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

The two men couldn't help but chuckle as they asked, "So, Daoist Master, his wife isn't in any danger at all, right?"

The mad Taoist continued, "That's right!"

Seeing how cooperative the Mad Taoist was, Xiao Ce was a little excited. He actually had many questions to ask the Mad Taoist.

But for a moment, my mind went blank.

Anxious, she said to the night cat beside her, "Quick...quick, think of some questions you want to ask him...if you miss this opportunity, who knows when he'll be able to answer you again!"

Night Owl was completely bewildered by Xiao Ce's urgent question.

He said directly to Xiao Ce, "Let me think...let me think..."

The night owl couldn't think of anything to ask for a moment...

Just then, Night Cat awkwardly said to Xiao Ce, "Brother, I can't remember either."

Seeing the two of them, the mad Taoist said, "Alright, you don't need to rush. We'll have plenty of time to spend together in the future. Go back."

Xiao Ce and Night Cat were completely dumbfounded when they heard the Mad Taoist speak so normally.

The two of them stared at the mad Taoist priest repeatedly for a while.

Before the two could speak, the mad Taoist continued, "Don't look at me like that... I'm still me... I've always been me..."

When Xiao Ce heard the mad Taoist start talking in such mysterious and cryptic terms again, he was almost certain of his identity.

"Master, so you were...?"

The mad Taoist said to Xiao Ce, "I'm merely cultivating, but I need to help you. During my cultivation, I need to eliminate most distracting thoughts... therefore, it's necessary for some unnecessary energy to disturb me..."

Then the mad Taoist said to Xiao Ce, "For example, your current mentally challenged problem..."

Xiao Ce wasn't angry at being rebuked by the Mad Taoist... on the contrary, he was secretly pleased...

"By the way, Daoist Master, can you tell me now? What did you come to see me for?" Xiao Ce asked the mad Daoist.

The mad Taoist glanced at Xiao Ce, then fell into deep thought...

After thinking for a while, he gave Xiao Ce an awkward smile.

Xiao Ce was somewhat bewildered by the mad Taoist's nonsensical smile.

"Master, don't just smile at me like that... I'm actually a little scared..."

The mad Taoist priest smiled again and said, "What's there to be afraid of... I just forgot a little..."

Xiao Ce looked at the mad Taoist priest strangely: "Forgot?"

The Mad Taoist nodded: "That's right, I definitely had a purpose in contacting you in the first place, I definitely wanted to do something... but I've just forgotten about it now..."

The mad Taoist priest seemed to be deep in thought again.

Xiao Ce was somewhat speechless. He'd recovered from one thing, but forgotten about another...

However, the mad Taoist was definitely in better shape than before; at least he could communicate.

As they walked, Xiao Ce said to the mad Taoist priest, "Taoist priest, where have you been all this time? I've looked everywhere for you but haven't been able to find you..."

The mad Taoist rolled his eyes at Xiao Ce again without any politeness: "Didn't I say? I'm going to cultivate..."

The night owl watching from the side couldn't help but chuckle.

Looking at the night owl, Xiao Ce couldn't help but laugh and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Night Cat couldn't stop smiling as he followed Xiao Ce's words, saying that this was the first time he had ever seen someone who knew his identity and still dared to speak to him like that.

Xiao Ce said to Night Cat, "You wouldn't dare talk to me like that, would you?"

Night Owl chuckled, then said, "I wouldn't dare say that either."

Xiao Ce continued to ask the mad Taoist, "So how did you do my makeup? This disguise technique is amazing!"

Xiao Ce actually found the most mysterious thing to be this disguise technique, even though Xiao Ce was a modern person.

There are still some things I don't understand.

However, this mad Taoist soon gave Xiao Ce a book of nonsense.

"It's normal, didn't I draw it in front of you?"

The mad Taoist rolled his eyes at Xiao Ce again, then said to him, "Alright, I think you should just shut up. You really are a drain on my energy... Always asking such pointless questions, it's just making conversation for the sake of it."

