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

Before Wuwei could answer, the instructor continued, "It's no use me trusting you now! The Queen Mother no longer trusts you."

Wu Wei's expression was not good. He asked the instructor, "So, you were sent by the Queen Mother to arrest me?"

The coach nodded.

Wuwei said, "Didn't you go and explain it to us?"

The instructor looked at Wuwei with distrust in his eyes.

Lin Bang said with slight displeasure, "What's with that look? Do you think we don't want to win? Our opponent is Xiao Ce! Who can beat Xiao Ce? Go try and see... They possess..."

The coach, his face grim, said to the two men, "Gentlemen, you are both veterans, you should understand the principle of 'the victor is king, the loser is villain'... You lost, and that's it! Now go with the Queen Mother to explain."

"Because of your crushing defeat, the Queen Mother is furious. Fortunately, I was there, and she didn't do anything we didn't want to see... If you want an explanation, go find the Queen Mother."

Wuwei said, "What about this side? After they rest and regroup, they might launch another attack."

The instructor said to Wuwei, "This is not something you or I should worry about. It was recommended by the Western Region people and Diliti of Uzbekistan that Baihelamu was previously in charge of border defense."

"Baihelamu? That young war god hailed as the Western Regions? He's all show and no substance... He..."

Before Wuwei could finish speaking, the instructor interrupted, "General Wuwei, aren't you getting a little too into your role... Were you sent here to protect the safety of the Western Regions people? Or to help them expand their territory? The more badly Baihelamu is defeated, the more it will prove your importance and that what you're saying is true!"

Wuwei, reminded by the instructor, immediately sobered up: "Yes! Yes! You're right, I'll follow you..."

Lin Bang said to the instructor, "Instructor, you're right... We'll follow you. Maybe when we return to the capital of Uzbekistan, we won't even need to explain ourselves."

The coach nodded with lingering fear and said, "I hope so."

Seeing the instructor's expression, the two quickly said, "Do you think Baihelamu can withstand Xiao Ce's attack? Don't worry, it's absolutely impossible... Xiao Ce gave those people extremely powerful weapons... With the enhancement of those weapons, even their ordinary soldiers are like war gods."

"Moreover, it seems that with Xiao Ce's help, the four countries of Khotan, Shule, Gaochang, and Shanshan are very likely to have been unified! We are also investigating and finding out that they are joining forces, seemingly preparing for a decisive battle."

"In a war like this, let alone Baihamu, even if the dead King of Zhen were to rise from the dead and fight, he wouldn't be a match!"

Listening to the two men's conversation, the instructor said, "It's not that I'm afraid of him coming to fight... but rather, I understand Xiao Ce. He's very perceptive of human nature... If he finds out that you've been transferred back and that you're being suspected... he might deliberately avoid fighting, or even deliberately lose..."

The instructor's words sent a chill down the spines of Wuwei and Linbang.

They really hadn't thought of or considered this aspect.

But after the coach said that, it's clear that it's very possible!

This aligns with Xiao Ce's methods.

"Then what should we do?" Wuwei asked.

The coach gave a wry smile: "Leave it to fate... Let's go now. On the way back, you can think carefully about how to explain this."

Wuwei asked the instructor, "Instructor, have you trained any assassins?"

The instructor looked at Wuwei with a puzzled expression.

"Of course... but given the limited time, they can't possibly be as professional as those assassins. However, compared to ordinary soldiers, they're already very capable... What's wrong? Do you want to use them for assassinations?"

Wuwei shook his head: "I hope you can arrange for some people to infiltrate their territory and steal some weapons and explosive wooden sticks..."

"With these things, I believe the First Lady will trust us..."

The instructor asked in confusion, "Explosive wooden sticks? And...weapons?"

Wuwei nodded and described the events in his mind again.

The coach agreed after hearing the explanation.

They were then taken away.

As they stepped out of their tents, a young man who looked like a general and was not yet thirty years old approached them.

This person was Baihelamu.

He rode a tall, magnificent horse, looking down at Wuwei and Linbang with a superior expression.

"You two pieces of trash have wasted so many Uzbek lives... Go back, and someone will come to judge you!"

"I will make sure you get back the face you've lost."

...

Baihelamu kept speaking to Wuwei and Linbang.

However, Wu Wei and Lin Bang just smiled faintly and said nothing.

They were just following the coach.

Their disregard angered Baihelamu, who was about to take action.

The coach stopped him.

Although Baihelamu looked down on Wuwei and Linbang, he was still very wary of this unassuming but mysterious instructor.

"Watch how I take back the lands you have lost."

Baihelamu remained very confident.

It must be said that he was able to earn the title of 'God of War' in the Western Regions at such a young age.

It wasn't just a show; after he arrived, he rectified military discipline, followed by a redistribution and a series of reforms.

...

After Baihelamu arrived.

Xiao Ce found out immediately, just as the instructor had feared.

Xiao Ce could tell at a glance that Wu Wei and Lin Bang were facing a crisis of trust.

So Xiao Ce decided to add fuel to the fire.

Then, they were ordered to lead the prisoners to organize several feint attacks.

These feints all appeared to be a grand and imposing attack, but then they seemed to be routed and forced to flee.

It must be said that Baird and the others acted very convincingly.

After Baihelam repelled them for the third time, his confidence had swelled to the extreme.

In his eyes, Baird and his group were nothing but a rabble...

With just a little trickery, he could easily beat them to a pulp.

He then relayed the results of the battle to Diliti, requesting Diliti's permission to go out and attack them.

He went directly to unify those four kingdoms and then made an unparalleled contribution.

...

This was because the message was sent by carrier pigeon.

So they arrived in the capital of Uzbekistan before they did.

