Under the bright moonlight,

The man asked in a low voice, "What happens after a short while? What if our people are also confused?"

Josie: "..." Of course not.

According to the timeline of the original article, his mission has been completed, but he did not send out flares just to confuse the opponent and to reduce his own casualties on the battlefield.

As for why it took so long to save the host, it was because someone was causing trouble.

But I couldn't tell him any of this.

She thought about it for a moment, and then said lightly,

"If our people are also deceived, then... shouldn't we find out if we go check it out?

The most dangerous place is the safest. Who would have thought that His Royal Highness the Prince who escaped would return again?

Moreover, in a few days my injuries will be fine, and even if I am discovered, I can escape with you."

After explaining, Qiao Xi breathed out secretly.

Finally things have come full circle.

But after a while, just as Qiao Xi had made up, the people who were following them withdrew.

The two of them were afraid of the other party's reaction, so they didn't dare to stop and returned to the pit. After disguising the only exit, they lay on the ground exhausted.

…

"Tell me, who betrayed us?" Qi Anze asked softly.

Qiao Xi: "..." It was your love-minded mother who betrayed you, and it was your power-loving father who wanted you to death. I know, do I dare to say it?

When he didn't hear an answer, the man said to himself,

"I grew up with Prince Rui since childhood. His mother died early. My mother raised him and treated him better than me."

"...Maybe we made a mistake. That person was not King Rui, but someone with a similar figure." Qiao Xi thought of a lame excuse and said perfunctorily.

There followed a long silence.

Later, Qiao Xi was really too sleepy. He stared at the host with a confused look on his face and slowly closed his eyes.

…

…

"woke up."

Qiao Xi moved his nose and slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at the man eating chicken drumsticks in front of me, I suddenly woke up.

Wherever he was sad or confused, it was all hallucination. Looking at the only chicken leg left in the man's hand,

She suddenly felt that he said those words yesterday on purpose, to make her fall asleep on purpose.

I really enjoyed eating the only chicken leg.

The man raised the corners of his lips, as if he heard her silent accusation, and took out another bag of things from his arms.

"I bought it with the old man who took us in, and there are two more."

The girl smiled when she saw the food.

…

General Yuchi did not keep them waiting for too long. The news of Xilong's defeat had already spread back to the city.

Qi Anze looked at the tangled look on the girl's face who had come back from inquiring about the news, and asked doubtfully, "General Yuchi, did you lose?"

Josie shook his head, "I have two pieces of news here, one good and one bad. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Qi Anze: "Okay."

"We won."

Qi Anze paused for a moment, then asked, "Where's the bad one?"

Qiao Xi: "...You are now wanted by the whole city, and because they were defeated, they seem to regard you as the only talisman that can avoid compensation."

Qi Anze: "..."

Qiao Xi leaned against the wall and looked at the entrance of the cave. It was not very safe here. There was no part of the city-wide manhunt in the original text. Now it is equivalent to starting a dungeon mission.

‘Escape’

…

"Actually, this is not bad news."

"ah?"

Qiao Xi was still thinking about waiting until dark to see if there was any dog ​​hole or something under the city wall that he could crawl out of. When he suddenly heard this statement, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Before, they might have wanted to kill me, but now they won't. Only the living prince can be exchanged, right?"

When Qiao Xi heard his analysis, he nodded stupidly. That was the truth.

"Then if we take the initiative to make peace, will it be safe?"

Qiao Xi: "..." What kind of trick is this?

After finally winning, you still want to make peace without raising any conditions?

…

Qi Anze seemed to have made up his mind and appeared directly under the eyes of the Xilong soldiers with his head held high.

Perhaps because he was still useful, they were not turned away, but were quickly invited into the big tent.

Of course, only Qi Anze was invited in.

Qiao Xi looked at the soldiers around her who were eyeing her with eager eyes, and secretly moved her arms. Feeling that her Qinggong had recovered, she planned to lead her men out immediately.

But after waiting for a while, not only was there no fighting inside, but laughter could also be heard.

Qiao Xi: "..." The host will definitely not give up on seizing the throne in order to survive.

…

"Come here, send flowers to the Prince of Qi State out of the city."

"Your Highness, we must be the best allies." The young prince and general of Xilong smiled and sent the people out, and also sent people to lead two batches of horses for them.

With a confused expression on his face, Qiao Xi stared at the three people who were chatting happily and parted reluctantly, and stood frozen in place.

"Let's go." Qi Anze gently took her hand and helped her onto the horse.

…

…

After leaving Xilong and reaching the territory of Huaqi Kingdom, Qiao Xi asked with a look on his face asking for advice,

"Host, what did you say that made their attitude change like this?"

"Actually, it's nothing," the man said after a pause.

"I just want to tell them that I am the only crown prince of Huaqi Kingdom, and the future leader of Huaqi Kingdom will definitely pass the throne to me."

"Then, I told them my thoughts on trade between the two countries."

"They... agreed?"

Qiao Xi didn't believe it. The enemy country that was clamoring for annexation before was now shaking hands and making peace because of a prince's trade plan?

"You don't understand. This is a battlefield. All wars are for profit. As long as they find what they want, they can talk."

Qiao Xi nodded understandingly.

General Yuchi was so excited when he saw them coming back that he shed tears on the spot.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of other soldiers, Qi Anze shouted loudly.

"General Yuchi has worked hard, and all the officers and men have worked hard. I will ask for credit from Your Majesty."

Accompanied by bursts of cheers from the soldiers, Qi Anze led the tearful General Yuchi into the tent.

"Thank you for your hard work, General Yuchi."

Others didn't know, but he, the general, knew what kind of risks his Highness the Crown Prince had taken to come back, and spies had already come to report the city-wide manhunt in Xilong.

"Okay, General, this matter is over, let's not mention it for now," Qi Anze patted his shoulder comfortingly, "Does the emperor have any instructions on this matter?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty hopes that peace can be negotiated." General Yuchi said softly.

Logically speaking, only the losing side can make peace, and since His Highness the Crown Prince risked his life for this battle, he didn't dare to look at His Highness the Crown Prince's face.

Although Qiao Xi next to him knew the script, he was still angry.
