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

Yin Pan'er didn't understand, and even less believed, that Xiao Ce would dare to fight the Turks with only a thousand cavalrymen.

Looking at Xiao Ce's expression, it certainly didn't seem like he was joking.

He nodded and listened attentively.

Xiao Ce explained in detail everything that might happen in the future and what he wanted her to do.

Xiao Ce looked at Yin Pan'er, completely bewildered: "Didn't you understand?"

Yin Pan'er smiled awkwardly and asked Xiao Ce for paper and pen, wanting to write it down.

Xiao Ce considerately took out a mind map that he had prepared in advance.

Yin Pan'er was stunned when she saw the so-called mind map.

After all, the numerous and complicated matters that Xiao Ce originally spoke of were actually organized very clearly by a mind map.

"That's all for now. I've recorded it all on this mind map! As long as you follow my instructions, there won't be any problems!"

Only then did Yin Pan'er become certain that Xiao Ce was truly going to attack the Turks.

"Your Highness, are you really going to attack the Turks? But isn't it too reckless of you to lead a thousand cavalry? There are more than twenty Turkic tribes, large and small! Even the smallest tribe has more than a thousand cavalry."

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "That's enough! It's not about the quantity of soldiers, but their quality! Pan'er, don't worry! I won't let you be a widow!"

Yin Pan'er said with a complicated expression, "You'd better be alright! I told you before I came... If anything happens to you, I won't stay a widow for you! So, if you don't want me to marry someone else, you'd better come back alive!"

When Xiao Ce looked at Yin Pan'er and said these words, his voice trembled slightly.

Looking at her expression, which showed three parts reluctance and seven parts worry, she was so adorable that I couldn't help but smile and pinch her cheek.

"I promise you! I will definitely come back alive. But you also have to promise to keep an eye on my house! Don't let it be burgled when I come back!"

Yin Pan'er pointed to the very detailed mind map on the paper next to her, outlining the things she would do in the future, and said with a smile, "You've been teaching me step by step. If I still can't do this well, I might as well not live. I might as well not be human!"

Seeing Yin Pan'er like this, Xiao Ce felt a surge of emotion. He stepped forward and embraced Yin Pan'er's slender waist, saying, "If you can't be a person, then be a horse! I'm a skilled rider!"

Yin Pan'er blushed instantly to the roots of her ears and broke free.

"Not today! If you had come back alive, I...I could...reward you..."

With that, Yin Pan'er blushed and hurriedly left. When she reached the door, she suddenly turned around.

"Come back alive!"

Before Xiao Ce could give an answer, Yin Pan'er hurriedly left.

After Yin Pan'er left, Xiao Ce said to Da Lei, "Da Lei, go and make the arrangements. You and Axe Ox will stay with me! The other twelve Fiends will stay here to protect the Princess! They will obey the Princess's orders!"

Da Lei was somewhat worried: "Your Highness, this time you are leading a thousand cavalry to attack the Turks, which is extremely dangerous... There are a hundred thousand troops protecting us here, so the Princess will be fine!"

Xiao Ce said, "This place may seem calm on the surface, but there are undercurrents beneath. My going to fight the Turks may seem dangerous, but there won't be too much danger. Besides, if you and Axe Niu can't protect me, then no matter how many people are there, it won't help! Go and make the arrangements."

Since Xiao Ce had said so, Da Lei nodded and did it.

As Xiao Ce spoke, he sent someone to fetch Zhang Yunqing.

...

At this time, in the Ashina tribe of the Turks.

Mos Ashina, leading his four Iron Guards, had driven several horses to their deaths before finally returning to the Ashina tribe.

Inside the tribal tent.

Mos Ashina bowed with his hands on his chest, speaking with great excitement.

"Father, your son has returned alive! Thank you for sending the Iron Guards to rescue me! If it weren't for your help, I would have died at the hands of those despicable Xiao people."

Ashina rose from his tiger-skin seat and walked forward with a concerned expression.

"My child, you have suffered... This is what a father should do..."

Before Ashina could finish speaking, his gaze fell on Mos Ashina's hand.

Although he already knew from the letter that his son had a finger chopped off.

However, after seeing it with his own eyes, his gaze remained cold: "Moss, is this the finger that the useless prince chopped off?"

Mos Ash nodded with a dark expression upon seeing this.

He recounted the inhumane treatment he had suffered there, as well as Xiao Ce's behavior.

After hearing Moss's words, Ashina's expression turned icy cold: "That piece of trash dared to bully my prince like that... That's contempt and contempt for our Turks!"