After being rebuked by the Mad Taoist, Xiao Ce smiled helplessly.

He then asked a few more questions, and although the mad Taoist was willing to talk to him, he was still able to.

However, it's not much different from before; although he's now willing to talk...

You follow his lead, he responds, and he might even retort with a sarcastic remark.

When it comes to crucial questions, he says he's forgotten...

Xiao Ce was helpless, but it didn't matter; there was always progress...

After Xiao Ce returned, Boudica was still resting, as she had expended a great deal of energy these past few days.

However, even though Xiao Ce spoke very softly, Boudica still heard him.

He then woke up.

After Boudica woke up, she said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, you're back? How did it go?"

Boudica's blond hair was scattered messily, and her sleepy blue eyes were extremely alluring.

Boudica naturally clung to Xiao Ce, her loose-fitting clothes barely concealing her figure.

It then hung on Xiao Ce's body.

It was hung on Xiao Ce's body.

Xiao Ce then told Boudica about the results of his discussion with his uncle.

Boudica looked reluctant to leave, but she didn't say anything.

They simply rushed forward, saying that Xiao Ce needed to make up for it ahead of time...

...

I was supposed to leave the next day.

But following the madman's advice, they went with Brian Carter and his group...

This gave Boudica even more time to squeeze Xiao Ce dry.

After Brian Carter had been preparing for four whole days, Xiao Ce was truly feeling somewhat exhausted.

Indeed, Xiao Ce was exceptionally gifted.

But as the old saying goes, there's no such thing as land that's been overcultivated, only oxen that have died from exhaustion...

He now has a deep understanding of this.

Fortunately, Brian Carter contacted him in time, and they had a meal together, after which he handed over the reins to Boudica.

Boudica was in charge of many affairs here before, so the transition was seamless.

Xiao Ce noticed that Brian Carter seemed to have some private things to say to Boudica.

Therefore, Xiao Ce wisely left.

Boudica probably felt sorry for Xiao Ce that day, because after returning, she simply hugged Xiao Ce and fell asleep.

No action was taken...

The next day, early in the morning, there were a total of five countries on their side.

They used a name suggested by Xiao Ce, which was the Five Eyes Alliance.

In fact, Xiao Ce also "plagiarized" this name from later generations.

When Xiao Ce first heard them use this name, he was genuinely surprised and astonished...

If this Five Eyes alliance is really established, it might actually be able to rival the Golden Society.

They boarded the ship in a very orderly manner. This time, they mobilized a total of 200,000 in bonuses for their warships, fleet, and troops.

They came out in almost their entire force. The main reason is that the Kingdom of Siam and the Kingdom of Sulu are, in any case, complete countries, and the five countries here really have too few resources.

If the Sulu and Siam kingdoms are properly managed and developed, the benefits to them will be enormous.

They were naturally very happy to agree...

This is a matter of enormous profit...

After all, if there's profit to be made, everyone's willing to participate...

As for Boudica here, Xiao Ce wasn't worried at all.

Although they transferred most of their Five Eyes Alliance members, Hu Yidao still has people in their north.

Based on what Brian Carter told him, Xiao Ce also gained a clear understanding of Hu Yidao's side.

Hu Yidao and Sangye, who was supported by India, also teamed up.

Sanjay has now become the representative of the new god of India, representing a series of symbols of fairness, justice, and enlightenment.

Sanjay then took charge of the clergy, while Hu Yidao was the de facto ruler.

Because their new god's doctrine is that everyone is equal, they were very tolerant of Hu Yidao, this so-called alien.

They also felt that this was a manifestation of their new God doctrine.

Hu Yidao, of course, knew about Boudica's relationship with Xiao Ce...

Before leaving, Xiao Ce had given Boudica a letter, telling him to write to Hu Yidao if he wanted help.

The fleet slowly began to move, and Boudica waved from the shore.

Although Xiao Ce was somewhat reluctant, he had no other choice...

Just watching it gradually...

