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

Lou Yao looked at Xiao Yang and said, "I am Miss Lou Yao's maid, that's why I kept referring to her as Lou Yao..."

Xiao Yang stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

"Back then, to avoid being wanted, Miss and I swapped clothes and began our escape. Later, I fled to the Western Regions, where the old emperor of the Kingdom of Uz took a liking to me. I thought this was an opportunity, so I pretended to use Miss's identity."

"Later, after I settled down in Uzbekistan, I kept looking for Miss... but I never heard from her. After making inquiries, I heard that Miss and her child had died of illness while on the run. Later, an old couple buried them."

"And the man that the young lady loved so deeply, the man who gave up the lives of both young ladies, didn't even seek revenge for them, didn't go after that dog of an emperor... From then on, I knew! There isn't a single good man."

"I also swore an oath to avenge my mistress, to kill King Xiao Dingshan of Zhen, and that dog Emperor Xiao Dingbang! So, I used every trick in the book to make that old king of the Western Regions inseparable from me..."

"It has developed to the point where it is now. Later, after I felt that I had the strength and took control of the country of Uzbekistan, I tried to contact Xiao Dingshan and fabricated the news that Miss Lou Yao was still alive, and asked Xiao Dingshan for help."

"Xiao Dingshan fell for it immediately... Everything went according to my plan, and I even killed Xiao Dingshan. Originally, I could have used Xiao Dingshan's army to strengthen my own power and thus unify the Western Regions..."

"What a pity... Xiao Ce suddenly appeared out of nowhere... ruining my great plan!"

At this point, the fake Lou Yao revealed a hint of resentment.

"So, I want him dead... So, the enemy of my enemy is my friend! I've told you this secret... Isn't that enough to show my sincerity?"

Xiao Yang's expression was indeed quite interesting as he listened to this secret.

However, he still harbored some apprehension.

"What are you struggling with?" Fake Lou Yao asked Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang's face was grim as he said, "Do you know Xiao Ce's methods? He's extremely ruthless. If we fail, I'll surely die..."

Fake Lou Yao said to Xiao Yang, "You're right... but you should also understand what it means to be rich by taking risks... Besides, I've already analyzed the current situation with you. Unless he can escape on wings, he has absolutely no chance of winning..."

Seeing that Xiao Yang was still hesitating.

Fake Lou Yao said to Xiao Yang, "Of course, if you want to be manipulated by him for the rest of your life, to be his dog, then you don't need to listen to me... Just do as you please, pretend I was never here..."

"However, you must be careful, because it's a matter of one thought leading to heaven or hell..."

It would be a lie for Xiao Yang to say he wouldn't waver, but it would also be a lie to say he wasn't afraid...

After a moment of silence, he said to the fake Lou Yao, "You rest here for a while and let me think it over... I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer before tomorrow."

After hearing Xiao Yang's words, the fake Lou Yao smiled and said, "Okay, I can wait for you!"

As she spoke, the fake Lou Yao, led by some people, went to rest on the side.

Seeing Xiao Yang's hesitant expression, Guo Kai asked, "Your Highness, what's your decision?"

Seeing Guo Kai say this, Xiao Yang asked Guo Kai, "Guo Kai, what is your relationship with her?"

Guo Kai shook his head and said to Xiao Yang, "Your Highness, I have no connection with her. However, she has my entire family under her control and asked me to make the introduction, which is why I came!"

Xiao Yang was shocked: "Your whole family has been taken hostage by him? Why didn't you say so before?"

Guo Kai looked embarrassed: "Your Highness, Second Prince, you didn't even ask..."

Xiao Yang listened with some alarm and said, "Then, kid, if they asked you to rebel against me... to kill me... wouldn't you do it too?"

Guo Kai smiled faintly when he heard Xiao Yang say this, and then said, "Your Highness, you underestimate me too much... They asked me to do this, and it won't harm you or the Xiao Kingdom, so I did it."

