At dawn, the first rays of sunlight pierced through the morning clouds and shone on the oil-paper windows of the Prince of Qi's residence. The servants in the residence were already bustling about. Xiao Ming, who had barely slept all night, rose early. Li San was busy arranging the servants who would accompany Xiao Ming to the banquet. For a spring outing, a prince naturally had to bring many servants. Among these servants, Li San had secretly placed numerous secret guards. In addition to Lu Fei's thirty…-

"Sun Yuanzhi has conspired to assassinate the Prince of Qi! Anyone involved will be executed without mercy!" Li San shouted at the top of his lungs. The servants who had suddenly turned violent were actually secret guards disguised as assassins. In an instant, most of the powerful families who had conspired with Sun Yuanzhi were either dead or injured. Sun Yuanzhi himself was forced to retreat under the relentless assault of the secret guards. However, the private soldiers from the Sun family, charging…

"Since Master Sun has spoken, what should we do now that His Highness has changed the location? All our plans these past few days have been ruined." An elderly man wearing a square scarf asked. "Master Hua is absolutely right. What should we do next? You need to explain," someone else chimed in. Sun Yuanzhi sneered, "The messenger from the Prince of Qi just said the outing will be by the Xiaoqing River, near the lotus pond. Every year, many people from Qingzhou City go there to enjoy the scenery.…

"Exactly. With peach blossom petals stuck to his shoes, he must have lingered outside the main hall. That's why I suspected he would go out to report tonight. I didn't expect to be right," Li San said, glaring fiercely at Kui Zi. "Commander, you're truly wise. It's no wonder His Highness chose you from among all the servants. Unlike this guy, who can only do sneaky, underhanded things," one of the men flattered. Li San's face showed a hint of pride, and he gave the man an appreciative look. "If we're…

"Li San." Pang Yukun and Xiao Ming looked outside to see Li San entering. During the previous incident, Wang Xuan had suffered greatly in prison. When the executions took place in the eastern market, Wang Xuan was replaced by a death row prisoner. Since Wang Xuan had been disheveled and the focus of the execution was on Wang Chengchou, Wang Xuan hadn't drawn much attention. However, Wang Xuan's injuries were severe, and he was now recuperating at home. For the time being, the secret guards were under…

South Gate of Qingzhou City. Xiao Ming, accompanied by a group of Qingzhou officials, was seeing off Princess Pingyang. Just as her arrival had drawn attention, her departure was equally conspicuous. Xiao Ming had explained the entire situation with the Wang family to Princess Pingyang the previous night. Her reaction had been indifferent, as if she had merely squashed an ant. However, this trip to Qingzhou had taken an unexpected turn, and Princess Pingyang seemed unwilling to stay any longer. She…

"Your Highness, this commoner will comply." Qin Chuanyun felt a deep sense of sorrow but had no choice. Private armies were the primary reason powerful families could dominate the countryside. Now that these private armies were to be disbanded, they would lose their status as powerful families and could no longer act with impunity. Pang Yukun then said, "Qin Chuanyun, overall, you have done much for His Highness, and he still trusts you. We hope the Qin family can set an example in this matter. Soon,…

An eerie atmosphere spread across the battlefield. Lu Fei and Ouyang Mu stared in horror at Wang Chengheng on the fortress walls. The agonized screams and the faint wisps of smoke rising from Wang Chengheng’s body were what truly terrified them. "Sorcery!" A soldier in the Qingzhou army whispered, his voice deliberately low. "Your Highness, this…" Lu Fei hesitated, wanting to ask but not daring to. In ancient times, anything that couldn’t be explained was often attributed to sorcery or dark…

"Traitors! Traitors! You are all traitors!" On the earthen fortress walls, Wang Chengheng looked around, meeting cold, unfeeling gazes. His eyes bloodshot, he glared at Wang Chengping and swung his steel sword down with all his might. At that moment, the soldiers behind Wang Chengheng immediately grabbed Wang Chengping and pinned him to the ground. A faint smile appeared on Wang Chengping's lips as he stepped forward and shouted to Xiao Ming below, "Your Highness, I am Wang Chengping. We have captured…

Twenty miles north of Qingzhou City. This was the location of the Wang family estate. At this moment, the fortress walls were lined with the Wang family’s private soldiers. The fortress was constructed entirely of compacted earth, with walls twelve meters high and five meters thick. At each corner of the walls stood a watchtower, each manned by over a dozen archers aiming their bows at the Qingzhou army outside. Inside the fortress, the Wang family’s retainers and private soldiers were busy…
