The emperor was far away in the capital. He was not well informed about the matters on the border, but the prince of the central empire was different. He was near the border.

Before for the face of the Hua family, he had abandoned his plan to encircle Xiao Tianyao, but it doesn’t mean he will let go of Xiao Tianyao.

Although Xuanyuan Zhi didn’t trouble Xiao Tianyao these days, he didn’t give up monitoring Xiao Tianyao. After learning that Xiao Tianyao had left the barracks due to important matters, Xuanyuan Zhi knew that the opportunity was coming.

At the entire barracks of Eastern Country, no one was his opponent except Xiao Tianyao. Xiao Tianyao was not in the barracks, which means he doesn’t need to worry about anything, even if the Jinwuwei Army was present.

It’s better to kill all the Jinwuwei Army so that Xiao Tianyao won’t have anyone to help him. Once that happened, can Xiao Tianyao still defeat him once he and the black-armored guards join forces?

Although Jinwuwei Army was very powerful, it was only in the eyes of the northern, southern, and western countries. The black-armored guards and the Jinwuwei Army fought. Although the Jinwuwei Army did a good job, they were still defeated in the end. What’s more, Xiao Tianyao was not in the army at the moment, the Jinwuwei Army won’t be that confident. It won’t be that difficult to destroy them.

Although the southern and northern countries retreated. Xuanyuan Zhi believed that as long as he appeared and destroyed the Jinwuwei Army, these two countries would definitely show up themselves.

After carefully calculating all the possibilities, Xuanyuan Zhi felt that the more he thought about it, the more he couldn’t miss this opportunity. The news that he was defeated by Xiao Tianyao could not be concealed and might even spread to the Central Empire. If he won’t kill Xiao Tianyao, how could he keep the dignity of the eldest prince?

As for the future attitude of the Hua Family?

Xuanyuan Zhi certainly wouldn’t worry about it. After Hua Jinrong left, he found out that the Hua family indeed owe Xiao Wangfu a favor, but they owed a favor to Xiao Wangfei.

The Hua family was not friends with Xiao Tianyao. It was just a personal relationship. When he killed Xiao Tianyao and his wife who else will the Hua Family owed a favor? The Hua family would definitely not argue with him, the eldest prince, for dead people, right?

The aristocratic family has always weighed interests, not personal feelings. After Xiao Tianyao dies, the Hua family would speak for Xiao Tianyao out of morals, but would not choose to be his enemy.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xuanyuan Zhi no longer hesitated. The same night, he ordered his soldiers to march, leaving only a hundred black-armored guards to watch over the mineral veins. He took the rest to the place where the eastern army was camping.

After Liu Bai was injured, the responsibility for monitoring the movements of all enemy parties fell into Mo Qingfeng’s hands, but Mo Qingfeng only had the Mo family in his hands. He couldn’t call Xiao Tianyao’s shadow guards, so what he could do was limited. Mo Qingfeng only received the news when the black-armored guards were only a hundred miles away from them.

“Hurry up, go and invite Jiu Gongzi over.” As soon as Mo Qingfeng received the news, he ran to the camp to find Lin Chujiu, but only halfway through did he remember that Lin Chujiu was in the wounded camp at this time.

At this moment, Lin Chujiu still has a patient banding the wound, but suddenly, someone rushed in and shouted, “Jiu Gongzi, Mo Gongzi have something important to report.” Lin Chujiu didn’t immediately get up. She simply turned her head and said: “I see.”

Without being affected, she bandaged the last patient. Lin Chujiu stood up, ignoring his sore waist, and turned around and said, “Where is Mo Gongzi?”

The soldier was stunned because of Lin Chujiu’s calmness. When he heard Lin Chujiu’s question, he hesitated for a while and said: “Mo Gongzi is waiting for you in Xiao Wangye’s camp. He said that there is a very important matter. Please come over quickly.”
