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

Baird gave an awkward smile. If it were before, Nanxi would never have dared to speak to him like that.

However, times have changed.

Baird asked Nanxi, "Your Majesty Nanxi, why is this?"

Nan Xi smiled faintly and then said, "What else could it be? Because you don't trust him enough. How can you be like this? When he gives you a good idea, you treat him like a god and praise him to the extreme! Now that there's the slightest disturbance, you immediately become suspicious of him."

What is Bairdal trying to explain?

Xiao Ce's voice came from outside the door: "Byrda, what's wrong? Do you have some concerns about me? Our cooperation hasn't even started yet... and you're already showing signs of distrust towards me. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

When Xiao Ce suddenly appeared, Baird's face turned pale with fright.

He quickly stood up, looking embarrassed, and said, "No...no...I...I just watched as those people from Uzbekistan countered all your methods one by one. Besides, we've already invested a lot of money, and now their methods are undoubtedly making all our money go down the drain..."

Xiao Ce walked in, looking at the respectful-looking Bairdda.

He then went straight to the head seat, looking calm and confident.

"If this is all I'm capable of, then how am I supposed to compete with them... These methods of mine are just a test! I want to see their attitude and their capabilities!"

"If even my clumsy methods can't handle it, then I don't need to get involved!"

"Furthermore, I did this to let them know that I've made my move! I wanted to see if they would respond. And it seems they not only responded, but they responded very well..."

"In that case, I can make my move!"

Seeing Xiao Ce's confident demeanor, Bairdda wore a pleased expression.

Nodding, he said, "Your Highness, the King of the Northern Desert, you...you've misunderstood...of course I trust you...I just..."

“Byrdal, this is the first time, and I hope it’s the last. I’m only letting you play with me because Nanxi persuaded me… saying that you are from the same lineage. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let you play with me!” Xiao Ce interrupted.

Nan Xi felt a warmth in his heart when he heard that Xiao Ce was paving the way for him.

Bairdna glanced gratefully at Nanxi, then nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes... Thank you, Empress Nanxi, thank you, Prince Mobei... First of all, I didn't distrust you... Secondly, I will never nag about anything else again..."

Xiao Ce said to Bairdda, "Alright, you can keep nagging if you want... just don't do anything stupid!"

Bairdna bowed, drenched in cold sweat.

He wasn't actually scared at first, but when he saw Xiao Ce coming over...

As Xiao Ce approached, he exuded a natural aura of authority over them...

This made him feel terrified.

Just then, Nanxi said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, King of Mobei, why did you arrive so early..."

Xiao Ce glanced at Bairdda: "I also heard about the counterattack from Wuwei and Linbang... I figured some people would panic... so I came to check it out. I didn't expect to arrive at such a convenient time..."

Seeing this, Bairdda looked extremely embarrassed and was about to speak.

However, Xiao Ce still didn't give him a chance.

"Alright, enough explaining. I've told you everything I needed to say... Now, let's get down to business..."

Seeing that Xiao Ce seemed about to give orders, Bairdda wisely kept quiet.

Nanxi asked Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, do you have any orders?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "Since they're going to take action, we naturally have to make some moves!"

As he spoke, Xiao Ce looked at Bairdda.

"How many troops do you have on your side in total?"

Baird said to Xiao Ce, "Including those who have rejoined the ranks, there are nearly 70,000 people in total..."

Xiao Ce said to Bairdda, "Then have all your men prepare to fight at any time!"

Bairdda's face was full of questions and confusion.

However, because Xiao Ce had just reprimanded him, he didn't dare to utter a single word.

"As ordered!"

At this moment, Nanxi asked Bairdda, "Your Majesty Bairdda, don't you want to ask His Highness the King of the Northern Desert, who are we going to fight?"

Baird replied, "Whoever His Highness the King of the Northern Desert orders me to attack, I will attack..."

Seeing this, Xiao Ce smiled wryly and said to Bairdda, "You've changed quite quickly! But if you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

Bairdha said awkwardly, "Your Highness, I am indeed very curious... but as you can see, I am very short-sighted... I can't understand anything either. So, I'll just listen to you. Wherever you point, we'll go and fight..."

Xiao Ce was fairly satisfied with the answer and said with a smile, "Alright... you say that. You've improved somewhat... I'll have your men prepare for battle! We're going to fight the army of Uzbekistan."

Baird nodded.

Seeing that he seemed hesitant, she asked, "What's wrong? What's bothering you?"

Baird said awkwardly, "If it were your army, it would be fine. Although my troops have been regrouped, they are all terrified. They don't even need to fight; if the other side has a larger number of troops, they will probably scatter like birds and beasts."

