Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

When Zhou Suye arrived at the border with the army, the crown prince’s face immediately darkened.

Zhou Suye led the troops there, and before that, the imperial decree of Emperor Zhou to recall the crown prince had arrived.

However, the crown prince didn’t leave.

Zhou Suye was the crown prince’s younger brother, so he wasn’t qualified to say anything about it.

Even if the crown prince actually defied the emperor!

The crown prince refused to leave, pretending that he hadn’t received the decree. Given his identity, all the generals at the border and Zhou Suye couldn’t say anything.

The reason why the crown prince wanted to stay was aboveboard. He must find himself back!

He thought Heaven Dragon was nothing at all! He failed last time because of negligence. At present, he must get everything back and no one could stop him!

Moreover, he had to win a victory so that he could make up for his mistake.

The crown prince had a perfect reason to stay. A man should get up where he fell down, shouldn’t he?

Since Emperor Zhou wasn’t there, he was the most distinguished man at the border.

Therefore, no one could really stop him.

Thus, in a battle two days later, there was such a scene.

“Chase over there!” The crown prince shouted, standing on the city wall.

The general of Eastern Darkness next to him frowned immediately. “Your Highness, that must be a trap.”

“Nonsense!” The crown prince didn’t believe it. “How could it be? Look over there. There are only several soldiers. A general is also there! I know that general. I must arrest him today!”

The general next to him tried to stop him. “Your Highness, it won’t be easy to arrest that general at that place. The terrain over there…”

“Stop talking nonsense!” The crown prince got angry. “You’re a bunch of cowards! If you aren’t willing to do it, I will go personally!”

“Your Highness,” Zhou Suye also said, “We’re not familiar with the terrain. Let’s listen to General Song.”

“Get lost! Who the hell are you?” The crown prince was originally very dissatisfied with Zhou Suye. Seeing that that guy dared to oppose him, he got so angry that he wanted to rush over and beat him.

Regardless of other people’s dissuasion, the crown prince went to take revenge on that general!

Well, who was that general? Naturally, it was Liu Suifeng.

Last time, Liu deliberately wore a silver-white armor and the crown prince almost became a captive.

Therefore, the general with the silver-white armor left a lasting impression on the crown prince.

This time, Liu and his men also received the news and made a plan, which was to find a way to lure the crown prince into the trap again. A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit. A normal person would definitely hesitate to go to the battlefield, especially after he almost died once!

However, Liu and his men knew the crown prince very well.

They also knew that Zhou Suye was present!

Therefore, the crown prince could only make a last stand!

Otherwise, why would he still stay there?

Because of that, Liu believed that the crown prince would definitely walk into the trap.

Sure enough, the crown prince led his army there.

Perhaps, the crown prince also knew it was a trap. It might be just as he thought.

Even if he knew it, he still had to do something!

Otherwise, everyone would despise him!

Besides, he was very confident because he had enough troops with him. So what if it was really a trap?

All he wanted was to win the battle!

Therefore, the crown prince led his soldiers to chase the enemy.

However, the crown prince was still too naïve. Indeed, he had enough soldiers.

A large number of people didn’t equal to a victory on the battlefield. What really mattered was strategy.

Therefore, after the crown prince took the army over, he was trapped.

It seemed that he and his men was about to be surrounded.

At this time, Zhou Suye said, “I’ll save the crown prince.”

The general immediately shook his head and refused. “No, I’ll go!”

“General, you’re indispensable here.” Zhou Suye said slowly, his eyes gleaming with determination. “I’m a prince. I don’t think Heaven Dragon really want to end their relationship with our nation. Even if they capture me, I won’t be killed. But general, if you go there and the army is surrounded by them, the border will be completely in a mess.”

Of course the general understood this, but if both the crown prince and the fifth prince were caught by the enemy, even though they wouldn’t be killed and Heaven Dragon just wanted to negotiate with them, Emperor Zhou wouldn’t let him go later!

“General, that’s the decision,” Zhou Suye said firmly.

In the end, the general said nothing, because he couldn’t change Zhou’s mind.

Zhou took some soldiers to save the crown prince.

He was much more prudent than the brainless and reckless crown prince. He adopted a steady approach and gradually got close to the enemy, but still focused on defense.

Watching from the city wall, that general felt more relieved.

Although Zhou’s approach couldn’t take effect soon, it was safe. Moreover, it could deter the enemy.

However, Liu had been waiting for Zhou to go there!

When Zhou finally got close to the crown prince…

Liu deliberately created an opportunity for him.

So Zhou became the one who personally rescued the crown prince. The troops who went there with Zhou were all blocked by the army of Heaven Dragon.

Liu first allowed Zhou to rescue the crown prince. Then, pretending to be very anxious and neglecting his own safety, he rushed to the enemy and tried to get the crown prince back.

Liu pursued vigorously and laughed at the crown prince who could only hide behind his brother!

The crown prince got furious and his eyes even became red.

Then, Liu secretly sprinkled a handful of powder that could make people restless.

Afterwards, the crown prince ignored the fact that Zhou was saving him and stabbed Zhou in the back!

The crown prince stabbed so hard!

If Zhou hadn’t dodged a little bit, it’d definitely be more serious than only his shoulder being pierced through!

“Your Highness! What are you doing?” Zhou shouted.

The crown prince said frantically, “I want you to die!”

“Your Highness! Are you out of your mind?” Zhou yelled in anger.

The crown prince didn’t care about him at all.

At this time, a general of Heaven Dragon got to Liu’s side.

“General! Let’s go! There are too many enemies! Don’t go deep!”

General Liu seemed very unwilling, but was still taken away.

However, things hadn’t been over between Zhou and the crown prince.

The crown prince stabbed Zhou with his sword again.

Zhou hurriedly dodged. At this time, Liu, who had been “taken away” by a general, used internal strength and threw a stone towards Zhou and the stone just hit Zhou’s shoulder in the back.

As a result, Zhou’s sword directly pierced the crown prince’s chest.

Everyone was stunned by this scene.

“No, not me… Someone plotted against me,” Zhou said.

However, in such turmoil, how could Zhou find the one who did that to him?

Besides, the most important thing at the moment was the injury of the crown prince!

So the others hurriedly carried the crown prince back.

Zhou looked around and picked up the stone, but except for himself who knew that he was plotted against by others, everybody else thought that he wanted to kill the crown prince.

Although… the crown prince also tried to kill him.

Other people would only think that the two brothers tried to kill each other!

At this time, Liu had already retreated to his team.

When Long heard the news, he almost yelled with excitement.

It was much more effective than their plan!

If the crown prince was killed by Zhou, haha, it would be great!

Fang was also very happy.

They exulted, but Emperor Zhou was frustrated.

It was true that he also wanted to kill the crown prince a long time ago.

However, it would be another matter if the crown prince was killed by his brother!

Killing his brother… It was something that an emperor was most likely to be criticized for since ancient times!

So Emperor Zhou was furious.

He didn’t believe that his favorite son killed the crown prince.

It was chaotic at that moment.

And Zhou said that he was framed!

No one knew what really happened…

No matter what, the scene of the two brothers’ trying to kill each other took place on the battlefield, which had been seen by tens of thousands of people. It couldn’t be denied!

Every time Emperor Zhou thought of this, he was worried to death.

At the court meeting in the morning, many ministers criticized the fifth prince.

Hearing that, Emperor Zhou looked very bad.