"Mos, rest assured! I will avenge you tenfold for the humiliation you suffered! I have gathered all the cavalry from all the tribes. He cut off one of your fingers, and I want the heads of ten thousand people from the Xiao Kingdom to offer as a sacrifice for you! This time, we plan to take over the four prefectures of Mobei within a month and occupy the Central Plains within three months! We will make all the two-legged sheep of the Xiao Kingdom slaves of our noble Turkic people!"

Mos Ash's eyes lit up as he listened, and he said excitedly, "Father Khan, you have made up your minds to launch a full-scale attack."

Ashina nodded and said, "That's right! I've already given the order, and all sides are preparing provisions and supplies!"

Mos Ashina bowed and said, "Father Khan, your son is willing to be the vanguard! Your son wants to capture that useless Xiao Ce, and bring him and his wife to our side with the sheep-leading ceremony, so that they can see me slaughtering the people of Xiao, and see the consequences of offending us Turks: the destruction of the country and the death of the family!"

Ashina slammed his fist on the table and said, “Good! I hereby appoint you as the vanguard... Three days from now is the day we agree to join forces. Once all the tribes have assembled, we can march on the northern desert! Using the sheep-leading ceremony is too polite for him. I will cut off his hands and feet for you and soak him in a bucket of horse manure! Let him stay in the bucket of horse manure and watch the destruction of the Xiao Kingdom!”

As soon as Ashina spoke, all the Turkic princes in the tent burst into laughter.

"Excellent! Put his queen inside our wooden horse, and use the 'Angry Horse Punishment' to reward our warhorses. Let that useless prince witness it!" Several Turkic princes laughed wildly.

This punishment of the angry horse is utterly inhumane.

The Turks would make a wooden horse prop in scale, put the person being punished inside, pose them in a specific position, and lock them inside.

Afterwards, they would feed the horses some medicine, and then put the warhorse and the wooden horse in the same cage. Then, under the influence of the medicine, the warhorse would go and enjoy the wooden horse.

The ones who are truly violated are the ones being tortured!

Mos Ashina's face flashed with excitement: "Excellent! How could I forget this! Excellent, let that good-for-nothing also suffer the punishment of the raging horse, let him feel the might of our Turkic warhorses."

After he finished speaking, the entire tent erupted in laughter.

Ashina asked, "Nuba, is the news that Xiao Ce is leading an army of 100,000 reliable?"

Nuba replied to Ashina, "Khan, although it is an army of 100,000, it is not what is rumored, nor is it an army privately trained by Xiao Dingshan!"

Ashina asked excitedly, "Oh? Are you sure?"

Nuba said to Ashina with great certainty, "That's right, it's your friend, Mr. Qianlong, who told me this himself!"

Ashina narrowed his eyes slightly: "You saw the Hidden Dragon?"

Nuba shook his head and said, "That Mr. Qianlong was playing tricks, hiding behind a barrier! I couldn't see him... But he did say that those were the 100,000-strong army chosen by the disaster victims. Although there were some veterans among them, they were utterly no match for him!"

"He also said that Xiao Ce is not worth fearing at all. Because he doesn't know anything about training troops. All he did along the way was have his soldiers practice formations and march in formation!"

Nuba couldn't help but chuckle as he spoke.

Ashina asked with a hint of doubt: "Marching in formation?"

Mos Ashina chimed in: "Father Khan, it's just that all the troops march in perfect formation. But I must say, it looks quite intimidating. You'd think they were a highly disciplined army."

Nuba laughed and said, "Their troops know nothing but this... an army that only knows how to put on a show, isn't it just an army made of sand? We can crush them to dust with our iron hooves! Your friend personally received us, and he said that those weren't Xiao Dingshan's troops at all. Xiao Dingshan's remaining troops are all garrisoning Yangguan."

Ashina burst into laughter: "Not bad...not bad...I, the Khan, was on high alert! But they were incredibly stupid! In their vast Xiao Kingdom, only Xiao Dingshan could barely fight me! And their ignorant emperor imprisoned him in the capital! Hahaha! Even Heaven is on my side!"

The princes addressed Ashina, saying, "Congratulations in advance on Father Khan's ascension to the throne of Xiao and the unification of the country!"

Ashina laughed loudly: "Hahaha, good! My princes, after I conquer the Xiao Kingdom, I will make you all kings!"

"Thank you, Father Khan!"

Ashina said proudly, "We, the Turkic Eagles, will surely occupy every inch of Xiao Ce's land! Tell all the tribes to speed up! I, the Khan, can't wait any longer. Let those soft-legged sheep of Xiao Kingdom taste the power of our Turkic iron hooves!"
