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

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, a hint of emotion flashed in Ling Chang's eyes.

Of course, a hint of doubt also flashed in his eyes.

Although she hid it well, it naturally couldn't escape Xiao Ce's eyes.

Xiao Ce said to Ling Chang, "What? You don't believe me?"

Ling Chang shook her head and said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness didn't! Of course I don't disbelieve you... I believe you... I believe you!"

Xiao Ce smiled at Ling Chang and then said, "Your Empress is a smart woman, and I have always believed that it is easy to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to provide charcoal in the snow. If I help you, your entire Shanshan Kingdom will be grateful to me."

"And in Uzbekistan, even the instructor, Wuwei, and Linbang all control the military! If I go to Uzbekistan, the entire country will see me as an outsider... No matter what, they will never be close to me!"

Ling Chang's expression softened considerably after hearing Xiao Ce's explanation.

Xiao Ce continued, "Not only that, I'm not even sure if those three people are with me anymore!"

Ling Chang looked at Xiao Ce with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Ce then recounted what happened at the Nushan Pass, including how their information had been leaked.

Ling Chang's face turned ugly upon hearing Xiao Ce's words: "Then, Your Highness, what about those divine weapons and artifacts you promised us before?"

Xiao Ce nodded to Ling Chang: "That's right... those divine weapons and artifacts can't get through... at least, by the time I figured out what was going on."

Ling Chang looked slightly worried: "After you transport it here, will it be...?"

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "So, didn't I tell you? Everything happens for a reason! Lian Zhan, whom I met in Nufeng City, will take good care of our belongings!"

Hu Yidao looked at Xiao Ce with some surprise, wondering why Xiao Ce would tell Ling Chang.

However, since Xiao Ce didn't speak, he didn't interrupt.

Ling Chang was a clever woman, and she said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, you don't suspect me of being a mole, do you? That's why you deliberately told me this news, right?"

Xiao Ce saw that Ling Chang had guessed his thoughts, and smiled, naturally refusing to admit it: "Then you'd better keep my word. If those divine weapons encounter danger, the first person I'll naturally turn to is you!"

Ling Chang said with great confidence, "Your Highness, I am confident in this. If you feel there is a problem, it must be on your side!"

Seeing this, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Alright! That's the best way!"

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ce asked Ling Chang, "By the way, is there any problem with Otog?"

Ling Chang shook her head: "I don't know either. Weren't the people you arranged for Your Highness to be there in Etuoke?"

Xiao Ce nodded and said to Ling Chang, "Alright! Then you'll be personally overseeing the transformation of Sanguandao City into a commercial city."

When Ling Chang saw Xiao Ce change the subject, she immediately became nervous, thinking that she had not done a good job.

Although she did exactly as Xiao Ce instructed... he still felt that he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

She respectfully asked Xiao Ce, "Yes, Your Highness, I have done my best to follow your instructions... There are problems, but I..."

Seeing Ling Chang begin to reflect on her actions, Xiao Ce simply said, "I want to praise you... When I came back, I went to see the expanded areas... You've done a very good job. Nothing is perfect! Just keep doing it this way."

"If you just follow my instructions and develop this commercial city, it will bring you returns that exceed your expectations!"

Ling Chang nodded and looked at Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce naturally noticed the confusion in Ling Chang's expression: "You must be worried about how he makes a profit, right?"

Ling Chang nodded.

Xiao Ce glanced at the sky and said to Ling Chang, "It's getting late... You'll find out another day!"

Ling Chang looked at Xiao Ce's hurried appearance and asked, "I wonder, does Your Highness have anything else to do?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Ling Chang and said, "I'm going to find Etuoke... I have some things to ask him!"

Seeing this, Ling Chang did not let Xiao Ce linger any longer.

As they were talking, Xiao Ce went directly to find Otog.

The methods used by the Xie Zhi sect to create "ghost-fearing" techniques may seem the same, but they are extremely effective.

They used the same methods on Xiao Yang before, and now they're using them on Etuoke.

It really was a piece of cake!

They didn't just resort to torture; instead, after taming them, they gave them the life they wanted.

Just like Otog today, he still has a separate place to live.

Let him continue his life of extravagance and debauchery.

However, Xiao Ce would never find decent wives for those girls.

They only hire women of the night.

Upon arriving at the entrance, the members of the Ghostly Sorrow organization showed Xiao Ce utmost respect.

Seeing that he didn't see Xie Zhi's apprentice, Xiao Ce asked the leader, "Where is your captain?"

The leader, nicknamed "Ghost Fear," bowed to Xiao Ce and said, "Your Highness, the captain has been invited away by the seasonal girls for a counter-interrogation and a lesson in interrogation!"

Only after hearing this did Xiao Ce remember. This was also an arrangement he made after he left.

Xiao Ce patted his head; his head was filled with too many things… why was his memory so bad?

"how are things?"

The leader, nicknamed "Ghost Fear," bowed and replied, "Your Highness, everything is fine! We received several letters from Uzbekistan, which we have all read, including Otog's own reply! They are all without problems!"

Upon hearing the words of the "Ghost's Sorrow" at the door, Xiao Ce quickly replied, "Oh? You see his letter? He doesn't know about it, does he?!"

'Ghost's Sorrow' nodded: "That's right...he doesn't know!"

Xiao Ce then said to 'Ghost's Sorrow', "Alright, then you tell me what to do."

"Ghost's Sorrow" explained it in detail in a low voice, and Xiao Ce nodded sharply.

Without saying anything more, he said, "Alright! Take me inside!"

'Ghost's Sorrow' nodded respectfully.

Once inside, I heard a chorus of soft, melodious voices.

In a garden, a dozen scantily clad, voluptuous women from the Western Regions were playing hide-and-seek with Otog.

"Sir, come and arrest me!"

Otok, his face flushed and reeking of alcohol, wearing an eye mask, listened to the affected voices of the prostitutes and smiled, "Beauties, I've arrived..."

After embracing a beautiful woman, Otog's hands became quite restless...

They hugged and embraced each other, having a wonderful time.

"Hehe, got you? You'll have to keep me company from now on..."

As Etok spoke, he took off his blindfold and spoke excitedly, but halfway through his sentence, he noticed that the women beside him had all knelt down.

He looked in the direction they were looking and then looked at Xiao Ce.

His face turned deathly pale, and he knelt on the ground with a thud: "Greetings, Your Highness, King of the Northern Desert! I was unaware of your arrival and failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Looking at Etuoke, Xiao Ce saw that he was a typical Western Region person, and his kneeling posture was much more standard than that of the people of Xiao Kingdom!