"If they were to use my family's lives to do something to harm you or the country, I would not do it! I have a scale in my heart; I know what I should and shouldn't do... I know what I was before I met you."

"If they killed my whole family, I will seek revenge! But I will not do anything to betray you, I will not!"

After listening to Guo Kai's words, Xiao Yang asked thoughtfully, "Then do you think I should listen to her?"

Guo Kai shook his head and said, "Your Highness, I cannot make this decision for you! However, whatever decision you make, I will support you!"

Xiao Yang paced around for a while and then noticed the tall Fan Gang Ashina standing there dumbfounded.

Xiao Yang then turned to Fan Gang Ashina and asked, "Fang Gang, what do you say?"

Fan Gang Ashina glanced at Xiao Yang: "I don't know! I only know that Xiao Ce has never lost!"

Fan Gang Ashina's simple and sincere words were like a thunderbolt, instantly enlightening Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang said to Guo Kai, "Let's go find that fake Lou Yao."

After listening to Xiao Yang's words, Guo Kai asked him somewhat obligingly, "Your Highness, Second Prince, have you already made your decision?"

Xiao Yang nodded to Guo Kai: "Not bad! Do we still need to think about this?"

...

At this moment, the fake Lou Yao was sitting calmly in the room.

A palace attendant who had followed them asked Lou Yao with some concern, "Your Majesty, are you sure we're not leaving? I have a feeling that Xiao Yang is terrified of Xiao Ce to the core..."

Fake Lou Yao smiled faintly, then said, "Being afraid is useless... People are most unable to control their desires and greed! You only saw that he was afraid of Xiao Ce, but did you see the hatred he harbored for Xiao Ce?"

The palace maid nodded: "That's true. I always felt that his resentment was almost reaching the sky!"

Fake Lou Yao smiled and said, "That's right... As long as there's resentment, we have ways to deal with them. You know how human nature is."

Before the palace servant could speak, the fake Lou Yao continued, "Besides, this was something my benefactor taught me. When has anything ever gone wrong with what my benefactor instructed us to do?"

A palace attendant nodded: "Not bad..."

Fake Lou Yao said with a smug expression, "Just wait...it won't be long before we have good news."

Coincidentally.

No sooner had the fake Lou Yao finished speaking than the door to their room was suddenly pushed open with a bang...

"Who goes there..." Just as the fake Lou Yao was about to explode, she realized that the person who came was none other than Xiao Yang.

She quickly suppressed her emotions, then smiled at Xiao Yang and said, "Your Highness, I knew it, I hadn't misjudged you... I knew you were a smart man. You've made your decision, haven't you? Much faster than I expected!"

Xiao Yang smiled and said, "That's right, I have indeed made up my mind... Actually, I should have made up my mind just now! I shouldn't have hesitated."

The fake Lou Yao smiled even more broadly: "It's not too late now..."

He didn't speak, but Xiao Yang waved his hand, and a large number of soldiers poured in from outside.

These soldiers were all fully armed.

They looked at the fake Lou Yao with wary expressions and surrounded her.

The fake Lou Yao, who had been all smiles, suddenly looked disgusted.

"What...what are you doing? What do you want to do?"

Xiao Yang sneered and said, "I have made my decision, and I will present you as a great gift to my imperial brother!"

"What! Xiao Yang, are you crazy? Did you just ignore everything I said?"

Xiao Yang smiled and said, "It's because of what you said that I listened to you... Damn it... I was almost fooled by you."

As he spoke, Xiao Yang took a few steps forward and slapped the fake Lou Yao across the face.

"Damn it! You little brat, what abilities do you have? You went against my imperial brother and lost like this... Now you want to drag me down with you... Do you really think I'm an idiot?"

A palace servant standing next to the fake Lou Yao tried to step forward to protect her, saying, "How dare you..."

Xiao Yang raised his hand.

Bang.

One shot was all it took.

It was only when the fake Lou Yao witnessed this scene that she realized the problem.

