Chapter 237: Chapter 235: Fearless in the Face of Death_1

“Mr. Fang was wholeheartedly devoted to me. How could I not know? Mr. Fang could speak to me about anything…” said the Crown Prince.

“Although the Emperor has now established Your Highness as the Crown Prince, the current Emperor is suspicious and fickle. It is not wrong for Your Highness to be loyal to the Emperor as a son and a minister. But Your Highness is also the heir apparent and the future Emperor of Jin. Therefore, Your Highness must not be blindly loyal. While being loyal to the Emperor, you must also keep something in reserve for yourself. Now that General Bai has handed over the Bai Family Army to Your Highness, as long as you keep it firmly in your hands, even if the Emperor has second thoughts about the heir apparent in the future, he will have to reconsider.” Mr. Fang lowered his voice as he spoke to the Crown Prince.

This could be said to be treasonous. But since it came from Mr. Fang, whom the Crown Prince trusted deeply, the Crown Prince did not show the slightest sign of reproach.

Everyone has their own selfish motives. The Crown Prince admitted that he could not be as selfless as the Bai family, who only thought of their country and family and engraved integrity into their family rules.

Especially when faced with the supreme position, which prince wouldn’t desire it?

Mr. Fang’s words hit the Crown Prince’s heart. Before he ascended to that position, his title as Crown Prince remained uncertain. Especially since his father was in his prime, who knew if he might have more princes? Although the other princes were still young, it was hard to guarantee that his father wouldn’t hold on until the youngest of them grew up and then decide to make another one the heir apparent.

He still had to leave room for himself!

The Crown Prince nodded, “It now seems that the Huying Camp doesn’t need to be completely eradicated as Father ordered.”

It would be foolish not to use the brave and fierce warriors that were readily available and instead take the trouble to train a new batch.

“Exactly!” Mr. Fang nodded. “But it’s good that Your Highness is aware of this. If the Emperor knew, he might feel that Your Highness had rebellious intentions, which would be detrimental to Your Highness.”

Seeing the Crown Prince nod, Mr. Fang no longer spoke on this matter and smoothly changed the topic. “Now that the major affairs are settled, Your Highness should send Ren Shijie ahead to prepare for the auspicious omens event.”

That day, the Crown Prince wrote a memorial to the Emperor requesting commendation for Bai Qingyan and sent it back to Dadu City by fast horse. He hoped that when Bai Qingyan returned to Dadu City, she would see that he, the Crown Prince, had already requested commendation on her behalf and would be grateful and devoted to him from then on.

In a good mood, the Crown Prince had some simple chicken soup and millet porridge, then fell into a deep sleep. He only woke up when the sun was about to set. Hearing Shen Liangyu’s report that they had found nothing unusual on the bodies of those Jin death warriors, who appeared to be Jin people, but why they were with the Xiliang remained unknown. _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}

The Crown Prince remained silent for a long time. He then ordered Shen Liangyu to dispose of the bodies and said no more.

Shen Liangyu took his orders and left.

Though the Dong family’s death warriors were not the elite soldiers of the Huying Camp, to Shen Liangyu, they were brothers who had fought and lived together through blood and death.

Bai Qingyan, along with Bai Jinzhi and the Bai Family Army generals, buried the bodies of the Huying Camp’s elite soldiers and the Dong family’s death warriors beside the Jinghe River.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the vast and magnificent lands and mountains. The surging cloud sea was full of splendid colors.

Bai Qingyan, together with Bai Jinzhi, knelt and bowed three times, offering wine to pay homage to the heroic souls and thanked them for their selfless bravery, risking their lives to save Xiao Bai from the tiger’s mouth.

“Shen Liangyu, light a fire with some dry wood and branches, and report to the Crown Prince that the bodies of those Jin death warriors have been burned.” Bai Qingyan ordered.

“Yes!” Shen Liangyu got up and led people to pick up some dry branches.
