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

Mos Ashina stood at the door, squinting as he sized up the newcomer, since the moonlight was quite bright tonight.

He spotted Nie Bing walking at the front, along with soldiers dressed in Xiao Kingdom uniforms.

Seeing this, he was so frightened that he quickly shrank back into the house and closed the door.

He witnessed Nie Bing kill Bao An with a single sword strike, and he also knew that Nie Bing's father was Nie Yao.

He knew all too well the hatred Nie Bing harbored for the Turks!

Seeing that, he was terrified and hid behind the door, trembling. "Miss Nie... I... I have no grudge against you in the past, and no resentment today. Please... please don't hurt me... we can talk about anything."

He found it strange; he had clearly heard a Turkic language while he was in the house.

The Turks who were following Nie Bing outside looked at her with some curiosity.

Nie Bing's expression turned slightly cold: "If I wanted to hurt him, he would have been dead long ago!"

The Turks didn't respond, but instead shouted into the house.

"Khan! I am Nuba. Don't be afraid, we've come to save you!"

"Khan! I am Khurja, and we have been sent by the Khan to rescue you! Don't be afraid, this girl Nie Bing is one of our own."

Mos Ashina confirmed that the language outside the door was Turkic before opening the door a crack and crouching down to face out.

Upon seeing the four familiar faces, Mos Ashina excitedly opened the door.

These four men were his father's four iron guards.

"Nuba, Hurza! Is it really you? Have you come to save me?"

Nuba, the burly man at the head of the group, saw Mos Ashina's haggard face and his wrapped hands!

"Khan, your fingers!"

Mos Ashina said with a sinister expression, "He was chopped down by that piece of trash."

Nuba glared at Nie Bing with a dark expression: "Do you know the consequences of doing this?"

Nie Bing's face was as cold as ice: "Consequences? Are you trying to settle scores with me now? Do you really think I'm doing this for you?"

Mos Ashina looked at Nie Bing's dark face, fearing that Nie Bing would change her mind.

Although he didn't quite understand, he could tell from their conversation that they wouldn't have been able to get in without Nie Bing's help.

Similarly, they wouldn't have been able to get out without Nie Bing's help.

He didn't want to stay there for another second, and quickly said humbly, "Miss Nie Bing, we didn't mean that. As long as you rescue me, I promise I won't hold you responsible."

Nie Binghan said with a cold face, "I'm helping you not so that you won't hold me responsible."

Before they could speak, Nie Bing said to the Turk beside him, "Stop talking nonsense, strip the clothes off that soldier at the door and put them on him!"

A Turk quickly did so and soon stripped off a set of clothes.

Normally, Mos Ashina would have disliked these clothes for a long time, but this time he put them on incredibly fast.

After he finished changing, the five people came out.

Nie Bing said, "Alright, follow me."

They proceeded without hindrance. When they arrived at the gate, Nie Bing said she would lead them to find Xiao Ce, and the people at the gate let them through.

After leading the five people aside, Nie Bing coldly said, "I brought you out. Tell that person to do what he promised me as soon as possible!"

Nuba nodded and said to Mos Ashina, "Khan, let's go."

At this moment, Mos Ashina's humble and cautious demeanor vanished, replaced by a look of resentment and ruthlessness.

He spat angrily onto the ground.

"Xiao Ce! You just wait! What I've lost and suffered here, I will make you pay a thousandfold! I will make you wish you were dead!"

After saying that, he turned around and, surrounded by four people, disappeared into the night.

Looking at Mos Ashina's expression, seeing the overwhelming hatred and venom in his eyes, Nie Bing felt a pang of regret.

Her expression was complicated; she didn't know if she had done something wrong.

However, she immediately thought of her family members who might still be alive, and her gaze hardened.

...

Outside Lingxiao City, bonfires were lit everywhere, and all the soldiers were eating meat and drinking wine heartily.

Xiao Ce carried a jar of wine and went around offering toasts, causing a sensation wherever he went.

Because Xiao Ce was the eldest prince of the Great Xiao Kingdom, he was toasting them.

This is something many people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

In Xiao Ce's eyes, a modern man, he was used to equality for all and didn't think this was anything special.

However, for these ancient people who lived in a hierarchical society, it was an immense shock.

Even Xiao Dingshan, who was hailed as the God of War of the Xiao Kingdom, would not mingle with the lower-ranking soldiers.

Yin Pan'er and Lin Zhong, who were accompanying Xiao Ce, looked at the scene before them.

Lin Zhong said to Yin Pan'er, "Miss Yin, your attitude towards the Prince has changed quite a bit!"

Yin Pan'er nodded, not denying it: "Uncle Zhong, it's because we all misjudged him. At first, I thought he did this to win people over. But a person's actions don't lie. He didn't consider these people as his own, nor did he think he was superior to others."

“These soldiers aren’t stupid; they can sense the prince’s sincerity. After this night, most of them will probably really be willing to risk their lives for Xiao Ce, and it won’t just be empty talk anymore. This is what the prince often says: ‘A scholar will die for one who understands him.’”

Just as the two were talking, Night Owl arrived without anyone noticing.

Da Lei and Ye Mao exchanged a glance and walked over to Xiao Ce's side, whispering a few words to each other.

"My fellow brothers, let's eat and drink our fill tonight! We won't leave until we're completely drunk! I still need to check on the other brothers..."

With that, Xiao Ce took a bowl, poured himself some wine, drank it all in one gulp, and left.

He staggered away, looking completely drunk.

Yin Pan'er tried to help him up, but Xiao Ce waved his hand, his face full of drunkenness as he mumbled, "No...no need, Miss Yin, I...I'm not drunk...I'll go relieve myself first. We...we'll fight again later!"

Da Lei helped Xiao Ce up, saying, "Your Highness, I will take care of the Prince. Please don't worry."

Night Owl also came over to help.

Xiao Ce staggered to a tree, unzipped his pants, and began to relieve himself.

But in that instant, the drunkenness on his face vanished, and he asked Night Owl, "The person's gone?"

Night Cat cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, as you commanded, Miss Nie and Mos Ashina left very smoothly!"

Xiao Ce nodded and said, "Okay, let's proceed according to the plan."

Night Owl nodded respectfully: "Your Highness, yes!"
