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

Xiao Ce was not surprised at all.

“You should know that you were sold out because of family feuds. Since you say that the Illuminati is everywhere... it is very likely that the Targaryen family in your Britain is also connected with the Illuminati.”

"If I'm bribed by the Illuminati, I'll naturally deal with you according to their wishes. At that point, forget about revenge; you'll probably struggle to even protect yourself!"

Seeing Xiao Ce's analysis, Boudica nodded, then smiled and said, "That's right... Your Highness, because I still need you to help me take revenge... Therefore, I especially don't want you to be destroyed..."

Boudica paused for a moment, then said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, I'm not afraid to admit it... but without your help... I truly have no chance of revenge!"

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Don't worry. I don't have many other merits, but I keep my promises! The suffering you've endured, I will make sure you repay it a hundredfold, a thousandfold..."

Boudica said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, I believe in you too."

As she spoke, Boudica's eyes grew increasingly eager, and she wrapped her arms around Xiao Ce's neck.

Xiao Ce looked at Boudica and said, "This is in a carriage."

Boudica bit her lip lightly: "Your Highness, didn't you say before that you liked being in the carriage the most?"

...

Early the next morning.

As soon as Xiao Ce got off the carriage, he peeked out and looked at the scenery.

It should still be in India.

Xiao Ce went downstairs to relieve himself.

"Your Majesty!"

Just as Xiao Ce was releasing the water, a sound suddenly came from behind him.

Upon hearing this voice, Xiao Ce was startled.

I almost peed on my hand.

The voice sounded familiar, and Xiao Ce turned his head.

His guess was correct; it was indeed Hu Yidao.

Xiao Ce shuddered and then said, "You little brat, aren't you afraid of scaring me to death... When did you get here?"

Hu Yidao walked up to Xiao Ce with a wicked grin: "Your Highness, I arrived last night..."

As he spoke, Hu Yidao said to Xiao Ce in a cheeky tone, "Your Highness, your virility is truly as good as ever!"

Xiao Ce naturally knew what Hu Yidao was referring to; it was definitely not what he thought.

But Naboudica...

cough cough...

Xiao Ce coughed lightly a few times, then asked Hu Yidao, "Have you had breakfast?"

Hu Yidao shook his head: "Isn't this what I planned to do with Your Highness? Da Lei has already made preparations. Let's eat in my carriage. The army is about to set off."

Xiao Ce nodded and got into Hu Yidao's car.

He didn't say anything else and went straight to the point.

"How are things here? Are you doing alright?"

Hu Yidao nodded: "Your Highness, everything went very smoothly. It's mainly because I've really learned a lot by being by your side... what I learned there is a piece of cake to deal with them here... a breeze..."

Then Hu Yidao began to report on his work.

Hu Yidao's situation went very smoothly, largely because the people of high-ranking families here simply didn't pay any attention to them.

So they established a new country here, but they didn't pay any attention to it.

With the support of the Turkic state, their new India declared that everyone was equal.

Everything is a new system, everything has a new look.

It was difficult to change their lifestyle at first, but with divine guidance, these people from India all showed utmost piety.

Therefore, it is very easy to manage.

Under Hu Yidao's manipulation, the previous Sanjay had become a god-like figure.

Therefore, Sanjay did not come this time.

"Have you formed your own army yet?!"

Hu Yidao nodded: "That's right. While we were still preaching our doctrines, many people from lower castes found out and secretly joined us... We now have an army of 200,000, though our combat strength is still not very good."

"What about the weapons?" Xiao Ce asked.

Hu Yidao said to Xiao Ce, "We've already equipped ourselves with weapons... Although they're homemade guns and cannons, they're enough, more than enough... Since Princess Boudica told us to, we haven't gone any further."

"India is now essentially divided in two. Our side is thriving, while on the other side, the higher castes are suffering from soaring prices due to a lack of lower caste laborers providing basic necessities, and they're attracting more and more people. Luckily, they have those foreigners keeping things under control; otherwise, the two castes would be fighting each other..."

