Chapter 621 Surrender
The prince disappeared in the depths of the grassland for more than 20 days. When he reappeared, he was leading his trusted army out of the grassland on horseback. During these days, his hard work finally paid off, and the prince got a glimpse of the extremely secret royal court of Unad Eagle.
But halfway back, the prince's men encountered a soldier from Dasheng. The soldier was injured in the chest and lost his way, and happened to meet the pathfinder sent by the prince.
The soldier was very excited to meet his own people and quickly reported what had happened. It turned out that the eldest prince was investigating the location of the grassland royal court in another place with water source, but he met an army patrolling the grassland.
The two armies immediately started fighting, and several soldiers were temporarily ordered to seek help from outside.
"Those grassland people mistook the eldest prince for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and pressed on to him, determined to capture him. Their forces outnumber us several times!"
The prince's expression was stern: "Let's go! Lead the way!"
Mo Xuan picked up the soldier without saying a word, placed him behind him, and galloped away on his horse.
With the soldier leading the way, the Crown Prince and his troops quickly arrived. Just as the eldest prince was being attacked by three people, the eldest prince was furious and said, "How shameless! How can you be a hero if a few people attack me alone!"
One of them took the time to say, "Once we capture you, the Crown Prince of Dasheng, we will all be kings of different surnames! Watch out for the sword!"
The eldest prince was furious, but he knew he couldn't deny it outright. The key point was that denying it would be useless! He understood that these people had confused him with the crown prince.
The eldest prince could only try his best to resist. Not far away, war horses neighed and dust billowed. Several people who were fighting passionately looked at the newcomer at the same time. The eldest prince took a closer look and said, "Sixth brother!"
After confirming that they were his own people, the eldest prince laughed heartily and said to the grassland people with grim expressions, "You all stay here!"
The prince's troops arrived in a flash, and the situation of the battle was reversed. The grassland people were beaten to pieces, and some of them fled in panic on their horses when they saw the situation was not good.
The battle was settled, and the eldest prince finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, he had just fought three men at once, and his left arm had been slightly injured. The eldest prince didn't take it seriously, bandaging it with a piece of clothing. Then he sat down on the ground, exhaled, and said to the crown prince standing beside him, "Sixth brother, let me catch my breath. You saved me again this time!"
The prince shook his head: "On the battlefield, there are lifesavers everywhere. There is no need to be like this, my dear brother."
The eldest prince looked at the dusty crown prince and said, "It seems you haven't had a good time these days either!"
The prince laughed and said, "Yes! Covered in mud! My mother's eyes would surely turn red if she saw me like this! Your mother would surely cry too if she saw you injured!"
Thinking of Concubine Wan, the eldest prince's expression was dazed for a moment, and he suddenly said, "In fact, my third brother sent someone to find me. He told me some things. The prince should know that my biological mother is not Concubine Wan, right? He told me the real cause of my biological mother's death. My third brother thought I didn't know. In fact, on the day you were born, my father had already told me everything. At that time, Concubine Wan gave up everything in the palace for me, my father, honor, and status, and accompanied me to exile in a deserted palace. I swore that year that I would never do anything to make Concubine Wan sad in this life, and never let her down again! I will always remember the suffering and sacrifices Concubine Wan endured for me! She is not as beautiful as my mother, nor as kind as my mother, but I am willing to let go of my biological mother's death for her!"
The eldest prince's expression suddenly became solemn and serious. He half-rose and knelt, "Your Highness, for my mother, and for your repeated rescue of me from danger, I commit my life to you for the rest of my life! From now on, I will obey all your orders!"
This was the first time the eldest prince had clearly surrendered to the crown prince. The crown prince's eyes flashed, and he quickly reached out to help the eldest prince up: "Brother, from now on, you and I will be brothers. Together we will resist foreign enemies and make our Great Sheng prosperous! For thousands of years!"
"it is good!"
The two men clashed their palms, and the Crown Prince took advantage of the situation to pull the eldest prince up: "Let's go! We've been away for so many days. If we don't go back, the Emperor will be worried!"
Both of them mounted their horses, and the two teams gradually merged into one team and set off into the distance.
This war was led by Emperor Shenwu. He was able to predict the future and win the battle from thousands of miles away, causing huge losses to the Unard Eagle's troops. For nearly a year, the Unard Eagle had to retreat again and again, retreating deep into the grassland.
At this moment, Unard Eagle really wanted to cry out to the heavens, "Why are you so unfair? Why can't you let the people of the grassland live a life of wealth and honor like the people of Dasheng?" Unard Eagle's heart was filled with resentment and resentment.
At the same time, the imperial city, thousands of miles away, was suffering an unprecedented crisis.
The first one to discover that something was wrong was Lan Qingwu. Every day, the Second Prince and the Seventh Prince would report to Lan Qingwu on matters concerning the Third Prince's and the Fourth Prince's mansions. After the Second Prince said as usual that nothing had happened, the Seventh Prince said a few more words. Because he had a lot of opinions about the Third Prince, he paid special attention to the Third Prince's mansion. He inadvertently mentioned that the Third Prince had been very picky about the food in the past two or three days. A prisoner was so picky about the food that he made the old man who delivered the food come four or five times a day.
When Lan Qingwu heard this, she immediately frowned, she realized something was wrong.
Lan Qingwu's expression turned serious. "Have your people keep a close eye on the Third Queen's Mansion and the Fourth Prince's Mansion. See if there are more people coming to their mansions these days than usual."
At this time, the Dasheng army was winning victory after victory on the border. If nothing unexpected happened, the Shenwu Emperor would soon return victorious. Those with ulterior motives might choose to launch a surprise attack when everyone was relaxed! If something went wrong in the imperial city at this time, it would be a real injustice!
The Second Prince bowed in agreement, but remained hesitant. "Mother, isn't this a bit hasty? They're just serving food!"
Lan Qingwu looked at the loyal yet indecisive Second Prince and said, "We've all become a little lax right now. Your father will soon be returning to the Imperial City, and we've all grown weary from defending it for so long. Someone with ulterior motives will surely take advantage of this opportunity to stir up trouble! I know you're a good boy, and I can't bear to monitor and investigate my brothers, but you must not let your guard down these few days. If there are any noticeable changes, we'll be ready to mobilize our troops!"
The Second Prince's expression changed: "Mother, is it so serious?"
Lan Qingwu said solemnly, "It's better to take precautions before it happens! I hope I'm just overthinking it!"