After arriving at the capital of Uzbekistan.

After reading the letter, Diliti muttered to himself, "Indeed, those who are not of our kind are sure to have different hearts."

With that, he took the letter and went to find the First Lady.

When the First Lady saw Dilit's expression, she said, "Diliti, judging from your appearance, you must have some good news."

Diliti respectfully addressed the Queen Mother, saying, "Your Majesty, you are right... I do indeed have good news... it comes from the front lines."

He then handed the letter to the First Lady.

After reading the letter for a while, the First Lady, though it was good news, was relieved.

However, her expression was not pleasant.

Diliti looked at the First Lady, and as he read the letter, his face grew darker and darker...

His heart was trembling, and he even doubted his own eyes, wondering if he had seen something wrong.

"Mother...Mother...why aren't you smiling...did I take the wrong letter...?"

Hearing Diliti's trembling words, the First Lady put down the letter.

"No...you didn't take the wrong one. Diliti, you did a great job. The person you recommended was also excellent! I misjudged him..."

The First Lady's words made Diliti immediately understand why her expression was so unpleasant.

Because Wuwei and Linbang were promoted by the First Lady herself, despite opposition from others.

As a result, they didn't win many battles.

They suffered such a crushing defeat, initially thinking it was because their opponent was too strong.

When they changed their manager, they won a series of great victories.

This shows that he misjudged the situation...

Diliti cautiously offered words of comfort: "Mother, it's not really your fault... They were all renowned generals, capable of winning battles before... They must have been bribed or won over by the enemy... Their abilities are not in question!"

As he spoke, he noticed that the First Lady's expression was becoming increasingly unpleasant.

He simply stopped talking.

He swallowed hard and stood awkwardly to the side.

The Queen Mother said to Diliti, "You're right...they've definitely been bribed."

"Alright, Dilti, I've noted down your recommendation of Baihelamu. You may leave now."

Diliti's face immediately lit up with a smile, like a chrysanthemum, and he nodded hurriedly.

“Mother, that’s not what I meant. I don’t need any credit, Mother. You’ve already given me a position above all others… I dare not covet anything more… It is my honor to serve you and share your burdens.”

Diliti licked it for a while.

Upon hearing this, the First Lady waved her hand impatiently: "Alright... I understand... You can leave now that you're alright."

Seeing this, Diliti smiled awkwardly: "Mother...then I'll take my leave."

Diliti had just taken a few steps back when he suddenly remembered something and quickly stopped.

"Your Majesty, Baihelamu has requested permission to attack them... I wonder if we can send troops to attack?"

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment: "Tell him not to rush, to guard the border! Wait for the right opportunity, and absolutely do not pursue them!"

Diliti was puzzled, but seeing the First Lady's unpleasant expression, he realized she seemed to be in a bad mood.

So, he didn't say anything and left.

It was quite a coincidence that Diliti saw it at the door when he left.

The instructor led Wuwei and Linbang inside.

Diliti wanted to go forward and speak, but after taking two steps, he stopped.

After all, it's more appropriate to keep your distance from them at this time!

...

The instructor looked at Dilit's appearance and said to Wuwei and Linbang behind him as he walked.

“In the time we’ve been here, a lot can happen at the border. Judging from Diliti’s behavior just now, it’s clear that news has come from the border that is favorable to him… It seems that what we suspected and feared may very well have come true.”

Wuwei and Linbang nodded, though they were not in a good mood.

The original plan was for the instructor to send someone to infiltrate their territory and find some flintlock pistols and wooden grenades.

As a result, after the instructor sent people over, they all disappeared without a trace, as if they had vanished into thin air.

Therefore, they found absolutely no useful information.

Wu Wei gave a bitter smile: "The worst outcome would be to prove our innocence with our lives... I just hope we haven't caused any trouble!"

Lin Bang said with a grim expression, "Did we really make a mistake...? With King Xiao Ce of the Northern Desert being so capable, we might as well go and tell him everything. Maybe he can come up with a better solution."

Wuwei's eyes lit up slightly as he listened: "You're right! How come we..."

Before the two could finish speaking, the instructor interrupted, "Don't think about anything else right now. In this situation, even if Xiao Ce had extraordinary abilities, he would be helpless..."

"You should think about how to get through this. You know, if he sentences you to death... I'll have no choice but to do as she says!"

After listening to the instructor's words, Wuwei smiled and nodded, saying, "It's alright... As long as they're unharmed, if we die, we die..."

Lin Bang nodded: "That's right... living is just too stifling... dying might not be such a bad thing..."

The coach looked at the two of them, the words on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't continue...

Wuwei took a few steps and said to the instructor, "Have you made any discoveries here?"

When asked by Wu Wei, the instructor shook his head somewhat awkwardly: "I didn't find anything... I didn't have a chance to investigate anything."

Upon hearing the instructor's words, Wuwei and Linbang couldn't help but show disappointment in their eyes...

As they spoke, they arrived outside the residence of the First Lady.

They all fell silent without prior agreement.

After the instructor stepped forward, there was a palace servant at the door.

He then informed the palace servant.

A short while later, a palace attendant said to the instructor, "Instructor, Her Majesty the Queen Mother requests your presence..."

The coach bowed slightly.

The three of them were still a little uneasy after they went inside.

They weren't worried about their own safety; these people had long since disregarded life and death...

After they went inside, they saw that the First Lady's face was ashen.

At that moment, the three men bowed to the First Lady.

The First Lady looked at the bowing figures of the group and said calmly, "Wuwei, Linbang, do you know why I asked you to come back?"

Upon seeing this, Wuwei and Linbang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, we suffered a crushing defeat at the border... You will surely punish us."

"Mother, please allow us to explain this to you before we go any further."