Xiao Ce nodded: "There's no need to rush now. Let things settle down. The best way to wage war is to subdue the enemy without fighting..."

Hu Yidao nodded repeatedly.

Xiao Ce asked in surprise, "Why are you nodding so fast? Did you understand what I said?"

Hu Yidao nodded with a smile: "Of course I understand! Simply put, if you can use words to trick someone into coming, don't resort to violence. It's called... if you can talk your way out, try not to fight..."

Xiao Ce listened to Hu Yidao's words and nodded with a smile: "Haha, the words may be rough, but the meaning is sound! You're quite something, kid..."

Hu Yidao took a book out of his pocket.

The book is titled "Xiao Ce's Art of War".

Xiao Ce stared at what he had written, momentarily stunned, and then asked, "This book? Who wrote it?"

He was almost in a daze...

Although he did indeed replicate Sun Tzu's Art of War.

However, he didn't shamelessly take other people's things for himself.

Hu Yidao chuckled and said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, you wrote this? I know this book by heart..."

"But, it's clearly your book, so why are you writing about Sun Tzu's Art of War...? Such a great military treatise, how did it become Sun Tzu's..."

"This book is great in every way. It's just the title that's bad: *The Art of War*. While some of the strategies in it are indeed a bit...unconventional...and a bit despicable, war is about deception! That's not what Sun Tzu meant..."

"I've taken the liberty of naming it after Your Highness; it's clearly a better choice..."

Xiao Ce was speechless after hearing Hu Yidao's explanation.

This 'grandson' is not that 'grandson'.

Xiao Ce first explained to Hu Yidao that this grandson wasn't the grandson he understood...

Moreover, this book was indeed not written by him; he simply copied it.

After listening, Hu Yidao's eyes widened as he asked Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, where is this grandson you mentioned? Let's go and invite him over... This guy is really something else. His fighting style is absolutely phenomenal..."

Xiao Ce couldn't explain it, so he could only say that this grandson didn't come from this time and space.

Hu Yidao listened, nodded thoughtfully, and muttered to himself, "I knew it. How could someone so powerful be a mortal? He must be a god."

As he spoke, Hu Yidao looked at Xiao Ce with an expression of admiration and said, "Your Highness, since you can know immortals, you must be an immortal yourself."

Before Xiao Ce could refuse, she said, "You're not a god, but you're still a divine being."

Xiao Ce was truly at a loss when faced with Hu Yidao's wild and unfounded speculations...

They then stopped talking about it and quickly changed the subject.

Hearing Xiao Ce say this, Hu Yidao became even more certain that Xiao Ce was a god.

“You all need to settle down now! You need to gradually change the mindset of the people here and get them to believe in the law... Once they have completed the transformation from believing in God to believing in the law.”

Hu Yidao nodded: "Your Highness, I know... but these people from Tianzhu are too damn superstitious... changing their minds is difficult... too difficult... but don't worry, I will find a way."

Xiao Ce said to Hu Yidao, "Actually, it's not difficult. For example, if a god says that people cannot kill, wouldn't the people do as he says?"

Hu Yidao's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood. He said to Xiao Ce, "I understand... I understand... How come I didn't think of that... Your Highness, your mind is truly brilliant. You mean, let Sangjie designate what can and cannot be done. Call it 'Divine Law'... and everyone will follow suit. Then we can call the execution team the 'Divine Punishment Team' or something like that..."

Xiao Ce nodded approvingly; this Hu Yidao was indeed clever.

"Good job, smart! You understand immediately..."

Hu Yidao scratched his head a little embarrassed when Xiao Ce praised him so highly.

Xiao Ce then said to Hu Yidao, "Hu Yidao, you guys need to settle down, settle down, accumulate experience! It won't be long before I need your help. You should know that your Tianzhu Kingdom is very important."

"As you can see, in terms of territory, their territory is no smaller than Xiao's. Their population is also no less... If we can firmly control them... then it will be a great help to me."

