"What's going on?"
Yuwen Chenglong stared wide-eyed at Luo Cheng in disbelief.
Back when he was crippled by Pei Yuanqing's punch and left as a hostage in Dongdu, Luo Cheng wasn't like this.
The way he looks now is as if someone has dug up his ancestral graves.
"They all have Demon Orbs."
Lü Xiao rode his horse slowly.
What else could it be?
The only person in the world who could make Luo Cheng so angry is probably his good cousin Qin Qiong.
Speaking of which, the changes in the world are truly lamentable.
Lu Xiao still remembers that before he left Wagang, Qin Qiong was riding high and full of ambition.
When it comes to Qin Shubao, the "Little Mengchang," who in the world wouldn't give him a thumbs up?
Whether in the underworld or the legitimate world, among outlaws or government officials, he commands respect wherever he goes.
Which of these prominent figures like Shan Xiongxin wasn't his close friend?
Within Wagang Village, his word carried immense weight, and his prestige was extremely high.
But ever since Lü Xiao left, the timeline seems to have undergone some strange changes.
Qin Qiong was used to winning games when he had the upper hand.
From childhood to adulthood, with his pair of skilled bronze maces and the reputation of "Little Mengchang," he always had a smooth journey wherever he went.
But is there any such thing as a life with everything going smoothly?
When the tide turned against them, this Second Brother Qin completely revealed his fear.
One step wrong, step by step wrong.
First, he watched helplessly as Lü Xiao was ostracized from Wagang, and then he gradually turned against his former brothers.
When they came to their senses, the once highly respected Brother Qin had become a treacherous and disloyal sworn brother.
A reputation can take decades to build but only days to destroy.
At this moment, Luo Cheng was very depressed, harboring resentment towards Qin Qiong.
He felt like he would suffocate if he didn't speak out.
Finally, he spoke up and criticized Qin Qiong.
Although it's not good to talk badly about someone behind their back, especially his own cousin, he felt it was better than bottling it up.
"ha?"
When Yuwen Chenglong heard Luo Cheng's accusations, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
He opened his mouth wide, unable to close it for a long time, his face filled with disbelief.
"hey-hey……"
After a while, Yuwen Chenglong suddenly let out a strange laugh.
"I thought I, Yuwen Chenglong, was invincible on the path of being inhuman, but I never expected there would be someone even more valiant than me!"
When it comes to being inhuman, Yuwen Chenglong dares to say he's second to none.
But now Qin Qiong has arrived, and they really can go toe-to-toe with each other.
"It's good that the Prince of Beiping is alright."
After listening to Luo Cheng's accusations, Lü Xiao remained surprisingly calm.
What else can he say now that things have come to this?
Join Luo Cheng in cursing Qin Qiong?
no need.
From Wagang to Dongdu, he had long since seen through Qin Qiong's true nature.
If that young Mengchang was truly a righteous and chivalrous hero, he should have stood up and spoken a word of justice back in Wagang.
Instead of helping Wang Bodang, Xu Maogong, and others to ostracize him.
"Um."
Luo Cheng nodded, but the anger in his heart had not dissipated.
One day, he would have to go and ask Qin Qiong whether he had a heart or not.
Lü Xiao nodded, then suddenly cracked his whip and spurred his horse forward.
Amidst the howling wind, his voice came clearly: "Go and quell the rebels in Jianghuai first, then you can return to Beiping to visit your parents."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Luo Cheng looked at Lü Xiao's back, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes.
This person was not as sinister as Qin Qiong had described when they were in Beiping Prefecture.
Although his methods were ruthless, they also showed his straightforwardness.
"Hey, he even thanked us."
Yuwen Chenglong let out a strange laugh and spurred his horse to chase after Lü Xiao.
This prince of ours is truly formidable.
They had previously tamed that troublemaker Pei Yuanqing, and now Luo Cheng had appeared.
Aside from princesses being difficult to train, it seems there's no one in this world that a prince can't train.
Just as Lü Xiao led his army towards Jianghuai, another force was also heading in that direction.
Outside Wagang Village, Cheng Yaojin was leading his army, marching out of the village gate with great fanfare and high spirits.
With banners waving and drums beating, it was quite a magnificent sight.
"Old Cheng, isn't our place... a bit too shabby?"
You Junda, mounted on his horse, glanced back at the procession behind him, his face filled with embarrassment.
At most, there were eight hundred people, and they were lined up in a long, sluggish row. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought they were a group of refugees.
If this were to reach the Jianghuai region, would those rebels even give it a second glance?
"Nonsense!" Cheng Yaojin turned around abruptly, his face full of righteous indignation.
"Open your eyes wide and look carefully, this is an army of 80,000!"
"You can fool others, but don't fool yourself too."
Cheng Yaojin chuckled and pointed triumphantly to the largest flag in the formation: "Look closely, what does it say on that?"
Yu Junda looked in the direction he was pointing and saw that the banner had four large characters embroidered on it: "Eighty Thousand Army".
"By the way, Old You," Cheng Yaojin lowered his voice and leaned closer mysteriously, "when you go to Jianghuai this time, just remember a few words."
"How so?" You Junda also leaned in to cooperate.
Cheng Yaojin covered his face with his hand, chuckling slyly as he spoke, "We eat their food, drink their drinks, and play with their games, but we don't do any work for them! Hehehe..."
After hearing this, You Junda was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha! Old Cheng, you're the most shameless person in the world!"
"That's right!" Cheng Yaojin puffed out his chest triumphantly. "I, Cheng Yaojin, may not have any other skills, but my ability to be shameless is top-notch!"
The two men burst into laughter, drawing the attention of the 80,000-strong army behind them.
After laughing enough, Cheng Yaojin suddenly sighed, his smirk fading and revealing a rare hint of melancholy.
"I wonder how Lao Dan and Lao Wei are doing."
You Junda also stopped smiling and pondered, "Master Shan should be fine, but Old Wei is not so sure."
He couldn't help but shudder when he recalled Wei Zheng's words.
Cheng Yaojin nodded repeatedly: "Your concerns are not unfounded."
Old Wei's mouth is like a butcher's knife; I hope he can control himself and stay safe and sound.
Having said that, he rallied his spirits, wielding his great axe: "Let's go! Let's go enjoy the good life in Jianghuai!"
The 80,000-strong army marched majestically towards Jiangnan, banners fluttering and dust billowing.
Although the number of people was smaller, their momentum was no less than that of a real army of 80,000.
Meanwhile, Wei Zheng and Shan Xiongxin, whom Cheng Yaojin and You Junda were talking about, were in the Eastern Capital Imperial Palace.
It was not Yang Guang who received them, but Prince Yang You of Dai.
The imperial garden of the palace is filled with pavilions, towers, bridges, and flowing water, creating an elegant landscape.
Yang You stood with his hands behind his back in the pavilion, his back to the two men, his posture reserved.
