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

After waking up, Nie Bing rubbed her head and looked around...

She couldn't help but swear.

Nie Bing, her face grim, said to Rhys, "Rhys, it looks like we've fallen into a trap..."

After hearing Nie Bing's words, Rhys gave a wry smile and then said, "Lord Nie Bing, that's all I can say. It was unexpected, but also reasonable."

After hearing what Rhys said, Nie Bing looked at Rhys with a somewhat wary gaze.

Without waiting for Nie Bing to speak, Rhys understood what she meant at a glance.

"Lord Nie Bing, you don't suspect that I'm in league with them, do you?"

Nie Bing looked at Rhys with a puzzled expression and asked, "What? Isn't that right?"

Reese continued, "Of course not...it definitely isn't..."

Nie Bing maintained a calm expression and asked Rhys, "Your Highness Rhys, how can you be so calm!"

Rhys gave a bitter laugh: "Because I know that once I'm in Prince Xiao Ce's hands, crying and shouting will be useless..."

Lisbon wanted to continue, but then decided to coax Nie Bing into speaking.

"Moreover, I saw Lord Nie Bing here... Since you are here... I believe you must have a solution."

Nie Bing gave a wry smile, then said to Rhys, "You're really giving me too much credit... I genuinely have absolutely no ideas..."

After listening to Nie Bing's words, Rhys asked, "So what do we do now, Lord Nie Bing...?"

After a moment of silence, Nie Bing said to Rhys, "What can we do? What else can we do? Since they've only arrested us, they probably won't kill us... so let's just wait..."

Rhys nodded in agreement after hearing this.

Before Rhys could speak, the sound of footsteps could be heard from the side.

Upon hearing this sound, both Nie Bing and Rhys looked over.

A prefect was seen walking over in a grand procession with several guards.

Upon seeing the prefect, Rhys cursed at them, "How dare you harm us! Aren't you afraid of the iron hooves of our Slavic nation coming after you?"

"Remember this..."

Lisbon wanted to continue, but found that the governor was completely ignoring him.

He walked to the cell where Nie Bing was being held.

Nie Bing remained relatively calm and glanced at the prefect.

"Prefect Zhao, since you dare to do this, you must have made thorough preparations. You're not afraid of what's about to happen... and you're certainly not afraid of offending us..."

Zhao Rang glanced at Nie Bing, then smiled and said, "Lord Nie Bing, please."

Nie Bing saw that Zhao Rang ignored him and instead continued talking to himself.

Nie Bing looked at Zhao Rang with a puzzled expression, then asked him, "Lord Zhao Rang...where are you going?"

Zhao Rang said to Nie Bing, "Just leave obediently."

Seeing that Nie Bing was still hesitating, Zhao Rang said, "Lord Nie Bing, I'm politely asking you to come... please don't make me lose patience, or we'll just tie you up and take you away..."

Seeing that Nie Bing's expression did not change, Zhao Rang asked Nie Bing, "Lord Nie Bing, I will still address you as 'Lord'. You are from Xiao Kingdom, you should know the meaning of 'if you don't listen to a toast, you'll have to drink a forfeit,' right... Do you want to accept a toast or drink a forfeit?"

Seeing that Zhao Rang had already said that, Nie Bing's expression turned cold, and she said to Zhao Rang, "Since you've said that, do I have a choice?"

With that, Nie Bing left with a dark expression.

Zhao Rang didn't waste any words and led Nie Bing out of the prison.

Then Nie Bing was put into the carriage, and Nie Bing wanted to ask who she was going to see.

However, Zhao Rang said nothing, only echoing Nie Bing's words: "You'll see when you see it..."

Nie Bing actually had a guess in her heart; it must be Xiao Ce.

She was still a little nervous, after all, she wasn't ready to meet Xiao Ce yet.

Nie Bing followed them out of the city, where a carriage was parked outside.

There was a little boy next to the carriage.

Zhao Rang's carriage approached first, while Nie Bing's carriage waited behind.