Hu Yidao nodded: "Your Highness, don't worry. That Sangjie is fairly obedient."

Xiao Ce nodded: "I will have the Golden Society contact you later. As long as we control their economic lifeline, even if Sanjay has any ideas, he won't be able to cause any trouble..."

Hu Yidao nodded: "That's great..."

As he spoke, Hu Yidao couldn't help but sigh, "Your Highness, I really never expected that I would be able to work as a civil official one day."

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Obviously, you did better. Your focus on martial arts has clearly wasted your talent..."

When Hu Yidao heard Xiao Ce say this, his old face immediately turned red.

"By the way, Your Highness, I haven't asked you yet... Who are you going to fight now? I asked Da Lei, but that guy's mouth is sealed tight; he won't say a word to me..."

Before Xiao Ce could speak, Hu Yidao said, "If it's inconvenient for you, it's fine not to say... I know the rules..."

“There’s nothing I can’t say. Don’t you know who Da Lei is? We’re going to prepare to attack Fusang.” Xiao Ce said to Hu Yidao.

Hu Yidao nodded: "That's alright... those Japanese pirates were dealt with easily... I heard that those Japanese pirates who invaded our Xiao Kingdom were taken care of by Your Highness in no time. You really are amazing..."

"However, why would you need so many people to attack Fusang? I always thought you were going to attack the Slavic countries. Is this a feint attack... a pretense to attack Fusang while actually taking the Slavic countries by surprise, is that it?"

Xiao Ce watched Hu Yidao start imagining things again, and said with a hint of helplessness, "Those people from Fusang aren't as weak as you think..."

Although Xiao Ce did not repeat what Boudica said to Hu Yidao, he did mention that the Fusang Kingdom had fought against several other countries in succession.

Hu Yidao was clearly unaware of these things. After hearing this, he looked astonished: "Holy crap... are they that amazing? Aren't they just a tiny country?"

Xiao Ce said, "War isn't about having more people... Alright, you take care of things here first... I need you to stabilize the situation here! This is very important for my future strategy."

Hu Yidao nodded solemnly: "Your Highness, please rest assured..."

Xiao Ce said, "If you need anything, just go to Yun Qing. Urgen. He can contact Tian Jinxian of the Northern Desert King's Mansion, as well as Yin Weiyong of the Xiao Kingdom."

Hu Yidao nodded. Xiao Ce had finished eating and got off Hu Yidao's carriage.

Hu Yidao then went to attend to his own business.

Boudica slept until nightfall. The saying "only oxen die from exhaustion, not land is ruined by plowing" doesn't apply here either.

They passed through this area without encountering any problems.

Because of Boudica's mention of the Illuminati, Xiao Ce decided to go ahead and take the first step.

After all, the marching speed of the main force was indeed quite slow.

He was thinking of going to talk to Brian Carter first.

According to Boudica, these foreigners all thought he was going to fight the Slavic countries.

It's unclear how people will react to his statement about attacking Japan.

Apart from Brian Carter, no one else seemed to know that the Illuminati was behind Japan.

He definitely has to attack Fusang, after all, if he doesn't attack now...

Once he conquers more territories outside, it will be even more difficult for Xiao Ce to attack him.

As for that 'Illuminati', although Boudica described it as incredibly impressive, and it is indeed powerful.

However, they are also intelligent people.

Xiao Ce's idea was to fight first, and as long as he made a name for himself.

Perhaps this Illuminati member will go and talk to him...

Once you talk to him, the initiative will be in Xiao Ce's hands.

Of course, Xiao Ce wouldn't tell them these things.

This battle is a must, and given their current situation, they need to make use of those foreigners...

So now we have to resort to a combination of coaxing and deception.

As for what happens in the future, we'll see. If what Boudica said is true, and they are all backed by the Illuminati.

They're bound to turn against each other sooner or later anyway.

Just as Xiao Ce was lost in thought, their carriage had already arrived outside the British colony.

At this time, a group of foreigners were waiting at the city gate.

Xiao Ce looked at Boudica with some surprise.
