Chapter 358 Narrow Pass

Though Jiang Zuo Wang wanted to refuse, the voice that echoed in his mind from time to time made him agree to the matter almost unconsciously.

After drawing a detailed map, Jiang Zuo Wang fell into confusion, unsure of what he was doing.

The prince, whose face had just been slapped, remained silent as he looked at the bewildered man before him, lowering his head.

Back then, it was under this man's persuasion that he had mistakenly lost the most crucial checkpoint.

Now, seeing someone else fall for the same trick, he felt uneasy but helpless.

"Could it be that you still miss your emperor? You should know that since you fell to this state, he has never sent anyone to look for you. Why are you still working so hard for him? I advise you to prepare yourself and welcome the things I have prepared for you."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving the man with a face full of pain.

After successfully coaxing the route from Jiang Zuo Wang, the Xiongnu woman led her team and quickened their pace. Now, she had her own plans. However, she didn't know that her most trusted brother had long become a puppet. After all, what happened back then was merely told to him in letters. He had no idea what the actual situation was.

As they continued forward, they discovered an unexpected situation. Many corpses had appeared out of nowhere along the way, making them feel anxious.

"Could it be that they pushed through Shimen Pass and came straight here?"

The possibility made everyone present worried. Just as they were wondering what was going on, they heard the sound of fighting ahead.

As they rode their horses quickly, the scene ahead came into view.

Two groups of Xiongnu soldiers were engaged in a fierce battle, leaving the newly arrived reinforcements feeling absurd.

"Come and help! The Western Prince is trying to rebel!"

Hearing this, the troops in the rear instantly became alert.

After a fast horse rushed forward and cut down the rebels, the rest of the troops breathed a sigh of relief.

"Luckily you arrived in time. The prince has completely betrayed us. He has become a dog raised by Jiang Chen."

Hearing this news, many people present were filled with doubt. They were unwilling to believe what they were hearing, but the situation before their eyes forced them to believe that everything was as hopeless as they said.

"Hurry! If I'm not mistaken, he has already led Jiang Chen's army towards the royal court. If we are any slower, we'll be in big trouble."

Upon learning that her brother was in danger, the Xiongnu princess, who had been leisurely just moments before, immediately revealed her true nature and led everyone forward at a rapid pace.

When they arrived at the front, they saw the chaotic battle. Realizing that this was not a joke, the princess, who had always been calm, was now extremely flustered.

Now, her brother was her only remaining blood relative. If anything happened to him, she would never forgive those who caused it.

"Jiang Chen, I want you dead!"

After learning that these issues were possibly caused by Jiang Chen's arrangements, Jiang Zuo Wang felt confused. This Xiongnu invasion was completely beyond their control. Therefore, even if Jiang Chen had foreseen it, he couldn't have arranged things so perfectly, not to mention that Jiang Chen had never had any contact with these Xiongnu in recent years.

But recalling Jiang Chen's recent behavior, Jiang Zuo Wang couldn't help but have an absurd thought. Jiang Chen had been hiding all these years, with the purpose of deceiving everyone in order to achieve his current goal.

Thinking about this possibility, Jiang Zuo Wang began to feel extremely uneasy. No wonder Jiang Chen could easily see through his previous preparations.

Seeing the man beside him who seemed determined to fight Jiang Chen to the death, Jiang Zuo Wang couldn't help but have an idea.

"All of this must be Jiang Chen's doing. Although he has been pretending to be crazy and foolish in the court all these years, I think he probably foresaw these things long ago, so he has been using this method to deceive us. We have been terribly fooled by him."

"Judging from the current situation, Jiang Chen probably wants to destroy everything of the Xiongnu in order to prepare for his next plan."

His confident appearance made the people around him believe what he said.

The people who were rushing forward also realized the seriousness of the matter and accelerated their pace.

When they arrived at the royal court, they saw a terrifying battle inside.

Seeing the Xiongnu royal court guards retreating steadily, Bao Qimeng led his men to charge forward without saying a word, quickly cutting a bloody path.

When they rushed all the way forward, they only saw the khan lying on the throne, already lifeless.

Seeing the dagger stabbed into his brother's waist, Bao Qimeng became hysterical.

"Jiang Chen, I want you to pay for my brother's life!"

At this moment, Bao Qimeng had forgotten everything that might have caused these problems. Now, he only wanted to avenge his brother as soon as possible.

However, he didn't notice that a pair of eyes were watching them silently from the shadows.

And the owner of these eyes was none other than Mei Pengfei, the one whom the khan once trusted the most.

When the Western Prince led his men here, Mei Pengfei had already felt the threat. Especially the khan's recent actions made him feel afraid. He didn't want to keep such a hidden danger by his side.

Therefore, he came up with this plan to use the wolves to devour the tigers. As long as the Xiongnu's hatred for Jiang Chen could be stirred up, many things would become much simpler.
