619 Do you want to abandon the dark and join the light
Xiao Hanzheng’s words surprised both the princess and Prince Jin.
They were all smart people.
They knew that they had been tricked by Zhuo Jun and the North Prince.
It was no wonder that the emperor had removed their names from the imperial court.
Zhuo Jun had given the list to the emperor.
The goal was simple.
They wanted to use the emperor to weaken both forces, so that the Ge Kingdom could take advantage of the loophole.
The two of them felt a sense of fear at the same time.
If Xiao Hanzheng had not pointed out Zhuo Jun’s identity and forced the North Prince to show up, both sides would have been badly injured.
Whoever won would be waiting for the North Prince’s harvest.
No wonder Xiao Hanzheng said that they would not be the winner if they fought.
The princess from the previous dynasty did not expect her own daughter to betray her and even set her up.
If not for Zhou Jun’s quick-wittedness to walk over and stand beside her father, she would have given her daughter a few tight slaps.
She looked at Zhou Jun and said sarcastically, “I’ve raised such a good daughter.”
Zhou Jun looked at her and smiled.
“I am who I am today because of how you have raised me.”
When she was young, she had also yearned for her mother’s love.
However, in the end, all she got was being advantage of and being disfavored, so her love also turned into hatred.
The princess from the previous dynasty choked.
She then sneered, “Do you think that the North Prince is sincere to you then?
“He is just taking advantage of you.”
She didn’t believe that the North Prince would have any father-daughter relationship with Zhou Jun.
Zhuo Jun smiled.
“Even if I’m being taken advantage of, I’m willing to.
“No matter what, my father was very good to me when I was young.
“He would hug me and tell me stories. He would take me out to buy good food. In my heart, he will always be a good father.”
“My father is different from you, ” she said calmly. “He once treated me as his daughter, but you didn’t.”
When she suddenly found out that her father was still alive, she didn’t feel that she was being deceived, but she was happy.
In particular, her father did not hide his identity or plan.
She felt that her father still viewed her as his daughter, and that was enough.
The North Prince laughed.
“You’re originally my daughter. Isn’t it only right to treat you well?
“Of course, I’m trying to take advantage of you by asking you to help me deal with the emperor, Xiao Hanzheng, your mother, and Prince Jin. But I don’t think it’s a big deal.
“When the big event is over, I’ll take you back to the Ge Kingdom. I won’t let you be in danger. That’s enough.”
He did not lack children, but he still had some father-daughter feelings for Zhuo Jun.
Of course, he would take advantage of her more, but he didn’t think there was any problem with that.
As his daughter, she naturally had to prioritize the interests of the North Prince’s residence.
“I understand what you mean, imperial father. I don’t mind,” said Zhuo Jun with a smile.
She didn’t care, but she had made the previous dynasty’s princess and Prince Jin feel disgusted.
Liang Yujun’s expression was a little ugly as he said, “I really didn’t expect that we were all wrong.”
They had been taking advantage of Zhuo Jun, but now she was taking advantage of them. It was a slap in the face.
He then looked at the North Prince and snorted. “North Prince, what do you mean when you bring your people to my territory? Do you want to start a war?”
The North Prince laughed out loud.
“Do you think that I’m afraid of you?”
His eyes moved away from Prince Jin and landed on Xiao Hanzheng. “It seems that I have underestimated you. No wonder you are so valued by the emperor of Daliang. You are not bad.
“Our Ge Kingdom has always welcomed talented and knowledgeable people. Do you want to abandon the dark and join the light? ”
He then threw out the bait. “I value you and your wife very much. If you are willing to go to the Ge Kingdom, I can make you the minister in the Ge Kingdom and ask the emperor to make an exception and let Shi Qingluo be the princess.”
Prince Jin was speechless.
This b * stard was really not a good person. Not only was he so arrogant in front of him, but he had also tried to poach Daliang’s people right under his nose.
However, he didn’t refute it, because the North Prince was very powerful and had a great influence on the emperor of the Ge Kingdom.
He looked at Xiao Hanzheng, not knowing if they would be tempted.
They would be the minister and the princess.
Xiao Hanzheng smiled. “Thank you for your appreciation, North Prince. But please forgive me for not being tactful.
“If I want to be the minister, I will work hard to fight for it in Daliang. It is my fortune if I get it, my destiny if I lose it. I don’t insist on getting it.
“I’m a citizen of Daliang when I’m alive and a ghost of Daliang when I die. I can’t betray my country for power.”
Shi Qing laughed as well. “I think it’s good to be a princess. Being a princess doesn’t necessarily lead to a better life.”
She shrugged again. “Isn’t there an ex-princess here? She’s not even as good as me, a county princess, who can lead an unrestrained life openly.”
The princess from the previous dynasty was speechless.
She felt that her heart was being stabbed.
She was no longer as soft and weak as before.
Instead, she sounded a little impatient and cold. “That’s enough. Stop talking nonsense.
“Since I’ve led to the discovery of the treasure, let’s fight for it with our own abilities.”
If she had known that Zhuo Jun would betray her, she would not have plotted against Prince Jin.
“Let’s work together and turn the North Prince into a dead oriole,” she said to Prince Jin.
Let’s see how the North Prince can sit back and reap the benefits.
Liang Yujun nodded. “I think so too.”
Compared to the previous dynasty, the North Prince was a greater threat.
Thus, both sides came to an agreement and attacked the North Prince and his people.
The North Prince was also very unhappy.
After all, he had already planned to let those from the previous dynasty and Prince Jin’s people to be severely injured while he took advantage of the situation.
Who would have thought that Xiao Hanzheng would know Zhuo Jun’s identity and even guess his purpose, forcing him to come out in advance to meet the alliance of the previous dynasty and Prince Jin?
He cursed in his heart and thought that after this was over, he would not only capture Shi Qingluo but also bring Xiao Hanzheng back with him.
However, Xiao Hanzheng was so unthinkable that he would only be tortured if he brought him back.
The people he had brought were the cream of the crop, so even though they had fewer people than the combined strength of both forces, they had always had the upper hand.
With three parties in a fight, there were casualties very soon.
The North Prince even killed the secret guards who were the most skilled in martial arts around Prince Jin and the princess from the previous dynasty personally.
This also made Prince Jin and the princess from the previous dynasty extremely shocked.
They did not expect that the North Prince’s martial arts skill to be even stronger than what was rumored.
There were more and more fatalities on both sides.
The princess from the previous dynasty had no choice but to retreat to a corner with her people.
When Prince Jin’s people saw this, they protected him and retreated together.
Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo also moved in that direction.
Although they were still some distance apart, they were going in the same direction.
Then, the trap master whom the princess from the previous dynasty brought along suddenly activated a mechanism.
Countless arrows were shot out from the dragon’s heads above their heads, shooting toward the North Prince and his men.
The North Prince immediately used his sword to deflect the arrow ferociously.
His men were also prepared.
Many of them took out a shield from their back and blocked the arrows.
Of course, there were also some people who were injured by arrows.
Then, a group of armored troops owned the North Prince came in from outside.
They half-knelt in front of the North Prince. “Reporting to Your Highness, the people that Prince Jin and the princess from the previous dynasty had planted outside have all been cleared.”
Prince Jin and the princess from the previous dynasty, who were obviously at a disadvantage, looked upset.
They had never expected that the North Prince would have another identity in Daliang and that Zhuo Jun would betray them.
It was obvious that the North Prince had pre-planned everything and was more prepared than them.
