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

Before Xiao Ce could speak...

The instructor paused for a moment, then continued, "However, we've said we'll wait a few more days! So, we've come to ask for your opinion. Your Highness, King of the Northern Desert, what is your plan?"

Xiao Ce smiled and nodded: "I was thinking of finding a way to contact Wuwei and Linbang. Now that you're here, it's perfect... It will save me a lot of trouble to go looking for you."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, the instructor asked, "Your Highness, so according to you... you already have a plan."

Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right, can you strike first and kill him!"

The coach was clearly surprised: "Are you trying to kill Diliti?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "Of course...he wants me dead. Then I'll make sure he dies before me, only then can I feel at ease!"

Xiao Ce paused, then stared intently at the instructor and asked, "Can you do it?"

The instructor laughed and said, "Of course, it's not difficult at all! However, there's no point in you killing him."

Xiao Ce looked at the instructor.

Unlike Da Lei, who had no expression and showed no emotional fluctuations, this coach wore his smile on his face.

"Pointless?"

The coach nodded: "This Diliti is actually the same person as Xiao Yang, whom you control."

"You mean Dilit is a puppet?"

Xiao Ce stared wide-eyed at the instructor.

The information he brought truly surprised Xiao Ce.

The coach nodded: "Not bad, but he's better at hiding it than Xiao Yang. Or perhaps it's controlled by the people behind Diliti."

Xiao Ce said to the instructor, "You mean, if I kill him, I'll alert the enemy?"

The coach nodded: "That's right. You know what Wuwei and Lin Bang told you, right?"

Xiao Ce nodded.

The coach said, "We have submitted to them now because we want to see clearly who the real big fish is in Uzbekistan! Therefore, we have made a lot of efforts to gain Diliti's trust!"

"So, your advice is that I shouldn't touch him?" Xiao Ce asked the instructor with a questioning look in his eyes.

The instructor nodded: "Of course! However, you are our true master, and all our actions will be in accordance with your will! If you let me kill him, I guarantee he won't see the sun tomorrow."

"What I just told you, you definitely don't know! If you still want to kill him even after knowing this, we'll do it!"

Xiao Ce nodded: "I know what you mean. But the problem now is that he wants to kill me! If I don't strike first, I'll be the one who dies."

The instructor said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, with us here, we will certainly not let him harm a single hair on your head."

Xiao Ce looked at the instructor and said, "Instructor, since you've come to me, you must have a solution that satisfies both sides."

The instructor listened to Xiao Ce get straight to the point without any beating around the bush.

"Indeed, there is a solution that satisfies both sides. However, it might cause Your Highness some inconvenience."

Xiao Ce said, "You mean, we should turn the tables and pretend to kill Da Lei and the others, thus fulfilling his wish?"

When the instructor saw that Xiao Ce had revealed his plan, he stared at Xiao Ce with wide eyes and said, "Your Highness, you really are no ordinary person...that's right."

Before Xiao Ce could speak, Da Lei said first, "Impossible! That's too dangerous."

The coach said to Da Lei, "Don't you trust us?"

Da Lei said very frankly, "That's right! I don't believe you. I don't know what you said to the prince that changed his opinion of you."

Da Lei then turned to Xiao Ce and said, "Your Highness, if we're not here, and if that Diliti decides to kill us, you won't be able to handle it. We can't entrust your life to someone else. That's what you taught me!"

Xiao Ce smiled and nodded: "Instructor, Da Lei is right. If it were Da Lei and Hu Yidao not by my side, I would really feel insecure. Moreover, you and I are just strangers who met by chance. Although Wu Wei and Lin Bang have already told me, it doesn't mean that I accept all the stories they told me."

"I have my own judgment on whether what you're saying is true or false!"

The coach listened in silence for a moment, but showed no displeasure on his face.

Instead, a look of appreciation flashed across his face: "Your Highness, you are right! I was inconsiderate."

Xiao Ce's eyes sharpened: "Actually, I have a better way! Although it may be a bit risky, this method may be the solution once and for all."

The instructor said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, do you intend to make him our puppet?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "It seems you've also thought of this method."

The instructor smiled and said, "That's right, I did come up with this plan. In fact, it was our initial idea. However, this plan is indeed too unpredictable... If things go wrong even slightly, not only will the Prince's scheme come to nothing, but our Tiger Legion will also likely face a desperate situation!"

"Moreover, people are the most complex beings. He could pretend to agree to our request, and once we reach the Western Regions, he could then reveal the truth to the people behind him... So, this method may seem feasible, but it is actually a dead end."

Seeing the instructor's analysis, Xiao Ce nodded: "According to what you said, it really is!"

After a moment of silence, Xiao Ce said to the instructor, "Then let's do as you say."

Xiao Ce's rapid change in attitude left Da Lei and the coach somewhat bewildered.

Before the coach could speak...

Xiao Ce said, "I did say that a wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall! However, in this situation, your method is indeed the best solution. Between two evils, choose the lesser! I am willing to try and trust you this once!"

Then, Xiao Ce said to Da Lei, "Besides, you don't necessarily have to leave."

Da Lei was puzzled.

The instructor said, "You mean, let them blend in with your guard?"

Xiao Ce nodded approvingly: "As expected of the instructor chosen by Uncle Jiu!" Then he looked at Da Lei: "Da Lei, now you know why he was chosen as the instructor?"

Da Lei finally understood: "Your Highness, if that's the case, I think it's feasible. Besides, we know disguise techniques, so they definitely won't find out."

Xiao Ce nodded to the instructor and said, "It's so easy to talk to smart people. This will work! Let's go with this method then. What do you think, instructor? Is it acceptable?"

The coach nodded: "Of course! However, they need to be more discreet. They shouldn't show themselves unless absolutely necessary."

Da Lei nodded.

Seeing this, the instructor stopped wasting words: "Your Highness, now that you have given your approval, I will make some plans. I will come to find you tomorrow or the day after when I have a suitable opportunity."

Xiao Ce nodded: "By the way, Instructor! Do you know anything about the situation in the Western Regions? I know nothing about them right now."

The instructor smiled and took a piece of paper out of his pocket: "I knew Your Highness would need this. This is some general information about the Western Regions that I've gathered from following Diliti recently. It should be of some help to you!"

Xiao Ce took the rolled-up note from the instructor and said with a smile, "With your help, I believe we will achieve twice the results with half the effort in the Western Regions!"

The instructor bowed and said, "Your Highness, you have exceeded my expectations!"

Seeing the hint of doubt in Xiao Ce's eyes.

The coach continued, "I'm referring to your abilities. You're the only person I've misjudged..."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Ce asked, puzzled.

The instructor said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, you probably don't remember. Actually, we've met a few times. It was the Prince who asked me to assess you."

"My assessment was that you were overly cautious and lacked decisiveness, making you unfit for great responsibilities. I never imagined that you were just pretending; you had been patiently enduring hardship and biding your time, only to make a stunning debut!"

As he spoke, the instructor stared intently at Xiao Ce and said, "If I didn't know you, I would have suspected that you were a completely different person!"

Xiao Ce looked at the instructor staring at him, his gaze seemingly able to see right through him.

He seemed unintentional, but Xiao Ce could feel the burning intensity in his eyes.

Xiao Ce met his gaze head-on without flinching, saying, "I'm a different person now. I'm no longer Xiao Ce!"