He knew very well that this was the darkness before dawn.

Dawn and daybreak are just around the corner.

Xiao Ce waved his hand repeatedly at the people on the shore.

Night Owl kept staring at Xiao Ce.

Seeing that Night Cat's expression was a little unnatural, Xiao Ce quickly smiled at her and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Night Cat asked Xiao Ce, "Big Brother, are you alright?"

Xiao Ce didn't understand what Ye Mao meant for a moment: "I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"

Only after speaking did Xiao Ce realize something was wrong...

Then, with a look of surprise and delight, she said, "I didn't get seasick at all!"

Xiao Ce checked himself again and found that he was not seasick at all.

Xiao Ce felt utterly bewildered.

He looked at Night Owl, who shrugged, indicating he didn't know either.

Xiao Ce looked at the Mad Taoist again, but before Xiao Ce could speak, the Mad Taoist gave him a big eye roll.

Seeing the mad Taoist's disdainful look, Xiao Ce knew he couldn't ask any more questions...

Otherwise, I'll get criticized again.

However, Xiao Ce was in a good mood, which Brian Carter noticed.

"Your Excellency, are you feeling better from seasickness?"

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Not bad! I had thought of many possibilities and tried various methods before, and now it has healed without medicine."

Brian Carter then moved closer to Xiao Ce: "Did Boudica heal you?"

Xiao Ce naturally knew what Brian Carter was referring to, and nodded with a smile: "It really is possible, but I can't be too happy yet..."

It turned out that his seasickness had really improved.

He did not experience seasickness until he arrived in the Kingdom of Sulu.

When Xiao Ce arrived at the port, he found that the port was obviously bustling with activity, as quite a few warships had already arrived.

At this moment, Yin Pan'er, along with the Okamoto and Tojo families from Fusang, came to greet them.

As for the other members of the Illuminati, they naturally wouldn't come.

They still have strong class consciousness; in their hearts, they still feel that they are superior.

These people who came, although they were from their own country, were several classes lower than them.

Just then, Yin Pan'er saw Xiao Ce and acted as if nothing had happened.

Not only was Yin Pan'er surprised, but the Okamoto family was also surprised.

However, following behind Yin Pan'er, they naturally dared not speak before her.

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Yi Ce, you are in very good condition this time."

Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "Acting Lady, thanks to you... I almost died from seasickness when I went there... But things are strange since I came back..."

After exchanging pleasantries, he introduced Brian Carter.

Brian Carter gave Yin Pan'er a Western-style bow, and then began his introduction.

After exchanging pleasantries, Yin Pan'er smiled and led them back.

At this moment, Xiao Ce looked at Okamoto Juzo and Okamoto Juroku, who kept winking and making faces at him.

Xiao Ce secretly walked up to them and then got into their carriage.

"My two lords, you were looking for me?"

Okamoto Juzo said with concern, "It's nothing, it's nothing... I was just worried about you. We were worried about your seasickness, it's so great to see you recovered without any medicine..."

Xiao Ce said, "That's thanks to the two lords..."

Okamoto Juzo first asked why Ichirai was missing.

Xiao Ce said, "Lord Thirteen, aren't we about to go to the Xiao Kingdom? I'll have Da Lei go ahead and gather information... After all, Da Lei is tall and strong, they won't doubt his identity..."

"My lord, since the distance is too far... I'll act first and inform you later... You won't blame me, will you?"

Okamoto Juzo listened and laughed, saying, "Hey, what a question... How could we blame you... You did a good job..."

After listening to the two men's pleasantries, Xiao Ce realized that they didn't have any real business to discuss; they were mainly just trying to flatter him.

After all, a large number of weapons, equipment, and ships have arrived...

Yin Pan'er hasn't mentioned how those items were distributed yet...

Xiao Ce then asked Okamoto Juzo whether their recruitment was going smoothly.

Okamoto Juzo said that they had a great advantage, and the armed forces in Siam had already submitted to them and agreed to their terms almost without much persuasion.
