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

Yunqing Urgen nodded and then said, "That's right, I naturally know this principle... that's why I came to discuss it with you."

"If it were simple, I wouldn't have let you do it, right? Why don't you go and think of a way?"

Seeing this, Wei Wuji gave a wry smile and then said, "I haven't agreed to it yet. Aren't you afraid I'll rebel? Besides, you make it sound so easy. This isn't as simple as it seems!"

Yunqing Urgen said with a smile, "It's up to you how you do it. You're not helping me, you're helping the Prince! The more troops you retain, the more resources you'll have to counterattack the Prince in the future."

Yun Qing.Urgen hit the nail on the head with one sentence: "You should have said that earlier! Okay, I'll go back and think of a way. But there's one condition."

Yunqing Urgen said, "Even if they are discharged on the spot, they will not be shortchanged in their pay. Before each soldier leaves, register them and make a list. When they return to their posts, they will be paid in full!"

Wei Wuji's expression changed slightly as he listened: "Alright! Then you should be careful too."

Yun Qing.Urgen said to Wei Wuji, "What's with that expression? Are you worried about me? Don't you doubt me?"

Wei Wuji nodded: "To be honest, at first I was suspicious of you. But you've been able to talk to me for so long, so I know I shouldn't have doubted you! After all, if you really wanted to, you could have killed me."

"Besides, I know your considerations are far more complex than mine. However, the disbanding of our army went very smoothly; will they have any suspicions?"

Yun Qing.Urgen smiled at Wei Wuji and said, "Don't worry, I'll figure out a way to handle these things. You just need to keep your army calm, and of course... don't let the news leak out... your task is no less important than mine..."

Just then, a voice came from outside: "Khan, Chief Hama is here to see you."

Yunqing Urgen said to the outside, "Okay, go and make arrangements for him, I'll go and receive him right away."

As he spoke, Yun Qing Urgen said to Wei Wuji, "This is yet another person who has been turned to the side, here to see my attitude... I won't entertain you... You were able to come without anyone noticing, so you should be able to leave without anyone noticing, right?"

Wei Wuji nodded: "You should also be careful... the people you're facing are much more powerful than me."

Yunqing Urgen gave a wry smile: "Yes, sometimes I do want to do things more simply! But then I can't let go of my conscience!"

Wei Wuji smiled and nodded: "Khan, I shouldn't have doubted you!"

Yunqing Urgen laughed out loud upon hearing this: "I still prefer you to call me Zhang Yunqing."

Wei Wuji smiled and gestured for him to go.

Yunqing Urgen smiled and nodded, then walked to the door.

Wei Wuji continued, "Will you regret the decision you've made?"

Yunqing Urgen smiled and said, "I won't regret it. This is just an investment in business. It's also a choice made at the gamble. Between the two, I definitely favor the Prince!"

Wei Wuji nodded: "That's right, I won't regret it no matter what the consequences are!"

With that, Yunqing Urgen walked out.

When Yunqing Urgen interacted with people from various tribes in the area, he always expressed his support for them.

They support their cooperation with Slavic countries.

As a result, those people naturally supported Yunqing Urgen.

After all, the fact that these original Turkic peoples were able to remain was due to the support and protection of Yunqing Urgen, so they still felt some gratitude towards Yunqing Urgen.

These past few days, after communicating with the people here, Yunqing Urgen was somewhat surprised, because more than half of his team had been infiltrated.

They all expressed their intention to support the Illuminati. Yunqing Urgen was very curious as to why they were so determined.

However, he didn't ask them. After thinking for a while, Yunqing Urgen came to a conclusion.

It's because Xiao Ce has been too lenient with them, causing them to forget that all the wonderful days they have here are a gift from him.

Thinking of this, he realized that Xiao Ce had never paid attention to this matter, nor had he considered his thoughts, and even their troops rarely came over.

Therefore, this has led some people here to have some wrong ideas and judgments.

He had his own selfish motives, wanting to cultivate his own power, which meant deliberately downplaying Xiao Ce's role.

Looking back now, Yunqing Urgen really wants to slap himself.

However, there's no going back in life.

Although he had temporarily stabilized the situation, Yunqing Urgen knew very well that this was just the beginning.

The real beginning came after the Illuminati members arrived.

Those people are not easy to fool.

...

After Wei Wuji returned, he summoned his trusted confidants and discussed the matter.

They quickly came up with a solution.

That is, they first went back to tell their respective subordinates, and then told them that the Khan had united with the Slavs.

They want to rebel, and now they need to leave to deal with the traitors from the Turkic Kingdom.

Those who are willing to leave are considered trusted confidants; those who are unwilling to leave are naturally less loyal.

Those who were willing to leave were then instructed by designated personnel to secretly infiltrate and live among the common people.

