Chapter 569 Opportunity
Ye Qing'an was completely unaware that she had touched upon the Crown Prince's long-hidden sore spot and anger, and only lowered her eyes: "This humble woman was merely reminding the Crown Prince of a few words, after all..."
"When I was in Wangjing, I was falsely accused of causing the deaths of Lord Gu and Madam Gu. This time, I am joining the army because His Majesty hopes that I can make meritorious contributions and then shift the blame for the deaths of Lord Gu and Madam Gu onto the rebels."
"But if we lose this battle, this matter will probably..."
Ye Qing'an gave a bitter smile: "This humble woman is ignorant of military strategy and tactics, has never been on the battlefield, and has limited experience. If I have said anything wrong, I hope Your Highness will forgive me. This humble woman will take her leave now..."
Just as Ye Qing'an was about to take her leave, she saw the Crown Prince suddenly stand up, walk towards her, and grab her arm.
Ye Qing'an's gaze fell on the Crown Prince's hand gripping her arm: "Your Highness, what is this...?"
"You really want to win? Do you think those vultures were sent by the Emperor to spy on our camp?"
“…Yes.” Ye Qing’an hesitated slightly, but still nodded obediently.
The prince nodded: "I can send people to keep an eye on those vultures, and even send men every day to wait and shoot them, but..."
"Those vultures have been circling above our camp for so long, yet no one has noticed or shot them down, which shows that the officers in the camp don't take this matter seriously."
“I need to convince them that if those vultures really had something going on, that would be one thing, but it’s just your guess. If I do that, how will you repay me?”
Ye Qing'an almost laughed at the Crown Prince's words.
for her?
Should we repay him?
"Doesn't Your Highness want to win?" Ye Qing'an asked, puzzled.
"I do want to." The prince pursed his lips. "But as I said, that vulture might not necessarily be the problem."
This is strange logic.
"Then, Your Highness, how would you like me to repay you?"
The Crown Prince's gaze fell on Ye Qing'an, and he licked his lips. He had intended to say that he wanted Ye Qing'an to repay him with her body, but...
Thinking of what happened on the road a few days ago, Ye Qingan still hasn't forgotten it. Bringing it up now seems a bit unwise.
The Crown Prince lowered his eyes: "The three of us have already discussed the current situation in the camp. I have no one I can use right now. So I would like to ask you for help."
Ye Qing'an is a Supreme Being, but she is also a woman, and one who has never been on the battlefield. He can take this opportunity to test whether Ye Qing'an is capable and whether it is worth the risk for him.
Furthermore... if this camp is full of Yi Moxu's spies, then he really wouldn't dare use a single person in the camp. Then he'd have no one left to use.
Ye Qing'an slightly clenched her hands, which were hidden in her sleeves: "However, I am a woman. Although I have been in this camp for less than a day, I can see that all the generals in this camp look down on me."
The Crown Prince laughed, completely ignoring the thought that he had just regretted Ye Qing'an being a woman. He simply comforted her, saying, "What's wrong with being a woman? There are countless examples of women who are just as capable as men. As long as you show your strength and can crush those men outside with your power, you can shut them up."
Ye Qing'an bit her lower lip lightly: "Okay, I can do it."
As Ye Qing'an spoke, she seemed to remember something and gave a bitter smile: "Actually, from childhood to adulthood, I have suffered a lot because I am a woman. Because I am a woman, my mother was disliked by the Ye family. Because I am a woman, after that incident a few years ago, I was attacked by rumors and gossip so much that I could hardly lift my head. And because I am a woman, even now that I have become a Supreme Being, when outsiders mention me, they will say, 'It's a pity that you are a woman, you can't do anything.'"
“Your Highness is right. I should show my true strength and shut up those who look down on me and bully me because I am a woman.”
Ye Qing'an turned to look at the Crown Prince, her gaze firm and seemingly radiant: "I beg Your Highness to give me a chance, a chance to prove myself to everyone."
The crown prince's eyes flickered slightly: "What kind of opportunity do you want?"
Ye Qing'an pursed his lips: "Since the goal is to shut up the other generals in the camp, then naturally we have to start with leading troops into battle. In the last two times, everyone in the camp should have seen my strength in Xuanling Arts. However, being good at Xuanling Arts alone is not very useful. I alone cannot withstand thousands of troops."
"Therefore, I want the Crown Prince to give me an opportunity to participate in the formulation of tactics and personally lead troops into battle."
Ye Qing'an raised his head slightly: "I only need one chance. Given the current situation in the camp, with repeated defeats, I might as well give it a try. If I fail once and return defeated, I will never mention this matter again."
If all Ye Qing'an wants is a chance, then it doesn't seem to have any impact on him.
After all, as Ye Qing'an said, given the current situation in the camp, with repeated defeats, it wouldn't hurt to give it a try.
The crown prince's mind raced for a moment: "I can give you a chance, but..."
"But I won't let anyone else know about this. I won't tell anyone."
The Crown Prince looked up at Ye Qing'an and said, "I will give you the opportunity. Tell me your tactical plans directly, and I will treat them as my own orders. When you go to war, you will lead the troops, but every order you issue will be issued through me."
Seeing the confusion on Ye Qing'an's face, the Crown Prince explained, "You just said that the generals in the camp discriminate against you and do not respect you."
"If you devise tactics and lead troops into battle, they will certainly ignore you, and your orders will be useless if they are not carried out."
"Through me, I can directly eliminate anyone who doesn't act or who disobeys."
"When the time comes, if we win that battle, I will tell the soldiers in the camp afterwards that the battle was entirely under your command and all the orders came from you."
"If we lose, then so be it."
The Crown Prince smiled and said, "This way, we can protect you to the greatest extent possible and prevent you from getting hurt."
That's absolutely true, very thoughtful.
Ye Qing'an looked up at the Crown Prince with a shy and timid expression, her face full of gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness. Your Highness has always thought of me. I will always remember your kindness."
The Crown Prince had such plans in mind, and seeing Ye Qing'an's performance, he felt even more pleased.
It's not a bad feeling to take advantage of someone and still make them grateful to tears.