Xiao Ce waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I've also found you two allies."

Bairdar naturally knew that Xiao Ce was referring to Dawulieti and Hanati.

"Your Highness, I've received word that those two have reached an agreement with the people of Uzbekistan... They'll definitely betray us..."

Xiao Ce said to Bairdda, "Whether they will betray us depends on what cards we have up our sleeves."

Baird looked at Xiao Ce with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Ce didn't want to explain anymore and told them to go about their business.

Furthermore, he taught Bairdda a set of rhetoric.

After listening to Xiao Ce's explanation, Bairda nodded and hurriedly went to give orders to the army.

Xiao Ce didn't really teach anything; humans are simply profit-driven animals...

They were given some rewards and promises made after their deaths.

Of course, it also mentioned some of the punishments for desertion.

This method is actually very simple, but most people don't know how to use it to achieve the desired effect.

Xiao Ce was good at making empty promises, and he taught this kind of rhetoric to Bairdda.

By copying the model, Bairdda achieved surprisingly good results.

Xiao Ce also went to the place they had arranged to rest.

Just after I got to the room, there was a knock on the door.

Hearing the soft knocking, Xiao Ce initially thought it was Nan Xi.

After Hu Yidao opened the door.

Hu Yidao was taken aback when he saw a young and beautiful woman standing at the door.

Then his mind raced: "Greetings, Your Highness!"

Gulimiza, who was standing at the door, blushed instantly after hearing Hu Yidao's words.

Xiao Ce saw Hu Yidao standing at the door causing trouble and followed his gaze.

I spotted Gulimiza at a glance. Compared to the last time I saw her, she looked travel-worn and somewhat disheveled.

Now that Gulmizza has been carefully dressed up, her already extremely perfect features don't need any embellishment; she is already incredibly beautiful.

Her youth is her greatest asset.

This stunning beauty did indeed catch Xiao Ce's eye for a moment.

Xiao Ce's eyes were practically glued to him.

Hu Yidao, ever the smooth talker, said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, please speak with the Princess. I'll take my leave now..."

As he spoke, Hu Yidao gave Xiao Ce a rather flamboyant wink, which was incredibly irritating...

However, Xiao Ce didn't say much.

In fact, Xiao Ce tacitly agreed to these things. After all, everyone around him treated him with utmost respect, and only Hu Yidao dared to joke with him.

Moreover, his jokes aren't the kind that go too far...

The sense of proportion and scale in this is handled very well!

Xiao Ce smiled and didn't seem to mind: "Alright, go ahead and do your thing."

Seeing the two of them like this, Gulimiza became slightly nervous.

Although she was still a young girl, the Western Regions were quite open-minded.

She also understood the message conveyed between the two men.

She couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.

"What are you standing there for? Are you scared that I'll eat you?" Xiao Ce asked with a smile as he looked at Gulimiza standing at the door.

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Gulimiza waved her hands repeatedly, "Your...Your Highness...no...no...I'm just a little nervous."

Xiao Ce smiled and said to Gulimiza, "Although I'm a few years older than you, we should be about the same age..."

After a pause, Xiao Ce continued, "Also, you came to find me, not the other way around! So, are you planning to keep talking to me like this?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's reminder, Gulimiza smiled awkwardly and shook her head, saying, "Of...of course not..."

As she spoke, Gulimiza walked in respectfully.

Xiao Ce subconsciously said to Gulimiza, "Go and close the door."

When Gulimiza heard Xiao Ce say that, her face immediately turned red. She bit her pink lips and closed the door.

Xiao Ce found Gulimiza's frightened expression quite amusing...

However, he was also curious about what Gulimiza could be doing here.

Seeing that Gulimiza had closed the door, Xiao Ce turned around somewhat awkwardly and nervously, and asked, "What brings you here?"

Gulimiza's mind was blank at this moment, and she was completely dazed.

Perhaps it was because Xiao Ce's aura was too strong, but she didn't even know why she had come.

Gulimiza stood there, looking extremely uncomfortable.

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "If you can't remember, sit down and think about it slowly..."

After saying that, Xiao Ce ignored Gulimiza.

Xiao Ce turned around and began to read some historical materials from the Western Regions.

Gulimiza looked at Xiao Ce and saw that he didn't seem to be faking it; he really did turn around and go back to reading...

She felt much more relaxed after Xiao Ce stopped paying attention to her.

He suddenly remembered why he had come, and blurted out, "Your Highness, I've remembered why I came to see you..."