As for those who don't want to leave, they can just be disbanded when the time comes.

Everything went very smoothly for them. To Wei Wuji's surprise, there were still quite a few surrender factions in their army.

This left him somewhat disappointed.

However, he felt this was also a good thing, as it helped to weed out some of the scum.

...

While changes were taking place in and around Xiao Kingdom, Xiao Ce in Fusang Kingdom had already toured the entire country with Gulimiza.

After following Xiao Ce on his tour of Fusang, Gulimiza still had one opinion: Fusang was not as good as a single hair of Xiao Ce's country, and was inferior to Xiao Ce in every way.

The only positive aspect might be the control over the surrounding sea areas.

That day, as usual, they sat together for dinner.

During the meal, Xiao Ce saw a messenger bowing as he approached.

Upon seeing this person, Xiao Ce knew it was time for him to leave.

Xiao Ce looked at the messenger who came over and asked, "Is there any news?"

The messenger nodded.

Xiao Ce gestured to the messenger to give him the letter.

The messenger glanced awkwardly at Xiao Ce, then said, "Your Highness, there is no message this time."

Just as Xiao Ce was wondering...

The messenger asked, "The messenger is outside, but your orders are that no one can approach you without your command and a token."

This order was given after Xiao Ce was assassinated once.

The assassination attempt occurred a few days earlier. Someone had infiltrated their guard team and then, when they were off guard, planned to carry out the assassination.

Thankfully, the mad Taoist kept saying that Xiao Ce was in danger.

Although Xiao Ce and the others thought that the mad Taoist was having a relapse.

Xiao Ce didn't take it seriously, but Da Lei didn't ignore it and added several more layers of defense.

That's why the person failed.

However, this assassin was highly professional; he was an assassin from the Blood Ghost Pavilion.

They were professional killers, so no one was left alive.

However, since then, Da Lei has increased the security around him by several levels.

Not only did they have passwords, but they also had tattoos on their bodies; these people were all handpicked by Da Lei after several rounds of selection.

Even the messenger needs several passwords to get in.

After hearing the messenger's message, Da Lei stood up.

"Your Highness, I'll go check it out."

Xiao Ce wasn't as nervous as Da Lei, and said rather casually, "You don't need to be so nervous. Our alarm didn't give any warning, did it?"

As Xiao Ce spoke, he glanced at the mad Taoist priest who was now focused on eating.

Ever since that accurate prediction, Xiao Ce gave this mad Taoist a nickname: Alarm.

Da Lei smiled and said, "Your Highness, we can't rely on it entirely. What if it malfunctions?"

Xiao Ce smiled and nodded after hearing this.

Gulimiza said, "That's right, Mr. Da Lei is right. We're just being prepared. Your Highness, you can be a bit too careless sometimes."

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "No, not at all. You know I'm most afraid of dying."

"Alright, hurry up and bring them over."

Da Lei smiled, nodded, and walked out.

Xiao Ce noticed the disappointment on Gulimiza's face.

Xiao Ce had a vague idea that Gulimiza might have sensed that she was leaving on her own.

Women's perception and sixth sense are truly amazing.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Ce asked, feigning ignorance.

Gulimiza forced a smile: "Your Highness, should I be leaving?"

Xiao Ce gently pinched Gulimiza's face, which was full of collagen, and then said, "That's right, it's time for you to go."

"But there's nothing to be unhappy about. Isn't every separation just a prelude to a better reunion next time?"

After listening, Gulimiza shook his head: "Then Your Highness, may I go with you?"

Xiao Ce shook his head firmly: "Of course not. You must understand, this Xiao Kingdom is our base of operations right now. We can't even protect ourselves. Let alone... the place we're going..."

Gulimiza waved his hand, stopping Xiao Ce from speaking further.

"Alright, Your Highness, don't take my words seriously. I know I can't hold you back, so I'm going back! The Xiao Kingdom needs me right now!"

Xiao Ce waved his hand: "You don't need to worry about the affairs of Xiao Kingdom... I've already given the orders over there. Go to the Western Regions. As you know, I have the least control over the Western Regions."

Gulimiza nodded: "Your Highness, didn't you say that their infiltration wouldn't target the Western Regions?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "I mean, it's highly unlikely, but as you know, the reason your Western Regions can cooperate with us and support us is because we are strong. Although I've made arrangements, I'm just a human, not the god they talk about. In case anything unexpected happens, I hope we still have a base of operations..."

Gulimiza said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, I believe you are more powerful than a god. I understand your concerns. I will go to the Western Regions and then help you control the situation there!"

"Night owl!"

Before Gulimiza could finish speaking, she noticed that Xiao Ce looked excited.

Following Xiao Ce's gaze, Gulimiza saw a person completely wrapped up.

Let alone their appearance, it's hard to tell even from their figure.
