The current "Rebel Army Small City" is indeed powerful.
However, there isn't a single "Nascent Soul cultivator" in the entire "Rebel Army Faction"!
Asking them to deploy troops to aid "Prince Mu's City," which is being besieged by "Imperial Nascent Soul Generals."
Heh, no one would be foolish enough to do such a thing, right!
Prince Mu didn't even have time for fake crying anymore. He cursed himself as an idiot, his mind racing to find a way to salvage the situation.
Little did he know, "Liu Xiu'er" gave him no chance.
"Liu Xiu'er" was never a naive, innocent male lead. He was a "cheat," a chosen one favored and cherished by the "Great Will of Heaven and Earth." He immediately sensed that Prince Mu had issues, big issues.
"Liu Xiu'er" stared intently, his gaze as sharp as a hawk's, fixed on Prince Mu.
"Why do you know the details of the Imperial Army so clearly?"
"With your pathetic intelligence-gathering abilities, how could you possibly know the name of the commander of the Heze Stronghold and his cultivation realm?"
"And finally, if Prince Mu's City is already completely surrounded by the Imperial Army, how did you manage to come out for reinforcements?"
These three questions, each sharper than the last, were like "shrimp paste and pork hearts," no, "killing people's hearts."
Prince Mu was stunned by the questions.
He stammered, trying to force out an explanation.
But the words got stuck in his throat, completely unable to be spoken.
How could he explain?
Say that "Prince Mu's City" wasn't actually besieged, and I ran out early to ask for help!
Well, that would make even less sense!
If "Prince Mu's City" wasn't besieged, how would you know the "Imperial Army" was coming to suppress it, and even know it was an army led by Li Dian, the commander of the Heze Stronghold?
Contradictory!
There was no way to justify it!
"Uh..."
"Ah..."
"Um..."
Prince Mu grunted and sputtered, unable to articulate anything coherent for a long time.
However, he sweated profusely, the cold sweat dripping from his body onto the guards who were carrying him.
The guards, soaked by the clammy sweat, got goosebumps all over. It was as awkward as it could get!
The guards couldn't help but squirm, their current appearance mirroring Prince Mu's internal turmoil.
"Heavenly Ace" Gao Chao also saw through the deception. He glared and roared.
"Old Turtle, have you colluded with the Imperial lackeys to set a trap and frame my master?"
Prince Mu, already terrified, was nearly scared to death by Gao Chao's roar.
He trembled violently.
Bang!
The guards supporting Prince Mu couldn't hold him, and he fell heavily to the ground.
At this point, Prince Mu no longer cared about his image. He loudly begged for mercy.
"Imperial Son-in-Law, please believe me, I am loyal to you... I have shed blood for the Great Xia Dynasty, I have contributed to the Great Xia Dynasty... Imperial Son-in-Law, you cannot falsely accuse me..."
"Falsely accuse? Hmph! Not at all! You're clearly guilty and acting like a thief! Master, your subordinate strongly suggests we drag him out and behead him!"
Cao Zhi couldn't stand it anymore. He stepped forward with killing intent, shouting at Prince Mu.
"Only by eliminating such scum can our Rebel Army defeat the wicked Imperial court and bring peace for all eternity!"
Cao Zhi truly lived up to his reputation as a prodigy nurtured by the "Dragon Tiger Heavenly Sect." His words were eloquent. With that, he elevated the internal strife of the Rebel Army to the realm of national righteousness, truly a sublimation!
In the "Assembly Hall," the high-ranking officials of the Rebel Army were instantly stirred up, their emotions running high.
Especially the original rebel generals, who had suffered at Prince Mu's hands to varying degrees. Now was the time for revenge.
"Execute him!"
"Kill the traitor!"
"For the future of the Rebel Army, kill him!"
...
For a time, the entire "Assembly Hall" echoed with shouts of killing.
Prince Mu was filled with despair.
"Everyone, don't misunderstand. I really haven't betrayed the Rebel Army. I can swear a solemn oath. I swear now: if I betray the Rebel Army, may I be eternally childless..."
Prince Mu's City.
Mu Ma, injured by heavenly lightning, was recuperating in bed.
He looked dejectedly at his scorched lower body, on the verge of tears.
It was over!
His grand ambition to marry Princess Yin Lihua had ended before it even began...
Life is too tragic. Is there anything more tragic than this?
Rumble!
Another bolt of heavenly lightning struck, for no apparent reason.
This lightning bolt precisely hit Mu Ma's lower body again.
The same familiar formula, the same familiar taste.
A scent of "roasted little bird" slowly wafted through the air.
"Ahhhh..."
The pitiable Mu Ma let out earth-shattering screams.
Last time it was five-tenths cooked, this time it was thoroughly cooked!
...
Rebel Army Small City.
In the "Assembly Hall."
The "punishment" of Prince Mu was still in full swing.
Emotions were running high!
Everyone was shouting for his execution and public display!
Prince Mu, at this moment, was cowering like a quail, trembling.
He had never been so pathetic!
But he didn't dare to resist.
How could he resist? He was merely a "Golden Core early stage cultivator," surrounded by over a dozen cultivators at the "Golden Core late stage" and "Golden Core perfect stage" levels, all glaring at him. If he made the slightest move, he would be instantly pulverized into dust.
Tragic, so tragic!
Prince Mu believed he was doomed that day and closed his eyes in despair.
At this moment, "Liu Xiu'er's" voice faintly sounded.
"Old Mu, you truly haven't colluded with the Imperial court?"
Prince Mu knew who was speaking. "Liu Xiu'er" had no intention of pursuing him to the death. He immediately exclaimed with excitement.
"Imperial Son-in-Law, please believe me, I truly have not colluded with the Imperial court. I can swear, a solemn oath!"
Saying this, Prince Mu prepared to bring out that "childless" oath again.
He did this without considering the feelings of a certain "young prince" in "Prince Mu's City," Mu Ma, who wished to remain anonymous.
That "young prince," Mu Ma, was sniffing the thoroughly roasted "little bird" aroma in the air, his mouth watering in despair, no, his eyes watering in despair...
Seeing Prince Mu about to swear another oath, a sharp glint flashed in "Liu Xiu'er's" eyes. He waved his hand and said solemnly.
"No need to swear! Old Mu, you are also a veteran official of the Rebel Army. I am willing to trust you one last time. I will now dispatch troops to rescue Prince Mu's City. I hope you live up to my trust!"
Upon hearing this, Prince Mu was ecstatic.
When mountains and rivers are exhausted, and one doubts there is a path, a village emerges from the dark by a flowering tree.
He thought his plan had failed, but unexpectedly, this "Liu Xiu'er" was so easily fooled and still took the bait!
Heh heh heh...
Gao Chao, Cao Zhi, and the others were greatly surprised, and they wanted to persuade "Liu Xiu'er."
However, "Liu Xiu'er," in a rare display of "dictatorship," waved his hand and said domineeringly.
"No more nonsense. My mind is made up. It is decided!"
