Chapter 1368: Are You Sure?

He was particularly scared that Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue would kick him to the curb when he was no longer useful because he had offended An Jiuyue earlier.
Even though he had misjudged An Jiuyue and Qian Jiyun, they did not harm him and instead gave him back his boat. Indeed, there were differences between people.
Meanwhile, no one knew where Yuan Jingxian’s crew had gone.
He scanned the shore and did not see anyone from Yuan Jingxian’s crew. It seemed like they had yet to return.
Yuan Jingxian had fled after Qian Jiyun killed the first Deepwater Shark Dragon. He must have been afraid of Qian Jiyun and did not dare cause trouble again.
However, there was no guarantee that Yuan Jingxian wouldn’t cause trouble in the future. They had to grow stronger.
“Let’s find an inn to rest for two days before setting off, okay?” Qian Jiyun asked An Jiuyue, whom he was protecting.
“Okay.” An Jiuyue nodded.
She did not want to leave so early either. She felt a little dizzy after sailing on the boat for so many days. Being able to sleep soundly before hurrying on their way was ideal.
She wondered how Zhan Beiye was doing. Was Ming Fucheng stupid enough to sell his country?
A few days passed…
While Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue were on Beiyuan Lake, Zhan Beiye had successfully conquered 10 cities from Yueming Empire.
He had captured nine of the cities himself, and the last one was promised to Zhan Beiye by the Yueming Emperor on behalf of his unfilial son, Ming Fucheng.
The war ended with Yueming Empire’s defeat.
The Zhanling Emperor was overjoyed to hear this news. Although he disliked his son, Zhan Beiye, Zhanling Empire had become even larger. How could he not like this?
Without hesitation, he issued an imperial edict to Zhan Beiye, summoning him back to the imperial court to relinquish control over the military and management rights of the 10 cities.
Moreover, he wanted Zhan Beiye to hand them to Zhan Beixiao, his favorite prince.
“Heh, how bold of him!”
Zhan Beiye was amused, even though Zhan Beixiao had yet to arrive.
Could Zhan Beixiao, a prince without any military achievements, take over the cities he painstakingly conquered? What was he thinking?
“Bring people to Qi City personally to kidnap and kill Zhan Beixiao. Actually, there’s no need to kill him. Just leave him half-dead so he can get back to the capital and report to the Emperor.” He instructed the deputy general beside him.
“Yes, Your Highness.”
After the war, the deputy general stopped addressing Zhan Beiye as “Marshal”. Instead, he called him “Your Highness”.
Upon hearing the prince’s command, there was an eager excitement in his eyes. The soldiers who had followed Zhan Beiye all the way here were already fed up with the Emperor’s actions.
He let useless princes and princesses climb all over Prince Zhan, who had already accomplished much. Zhanling Empire would surely perish if this continued.
He accepted the commands and turned to leave.
This time, he had to play with this so-called Prince Xiao and let him know that their prince was no pushover.
“Your Highness, are you sure?”
When the other deputy generals saw him leave, they could not help but ask their prince.
“Mhm,” Zhan Beiye replied softly.
He was very sure that he would protect what he had seized.. Was he supposed to hand it over to others on a platter?