Although the person in the carriage waiting outside the city had not yet shown himself, Nie Bing was now certain that it was Xiao Ce.

Because Zhao Rang was constantly bowing and scraping to that carriage.

A short while later, Zhao Rang waved to the carriage where Nie Bing was sitting.

Their carriage then drove over, and Zhao Rang said to Nie Bing inside, "Lord Nie Bing, please..."

Nie Bing looked at Zhao Rang with a puzzled expression.

Zhao Rang smiled at Nie Bing and then said, "Alright, there's no one else here with Lord Nie Bing, so you don't need to pretend anymore."

Seeing this, Nie Bing looked at Zhao Rang with even more confusion.

Zhao Rang looked at Nie Bing with some doubt, but didn't say anything.

"The gentleman is already waiting for you..."

Nie Bing nodded and got out of the car, not knowing what Zhao Rang meant.

She was even more confused about what Xiao Ce meant by this.

Now, having no other choice, she got into the car Zhao Rang had suggested.

As soon as Nie Bing got into the carriage, it drove off.

Zhao Rang didn't even have a chance to say hello!

Just then, Zhao Rang said to the person beside him, "Alright, let's not just stand around here... let's go..."

...

After Nie Bing left, Rhys waited for her to return.

But after waiting all night, Nie Bing still didn't return.

He had a vague feeling that something was wrong, even though he hadn't thought there was anything seriously wrong.

However, Nie Bing's disappearance and subsequent failure to return aroused Nikolayevich's suspicions.

For two whole days, Nie Bing seemed to have vanished into thin air. At first, Rhys was a little worried, fearing that it would be his turn soon.

After waiting for two whole days, Nie Bing was nowhere to be seen, and he seemed to have been forgotten.

Nobody paid him any attention...

He was incredibly frustrated, but as a prisoner, he was powerless to do anything about it.

...

Meanwhile, in Zhao Rang's prefecture, everyone was very excited.

This place is still different from Changping County...

The allocation in Changping County was done in advance, while in Zhao Rang's case, the various county governors used an auction system.

In fact, to these prefects, these Slavic soldiers were far better than the Japanese soldiers.

After all, people from Slavic countries are generally tall and strong.

It's simply an excellent horse...

Therefore, everyone was eager to bid, after all, population is really important these days...

After all, each county is currently focusing on developing its economy...

And when it comes to developing the economy, people are the most important factor.

The auction took place right when they were having a great time.

One of Zhao Rang's stewards rushed over: "Your Excellency, Prefect... The Prince has arrived!"

After hearing the steward's words, Zhao Rang looked puzzled and asked, "Your Highness, you said you were leaving last time? Why are you back again?"

The butler shook his head: "I don't know either..."

"There might be other things," Zhao Rang said, standing up to let the others continue...

They walked outside the mansion and saw a carriage.

This carriage is clearly not the same one as before...

However, Zhao Rang stepped forward at this moment.

"Zhao Rang, the prefect of Benliu County, pays his respects to Your Highness!"

Upon hearing the commotion, Xiao Ce immediately sprang into action without a word.

After stepping out of the carriage, he glanced at Zhao Rang a few times.

Just as Xiao Ce was sizing up Zhao Rang, before he could speak, Zhao Rang spoke first: "Your Highness, why have you returned again? Is there something else you need to tell me? You could have simply sent a message by carrier pigeon... there was no need for you to come again..."

After hearing Zhao Rang's words, Xiao Ce subconsciously glanced at Night Cat to the side.

He immediately realized something was wrong. Generally speaking, Zhao Rang would be very excited when he first met him, but Zhao Rang was too calm this time.

Furthermore, something about what he said seemed off!

He asked Zhao Rang directly, "Have you seen me before?"

When Zhao Rang saw Xiao Ce ask this, he looked puzzled and then said, "Your Highness, didn't we just meet a couple of days ago? You haven't forgotten, have you?"
