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

The group of surrendered Turks looked puzzled.

Da Lei didn't explain, and changed the subject, "Alright, it's up to you now! The people outside are from the Tesa tribe, see if you can disguise yourselves as them."

The surrendered Turk nodded and said, "Sir, there's no problem. They may not even know each other's tribes. As long as they can speak Turkic, there won't be any issues."

Da Lei nodded and said, "Let them do it."

"Besides drugging them, what else do we need to do?" asked the leader of the surrendered Turks.

Da Lei waved his hand: "Then you can hide. We'll come looking for you."

The surrendered Turks nodded, and Da Lei did not linger there.

Since they were only instructed to administer drugs, even the surrendered Turks were only sent out by the more astute ones.

They walked openly down the street dressed in Turkic clothing.

It did not arouse any suspicion.

After observing and scouting several water stations, they hid.

They didn't start pouring packets of powder into the water source until just before dinner.

...

As night fell, Xiao Ce, leading the Ghost Cavalry and a large army assembled in the Turkic Khaganate, appeared ten miles outside the city.

Xiao Ce told Yan Jia to wait there, and then had Wei Wuji select two thousand of their elite troops to follow them.

Wei Wuji was excited when he heard that he could lead the vanguard.

However, he is still very shrewd about human relationships and social interactions.

"That General Yan Jia, you..."

Before Xiao Ce could answer, Yan Jia spoke up, "His Highness wants to train you! We are all seasoned veterans. You need this opportunity more than we do, and we will provide support for you from the outside."

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "That's right! Besides, there's no danger this time. We don't need them to go. You don't want to?"

Wei Wuji waved his hand and said very firmly that he was willing, and that they desperately needed this opportunity.

Xiao Ce glanced at the night sky and then ordered Wei Wuji to lead two thousand men to set off.

Under the cover of night, the group rode their horses quickly toward the city wall.

Upon seeing this, Wei Wuji initially asked Xiao Ce if they needed to provide cover.

As a result, Xiao Ce charged the furthest while riding 'Iron Egg'.

They had no choice but to chase after them.

Upon reaching the city wall, Wei Wuji asked Xiao Ce with a look of surprise, "Your Highness, how did you know there wasn't a single guard on this side of the city wall?"

Xiao Ce took out a pair of binoculars and shook them: "I just looked through this."

Wei Wuji looked at the copper-pipe-like object with a hint of doubt on his face.

"Your Highness, could this be a telescope that was seized from the Ashina tribe?"

Xiao Ce nodded in surprise when he saw that Wei Wuji recognized it: "You know the origin of this thing?"

Wei Wuji nodded: "This is a gift from Mos Ashina to Ashina Khan. It is said that one can see things far away through this. However, its origin is unknown. According to Mos Ashina, this is a treasure brought from overseas, worth a fortune!"

Xiao Ce was somewhat prepared, but he was still surprised.

"Fools' money is so easy to make! A telescope and a concave lens sell for a fortune! He thought his sugar and salt were already ripping people off. But this telescope is even worse. Once things are stable here, we must make sure to replicate all the things from later generations and sell them to these ancient people, ripping them off without them saying a word."

Xiao Ce muttered to himself.

I just looked through the binoculars and there was no one on the city wall, so I figured Da Lei must have succeeded in getting those surrendered Turks to be drugged.

They've probably gone too far now.

"Did you bring the ropes I told you to use to tie people up?"

Wei Wuji nodded: "Your Highness, each person carries a bundle."

Xiao Ce then directed, "Go outside the city wall. Wherever you find this pattern at a corner of the wall, follow it for three meters to find the entrance. There are tunnels there. Go in separately. Once inside, those people should be running around in panic. Capture them alive if you can. Kill anyone who resists."

Wei Wuji clasped his hands in agreement.

Xiao Ce found the nearest underground passage and went inside.

Within minutes, they passed through the underground passage and entered Yanbei City.

At this time, even in such a large city, there were thousands of garrison soldiers.

However, in this city, it's nothing special.

Xiao Ce's bodyguards, carrying repeating crossbows, walked along the street.

After walking for quite a while, they still hadn't seen any Turks.

The soldiers following Xiao Ce were about to ask a question.

Before they could ask, Xiao Ce gestured for them to be quiet.

I could vaguely hear groans and cries of pain, along with a crackling sound.

"Follow the sound; you're sure to find something."

As Xiao Ce spoke, the new recruits behind him rushed forward.

Xiao Ce followed, and soon after, a group of people were lined up at a latrine at a corner.