"I told you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... I..."

Xiao Yang directly held the still-smoking flintlock pistol to the forehead of the fake Lou Yao.

"Damn it! Shut up!"

Upon seeing this, the fake Lou Yao immediately shut her mouth obediently.

"I almost got fooled by you... thank goodness Fan Gang Ashina reminded me."

“My royal brother has never lost a game. Every time his enemies feel smug and think they have victory in their grasp, that is when they are about to die.”

"Guo Kai is right. A person needs to know their own worth! I, Xiao Yang, was previously overrated by my father, which made me forget who I really was..."

"Compared to my imperial brother, I am nothing but a fart!"

"And let me tell you clearly, I just love being a dog."

"Woof woof woof! I'm a dog now, and I have an army loyal to me. My royal brother trusts me, entrusting me with the most important authority: transporting weapons and ammunition! What is this? This is trust!"

"Damn it! I almost got you stuck in a ditch! I'm sticking with my brother for life! You know that? Trying to sow discord with me won't work!"

Xiao Yang pressed the flintlock pistol against the fake Lou Yao's forehead, then put it away after speaking...

Of course, Xiao Yang also didn't give the fake Lou Yao a chance to speak!

"Tie her up and gag her! Damn it, none of you can listen to her bewitching... This bitch really knows how to bewitch people!"

As he spoke, Xiao Yang turned to Guo Kai: "Guo Kai, send your most elite troops to deliver this to my imperial brother tonight..."

"Remember, keep it a secret."

Guo Kai nodded, looking at Xiao Yang with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

Seeing this, Xiao Yang said to Guo Kai, "Guo Kai, do you think your Second Prince is especially handsome?"

Guo Kai smiled and nodded: "Indeed, Second Prince, I seem to see a trace of the Northern Desert King in you!"

Xiao Yang couldn't stop smiling when he heard Guo Kai say that.

"Hahaha, you rascal, you say you're bad with words? How are you bad with words!"

Amidst their banter, Xiao Yang instructed Guo Kai to deliver the fake Lou Yao.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yang also attached a handwritten letter.

After they left, Xiao Yang still looked at the big, simple-minded Fan Gang Ashina who was protecting him with a hint of gratitude.

“Fangang, do you know? I was indeed tempted just now, but one sentence you said brought me back to reality… that is, my elder brother, who has never lost since entering the mortal world…”

"I asked myself if it was possible to keep him here... I quickly came to the answer in my heart, which was no. So, I made a decision right away... that is, to stand firmly on the side of my imperial brother."

Xiao Yang said to the big, clumsy Fan Gang Ashina beside him.

Fan Gang Ashina stood there dumbfounded, offering no response.

Xiao Yang knew that he was sleeping standing up again.

This is the skill of Fan Gang Ashina; he can sleep standing up with his eyes open.

And strangely enough, when he was sleeping, no amount of serious talking could wake him up.

However, whenever Xiao Yang might encounter danger, he will be the first to wake up.

That's his ability.

Xiao Yang tested this many times, and Fan Gang Ashina did indeed save him many times.

Several times, he used his body to block other people's sneak attacks.

Based on this alone, Xiao Yang cannot betray Xiao Ce.

Because this 'treasure' was given to Xiao Yang by Xiao Ce.

...

At this moment, the fake Lou Yao, who was being secretly transported, was suffering terribly.

She hadn't expected this outcome.

For Xiao Yang, Xiao Ce had never failed.

However, for the fake Lou Yao, his benefactor had never failed.

However, when facing Xiao Ce, it seemed that the curse was broken.

In this one encounter, his benefactor has suffered a crushing defeat.

She was even arrested.

Although she was unwilling to accept it, it was indeed true.

She even hoped that her benefactor would come to his rescue at a crucial moment!

However, this situation did not occur, proving that she had been overthinking it.

She was packed in a box and jostled all the way, and the people who transported her gave her neither food nor water.
