Great General Wei did relax a lot during the period when he was injured. But it didn’t mean that he was clueless about the war because he still paid a lot of attention to the war. He also helped with the strategy and watched over the war today.After the soldiers retreated, he wanted to rest after talking with his son.
So, how did Long Qian Xing suddenly bring a prince to his door?
Great General Wei glanced at Long Qian Xing who was making an innocent look in his direction. “The second prince?”
“Based on the token, it should be,” Long Qian Xing replied.
He also didn’t expect that he and Nan Hua would encounter the second prince when they went out to eat.
What should have been an ordinary outing turned into them catching the enemy’s prince and possibly ending the war.
It was quite remarkable.
“Do you want to use him to threaten the Emperor?” Great General Wei asked.
“No. I don’t think it’ll be useful.” Long Qian Xing shook his head.
For that kind of emperor who could sacrifice his own son back then, Long Qian Xing doubted that Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor would have family affection.
In the war between Fei Yang Kingdom and Fan Yi Kingdom in the past, the main reason for that war was because of Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor’s first son and the crown prince at that time tried to assassinate Emperor Yang Zhou.*
This triggered a war.
Even though Fei Yang Kingdom was busy fighting another kingdom at that time, they still send Long Qian Xing to deal with Fan Yi Kingdom.
It was also because of this war that Long Qian Xing’s name gain more fame on the frontline. Back then, in order to end the war, Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor chose to sacrifice his first son and presented the head to Long Qian Xing. Long Qian Xing still remember that scene vividly because he knew very well that to be so cruel like Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor, it was very rare. But Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor also faced difficult choice.
It was either him giving up his son or to surrender Fan Yi Kingdom and made many people suffer.
He chose to sacrifice his son.
Long Qian Xing didn’t know whether Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor did it because he cared for the people under Fan Yi Kingdom or because of his selfishness. At that time, he only knew that the reason to end the war had appeared.
Because of that, Long Qian Xing accepted and then retreated.
Fei Yang Kingdom was still too busy with other wars at that time.
But now that there were only two kingdoms left aside from Fei Yang Kingdom, there was no way Fei Yang Kingdom would retreat easily like that.
And through this war, Long Qian Xing could see that Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor cared more for his own safety than the people. So even if the second prince was in their hands, Long Qian Xing doubted that he would be of much use.
“Why did you bring him to me?” Great General Wei asked.
He also expected this answer from Long Qian Xing. After all, Great General Wei had seen that Fan Yi Kingdom Emperor was truly a ruthless man who didn’t seem to care about anything else.
Besides, it was not like he has been on this frontline for a few months but a few years.
So the question now was what to do with the second prince of Fan Yi Kingdom in front of him. “I hand him over for interrogation. As part of the Imperial Family, he might know more about the few people who are sent to Fei Yang Kingdom before,” Long Qian Xing replied calmly.
In the separate letter from Song Chuan, Long Qian Xing heard from him that some of these people were the few people who arrived in Fei Yang Kingdom during the time when the first prince of Fan Yi Kingdom sent his men to do assassination.
Who could mix people with the first prince’s men?
Only the other princes or other ministers in the first prince’s side would do this. But since the first prince fell and these people were still being used, it was either the ministers switched side or they came from other princes from the very first place.
The second prince is also a prince.
And he had the highest chance to sit on the throne, so the possibility of him knowing the one who did it was not low.
“Okay. Leave it to me.” Great General Wei nodded thoughtfully.
So in the middle of the night, the scream from the second prince could be heard from time to time. If not for the fact that they purposely picked a secluded place to extract the questions, it would definitely disturb their sleep.
And when Great General Wei knew the truth…
The ending for the second prince was definitely not good.
No one in Fan Yi Kingdom had realized that their second prince was gone, and when the
morning comes, the war will distract them once more. Who would care about a mere prince?
—
<Nan Hua’s side>
Nan Hua waited until Long Qian Xing was done with the conversation with Great General Wei before coming over.
“It’s done.” Long Qian Xing nodded and walked to Nan Hua. “Do you want to do it yourself?”
He knew that General Jun’s method of interrogation was known to be cruel. During the time he cooperated with Nan Hua, Long Qian Xing had seen it.
But if he had to be honest, he didn’t feel much.
Perhaps he was cold blooded or it was because he was used to it that he didn’t think that there was anything wrong with Nan Hua’s action.
They were on the battlefield.
Being kind to the enemy is the same as seeking their own death.
This was the truth that Long Qian Xing had known for a long time.
