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

Da Lei knew very well that Yin Weiyong was afraid of hearing some bad news.

Da Lei smiled and gestured to Yin Weiyong not to be nervous, saying it was a good thing.

Yin Weiyong's expression softened somewhat after hearing Da Lei's words...

Then he turned to Da Lei and said, "Is this good news?"

After listening to Yin Weiyong's words, Da Lei said to Yin Weiyong, "Not bad, it should be considered good news."

Da Lei then told Yin Weiyong about what had happened in the Sulu Kingdom.

As Da Lei spoke, he kept looking at Yin Weiyong's expression.

He was also sizing up Yin Weiyong, but he didn't see any sign of knowledge or understanding in Yin Weiyong.

His entire being was visibly shocked and incredulous.

"Mr. Lei, are you sure? How could Pan'er possibly go to the Illuminati? I just can't believe it... And you even said she became a core member of the Illuminati... That's even more impossible..."

Da Lei said to Yin Weiyong, "That's what I saw... That person and the princess look exactly alike, completely identical... I can't tell the difference between them at all... However, the prince said that they are very likely the same person..."

After listening to Da Lei's words, Yin Weiyong nodded and then said to Da Lei, "She didn't do anything detrimental to our Xiao Kingdom, did she?"

Da Lei knew that Yin Weiyong was worried about this. Da Lei nodded to Yin Weiyong and then said, "Just put your mind at ease. If I were worried, I wouldn't be saying this to you. Hasn't she written you a single letter in all this time?"

Yin Weiyong gave a wry smile, then said, "The only letter I received before wasn't mentioned by the Prince, but it didn't contain much information. It only reported that I was safe and sound, nothing else..."

Seeing Yin Weiyong's slightly reserved demeanor, Da Lei quickly reassured him, "Prime Minister Yin, don't be nervous. I didn't mean anything by telling you this; I just wanted to let you know... I wasn't trying to test you. The Prince trusts you completely..."

After listening to Da Lei's words, Yin Weiyong nodded with a smile: "I know that. I didn't misunderstand! But no matter what, the Prince is coming back, and everything will take a turn for the better..."

After listening to Yin Weiyong's words, Da Lei nodded.

...

In the following days, each prefecture governor made their own preparations.

Yin Weiyong, on the other hand, seemed relatively relaxed.

In addition, within the Northern Desert Royal Palace, Ries had already become the representative of the Slavic Empire.

Now that the order has been received, although an agreement had been reached with Tian Jinxian of the Northern Desert Prince's Palace.

But with the attack imminent, Rhys still needs to personally meet with Tian Jinxian to be on the safe side.

Tian Jinxian was the top scholar selected during the first batch of imperial examinations when Xiao Ce was still alive, before the Northern Desert Prince's Mansion had unified the country.

He was highly valued by Yin Pan'er, and Tian Jinxian himself was also capable.

Later, when Yin Weiyong came, he rose further based on his own abilities and was highly valued by Yin Weiyong.

Later, after hearing about Tian Jinxian's achievements, Xiao Ce appointed him as the chief administrator of the Northern Desert Prince's Palace.

Interestingly enough, Tian Jinxian had already been appointed as a powerful regional official who controlled a large area.

Tian Jinxian and Xiao Ce had never met before.

This is indeed interesting.

At this time, the border between the Northern Desert Royal Palace and the Turkic Kingdom was located.

Han Da and Yan Jia stood on either side of Tian Jinxian, and then the two of them asked Tian Jinxian, "Commander Tian, ​​do you think their Slavs can trust us?"

Tian Jinxian said to Han Da and Yan Jia, "He's clearly here to see our sincerity..."

Yan Jia nodded and said, "We've shown sincerity, haven't we? The main thing is that the two of us were the prince's most trusted people! So, he'll always be suspicious of us following you..."

Tian Jinxian waved his hand and said, "You're mistaken... Only your presence can prove our stance."

Yan Jia looked puzzled after hearing Tian Jinxian's words.

