones Snow smiled at Xiao Ce and then said, "Brother Ce, you should say that good things are making you feel great..."

Xiao Ce then noticed that the badge on Jones Snow's chest had changed.

Although Xiao Ce didn't know the connection between the badge and his military rank, judging from his appearance, he had been promoted.

Xiao Ce smiled at Jones Snow and asked, "You got promoted?"

Jones Snow said to Xiao Ce, "Brother Ce, that's great, thanks to you. Without you, I probably wouldn't have been promoted so quickly..."

Xiao Ce heard Jones Snow say, "How can you talk like that? You sound so much like Xiao Guo, one thing after another..."

Jones Snow smiled at Xiao Ce, then said, "Because I'm learning your language..."

Only after Jones Snow brought it up did Xiao Ce realize his surprise...

I used to think that Morgana and her people learning the Xiao language was a niche thing.

However, unexpectedly, under Frank's advocacy, every naval officer who wanted a promotion was required to learn Xiao Guohua...

However, Jones Snow himself explained that he actually spoke these English words before Frank.

She went to study before Frank asked her to...

Jones Snow studied so hard because he hoped that one day he could serve Xiao Ce.

After hearing this, Xiao Ce said to Jones Snow, "Jones Snow, you don't seem to mind being promoted because of me?"

Jones Snow nodded and said, "Of course, why would I resist? General Frank has entrusted me with such an important task, and I will hold myself to even higher standards. Moreover, I believe I won't let this trust and promotion down... and I'm confident that I will work hard enough to be worthy of it..."

When Jones Snow said this, his gaze was very firm.

Seeing Jones Snow's expression, Xiao Ce nodded approvingly and said, "Not bad, that's a good idea..."

Then, Xiao Ce said to Jones Snow, "However, you're mistaken. Your current military rank and promotion have absolutely nothing to do with me... I've never said a word to Frank about promoting you... So, your promotion is entirely due to your own abilities."

Jones Snow smiled at Xiao Ce, then said, "Brother Ce, that's true, but it's only because I'm your little brother... that people were able to see me..."

Before Xiao Ce could speak, Jones Snow said to him, "Brother Ce, that's true, but I don't object to it... As the saying goes, even the best wine needs advertising..."

Listening to Jones Snow's elaborate explanations, Xiao Ce chuckled and said, "You've really taken it all to heart..."

Jones Snow nodded to Xiao Ce: "At first, it was indeed because of you, Brother Ce, that I started learning. However, the culture of Xiao Kingdom is profound and extensive. When I wasn't studying, it was alright, but once I got into it, I became interested in it..."

After Xiao Ce started talking about this with Jones Snow, he began to chatter on and on.

Xiao Ce waved his hand.

Jones Snow smiled at Xiao Ce and then said, "Brother Ce, did I say too much?"

Xiao Ce waved his hand, then said to Jones Snow, "No, it's good that you're interested, but could we go to the ship to talk?"

Jones Snow then realized what was happening and looked at Xiao Ce with a look of sudden realization, saying, "That's right, that's right, Brother Ce, please...please...look at me, I'm so excited..."

With that, Jones Snow invited Xiao Ce onto the warship.

These warships were all new, gifts from various countries, and in terms of organization, they belonged to the Lannister Navy, so they flew the Lannister Navy flag.

Of course, Frank and his crew also had their own navy. However, at this time, using these warships was more appropriate for their mission to the Roman Empire.

Then Jones Snow introduced the situation, saying that two squadrons, totaling twenty-four warships, were deployed.

These warships are the most advanced in the area, and the navy here is also composed of elite forces.

After saying this, Jones Snow looked a little embarrassed and said, "Brother Ce... I'm probably the most unfamiliar person with naval warfare here, as the fleet commander."