They all seemed unable to hold back, lined up, and relieved themselves on the spot.

The new recruits beside Xiao Ce brandished their weapons and shouted sternly, "Don't move!"

Hearing the commotion, the Turks snapped out of their daze.

When they saw Xiao Ce and his group, they all thought they were hallucinating because they were exhausted from diarrhea.

I subconsciously rubbed my eyes.

Before they could react, the group of recruits rushed forward and kicked them to the ground.

They were all squatting, one foot...

They were made to fall directly onto their own excrement.

Xiao Ce didn't want to watch this scene anymore; these new recruits had all been slaves before.

However, after Xiao Ce liberated the rear of the Turks, they gradually regained their confidence!

They hated these Turks to the core, so their actions were naturally quite ruthless.

Xiao Ce stopped looking and gathered more than ten people to walk to the city gate.

Looking at this concrete door, it is indeed very sturdy. This concrete door has many mechanisms, so it is not difficult to open.

As the axe-ox turned a millstone, the concrete city gate slowly opened.

After the city gates were opened wide, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance.

At that moment, shouts erupted from within the city.

Xiao Ce had the bonfires on the city gate lit, and he found a grand chair to sit in and wait.

In less than half an hour, the new recruits escorted a group of Turks who were not wearing trousers and were tightly bound.

A series of crackling sounds continued to come from behind.

Upon hearing the commotion, Xiao Ce quickly told them not to approach.

"Who are you? Have you Xiao people been hiding here all this time?" one of the men shouted at Xiao Ce.

Wei Wuji stepped forward and kicked the man in the knee.

"How dare you speak to our Northern Desert King like that? Insolence! Kneel down!"

The man knelt down on the ground with a thud.

Wei Wuji said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, this person is Wanyan Tiesa. He is the third prince of the Tiesa tribe."

After Wanyan Tiesa was kicked to his knees, he tried to struggle to get up.

As a result, he was pinned to the ground by two new recruits.

"You...you are Xiao Ce, the King of the Northern Desert? You haven't left at all?"

Xiao Ce sat down in the grand chair, a faint smile on his face: "What? You haven't left yet? I just arrived! I came from your Turkic rear..."

Wanyan Tiesa's face turned ashen: "Bullshit! That's impossible! I don't believe it!"

Xiao Ce rolled his eyes at Wanyan Tiesa: "Believe it or not, tie all these people up and keep them under guard. Treat them the same way they treated you before."

Wanyan Tiesa stared wide-eyed as he spoke, "You dare...?"

Xiao Ce's face darkened: "Gag him! He's talking too much nonsense!"

As Wei Wuji spoke, he picked up a large lump of hot horse manure from beside him and stuffed it into Wanyan Tiesa's mouth.

Xiao Ce waved his hand and said, "Take them all away quickly. They stink to death."

Seeing this, Wei Wuji waved his hand and was about to take them away.

Xiao Ce said to Wei Wuji, "Before locking them up, let them clean up their excrement first. We're trying to create a civilized city..."

Although Wei Wuji didn't understand the second half of the sentence, he understood the first half and bowed in agreement.

Watching these people leave.

When Da Lei arrived with the surrendered Turks, Yan Jia led his army in through the wide-open north gate.

They were all dumbfounded.

The north gate led directly to their Turkic territory, and indeed, this large army came from the Turkic region.

Aside from Da Lei's suggestion of "divine intervention," they couldn't think of any other possibility.

Upon seeing Xiao Ce, they slid to their knees.

"Greetings, King of the Northern Desert."

Xiao Ce glanced at them: "You are probably the smartest group among the Turks. How many of you are there?"

The leading Turkic man bowed and said, "Reporting to the King of the Northern Desert, there are two hundred and thirteen of us in this group!"

Xiao Ce looked at the middle-aged Turk who was leading the group. He spoke in a very organized manner and was not as humble as the other Turks.

"What's your name?"

The Turk bowed and said, "Your Highness, ninety percent of us are Ashina, and the remaining ten percent are Ashide. My name is Bond Ashina. However, Your Highness, ever since Ashina sent his son to kill us, I have not been Ashina anymore. My name is Bond!"

“That’s right, Your Highness! We are of Turkic origin, but since General Han Da gave us a way out, our hearts belong to the Xiao Kingdom!”

Listening to the Turks' words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Alright, enough of that nonsense! Here's a choice for you."

"So, do you want to join us in conquering all directions to cleanse your past sins, or go back and join the people I captured to build a new homeland for your Turkic people?"