Tian Jinxian said, "If we hide you away, or make up an excuse to say we replaced you, they won't believe us. The strength of the Northern Desert King's Mansion lies firstly in your crew of short-haired soldiers, and secondly in the management here. They know very well that the crew of short-haired soldiers won't easily betray us... So, if you leave, or say you're not here, they will be suspicious. But if I convince you, they will believe me."

After listening to Tian Jinxian's words, Yan Jia nodded: "General Tian, ​​you won't betray the Prince... you won't betray the Xiao Kingdom, will you?"

After listening to Yan Jia's words, Tian Jinxian smiled and said, "Of course not. We've only been following the Prince's expedient measures... I'll talk to them this time! Besides, they haven't even discovered Yun Qing. Urgen, so they definitely won't discover our problems..."

After listening to Tian Jinxian's words, Yan Jia shook his head repeatedly: "Nodding. Commander Tian, ​​then we'll have to trouble you again... We won't say anything later, right? After all, these things aren't my forte."

Tian Jinxian smiled and said, "Generals, I'm just having you show yourselves. I know how to handle the details. You don't need to say anything, just watch..."

The two of them then nodded.

As the two were talking, they saw a caravan approaching from the border between the Turkic Kingdom and the Northern Desert Kingdom.

Rhys arrived with a small team.

There weren't many of them.

Rhys saw a tall, thin man with an ordinary appearance.

After getting off the carriage, Rhys greeted Tian Jinxian, saying, "Commander Tian, ​​why did you come to greet me personally?"

Tian Jinxian was clearly surprised that Rhys recognized him so quickly.

Then, with a look of surprise on his face, he said, "Your Highness Rhys, we haven't met before, have we?"

Reese smiled and said very politely, "Commander Tian, ​​this may be the first time you've met me... but I've heard so much about you beforehand! So, I do have some prior knowledge of you."

Tian Jinxian listened to Rhys's way of speaking and noticed that it sounded very similar to the way people from Xiao Kingdom spoke.

What surprised Tian Jinxian even more was that this person from the Liskov language spoke the Liskov language very well.

"Your Highness, I didn't expect you to speak the Xiao language so well."

Reese smiled and said to Tian Jinxian, "Hey, we're studying together here too..."

Tian Jinxian looked around, somewhat surprised, and said, "Your Highness, is this all the people you brought? You seem to trust me quite a bit!"

Reese smiled and said to Tian Jinxian, "That's right...aren't we friends? Besides, I think you're a smart person...I don't need to put up so many defenses when I come to a friend's house, right?"

After listening to Rhys's words, Tian Jinxian smiled and nodded repeatedly: "That's right, Your Highness Rhys had heard that you were an expert on the State of Xiao, and now it seems that he was absolutely right... You really are an expert on the State of Xiao..."

After listening to Tian Jinxian's words, Rhys smiled and said, "I am indeed very curious about and fond of the culture of Xiao Kingdom..."

After exchanging pleasantries, Tian Jinxian invited Lisi to join them.

Throughout the journey, Rhys was utterly astonished by the sights of the Northern Desert King's Palace.

He had previously seen the architecture of the Northern Desert Prince's Palace and the smooth, wide roads.

Now, having passed through the entire Northern Desert Royal Palace, it appears even more prosperous.

Upon arriving at the city where Tian Jinxian lived, Tian Jinxian had already prepared a variety of delicacies.

He then invited Rhys to sit down. After they sat down,

Ries did not hold back his amazement at the development of the Northern Desert Royal Palace.

"Commander Tian, ​​you really are quite capable. After managing the Northern Desert Prince's Mansion for so long, it seems to have improved even more than when it was under Prince Xiao Ce's command..."

After listening to Rhys's words, Tian Jinxian smiled and said, "Your Highness Rhys, you flatter me. Actually, I didn't do anything... I was just following the formation left by the Prince..."

