Shen Zilong took the water bag handed over by the deputy general and took a sip of water. He looked up at the setting sun in the western sky and leaned against a large rock behind him.
After escaping all the way from Yangguan City to here, even the horse was exhausted and panting. Of course he was tired too.
"General, how are your injuries?" the deputy general asked with concern.
"Not bad!" Shen Zilong took a breath.
His internal strength is not low at all, what's more, Shen Fengchu didn't use all his strength against him.
"I didn't expect that His Highness the Crown Prince is actually a master. He is so secretive that even the general has been kept in the dark for so many years!" the deputy general sighed softly.
"Yes!" Shen Zilong raised his hand to wipe away the water stains on his lips, "I don't know how my adoptive father is doing now!"
Thinking of Shen Zilong's last look at him, Shen Zilong's heart tightened.
Now that I think about it, my adoptive father really wanted to leave everything to him. What about him? What did he do?
He actually attacked his adoptive father, what a bastard he is!
Shen Zilong was in deep self-blame.
"Humph!" the deputy general snorted softly, "General, don't worry, you haven't lost yet!"
"What do you mean?" Shen Zilong glanced sideways and looked at him in confusion.
"Even if Shen Fengchu is a master, so what, will the Northwest Army obey him?" The deputy general smiled coldly, "As long as Shen Fengchu dies, the northwest will still belong to you, General!"
Shen Zilong stared at his face, his thick eyebrows furrowed, "How do you know that your adoptive father will die?"
"The venom of the Prairie Black Tiger Snake will kill anyone as long as it stays in the body for more than a cup of tea!" the deputy general sneered.
Snake venom?
Shen Zilong looked at the deputy general's sinister face and reached out to grab his collar, "Did you poison my gun?"
"General, why should you be angry? I am doing this for the general's good. If I don't poison him, will he die? If he doesn't die, how can you win the throne of the northwest?" There was no fear on the lieutenant's face, "As long as the general gets it. If we use the northwest as our base, we can take one step closer to annexing the world. We can control the whole country of Daning and dominate the world. General, don’t you really want to do that?"
Shen Zilong's hand holding his collar froze slightly.
"General, think about it carefully. With Shen Fengchu's deep scheming, is it possible for him to tolerate you? Why would he give everything to you and not give anything to his own son? The general really believes that there is such a person in this world." Father?" The deputy general snorted, "As the saying goes, there is no husband without poison. Think about it, whether it is the prince, the Emperor of Daning Ning Tianyuan, or the founding emperor of Daning, which one of them has not stepped on the bones of countless people? The throne? Our Northwest Army made great contributions to Emperor Ning, so what, did Ning Tianyuan ever really trust the prince?"
Shen Zilong held his hand and let go completely.
These are the things that he has been unwilling to accept over the years.
He had always believed that Zhongchang was capable enough to be the emperor, and he had never understood why Zhongzhong would cling to this barren land and sacrifice his life for the emperor when it was clear that Ning Tianyuan had no trust in Northwest.
"Is he really dead?" Shen Zilong asked softly.
"I'm sure that the prince is dead at this moment!" said the deputy general.
"So what? Now, the Wild Wolf Group is at Yangguan Camp!" Shen Fengchu sighed, "What can I do to fight with Shen Fengchu?"
The deputy general sneered, "Has the general forgotten the 50,000 elite soldiers on the northwest frontier?"
