Sun Xingyang's expression changed when he heard the words "Prince Regent". Although he has been in this valley all year round, he has also heard the name "Prince Regent".
What they did was a capital crime for conspiracy to rebel. Why did the regent appear here?
He stared at Xiao Chengyi with some vigilance and asked, "Why is the regent here?"
Xiao Chengyi curled his lips and said: "The Sun family has surrendered to the imperial court. From now on, you will serve me."
Sun Xingyang was shocked. The Sun family defected to the imperial court? How is this possible?
He frowned and asked Sun Shurong: "Miss, is this true? Aren't we loyal to the young master? How could we defect to the imperial court?"
Sun Shurong said: "It's true. My brother is dead. My father has decided to join the imperial court. To show his sincerity, the regent has promised to marry me as his queen after he ascends the throne."
Sun Xingyang's pupils shrank sharply and he shook the hands hidden in his sleeves.
He asked: "Did my adoptive father also agree to this?"
Sun Shurong said: "Of course, the prince came today to see our Sun family army. You must not let him down."
Sun Xingyang's eyes were heavy, and he looked at Xiao Chengyi with dark eyes: "Don't worry, Miss. I will let my subordinates take the regent around. You go and have a rest first."
Sun Shurong was indeed tired from walking, and the military camp was full of old men, which was very boring, so she responded and warned: "Don't neglect the regent."
Sun Xingyang agreed respectfully, and then made a request: "Your Majesty, please."
Xiao Chengyi nodded slightly and followed him away. Sun Xingyang led the way and did not stop until he took him to a place where Sun Shurong could not see.
Xiao Chengyi asked him: "Aren't you going to show me around? Why don't you leave?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Sun Xingyang pulling out the sword from his waist and placing it on Xiao Chengyi's neck, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
Xiao Chengyi was not afraid, he smiled and asked: "The Major General wants to kill me because of Miss Sun, right?"
Sun Xingyang was sullen: "What kind of prince do you think you are, that you can cover up the sky with one hand? Shurong is mine, no one can try to snatch it from me."
Xiao Chengyi sighed: "Young General, you have misunderstood. It is not that I want to rob you, but that Sun Chengyu is rushing to marry his daughter to me."
"impossible."
Sun Xingyang shouted angrily: "My adoptive father clearly promised me that Shu Rong will be assigned to me after the matter is completed."
Xiao Chengyi clicked his tongue after hearing these words, shook his head and said, "It seems that the young general doesn't know anything."
Sun Xingyang asked with a puzzled look: "What do you mean?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "You have been taken advantage of by Sun Chengyu. After the incident, not only will he not marry his daughter to you, he will also kill you, because he originally planned to marry his daughter to Sun Shangwei."
Sun Xingyang scolded: "Nonsense, Sun Shangwei is Shu Rong's biological brother, how can they be husband and wife?"
Xiao Chengyi chuckled: "That's why I said that you were deceived. Sun Shangwei is not Sun Chengyu's son, but his nephew.
At that time, Sun Chengyu's sister was deceived into losing her innocence. The person who deceived him lied that he was the emperor visiting in secret. Because he took a jade pendant with a carved dragon, Sun Chengyu's sister believed it to be true.
The Sun family always thought they were raising a prince, but in fact he was the son of a palace craftsman in charge of jade carving.
Sun Shangwei refused to accept this fact and wanted to kill me, but he killed me instead.
Seeing that the person they supported died, the Sun family planned to find another way forward, using the 50,000 soldiers and horses here in exchange for the king to marry Sun Shurong as his queen. This is the truth of the matter."
After listening to Xiao Chengyi's story, Sun Xingyang couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Has his adoptive father been lying to him all this time?
He obviously promised him that his daughter would be betrothed to him after the event was completed, how could he go back on his promise and give Shu Rong the title of queen to someone else?
Sun Xingyang's hand holding the sword tightened, he looked at Xiao Chengyi and said: "As long as I kill you, Shu Rong will not marry someone else and become a queen."