"Your Highness, so you've seen it all... what the Northern Desert Royal Palace was like before, and what it's like now. You should have seen it all. I don't actually have any grand plans; my thinking is very simple: to protect the Northern Desert Royal Palace! Once war breaks out, it wasn't easy for us to build this palace, but now, with the raging flames of war, destroying it will be as easy as playing a game..."

"Therefore, we can form an alliance with you, even provide support and access... Our only request is that you allow us to continue as before..."

"Even if you were part of our Northern Desert Royal Palace's profits, we would give them to you! That's our only request. If you agree, we will definitely welcome you with open arms."

"Even our Northern Desert Royal Palace's crew-cut soldiers support you."

Seeing that Yan Jia was about to speak, Tian Jinxian added, "Of course, our crew-cut soldiers won't help you either. If anyone invades this area, we'll defend ourselves, but we can't fight alongside you..."

Hearing Tian Jinxian say this, Ries readily agreed: "No problem... Chief Tian, ​​didn't we mention these details in the letter?"

Seeing that Rhys was so agreeable, Tian Jinxian said to Rhys, "Your Highness Rhys, so you agree to everything?"

Reese smiled and said to Tian Jinxian, "Of course, these were all agreed upon by us... Are you perhaps misunderstanding something? I came here mainly because our troops are about to enter in large numbers, and I still need to go with Commander Tian to confirm things, just in case anything changes..."

After hearing Rhys's words, Tian Jinxian breathed a sigh of relief, gave an awkward smile, and then said to Rhys, "Your Highness, I see. I thought you came in person because you had some objection to the conditions we had previously agreed upon..."

Ries said to Tian Jinxian, "Commander Tian, ​​it's meaningless. It's just a confirmation... After all, the Japanese army is about to arrive, and we don't want to waste too much time here. Therefore, we don't want any unnecessary trouble or misunderstandings to occur here..."

Just then, Tian Jinxian said to Ries, "If that's the case, we were actually prepared long ago."

As he spoke, Tian Jinxian glanced at someone beside him, and his subordinates immediately understood and went to take it.

Lis looked at Tian Jinxian strangely.

Tian Jinxian smiled slightly, then said to Rhys, "Your Highness Rhys, we have already made plans to welcome you, and the procedures for providing you with assistance... all of this is already well planned."

Ries nodded: "Commander Tian, ​​you really mean it... If everyone in Japan were as easy to talk to as you, we wouldn't have to waste so much unnecessary energy..."

Tian Jinxian said to Rhys, "Your Highness Rhys, why do you trust us so much... Don't you have any doubts about us at all?"

After listening to Tian Jinxian's words, Rhys laughed and said, "Doubt? Of course not... What's there to doubt? Actually, if Xiao Ce weren't dead, we would definitely be suspicious. But Xiao Ce is dead... You are all locals from the Northern Desert Royal Palace, you would definitely be doing what's best for the Northern Desert Royal Palace! You wouldn't get involved in those messy affairs in the Central Plains of Xiao Kingdom..."

"Furthermore, we were friends with the Prince before... The people of Fusang killed Prince Xiao Ce... We were actually very angry! So, I think we can become very good allies no matter what!"

"What we want is the Xiao Kingdom. Once we've stabilized there, your Northern Desert Royal Palace can choose to become independent... However, you know we have the Illuminati behind us! Therefore, my suggestion is that you become our vassal state, where you can receive the Illuminati's protection..."

As Rhys kept brainwashing him, Tian Jinxian smiled and agreed with everything.

For now, as long as the Northern Desert Royal Palace is not affected by the war, that would be a huge benefit for them.

As for what Rhys said about Xiao Ce being dead, they had indeed heard quite a few rumors.

However, he wouldn't believe a single punctuation mark; in fact, Xiao Ce hadn't contacted them for a long time.

However, they had no doubt about the task Xiao Ce had given them!

As they were talking, Tian Jinxian's subordinate brought over a stack of papers, which Tian Jinxian handed to Rhys: "Your Highness Rhys, this is the plan we made for receiving you. Please take a look."
