CHAPTER 758: CHAPTER 344: SECRET DISCOVERED? (SECOND RELEASE)

"Do you think this Prince is not skilled in the use of troops?" Xiao Jinsen asked Ye Qichi with a slightly sunk expression.

Ye Qichi did not know what Xiao Jinsen’s intentions were.

Perhaps it was merely an attempt to coax some advantageous suggestions from her.

She spoke frankly, "It’s not about your capability, but the absence of Military Soul! If Xiao Jinxing gives up his sword for Bai Mowan this time, have you thought about whether the soldiers of Daxuan Kingdom will still have the confidence to fight? An army without morale is like loose sand, scattered by the slightest wind! Therefore, once Xiao Jinxing falls, Mu Junze will still lead his forces to invade Daxuan, and you will be powerless to resist. However, all these consequences will be borne by the innocent citizens."

Xiao Jinsen remained silent.

Ye Qichi’s words had clearly caused some emotional turbulence.

These were considerations he had not ignored himself.

Relying on Beimu Country was his last resort.

Xiao Jinxing had pushed him to this hopeless situation; he had no other choice.

In the current situation, he had no resistance either.

If he does not help Mu Junze, he can never return to Daxuan Kingdom and will never ascend to the emperor’s throne. He had sacrificed so much for this position; he could not just cede it to Xiao Jinxing.

But helping Mu Junze, as Ye Qichi said, might ultimately lead Daxuan Kingdom to a state where the people suffer under his rule, and he would become a heinous figure in Daxuan history.

"Your Highness Prince Chu, this is not a wise move for you," Ye Qichi observed the complexity and contradictions in Xiao Jinsen’s heart.

If it were not for extreme desperation.

Xiao Jinsen would not choose to betray his country for glory.

She said, "All I have said just now still only stands if Xiao Jinxing decides to spare Bai Mowan over the world. But what if he chooses the world over Bai Mowan?! Your current action is hastening your death."

Xiao Jinsen’s expression turned cold.

"With Xiao Jinxing bringing his troops right to the gates of Muge City, do you really believe you have the upper hand against the Bai Family’s army led by Xiao Jinxing? Perhaps earlier there was a chance, as defending has its advantages, but after losing thousands of soldiers in the continuous five-day battle while trying to capture Bai Mowan, do you really think you can still defeat Xiao Jinxing?! Are you really staking everything on Bai Mowan? Do you believe she truly has the capability to change the situation of the world?!"

"So, what do you think is the best choice for this Prince right now?" Xiao Jinsen did not give much thought to Ye Qichi’s words.

Smart people know right from wrong at a glance.

No need for deep thought.

"The real person who should lay down their sword is not Xiao Jinxing, but you, Prince," Ye Qichi stated each word deliberately.

Xiao Jinsen’s expression suddenly changed sharply.

To give up everything?!

He had already come this far; he couldn’t possibly let go.

Ye Qichi knew Xiao Jinsen was difficult to persuade, but she still wanted to try.

After all, a dead horse can be used as a living horse doctor.

She continued, "Your best choice now, Prince, is to part ways with Mu Junze. While Mu Junze still trusts you, when Xiao Jinxing attacks the city, you should open the city gates for him from inside. In doing so, you would have rendered a great service, and Xiao Jinxing would not relentlessly pursue you. Even if Xiao Jinxing harbors reservations towards you and you end up without real power, at least you can live out the rest of your life as a carefree prince, which isn’t bad."

"Well said, all quite coherent," Xiao Jinsen laughed.

A cold laugh.

Ye Qichi watched him.

"Ultimately, all this comes around, and you’re still helping Xiao Jinxing," Xiao Jinsen said coldly.

"Helping him is natural, because helping him is helping the common people of Daxuan Kingdom. But Prince, you cannot deny that what I said isn’t helping you," Ye Qichi stated bluntly, "Does the Prince want to be infamously notorious or be praised for generations? The Prince already has a plan in his heart."

"This Prince doesn’t care; this Prince only wants what belongs to this Prince alone! Ye Qichi, your words today are just a waste of breath,"

"If it was just a waste of breath, the Prince would not have listened to me this much,"

"Listening to you this much was just to ascertain how deep your feelings for Xiao Jinxing truly are, it has no impact on the Prince’s decision,"

Ye Qichi pursed her lips.

"Put it plainly, Ye Qichi. Even if it turns out as you said, and Mu Junze betrays me, I accept it. My entire life, all the humiliation has been because of Xiao Jinxing, and even if I perish with him, the Prince still deems it worth it!" Xiao Jinsen said resolutely.

Just now, he listened to Ye Qichi speaking so extensively, not only to confirm Ye Qichi’s feelings for Xiao Jinxing, but more importantly, he wanted to find out from Ye Qichi’s mouth the final development situation she envisioned; after all, he had to admit that Ye Qichi was intelligent, and the things she said were pretty much in line with what he could think of.

That is to say, Mu Junze will likely disregard personal feelings and invade Daxuan.

So he had to think of a better way to preserve before that.

Like, catching Mu Junze in a compromising situation.

A sly glimmer flashed through Xiao Jinsen’s eyes.

Gone in a flash.

He looked straight at Ye Qichi again and said, "Ye Qichi, it’s best not to let others know how clever you are!"

Ye Qichi frowned.

"Remember this phrase of mine," Xiao Jinsen said coldly.

Ye Qichi had not yet fully considered what Xiao Jinsen really meant.

Suddenly, Xiao Jinsen yanked away the clothing on her shoulder.

Ye Qichi did not scream.

But clearly, her expression was displeased.

Being torn open like this, even as an apocalypse survivor, she couldn’t remain completely composed.

Xiao Jinsen glanced at Ye Qichi’s expression.

Indeed, she was much steadier than Bai Mowan.

He could not remember when, but his interest in women had already shifted away from Bai Mowan.

If it weren’t for having to perform a play with Mu Junze just now, he wouldn’t have bothered wasting his energy on Bai Mowan.

It must be said.

His judgment was indeed quite good.

Ye Qichi really was more intelligent and wise than Bai Mowan.

By Ye Qichi’s side, Bai Mowan suddenly felt utterly insignificant.

So in this return, he did not even give a single glance towards Bai Mowan.

He lowered his gaze to Ye Qichi’s smooth shoulder.

His eyes tightened.

"Weren’t you injured?" Xiao Jinsen asked.

Ye Qichi pursed her lips.

Naturally, after a day and night of recovery, it had all healed.

Bai Mowan also stared surprisingly at Ye Qichi’s shoulder.

Once Xiao Jinsen arrived, naturally, she also fixed her gaze on them.

Listening to the dialogue between Ye Qichi and Xiao Jinsen.

She couldn’t help but admire Ye Qichi’s ability to remain calm for negotiations in such an environment.

The only thing she thought about was death.

If dead, she wouldn’t be a burden to anyone.

In this moment, seeing Ye Qichi’s smooth shoulder, she was also shocked.

She was very clear, she had indeed stabbed her shoulder with a sword.

Even though it wasn’t deep, how could there be no scar?!

What exactly is Ye Qichi?!
